Thomas Lennard:
"Thomas Lennard, christened 23 May 1577 in Sevenoaks, Kent, England, buried 16 Nov 1638 in England. He was unmarried. CHRISTENING: Parish records of Sevenoaks, Kent, England FHL Film #1473690. GENEALOGY: An Account of the Families of Lennard and Barrett.
"I have been unable to discover much about either of Samson's sons Thomas or John. An ancient MS pedigree states that the latter died without issue, but does not give the date of his death. The same pedigree states that in 1628 Thomas was unmarried, and the Gray's Inn Register shows that he was admitted a member of that Inn on May 18th, 1596. We have some papers in a lawsuit brought more than a hundred years later against Thomas Earl of Sussex by which it appears that Samson bought a farm in the parish of Sundridge called Oveny Cakett's, and this farm and twenty acres of land in Brasted he settled on Thomas, whom it there refers to as his 'youngest son,' and makes no mention of the existence of John, so I think we may assume tbe latter died while still a child.
An ancient copy of this Thomas's will describes him as of 'Eveuns Green in the parish of Sundrish Kent.' He appointed his 'loving brother in law'Sir Francis Barnham his executor, to whom he left a legacy, and all the residue of his property to his godson Thomas Lennard, who was his greatnephew, being second son of 'Richard Lord Dacre . Sir Francis Barnham was granted probate of this will in November 1638; and the parish register of Herstmonceux records the burial of Thomas on November 6th in that year.
