Note: Sir Anthony Aucher was one of the agents of King Henry VIII in the suppression of the monasteries. He held a number of important offices, including master of the Jewel House of the Tower of London.

In 1558 he was Governor of Guisnes and Master of Calais, commanding its defense in the siege that resulted in its capture on Jan 7 1558. He died of wounds received there two days later.

He and his wife are buried at Bishopsbourne in County Kent, where their inscription is still to be seen.

Note: Sir Thomas Wroth studied at St. John's College, Cambridge, but did not take a degree there, and at Gray's Inn. He became a ward of the King upon the death of his father in 1536 and the king gave the wardship to Thomas Cromwell, the Lord Chancellor. In 1539 Sir Richard Rich (No.453038) paid Cromwell three hundred marks for the right of disposing of Wroth in marriage and promptly betrothed him to his daughter Mary.

The following year Wroth was granted livery of his lands and, in addition, Sir Richard Rich secured for him several manors and lands that had belonged to the by-then-fallen Cromwell and to the dissolved monasteries.

On Dec 18 1544 Wroth was elected to Parliament as one of the knights of the shire for Middlesex and the following year was named gentleman of the chamber to Edward, Prince of Wales. He retained that post throughout Edward VI's brief reign and was a particular favorite of the boy king. Indeed it is traditional that Edward VI, wracked by tuberculosis, was in Sir Thomas's arms when he died on Jul 6 1553.

He most likely represented Middlesex in the Parliament of 1547-1552, but the returns for that Parliament have been lost. After the fall of Somerset, the Lord Protector, Wroth was appointed one of the four principal gentlemen of the Privy Chamber. In 1551 he was granted additional manors and the following year was named Lord Lieutenant of Middlesex, jointly with Paget.

He signed the King's letters patent limiting the crown to Lady Jane Grey, but took no part in Northumberland's insurrection to achieve that end. Committed to the Tower on Jul 27 1553 after the collapse of the attempt, he was soon released. When his arrest seemed imminent after the second rebellion of the Duke of Suffolk, he fled to the continent, but obtained a license to do so, doubtless through the efforts of his father-in-law. He remained abroad until the accession of Queen Elizabeth I in 1558. He sat on numerous commissions during the early part of her reign and sat for Middlesex in the Parliament of 1562-3.

Note: Sir George Barne was a member of the Haberdasher's Guild and obviously a very successful one. He served as Sheriff of London in 1545-46, and as Lord Mayor of London in 1552. He was knighted at Whitehall on Apr 11 1553.

Barne actively invested in foreign expeditions, and is said to have been the first merchant adventurer (which is to say investor) of expeditions to Barbary, Russia, and Genoa. He was an incorporator of the first organized English company for discovery in 1551 and was the "principal doer" in mounting Sir Hugh Willoughby's expedition to find the North East Passage in 1553. He was also one of the first four Consuls of the Merchant Adventurers on Feb 6 1553.

The Reverend Nicholas Ridley, Protestant reformer and Bishop of London under King Edward VI, mentioned Sir George Barne very favorably in his farewell letter of Oct 5 1555, written the day before he was martyred at the stake by Queen Mary.
