"In 1540 Richard Fauconer died seised of Hurstbourne Fauconers, which passed to his son Richard, who died in 1551, (fn. 61) leaving three sisters, Elizabeth, Margaret and Alice, heirs of his property, (fn. 62) while his wife Frances held one-third during her lifetime. (fn. 63) Of these Elizabeth married Thomas Yate and left a son Francis, who in 1563 sold his third part of the manor to Richard Kingsmill, who had married Alice on the death of her first husband William Wroughton. (fn. 64) In 1574 Richard settled the property upon his second wife Elizabeth Stonehouse with remainder to Constance wife of Sir Thomas Lucy, his daughter by his first wife. He died seised of two-thirds of the manor, designated 'the manor,' in 1600. (fn. 65)"

Sir Robert Oxenbridge, who died in 1638, was seised of one-third of the manor, leaving it to his kinsman Edward Oxenbridge. This third was probably the third which had passed to Margaret Kingsmill and her husband, William Sotwell (W. and L. Inq. p.m. bdle. 55, no. 122; Berry, Hants Gen. 239). This third evidently passed to the Wallop family and became merged in the manor of Hurstbourne Priors. Robert Oxenbridge, as elder brother and heir of the abovementioned Edward, who died in 1639, attempted to make good his claim to the third, but it does not appear that he was successful (Chan. Bills and Answers, Misc. [Ser. 1], pt. xiii, no. 105)."

The aforementioned Hurstbourne Priors parish history was cited by the following article which provides additional conclusive evidence that Thomas Yate (d. 1565) married: 1st, Elizabeth (d. before 1562/63), daughter and co-heiress of Richard Fauconer of the manor of Hurstbourne Falconers, Hurstbourne Priors, Hampshire (d. 1540); and 2nd, Ann/Agnes (LNAB Unknown), who died in 1580. It establishes that Elizabeth Fauconer was the mother of Francis Yate. It also establishes that Francis Yate (d. 1588) married first, Frances White, who died in 1569, and secondly Jane Tichbourne, who survived him and was at Lyford Grange when Edmund Campion was arrested in 1581: http://berkshirehistory.com/articles/campion_lyford.html
