Jonathan Hudson and his wife, Elizabeth (her mark) Hudson deposed, Sept. 23, 1667, that one night a man called Mr. Pinshin and a daughter of Dexter of Maulden came into his house. Pinshin came in as if he were frightened, saying that he was afraid of his life, and with his naked sword in his hand asked to be entertained that night. He said the Bridges were pursuing him, that they had taken the maid off the horse and since he had brought her from her father's he was resolved to carry her home again. They lodged there that night and the next morning went away.
