Educated at Westminster school, he continued his studies at Oriel College, Oxford, took the degree of Master of Arts, was ordained in 1728, and soon afterwards presented to the Rectory of Heigham near Norwich by his father's great friend Dr Wake the then Archbishop of Canterbury. About the same time he went over to Holland and married at The Hague Marieanne de Gastine, daughter of the Major de Gastine, a French refugee in the Dutch service. By this lady who died soon after the birth of her second child, he had a daughter, Susan, who died very young, and a son, Anthony, my father, of whom hereafter. My Grandfather, settling at Norwich, there married, about 1740 M" Mary Smith, widow, who eventually became entitled to and possessed of the estates of her Uncle Giles Cutting Esq. of Hoveton S 1 Peter in Norfolk, who died in the Fleet prison in London and left his estate overloaded with debt. By great sacrifices on my Grandfather's part, as well as by good management and frugality, he cleared the property of incumbrances; and his wife, having no near relations, devised it to him and his heirs.
He survived his second wife near thirty years and died at his house at Norwich the 22 A day of May 1781 in his 77th year. He was much esteemed for his piety, learning and good sense; and for his affectionate, unvarying, and substantial kindness to me, I never think or speak about him without perfect gratitude and tenderness.
