One of the wounded was called "John Ridley's Man" indicating he was employed or maybe even enslaved to John Ridley.
Why do you think his name was not recorded?
Let's name him Howard and say he was Ridley's valet or right-hand man for dressing him, preparing his wardrobe and personal travels.
He has come to the market square on behalf of his lordship to report back how the event goes.
You can imagine local Lord Suchandsuch has much favour to gain from a successful recruitment campaign.
Wearing his trademark knickerbockers lacy shirt and cuffs with stockings pulled up to the knees, there was no mistaking who Howard worked for.
