Continued:

By the mid-seventeenth century, this branch had spawned offshoots settled at
Stretton-in-Shirland, The Hill-in-North Wingfield, South Normanton,
Rowthorne, Bolsover, Egstow Hall, Chesterfield, Little Normanton, Little
Brailsford in North Wingfield and Duffield - prolific if you like! The
latter branch, Duffield, migrated to France in 1689, and we do not know what
became of them. Thomas Brailsford of Senior sold that estate at about the
same time (all this perhaps as a result of zeal for the deposed James II)
and moved to Mansfield where, the Lysons say, 'their descendants were
opulent yeoman'.

Thereafter, our pedigrees falter, although individual research would
undoubtedly bridge the gap for many. Certainly the descendants of the only
surviving family known certainly to descend from a Saxon holding land at the
time of the Domesday are numerous in this country and much further a field,
too.
