The Oldest Surviving Record
of a
Bundock in Essex, England
I found it.
In the book, The Medieval
Essex Community: The Lay Subsidy
of 1327, ed. Jennifer C. Ward.
Drum roll, please.
John
Bundock
spelled Johanne Bondok’
He’s living in the
village of Saint Lawrence, Essex.
Because he’s paying
taxes, he must be over 25 years old.
Probably older. So, he must
have been born in the late 13th Century (late 1200’s.)
