Abraham Corsellis

Brewer. The preamble of Abraham Corsellis' will, written in ?1665, states: "Abraham Corsellis the elder of East Smithfeild in the Parish of Saint Buttolph without Algate in the County of Middlesex Brewer being sickly and weake in Body but of perfect mind and memory."

Will identifies:
- Sons: Charles and Abraham Corsellis [joint executors]; James Corsellis
- Daughters: Anne [?Bald(e)], widow of Abraham [?Bald(e)], late of London, merchant, first daughter of Abraham Corsellis; Mary Corsellis (second daughter); Elizabeth and Hester Corsellis (two youngest daughters)

Peter Descobeck

Peter Descobeck is identified in Abraham Corsellis will (?1665) as a servant of Corsellis and is given a legacy: ("unto Peter descobecke fforty shillings").

The same Peter Descobeck testified in the Admiralty Court case above, giving his age in 1656 as sixty-four years, and describing himself as a "Brewer's Clerk".

Descobeck stated:

In the yeare 1650 and more particularly in or about the moneth of May
or June of the said yeare (as hee remembreth the time) there was
delivered at and from the Brewhouse of the said Abraham Corsellis
(knowne by the name of the harts horne brewhouse3 scituat in
Eastsmithfeild) sixtie tonnes, one
hogshead and twenty nine gallons of beere and one last and a
halfe of barrells to and for the use and setting out of the

shipp the Salem arlate then lying in the River of Thames"[1]

Places


Brewery of Abraham Corsellis

John Hall, a copper of Eastsmithfeild in the parish of Saint Bottolph Algate, was deposed on November 6th 1656 in the case of Corsellis and Debenham against the Sara of Leith etc. Hall stated that in September 1650:

"there were certaine quantities
of beere to the quantitie of about sixty tonnes, and a last and a half of
barrells and about fourty five tonne of Caske (of which beere and barrells the
arlate Abraham Corsellis was commonly reputed the lawfull Owner
and Proprietor, and of which fourty five tonnes of caske the arlate Andrew
Debenham was commonly reputed the lawfull Owner and Proprietor) laden
on board the arlate shipp the Salem then rideing in the River of Thames
and within the Jurisdiction of this court for the use and accompt of the
arlate Samuell Atkins"[2]

Hall, the cooper, testified to this effect, since he had been employed by Andrew Debenham "to trimme and fitt the caske wherein the sayd beere was put".

Abraham Corsellis is listed under Saint Bittolphs Algate in teh 1666 Hearth Tax returns for Middlesex. It is unclear whether this is for his house or for the brewery, or whether the house and brewery were in fact combined:
