18TH CENTURY PERFORMANCE BOND: PARRAT, MIRIAM (MARY); PARRAT, ROBERT .

Performance Bond: Folded paper document: Mariam (Mary) Parrat of Broadwater Sussex and Robert Parrat, West Hanning, Suffolk, Farmer.

4th August, 1717. 0. Performance Bond: Folded paper document: Mariam (Mary) Parrat of Broadwater Sussex and Robert Parrat, West Hanning, Suffolk, Farmer.. 4th August 1717 . Hand written in Latin and English. Remains of red wax seal, a few edge tears and one small hole. ** "A performance bond is a surety bond issued by an insurance company or a bank to guarantee satisfactory completion of a project by a contractor. A job requiring a payment & performance bond will usually require a bid bond, to bid for the job. When the job is awarded to the winning bid, a payment and performance bond will then be required as a security to the job completion. For example, a contractor may cause a performance bond to be issued in favor of a client for whom the contractor is constructing a building. If the contractor fails to construct the building according to the specifications laid out by the contract (most often due to the bankruptcy of the contractor), the client is guaranteed compensation for any monetary loss up to the amount of the performance bond. Performance bonds are commonly used in the construction and development of real property, where an owner or investor may require the developer to assure that contractors or project managers procure such bonds in order to guarantee that the value of the work will not be lost in the case of an unfortunate event (such as insolvency of the contractor). In other cases, a performance bond may be requested to be issued in other large contracts besides civil construction projects. The term is also used to denote a collateral deposit of "good faith money", intended to secure a futures contract, commonly known as margin. Performance bonds are generally issued as part of a 'Performance and Payment Bond', where a Payment Bond guarantees that the contractor will pay the labour and material costs they are obliged to. Under the Miller Act of 1932, all Construction Contracts issued by the Federal Government must be backed by Performance and Payment Bonds. States have enacted what is referred to as “Little Miller Act” statutes requiring Performance and Payment bonds on State Funded projects as well. Performance bonds have been around since 2,750 BC and the Romans developed laws of surety around 150 AD, the principles of which still exist." - See Wikipedia .

Born in Canterbury, Ford was the eldest son of the Rev. James Ford, B.A, minor canon of Durham, and afterwards minor canon of Canterbury. He entered the King's School, Canterbury, in 1788, matriculated at Trinity College, Oxford on 8 July 1797 and became fellow of his college on 2 June 1807. He graduated B.A. 1801. M.A. 1804, B.D. 1812, and in 1811 was junior proctor of the university. He held the perpetual curacies of St. Lawrence, Ipswich, and of Hill Farrance, Somerset. He was subsequently presented (28 October 1830) to the vicarage of Navestock in Essex, and died on 31 January 1850. His quaint directions for a funeral of great simplicity were carried out when he was buried in Navestock churchyard. There is a monument to him in Navestock Church, and a portrait of him in the common room of Trinity College, Oxford. On 19 November 1830 Ford married Laetitia Jermyn, the author of The Butterfly Collector's Vade Mecum. They had no children. Ford bequeathed £2,000 to the Oxford University for the endowment of the Ford's Professorship of English History, and £4,000 to Trinity College, Oxford for the purchase of advowsons, and £4,000 for the endowment of four Ford's Studentships, two of which were to be confined to youths educated at King's School, Canterbury. Ford was a collector and compiler on antiquarian subjects. His large collection for a new edition of Philip Morant's History of Essex is in the library of Trinity College, Oxford, and his manuscript collections for a history of bishops from the Revolution onwards were purchased by the British Museum. He was also a contributor to the Gentleman's Magazine and to Nichols's Illustrations of the Literary History of the Eighteenth Century vols. vi. and viii, and was the author of The Devout Communicant (1815), and A Century of Christian Prayers (2nd ed. Ipswich, 1824). A collection of portraits, drawings, landscapes and illustrations collected by Ford is held by the Suffolk Record Office." - See Wikipedia . **** John Raw (1771-1855) was born at Bolton castle cum Redmire, Yorkshire on 28 March 1771, son of John and Isabella Raw, formerly of reeth Yorkshire. In 1801 he married Margaret, widow of George Jermyn (Bookseller, binder, printer and stationer) and carried on her business in the Old Butter Market. John Glyde in 'Suffolk Worthies No. 62' "that grubby bookseller" and "ran" St. Lawrebce church as churchwarden whilst his step-daughter Laetitia Jermyn [Ford] managed the choir and was the organist.." - See Ipswich Book Trades by Tony Copsey (2011).
