Further Notes
Treasurership - The first record of Weaver's choce as Treasurer of the English Stock is at the annual election of 1 Mar 1610, but it is likely that he had been chosen earlier to replace the previous Treasurer, William Cotton, who had died sometime between his last annual re-election on 1 Mar 1609 and 22 Feb 1610 when his widow's remarriage was referred to in the Court Book. --- Renter Wardenship - Weaver was fined only £6/12/0 rather than the usual £20, the rest being remitted "by reason of his other Imploymt in the Company", a reference to his poition as Treasurer of the English Stock. --- Assistantship - Although Weaver was only elected 17 Jul he had already attended a meeting of the Court on 2 Apr 1623, presumably as member of a Court - appointed committee to which he had been named on 10 March. ---
