The Egglestone estate, acquired from Toby Ewbank of that place,
by deed dated 25 January, 1659, was settled on the marriage of the
diarist's eldest son, Ctithbert Sanderson, with Frances, elder daughter
of William Fielding. The trustees of the settlement, which is
dated 21 June, 1670, were : Christopher Musgrave, esq., Basil Fielding,
gent., Francis Sanderson, merchant, and William Aubone, merchant.
The property was sold 31st January, 1726, by the diarist's grand-son,
Cliristopher Sanderson, to Robert Coatsworth, described as 'brother
and heir of William Coatsworth deceased,' who had advanced the
large sum of 7,0571. 15s. 8d. on account of the vendor.
The diarist was father of Robert Sanderson, Avho, after being
educated at Brignal school and at St. John's college, Cambridge,
became first assistant, and afterwards joint, editor of Rymer's
Foedera. Robert Sanderson also published a volume of Original
Letters of William III. He was clerk of the Chapel of the Rolls
and usher of the High Court of Chancery, and in 1727 succeeded to
Armathwaite castle under the will of his elder brother William. He
died at his house in Chancery Lane on the 25 December, 1741, and
as he gave the family estates to a grand-son of his sister, Margaret
Milburn, it is probable that the male descendants of the diarist had
already failed.
