Catherine Strode

Catherine married Sir Richard STRODE of Newnham & of Chalmington, son of Sir William STRODE Kt. and Mary SOUTHCOTT.

(Richard STRODE was born on 25 Jun 1584 in "Newnham Manor", Plympton St., Mary, Devon, England, christened on 1 Jul 1584, died in Oct 1669 in "Newnham Manor", Plympton St., Mary, Devon, England and was buried on 9 Oct 1669.)

Sir Richard Strode (1584-1670) married 3 times:

1st. to Catherine daughter and co-heir of Sir Robert STRODE of Parnham Dorset by whom he had 3 daughters:

Elizabeth baptised Beaminster 23 Sep 1605 (when he appears to have been in the Militia);

Frances whose baptism has not been located and perhaps was baptised in Holy Trinity in Dorchester; and,

Catheryn also baptised in Beaminster on 20 January 1608/9. 

Unfortunately Lady Catheryn appears to have been buried there the same day so presumably died during childbirth.
