Notes about Anne DEVEREUX

Anne Devereux was the daughter of John Devereux, 2nd baron Ferrers of Chartley (d.1501) and Cecilia Bourchier (d.c.1493). She was in Mary Tudor’s entourage when Mary went to France in 1514 to marry King Louis. On October 1, 1514, Sir Walter Devereux, her brother, received £25 for a "gown of tynsel for Mistress Anne Devereux, sent over with the French Queen."

Anne should not be confused with the Anne Devereux who married Henry Clifford. That Anne was the daughter of Sir Richard Devereux. This Anne Devereux married David/Davy Owen of Midhurst and Cowdray, Sussex (1459-1535), as his third wife, sometime before 1525. They had three children, Elizabeth (d.1551), Harry (d. before 1535), and John (c.1525-1559).

Owen was buried in Easebourne Priory, Sussex on or about September 27, 1535, although his will was not proved until 1542, causing some to date his death in that year. In December 1535, however, Anne Owen, widow of David Owen, petitioned the king for custody of their ten year old son, John, and for £4,800, jewels, and plate, and other items. In the petition she states that her dowry was £1000 in angelettes and royals, plus clothing, and that she had spent £113 19s. 8d. on clothes for her son Harry, now deceased, while he was in royal service. She was his heir. She further asks for all the timber, iron, lead, and glass from the house of Cowtherey, which her husband gave to her for her lifetime, so that she could build a new house at Bodyngton, and for a casket Owen had until his death. It is unclear how her petition fared, but by 1538 she had remarried, taking as her second husband Nicholas Gaynesford of Ditchling, Sussex (d.c.1548). They had no children. Anne took a third husband soon after Gaynesford died, choosing John Harman of Naunton Hall, Rendlesham, Suffolk (d.1558+), a gentleman usher and member of parliament. She was his third wife. They had no children.
