I am making absolutely no attempt to determine which records are correct or not as this is a fun hobby and not a grad student dissertation. The Universe will start around 1700 and will include everyone that I have found mention of.
Until then, I live vicariously through you.

Also in this volume is an appendix by Humphreys that is a chronicle of fights that occured with descriptions. It is a good supplement to Fistiana's chronicle. Humphreys has some interesting commenmtary on some of the bouts. If a mill was 2nd rate he is very explicit. Have I sent you a copy of this already? I don't remember.
