Biography

Grace Dryden was the daughter of Rev. Stephen Dryden, Gent., of Bulwick, Northamptonshire, and Ellen Neale.^[1][2] Her date of birth is unknown and is estimated by her marriage year.

Marriage

Grace Dryden married at Bulwick, Northamptonshire on 5 June 1624 (by petition dated 3 June 1624) Kenelm Cheseldine, Gent., clerk, son of Edward Cheseldyne of Uppingham, Rutland and Bridget Faulkner.^[1][2] They had five sons and two daughters, including:

• Thomas^[1]
• Kenelm, Esq., second son^[1]
• Stephen^[1]

Death

It is unknown when or where Grace died. Her husband died in 1667.^[1]

Grace was not specifically named in her father's will of December 1636, but her husband "my son "Chiseldyn" was a legatee as well as appointed one of the executors.^[3] This could mean Grace was deceased by that 1636, as Stephen did name his "daughter Warren". He also names his "son Harper" (husband of Mary). However omission from being named in the will is not enough to assume Grace and Mary pre-deceased their father. He may have named "daughter Warren" because her husband was deceased. More research into this family is needed.
