• Notes

  "[H]e had, when he died, another wife, named Anne, with whom, from various evidences, he does not appear to have been on the best of terms. He was living at Waltham, and she at Kirton, in a distant part of Lincolnshire, and the only bequest he makes to her in his Will is of 'such goods and implements as she hath in my house at Kirton.'"
