Notes - Sheriff of London. "[A] substantial clothier, who founded the fortunes of the family, was granted the freedom of the city of London in 1526, and was inscribed 'armiger' in 1548. He obtained by a grant of 1544 the manor of Groton, Suffolk, formerly belonging to the monastery of Bury St. Edmunds." [1885 Dictionary of National Biography]
Specifically, Adam Winthrop purchased Groton Manor through the Court of Augmentations, the bureaucracy created under Henry VIII to monetize the properties looted from the monasteries in the Dissolution. Probably not coincidentally, on Adam's death, his widow Agnes Sharpe married, in 1563, William Mildmay, brother of Court of Augmentations directions Thomas and Walter Mildmay.
Adam Winthrop was Master of the Clothworkers' Company of London in 1551.
With his wife, he is a common ancestor of TNH, of now-famed whistleblower Edward Snowden (b. 1983), and of the long-lived Senator from Arizona, Carl Trumbull Hayden (1877-1972).
