David CECIL
Born: BEF 1455
Died: 14 Sep 1535/6, Stamford
Notes: Burghley House in the Soke of Peterborough had belonged to Ralph, Lord Cromwell and afterwards to the Wykes family whose descendants sold it in 1526 to David Cecil, a follower of Henry VII from Pembrokeshire. The Cecils may have descended from Seisyllt, Prince of Wales; John Seysyll of the 15th century has a brass in the church of St. Mary Tormarton, Gloucestershire so the Cecils and Cromwells may have known each other before the Tudors came to power. A Cecil had his arms registered on the Calais Roll of Edward III (1346) as "barry of 10, argent and azure, on six shields 3, 2, 1, sable, as many lioncels of the first". David Cecil came from the Welsh border and settled in Stamford where he became a freeman in 1494.

Rutland 1532-d.; sheriff, Northants. June 1532-Nov. 1533.7
Their family's humble origin was to be often used to denigrate William and Robert Cecil. Its fortunes were founded by David Cecil's service with Sir David Philip, who may have been his uncle. After perhaps fighting alongside him at Bosworth, Cecil settled near Philip at Stamford and married a kinswoman of his wife; Philip stood godfather to Cecil's second son, was associated with him in grants of office and appointed him an executor. What Philip's standing with Henry VII and the King's mother, Margaret Beaufort, did for his progress at court Cecil's marriage to the daughter of an alderman of Stamford did for his local advancement; it was during John Dicons's third term in the office that he was made a freeman of the borough and ten years later he became alderman himself. He had by then already sat for Stamford in Henry VII's last Parliament and he was to be re-elected to the first four summoned by Henry VIII. The fact that he was not re-elected in 1529 probably reflects his advancing years.8
In 1526 Cecil entertained Henry Fitzroy, Duke of Richmond, during his visit to Kings Cliffe Park. On Sir William Spencer's death in June 1532 he was chosen sheriff of Northamptonshire, and in spite of some objections on the score of his uncertain temper he was pricked for the following year after Cromwell and Sir Thomas Audley, who thought well of him, had suggested his transfer to Rutland. In his will of 25 Jan. 1535 he styled himself esquire. He asked to be buried in the church of St. George, Stamford, and left the incumbent a stipend of £5 to sing for his soul. He made provision for his wife and children, for the expenses of his funeral and for the payment of his debts. The executor, his son Richard, was granted probate of the will on 16 Mar. 1541, and it is likely that Cecil had died on the previous 14 Sept.; he is last included among the first 12 comburgesses of Stamford for the year 1535-6, but Richard Cecil did not succeed to any of his offices until 1541.9

Notes
David had land in Lincolnshire. In their book, The Great Governing Families of England, authors Townsend and Sanford state that David founded a chantry at St George's there in the 22nd year of the reign of Henry the Seventh (1506/7). David rose in favor under King Henry VIII. David was appointed bailiff of Whittlesey Mere and Keeper of the Swans in 3H8. In 5H8 David was made one of the King's Sergeants-at-Arms and "...thus obtained for his son Richard the office of page". David became High Sheriff of Northamptonshire in 1529 and 1530, and was three times an alderman of Stamford. David was also in 1535 Bailiff of Tinwell, a post also taken up by his son Richard and grandson William. David died in 1536, his only known wife was Jane Dichons, daughter and heiress of John Dichons of Stamford by Margaret, heiress of John Sewark.
