  • Notes 
    • Sir Thomas Temple, 1st Baronet of Stowe (9 January 1567 – February 1637). He was the eldest son of John Temple and Susan (née Spencer). His baptism on 9 January 1566/7 is recorded at Everton, Northamptonshire, the childhood home of his mother.

      He was an English landowner and Member of Parliament. He was knighted by James I in 1603 and purchased a baronetcy in 1611. In 1604, Temple purchased the Borough of Buckingham.
      In 1606, Thomas served as sheriff of Oxfordshire; he was sheriff of Buckinghamshire in 1616 and of Warwickshire in 1620.

      The wool industry on which the Temple family fortune had been founded had been suffering since the beginning of the seventeenth century. Sir Thomas also had other drains on his wealth. With such a large family, he had to meet significant expenses whenever his children got married - particularly dowries for his 9 daughters.[

      He married Hester Sandys the daughter of Miles Sandys esq. of Latimers Bucks, in about 1585 or 1586. Sir Thomas and Hester had fifteen recorded children, 2 of whom died in infancy; of the remainder, 4 were sons and 9 were daughters.
