Abstract & context

John Bellamy [alt. Bellemy] (b. ca. 1619, Evesham, Worcestershire; m.16XX, Abigail; d. ca. 1665, Allhallowes Barking, London), wine cooper, of the parish of All Hallowes Barking.

His widow, Abigail (alias Abegell) was living on the west side of Seething Lane in the parish of All Hallowes Barking at the time of the 1666 hearth tax assessment, in a building of 10 hearths, her husband probably having died in 1665.^[1] A post-mortem inventory has survived, which should reveal details of the building in Seething Lane, and possibly some physical aspects of a wine cooper's trade.^[2] A Samuell Bellemy had a five hearth building close by, on the east side of Seething Lane, which was recorded as empty in same hearth tax assessment.^[3]

John Bellamy, at the age of thirty-nine, some seven years before his death, had provided testimony in the English Admiralty Court in the case of XXX.^[4]. He described himself as a wine cooper of Allgallowes Barking London, and stated that he had been employed by the London based merchant Antonio Rodrigues Robles for the last ten years "as his wine Cooper to take up and order his wynes." Robles (and thus also John Bellamy) was dealing in relatively large quantities of Canary wine, with Bellamy stating in his testimony that Robles "hath yearely receaved some tymes fower hundred pipes of Canariie wines sent thence by his factors to this Port of London for his Accompt."^[5]

John Bellamy's will

Bellamy's will makes reference to his wife, Abigail Bellamy, who survived him, and to his mother, Mary Bellamy, who was still living at the time of the making of the will. He had children under the age of twenty-one. Two sisters are mentioned, the one named Anne P[?arker] and the other named Mary Atkins. Reference is made to lands in the county of Suffolk.

In answers to interrogatories on the behalfe of the Lord Protector in the same case, John Bellamy stated that he was "an Englishman by byrth borne at Evesham in Worcestershiere."^[6]
