Rheumatic born near ?????

[Beans]

Hi, Can anyone tell me, or have a guess, where my Barnes Boote was born near?
 I guessed India but "born near India" doesn't make sense.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
I have enclosed the original (PDF). Barnes Boot is the penultimate entry of the first block.
I can read:
Barnes Boote, Age 45, 23 years of Service, Rheumatic, Born near Lab
Also what could the word in the margin at the very right of his entry mean?
Thanks in advance

I think it begins with a faded S...Sussex?
Carol

I think it ends ...ter.

I think it ends ...ter.

I agree with ...ter.  There seems to be a high dot preceding it - suggesting an i.

possibly Leicter (mis-spelling of Leicester)

Philip

Could it be Lincoln - think I can see 'ln' at end  though it does seem to begin with 'S'. I don't think there are any letters missing as the writer always seems to raise the letter(s) to indicate an abbreviation (see D^o for Dover, Lab^r for labourer}. There are a lot of Scottish places of birth in the list....

ADDED: posting snippet

ADDED later: There is a Finlay further up the list, first  letter of place name looks similar to the 'F'? Or even a 'T' as in 'Tho^s'

Thanks folks for this information. Hmm Leicester, Lincoln - I can see why you suggest it but I'm not sure. I agree with Josey that the first letter could by a capital F - but that doesn't help me any further either.
If it wasn't India I had two theories. as of 1751 I have him in London and had hoped that the name was somewhere in London. Or else in 1751 he married and his occupation was given as being in the 1st Regiment of Foot. From what I have read this seems to have been a Scotish Regiment so perhaps he was born up north ?
Does anyone have an idea what that word in the margin after his entry could mean?
I will continue looking at the document and maybe the town of birth will jump out at me.

the "at" in rheumatic seems to be identical to the that in the town name. I also agree it Looks like "ter" at the end so at the Moment I'm left with F..ater"

Does anyone have an idea what that word in the margin after his entry could mean?

It appears to include the word ...Reserves.

@ Bookbox. Reserve?? to me it Looks like a Glief...... but what do I know.

[Bookbox]

My thoughts were that the G belongs to the preceding Do(?), as it also appears in the lines above (whatever it may mean).

Then I see a capital R, where you are seeing li. What you are seeing as f, I thought might be a long s. That said, I can't see any other examples of long s here, so maybe I'm wrong.

ADDED - if it's f, as you suggest, maybe it's Referred (or similar)?

We all see these things differently
