The source in Clerke history lists her parents as Sir Henry Knight and Margaret (Heckstall) and the sister of Sir Edward Ferrers of Baddesley Clinton, co. Warwick, and Peckham, c. Kent, Knight (Visitation of Warwickshire, 1619, page5). The visitation of Kent, 1619 erroneously states that Elizabeth, wife of James Clerk, was a daughter of Sir Edward Ferrers; but Sir Edward Ferrers in his will, dated 10 July 1535 (P.C.C., Hogen 29), mentions his daughter Elizabeth as wife of John Hampden and also leaves a legacy to his nephew George Clerke. This correction has been made.
