Hatchment in Church of St Michael the Archangel, Llanyblodwel, Shropshire, England, of Tanat Godolphin, who died before the age of 21 of a fever in Flanders, having served as a soldier for 7 years, and fought in 5 campaigns, "as brave and stout an officer of any of his time", as is recorded on his mother's monument in the same church. These are his arms, not his father's, as the arms of Tanat, his mother's family, are quartered not impaled or borne as an inescutcheon. He was the only son and heir apparent of Col. Sydney Godolphin (1652–1732) of Thames Ditton, Surrey, MP, Auditor of the Principality of Wales, Governor of the Scilly Isles, etc, by his wife Susanna Tanat, youngest daughter and co-heiress of Rees Tanat of Abertanat, Shropshire (per her monument in Llanyblodwel Church). Susanna's only brother Owen Tanat (1650-1668) died aged 18, the last heir male of the ancient family of Tanat, which had lasted 23 generations. (per his monument in Llanyblodwel Church), Col. Godolphin's only son Tanat Godolphin died before the age of 21 of a fever in Flanders, having served as a soldier for 7 years, and fought in 5 campaigns, "as brave and stout an officer of any of his time", as is recorded on his mother's monument. Col. Godolphin is not mentioned in the pedigree of Godolphin in the Heraldic Visitations of Cornwall[1]. Col. Godolphin was (according to his History of Parliament biog) 2nd but only surv. son of John Godolphin (d.1678), DCL, Judge of Admiralty 1653-9, of Clerkenwell, Mdx. by his 2nd wife Mary Tregose, da. (and heiress? his son quarters Tregos) of William Tregose of St. Ives, Cornw. (His History of Parliament biog confuses the 2nd Earl of Godolphin as his son).
