    • Notes 
      • A History of Parliament Online:
        "As the heir to considerable estates, Brocas became involved in a number of disputes, and after his father’s death had to invoke the help of the Privy Council. His maternal inheritance led, in 1602, to a suit in the court of requests between him and his grandfather’s widow, Dame Eleanor, who had by then twice re-married, and was in possession of the Pexall family seat at Beaurepaire. It was only after her death in 1618, following her fourth marriage, that Brocas’s son moved to Beaurepaire from Steventon, which had served as the Brocas country residence in the meantime... Brocas made his will 5 and died 13 Aug. 1630, asking for a ‘decent burial according to my place’. A son and a daughter are mentioned."


        Sir Richard Pexall (fn. 20)"of Beaureper, Steventon Manor, Fleet Street, London, and Swarkliffe Manor in Middlesex, Knight" made a will on the 9th of October, 1571, which was proved on the 8th of November following.(fn.21) He was, like his father, twice married, his first wife being Lady Eleanor Paulet, daughter of the first Marquess of Winchester,and by her he had four daughters. His second wife was Eleanor,daughter of John Cotgrave of Chester.

        Sir Richard Pexall's daughters were all married: Anne to Bernard Brocas of Horton, co. Bucks; Margery to Oliver Beckett and then to Francis Cotton; Elizabeth (fn.22) to John Jobson; and Barbara to Anthony Brydges. Margery, who left an heir, John Beckett, had apparently lived at Swakeleys with her second husband, in her father's lifetime, for we read in the Ickenham parish registers under the year 1554: "Barbara the dowghter of John [sic] Cawghton [Cotton] off Swakeleys Place and Margery hys wyff was crystenyde the muday before our Lady day thassupconbeying the 13 day off Auguste. The godfather Mr. Say,(fn.23) the godmothers Barbara the wife of Mr. Redyng [?Brydges] and Helyn the wyf of Mr. Edmude Shordyche."
