friend, and servant to his Prince. He left in the care of my lady his
widow, five sons and five daughters. His eldest son succeeded him in
his lands and office, and after the restoration of the King, he was
made Lord Viscount of Dromore in Ireland; he did engage his person and

ruined his estate, and was the cause of his sons selling Ware Park;
afterwards he tried, by the King's assistance, to be reimbursed, but

age when he died, and is buried with his ancestors in Ware Church.

He married first the daughter of Sir Giles Allington, by whom he hath

sons and five daughters.

was a handsome gentleman, of an excellent understanding, and great

John Evelyn, widow to Sir John Wrey, of Lincolnshire; by this wife he
had several children, of which only two survived him, Thomas, now Lord
Viscount Fanshawe, and Katherine. His widow is lately married unto my
Lord Castleton, of Senbeck, in Yorkshire. He lies buried with his
