Although I have a poor library here on Puget Sound, the following from the Britannica, VOL. 29, P. 54 is right on the money. Just transfer what is said here about the Englishmen of England to the Englishmen of Rehoboth. "Like the gentry, the yeomanry were involved in local government, performing most of the day-today, face-to-face tasks. Yeomen were village elders, constables, and tax collectors, and they composed the juries that heard cases at quarter sessions, Most owned sufficient freehold land to be politically franchized and to participate in parliamentary selections. Filling out the ranks of rural society were husbandmen, cottagers and labourers." At Rehoboth the yeomanry were the Browns, Paines and Carpenters etc. BC
