of Ormsby in Lincolnshire in 1638. He was trained as a lawyer and admitted to
the Society of the Inner Temple on May 11, 1633.
He fought on the side of Parliament in the Civil War, raising a troop of horse
and serving as its captain. He also served as Colonel of a troop of horse under
the Commonwealth in 1650. He was Sheriff of Lincolnshire from 1655 to 1657.
At the restoration, although covered by both the Act of Oblivion and the general

the King on Feb 17 1661. He was married to Anne Mildmay about Nov 25 1678.
