- The children of William Saunders by his wife Joan were:-
1. Nicholas Saunders (eldest son), who married Isabella, the sister of Sir Hugh Carew of Bedington, Surrey, knt.
2. Erasmus Saunders, the ancestor of the West Wales branch.
3. Francis Saunders.
4. Frances, who married Henry Spilman of Marlborrough, second son of Sir John Spilman.
5. A daughter who married Nicholas Lussher of Surrey.
6. Elizabeth, who married _____ Castell.
7. Urithe, who married John Paygrave of Norfolk.
8. Catherine, who married _____ Carvell.
William Saunder's five daughters had ten husbands between them and all five had married at the time he made his will. The eldest daughter Mary was left a widow with a young family by the early death of her husband, Nicholas Lusher. She remained a widow for over forty years, continuing to live at her husband's Manor of Shoelands at Puttenham, Surrey. Her only son Nicholas was knighted in 1603.
The other four of William's daughters all married into Norfolk families. Urith, probably the second daughter, married John Palgrave of Berningham Northwood.
Frances, the next daughter, married twice. Her first husband was
Barnard Jennings of Vann, near Godalming. He died childless only two or three years after their marriage. She afterwards married Henry, son of Sir John Spelman of Narborough. They lived at Congham, seven miles north of Narborough, where a brass plate records the deaths of Frances and Henry and gives the names of their children and grandchildren. Their eldest son, Sir Henry
Spelman, was the famous historian and author of many works on antiquarian subjects.
The two youngest daughters of William Saunder, Elizabeth and Catherine,
were each married three times. Catherine's first husband was Edmund Kervill or Carvill, of Wiggenhall.
Elizabeth was first married to Roger Castell of Raveningham, whose sister married a brother of Edmund. Edmund Kervill died in 1570; within a year Catherine married John Spelman of Narborough, a nephew of the husband of her sister Frances. Tragedy overtook the family ten years later when John Spelman and Roger Castell were buried at Narborough within a few days of one another in 1581. Catherine lastly married Miles Corbet of Sprowston, Norfolk, just over a year after the death of her second husband. Miles Corbet was a soldier who was knighted by Essex at Cadiz in 1596. On their alabaster tomb at Sprowston are the effigies of Catherine and the first wife of Sir Miles, kneeling side by side behind their spouse. Catherine died in 1608, the year after her husband's death. Elizabeth married again about two years after the death of Roger Castell, her second husband being William Forthe of Hadleigh.....
