Notes: [courtesy of Edward Beaumont , 25 July 2016]: Joseph Fawthrop, the apprentice mentioned in the will, was a business partner with a former apprentice of Andrew's, namely William Beaumont,in Narva, Estonia. The Christopher Fawthrop, from whom Andrew bought a house in Kingston upon Hull, must have been a relative of Joseph's. "William Beaumont's own will leaves a small legacy to Anne Doughty described as a servant to Andrew 'Parrott' during Beaumont's own apprenticeship to him, which was c.1682-1690." "William was christened at Darton in 1666 and was respectively nephew and elder brother of the merchants George and Jonathan. At the age of about sixteen he was apprenticed for eight years to Andrew Perrott of York, following directly in the footsteps of his first cousin Josias Wordsworth (Eastland Co Apprenticeship Register). Presumably it was Mr Perrott who sent William to Narva - on the very border of Peter the Great's Russia http://beaumontarchives.blogspot.co.uk/2016_07_01_archive.html
