| Notes |
- Sir Thomas Danvers, the eldest son of Sir John, married Margaret, youngest daughter of Sir William Courtenay, of Powderham Castle, Devon, and his wife Cicely, the daughter of Sir John Cheney, of Pincourt. In the Patent Koll of 8 Henry VIH. Thomas Danvers is called of Powderham, Devon, and is pardoned for having in self defence killed one James Leore. Thomas died in the year 1532 (24 Henry VHI.). His post-mortem inquisition f taken at Lostwithyell in Cornwall states that his son and heir, Sylvester, was 13 years, 41 weeks, and 2 days old at the time of his father's death. The inquisition refers to a deed of settlement between Sir William Courtenay and Sir John Danvers and his wife Ann, of 2 Henry VIII. , which settled upon the heirs of Thomas Danvers and his wife Margaret the manors of Bevamye, Stratton, Swancottes, St. Mary Wyke, St. Clare Coleshill, Liskerd
Coleshill, and Wykeborough.*
Besides his son Sylvester, Thomas left two daughters, Constance and Ann. Constance is mentioned in her grandmother's will.
Silvester Danvers was the only son of Thomas Danvers and Margaret Courtenay, and was born in the year 1518. His grandmother, Dame Anne, outlived her eldest son, and Silvester became her heir when she died, in the year 1539, succeeding her in the Wiltshire and other estates, excepting those which had been specially devised to the uncles, William and John Danvers. In the year 1537 Silvester married Elizabeth, second daughter of Sir John Mordaunt, first Baron Mordaunt of Turvey. By this his first wife Silvester Danvers had three sons, John, Henry, and Anthony, and three daughters, Anne, Ursula, and Elizabeth. They are all mentioned in his will (Powell, 14). Silvester's second wife was Elizabeth, daughter of William Eede, of Milton, by whom he had a son, Giles, whose birth he seems to have been expecting when he made his will in July, 1549 (proved in 1552). He is mentioned as the son of Silvester Danvers in Harleian Eoll, p. 5, and we find him taking part in the management of the Dauntsej^ estates. Silvester's post-mortem mquisition is No. 88 of 5 Edward VI., part ii. His heir is his son, John, aged eleven at the time of his father's death...

The certificate was written immediately after the ceremony of the marriage, and was no doubt placed, with the other family papers, in the muniment chest of Cul- worth manor house. There it remamed till the manor passed away from the Danvers family towards the end of the eighteenth century. Since then it has, with the other Cul- worth muniments, changed hands more than once, and was in the year 1893 purchased by the British Museum, where it now figures as ' Additional Charter No. 38875.' The certi- ficate sets forth that the marriage took place on December 13, 1487, in the chapel of the Holy Trinity, within the precincts of the College of St. Martin-le-Grand....
The certificate notifies that John Danvers, who is described as gentleman, and of the diocese of Lincoln, with his right hand took that of Anna, and said : ' I, John, take thee, Anna, to my wife, and pledge to you my faith.' Then, having withdrawn his hand, Anna incontinently took John by her right hand, and said : ' And I, Anna, take thee, John, to my man and husband, and to this I pledge you my faith.' And then they, having so said, and withdrawn their hands, kissed one another. The certificate also sets forth the names of the worshipful and eminent gentlemen, dwellers in London, who, with many others, witnessed the marriage. The names given are as follows : Thomas Frowyk, Lewis Pollard, Eichard Elyott, Thomas Ingylfeld (Englefield), Thomas Sabcotys (Sapcotes), Eichard Langston, Thomas Marrow, Eobert Brudenell, Edmund Tame, Edmund Bardesey, John Baff, Thomas Jakys, and William Malett.
