On Leo's great site we see

that Dorothy Cradock who m Sir Thomas Slingsby, 2nd Bart

that Elizabeth Cradock who m Robert Cholmondeley, 1st Viscount Cholmondeley

here

that Mary Cradock who m John Bridgeman, 2nd Bart

two of these are given as sisters

I shall now, with a wave of my magic wand, show that the third is also a sister, the death and burial of their father, the name of *his* father, the name of his father-in-law, *and* that these three girls were the entire surviving family and were all co-heiresses of their father.

Voila !

"Matthew Cradock, who purchased the Castle of Caverswell, was, we are told by Sir Simon Degge, the son of George Cradock of Stafford, a wool merchant, and clerk of the Assize to this circuit. Matthew Cradock built the present castle there, and upon his death it came to his son, George who died in 1643, and was buried in Caverswell Church, with the following curious epitaph:
"George Cradock esq're (for his great prudence in ye common lawes well worthy to be leaw-Clarke of ye Assizes for this Circuit) did take to wife ye most amiable, most loving Dorothy ye daughter of John Saunders Doctor of Physicke by whom he had a Pair-royall of incomparable daughters, to wit, Dorothy, Elizabeth and Mary. It is easie to guess that he lived in a splendid degree if I shall but recount to you that:
"Sir Thomas Slingsby Baronet -- Dorothy --------------------------|
"Ye Right Honb'le Rob't Lord Cholmondeley -- Elizabeth --------| Co-Heirs
"Sir John Bridgeman Baronet -- Mary --------------------------------|
"But! but! to our grief George Cradock is assaulted by death in ye meridian of his age not far off from his Castle of Caverswell (lately built even to beauty, by Matthew Cradock Esq. his father, who lies inter'd near this place) And dying of ye small pox ye 16th of April 1643 he tooke himselfe to ye private mansion of this tombe, erected for him at ye cost of Dorothy his obsequious wife, where he now rests (under the protection of an Essoine) until he shall be summon'd to appeare at ye last great and general Assizes."
