• Notes

  --- "Sir John Eliot: A Biography" by John Forster, Vol. 2, 1872, page 358: Thomas, the elder of his two youngest boys, had died in the month following Eliot's sentence. I mark the date by a note of the 16th of April about the purchase of mourning for his sons at Oxford. He was expecting them at Whitsuntide, but told them at once to get what clothes were necessary. 'Better there than here, in respect of the trouble of sending. And in that observe your own convenience, either for cloth or stuff as may be answerable to mourning.'* * Port Eliot MSS. 16th April 1630. 'To my son Jo. Eliot.' --- Parish Registers do not exist at St. Paternus, South Petherwin, before 1656. The children of the imprisoned Sir John Eliot were staying at Trebursey, the house of their grandfather (Richard Gedy), at the time of Thomas Eliot's death. Presumably, he was buried at St. Paternus, as it is the obvious burial place of the Gedy family. It is known that Richard Gedy was buried (also presumably at South Petherwin) beside his parents and some of his children, so it is likely that this young grandson was buried there as well.
