With regard to Sir William's wife, it is mentioned in Mr. Gr. E. 

 Cokayne's " Some Account of the Lord Mayors and Sheriffs of the 

 City of London — 1601 to 1615," that Sir John Grore, Merchant 

 Taylor, Lord Mayor 1624-5, married to his first wife, 20 August, 

 1593, at Hackney, Ann, daughter of Eichard Bowdler, of St. 

 Bartholomew" by the Exchange, draper, by whom he had issue one 

 child only, Grerard Grore. By his second wife, Hester, daughter of 

 Sir Thomas Cambell, Sir John left issue from whom the present 

 Earl Temple is descended. 



It would seem probable that Mrs. Anne Grore may have had a 

 sister, Judith, described as " Judith, daughter of Richard Bowdler 

 of London," who married William Calley ; while it is noticeable 

 that Judith Calley's grandson, another Sir William Calley, married, 

 as is stated in a pedigree in Mr. John Mullings' possession, to his 

 first wife, a Cambell, whose parentage is not given. The wdll of 

 Grerard Grore, above mentioned, proved in 1623, has been examined, 

 but no relations ex parte mater na are mentioned in it, his father 

 Sir John being sole legatee. 



Particulars of the purchase by Sir William Calley of the manor 

 of Burderope have already (vol. xxx., p. 126-7) been printed in the 

 Magazine. The following, copied from a paper lent by Mr. John 

 Mullings, completes the account : —
