Page 7: HENRY ADAMS m. EDITH SQUIRE, 19 Oct. 1609, Charlton Mackrell, Somersetshire, dau. of HENRY SQUIRE & grandau. of REV. WILLIAM SQUIRE, rector of Charlton Mackrell. Researcher, Robin Bush, found a record dated 10 April 1554m drawn up at the time of his being deprived of his benefice. By this William "Squyer", rector of Charlton Mackrell, was described as aged 52 (i.e. born c. 1501-2), as having married ALICE SKARLETT three years before (c. 1550-51) and was ordered to be deprived of his parish (D/D/Vc 66, f.10). The implication is that he continued to live with Alice and produce children since, if he had agreed to separate from her, he would probably have continued as rector. Squire may possibly be identified with the William Squyer/Squyre recorded as minister at Wellington, Somerset in 1524 and 1532 (Somerset Record Society, vol. 55, nos. 937, 948), but he was evidentally not a graduate and it is unlikely that his ancestry can be traced further.
