Books
An anonymous engraved armorial bookplate for a Marsham baronet (Franks 19826) seems likely to have been used by this man, before 1716. The extent of his library is not known; his will has no specific mention of books, and all his estates and property were assigned to trustees for the benefit of his wife and children.
