John Weld, bp. Terling 6 June 1625 [NEHGR 36:405]; attended Harvard briefly in 1643-4 but was expelled for burglary [Morison 309-10; WJ 2:203-04; Sibley 1:121-22 (incorrectly calling him "Joseph")]; "family tradition is that he was minister of a parish in Durham, whose name called Riton is not easily to be found, near his father probably, and he may have been ejected instead of that Thomas, whom Calamy names, by the Bartholomew Act, as the father was in his grave before that day" [Savage 4:457 (the parish of Ryton is a few miles west of Gateshead)].
