Of these MARY HARDWICK married (his first wife) Richard Wingfield, of
Wantisden, seventh son of Sir Anthony Wingfield, of Letheringham, co.
Suffolk, K.G. His will was proved in London 14th August, 1591. Their
eldest son _Henry_ was of Crowfield, co. Suffolk. His great-grandson,
_Harbottle Wingfield_, of Crowfield, was living 1644, and his
descendants, if any, may quarter Hardwick. Their second son, _Anthony
Wingfield_, was the well-known Greek reader to Queen Elizabeth; and
their third son, _Sir John Wingfield_, married Susan Bertie, Countess
Dowager of Kent, and left _Peregrin Wingfield_, of whom nothing is
recorded.
JANE HARDWICK, next daughter, married Godfrey Bosvile of Gunthwaite and
Beighton, co. Ebor. His will is dated 22nd July, 1580. Their eldest
child, _Francis Bosvile_, left only daughter, Grace Bosvile, who died
young. His three sisters became coheirs, but the estate of Gunthwaite
went to an uncle, ancestor of the present Godfrey Bosvile, Lord
Macdonald. Of these sisters, _Frances Bosvile_ married John Savile;
_Dorothy Bosvile_, John Lacy; and _Elizabeth Bosvile_, John Copley:
either they had no children, or these died young. _Mary Bosvile_, the
second daughter and coheir, married Richard Burdett, of Derby, living
1612. Their son, _George Burdett_, had by his first wife a son, whose
issue failed; and by his second wife two daughters, eventually coheirs.
Of these. _Mary Burdett_ married, first, Richard Pilkington, and second,
Sir T. Beaumont, of Whitby: and _another sister_ married--Ramsden. No
issue of either are recorded. The third sister, _Elizabeth Burdett_,
married, at Hoyland, 6th Feb., 1636, the Rev. Daniel Clark, A.M., and
died 27th Aug., 1679, at Fenney-Compton. Their great-grandson and sole
male representative was the late _Joseph Clark_ of Northampton, whose
descendants also quarter Hardwick.
ELIZABETH HARDWICK, the next daughter, was the celebrated Countess of
Shrewsbury. Her _representatives_ are all noble, and their pedigrees may
be found in the Peerages. They are--
1. _The Duke of Devonshire_, representing Wm. Cavendish, first earl.
Certain descendants of Sir Charles Cavendish, of Welbeck Abbey, or
rather of his grandson, Henry, second Duke of Newcastle, namely,
2. The _Duke of Portland_, representing Margaret Pelham, the Duke's
eldest coheir;
3. The _Marquis of Salisbury_ from Catherine, and second coheir;
4. The _Earl De la Warr_; and
5. The _Earl of Aboyne_, are the coheirs of Sir Charles Cope, Baronet,
of Orton; who represented Arabella, Countess of Sunderland, third
coheir. These five all quarter Hardwick.
ALICE HARDWICK, next daughter, married Francis Hercy, according to some
pedigrees. No issue recorded.
There are therefore descendants certainly known of only two of the
children of John Hardwick. Possibly some of your correspondents can
supply those of Wingfield and Hercy.
