Richard's second wife was Dorothy [Theobald?]. His first wife was buried at Barwick. Richard's burial is not recorded in Barwick parish records, but there is a gap in the records during the period of his death.
Who is Draper Miller (wife Ursula) and brothers Hugh & Edward?
Richard named Giles Phelpes gent. as one of his overseers. Is he Giles Phelpes, son of the Giles Phelips & Jane Keylway, d/o of Henry K. who inherited Lillington? The elder Giles Phelpes was buried at Barwick; the younger Giles was christened there.
One must wonder why Brother Robert and Walter Ridott "renounced" administration of Richard's will.
