   James Savage, 2nd husband of Ellinior [Hendricks] who had first married Christopher Fitzsimons, complained that his brother in law John Hendricks of 
   Douglas 'threatened to give him disturbance about the part of this 3d rent that formerly belonged to him under pretence that his name was not John 
   Whipps as mentioned [in 1688] and that he did not give up his right to the premises to Christopher Fitzsimons'. James Savage, being a stranger/foreigner, 
   requested a court hearing and the conclusion was that John Hendricks' claims were groundless, and that Hendricks had given up his right to Christopher 
   Fitzsimons 'in consideration of his instruction in the hands of a hatter' and James Savage offered to bring in testimony that John Hendricks' father 
   went by the name of Whipps.
