Excerpt from The Ancestor: A Quarterly Review of County and Family History, Heraldry and Antiquities, October, 1904 The father of this worshipful nephew was Edward Wilmot Of Culham, esquire. Certain proceedings in Chancery give us the tale Of his marriage to Elizabeth Stafford, daughter Of a Berkshire squire, and widow of Ohn Bury of Culham, a son by an earlier marriage Of E ward Wilmot's mother's second husband. Thus entangled become the relationships in an age in which there are few spinsters and fewer bachelors and in which no well-found widow or widower rests many months unmarried. With this a stepson came into the Cu] ham house, young Thomas Bury, who married, before he came Of age, one Judith Humfreys, and had the law Of his stepfather therefor, protesting that he had been forced into the match. The suit being in Chancery Edward Wilmot could not do less than deny the plea roundly, swearing that the match was one of wilful Tom's own making and deplorable to his Stepfather.
