  • Name Mary BRODREPP 
    Relationshipwith Teresa Ann GOATHAM
    Born Est 1611 
    Gender Female 
    Died Bef 1655  Wootton Fitzpaine, Dorset, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    • Appears to have died before her husband wrote his will; also before her father wrote his will in 1654. Place assumed from burial place (mentioned in her husband's will).
      (n.b. In the absence of evidence to the contrary I am assuming her husband Richard just had the two wives, but it is possible he had more and I have merged more than one here)
    Buried The Parish Church, Wootton Fitzpaine, Dorset, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    • In his will her husband Richard Rose expresses a wish to be buried by his late wife in Wootton Fitzpaine Church. I am assuming this is his Brodrepp wife, although it is possible he was married more than twice and was referring to a later wife.

    Father Richard BRODREPP,   b. Est 1582,   d. Between 1656 and 1658  (Age ~ 74 years) 
    Mother Mary MORGAN,   b. Between 4 Jan 1583/84 and 7 Jan 1590/91,   d. Between 20 Oct 1635 and 1656  (Age ~ 51 years) 
    Married Between 1607 and 1608 
    • Hutchins shows son Christopher and 'Several other children' (vol. 2, p.159, Bordrepp pedigree)
      Hutchins also shows the marriage as taking place in 5 Jac. I (vol. 2, p.158, Morgan pedigree), being the date of the marriage settlement.
    Marriage Settlement 29 May 1607 
    • The Dorset History Centre catalogue shows that a marriage settlement for the marriage of Richard Brodrepp and Mary Morgan.
      It shows that the agreement was made between Richard and his mother ('Dorothy Brodrepp of Huntstile [Huntspill], Somerset, widow, late wife of John Brodrepp, gentleman, deceased and Richard Brodrepp, gentleman their son and heir') and, I assume, Mary's uncle and step-father ('Sir Amyes Bampfield of Poultymer, Devon, knight and John Luttrell of Mapperton, esquire, trustees. Estates at Huntstile, Burnham etc Somerset'). Mary had an uncle and step-father with these names, but I have not yet seen the document and clearly there could be other possibilities, e.g. she may have had a step-brother John Luttrell.

    Family Richard ROSE,   b. Abt 1600,   d. Abt 1658, Wootton Fitzpaine, Dorset, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location  (Age ~ 58 years) 
    Other Partners: Elizabeth HENLEY  m. Between 1614 and 1625 
    Married Aft 1636 
    • I am confident that Richard reamarried after his first wife had died, and that he married a Brodrepp, the sister of Christopher and John. Hutchins shows the marriage and names Richard's wife as Mary (though see below).

      It is interesting to note from Richard Rose's will that when he died Morganhayes was his; I suspect that this may have passed to the Rose family as part of the marriage settlement when Richard Rose and Mary Brodrepp married.

      I am confident that my direct ancestor,Richard's daughter Elizabeth, was not the daughter of his first wife, Elizabeth Henley.
      However, it is possible he remarried more than once after the death of his first wife, in which case I could have fused more than one person into this 'second' wife of Richard Rose.

      There is evidence that some at least of the offspring of Richard were with his Brodrepp wife: Anne expressed a wish in her will to be buried in Mapperton Church in 'my cozen Brodrips Isle' while Thomas' son Churchill is described as a kinsman in a Brodrepp will. That Richard's son Richard was probably a child of his Brodrepp wife is suggested by Richard junior's son Thomas in his will appointing Richard Brodrepp as a trustee for his grandchildren during their minority. Mary Rose is described as a cousin in the will of Christopher Brodrepp's daughter Mary.

      That just leaves Dorothy and, unfortunately, my ancestor Elizabeth, the latter being, of course, the one whose mother I am keenest to be reasonably certain about.

      The name of the Brodrepp that Richard Rose married is shown in Hutchins as Mary, although it seems clear that he has attached her in the wrong place, showing her as daughter rather than sister of Christopher Brodrepp. Although Christopher did have sons Christopher and John (as named as brothers in Richard Rose's will), if Richard Rose had married Christopher senior's daughter Mary the marriage would have been too late for them to have the children as on the tree here. In addition, Christopher senior's daughter Mary died single, leaving a will with various relations named and relationships described from which it seems clear she was that Christopher's daughter.

      Hutchins also appears to have attached John married to Elizabeth Freke as a son of Christopher senior instead of a brother. Again, the dates don't work if it was John the son of Christopher senior who married Elizabeth.

      These common small errors in Hutchins makes it clear he cannot be relied on for details, and hence with Richard's Brodrepp's wife's Christian name only known from Hutchings it must be regarded with caution - but I will use it unless or until I learn otherwise. 

      (Mary Brodrepp's grandmother was Anne Bampfield; Richard's first wife's mother names two Bampfields as friends and makes them executors of her will. These were Francis and Thomas, I think they must have been grandsons of Amias, brother of Anne and so second cousins of Mary. Amias was mentioned in more than one Morgan family document, suggesting that Anne, who was from a large family and probably not in close contact with all of her siblings, was close to Amias. Did this contact between the two families continue - was it through the Henley family's contact with the Bampfields that Richard came to know their cousin, Mary Brodrepp?)
