V. Sergeant William Lovelace5 (John1, Richard2, William3, William4). Born about 1525-1530. He succeeded his father as proprietor of Lovelace Place. He was admitted to Gray's Inn in 1549, and called to the bar in 1551. …

Sergeant Lovelaces married twice and left issue by both wives. His first wife was Anne, daughter of Robert Lewes*, Alderman, and Mayor of Canterbury in 1536 (Hasted's Kent; 2 ed.; xii; 606). She was buried February 25th, 1569, in the Cathedral. She left no will.

He married secondly, about 1570, Mary, daughter of Sir Thomas White and the widow of Thomas Carrell. The will of "Mary Lovelace of Southwarneborne, Hants and St. Martin's, Ludgate, London, widow of William Lovelace Serjeant at the law", dated January 25th, 1577-8, proved April 29th, 1578, requests that she be buried at South Warnborough, lIants. She names her previous husband Thomas Carrell, her daughters Frances Carrell and Mabel Lovelace, both un- der twenty-one, several White brothers and sisters, and her step- children William, Thomas and Mary Lovelace (Prerogative Coturt. of Ca'nterbury, 1578; Langley 17).

The portrait of Sergeant Lovelace reproduced here is from a contemporary painting in the Dulwich Gallery, London, dated "AN'DNI, 1576", and displays the Love- lace arms with the motto "Virtute duce" (Gallery No. 372). It is painted on a panel (26 x 22 inches) and shows the Sergeant in his red robes.t …
