        CATHERINE ST. JOHN (c.1490-December 1553)(Who's Who of Tudor Women)
        Catherine St. John was the daughter of Sir John St. John (1450-1525) and Sybil Morgan (b.1462) and married first, in 1507, Sir Griffith ap Rhys (d. 1521). In 1532 she married Sir Piers Edgecumbe of Cothele (1468/9-August 14, 1539). M. St. Clare Byrne identifies her as the Lady Edgecumbe who was a lady of the Privy Chamber to Anne of Cleves in 1540, but other sources say that was Winifred Essex, her stepson's wife. Catherine made her will on December 4, 1553, at Cothele, Cornwall and it was proved on December 12, 1553. In it she names a daughter Mary Luterel, by her first husband, to whom she left the household goods at Dunster, Somerset.
