Notes for Edward Powys (The Younger)
Martin P-L writes:
Edward the Younger 1585-1659, third son of above, married Alice Roe 1613. For his children see the above tree.
A tanner, he bought 112 Corve St., Ludlow, which still stands. In Ludlow you can buy a book on it, with much Powys information, called the Great House, Ludlow Research Paper no. 4.
In 1625 he was Chamberlain, in 1630 Low Bailiff, 1639 High Bailiff. A member of the Corporation till 1654. On the way to these dignities he was twice fined by the Court of Marches, once for "indirect practices", once for "assault, affray and bloodshed". His will survives, PRO Prob. 11/298 fo.88.
His sons were involved in the Civil War on the Royalist side (like the Lybbes at Hardwick). Thomas and Roger joined in the siege of Brampton Bryan, seat of leading Parliamentarians. Edward served in Ludlow as Captain of a band of foot. They suffered no retribution after the King's defeat and execution. Thomas was elected to the Corporation in 1646 and served throughout the Commonwealth. He was even presented by the Corporation with two sugarloaves of 20 lb. weight. (Thomas Powys of Henley, similarly, served no enduring deprivation. The Lybbes had a tougher time of it.)
Before his father's death, Thomas was given 112 Corve St. He did not live there, however, letting it till 1688, when he sold it. He preferred to live nearer to the river, among his fellow tanners. In 1692 he was High Bailiff.
