• Notes

  WILLIAM, of Studley, who, dying in 1444, left two daus., his co-heirs, namely, ISABELLA, m. to Richard Norton, of Norton Conyers, in Yorkshire. DIONYSIA, m. to William Mallorie, to whom she conveyed the manor of Studley; and from this marriage the late MRS. LAWRENCE, of Studley, derived. source: Burke, John and Bernard Burke. A Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Landed Gentry of Great Britain and Ireland, Volume 2. London, UK: Henry Colburn, 1847. RICHARD LE ALEMAN was lord of Studley in 1180 and the manor passed through several generations of his family until, by an heiress, it went to the family of Le Gras, and from them, in the same manner, to Isabel, wife of Sir Richard Tempest, Kt., second son of Richard Tempest of Bracewell. She died in 1421, and the property descended to her son SIR WILLIAM TEMPEST of Studley, Knight, who was upwards of thirty years of age at the time of his mother’s death. He was knighted before 1409, and married Eleanor, only daughter and heiress of Sir William Washington, of Washington, in the county of Durham, by Margaret, his wife, daughter and heiress of John Morvill. They (William and Eleanor), were cousins, being related to each other in the 3rd and 4th degrees, but their marriage was legalized by dispensation from the Archbishop of York, Oct. 20, 1409, long after they had been married and children born to them (Test. Ebor. III, 319). She died Jan. 2, 1451 and was found seised of half of the manor of Washington (Inq. p. m. 24th Jan. XIV, Neville, 1451.) WILLIAM TEMPEST, of Studley, esq, their eldest son and heir, lived but a short time after inheriting the estate. He died Jan. 4, 1444 (Inq. p. m. 1446, in 36 Cal. 4, P. 169). The name of his wife is not recorded. He left one son, John, then two years old, who died soon afterwards, and two daughters, who became his co-heirs. I. Isabel, married Richard Norton, of Norton of Norton Conyers, esq. II. Dionisia, married William Mallory, of Hutton Conyers, esq., and was thirty-six years of age, Oct. 24th, 1451. source: Stanard, William Glover, ed.
