"Pedigree of Sir John James, Founder of the Fund for Pennsylvania Missions.
Roger James, of the parish of Allhallows, Barking. London, Brewer, was of Dutch parentage, being son of, or descended from Jacob Van Haestrecht, who was of Cleve, near Utrecht. Coming to England in the latter part of the reign of King Henry the 8th, he obtained letters of denization, and (probably to avoid the animosity which at that period prevailed in London against foreigners) he seems to have dropped the family name of Haestrecht, and to have called himself Roger James, taking his father's Christian name as a surname for himself.
His brewery was, I believe, in Lower Thames Street, then called Petty Wales, and he may possibly have taken the idea of adopting his father's Christian name as a surname, from the custom of his Welsh neighbors. He died in 1591, and buried at Allhallows, Barking, London, in the chancel of which church there is still remaining a brass with his effigy, and the following inscription:

2. Jack Cade's Rebellion of 1450: A Database of Names of those Receiving Pardons, taken from Calendar of Patent Rolls Henry VI 5 (1909) pp. 338-374 accessed from https://familysearch.org. This spreadsheet of about 3449 persons was created by Merton Historical Society in September 2014, and is accessible at http://www.mertonhistoricalsociety.org.uk/index.php?cat=morden&sec=!rebels
For more detail on this listing and the event see http://www.kentarchaeology.org.uk/Research/Pub/ArchCant/007%20-%201868/007-03.pdf
No one listed with the following surnames (or variations thereof): Acock/Alcock, Barret, Chepfield, Dancy, Dennet, Gateland, Hadwin, Hales, Herbert, Hopper, James, Kitney, Marden, Mills, Morskin, Shelly, Sisley, Straine, Upton, and Vande Wall.
3. The following extraction was made from the "Index to the Kent Lay Subsidy Roll of 1334/5," by H.A. Hanley, B.A. and C.W. Chalklin, M.A., B. Litt <http://www.kentarchaeology.org.uk/Research/Pub/KRV/18/7/313.htm> accessed 11 Feb 2016. From this index, the actual entries are found in "The Kent Lay Subsidy Roll of 1334/5," by the same authors <http://www.kentarchaeology.org.uk/Research/Pub/KRV/18/3/058-172.htm> accessed 12 Feb 2016. The second document more fully explains the history of this Lay Subsity. This was a tax assessed on householders; however, it probably only represents about 50% of the householders since the poorer families were not assessed:
No mentions were found for family surnames Acock/Alcock, Barret, Chepfield, Dancy, Dennett, Eagles, Gateland, Hadwin, Hales, Mills, Morskin, Shelley, Sisley, Strain, Vande Wall, Worme.
