- John, the eldest son of John Bernard and Margaret Daundelyn, was only in his eighteenth year when he lost his father, and in all likelihood he had already lost his mother. Even if placed under guardianship for a short time, he must have achieved complete independence with his majority, and would seem to have taken advantage of his liberty to 'marry for love' — a rare event in those days. Or perhaps, while fancying that he was asserting his rights, the young squire was really captured by designing parents. His chosen wife, whoever chose her, was Cicely,1 daughter of John Muscote, of Earl's Barton. Muscote is styled 'gentleman,' 2 not esquire ; this, however, denotes inferiority in estate rather than in blood.

- In the record of John and Cicely Bernard's children there is no longer any difficulty about the names of daughters. They were the parents of four girls as well as of two boys.

- Dorothy, a daughter of the Abington house, was a nun at De la Pré Abbey, on the south side of Northampton, within a short distance of her paternal home, when the order came for its dissolution. .... It seems strange that John and Cicely should have chosen for their child a career which had

- become uncertain and almost perilous ; perhaps they, like many other persons, trusted that all danger was over when the Cardinal died, and gave way to the young girl's own desire for the life of a nun at all hazards.

- Dorothy Bernard evidently remained true to her vows. Husbands are assigned in the pedigrees to the three other daughters of John Bernard,1 but none to her. .... etc.
- 1 1. Elizabeth married John Contyt or Covert ; and, 2ndly, William Dixon.
- 2. Bridget married John Dixon.
- 3. Mary married George Parley or Parley, of co. Lincoln.
- 4. Dorothy, a nun at De la Pré Abbey at the Dissolution.
- The authorities for this list are Baker and The Visitation of Northamptonshire (1618-19). Lipscomb's account is imperfect. This is the order in which Baker arranges the family. The Visitation names Dorothy first, then Mary and Elizabeth, and, lastly, Bridget.

- John Bernard died in 1549, early in the reign of Edward VI. ; Cicely, his wife, in 1557, towards the end of Mary's reign. Some remains of their tombs are still to be seen in Abington Church. .... etc.

- Francis Bernard, the eldest son of John and Cicely, was probably turned thirty at the time of his father's death, and perhaps already married to Alice, daughter of John Haslewood of Maidwell, Northants, Esquire.1 His only brother John married her sister, Mary Haslewood. The mother of these ladies was Alice, daughter of Sir William Gascoyne, Knight. Their paternal grandfather, John Haslewood, is styled 'Master of the Fleete Prison' ; he married Katherine, daughter and heir of William Marmyon, of Kington, Lincolnshire, .... etc.

- .... he escaped trouble by dying in 1559, the year following Queen Elizabeth's accession. But there is some likelihood that Mr. Bernard himself did not yet delight in the new order of things, which at its commencement had rendered his sister Dorothy an outcast, .... etc.
- John Bernard, the younger brother of the Abington squire, had a son Robert ; the pedigree does not carry his line further, nor does it state where he lived ; but it is not unlikely that Robert may have been the grandfather of a distinguished man. Dr. Edward Bernard, born in Northamptonshire, who will be mentioned in a subsequent chapter.1
- Francis Bernard and Alice, his wife, became the parents of twelve children, who lived to be men and women and married. They had also two daughters, who apparently died in their cradles. .... etc. _____________________________
