MEMOIR OF WALTON. civ 



NOTE L. 



The following is a full abstract of the will of "Samuel Walton, of St 

 Mary's Cray, in Kent, gentleman," dated on the 2nd of April 1631, and 

 proved at Doctors' Commons on the 9th of the same month. He be- 

 queathed to his uncle John Walton, of Mathfield, in the county of Stafford, 

 yeoman, an annuity of five pounds ; to his brother-in-law, Henry King, of 

 Foster Lane, London, gentleman, and John King, of Fleet Street, London, 

 gentleman ; to his sister-in-law, Elizabeth Long, of Bury St Edmunds ; to 

 his " kinsman," George Rowell, citizen and upholder of London; to his 

 cousin, Anne Brookhouse, of Bubton in the county of Derby, sister of the 

 said George Rowell, and wife of Robert Brookhouse, husbandman ; to his 

 cousin, Thomas Kerobyn, of Burton, in the county of Stafford, chirurgeon ; 

 to his cousin Anne Aldridge, sister of the said Thomas Kerobyn, and 

 wife of Robert Aldridge, gentleman, of Burton, a gift of thirty shillings 

 each : to his cousin and late servant, William Walton, of Bromley, in 

 Kent, yeoman, a house and garden in Bromley, which was purchased by 

 the testator's late father, Henry Walton, citizen and clothworker, of 

 London : to his cousin, Margaret Burrows, of Ashbourn, in the county of 

 Derby, widow, and to his cousin, Matthew Andrews, of Mathfield, a gift 

 of thirty shillings each ; to Elizabeth Chatfield, of Bermondsey Street, in 

 Southwark, wife of William Chatfield, twenty shillings ; to his tenant, 

 Ellen Hobson, of Bromley, widow, thirty shillings ; and he appointed his 

 cousin, Henry Walton, of Whitechapel, citizen and haberdasher, his 

 residuary legatee and sole executor. 



The other reasons for supposing that Izaak Walton was apprenticed to 

 Henry Walton of Whitechapel, besides those already mentioned, are his 

 friendship with the family of King ; his having become connected with 

 the county of Kent, in which Samuel Walton resided and had property ; 

 and his having called two of his children by the baptismal name of Henry, 

 a mark of respect which he is very likely to have shown to his master and 

 kinsman.
