| Notes |
- Long married secondly, Catherine, daughter of Sir John Thynne of Longleat . Long was the last of the family to own both manors of South Wraxall and Draycot together, and through the contrivances of his second wife Catherine, Sir Walter disinherited his son John from his first marriage, in favour of Walter, the eldest son from the second, but a compromise later led John to receive the estate at South Wraxall, and his half-brother received Draycot.
Another legend related by Aubrey, concerns a promise made by Catherine to her husband on his death-bed, that she would not remarry, but she soon afterwards married Sir Edward(or Hugh) Fox.
..."I have made inquiries from various sources, and find that Charles Fox of Bromfield purchased Gwernygoe in 1575, and devised it, in trust with other property, to his brother-in-law, Richard Leighton, for his son Edward, then an infant, and who was subsequently Sheriff of Montgomeryshire in 1617. Sir Edward Fox had three sons, Somerset Fox, 1 Thomas Fox, and Henry Fox, all born at Gwernygoe, between 1595 and 1606. His sons Henry and Thomas were married from Gwernygoe between 1620 and 3 (sic), the former to Anne, daughter of John Reynolds, and the latter to Jane, daughter of Arthur Pryce of Yaenor. Sir Edward Fox died at Gwernygoe about the end of 1627, and was, I have always understood, buried at Kerry, as were also his sons ...Sir Edward Fox,- Kt., of Cainhara and Gwernygoe, married four times. Sheriff of Montg., 1617. Buried at Kerry, March 8, 1628-9. He sold Cainham, and took up his residence at N Gwernygoe. Intestate, 1628-9, folio 8 1,1 7 March (Mont Coll., xxii, p. 250).
