• The will of this Nicholas is dated on the feaft of St. Thomas the apoftle, 1513, wherein he bequeaths his body to be buried in the chapel of St. Mary [f] in the church of Outwell amongft his anceftors; to Henry his brother ccx. per ann. out of his manors of Beaupre, Southall, &c. and his fon Edmund to enter in the faid manors, &c. when he comes to the age of 21 years, and to him and his heirs, and in default thereof, to Nicholas his fon; to the faid Nicholas his manor of Northall in Wefingham; mentions his daughter Margery, coufin Fincham, and coufin Munford, proved the 24th of January 1514, --and the faid Margaret, died [g] the 20th of February, in the 6th year of Henry VIII. feifed of Brockley in Suffolk, and Edmund was her fon and heir, 13 years old, which Edmund married Margery, daughter of Sir John Wifeman, of Great Thornham in Suffolk, and Elizabeth his wife, as appears from the will of the faid Elizabeth, (then his widow) dated the 4th of October, 1548, wherein mention is made of this Margery, and her four daughters, by the faid Edmund; Catherine, Elizabeth, Mary, and Ann, who were then all alive, and was proved the laft day of October 1551 -- His 2d wife was Katherine, daughter of Philip Bedingfeld, Efq; This Edmund, dyed the 14th of February 1567, and by the marriage, (as 'tis faid) of 'Dorothy, another daughter and coheir, to Sir Robert Bell, this manor of Beaupre was vefted in that family'. In the will of lady Wifeman abovementioned, this 'Dorothy is not mentioned', the daughters of Edmund Beaupre there mentioned, I find from feveral antient pedigrees to be thus difpofed of, Catherine, married Edmund Wright, - - - - -; Elizabeth dyed young; Mary married Richard Berwick; and Ann married Nicholas Wright. Spilman fays that this 'Dorothy [b] was by the late wife of Winter, (*) but does not further explain himfelf. It appears that fhe was married to Bell on the 15th of October 1559, which is about eleven years after the date of the lady Wifeman's will. Sir Robert Bell was fpeaker of the houfe of commons A'. 14 Elizabeth, was chief baron of the exchequer, and dyed of the peftelential vapour, at Oxford, at the affizes there in 1577, which seftroyed alfo the high fheriff, moft of the grand jury, and above 300 more, and his widow was married to Sir John Peyton, lord Lieutenant of the tower of London'.
