| Notes |
- He died 7 Nov. 1615. His long will is largely concerned with the difficulty he had found in administering the estates of his relatives Sir Bernard and Walter Leveson . He complained that he had been forced to compound with the Crown for half the goods, worth over £40,000, ‘pretended to be taken at sea out of a carrack’ captured by Richard Leveson ‘and not accounted for’. Still, he left £200 a year to his widow, £3,000 each to the coheirs, the two infant daughters of his deceased son John, and considerable charitable bequests, including £20 to the poor of Halling and other Kent parishes, with £5 to those of Lilleshall in Shropshire. (Sir) Francis Fane was an executor, and the overseers included Leveson’s son-in-law Sir Richard Newport †.7
