Notities over Thomas KEMPE

According to the History of Parliament, Sir Thomas Kempe had five daughters by his first wife, Katherine Cheyney.
However only two daughters, Anne Kempe and Alice Kempe, are mentioned in the will, dated 6 December 1558, of Katherine Cheyney’s father, Sir Thomas Cheyney, TNA PROB 11/42B/105:

"Also I give and bequeath to Anne Kempe and Alice Kempe, my daughter Dame Katherine
Kempe’s daughters, two hundred pound apiece to either of them, so that the same Anne and Alice and either of them be ordered for their marriages by their father, Sir Thomas Kempe, knight, or by mine executors or the survivors of them."

The five alleged daughters of Sir Thomas Kempe by his first wife, Katherine Cheyney, thus appear to have been:
(1) Anne Kempe (b.1543). Mentioned in her grandfather’s will. She married Sir Thomas
Shirley (c.1542-1612). For her will, proved 1 April 1623, see TNA PROB 11/141/330.
(2) Alice Kempe (d.1592), to whom Robert Greene dedicated Menaphon. Mentioned in
her grandfather’s will. She married firstly Sir James Hales (d.1589), for whose will see
TNA PROB 11/75/265, and secondly Sir Richard Lee (d.1608), illegitimate half brother of Queen Elizabeth’s Champion, Sir Henry Lee.
(3) Frideswide Kempe. According to Richardson, supra, p. 276, she was the daughter of
Sir Thomas Kempe by his first wife, Katherine Cheyney. If so, it appears she predeceased her grandfather, Sir Thomas Cheyney, as she is not mentioned in his will. Sir Thomas Cheyney’s first wife was Frideswide Frowyk (1499 - before April 1528), the daughter of Sir Thomas Frowyk (c.1460-1506), and it thus seems likely that Sir Thomas Kempe and his first wife, Katherine Cheyney, might have had a daughter named Frideswide.)
(4) Margaret Kempe. According to the History of Parliament, Margaret Kempe was also he daughter of Sir Thomas Kempe by his first wife, Katherine Cheyney, and married, as his first wife, William Cromer (d. 12 May 1598), esquire, of Tunstall, Kent, by whom she had a daughter, Anne Cromer. Margaret Kempe had died by 1 October 1561, when William Cromer married Elizabeth Guildford, the daughter of Sir John Guildford (d. 5 July 1565) and Barbara West, the daughter of Thomas West (c.1457 - 11 October 1525), 8th Lord la Warr.
