Agnes Spencer

===Notes

From the Will dated 15 September 1496 and proved 25 January 1497, of John Spencer (d. 4 January 1497) of Hodnell, Warwickshire: [http://www.oxford-shakespeare.com/Probate/PROB_11-11-147.pdf PDF]

According to the will of Sir John Spencer (d. 14 April 1522), the testator’s younger, brother, Thomas Spenser, had several sons by Margaret Smyth. Nothing appears to be known of any of these sons apart from the eldest, William Spencer of Badby, who married Agnes Heritage, sister of John Heritage (c.1470-c.1536), and daughter of Roger Heritage (d.1495) of Burton Dassett, Warwickshire. William Spencer of Badby and Agnes Heritage had three sons, Thomas Spencer (d. 17 August 1576); John Spencer of Thame (who married Alice Wilmer, sister of William Wilmer); and Giles Spencer (who married a wife whose name is unknown, by whom he had two daughters, Millicent and Susan); and three daughters, Julian Spencer (died c.1558) (wife of William Wilmer (d.1551) of Ryton-on-Dunsmore, Warwickshire, son of Richard Wilmer, for whose will, dated 22 June 1527 and proved 12 July 1527, see TNA PROB 11/22/370); Margery Spencer (wife of Thomas Judkyn of Weedon Bec, Northamptonshire, son of Robert Judkyn (1485-1534) of Brixworth); and Agnes Spencer (wife of Thomas Higginson of Berkswell, Warwickshire, for whose will, dated 29 November 1573 and proved 10 February 1574, see TNA PROB 11/56/81).
