Re: John Gifford / Elizabeth Throckmorton



Since Sarah does not with to do the extract, I've researched the Sitherwood
book and will type out what it says about this couple.

"Throckmorton Family History being the Record of the Throckmortons in the
United States of America with Cognate Branches", Frances Grimes Sitherwood.
Pantagraph Printing & Stationary, Bloomington, Indiana. 1929 [the year is hard
to read, so I'm not sure this is accurate - wj]

On page 22-23 we see, in the text the following:
"Of the daus of Sir George Throckmorton: Mary, d.s.p.; Anne, wf of John
Digby, Esq; Elizabeth (Katherine?) wf. first of Robert Winter, and second of
Thomas Smith, Esqs; Margaret, wf first of Caresby and afterwards of Brian Cave,
Esqs.; Elizabeth, wf first of John Gifford, (footnote) second of George Peyto,
Esqs.; Mary wf of Sir John Huband, Knt; Elizabeth, Merial and Elizabeth, who
d young"

Then in the footnote we find: "Hampshire. John Gyfford, Esq, heir apparent
to Sir William Gyfford, 1563, and wife Elizth., dau. of Sir George
Throckmorton, with five sons and eight daus., wife and sons lost (?) Mural - (Against the
wall) Altar Tomb, C."

And further: "Gloucestershire-Hampshire, Weston-sub Edge, William Hodges,
1590; he married the dau. of Sir George Throckmorton of Kaughton (Coughton), and
widow of John Gifford, Esq., of Weston-under-Edge." (Monumental Brasses,
British Isles, Part II, Rev H. Haines)
