His son Nathaniel and Tangier

Just to explain my removal of the reference to Nathaniel Fiennes Junior's death in Tangier. This is incorrect, and I can only find one place on the internet where this has inexplicably been stated.

If you look at the reference that was cited for this claim (Daltons Army Lists Vol 1 https://archive.org/details/englisharmylists01dalt/page/n6) This shows the Major Fines (sic) who was in Tangier as 'William' (this is also incorrect, William was a Captain & the Major was his brother George (& William is shown as alive in this same source after 1662); but I realise this isn't the place to debate this.) Nathaniel Fiennes (son of the famous Nathaniel) is known to have been alive until circa 1671. (I am trying to find a reliable secondary source that's on the internet, but in the meantime:

In his will, drawn up on 5 October 1669, he divided his lands in Wiltshire, Lincolnshire, Gloucestershire, and Hampshire between his two sons from his first marriage, Nathaniell (c.1637–c.1672) and William, and four daughters from his second, Frances, Anne, Celia, and Mary. Although he then described himself as in 'reasonable health' he died on 16 December; there is a monument to him in Newton Tony church. At least three of his children died young, but William (1639–1698) succeeded his uncle James Fiennes (c.1603–1674) as third Viscount Saye and Sele, Mary (1663–1737) married Sir Edmund Harrison, a London merchant, and Celia Fiennes (1662–1741) was the celebrated traveller.Frankensteenie (talk) 12:11, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
