Oath of Allegiance, 1723
Everyone over the age of 18 who held land had to take the oaths of allegiance to the House of Hanover,
supremacy
and
abjuration in 1723. The oaths were recorded in the records of the Quarter Sessions, held in Winslow at The Bell on 12 September and 10 December. No Quakers or Catholics were listed for Winslow. 154 people are recorded as taking the oath (compared to 69 from Great Horwood and 75 from Whitchurch). Newport Pagnell was the only place in North Bucks with more (168); there are only 92 from Stony Stratford and just 6 from Buckingham.
The list below has been extracted from Buckinghamshire Quarter Session Calendars, vol.6, available from the Bucks Record Society website. The format of the names follows that of the printed volume, not necessarily the original document. Where it is known whether the oath-taker signed or put his/her mark, this has been noted.
