Daniel Driver Master, and his wife Sarah to teach trade of Husbandman to apprentice Mary Appleyard, a Poor child of Tetbury, reference P328a OV 4/1 dated 15-Feb 1686

Daniel Driver was buried 17080222 and his widow Elizabeth was buried 17291109.

The surname Driver appeared to end in Tetbury with the burials of Daniel Driver, and his Widow, Elizabeth, till I found John's Apprenticeship entry at Kew, in the Gloucestershire list for Tetbury, meaning his fees were paid by his Sponser to the Gloucestershire notary.

John Driver Apprentice with Master Samuel Bubb learning the trade of Cooper, reference Kew Public Records Office IR 1 54 dated 14-Mar 1763

Thomas Smith and his wife Anne King baptised their 7th child and 3rd surviving son on 17221111 as Driver Smith. He married Mary Tranter on 17511110 as Driver Bartholomew, and on 17690815 he buried his daughter Elizabeth. He was buried 17800310 as Driver Smith alias Bartholomew. There is not enough evidence to say Elizabeth Driver was related to Thomas and Anne Batholomew/Smith nee King, or that Driver the child benefited from his unusual forename.

He said he was born in Great Copley in Wiltshire (I can not find this place in the Index I consulted) and has not obtained any legal settlement in his own right since his birth, by any means whatsoever. reference P328a OV 3/2/1 dated 15-Jul 1770
