== Research Notes ==Their ornate tombs are in the Chancel of the Church of St John the Baptist, but the dates of their deaths and burial inscribed there are at variance with the dates in the parish Burial Register. The inscription wrongly gives Samuel’s death as on 2nd September 1626 and Mercy’s burial as 20th January 1629.
