City of Lincoln Waites

Smith - 1740

6 December 1740

"Kalendar for a Waite
Benjamin Johnson - 6 Voices
George Crawthorn - 12 Voices
______ Smith - 18 Voices and Chosen"
(ref: L1/1/17, page 250).

Benjamin Johnson, who was still a Wait in 1755 and George Crawthorn became Waites two years later. Tantalizingly, the minute book simply leaves a blank space where Smith's first name should be. Could this be the John Smith that was again mentioned as a Wait in 1756?
