Re: For MAR: Freville, Bury, Haselden, Hutton

Your previous post suggests to me that Elizabeth Haselden married
Richard Bury of Hengrange, Berkshire and that they were the likely
parents of Haseldon Bury. Haseldon Bury, nephew of William Marshall, was
married to a daughter of James Hutton, so was a full adult. William
Marshall also names Jane Haseldon as his sister, and Beatrice Frevell as
his niece. Someone else said Elizabeth and Beatrice Haselden were
daughters of Anthony Haselden, whose will was proved 1st June 1527.

If this is the same Beatrice Haselden, who married Robert Fravell, then
if Beatrice was his niece, then so was Elizabeth, which makes her
presumed son Haselden his great-nephew.

Correct - William Marshall's sister, Jane, married Anthony Haselden (d
1527) and had four children:

(1) William Haselden, his father's heir, died 1537 without issue
(2) (son), dead without issue by 1527 as not mentioned in his father's
will - we know of his existence because his father's monumental brass
shows idents for two sons
(3) Elizabeth
(4) Beatrice, probably posthumous but certainly post-testamentary, born
circa 1527; married by 1547 Robert Freville (sic), son and heir of John
Freville of Little Shelford, Cambs.

Elizabeth, as noted, married (as his second wife, if I recall
correctly) Richard Bury of Bedfordshire. They had issue, at least one
son, Haselden.

However, I believe that Richard predeceased Elizabeth and she married
secondly James Hutton - i.e. the reference to Haselden Bury's
"father-in-law" in 1558 means his step-father. This would then make
sense of the following from the VCH Cambs, sub Litlington (manor of
Huntingfields) [Vol. 8 p 57] which says:

"By 1386 acquired by Thomas Haselden; [descended to] Anthony Haselden
(d 1527) whose only son William died under age in 1537. William's
heirs were his sisters Elizabeth and Beatrice... in 1547 Francis
Haselden's daughter Frances and her husband Sir Robert Peyton resettled

the manor on Elizabeth and Beatrice and their husbands James Hutton
(sic) and Robert Freville who took a moiety each [NB the reference for
this last statement is Cal. Pat. R. 1547-8 pp 49-50 which refers to
Elizabeth's husband as Richard Bury, not James Hutton - MA-R]. In 1565
both couples sold their shares."

James Hutton may well have been the son of Thomas Hutton of Dry Drayton
(he had four sons, three of whose names are known to me - John, Thomas
and Robert - and his father was James); if so, he was a first cousin of
Elizabeth's brother-in-law Robert Freville, as Thomas Hutton had
married Robert's aunt Anne Freville.
