Biography

Mary Bellot^[1] alias Bellott^[2]

She was the daughter of Thomas Bellot of Moreton, Cheshire.^{[1] [2]}

Mary was married twice, to:

1. Richard Mynshull of Mynshull, esq,^[2] died 1586;^[1] he was the widower of Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Marbury of Old Warden, Bedfordshire, whose marriage contract was dated 14 February, 1567/8.^[1] Whether Mary or Elizabeth was the mother of Richard's son, John, born 1582-83, buried 14 September, 1654, is uncertain;^[1] and
2. Arthur Starky of Wrenbury, esq,^[1] died 1622;^[2] Mary and Arthur were the parents of:
   1. Lawrence Starkey of Wrenbury, buried 8 December, 1611, married Mary, daughter of John Massey of Coddington, Cheshire, esq.^[2]

After Mary's death, Arthur married Anne, daughter and heir of Edward Hughes.^[2] She was the mother of Mary Massey, the wife of his son Lawrence.^[3]

Research Notes

Arthur's second wife, Anne Hughes, is elsewhere called Mary.^[3] Helsby/Ormerod say she was married to John Massie of Coddington after the death of Arthur Starkey of Wrenbury.^[2] As John died in 1591^[3] and Arthur in 1622,^[2] this is clearly a mistake.
