More Cecil descents in Tufton family

Legg inn av wjhonson » 19 apr 2007 22:42:38

Yesterday I happened to be looking for one thing and found something
quite different but useful.

There is online in Google Books
http://books.google.com/books?vid=04gg- ... 2#PPA48,M1
"Memorials of the family of Tufton, Earls of Thanet", page 48

Which goes into some detail about many things, but in particular for
me, about descends from Nicholas Tufton, 1st Earl of Thanet who
married Frances Cecil

There is great and wide confusion online among various sources over
exactly who some of these descendents married, but I want to touch on
one particular one of interest perhaps to people studying the DRAX
family.

It is said that Frances Tufton married "Sir Henry Drax" and nothing
more on that subject. In review I find several people of this name,
but only two who could possibly be her husband. Frances Tufton is
claimed in the Patron Sheets of the IGI to have died in 1665.

I find the allegation of marriage license
http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse. ... o_it=21416
"Marriage Licenses Issued by the Faculty Office, 1632-1714"

16 Feb 1664/5 Drax, Henry Tufton, Frances

It just so happens that sources claim *a* Henry Drax married Dorothy
Lovelace and I find

http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse. ... o_it=21416
"Kent: Canterbury - Marriage License allegations, Dean of Westminster,
1558-1699 and Vicar-General of the Archbishop of Canterbury, 1660 to
1679"

"25 Sep 1666 Thomas Shetterden, of Hatfield, Herts, Gent., Widr, about
31, & Mrs Elizabeth Drax, of [blank], Middx., Spr, about 17; consent
of her brother Henry Drax & her uncle William Drax, Esquires, her
guardians; at Islington or Highgate, Middlesex.

"21 Jul 1671 Henry Drax of Southampton Buildings, Midx., Esq, Widr,
abt 30, & Dorothy Lovelace, of Little Queen Street, sd co, Spr, abt
21; her mother's consent; at Chelsea, Midx"


For particular note to THIS newsgroups which keeps its eyes open for,
among other things, Colonists with proven ancestry we have this

Since Frances Tufton's marriage was arranged *while* both her parents
were living, John Tufton, 2nd Earl of Thanet and Margaret Sackville,
Baroness Clifford suo jure one would *think* that perhaps Henry Drax,
who then must have been aged about 24, or his family, must have been
some people of note, but I cannot determine what.

Maybe someone has some notes on Henry Drax or his father, also I
believe named Henry Drax (and thus the confusion) that could reveal
why he is here marrying, albeit a fourth daughter, but still a woman
of quite detailed ancestry, having several Earldoms in her *immediate*
family.
