"For reasons which are not clear, DANIEL G DOBYNS did not stay with the Draper's Company. There is an entry in the records at the Haberdasher's Company, London, (fn 34) stating that DANIEL DOBBINS was given freedom of the company "per HUGH HAMERSLEY Alde" about 26 June 1626. In later years, DANIEL DOBBINS of Worcestershire was listed as a liveryman of the Haberdasher's Company in the Poll Tax list of 1641. (fn 35) In later life, DANIEL DOBYNS called himself a haberdasher." (http://www.myoutbox.net/ddcv01.htm)
