Lycett gentry family of Weston and Stafford

[History Lives]

I am looking for any information related to the Lycett family, who I believe to have been part of the local gentry in the Stafford area. Francis Lycett born about 1710, wife of Ann Thompson, was my ancestor and he was a gentleman resident at Weston Hall. He left a substantial fortune in his will but as for his family origins and how he came into his money I am unsure.

His daughter Mary married my 5x great grandfather Archibald Campbell, PhD.

I believe Francis' parents are Joseph and Isabella (or Elizabeth) Lycett.

Any more information about Francis, or his ancestors would be much appreciated.
