Described as a Yeoman of Harefield in the Hillingdon Parish Register entry.

Yeoman was a retainer (dependant) of a feudal lord during the late Middle Ages in England. In the early 1400's, the name was used for officials in the households of nobles and for small freeholders and farmers on a feudal manor. By the Tudor period (1485-1603), yeomen had become an independent class of small landowners and farmers. They were superior in status to ordinary villagers and workers but ranked below gentlemen and squires. During the late 1700's, men of this class formed their own cavalry groups, called yeomanry. The yeomanry were officially organized by an Act of Parliament in 1794.
