Notes: Richard and Gilbert were the two eldest sons of William Rudhall d. 1609. Through their early deaths the family estate passed to the 3rd son, John. Richard was with the Earl of Essex at Cadiz in 1596 and was knighted the following year after another voyage against the Spaniards. Less is known about Gilbert who died in London aged 17. Patron probably their brother John.
