It was on Peregrine's estate at Willoughby, Lincolnshire that the parents of John Smith of Jamestown rented a farm which was the site of John's birth.
He served in these capacities, and also in the House of Lords, gaining the additional position of Lord Warden and Justice in Eyre until his death in 1742.
