  • Notes 
    • In the service of George Calvert, later Lord Baltimore, he was made "Clerk of the Entries" in 1610 when Calvert was Clerk of the Council. Later, 1617-1621, he was a London agent of Sir Dudley Carleton, secretary to Sir Francis Bacon. He became secretary of the East India Company in 1621 and Clerk of the Ordnance of the Tower in 1626. On Feb. 10, 1625, he had been granted a general pardon, and in 1637 he was given the reversion of the office of Clerk of the Ordnance. "Mr. Rous of Oriel use to say of Edward Sherburne ... that he was a proud man and that he always took him to be a gentleman, but, saith he, upon enquiry I find that his mother sold ale in some of the skirts of the city." Edward Sherborn married Frances Stanley, second daughter of John Stanley of Roydon. He died in December,1641, aged 63, and was buried in the chapel of the Tower of London. His widow was granted administration on his estate in June, 1642. - Massachusetts and Maine Families in the Ancestry of Walter Goodwin Davis. Vol. III.
