• Notes

  "When he was a young man he removed thirty miles westward from his ancestral region of Mid-Sussex and settled in Chichester. In this city he probably secured in trade the mneans which enabled him to acquire numerous pieces of property (some of which formerly belonged to monasteries dissolved by Henry VIII), and to raise his branch of the family into the armigerous gentry, with its pedigree and arms entered in the Heralds' Visitations, while the branches in Mid-Sussex remained among the yeomanry."
