專家說明

Abraham Keene was apprenticed to the Worshipful Company of Leathersellers in 1666. He became free in 1673. The Coachmakers’ and Coach Harness Makers’ Company received their charter in 1677 and Keene presumably joined the newly formed company. He took on apprentices in 1687 and 1692 and was made a Liveryman of the company in 1703. He married twice. A memorial stone to his first wife Mary (d.1696), daughter of John Living of Ruislip, can be found in St. Martin’s Church (D. Lysons, An Historical Account of those Parishes in the County of Middlesex, London, 1800, p. 213). The memorial also records his death in 1720 and that of his son, also Abraham, in 1732.
