He possessed considerable landed property in Norfolk and Lincolnshire, and was lieutenant-colonel of the militia of the former county. The Conys, who have been frequently sheriff's of Norfolk, are of ancient French descent, and were long of distinction in Lincolnshire. During the civil wars, they were great royalists, and lost in consequence a large share of their property. An anecdote of one is perhaps deserving of note. "He raised £30,000 for CHARLES I. and when Cromwell heard of it, he said, surely the family of Cony will not grudge £30,000 also to the Commonwealth," and he made them pay it. Lineage. The Sicklemores were of considerable importance during the eventful period of the civil war, when they represented the county of Suffolk and borough of Ipswich in parliament, and ever maintained an inviolable attachment to monarchial institutions, for which they suffered severely by the confiscation of the greater portion of their property. They continued however faithful to the STEWARTS, shared in all their misfortunes, followed them in their exile, and to the last proved themselves the honourable supporters of the illfated family of James.
