Petition of the Watermen for the King 18th July 1648 (Scroll)
John Welbeloved
The Petition is to be found in the archives of the House of Lords, under reference number HL/PO/JO/10/2/11. In total there are 2,026 names on it. Some however are listed more than once. It is not a petition in the sense that we understand the term today. This is because it is not a document signed by the individual watermen but rather a list compiled, probably at the instigation of the royal watermen. It is unclear whether the list represents the totality of the watermen of that time.
