In 1646 the sequestrators required him to surrender a portion of the estate due to his daughter, who had married without her father's consent to Sir Frederick Cornwallis, a Royalist.
He became J.P. in July 1660 and became Deputy Lieutenant and commissioner for assessment in August 1660, holding all roles until his death.
