Notes for John Sturry: From "The Sterry Family" : "The Sturrys of Shropshire:...'the Sturry family of Shropshire belonged to the landed gentry, having acquired through marriage the estate of Rossall in the 1300s. According to Burke's History of the Commoners (2:671), which cites an 'Extract from the History of Shrewsbury and Maheway's Sheriffs,' Sir John de Rossall died without issue and his estates passed to his sisters, one of whom was married to a Sturry of Shrewsbury, Shropshire. Burke called the estate thus acquired by the Sturry family "Down Russall," whereas a contemporaneous entry in local church records called it the 'Isle Rossall' (Shropshire is landlocked). "According to one source (Collinson's Somerser, 1:263), a Sturry family in the period 1375-1415 (the reigns of Edward III and Henry IV owned estates in Northamptonshire, which presumably was a part of the same family. A reliable English genealogist has told the writer that the family emerges also in Devonshire in the 1600s (under the spelling 'Sture,' a common variation of Sturry at that time). Instances of confusion between 'Sturry' and 'Sterry' elsewhere in England are noted in the chapter on the origin of the name. "As explained...the coat of arms of the Sturry family is: argent, a lion rampant purpure double queued. "One Sturry line, running from about 1420 to 1623, is given in the record of a hearld's visitation to Shropshire of 1584- 1623...The line goes as follows, with supplementation in the case of later generations from parish records. 1. John Sturry was b. about 1420; he m. Anne, dau. of sir Roger Corbet of Mouerton, Shropshire, who d. 1468; Anne's eldest brother was Sir Richard Corbet, who d. 1495.
