2 IZAAK WALTON AND HIS FRIENDS 



and who died in 1614, and this seems highly- 

 probable.^ 



Walton married twice. His first wife, to 

 whom he was married at St Mildred's Church, 

 Canterbury, on the 27th of December 1626, she 

 being then aged nineteen, was Rachel, daughter 

 of William and Susanna Floud, of Chevening, 

 Kent, and she was maternally descended from 

 Archdeacon Cranmer, brother of the Arch- 

 bishop.^ Rachel Walton died on the 22nd of 

 August 1640, and was buried at St Dunstan's in 

 the West, Fleet Street, London. There was issue 

 of this marriage seven children, all of whom died 

 young. 



Walton married as his second wife, in 1646, 

 Anne, daughter of Thomas Ken, an attorney, and 

 half-sister to Dr Ken, Bishop of Bath and Wells, 

 the most remarkable man among the non-juring 

 prelates. Anne Walton died on the 17th of April 

 1662, and as she was buried in the Cathedral of 

 Worcester, it is generally supposed that her death 

 occurred while on a visit with her husband to 

 George Morley, who was then Bishop of Worcester, 



1 Casaubon was also a friend of Sir Henry Wotton, We find 

 Wotton, writing in 1593 to Lord Zoucii, saying : " I am placed to my 

 very great contentment, in the house of Mr Isaac Casaubon, a person 

 of sober condition among the French."

 grey), or Lloyd into the English forms Floud, Floyd, etc., and as to 

 Cranmer's pedigree, see The. Perverse Widows or, Memorials of t/ie 

 Boevey Family (Longmans & Co., 1898).
