    • RESEARCH_NOTES:
      1. "The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record," 86(1955):132-148, 209-221, "The Feake Family of Norfolk, London, and Colonial America," by George E. McCracken:
      "13. William Feake, fifth son of James Feake of Wighton (no. 7) by wife Agnes, appears in the will of his father in 1539 as youngest of five brothers...
      William Feake married, at the Church of St. Mary Woolnoth, London, on Nov. 12, 1564, Mary Wetherall of London. The 1623 pedigree gives her father's occupation as aurifaber but does not give his first name. Research into her ancestry is not complete but it is probable that she was a daughter of Thomas Wetherall, citizen and goldsmith of London, buried at the same church on April 27, 1554. His will, probated in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury: (I More), has been read by Delafield who says it mentions wife Margaret and alludes to children not named. The registers of St. Mary Woolnoth contain no reference to Mary Wetherall's baptism but show the following entries of the children of Thomas and Margaret Wetherall:
      i. Richard, bap. Nov. 19, 1540, bur. Nov. 30, 1540.
      ii. Henry, bur. Dec. 11, 1541.
      iii. Thomas, bur. Oct. 18, 1543.
      iv. Christopher, bap. Feb. 25, 1542/3.
      v. Thomas, bap. April 12, 1548, probably the citizen and homer of London, d. 1572, will probated [PCC:3 Peter (not examined)].
      vi. Christian, bap. April 14, 1551, bur. Oct. 4, 1563.
      To these we should add the marriage on July 16, 1554, of Margaret Wetherall to William Ynchorem [Ingraham?]. Margaret may have been another daughter but, as there are no Ynchorem baptisms in this register, and the date of marriage follows hard after the burial of Thomas, we think it more probable that this was a second marriage of his widow.
      In any case it would seem clear that our Mary was too old to have been, as Colonel Banks appears to have thought possible, the daughter of John Wetherhill of London, goldsmith, whose will dated May 17, 1578, probated June 18, 1578 (PCC:27 Langley) directs burial in the same church, in which also testator's child [Thomasyn, buried July 18, 1571] and brother [Thomas] already lie buried. John's wife was named Elizabeth, probably the Elizabeth Wetherhill of the same parish whose will was probated in 1585 [PCC:26 Brudenell; not examined]. They had a daughter Leah, wife of Humphrey Streate, married Sept. 23, 1577, and also other children: John (buried Nov. 9, 1590), Philip, Sarah, Anne the elder, Mary, Martha, Christian, Margaret (baptised Dec. 17, 1559, married Robert Molesworth, haberdasher, of same parish, Dec. 18, 1582, by license dated Dec. I I, 1582), Elizabeth, Susan (baptised April 30, 1562), Rebecca (married, Sept. 27, 1585, Thomas Child, of same parish), Rachel (baptised Sept. 12, 1564), and Anne the younger (baptised Nov. 16, 1567, married in double wedding with sister Margaret, by license dated same day, Thomas Lodge, of St. Osith, co. Surrey, gent.).
      The Wetherall arms on the silver-gilt cup are: Argent two lions passant guardant sable, on a chief of the second three covered cups or, and are stated in Burke's "Encyclopaedia" of Heraldry to have been borne by a Lincolnshire family of the same name. He does not identify the family further and no success has been had in locating them. No Wetheralls appear in any of the Lincolnshire Visitations.
      The Feake arms on the same cup are: Sable a fesse dancetté or, in chief three fleurs-de-lis argent; Crest: out of a coronet or demi-ostrich with wings spread argent holding in the beak a horse's shoe. These arms also appear in the 1623 pedigree as borne by William's son Edward and in the 1634 pedigree as borne by William's great-nephew John Feake of London, goldsmith (no. 45). They are also the same as those recently registered with the Committee on Heraldry of the New England Historic Genealogical Society (see New England Historical and Genealogical Register 107:269) as those of William's grandson, Lieutenant Robert Feake (no. 49). We do not know whether the arms were actually granted first to William or to one of his relatives and then used on the cup when it was remade seventy years after his death...
