Biography

Sir Edward Tyrrell, Kt., and 1st Baronet of Thornton born 26 February 1573, died 2 July 1656, buried at Thornton, 3 July. Knighted 1607, Sheriff for Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire 1613. Sir Edward created a baronetcy in 1627, and in 1638 took out a second patent giving reversion to his second son, Toby. This was done, apparently, to debar his eldest son, Robert; nowhere does it appear why he should wish to do this, but perhaps Robert was ‘of unsound mind’.
