  General Notes:

came to an arrangement with his brother whereby William took the manor of Milton Keynes. On his demise in 1606 his son William, then a minor held the manor. In 1637 William's first son Edward held the manor, dying the following year leaving the manor to his brother Charles; who was succeeded by his younger brother William in 1643. He did not enjoy the profits of the estate. It was mortgaged for £6000 in 1634 to Sir Lewis Watson (who became Lord Rockingham) and John Loddington. Parliament were ignorant of this fact and granted Sir John Corbett the estate in recompense for losses caused by the kings troops. Corbett and Rockingham fought out their case in the Chancery and in 1652 it was referred to Parliament . Corbett pleading the Act of Oblivion. Rockingham died in 1653 and his son Edward Watson and John Loddington joined William Stafford in levying for Milton Manor. Henry Stafford, son of William, was sued whilst a minor in 1669 by Dr. Lewis Atterbury with regard to the glebe lands. In 1667 Henry Stafford conveyed the manor to Heneage Finch and his son Daniel.
