"1725
Pinchbeck
The Vicar of Pinchbeck has also a later Terrier of the parish, dated 1725, from which it appears that many of the families who lived there in 1600 had become extinct or gone away. The names of those who still remained in 1725 were BYSTLE, BROWNN, CALTHORP, CARR, CARTER, COY, CUST, EDGOOSE, ELLIN, GILL, JACKSON, OGLE, OLDFEILD, ROBINSON, SLATER, SMITH, STYLES, TROLLOP, WALPOLE, WILSBY, and WILKINSON. Nearly all these names have now disappeared, and I believe I am correct in stating that no landowner at Pinchbeck, excepting Earl BROWNLOW, now bears the same name as any of those mentioned in 1600."
