 and High Sheriff of that county in the reign of King Charles I. 

 He was bred to the law ; which, by certain note-books of 

 his which I have seen, he seemed to be studious in. He 

 married two wives. His former was Dorothy Hastings, 

 daughter of Edward Hastings, of the Abbey of Leicester 

 in Pratis : by whom he had no issue. His second was 

 Ann, the eldest daughter of Edward Lord Brabazon, of 

 Tamer s Court, near Dublin in Ireland ; who was the son 

 (if I err not) of Sir William Brabazon, Lord Chief Justice 

 of Ireland three times in six years, that is, from 1543 to 

 1549, in which year he died in the tents in Ulster, and was 

 buried in Trinity church in Dublin, and his heart carried 

 into England, to be buried there. This Lord Brabazon 

 had three sons ; his eldest was William Earl of Meath ; the 

 second, Wallop Brabazon, of Eaton in Herefordshire ; the 

 third, Sir Anthony Brabazon, of Ireland. His daughters 

 were six. The second was thrice married ; viz. to the Lord 

 Montgomery, Sergeant Brereton, and Sir John Bramston, 

 Lord Chief Justice of England. The third married to 

 Rigby, of Lancashire. The eldest, viz. Ann, was linked 

 to the said Samuel Aylmer, our Bishop s eldest son; by 

 whom he had divers children; viz. John, Edward, An 

 thony, Elizabeth, and Alice: from which John sprung
