Description
Excerpt from Lincolnshire Wills: Second Series A. D. 1600-1617; With Notes and an Introductory Sketch
The foregoing list of families, which is by no means a complete one, will help the reader to understand how extinct and decayed families at the beginning of the 17 th century were replaced. I turn now to another source which is, perhaps, more interesting, in some respects, to study.
I have spoken of the enrichment of the yeomanry, the purchase of landed property by mercantile families, and the plunder of the monasteries poured into a few favoured individuals, as furnishing another source from whence the ranks of the county families were recruited. Let us now take note of some remarkable instances.
