He took part in the expeditions to Cadiz, Rhe, and Rochelle, and there is a letter in the State Papers from «b»William Weld«/b», describing a quarrel between a «b»Sir Francis«/b» and «b»Sir Lucius Carey«/b». He died in 1665, in the seventy-sixth year of his age, and was succeeded by his son «b»Francis«/b», the celebrated naturalist. His heir, also named «b»Francis«/b», was created a baronet in 1677, with remainder to his brother, «b»Sir Thomas«/b», who, having represented the county in Parliament, was created Baron Middleton of Middleton, in the county of Warwick, in 1711. From him the present noble owner, the ninth Baron, is descended.
