Biographical synthesis
Samuel Selwyn (b. ca. 1618; d.by 1664). Baker.
Resident in Wapping in 1658.
Evidence from High Court of Admiralty
Forty-nine year old Samuel Selwyn deposed on February 22nd 1659 in the High Court of Admiralty. He was examined on an allegation in the case of "Mitchell and Clements against Corbin aforesaid".[1]
Selwyn stated that Nicholas Rippen had met him in Eastsmithfield a year and a half ago. Rippen had wanted Selwyn to agree to become bound for Rippen in a bond of £31 for the payment of guns, gunpowder and materials to Mr Mitchell. The goods had been delivered to the ship the Roger and Edmund and Rippen owed Mitchell £10 for them. Selwyn refused to be bound, and then a month later, Mitchell himself had asked Selwyn to become bound, which Selwyn had likewise refused to do.[2]
