Chancellors

Leslie's "Armagh Clergy" corrects Cotton's Fasti ecclesiae Hibernicae

Date From	Date To	Name	Notes
1622	1625	Thomas Crant	not Grant
1625	1641	Laurence Robinson	Cotton has John Samwood as Chancellor in 1629, but this is an error, for John Symonds, who was not made Chancellor, but Chantor or Precentor ; see Precentors and also R. V., 1633. Cotton also has Robert Price as Chancellor in 1637/8, admitted March 7. We find, however, from the F.F.R. R. Price was admitted not Chancellor of Armagh, but Chancellor of Connor on March 7, 1637/8.]
1641	1643	Vacant
1643	1664	Edward Slegg	erroneously called William Sley and placed among the Deans by Cotton, misled by the Lib. Mun. and a note on the margin of the Chancery Roll),
