Family notes:
·
“Anne Grove”, d/o Roger is usually given as wife
of William. However, the document of 1544-47 shows that his wife, a John Grove
descendent, was named Elizabeth, the name given their daughter. The “William
Sedley” that is shown in the same records as married to “Ann Grove” is also
shown as sheriff of Kent in 1589 – 30 years after this William died.
