About Joan Wadham

  • Wadhams genealogy, proceded by a sketch of the Wadham family in England.. ([c1913])

  • . . . . The heir of this fourth Sir John was Nicholas, and another son was William. Nicholas, like his ancestors, was knighted. He married first, Joan, daughter of Robert Hill, of Halsway, and his heir was another John. Nicholas and Joan had also other children : Andrew ; Giles, who married Agnes, daughter of Clauson of Barton ; Mary, who married Sir Richard Chudleigh of Ashdon ; and Elizabeth, who married first, Sir Edward Bampfield, and second, Richard Warr.
  • Nicholas, four times married, took for his second wife, Margaret, daughter of Sir John Seymour, who was aunt of Queen Jane Seymour, third wife of Henry VHI and sister also to the Protector, Edward, Duke of Somerset. The children of Nicholas and Margaret Seymour were Nicholas and a daughter, Jane. Nicholas was knighted in 1494 "at ye creacion of Prince Henry," then two years old, to be Duke of York. In 1498 he, Sir Nicholas, was made Captain of the Isle of Wight. He was also Sheriff of Somerset and Dorset about 1502.

Somerset, knight, who married Jane, daughter of Robert Hill, of Houndston, Somerset, by Alice, daughter of John or Jenkyn Stourton, of Preston, uncle to Sir John, first Lord Stourton, who had married Margery, daughter of Sir John Wadham, of Merryfield, knight.

  • Alice Stourton, who was aged 7 years in 1439, and from her father she inherited Pendomer Manor, &c., under his settlement and entail as before shewn under his name, which premises were eventually disentailed by her descendant, Henry Daubeney, created Earl of Bridgewater, and sold by him. She married (i) William Daubeney. Lord of Barrington, Co. Somerset, son and heir of Sir Giles Daubeney, knight, and consequently ancestor of Henry Daubeney, created Earl of Bridgewater ; and (2) Robert Hill, of Houndston Manor, Co. Somerset, who died in 1493, seised of that Manor, &c., his arms, impaling those of Stourton, were setup in Dunster Church, (Harl. MS., 1559, fo. 235.) Hoare in his copy of the College of Arms pedigree, says she married, i. — William Daubeney, Esq., and 2.— Robert Hill, although Edmondson only gives the first husband, but the Visitation for Co. Worcester confirmed Hoare, calling her father Jenkin Stourton. Harleian Manuscript 1074, likewise supported these marriages, although wrongly stating her mother to have been Alice Peny, her father's second wife, but this was corrected by the old pedigree of 1509, which added that her first husband was Lord of Baryngton. We find that on the north wall of Little Cheney Church, Co. Dorset, there was erected a monument to the memory of her son, George Daubeney, on which the arms of Daubeney, Stourton, de Bosco, Moyne, &c., appeared on the dexter side. Her daughter, Jane Hill, married Sir Nicholas Wadham, of Merryfield, Co. Somerset, knight, who by his will, of 25th Nov., 1539, proved [15 Spert] 30th Jan., 1542, appointed Roger Fauntleroy an executor, and Lord Stourton an overseer ; and the will of his wife, Dame Jane Wadham, was made 22nd July, 1557, proved [29 Wrastley] 31st August, 1557. We read under Charles, 8th Lord Stourton, of William Fauntleroy and Cecily, his wife, Lessees of Stourton Manor, being illegally disturbed in their possession of that property by the action of this Agnes Rice, whose mother afterwards married the above Henry Daubeney, created Earl of Bridgewater. All the authorities shew that Sir John Stourton, created Baron of Stourton, Co. Wilts., married Margery, daughter of Sir John Wadham, of Merryfield, Co. Somerset, knight. ________________
