Legend says son Henry and his sons built up their considerable fortune through smuggling (probably brandy) along the Pembrokeshire coast, of which they owned an extensive section. They also managed to satisfy the Parliamentarians of their loyalty during the Civil War while being afterward admitted to the good graces of the Royalists on the accession of Charles II.
