I’d like to learn more about my 8xgt-grandfather, Robert NEWTON, who was the Rector of Frittenden, Kent from the 1660s until his death in 1725. I’ve looked at the Frittenden parish registers for that period but not many have survived and he didn’t add any little notes to give me clues about his...

I think the title says exactly what I'm looking for, however in addition to that - what would their duties consist of and was any remuneration provided? The time period would be from about the early 1700's to the 1830's or possibly a bit later and involved several generations of the same family ...

He matriculated from Oxford in 1664 and his BA...
