  • PHILIP BOTELER, ESQ., son and heir of Sir Philip by Elizabeth Cokayne, was one of the executors of Sir Hugh Willoughby Kt. of Wollaton, Notts, whose Will is dated 15th Sept. 1443.(40)
  • JOHN BOTELER, son and heir of Philip, was Sheriff of Essex and Herts in 1490, and was still living on 29th Nov. 1491. .... his widow Constance Vere died at Astwell on 16the May 1499. (See p. 55.) Constance is wrongly described in both the Histories of Hertfordshire as the daughter of . . . . . Downhall of Geddington, but her real parentage is stated on her monument, and is shown in the pedigree at p. 51.

  • With regard to Elizabeth Boteler, Mr. Baker simply states that Thomas Lovett, Esq., of Astwell, married to his first wife Elizabeth, daughter of John Boteler, Esq., of Watton Woodhall, Herts; but I observe that (Idem. Vol. i. p. 730.) there is in Wappenham Church (the parish of which Astwell is a hamlet) a brass to the memory of "Constance, late the wife of John Boteler, Esq., and sister to Henry Vere, Esq., who died May 16, 1499:" this lady, I conjecture was the mother of Elizabeth Boteler, afterwards Lovett; and her daughter must have been heir to her mother, as the arms of Vere and Green are quartered on her grandson Thomas Lovett's tombstone in the same church; as well as on another monument of the Lovetts, the inscription of which is now obliterated. The pedigree of the Botelers in Clutterbuck (Hert, vol.ii. p. 475.) does not give this marriage; but John Boteler, Esq., of Watton Woodhall, who was of full age in 1456, and whose first wife Elizabeth died Oct. 28, 1471, is said to have married to his second wife Constance, daughter of ___ Downhall of Gedington, Co. Northamptonshire. Can this be the lady buried at Wappenham? She was the mother of John Boteler, Esq., of Watton Woodhall, Sheriff of Herts and Essex in 1490; and therefore her daughter would not be entitled to transmit her arms to her descendants. Or could the last-mentioned John Boteler, who died in 1514, have had another wife besides the three mentioned in Clutterbuck? There can be no question that one of the two John Botelers of Watton Woodhall married Constance de Vere, as the marriage is mentioned on the monument at Wappenham. I hope some of your genealogical readers may examine this point. ______________________
