| Notes |
- Memorial in St Thomas Church Portsmith:
"Here under resteth the body of Sir Charles Blount, one of her majesty's band of pensioners, third son of Sir Mitchel Blount, Knight, Lineally descended from Walter, First Lord Mountjoy.
"He was from his youth trained up in marshall affairs. He went over with the Earl of Leicester in the Low about the age of 15 years, where with such good circumspection he carried himself that for his valour he was highly commended, and from thence returning he was employed In the wars in Britain against the Spainward under the Conduction of General Norrisse,where he very valiantly behaved himself and was there taken prisoner and ransomed by his father. At the journey to Calais(or Cadiz?) he wnet with the Earl of Essex where for his good service he received the oroder of Knighthood. At the journey into the Islands he went likewise with the said Earl as colonel, and lastly he went over to Ireland with the said Earl, and was colonel Govenor of Cahir Castle.
But in his return home upon the sea he departed this life in his prime and flourishing years about the age of 32. As his life was pleasing to his friends so his death yielded comfort to those that were present, with the assured hope of his joyful resurrection he yielded up his sould to god that gave it and to the earth from whence he was made".
