    • Notes 
      • William Thynne, Esq. the second son of Thomas Thynne, was appointed conjointly with his brother John to the office of Receiver General of the Earl of March's lands, to hold for their joint lives after the death or surrender of Sir Edward Croft, Knight, by a grant under the Privy Seal on the 6th of May, 1546.

        He married Margaret, daughter of John Ferber, Esq. and, dying without issue, was buried in Westminster Abbey, where a monument has been erected to his memory with the following inscription:
        "Memoriae Sacrum. Hie situs est Gulielmus Thynne, Armiger, Frater Johannis Thynne, Equitis Aurati, ex Antiqua Bottevilliorum Familia oriundus, Qui in adolescentia magnam Europa; Partem perlustravit, in praelio ad Muscelborrow eques cataphractus contra Scotos pugnavit et tandem rotate confectus placide in Domino obdormivit die xiru. Martii, 1584. Joannes Chamberlayn de Prestbury Armiger charissimo affini hoc monumentum posuit. Dies mortis asternsa Vitse Natalia est. Christus mihi vita, et mors milii lucrum. Ad Philip. Cap. I. F"
