Richard doggett "by far the wealthiest individual in the village at that time." 1500's

Thank you Jim Doggett for your extensive work on your blog.  I am including it with various links I am using to share with my side of the family.

 Excerpt:  "Richard Doggett was found in Groton, Suffolk, in the Lay Subsidy of 14 and 15 Henry VIII (about 1523/24), with property valued at £80 and a £4 tax was levied on him. Richard was by far the wealthiest individual in the village at that time, as the entire tax paid by its inhabitants amounted to £5/15/3, and Richard's share was £4. Muskett lists Richard as appearing in the Lay Subsidy of 1526 of Norfolk (and Suffolk) 150.257, 18 Henry VIII, and calls him "a wealthy inhabitant of Groton, co. Suffolk." This appears to be a later tax list, but only by a few years."
