Thomas Cheke of Pirgo / Essex Rich

Legg inn av Gjest » 02 feb 2007 19:46:02

It has been known that Thomas Cheke and Essex Rich had at least, or exactly,
three daughters, towit: Essex, Frances and Anne

Frances is "said to have" married Lancelot Lake who d 1646 (erroneously
reported on stirnet as d 1680, but see DNB for Thomas Lake, Secretary of State, his
father)

Essex married Edward Montague, 2nd Earl of Manchester "aet 15 in 1618"

Anne married Robert Rich, 3rd Earl of Warwick

You would think with such illustrious connections, their own lifes would be
widely known, but I don't find good details, looking at the usual suspects.

Now I provide their baptisms from Saint Martin in the Fields, Westminster
There are only three Cheke's in this time period baptised there, and they are
exactly these three girls
Frances 11 Feb 1617
Essex 7 Apr 1618
Anne 14 Jun 1620

Hopefully knowing the order and ages can help in further defining the family
of Thomas Cheke who is currently, in my database a bit of a mystery person. I
have his ancestors for the most part, but almost nothing on *him* himself.

A marriage of cousins german and giving no sons and then some of the
lines of the next generation died out.

Many thanks for these.

The Chekes descended from a wine merchant of Cambridge town. There is a
theory hanging around that they had some line from a lord Montagu, a
Cheke ancestor having married a Montagu daughter. I was referred to p.
61 of Morant's "Havering".
