Text source

The Scot James Korbett, resident in Cracow, was asked along with Peter Inglis (SSNE 5101), also dwelling in Cracow, to testify in 1626 that Walter Grym's (SSNE 5099) parents were Valentine Grim and Catherine Flesjer[probably Fletcher?]. He is possibly the same as James Korbet who paid 500 florins for King Charles II in 1651
