Henry Vere of Addington

It seems that Henry Vere of Addington died circa 1493. An inventory
of his estate dated that year is contained within the Stopford
Sackville papers in the Northants RO, and Testamenta Vetusta (p 407)
contains a bare summary of his will from that year.

His will names his four daughters: Elizabeth, Anne, Constance and
Audley (sic; recte Audrey) and confirms that he was an esquire, not a
knight. It was proved PCC June 1493 (PROB 11/9).

Futher details of his daughters and coheirs appear here:

PRO C 1/340/43 (dated to between 1504 and 1515)

"John Mordaunt and Elizabeth, his wife, Humphrey Broun and George, his
son, and John Broun and Audrey, his wife. Ex parte: Disputed will of
Edward, late earl of Wilts, to whose mother Constance, countess of
Wilts, the said Elizabeth, Audrey, and Anne, late the wife of the said
Humphrey, daughters of Henry Veer, of Great Addington, were cousins
and heirs; a later nuncupative will being set up to disinherit
complainants: Northants."

These are:

1. Elizabeth Vere, married 1499 John, 1st Lord Mordaunt (d 1562) - see
ODNB; left issue - including the Earls of Peterborough.

2. Audrey Vere, married John Brown; left issue - see Visitation of
Essex, 1612 (but note it is defective in several respects)

3. Anne Vere, dead by 1515; married Sir Humphrey Brown (d 1562); left
issue: a son George, a minor in 1515, issue extinct

The fourth daughter and coheir named in Henry Vere's will may be added
to this list:

4. Constance Vere, dead by 1515, married 1499 John Parr, died 1504.
No issue.

The Topographer and Genealogist, vol III, J.G. Nichols, London, 1858,
p 354 states that John Parr, third son of Sir William Parr, KG, and
uncle of Queen Katherine Parr, married Constance Vere, daughter of Sir
Henry Vere of Addington, on 15 September 1499, but died 8 September
1504 without issue. Presumably his wife was dead without issue by
1515, as she is not named in the PROCAT suit cited above.

(thanks to Will Johnson for alerting me to this)

Edward Stafford, 2nd Earl of Wiltshire, was the son of James Stafford,
1st Earl of Wiltshire (d 1473) by his wife Constance nee Greene - this
is "Constance, Countess of Wiltshire" referred to in the PROCAT
document, whose heirs were Henry Vere's daughters: Henry Vere was the
son of Richard Vere and Isabella Greene.

Countess Constance's IPM from 15 Edward IV [1475-6] is at PRO C
140/54/44.

We see some further particulars of the Vere heirs in VCH Hants, vol 4,
p 360 et seq, sub parish of Grately. This was a manor of the Greene
inheritance, and feel on the death of Constance, Countess of
Wiltshire, to the descendents of her cousins. One moiety fell to the
coheirs of Henry Vere.

NB This account is confused, since it styles Henry a knight [his will
shows he was merely an esquire] and states that he left five
daughters, by failing to recognise that Audrey and Etheldreda were
different versions of the same daughter's name.

That moiety was held by the heirs of Elizabeth Vere and Lord Mordaunt,
Anne Vere and Sir Humphrey Brown, and Audrey Vere and John Brown. In
1577 these heirs joined in a sale of the moiety to George, Lord
Audley, and as parties to that transaction they are named as:

(i) Lewis, 3rd Lord Mordaunt [heir of Elizabeth];
(ii) Wistan Brown [heir of Audrey], and
(iii) Mary, wife of Thomas Wilford; Christian, wife of John Tufton,
and Katherine Brown.

Therefore, we can deduce that Mary and Christian Brown were both
married by 1577, and that Katherine Brown (afterwards wife of Sir
William Roper) married in or after 1577.
