• Few American families have been able to trace their ancestry in England. .... Therefore, the history of the Wentworth family in England as well as America, well authenticated at every step, is a monument to the ability, skill and patience of the family historian, Dr. John Wentworth, as well as a source of satisfaction and pride to all members of the Wentworth family.

Apparently the tomb in the picture is at Wentworth, and therefore, not the tomb of this Thomas, whose family were regularly buried at South Kirkby.

His wife became "in her issue" the sole heiress of the "Mirfields of Mirfield". Howley, which had become the main seat of the Mirfields, was sold to Sir Henry Savile of Thornhill, for his bastard son Robert. The Mirfield manor (the Castle Hall estate) was acquired by the Beaumonts of Lascelles Hall. It's not clear whether it was sold by the Wentworths or had already been sold by the Mirfields.

There seem to have been two daughters, Anne and Isabel. His will mentions neither of them, though it does mention prayers for the soul of his departed son-in-law, Walter Hawksworth.
