Francis Saunders

The Manor of Amersham was sold in 1624 to William Tothill and the particulars of sale show that at that time it was tenanted by Francis Saunders and Sir Thomas Saunders (knighted at Newmarket in reign of James I). These were two of the sons of Richard and Elizabeth and the last Saunders to occupy The Bury although other branches of the family continued to live in Amersham, at least for a few years.

Fig. 3 Francis died in 1661 in Haddenham and a tablet in the church shows his arms, or rather the Saunders arms because there is evidence that several members of the family used the same arms, shown in Fig. 3, (party chevronwise argent and sable three elephants heads raised and countercoloured).

John Saunders then married Elizabeth Blount and they had six children. Three of these were baptised in Amersham, John in 1590, Thomas in 1593 and Elizabeth in 1596. The Manor of Amersham was sold in 1624 to William Tothill and the particulars of sale show that at that time it was tenanted by Francis Saunders and Sir Thomas Saunders (knighted at Newmarket in reign of James I).
