*Note PROBABLY JOHN MOORE, ADM. AT CORPUS CHRISTI 1737, MATRIC, LENT 1738, DEACON (YORK) 1744, PRIEST 1745. PERHAPS SON OF JOHN MOORE, LATE OF ARMLEY, GENT. ADM. AT GRAY'S INN, 1736-7

ON DECEMBER 10TH I HAD NOTICE OF MR MOORE'S DEATH BY A LETTER FROM MY COUSIN, J. HARDCASTLE. SENT HIS OWN SERVANT, AND WHICH HAPPENED THE DAY BEFORE; AND ON THE 11TH I WAS AT LEEDS BY 8 IN THE MORNING AND HAVING GOT A CERTIFICATE FROM THE CLERGY THERE AND A LETTER OF PRESENTATION FROM DR KIRSHAW, VICAR OF LEEDS, I SET OUT IMMEDIATELY FOR BRODSWORTH, THE SEAT OF HIS GRACE THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK, AND ON WEDNESDAY THE TWELVTH WAS PROPERLY LICENCED BY THE SAID ABP., UPON THE SOLE NOMINATION OF THE SAID DR KIRSHAW, TO THE CHAPELLRY & CURACY OF HEADINGLEY.

AND THIS I MENTION (AS THERE MAY HAVE BEEN DISTURBANCES MADE BY SOME TURBULENT PEOPLE IN OTHER PARTS OF THE PARISH OF LEEDS, RELATING TO THE VICAR'S RIGHT OF PRESENTATION TO THE CURACIES IN THE VICARIDGE OF LEEDS) THAT WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN MY OWN CASE MAY BE MADE USE OF AS AN EVIDENCE IN CASE THERE SHOULD BE EVER ANY DISTURBANCES OF THE LIKE NATURE IN THIS PLACE, WHICH I HOPE INDEED WILL NEVER HAPPEN, BUT WHICH IT CAN NEVER BE IMPROPER TP PROVIDE AGAINST.

SAMUEL DISNEY, CURATE OF HEADINGLEY. BURIALS IN THE CHAPELL of HEADINGLEY A.D.
