I never actually met Crolian and at the time I corresponded with him he was very elderly and not very open to debate about the family. He did however transcribe many pages of his notes which formed a useful basis for my knowledge of the family.
Refering to your reply. I have a further child for Philip's father Richard.
William, Tallow Chandler12 (possibly master) the youngest son of Richard lived at Pinner Place and died 2 May 1627 (or 1668?). His son William lived in Pinner Place until he died in 1692. In 1708 when Martha Richmond was executrix and residual legatee of his will which left lands in Harrow there was still an outstanding decree in Chancery in consideration of £2028.5s owed to creditors . Martha, one of two daughters of William the younger, the widow of a London apothecary named Richard Richmond, inherited Marlepits from her father and also purchased the adjoining Waxwell Farm9 and also Marlepit Wood which was later known as Bateman’s Wood after it passed to her daughter Lucy who married a Bateman. In 1681 William made a marriage settlement on Martha and Richard Richmond of Campions Farm with 22 Acres in Green Street and a 3 acre meadow called Stranges or Little Stranges all in the parish of Ridge. A tablet in Pinner Church shows that she died on 14th December 1725 age 66 and is buried in the Aubrey Vault along with her daughter Elizabeth Aubrey who died two years earlier15. William’s other daughter Hannah married John Kirton.3 Mar 1685/6.
It is interesting that many of the family members can be confirmed by the various properties that they owned and were passed on in their wills. In this particular case the ownership of Marlpits can be tracnd through many generations.
