Anne married secondly Theophilus Eaton, merchant, diplomat, and, later, one of the founders and the first governor of the New Haven Colony. The Eatons emigrated to New England in 1637, aboard the Hector of London, along with the Yale family.[7][8]
He was consecrated as Bishop of Sodor and Man in 1600.[9][10] Although this bishopric was not a lucrative one, and he even commented on the "smallness of the Bishopricke".[2] Despite this, the appointment was a significant promotion and stepping stone to a more prominent position in England.
Like most of his predecessors, Lloyd rarely visited the Isle of Man and there is only one recorded visit in 1603 where he attended a Consistory Court where several offenders against the spiritual law were punished.[11]
In 1605 he exchanged the seat of Sodor and Man for that of Chester, the Chester Cathedral and was consecrated in January. A former lecturer at Chester Cathedral, he was tolerant of Puritan views in his diocese.[12]
In local politics, he opposed Robert Whitby, a nominee of Lord Ellesmere, the Lord Chancellor, as clerk of the Pentice, who was building a family factional position in the city.[13] His residence in Chester was at Bishop Lloyd's House.
He died 1 August 1615, and was buried in Chester cathedral, where he is commemorated by a mural inscription. In the year of his death he bought Pant Iocyn, near Wrexham, formerly the residence of the Almer family, which remained the home of his family till 1634.[14]
