• Notes

  "Warfare and Witchcraft at Milton Abbey" (citation details below) correctly states that Tregonwell married twice and that his first wife, not his second wife Elizabeth Kellaway (widow of Robert Martin), was the mother of his children. It calls this first wife "Elizabeth Bruce". No evidence exists that her name was Elizabeth. Between J.B. Wainewright, "Sir John Tregonwell's Second Wife" in Notes and Queries Series 11, vol. 6 (1912), pp. 347-48, and A. R. Bayley's reply on page 454 of the same volume, it seems clear that the first wife's surname was Newce, not Bruce, and that she was of the Newce family of Oxfordshire. On John Tregonwell's tomb at Milton Abbas, the arms to his right are those of Newce of Oxford.
