Alice Oxenbridge

Biography She was the daughter of Thomas Fogge and Eleanor Browne. She passed away about 1583.

“ALICE FOGGE (c.1508-c.1583) Alice Fogge was the daughter and co-heiress of Sir Thomas Fogge of Ash, Kent (d. August 16, 1512), porter of Calais, and Eleanor Browne (c.1491-1560+). In A General History of the Kemp and Kempe Families of Great Britain and Her Colonies it is stated that Alice was only twelve when she was betrothed to the son of Sir William Scott, who paid £200 for the grant of her custody until she was fourteen and could give her consent. Alice married twice, first to Edward Scott of the Moat, Sussex (c.1478-November 1535) and second, by 1543, to Sir Robert Oxenbridge of Winchelsea and Brede, Sussex (1509-November 17, 1574). They had at least three children, Robert (d.1574+), Catherine (d.1574+) and another daughter, and possibly as many as fourteen children, since there are fourteen figures on the Oxenbridge tomb. She inherited Hurstbourne Priors, Hampshire from her second husband and was one of the executors of his will. In a letter to Lord Burghley dated August 6, 1582, when she was dying, she asked that her eldest son, William Scott, be released from prison. He was being held in the White Lion “for his conscience.” Her other children by Edward Scott were Thomas, Jane, and Anne. Portrait: effigy in St. Andrew's Church, Hurstbourne Priors, Hampshire.” [1]
