- Walter_Aston,_2nd_Lord_Aston_of_Forfar abstract "Walter Aston, 2nd Lord Aston of Forfar (6 April 1609 – 23 April 1678) was a son of Walter Aston, 1st Lord Aston of Forfar, and Gertrude Sadleir, daughter of Sir Thomas Sadleir of Standon, Hertfordshire. In 1639, he succeeded his father as Lord Aston of Forfar in the peerage of Scotland. And, in 1660, at the death of his maternal uncle Ralph Sadleir, he inherited the lordship of Standon and other estates in Hertfordshire, England. His principal seat was Tixall in Staffordshire. Lord Aston was a staunch Royalist during the English Civil War: he was present at the Siege of Lichfield in 1643 and the surrender of Oxford; King Charles I expressed his regret at not being able to reward him as he deserved .After the failure of the Royalist cause he was required to compound for his estates and live in private. He married in 1629 Lady Mary Weston, daughter of Sir Richard Weston, Earl of Portland and Lord High Treasurer of England. He was an ardent Roman Catholic and effective leader of the Catholic community in Staffordshire; although when charged with recusancy in 1675 he wrote indignantly (and quite untruthfully) to the Secretary of State that "he never went to Mass or joined in any worship particular to the Church of Rome ". No further action was taken against him. "The munificent Lord Aston" was extremely popular, and a thousand mourners are said to have attended his funeral.He died April 23, 1678, and was succeeded by his eldest son Walter Aston, 3rd Lord Aston of Forfar. He was buried at St. Mary's Church, Stafford. His widow did not long survive him: according to her son-in-law Sir John Southcote (who married her daughter Elizabeth ), "she grew melancholy and lost her wits, keeping almost perpetual silence and refusing nourishment." There were at least two other daughters, Frances, who married Sir Edward Gage, 1st Baronet, and Anne, who married Henry Somerset.".
