Are there other George Percy in the Sussex area after George Percy's death year?

Details:
10th November 1639 at Clement Hastings Sussex England a recorded baptism of Elizabeth the daughter of George Percy.

Errata correction: 10th December 1639 at Clement Hastings Sussex England a recorded baptism of Elizabeth the daughter of George Percy

Day 13 of December 1639 seems to be misinterpreted. It is a burial, but it does not contain Elizabeth nor the name Percy, nor George.

Day 10 is the only entry of Elizabeth daughter of George Percy.

Does anyone make it out differently?

About the naming of Hastings, England:
Local names originally denoted the proprietorship of the village or estate. The Norman knight Robert of Hastings distinguished himself at the Battle of Hastings and was granted the town of Hastings by William the Conqueror as reward.

Percy and Hastings families connection politically:
Northumberland seems to have irritated Henry VII just before the king died. He had disposed of the wardship and marriage of Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of Sir John Hastings. He was fined £10,000, an amount of money quite as difficult to raise; and it is extraordinary that he managed to pay half the money before Henry VIII came to the throne. The new king cancelled the remainder of the debt 21 March 1510.

Following her father’s death, Elizabeth Hastings was abducted by Henry Algernon Percy, 5th earl of Northumberland, an action which usurped King Henry VII’s right of prerogative wardship. To make matters worse, Elizabeth died while in Northumberland’s custody, thus permanently depriving the King of a valuable wardship. Northumberland was fined £10,000, although payment was suspended during the King’s pleasure. Eventually Northumberland paid £3000, although part of that may have been for unlawful retaining (keeping too many liveried retainers in his employ).

Genetic connection between the Hastings, the Percy and the Neville:

George Hastings, born in 1488 at Ashby-de-la-Zouch, was the son of Edward Hastings, 2nd Baron Hastings, and Mary Hungerford, daughter and heiress of Sir Thomas Hungerford of Rowden, Wiltshire, by Anne Percy, daughter of Henry Percy, 2nd Earl of Northumberland, and Eleanor Neville, daughter of Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland.
