| Notes |
- Will of Margarett Martin, Widow of Athelhampton, Dorset 26 April 1611 PROB 11/117
Nicholas Wadham's three sisters are all commemorated on brasses: Joan on that of her first husband, Sir Giles Strangeways at Melbury Sampson, Dorset; Margaret, wife of Nicholas Martin, at Piddletown, Dorset (q.v.); and, Florence, the wife of John Wyndham (d. 1572), at St. Decumen's Church, Somerset (q.v.).21
.... Nicholas, who married Dorothy Petre and with her founded Wadham College, Oxford, died without issue in 1609, leaving three sisters as coheirs.
One third of the manor passed to Joan, wife of Giles Strangways (d. 1562) and descended successively to two grandsons, Giles (d.1623) and Sir John Strangways (d.1666). Sir John was followed by his second son Giles (d.1675) and Giles by his second son Thomas. Thomas died in 1713 and his son, also Thomas, in 1726. ...
One third share passed to Florence, wife of John Wyndham, and descended like Orchard Wyndham (fn.73) to Charles Wyndham, earl of Egremont (d. 1763)...
One third of the manor passed to Margaret, wife of Nicholas Martin, and was divided among her four heirs on her death in 1610, namely her daughters Elizabeth, wife of Sir Thomas Hamon, Frances, wife of Thomas White, and Anne, widow of Anthony Floyer, and her grandson (Sir) Edward Richards, son of the fourth daughter Jane. (fn.75)

In my continuing series on the extra medieval ancestry of Sarah
Ferguson, we see on Leo's excellent website here
<http://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00233182&tree=LEO>
...Leo here shows that William Floyer ascends to William Floyer and his
wife Margaret Lawrence, but William Floyer has further ascent.
The William who married Margaret Lawrence was the grandson of that Anthony Floyer who married Anne Martin "fourth daughter and co-heiress of her father" Nicholas Martin, esq of Athelhampstone, co Dorset by his wife Margaret Wadham.
Margaret Wadham in turn was "one of the three sisters and co-heiresses of Nicholas Wadham, founder of Wadham College"
Nicholas Wadham, born in 1532, died 20 Oct 1609 d.s.p. although
married to Dorothy Petre in 1555, dau of Sir William Petre by Gertrude Tyrrell.
