Biography

Mary was probably born about 1587. Marie was baptised on 11 February 1587 in St Mary Magdalene, Milk Street, City of London, London, England.^[1][2] And this year would place her as 19 years old when she first married.^{[3] [4] [5] [6] [7]}

She was the youngest daughter and coheiress of Sir Baptist Hicks, 1st Viscount of Campden.^[3][4][8]

Mary married Sir Charles Morrison of Cassiobury, Hertfordshire, England on 4 Dec 1606.^[3][4] They had two sons and one daughter. Charles died in 1628; the two sons died within his lifetime (this was a time of plague in London which may have been a factor.)^[3]

Mary subsequently married Sir John Cooper in 1629. He died in 1631. They did not have any children.^[4]

Mary then married Sir Edward Alford^[4] on 11 Dec 1632.^[5] They did not have any children.^{[5] [8]}

Her father's will, made on 12 Oct. 1629, included a number of provisions for charities, but did not mention his younger daughter, then married to Sir John Cooper. However his Tewkesbury property and interest did pass through Mary.^[6]

It appears from Charles Morrison's will that Mary and Charles had a daughter named Elizabeth, born 1613, who married Arthur Cappell (in 1628?).^[7] And that she had a son Henry Capel.^[6]

Mary died in June 1643^[3] or 1639^[5], and was buried in the Isle of Watford parish church.^[5]
