Digby question: Katherine (Digby) Umfreville (say 1575-aft.

If anyone has any thoughts or information on the followng, I would be
most grateful.

In my article "The English Origin of John Umfreville of New Haven,
Connecticut," The American Genealogist 72 (January 1997), I
established the patrilineal ancestry of New Haven, Connecticut settler
John Umfreville / Humphreville (1630-al.1720). In so doing, it was
discovered that John's paternal grandmother was a certain Katherine
(Digby) Umfreville (say 1575-aft 1641), wife of Gervase Umfreville, of
Ewell, Surrey.

I did not pursue Katherine (Digby) Umfreville's ancestry in this
article, although the following bare facts are known:

1) KATHERINE DIGBY, born say 1575, died after 1641, probably at Ewell,
Surrey, married about 1600 to GERVASE UMFREVILLE, born say 1570, died
before 1634, probably at Ewell, Surrey. [TAG 72:16-17].

2) JOHN DIGBY, bonr about 1530, died after 1580, probably at London or
at Ravenstone, Derbyshire. He married 12 November 1571 at St Stephen
Coleman St., London to
3) URSULA HALFHIDE. [TAG 72:16-17; St Stephen Coleman Street PR; Middle
Temple Records (1904), p. 81]

4) HENRY DIGBY, born say 1485, died probably either at London or at
Tichmarsh, Northamptonshire. On 2 June 1526 in London, he was married to

5) MARGARET TRICE. [TAG 72:17, n. 14; Boyd, Percival, Citizens of
London (typescript), # 41276; Harleian Society 25:5 (1887); P.C.C.
Fettiplace; St Martin in the Fields PR]

8) BENJAMIN DIGBY, died in 1532 in the parish of St Dionis Backchurch,
London, he married
9) KATHERINE ---. [P.C.C. Thrower; Vis. Norf.; Boyd, Citiznes of
London, # 41276]

16) EVERARD DIGBY, died probably at Stoke Dry, Durham [Vis. Norf.;
Boyd, Citizens of London, # 41276]

Hiya,

John Hutchins, _History and Antiquities of the County of Dorset_,
4:472, is a chart of the Digby family showing that "Everard Digby,
esq., of Tilton, died 1509" married "Jacquetta, daughter of Sir John
Ellis, co. Devon, died 1486" and had, among other children, a seventh
son, "Benjamin [Digby], of Bathley, co. Norfolk, had issue."

John Nichols, _History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester_,
vol. 3, part 1, p. 473, another chart of the Digby family, shows
Everard and Jacquetta (Ellis) Digby with a seventh son, "Benjamin
Digby; see Pedigree V." Flipping over two pages to 475, we find "V.
Pedigree of DIGBY, of LONDON and GARENDON." Benjamin Digby is said to
be "of London," and his wife not named. But his only son is shown as
"Henry Digby, of Garendon" who married "Margaret, dau. of ... Trice,
of London"; this seems to match up with your data.

Thus, it looks like your Benjamin Digby was the seventh son of Everard
and Jacquetta (Ellis) Digby of Drystoke and Tilton.

See p. 111 of http://www.uk-genealogy.org.uk/england/ ... index.html

"Bathley, Norfolk" seems to be another name for Bale.
