He died two years later.

He amassed a considerable fortune, which he left to his brother Francis, who was appointed joint Clerk of the Crown and Hanaper in Ireland in about 1606 and held the office until about 1620. Francis founded a gifted Irish dynasty whose most notable members were Richard Lovell Edgeworth and his daughter, the novelist Maria Edgeworth. The family gave its name to Edgeworthstown, County Longford.
