| Teitl | Indenture, copy only, citing the numerous dispositions made by the third Sir Richard B. regarding his lands and estates in Cheshire, Anglesey and elsewhere, more especially those arising from his second marriage with Dame Mary, daughter of the Lord Burgh, and proceeding to make a (new or additional or supplementary) marriage-settlement upon his eldest son of this marriage with Dame Anne Wilford, daughter of Sir Thomas Wilford of Yelding, co. Kent. |
| Disgrifiad | This cannot be the original settlement, for by the date of the present indenture two sons, Richard and Peter, had been born to Richard B. the younger and Dame Anne. It should be carefully noted that the distinct provision had been already made that in default of issue to Richard the younger, Richard his son, and the aforesaid Peter, the estate was to revert and remain in Thomas, [the second son of Sir Richard the elder]. This looked an unlikely contingency in 1609, but by March, 1639-1640, it had actually come to pass. Thomas succeeded to the estate, became first Viscount Bulkeley and the direct ancestor of a long line of Viscounts Cashell in the 17th and 18th centuries |
