Ii6 The Life of William, Duke of Newcastle 



Plis elder son Charles, Viscount of Mansfield, married the 

 eldest daughter and heir of Mr. Richard Rogers, by whom 

 he had but one daughter, who died soon after her birth ; and 

 he died also without any other issue. 1 



His second son Henry, now Earl of Ogle, married Francis 

 the eldest daughter of Mr. William Pierrepont, by whom 

 he hath had three sons and four daughters. Two sons were 

 born before their natural time ; the third, Henry, Lord Mans- 

 field, is alive ; the four daughters are, the Lady Elizabeth, 

 Lady Frances, Lady Margaret, and Lady Catherine. 2 



My Lord's three daughters were thus married. The eldest, 

 Lady Jane, married Charles Cheiney, Esq., descended of a 

 very noble and ancient family ; by whom she hath one son 

 and two daughters. The second, Lady Elizabeth, married 

 John, now Earl of Bridgwater, then Lord Brackley, and 

 eldest son to John, then Earl of Bridgwater ; who died in 

 childbed, and left five sons and one daughter, whereof the 

 eldest son John, Lord Brackley,. married the Lady Elizabeth, 

 only daughter and child to James, then Earl of Middlesex. 



My Lord's third daughter, the Lady Frances, married Oliver, 

 Earl of Bullingbrook, and hath had no child yet. 3 

 ( After the death of my Lord's first wife, who died the 17th 

 of April in the year 1643, he married me, Margaret, daughter 

 to Thomas Lucas of St. John's, near Colchester, in Essex, 

 Esq., but hath no issue by me. 



And this is the posterity of the three sons of Sir William 

 Cavendish, my Lord's grandfather by his father's side. The 

 three daughters were disposed of as followeth : 



t Charles, Viscount Mansfield, died in 1659. On June 15, 1659, Nicholas writes to 

 Newcastle condoling with him on his recent loss (Calendar of Domestic State Papers, 

 1659, p. 374). His widow married Charles Stuart, Duke of Richmond. On the Rogers 

 family, see Clarendon, Rebellion, vii, 95, and Christie's Lif-e of Shaftesbury, vol. i, Ap- 

 pendix, pp. xiii, xxi. 



2 This Henry, Earl of Ogle, succeeded to the title of Duke of Newcastle on his father's 

 death in 1676, and died on July 26, 1691. The Second Report of the Royal Commission 

 on Historical MSS. gives abstracts of some of his letters now in the possession of Earl 

 Spencer (p. 17). Others are printed in vol. ii of the Portland MSS. His son Henry, 

 Lord Mansfield, died in 1680. The Duke by his will settled all his real estate on his 

 third daughter Margaret and her heirs, who married John Holies, Earl of Clare, created 

 Duke of Newcastle in 1694. Collins' Historical Collections, pp. 47-179. 



3 These ladies were left in England when their father retired to the Continent after 

 the battle of Marston Moor ; they were in Welbeck when it surrendered to the Earl, of 

 Manchester. (Manchester's Quarrel with Cromwell, Camden Society, p. 6). Lady Jane 

 and Lady Frances wrote to Lord Fairfax on April 17, 1645, thanking him for his favour 

 and protection (Fairfax Correspondence, iii, 194). There is in Davenant's works (p. 

 291) a short poem on the marriage of Lady Jane. Lady Elizabeth's marriage, which 

 has been before referred to (p. 74), took place in 1639. Lord Brackley performed the 

 elder brother in Milton's Counts.
