F. is described as citizen & baker of London,, which agrees with several old deeds, 1690 - 1700. Records of the Bakers Company: 10 May 1647. Thos. P., son of Thos. F. of Anson under Hill. Oxon., yeoman, bound apprentice to Daniel Shawe. Suggests that when he changed his occupation from baker to chairmaker he may still officially called himself baker, because there was no chairmaker's company to call himself after. Proposes to rely on an attested statement by a friend of the family. Samuel Bodington, that Thos. F. was a cane chairmaker & lived in Paul's Church Yard ..
