Mary Gates

Edward's children were: Mary, married Peter Gates, had issue; Henry, no issue; John; Thomas, no issue; Winifred, mar ried John Syday, had issue; Jane; Dorothy, married Richard Stebbins; Anne, married Lovett, had issue. Thus there is a double connection of the Gates line with the Josselyns. Dame Dorothy (will 1579) was the daughter of Sir Jeffrey of High Roding, by his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Sir William Clopton, of Kentwell, Suffolk. Her brother Jeffrey was the grandfather of Peter who married her granddaughter Mary. Her other brothers played a prominent part in the attempt to fix Lady Jane Grey upon the throne. The eldest brother, Sir John, chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, was put to death as Dudley's chief supporter in August, 1553; the brother Henry, involved in the same charges, does not seem to have suffered death ; for he is the executor of his sister's willary and her husband Peter appear to be second cousins.
