R. of Throcking, Herts., 1786-1830 [for 42 years (on the memorial tablet in Throcking church)]. How he managed to hold the two offices at the same time is a puzzle, but we presume he must have been allowed to employ a C.-in-charge at Throcking during the years he was in India (Jeffreys correspondence). Died at Throcking, Oct. 4, 1830. Father of Henry (1809), Charles (1818) and the next. (Cant. Act Bk.; Cussans, I. 153; G. Mag., 1830, II. 474.)
