Notes for William Chaumpneys
William’s idenitification as the father of Agnes, the wife of Sir Adam Fraunceys, is weak. However this assertion is in the 1574 visitation of Kent and William’s will does mention a daughter Agnes. The trouble with the Visitation is that, while signed by the armiger, it refers to people of 6 generations before the armiger.
Further in the modern published Calendar of the Caurtulary of Adam Fraunceys, the author S J O’Connor, includes no suggestion of Agnes’ parentage. He may not have been aware of this visitation entry or he may have been aware of it and thought it unreliable.
His will refers to two wives, Agnes and Alice, in that aorder apparently. It is tempting to speculate that Agnes was the mother of Agnes but it sounds as if the unmarried daughters were all young and thus the children of the second wife, Alice,
So I cannot say who was Agnes’ mother.
