| Thomas Percy:
44 years old. He received James I's promise of toleration-later to be broken.
He was a Catholic with court contacts through his cousin, the Earl of Northumberland.
Northumberland used Thomas Percy as a messenger to assist James I in his
communications with the court in London prior to the death of Elizabeth
I. He was described as: "a tall gent". Thomas Percy attended Peterhouse,
Cambridge from 1579 and may have gone to the Azores with George Clifford
in 1589. From 1595 he served as estate officer for Northumberland. A fervent
Catholic Percy hated Scots and all things Scottish. He was experienced
in violent political actions in and around the wild border areas of the
Western March. Percy was married to John(Jack) and Christopher (Kit) Wright's
sister. Because of his court contacts, it is he that rents house for tunnel.
