“Elizabeth Russell, the elder sister, was married, in 1503, to Nicholas Boreman or Bowerman, Esq. lord of Brook and Austerborne or Osborne, in the Isle of Wight, whose mother, Dame Joanna, had the honour of entertaining King Henry the Seventh at her mansion, when he visited the island in the August of 1499, with so much hospitality, that the monarch complimented her on his departure with the present of his antique drinking-horn, and a warrant for a fat buck of the season, to be annually delivered, during her life, out of his forest at Carisbrook, —a record still, it is said, preserved by her lineal descendant, who continues to bear the arms of his primogenitors, Ermine, on a bend coticed sable three boars’ heads erased or, langued gules.
The second daughter, Thomasine, became the wife of Robert, the sixth son of Sir Thomas Hussey, of Shapwick, Dorset, by Christiana, daughter of Sir John Fitz-James, of Redlinch, Somerset. He had seven sisters. His ancestry are found to have acted a distinguished part in our baronial annals, claiming for their first rpogenitor that Hubert Hussee who married Helen, daughter of Richard, duke of Normandy, and came over the the conquest of this kingdom from his fief near Cherbourg.” [1]
Elizabeth was still alive in 1528. [2]
