---------------------------------

Of Nicholas Stephens we know nothing, beyond that he is I described as "of Chiselden," and that according to Harley MS., 1111, jfo. 42 b. (where, however, he is wrongly affiliated), he married " Anne daughter to Kekewith of Cornwall, widow to John Sherrington." Elsewhere the lady is called " Kekewich of Essex," but it is at any rate certain that letters of administration of the estate of " John Sharington of Lidington," her late husband deceased, were granted to her, 6th February, 1560-1, by the name of "Agnes Stephens alias Sharington." She is mentioned, moreover, as " Agnes Weavin, widow," obviously a clerical error, in the will of her grandson, William Sherrington, of Medbourne, in Liddmgton, which is dated 19th February, 1610-11.
