  • THOMAS DYCKONS or DECONS. the second son, espoused a military career, and for several years saw active service in France. He subsequently returned to England and resided at Wylshamsted, Co. Bedford. He married Alice, daughter of Robert Spencer of Southmylls and Cople, Co. Bedford, and had a son, Thomas, who entered Oxford and proceeded B.A. 1515. His descendants settled in the county of Hertford, where there are numerous evidences of a prosperous family of this name, who if not all directly descended from this progenitor, are without any question a branch of the same family stock. They are settled at St. Albans, Hemel-Hempstead, King's-Langley, Abbot's-Langley, Watford and neighboring parishes, and bear the same arms as Decons of Bedfordshire.
  • This branch of the family not only retained but increased their possessions and for three hundred years have maintained an unbroken line of descent, ranking among the gentry of Hertfordshire. Numerous memorials of the family are found in the parish churches and churchyards of this locality at the present day.
  • One notable instance is that of THOMAS DEACON, B.A., Trin. Coll., Oxford, born 1609 and buried in the church of St. Mary, Hemel-Hempstead, with a quaint inscription, as shown on the following page. ....
