Sheriff John (II) Brocket

http://www.wheathampstead.net/brockett/index.htm

Edward Brocket and Elizabeth had several children. John Brocket, Esquire and Sheriff of Hertfordshire was their eldest son. He married Lucy Pulter by whom they had children, John, Edward Lucy, Elizabeth and Allice. Their son Edward married Margaret Mikleford. This Edward resided at Letchworth, Hertfordshire. From Edward and Margaret were the Brocket descendants at Codicot, Hertfordshire and the ‘Rector” of Graveley parish who during the Civil War, 1642-51, was one of large numbers of the clergy ejected from their livings. Edmund Brocket, “had been a priest for over 50 years was ejected in 1643/4 as scandalous in life and unsound doctrine.” From William, the youngest son of Edward Brocket and Elizabeth (Thwaytes) probably descends the “cadet line” the Brocket’s of Campton and Dunton, Bedfordshire and Guilden Morden, Cambridgeshire.
