Pilkington one of the Musicians be∣longing sometimes to Qu. Henrietta Maria; who being a most ex∣cellent Artist, his memory was celebrated by many Persons, parti∣cularly by Sir Aston Cockaine Baronet, who hath writtena his funeral Elegy and his Epitaph. The said Tho. Pilkington died at Wolverhampton in Staffordshire aged 35, and was buried there in the times of rebellion or usurpation.
