page 121 note a In Thorpe church is a brass with curious inscriptions to William Denham, citizen and goldsmith, who died in 1583, aged 64 (engraved in Brayley's History of Surrey, ii. 252): possibly the grandfather of the poet.
page 121 note b Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Hare of Stowe Bardolph in Norfolk, Bart, was married first to Wolley Leigh, esq, and afterwards became the second wife of Sir John Lowther of Lowther, Bart, grandfather (by his former marriage) of the first Viscount Lonsdale. See the pedigree of Leigh in the History of Surrey, by Manning and Bray, vol. iii. p. 248.
page 122 note a Sir John Denham's wishes were not carried into effect: for William Morley died unmarried in 1693, John hia elder (and only) brother having died before him in 1683. On the death of their father Sir William in 1701, their sister Mary became his heir. She was married to James tenth Earl of Derby, and died without surviving issue in 1782, aged eighty-four, and left her estates to her cousin Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, Bart. See the pedigree of Morley in Dallaway's Rape of Chichester, and in Berry's Sussex Genealogies.
