SIR ROGER NEWBURGH, KNT.
Roger Newburgh, of Dorsetshire, Knight, 2d August 1514. My body to be buried in the Abbey Church of Bury. To my good brother Nicholas Wadham, Knight, one hundred sheep; my aunt Dame Jane Bolney, of Wylton ; to Sir John Marney and my daughter Christian his wife xx /.; and I constitute them my executors. Proved 30th October 1515
William Newburgh...married about 1460 CHRISTIAN GOUVIS, daughter of Sir Walter Gouvis, Knt.; she died 9 Dec. 1491, her inquisition post mortem stating her son and heir Roger Newburgh to be twenty-eight years of age. (I.P.M., Chancery Series 2, vol. 7, no. 70.) (P) Children: JOHN, "the elder", b. about 1461, was heir to his grandfather in April 1484, but d. 11 Oct. 1484, his wife Joane dying without issue the next day, 12 Oct. 1484. ..... ii. SIR ROGER, b. in 1463, on the death of his elder brother succeeded to the ancestral Newburgh estates. Engaging in military pursuits, he was knighted 31 Oct. 1494, at the creation of the Duke of York (afterwards King Henry VIII.), and from a reference in his will it seems like that he accompanied this monarch in his invasion of France in 1514. In 1515 he was appointed sheriff of Somerset and Dorset, and dying 27 Sept. 1515, was buried in the Abbey Church of Bury St. Edmunds, the grandest monastery in England. As he left issue only a daughter, all the ancient Newburgh estates passed out of the family name to her descendants; but certain unentailed estates, which he had acquired, he deeded to Newburgh relativesl among them he gave the manor of Othfrauncis with 204 acres in Netherbury, 184 acres in Kyngeston, and 40 acres in Bryan's Puddle to his kinsman (own-cousin) Walter Newborough and Elizabeth his wife and their issye. (Hutchins' "History of Dorset", vol. 1, p. 429.) His will [is] dated 2 Aug. 1514, probated 30 Oct. 1515. He m. about 1492, ELIZABETH WADHAM, daughter of Sir John Wadham, Knt., whose will in 1501 mentions "my daughter Newberow". (P.C.C., 11 Blamyr.) (P) Child: 1. CHRISTIAN, b. in 1494, sole child and heiress, d. 7 Aug. 1517; m. in 1512, SIR JOHN MARNY, KNT. They had two daughters who as coheiresses inherited the ancient Dorsetshire estates of the Newburgh family.
Christian, the sole heiress of Sir Roger Newburgh, carried the estate in 1514, to her husband, Sir John Marney, Lord Marney, and her second daughter, and eventual heiress, Elizabeth Marney, marrying Thomas, Lord Howard, of Bindon, conveyed it, with several other considerable estates in Dorsetshire, amongst which was the manor of Bindon, to the Howards, from whom, as stated above, it was purchased in 1641, by Humphrey Weld.
