411 happy she. | Here issue thrice blessed in her memory; | All that was mortal in her and could die | lies here, her soul lives to eternity."

Unfortunately, no authority is given for the statement that her mother was married twice only, and first to Francis Ham. She was, in fact, the wife of Sir Robert Wright of Richmond, and was buried as "Dame Dorothy Wright" there on 17 Aug., 1638. Nor does Mr. Chancellor tell us why he conjectures it is easier to inherit matchless merit and good and great things from a mother-in-law than a mother.

In the same book, on p. 185, Sir Wright is referred to as a brother of Sir George; so that, if this were the case, their sister Rebecca would have married her nephew, which seems a little improbable. I give an abstract of Sir Robert Wright'swill, and a pedigree from the 'Visitation of Surrey' and other sources:—
