Even better is the British Civil War project which Mr Google has just found for me and for Devon and Cornwall for 1643 it is clear that the war ebbed and flowed up and down Devon ……...so in fact Capt Halse could have been part of either side obtaining rations for the troops …..I will try to find 11th May exactly . I had no idea !! I am spellbound now !!! -------------------------------------------- On Thu, 20/12/18, Joy Langdon via DEVON <devon@rootsweb.com> wrote: Subject: [DEV] Re: HALSE, Robert KYDLER, Peter PAYNE, 1640's To: devon@rootsweb.com Cc: "Joy Langdon" <joy.langdon@btinternet.com> Date: Thursday, 20 December, 2018, 15:27 I think in 1643 Tiverton was in the hands of the Royalists.  According to the link below " During the contest between Charles and the parliament, the townsmen were much divided; in 1643 they were for a time subject to the king, but in 1645 the republican forces effected the entire subjugation of the town, and the castle, church, and outworks were taken, together with the governor and 200 men." There s a blue paque at The White Horse Inn, Tiverton saying that in August 1643 John Lock, miller, was hung at the White Horse Inn by a troop of the King's Dragoons. https://www.british-history.ac.uk/topographical-dict/england/pp366-369a Can't help with Halse, Kydler and Payne.

They are mentioned on a requisition document for May 1643 during the Civil War.                     "             XI die Maii 1643 The goods of Mr Thomas Carew of Studleigh w[hic]h were  brought ?? by Captayne Halse his Troopers were these viz two hundred  twenty & five Sheepe, Seaven & thirty Lambes, thirteen Oxen and  Steers Sixe kyne Five heiffers of  Fouer yeeres old Fouer yearelings deliverd unto ?? Robert Kydler and Peter Payne" More animals are listed on the other side of the paper; the last entry is £3 worth of "Stone Cole"; in all £350  worth. Studleigh (now Stoodleigh) is a village about 5 miles north of Tiverton. Were the soldiers Royalists or Parliamentarians? Thomas Carew was a Royalist, but I don't imagine this would have influenced Captain Halse. So if one of your ancestors came to Stoodleigh &  took half our farming stock I'd like to hear from you!  :-) Chris _______________________________________________ ------------------------------------------ The DEVON-L mailing list is co-sponsored by GENUKI/Devon http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/DEV/   and  Devon FHS (http://www.devonfhs.org.uk/ ) _______________________________________________ Email preferences: http://bit.ly/rootswebpref Unsubscribe https://lists.rootsweb.com/postorius/lists/devon@rootsweb.com Privacy Statement: https://ancstry.me/2JWBOdY Terms and Conditions: https://ancstry.me/2HDBym9 Rootsweb Blog: http://rootsweb.blog RootsWeb is funded and supported by Ancestry.com and our loyal RootsWeb community _______________________________________________ ------------------------------------------ The DEVON-L mailing list is co-sponsored by GENUKI/Devon http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/DEV/   and  Devon FHS (http://www.devonfhs.org.uk/ ) _______________________________________________ Email preferences: http://bit.ly/rootswebpref Unsubscribe https://lists.rootsweb.com/postorius/lists/devon@rootsweb.com Privacy Statement: https://ancstry.me/2JWBOdY Terms and Conditions: https://ancstry.me/2HDBym9 Rootsweb Blog: http://rootsweb.blog RootsWeb is funded and supported by Ancestry.com and our loyal RootsWeb community
