Lady Anne Barley, Lady Grey

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Barley

Henry Barley, born about 1487, was the son of William Barley (1451–1521) of Albury, Hertfordshire, and Elizabeth Darcy (died 1520), the daughter of Sir Robert Darcy of Danbury, Essex. He had three sisters:

Ann Barley (died after 1 Oct 1557), who married first Sir Robert Sheffield (ca. 1462-1518); secondly, Sir John Grey, who was the son of the 1st Marquis of Dorset; and lastly, Sir Richard Clement of Ightman Mote, Kent (d. 1538).

Anne Barlee, Anne Sheffield, Lady Anne Grey, Anne Clement This entry is taken from W. H. Challen's "Lady Anne Grey" in the January 1963 Notes and Queries, in which he sorts out the marriages of Anne Jerningham and Anne Barlee, both of whom were entitled to use the name Lady Anne Grey. Anne Barlee (Barley, Barlow, Barlie, Barliegh) was the daughter of William Barlee of Albury, Herfordshire (c.1451-1521) and Elizabeth Darcy. She was married three times and in each case was her husband’s second wife. Her first husband was Sir Robert Sheffield (d. 1519). Her second was Sir John Grey, son of the 1st Marquis of Dorset. His date of death is unknown, but his will, dated March 3, 1523, names Anne as his executor. Her third husband was Sir Richard Clement of Ightham Mote, Kent (d.1538). His first wife died in 1528, so their marriage must be dated after that. In spite of her clear identification in the will of the second Marquis of Dorset, which calls her “my sister Lady Anne Grey, wife to my brother John Lord Grey and now wife to Richard Clemente,” she is called the daughter of the first Marquis of Dorset in Collins’s Peerage and this mistake has been repeated in many places since. Anne Barlee’s will is dated October 1, 1557 and was proved May 7, 1558. She asked to be buried at Albury with a tomb of marble or white alabaster.
