2nd s. and event. h. of Sir Richard Lacon* by his 1st w.; legit. half-bro. of William Lacon I*. m., A detailed and generally-reliable 17th cent. visitation ped. identifies his w. as Magdalen, da. of Richard Wisham of Holt, Worcs., very near the property at Hampton Lovett which came to the Lacons through our MP’s mother: Vis. Salop (Harl. Soc. xxviii), 306. There are, however, difficulties with this identification. There seems to have been no contemporary Richard Wisham, and our MP’s w. was certainly not the da. of John Wisham by Margaret, da. and h. of Sir John Beauchamp† of Holt: CIPM, xxi. 515-16; VCH Worcs. iv. 404. at least 1s. 4da.
