Henry Carey
got married on 21 May 1545, they would spend the next 50 years together and
when it came time to write down the monument she would refer to him as "dearest of husbands".
and yet despite
all this time and the kind words you can hardly found anything directly about
her. (I believe I saw it referee to
somewhere as a non-entity). Luckily enough, she's noticeable enough to have her
own Wikipedia entry. As you can see most of it is a bit of a reflection Henry Carey entry, though more info is given once is he is dead.
But even on
the mighty wiki you will find particular reference that will leave you confuse
and will actually confuse you more if you research them. Today I will focus on
the problem of her ancestry. I may try
to give more detail account of her life in the future.
If you
check the mother reference on Anne Article her mother is mention as Anne
Whitney, while on the page of Henry her mother is refer to as Elizabeth Whitney.
Nickname? actually its more complicate than that.
Anne
Morgan doesn't really have an official
family tree, I've seen it done several different way. The site Peerage.com tell you that Anne is
the daughter of Robert Whitney and Siberl Baskerville citing the complete
peerage. While wikipedia tell you Anne
Morgan grandparent ar Blanche Millborne, lady troy, and James Whitney
(Peerage.com) place them as her great-grandparent.

The
inclusion of Blanche Millborne (or Blanche Whitney or Blanche Hebert if you use
the name of her husband) in the Carey family tree actually a very interesting
thing in itself as she so far the most notorious person on the line. Like Anne
Morgan, she stem from Herefordshire and most interestingly she was in charge of
Elizabeth I, Prince Edward when she was a baby. Though by the time Henry was
marrying she was retiring from her position (Elizabeth herself was around 12).
I think its fairly interesting if you consider just how important the future
queen of England would be for Henry Carey.
But if you look at Lady Troy wikipedia she is mention as the grandmother of Anne Morgan is
Blanche her great grand-mother or her grandmother?
Well it's a
bit hard to give a definitive answer in my humble position, but I am incline to
think she was her grandmother.
While I may
have been sceptical of genealogical research previously, I have found one site
that seem to quite informative for our question (and apparently well source).
the Whitney Research group (Sadly I can't find an equivalent for the Morgan or
Carey ) and they seem to indicate that Anne Morgan is the daughter of Elizabeth
Whitney. The Robert who married Sybil Baskerville being the son of her brother
(Which obliviously put us too far down the line for Anne Morgan to possibly be
his grandchildren). Could it have been his father? I think it's unlikely as
there is no mention of Anne amongst his children. Elizabeth being the daughter of James and Blanche according to the research group.
So we sorta
have answer for Anne Morgan mother, so is her father any easier to trace? I
mean the guy a knight, he must surely have some sort of importance!
Well
actually he's just as hard as nut to crack.
I wasn't
able to find a list of those given knighthood at the time (At least not one
that clearly talk about a Thomas Morgan of Arkestone).
Just what
is the town of Arkestone? Well it no longer seem to exist, it seem it was
village back in the day that absorb by the current larger village of Kingstone.
So far my search in their record landed squat. (And the name of the of
Arkenstone doesn't seem to ever had an official spelling)
However
I've notice something when looking for a Thomas Morgan of Arkestone around the
16 century.
Should you
look in volume 18 of
Arkestone where he actually seem to
be a knight.
A look into the national archive will give you
that there is indeed a will for a Thomas Morgan in Arkestone (there is also one
in this location in 1579, though I doubt its the same guy considering he would
probably be dead by then, but hard to say like this). While the title of the
one 1562 doesn't mention esquire the fact its come from
Arkestone
So I seem
to be at a dead end here. The early mention I can find of Sir Thomas Morgan of
Arkstone is in the peerage of 1714 at page 224, though its not about Hunsdon peerage, but
rather of his son who was earl of Monmouth by then, where you can see more than
one Sir Thomas Morgan coming from that locality (I don't what make of this, but
I thought it was odd).
Amusingly
Thomas Morgan the name of Anti-Elizabethan conspirator (though much later to be
our man)
Well here
you go yet again more question trying to
and here
another thing to thinker about.
There
is possible reference to Anne Morgan.
Should you look in the Privy purse expenses of the Princess Mary, daughter of
King Henry the Eighth, afterwards Queen Mary. You will found four reference to
Anne Morgan (the table predate the mariage) though the fact she is refer to as mistress make me of someone older.
94 & 117 (they are the sme)
Item paid to Mistress Anne Morgan by her laid out for my lady's grace [?]
(Possibly about communion)
and at page
125
Item given to Mistress Anne Morgan when she fell sick at Guildford.
and 132
Item given to Mistress Anne Morgan in a chain.
