Richard's son Thomas Rolles (1608–89) led a long life of extravagance supported by sales and enfranchisements, and left to his son, a third Thomas Rolles (1652–1725), and impoverished property, reduced by the sale of a farm with 178 acres in the common fields to Edward Huish of the Middle Temple, and of another in 1667 to Sir Thomas Tipping of Wheatfield. At length Thomas Rolles the younger made over a bankrupt estate in 1720 to his brother-in-law Paul Jodrell in satisfaction of his debts and mortgages. Paul Jodrell (1646–1728) of Syon Hill in Isleworth (Mdx.), who thus became lord of Lewknor manor, was for 43 years Clerk to the House of Commons. His grandson, also named Paul Jodrell (1713–51), was Solicitor-general to Frederick, Prince of Wales. In the next generation, Richard Paul Jodrell (1745–1831), who purchased the Nethercote manor in Lewknor, was a dramatist, versifier, and classical scholar, a Fellow of the Royal Society and the last surviving member of Dr. Johnson's Club. His son, a second Richard Paul Jodrell (1781–1861), inherited through his mother a baronetcy and the Norfolk estate of Salle Park. His son, Sir Edward Repps Jodrell, died without issue in 1882 and his daughter Amelia Vertue (d. 1890), wife of Charles Higgins, eventually succeeded to the Salle estate and Nethercote House and took the name Jodrell again'. </p> <div class='mw-heading mw-heading2'><h2 id='Descent'>Descent</h2></div> <ul><li>Paul Jodrell (1645-1728) of Lichfield, Clerk of the House of Commons married Jane Rolles, daughter (and heiress) of Thomas Rolles of Lewknor; Paul Jodrell (1645-1728) was thus brother-in-law to Thomas Rolles (1652–1725) of Lewknor; <ul><li>Paul Jodrell (d.1744) of Duffield, barrister-at-law, (grandson of Paul Jodrell (1645-1728), Clerk of the House of Commons), married Judith Sheldon, daughter and coheiress of Gilbert Sheldon. <ul><li>Paul Jodrell (c.1715-1751), of Duffield, Derbyshire, MP for Old Sarum in 1751, was the eldest son of Paul Jodrell (d.1744) of Duffield, by his wife Judith Sheldon; he was Solicitor-general to Frederick, Prince of Wales.
