1623 ROBERTS WM ATEE ELNR WILLESDEN MIDDLESEX
Sir William Roberts (1605-1662), of Neasden House at Willesden in Middlesex, was an English Member of Parliament.
He entered Gray's Inn in 1622, and was knighted in 1624. He had also augmented his estate by his marriage to Eleanor, daughter and heir of Robert Atye, with land in Hampstead and Kilburn. He retained his property after the Restoration, taking leases of the prebends when they reverted to the prebendaries, and leaving a significant fortune on his death.
His son William was made a baronet (in his father's lifetime), on 4 October 1661.
