Edward Cheeseman (died 1509), also written Cheseman, was an English lawyer and administrator from Middlesex. [1]
Origins
There was a William Cheeseman living in Southall in 1382, [2] but the family only rose to prominence with Edward, who was born about 1455. He had two younger brothers, John and Robert, [1] who reportedly did not leave sons. [3]
Career
Entering on a legal career, he became first a filacer, or issuer of writs, and later an attorney in the Court of King's Bench. [4] His final post was as a senior member of the royal household of King Henry VII, when he became Cofferer of the Household some time after September 1505. [5] As such he attended the funeral of the King in April 1509, but himself died in August, asking to be buried in Blackfriars church in London. [2]
His will was proved in November 1510, [6] and he left extensive landholdings in Middlesex and Kent to his son. [4] These included in Middlesex the manor and mansion house of Dormanswell in Southall, [2] together with the manor of Southall which he had bought in 1496, and the manor of Norwood, [7] together with the manors of Osterley and of Wyke. [8] In Kent, he left land at Sundridge, Chevening, [9] and Lewisham. [10]
Family
Before 1485 he married Joan Lawrence, from Lancashire, [1] and they had six known children:
- Robert; [1]
- Eleanor; [1]
- Mary, who first married a man called Catesby from Bedfordshire and secondly John Tawe, a lawyer; [1]
- Grace, said to have married a Keeper of Windsor Forest; [1]
- Elizabeth I, married first Thomas Carminow (died 1529), of Respryn near Bodmin, a Gentleman Usher of the Privy Chamber, [1] becoming the mother of John Carminow and Nicholas Carminow, and after his death married secondly Edward Cleker; [11]
- Elizabeth II (died after 1547), a nun first at Holywell Priory and later at Kilburn. [1]
His widow married John Banester and died in 1536. [3]
