MONMOUTHSHIRE RECUSANTS , 1719 CONTRIBUTED BY JOHN HOBSON MATTHEWS
THE Process Book of the Quarter Sessions of the Peace holden in and for the County of Monmouth in 1719 is in the Usk Sessions House. It is a long folio paper book , bound in calf. The names printed in roman letters , immediately under the placenames, are those against whom proceedings were to be taken in 1719. Those following in italics were added later , probably in the two or three following years. The district covers only about half the county, and does not include the town of Monmouth . The long list of convicted recusants printed in Cath. Rec. Soc. vol . vi . contains no namesbelonging to this county ; so this may be held to be supplementary, although of a later period.
