This is my direct ancestor. He married Ursula, 5th dau. of George Nevill, Lord Abergavenny. He was Sheriff in 1560. He was a member of the Irish Privy Council at the time of Queen Elizabeth. He inherited Leeds Castle from his father. Some accounts say he returned to England in 1594 and died there in 1597. Some accounts say he was killed in Ireland in 1599. They had four children: Sir Anthony, Sir Warham, Ann who married Gen. Thomas Digges, and another daughter who married Kingsmill. He left Leeds Castle to his son Sir Anthony.

"Warham Saint Leger, Knt., of Ulcombe, co Kent, Sherriff of Kent, second son of Anthony Saint Leger, Knt., Lord Deputy of Ireland, by Agnes, daughter of Hugh Warham, of Croydon. They had five sons and four daughters."
