daughter and coheir of William Everard, of Linsted, Esq., and by
her he had 6 daughters; by Mary, daughter of ---- Tasborough, he
had a son; and by the third lady ----, daughter of ---- Simonds, he
had a daughter. He was the last of the Greenes that enjoyed this
estate, having lost it by gaming."--Morant's _Essex_, vol. ii. p.
525.

This account of the Greene family is stated in a note to have been taken
from a fine pedigree on vellum, penes T. Wotton, Gent.

If Catherine Pegge was one the three ladies mentioned above, she must
have changed her name previously to her marriage, in hopes of concealing
her former history; but the circumstance of the baronetcy being
conferred upon Sir Edward is very suspicious. Probably some of your
correspondents can settle the question.

under the following title:--

"_Great Brittaines Sunnes-set, bewailed with a Shower of Teares_.
By William Basse. At Oxford, Printed by Joseph Barnes. 1613"?
