1640, Jan.

23, crossing Humber in a Barrow boat, the same was sandwarpt, and he was drowned therein (with Mrs.Skinner, daughter to Sir Edward Coke, a very religious gentlewoman) by the carelessness, not to say drunkenness of the boatmen, to the great grief of all good men.

His excellent comment upon St.Peter is daily desired and expected, if the envy and covetousness of private persons _for their own use_ deprive not the public of the benefit thereof."[6:1] This good man, to whom perhaps, remembering the date of his death, the words may apply, _Tu vero felix non vitae tantum claritate sed etiam opportunitate mortis_, was married at Cherry Burton, on the 22nd of October 1612, to Anne Pease, a member of a family destined to become widely known throughout the north of England.

Of this marriage there were five children, all born at Winestead, viz.

three daughters, Anne, Mary, and Elizabeth, and two sons, Andrew and John, the latter of whom died a year after his birth, and was buried at Winestead on the 20th September 1624.
The three daughters married respectively James Blaydes of Sutton, Yorkshire, on the 29th of December 1633; Edmund Popple, afterwards Sheriff of Hull, on the 18th of August 1636; and Robert More.
