APPENDIX G 631 "Thomas Lord Pride," 20 Jan. 1 657/8. (') He signed the proclamation in which Richard Cromwell was declared Protector, 3 Sep. 1658. He m. Elizabeth, C") da. of ( — ) ( — ), who survived him.(') He d. 23 Oct., at Worcester House afsd., and was bur. 2 Nov. 1658, " with baronial honours." Will dat. 12 Oct., pr. 22 Nov. i658.() At the Restoration he was attainted, 15 May 1660, his estates were confiscated, and orders were given for his corpse to be taken up and bur. under the gallows at Tyburn. ('^) (■) "Colonel Pride, then Sir Thomas, now Lord Pride, some time an honest brewer in London, went out a captain upon the account of the cause, fought on, and in time became a colonel . . . The noble lawyers will be glad of his company and friendship, for that there is now no fear of his hanging up their gowns by the Scottish colours in Westminster-hall, as he formerly threatened to do." {Second Narrative of the late Parliament). The elevation of Pride and Hewson to the " Other House " was satirized in numerous contemporary ballads. In the following example " craft " stands for Hewson the cobbler, and " the Gentle Knight " was probably Sir Richard Onslow. (See ante, p. 625, note " e "). " For had you scene but Pryde, with ' craft ' by his side, and 'the Gentle Knight' betweene, You had taken your Oath they had bin dray-men both, and he a full barrell had bin." {Roxburghe Ballads, vol. ix, App. xcvii). C*) According to the Diet. Nat. Biog., Col. Pride m. " Elizabeth, natural da. of Thomas Monck, brother of the Duke of Albemarle ; " and Berry states that she was da. of said Thomas M. by " Mary Gould a concubine, no wife." It seems quite clear, however, from the entry of Monck's marriage with Mary Gould 24 Dec. 1626, and the baptism of their da. Elizabeth 3 Feb. 1627/8 (as quoted in Vivian's Fisita- tions of Devon), that she was legitimate; and it is equally clear that the said Elizabeth was not the wife of Col. Pride, but of his s. and h., Thomas Pride, to whom she was m., 28 Aug. 1654, at St. Botolph's, Aldgate, by Justice Powell. {Par. Reg.). ("=) Sir John Denham applies for a warrant for some timber " lying at Kingston, sold by Pride's wife out of Nonsuch Parks." {Cal. S. P. Dom., 1660, p. 456). C) In his will, in which he is styled " Thomas, Lord Pride, of Worcester house in the County of Surrey," he mentions his son Thomas and Major Yates as " my partners in the Brew-houses at Kingston," and appoints his wife Elizabeth and his son-in-law, Robert Walton, executors. Thomas Pride, the younger, was a Lieut, in his father's regt. in Nov. 1647, ^"'^ Capt. 17 June 1659. ^^ '"• Elizabeth Monck (see above, note " b "), by whom he had an only s., also named Thomas (who m. Rebecca, 3rd da. and coh. of William Brydges, 7th Baron Chandos of Sudeley, and had several children, all of whom d. s.p.); and a da. Elizabeth, />. 1657, m., istly (lie. dat. 23 Oct. 1674), John Gibbs, of Norwich, who d. 22 Oct. 1695, and, 2nd!y (lie. dat. 19 Nov. 1697), William Sherwin, of Whitley House, Calnc, Wilts, the claimant, y«nr uxoris, in the great lawsuit "Sherwin v.
