Biography

Mary Norton was daughter of Sir Richard Norton of Tisted in Hampshire, ^[1]and his wife, Katherine Kingsmill.

She married Sir William Uvedale of Wickham, ^[1] son of William Uvedale and his wife, Ellyn Gresham.

In 1607 William settled on her the borough of Wickham for life which passed to her on his death in 1616. ^[2] By 1626 Wickham was in the hands of her son, William, ^[2] which perhaps means that Mary had died by then.

Mary shares a monument with William at St Nicholas Church, Wickham. The monument suggests that they were parents of four daughters and three sons, one of whom died young. ^[3]

Research note

The review of Thomas Benolt's Visitation of Hampshire ^[4] and Barry's Hants Pedigrees ^[5] both mistakenly show William, Mary's husband, as son of his actual grandfather, Arthur Uvedale and his grandmother,Anne Haselwood.
