Biography
Elizabeth was a daughter of Roger Lewknor of Broadhurst and his first wife Camoys-13. Her birth date is not known, but, her marriage settlement was made in 1456, so it may have been about 1440.[1][2] His mother was born in about 1408 and was said to have died in 1445,[3] so Elizabeth will not have been born after 1445; and her son John was born in about 1460 so she was old enough to be of child-bearing age in about 1459.[1][2] Her birthplace is uncertain: her father had interests in a number of counties.[3]
Elizabeth married John Wroth of Durants, Enfield, Middlesex.[1][2][4] The marriage settlement was made on 8 May 1456.[1][2] They had one son:
Elizabeth's death date is not known.
Research Notes
Visitations
Elizabeth does not appear in the Lewknor pedigree in the Harleian Society edition of the Visitations of Sussex.[5]
The 1878 Harleian Society edition of the Visitations of Essex has a muddled Wroth pedigree. It does not give Elizabeth's first name but says that a daughter of a Sir Thomas Lewknor married a a William or Thomas Wroth and that they were the parents of Robert and Elizabeth, wife of Sir John Jermy.[6]
Frederick William Weaver's edition of Visitations of Somerset (with additions of his own) ascribes to Elizabeth a first marriage to someone with the last name Peckham.[7]
