URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=104825 Date accessed: 07 December 2009. June 1690 Treasury warrant to the Customs Commissioners establishing eight riding officers for the guard of the Kentish coast (to prevent the carrying of wool into France and bringing over uncustomed and prohibited goods by the French privateers) : at a salary of 60l. per an. each as in lieu of the two sloops now employed : said officers to be David Russen and Thomas Hatton at Lydd ; Henry Broadly and Edward Anderson at Romney ; John Knight and Edward Furlong at Hythe and William Whatton and Robert Underwood at Folkeston : to be removed or exchanged from one station to another as may be found convenient : by which method 1,008l. 4s. 0d. per an. will be saved out of the establishment of said two sloops, the present charge of which is 1,488l. 4s. 0d. per an. : viz. the sloop Enquiry, Peter Knight commander, who by a Treasury warrant of 1689, June 11, had an addition of eight men to his complement of 11 men and a boy ; and the Observator sloop, John Knight commander, who by the same warrant had 20 men added to make his complement 30 men. The present warrant is by reason of the Customs Commissioners' memorial of the 12th inst. based on the report of Mr. Breton, customer and collector of Dover, and Mr. Colchester, surveyor, who was sent to inspect the several ports in Kent and Sussex, to the effect that the great number of French privateers upon the coast have in effect rendered both the said sloops useless, which (though they generally keep together) are not strong enough to prevent the said privateers from bringing over prohibited goods.

The Hatton family I am chasing was based at Forthampton and Tewkesbury, with offshoots in Corse, Upleadon, Hartpury and Tibberton in Gloucestershire, and Eldersfield and Staunton in Worcestershire. I am particularly interested in wills. William Good Sydney, Australia
