Excerpt from An Exact Reprint of the Famous Century of Inventions: Of the Marquis of Worcester, (First Published in 1663;); With Introduction, Notes and a Life of the Author
His education appears to have been conducted privately under the tutorship of a Mr. Adams. It does not appear that he was entered at any of the great English colleges, though it is possible that he may have been connected with some foreign university. Be this as it may, it is quite cer tain that his education was as complete and thorough as that of any young man of his time.
In the year 1628 he married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir William Dormer. She bore him one son and two daughters. The son, Henry Somerset, was created first Duke of Beau fort.
It is supposed that shortly after his marriage he retired to Raglan Castle and devoted himself to study and experiment, but of this we have no record.
