Biography

“A pedigree of Wayte, of Segenworth, near Tichfield Abbey, and of Wayte’s Court in Brighstone, in the Isle of Wight, also registered in the same visitation, is printed in Berry’s Hampshire Pedigrees. John Wayte, Esq., was sheriff of the county in 1397. The coat of arms assigned to this family corresponds in the charges and tinctures with the shields at Stoke Charity. This is probably a branch of the family of Edward Wayte, who died about 1447, of Barton-Stacey, Hants, in right of his wife, Margaret, daughter and heir of Philip Popham, of Barton-Stacey. They had issue Thomas Wayte of Barton-Stacey, who died in 1449 [Escheats 27, H. VI. No. 12] and was buried in the Temple Church, London, s.p., when he was succeeded in Barton Stacey by his two sisters, Matilda, wife of William Viall, and Margaret, who died 2nd February, 1461 [Esc. 1 R. III. No. 1], wife of John Long of Draycot-Cerne, Wilts, and ancestress of the Longs of Draycot, Semington, Wraxall and North Bradley.

Another member of the family was William Wayte, of Wymering, under Portsdown Hill, who married Anne, one of the four sisters and co-heirs of Edward Mompesson, of Bathampton-Wylly, in the parish of Steeple-Langford, and of Seagry, Wilts. Their daughter and heir, Elizabeth Wayte, brought the manor of Seagry to her husband, Sir Richard Norton, Kt., Kt., of Rotherfield, Hants, who died in 1592.” ^[1]
