Particulars of the wives of William Lambarde may be found in the Lambarde Diary published in Vol. I I of Misc. Gen. et Heraldica. In Pedigree No. 1, the descent from John Lambarde is printed in Arch. Can., Vol. V. In it, it may be noted that Giles, the brother of William, married Margaret Stevenson who afterwards married Humphrey Wyndham. I do not know if there was any connection between her and the Stevenson of Pedigree No. 2. I have not collated Pedigree No. 3 with the History of the Kentish family of Merriam in the Society's Library a t Maidstone, which is noted in Arch. Cant., Vol. XXVII. This name appears several times in the Goudhurst Parish Registers. Pedigree No. 6 corrects and amplifies both Hasted and Berry. Hasted gives an earlier reference to the Woodwards under Hadlow. In Arch. Cant., Vol. XVI, is a reference to their house a t Ashford. And in Vol. XXVIII is a note to the effect that Edward Woodward who died in 1528 wishes to be buried beside his father in Ashford Church. Again in Vol. X X X I , in Notes from the lost " Register of Stoke," are many entries connected with the Wylkyns family referred to here both in Pedigrees No. 1 and No. 6. The marriage in 1576 of George Wilkins to Elizabeth Woodward is interesting, as showing, apparently, a more intimate connection between the families than merely the transference of property referred to in Pedigree No. 6. The last of the Multon family married a daughter of Whettenhall of Peckham—this in connection with Pedigree No. 2. Edward Woodward died in 1528 a n d his widow married Edward White ; and their grand daughter Sylvester was William Lambarde's second wife.
