It is my belief that these children all d. young, not being mentioned in his will.
There was a George Cradock, of Boston, who is said by Huchinson to have been a grandson of the governor.
However, as the historian seems to be in error in the same paragraph in confusing the brother and nephew of Mathew, I prefer the authority of the English heralds, who mention no descendants of the governor.
Samuel, the brother of Mathew, had Samuel, Mathew, and Zachary; of whom Samuel was rector of North Cadbury, and d. Oct. 7, 1706, aged 86.
On the death of his father's cousin, he succeeded to the estate at Wickham Brook, which remained in the possession of his descendants.
He published a work called “Knowledge and Practice; or a Plain Discourse of the Chief Things necessary to be known, believed, and practised in order to Salvation.
Useful for private families.”
I have a copy of the third edition, printed in London, 1673.
It is a very curious and learned collection of texts and comments.
There is also a funeral sermon extant, preached on his death by Samuel Bury, printed in 1707.
There were several other families of this name: one settled at Cradock Hall, in Richmond, co. York; another at Husband's Bosworth; another at Glanmorganshire (descended from Caradoc ap Ynir ap Ivor, lord of Dyfed); and a fourth is recorded in Burke's “Commoners.”
The name is a very ancient one, and occurs in the ballads concerning King Arthur.
