notes:
Stiles discusses his researches into the question of which whether one of the three judges (probably Goff or Whalley) changed his name to Theophilus Whale and lived out his life in Rhode Island.Three of the judges who helped convict and sentence Charles I of England to death hid in various locations near New Haven, Connecticut, in order to evade their pursuers. A warrant for the apprehension of William Goff, Edward Whalley, and John Dixwell was sent to Boston by Charles II. In order to escape retribution after the Restoration, they had fled to America and taken on new identities in Connecticut and Massachusetts where they were protected by anti-royalist citizens.Evans states that no plate 7 was ever created. Plates III, VIII and IX engraved by Amos Doolittle; frontispiece portrait of Stiles engraved by Doolittle after a painting by Reuben Moulthrop.
