Exch, 11, 16). 1611 Rob. Cullum granted Bostocke C[astle]. to H. Billingsley, Alderman, of London, and the latter to Jas. Golde (Inq. Chan, 6b). 1641 W. Cullum, of Bodestow, "with souldyrres," is stated by T. Southwell to have half-hanged and thrown into the Deel E. Harding (Dep, 268). 1655 Woodstocke and Cahyreenossa, W.
