Timothy LOVETT, Barber Surgeon or Courier?
« on: Friday 24 February 12 20:09 GMT (UK) »
The PCC Will of Timothy LOVETT, proved 1728, says that he was a Barber Surgeon of Amersham but was to be buried in Chalfont St Giles. However, several online references say that the Timothy LOVETT buried in Chalfont St Giles in 1728 was the seemingly well-travelled courier of the Duke of Marlborough.

Presumably there weren't two of them buried in the same year so which is it? Barber Surgeon or Courier?

Also, does anyone know who his parents were?

Hmmm. Another source descirbes him as a "Courtier" not "Courier". Not sure which is right ???

I should think that he was a physician who was a courtier to the duke.

The one Timothy Lovett I know of who is buried in CSG died in 1728 and has an unusual inscription on his memorial:
Italy and Spain Germany and France
Have been on earth my weary dance
So that I own ye graves my greatest friend
That to my travels all has put an end
I understand him to have been a courier for the Duke of Marlborough- the inscription would support this view
