“ Edward Bouverie, Esq., of Delapré Abbey, who died in 1858, aged ninety, was succeeded by his son, General Everard William Bouverie (born 1789, died 18th November 1871) . Another son, Captain Francis Kenelm Bouverie, of the 62nd Foot (born 7th August 1797) , had died in his father’s lifetime (19th September 1837) , leaving a son (born 12th July 1836) , who became the only surviving male heir of his family, and is the present John Augustus Sheil Bouverie, Esq., of Delapré Abbey, High Sheriff of Northamptonshire in 1877. ”

“ For several generations each head of this family obtained a step in worldly rank. The above-named Sir Edward was knighted by James II. His eldest son, William (born in 1657) , who had been elected Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England on 2d April 1707, was created a baronet 19th February 1714 (n.s.) . Sir William was twice married — first, to Mary, daughter of John Edwards, Esq., of London; and secondly, to Anne, only child of David Urry, Esq., of London, and granddaughter of John Urry, of Millplace, in the Isle of Wight. His surviving children were of the second marriage. ”

“ Eheu! fatale mentis ornandae studium!
quod flentes simul collaudare cogimur!
His enim intentus quum in Asiam trajecisset, Graeciae etiam et AEgypti eruditionum gazas Romanis additurus,
morbo repentino correptus
in ipso itinere
(proh! spes hominum fragiles! proh! nostras delicias breves!)
e vitâ excessit.
The estate of Beachworth [2] had come to him through his mother (née Elizabeth Freeman) , and the estate of Teston through his aunt Anne, wife of Sir Philip Boteler, Baronet, of Teston. In Literary Anecdotes he is styled “Mr. Bouverie of Teston.” ”
