Joyce Burton

Seen as child of Thomas Cressett of Upton & Jane Corbet

With regard to the church of St Eata, Atcham, Shropshire: “The only monument of note is that of Jocosa Burton, an incised slab brought from Old St. Chad’s, Shrewsbury, and dated 1524[1].

From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Burton-320

“Joyce has been suggested in various Pedigrees to be a Griffin, a Cressett and a Coyney. On balance, the most plausible evidence is that of the arms on the Monument now at Atcham, Shropshire, indicating that she was a Coyney.”

Disputed Origins

Richardson[8] indicated that the Joyce who married first Ralph Lane and second Edward Burton was the daughter of Robert Cressett and Christian Stapleton.

Burke[2] referred to the Joyce depicted with Edward Burton on his monument as Joyce Coyney but noted that his first wife was Joyce Griffin, daughter of Harry Griffin Esq.

On balance, the most plausible evidence is that of the arms on the Monument now at Atcham, Shropshire, indicating that one of his wives was a Coyney with mother Stapleton; and that one of his wives (probably his last wife) was a Joyce who was previously married to Ralph Lane.

Is it possible that he was married to three different women named Joyce?
