that the residue of the profit which shall or may accrue, or of 
right to accrue, or come to me out of the said allum mines and 
works, shall be divided amongst the children which I had by 
Dame Judith, my late wife, at the discretion of my executors. 
Item: Whereas my daughter, Dame Mary Fisher, hath not as yet 
had any portion from me, my mind is, that out of the said allum 
mines and works which are to be divided amongst my children 
by my said late wife, she shall have the dower of £1200 of lawful 
English money, by £300 per annum. 
His death took place this year, and he was buried in Chiswick 
Church, where a very handsome monument exists to his memory, 
simply recording the leading facts of his life, upon all of which I 
have sufficiently dwelt, excepting that his second wife predeceased 
him, she having died on June the 31st, whilst he only survived to 
the 18th of November, 1615. 
Four of Sir Thomas Chaloner’s sons, all by his first wife, 
Elizabeth Fleetwood, rose to eminence, and their political opinions
