According to a brass in the Chicheley Chapel, he had 4 sons and 6 daughters. In the register he has 5 sons and 2 daughters. Rector for 34 years.

Died 23 July 1625 aged 63. Buried 25 July 1625 in the Chicheley Chapel.

Fellow and President of Caius. Living sequestered 1642-1660. Fellow and President of Gonvil and Caius College and Prebendary of Norwich 1670. Died 2 [20?] May 1695 in the 92nd year of his age.

Baker's MSS records: "Mr Loveland of Wimpole, Articles against him and Mr Harpington his Curate, May 10 1644: For neglecting his Cure and putting in one Mr Harpington, a man very negligent in the ministerial office, and much given to play of cards of a night, for neglecting of fast days, for sending a horse to the King, and charging Thomas Lancaster who rid him, to ride the horse to death rather than the Earl (Manchester) should light on him; for not taking the Covenant and refusing to tender it. Whereupon by Manchester's Warrant he was ejected and sequestered".

Though the Rectory was sequestered from Mr Loveland from 1643 to 1660, yet all the burials registered during that time and indeed from November 1626 to February 1681/2 are in his handwriting; and at the end of the year 1659 he signs himself Rector. He must have entered these from some other accounts after his restoration; for the Christenings, 'till 1663, are in another hand.'

[It does not appear who held the Living during the 1642-1660 sequestration unless it was William Scarlett, who styled himself Curate in 1650, and probably continued so at least 'till March 1659. In 1662 he was Vicar of Bassingbourn'. [Venn: Alumni Cantabrigienses Pt 1, Vol. IV p29, lists a William Scarlett, admitted to Jesus College 1642, B.A. 1645/6, M.A. 1649; incorporated at Oxford 1653.]

The William Scarlett at Wimpole seems to have made entries in the register only in 1650, but the writing and signature are certainly the same as at Bassingbourn where William Scarlett was Vicar 1661-1700. He was buried at Bassingbourn, aged 74, on 11 April 1700.]
