?
......Blount apparently played no further part in national affairs, though he remained active in Sussex and was called a ‘good justice’ in the 1587 reports on the justices of the peace. In 1611 he was granted protection for a year to enable him to sell land to pay his creditors. He still retained Dedisham at his death on 30 Apr. 1628, but his son had predeceased him, and his daughters and coheirs sold the property on their mother’s death in 1630.3
Great grandson?
From 1547 the Blounts held Dedisham; Sir Richard Blount’s grandson, dying 1628, left four daughters his co-heiress - Mary (widow of Sir Lewis Lewknor), Martha (wife of Sir George Ayliff), Elizabeth (wife of Reginald Mohun), and Ann (wife of William Duke); By them it was sold in 1637 to Sir Richard Onslow.
