He was born at Great St. Helen's, Bishopsgate, in 1561, and was educated at the Merchant Taylors' School, which he left in 1578.
He was knighted the ensuing month at Whitehall Palace, and from an undated letter of his spiritual adviser, William Crashaw, relating the fact of his death and describing the ‘godly disposition’ in which he met it, endorsed by his brother Sir Julius with the date 18 July 1610, would seem to have died then or shortly before.
His second wife was Anne, daughter of George Lynn of Southwick, Northamptonshire, and widow of Nicholas Beeston of Lincolnshire; she died without issue.
By his third wife, Susan, daughter of Sir William Ryder, Lord Mayor of London in 1600, whom he married on 18 Jan. 1592/3, he had eight children, three sons and five daughters, who all survived him.
