    THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES PROB 11/99/135 1 ________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY: The document below is the Prerogative Court of Canterbury copy of the will, dated 20 February 1597 and 13 July 1601, and proved 19 February 1602, of Mary (nee Matthew) Wolley Langton Judde Altham (d. 15 January 1602), whose granddaughter, Cecilia Baynham, married Sir William Throckmorton, a first cousin of Mary (nee Tracy) Hoby Vere, wife of Oxford’s first cousin, Horatio Vere. The testatrix’ first husband appears to have been Thomas Wolley, who had a business partnership with Thomas Bacon, brother of Lord Burghley’s brother-in-law, Sir Nicholas Bacon. FAMILY BACKGROUND The testatrix was the daughter and heir of Thomas Matthew, esquire, of St James, Colchester, Essex. See the will of Thomas Matthew, ERO D/ABW 25/35, and the WikiTree profile for the testatrix at: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Mathew-325 See also the entry for the testatrix at: http://www.tudorwomen.com/?page_id=695 In 1558 the testatrix was granted a coat of arms. See Fox-Davies, Arthur Charles, A Complete Guide to Heraldry, (New York: Gramercy Books, 1993), pp. 574-5 at: http://www7b.biglobe.ne.jp/~bprince/hr/foxdavies/fdguide35.htm MARRIAGES AND ISSUE Testatrix’ first marriage The testatrix married firstly a husband surnamed Wolley, likely the London grocer, Thomas Wolley. In his will, the testatrix’ second husband, Thomas Langton (d.1551), mentions ‘Thomas Bacon, citizen and salter of London’, and appoints him overseer. The History of Parliament entry for Thomas Bacon (c.1505 – 1573 or later), states that he had a business partnership with Thomas Wolley.
