HISTORY OF CAWTHORNE.

sixpence on some smaller holdings of from four to seven acres, but in most cases nine or ten shillings per acre. The asterisk shows that the rate per acre is not exactly what is given.

The record from which this is taken seems an older one than that of 1649, some few Christian names in it being different, and the rental of certain holdings lower. It also gives an account headed "for stocke of severall Townesmen in goods: Thomas Woffenden £20, Will. Shirt £30; John Shirtt £80; Robt. Shirtt £100; Nath. Bothamley £20; Jo. Crosland £20; Low. Bower £40; Tho. Smith £100; Nath. Linley, £100; Tho. Gawtherupp, £100; Jo. Satterfeild £800."

On the re-establishment of the Militia after the Restoration, we find the names of Josias Micklethwaite, Robert Smith, William Littlewood, Daniel Hinthman, the first and the last two as Musketeers, and Littlewood as a Pikeman, chargeable from Cawthorne. (Muster Roll of Sir Michael Wentworth's Regiment, 1680: History of Barnsley, p.36.)

For the next military record in connection with Cawthorne we must pass a hundred and twenty years, to the time of the Staincross Volunteers, of which there has already been mention made in connection with their commanding officer (page 31).
