which has given me thought whether the Bishop's father was not 

 descended from the family of the Herberts of Oxfordshire, who 

 are said to be descended from the same family of the Herberts 

 as the Earls of Pembroke, but prior to the honour. He likewise 

 left his son a considerable sum of money, but of what certain 

 value his lands and personal estate were I never heard. Anno 

 Dom. 1567, this Bishop married Anne, the daughter of Dr. 

 William Bradbridge, alias Barloe, a Bishop* (which Bishop 

 Barloe had five daughters, who married five Bishops.) He 

 (VVestfaling) had issue one son, Herbert, born the 4th of 

 February, 1572,f and four daughters, viz. : Anne, Margaret, 

 Elizabeth, and Frances. Anne married Jefferys, an ancient 

 family of Hom Castle, in the county of Worcester, a family 

 very flourishing at this day — the present Henry Jefferys a person 

 of great learning and other qualifications to be equalled by few 

 gentleman in England. Margaret married Dr. Edes, Dean of 

 Worcester, who died and left her a rich widow, worth, in money 



and lands, ten thousand pounds — afterwards she married 



Littleton, of the county of Worcester, by whom she had issue. 



Elizabeth married Walwyn, of Newland, in the same 



county — afterwards she married Dickens, of Leaton, county 



Stafford, and had issue b}^ both, from whom Mr. Dickens, a 

 drysalter, by London Bridge, a very rich man, is descended. 



Frances married Jenks, of Newhall, county Salop, and had 



issue. He died March lOlh, 1601, and was buried in Hereford 

 Cathedral Church, in the north side, where his monument is 

 erected. Herbert the son was bred up a good scholar at the 

 University of Oxford. He had the character of a virtuous, 

 ingenious man, began to enter the world supported by a plentiful 

 estate and a sum of money besides his wife's fortune. Given to 

 no vice as ever I heard of, except sinning against his posterity 

 by consuming a considerable part of his estate, which would 

 otherwise have descended to them, by turning his ingenuity to 

 fanciful projects, which were attended with much loss and no 

 profit to him. He was unhappy in his economy, never con- 

 tinuing long with his family in any one place, but very often 

 removing, verified to his posterity the proverb, that " the rolling 

 stone does not gather moss" — for he sold his estates in the 

 counties of York, Oxford, Worcester, and in London, and left 

 to his eldest posterity only the lordship of Mansell and leases 

 for lives in Hampshire. In his time was the civil war. He was 

 on the King's side. He lived to be fourscore years of age or 

 upwards. He died about 800/. in debt at Hampton, and was 

 buried at Mansell Church. He married Frances, the daughter 

 of William Rudhall, of Rudhall, Esq. This family of the 



• First of St. Asaph, then of St. David's, and last of Bath and Wells. 

 t The portrait at Goodrich Court calls him 3G in 1609, which would make him a 

 year older.
