Thomas Brightman

Hawnes, Dec. 21, 1681.

Sir,

Since you have desired and have been put into an expectation of receiving some information concerning Mr. Brightman, though I have little or nothing to serve you and your friend with, I send this to let you know that I find nothing of his arms; that upon the stone is engraven :

Here lies the body of Thomas Brightman, deceased, minister of this parish, who died Aug. 24, 1607.
