Thomas Wroth, the eldest son of Robert Wroth, of Durrants in
Enfield, and his wife Jane Hawte, was born in 1516, and upon the
death ot his father in 1536. inherited Durrants. He was a ward of
the king. He was educated at St. Johns College, Cambridge and in
1636 became a student of law at Gray's Inn. October 4, 1536, his
wardship and marriage was granted by Henry VIII to Thomas
Cromwell. In 1539 Sir Richard Rich, later Lord Rich and Chancellor
of England, paid Cromwell three hundred marks for the
right of disposing of Wroth in marriage, and provided for his third
daughter Mary by betrothing her to him. Wroth. 24 April, 1540,
granted livery of his lands, and in that and the following year
Rich secured for Wroth the manor of Highbury. forteited by
Cromwell, and the manors of Beymondhall, Herts, and lands in
Chestnut, Wormley and Enfield, belonging to various dissolved
monasteries. Wroth went to parliament, 18 December, 1544, as one
of the knights of the shire for Middlesex, and appears to have again
represented Middlesex from 1547 to 1552. Through the influence of
his father in law he was appointed in 1645 one of the gentlemen of
the bed chamber of Prince Edward and retained this position during
all of Edward's reign, and was knighted, 22 February, 1546-7. He
was sent by the king with a letter of congratulation to the Protector
upon the victory of Pinkie, September, 1547, and July, 1548. was a
witness against Bishop Gardiner for his sermon preached at St.
Paul's. Upon the Protector's fall Wroth was appointed one of the
four principal gentlemen of the privy chamber, his ordinary salary
of Âú50 being doubled to help ensure his fidelity to Warwick. On
the day of the Protector's execution he was sent to Sion House to
report on the number and ages of Somersett's children and servants,
and 7 June, Wroth was given a twenty-one years lease of
Sion House, which however he surrendered later for charitable
purposes. He was granted, 24 July, 1550, the manors of Barfield,
Chigwell and West Ham in Essex. He was appointed, 14 April,
1651, joint lord lieutenant of Middlesex with Paget, and in the last
year of Edward's reign was one of the commissioners for the
lordlieutenancy of Middlesex, and knight of the shire in Edward's last
parliament. Although he never actually became a member of the
Privy Council, he was one of those whom Edward proposed in
March, 1561-2 to "call in commission." He was a great favorite of
King Edward, who is said to have died in his arms. Wroth was in
1552 on a commission for the recovery of the king's debts, and this
same year was one ot the "adventurers" in a voyage to Morocco.

Page 498
Wroth signed the king's letters patent limiting the crown to Lady
Jane Grey, but took no other part in Northumberland's insurrection.
He was committed to the Tower, 27 July, 1653, but was released-
Although urged by Lord John Grey, Jan. 27, 1553-4, to join Suffolk's
rising, Wroth escaped to the continent, probably by royal license
obtained through the influence of his father-in-law Lord Rich from
Queen Mary. He remained at Frankford and Strassburg during the
remainder of Mary's reign, but on Elizabeth's accension he returned
to England. He again represented Middlesex, 29 December, 1558,
as knight of the shire, and was appointed in 1562 epecial commissioner
on the government of Ireland, being in Dublin in 1563 and 1564. In
1569 he was commissioner tor the musters in Middlesex
and for the lord-lieutenancy of London. Wroth's will shows that
he held numerous manors in addition to those already referred to,
which he had doubtlessly acquIred by purchase. The date of his
death, 9 October, 1573, as given in the Dictionary of National
Biography, is probably incorrect, as this is the date at the codicil
of his will, which was not probated until 16 April, 1575. He therefore
probably died early in 1575. The will of Sir Thomas Wroth, dated
6 October, 1573, with a codicil as just stated, dated 9 October,
1573, was proved in the Prerogative Court at Canterbury, 16 April,
16 April, 1575 (Pyckering, 16). Atthough the will is a very lengthy
one, It seems advisable to give a full abstract of its contents, both
on account of the additional light it throws upon Wroth and his
decendants, and as a picture of the times which it presents. His
directions for a simple funeral throw an interesting sidelight upon
his character, and his desire that the "gilt boll pinked with a cover
that King Edward gave me" should descend With Durrants, the
principal family seat, shows the great value which this evidence of
his sovereign's favor possessed in his eyes.
Will of Thomas Wrothe of Enfeld, co. Middlesex. knight,

Proved:-16 April, 1576. by Master Christopher Robinson,
public notary, proctor to the executors named in the will.
Sir Thomas Wroth. who had married in 1539 or 1540, Mary
daughter of Richard. Lord Rich of Leez, is shown by the will to
have left by her seven sons and seven daughters. The statement
made in several of the old visitation pedigrees that all the sons
except Robert and Thomas died without issue is open to doubt.
Issue:
Sons:
1. Robert Wroth of Durrants in Enfield, Middlesex. Born about
1540; died 1606. He married Susan, daughter of Francis
Stonard (or Stoner) of Loughton, Essexs by whom he left
issue, wh1ch carried down the Durrants line.
2. Richard Wroth. Living 1573. Not traced.
3. Thomas Wroth. Died 1610. He was of the Inner Temple,
London; he acquired a considerable fortune and was later
of Blundenhall, Kent. He marrled Joane daughter and coheir
of Thomas(or John) Bullman (or Bulmer) of London.
4. Edward (or Edmond) Wroth. living 1573. Not traced.
5. John Wroth. Living 1573. Not traced.
G. Gerson Wroth. Living 1573. Not traced.
7. Peter Wroth. Living 1573. Not traced.
Daughters*:
8. Mabel Wroth. Probably the eldest daughter and born about
1642. She died in 1597. She married lst, 10 June 1560, Edward
Aucher of Bishopsbourne, Kent, by whom she had issue
(1) Sir Anthony Aucher and (2) Elisabeth Aucher mar. Sir
WIlliam Lovelace (1661-1629). the elder, of Bethersden. Mabel
Wroth married 2nd, about 1571-1572. Richard Hardres of
Hardres, Kent. For full details of her and her Aucher descendents
see ante pages 378-381. No attempt has been made to trace her
Hardres descendants.
9. Judith Wroth. Married prior to 1573 Robert Burgoyne. Not
traced.
10, Wynefred Wroth. Married prior to 1573 Thomas Goddard.
Not traced.
11. Elizabeth Wroth. Unmarried in 1573. Not traced.
12. Anne Wroth. Unmarried in 1573. Not traced.
*The Visitation of Essex, 1612(Harl. Soc. Publ. xiii, 33), which alone
of the old pedigrees refers to any daughters, gives only one daughter,
Margaret who is stated to have married 1st Izacke and 2nd
Thomas Wyatt of Barkyn, Essex. This is probably an error as it is
entirely unsupported by the will, which makes no mention of a daughter
Margaret.

14. Frances Wroth. Unmarried in 1573. Not traced.
