the old church at Williamsburgh:

"Under this marble lyeth the body of Thomas Ludwell, Esq., Secretary of
Virginia, who was born at Burton, in the county of Somerset, in the

this place lie the bodies of Richard Kemp, Esq., {374} his predecessor

in the foregoing inscription. Sir Thomas Lunsford is said to have come from
Surrey, and to have served during the civil wars.
