JERNINGHAM

Notes: because of their Catholic faith, their two young sons were taken from them to be brought up as Protestants at Westminster. The plague raging in London prompted Sir Henry to request that his sons be sent back to Cotesby. Consent was given. (Vide Historical Manuscripts Commission 10th report App. part IV. H.M.S.O. 1885): 1593, The Privy Council to Henry Jerningham, Esq.:"In answer to his suit that his two sons remaining with Mr. Molecaster might, during the time of the infection be sent to remain with him for one season, they had formerly permitted them to remain with him until Allhallows' tide next, now, upon his renewed application that his said children for some longer space of time may remain in the country with him until infection be more slacked in the city they consent to his request until Twelvetide next. They look that in the meantime his children be brought up by a schoolmaster known to be well affected in religion, that may give account for their education. Whitehall 22 Oct 1593"
