Amen." Anthony Pound was born in 1502, and inherited the manors of Drayton and Lym- borne, and a fourth part of the manor of Stenbury, in the Isle of Wight, on the death of his father in 1525. He married Anne, •daughter of Lewis Wingfield (described in 1513 as " of South werk, Surrey," and " Comp- troller to Richard, Bishop of Winchester"), and sister of Sir llichard Wingfield, sometime Governor of Portsmouth, by whom he had several children. The eldest son Richard married Elizabeth, daughter of William Wayte, of Wymering; ho was aged twenty at the death of his father, but died without issue, two sisters only surviving him, viz., Alary, who married her cousin Edward White, of South wick (their granddaughter Honora White became the wife of Sir Daniel Norton, and carried the Southwick estates into the Norton family); and Honora Pound, who married in February, 1548/9 (' Lond. Mar. Lie.,' Foster), Henry Ratcliffe, afterwards Governor of Portsmouth, fourth Earl of Sussex, and K.G. Anthony Pound died in 1547; there is a brass in Farlington Church with the Pound arms, as above, and inscribed:— " Of yonr charyte pray for ye soule of Antony Pounde of Drayton in the countie of South' Esquyer whiche decesayd the xix day of February in the yeare of our Lorde God MCCCCCXLVII on whose soule Crist have mercy." In his will (P.C.C. 35 Alen) he leaves marriage portions to his two unmarried daughters, and appoints his wife Anne sole executrix, and his brother-in-law Sir Richard Wingfield overseer. His widow Anne married secondly the before - mentioned John White. Her memorial brass is in Southwick Church, inscribed as follows :— " Off your charite pray for the soule of Anne Whyte, late the wyff of John Whyte of Southwyke Esquyer Bomtyme the wyff of Antony Pounde of Drayton Eaquyer and one of the daughters of Lewes Winjffield Esquyer whyeh Anne departed the world the xxni day of November Ao Dni 1557 on whose soule Crist have mercy." William Pound, of Beamond, married Ellen Wriothesley, by whom he had eleven children, the eldest son Thomas being the subject of ME. WAINEWRIGHT'S article, and the second surviving son John probably the Rev. John Pounde who was imprisoned in the Clink in 1583. The manor of Farlington, before the dissolution of the monasteries, formed part of the possessions of Southwick Priory. By letters patent bearing date 29 June, 32 Henry VIII. (1540), the king granted the manor, "with its rights and royalties, as well as the advowson of the rectory, to William Pownde, Esquire, and Eleanor his wife, and their heirs" ('Hamp. Repos.,' 1800, p. 221). William Pound died in February, 1559, and his wife Ellen on 30 September, 1589. In her will (P.C.C. 75 Leicester) she refers to her sister, the Lady Anne Lawrence ; to her sons Thomas, John, and Henry, and to her daughter Anne Breton. She desires her son Thomas to bring up his brother Richard Pound's two children, Henry and William ; to Anne Breton and her daughter Elizabeth she bequeaths land, &c., " in Aderton in the Isle of Wight, which I had by gift of Mrs. Ed- borowe Upton, deceased, my mother-in-law. A pedigree of the family was entered in the Visitation of Hampshire in 1634, but only four children of William and " Ellenor " are mentioned therein, viz., " Thomas Pound, Esquire of the Body to Queen Elizabeth, a Bachelor" ; "Anne, marr. to George Brit- ton " ; " Richard Pound, of Bondon. 3 son '' ; and '' Henry Pound, marr. Honor Kensall. This last-mentioned Henry had a son " John Pound, of Burhunt, who is married and hath issue." In the list of 'English Catholic Nonjurors of 1715' is "Thomas Pound of West Boarhunt, gent.—Farm there entailed —ZZl. 10. 0." Richard Pound, the third son (who ap- parently predeceased his mother), married "Anne, daughter of Walter Williams by Mary Byne, daughter of Thomas Byne and Jane Threele," and had issue Henry Pound (d. s.p. 1614) and William Pound. William appears to have inherited Beamond after the death of his uncle Thomas ; he was living there in 1634, and probably the following entry in the Farlington register relates to him : " Mr. William Pound, Esquire, of Beamond, was buried March 14th. 1641." He married Mary, daughter of Richard Lane, of Fishborne, co. Sussex, and had issue Thomas, William, Mabell, Philip, and Mary, all living in 1634. Thomas Pound, the eldest son of William, married as his first wife Elizabeth, daughter of Richard Mathew, of Stansted, co. Sussex (she was aged twenty-four and unmarried in 1623); and for his second wife (about 1G40) Elizabeth, daughter of John Browne (died January, 1641),of Midhurst, co.Suesex (grand- son of xlnthouy Browne, first Viscount Mon- tague, and brother of Anthony, the second
