Notes: WCP and EC: Birthdate 28 Jan 1603, IGI: 28 Jan 1604, (1603 would be too close to Elizabeth). WCP: Date of admittance to Christ's College, 1624. Cambridge University Alumni: 1620. According to EC 1624 is date fo graduation. WCP: made Great Nephew Thomas sole Legatee. Would seem more likely that this refers to his nephew. AP
EC: died sine prole.
Will: Nuncuperative will of Richard Pepys of Kings Lynn, clerk. To my sister Frances Pepys. Residue to his Kinsman Thomas Pepys son of Nicholas Pepys.199 M iv John Pepys 1, 2, 3, 4 was born on 20 Apr 1606 in Burnham Westgate, Norfolk, England.

She was mentioned in the will of her brother as unmarried 11, 12 on 11 Jan 1652.
Mentioned in the following will.
1637 Nov. 9. Elizabeth Bunting of South Creake, widow. To my cousin Anne Pepys and her daughter Elizabeth Pepys. To Frances, daughter of John Pepys of Burnham Westgate. Proved C.P.C. 9 Feb. 1637/8. (qtd by EC)202 F vii Margaret Pepys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 was born on 11 Aug 1611 in Burnham Westgate, Norfolk, England. She was christened 6 on 11 Aug 1611 in Burnham Westgate, Norfolk, England.

97. Richard Pepys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (Richard , Richard , Thomas , William , Robert , Thomas ) was born about 1584 in Burnham Westgate, Norfolk, England. He died on 23 Aug 1662 in Brisley, Norfolk, England. Richard was mentioned in the will of his father as young 7 on 6 Oct 1596. He graduated 8 B.A. later M.A. in 1605 in Christ's College, Cambridge, England. He was mentioned in, and supervisor of his brothers John will 9 on 8 Aug 1612. He was employed 10, 11 as Rector in 1615/1661 in Brisley. He was employed as rector in 1616/1662 in Brisley, Norfolk, England. He signed a will 12 on 12 Jul 1659.
[There appears to be gap in the Burnham Westgate records after about 1583 to 1600. Brisley records run 1600-1812 with gaps.There is also gap in the Archdeacons' transcripts between 1625-29
Edwin Chappel showed this Richard having an earlier marriage to Maria Pleasuance who had a will of 1640 this is incompatible with the marriage to Francis. There is also a deed that refers to Richard Pepys Sr. and his wife Mary. It appears to make more sense for there to be a missing generation of Richard Sr. son of William + Lucy, and children of Richard Pepys (Jr.) and Jane and Ann.
Thomas Pepys who married Ann Whe(a)lety in Norwich, is of Brisley. His baptism would fit in the gap in 1628, but he is not mentioned in willl or Richard. But possibly the will is limited to a few specific items.
Childrens dates of birth are from IGI except Samuel and Daniel from Cambridge University Alumni. This would indicate that the dates from IGI are too early. For example Theodore is described as the youngest son in Richard's will below.]
Death: there is a record of the death of Richard Peapes vicar (Clerk) of Gateley in 23 Jan 1662 and Richard Pepis Rector of Brisley on 23 Aug 1662. I do not know what to make of these similar records.
Abstract of Will: 1659 July 12. Richard Peppes of Brisley, clerk. To my son Samuel all those MSS. which I had of my nephew Richard Pepys late of Lynn. To my son Daniel the rest of my library, exept for Mr. Perkins his works, and Bishop Babington's works. Frances my wife executrix. To my daughter Amy Peppes. To my youngest son Theodore.
Proved Norwich 10 Mar 1661 by the said Frances executrix. (qtd by EC)
Richard married Frances 1, 2, 3, 4 about 1621 in of, Burnham Westgate, Norfolk, England. Frances was born estimated 1595. She died about 1673 in Brisley, Norfolk, England. Frances was mentioned in and executrix of her husband's will 5 on 10 Mar 1661. She signed a will in 1673 in Brisley, Norfolk.
A Francis Peeps wife of Richard was buried in St. Clement Norwich in 1673, this would fit this Frances except that there are also baptisms that fall after the death of this Richard. There is presumably another Richard and Frances in Norwich.
Pepys, Frances, widow, of Brisley 1673 NCC, will register, Alden, 503
They had the following children:
+ 203 M i Samuel Pepys 204 M ii John Pepys was christened 1 on 16 Apr 1623 in St. Bartholomew, Brisley, Norfolk, England. He was buried 2 on 18 Apr 1623 in St. Bartholomew, Brisley, Norfolk, England. 205 F iii Grizell Pepys was christened on 19 Jun 1625 in St. Bartholomew, Brisley, Norfolk, England. + 206 M iv Thomas Pepys 207 F v Amey Pepys was christened 1 on 7 May 1629 in St. Bartholomew, Brisley, Norfolk, England. 208 M vi Daniel Pepys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 was born 9 about 1636 in Burnham Westgate, Norfolk, England. He was buried 10 on 5 Nov 1691 in Bisbrooke, Rutland, England. Daniel was mentioned in the will of his father 11, 12 on 12 Jul 1659.
Estimated age amended to Cambridge University Alumni records. I have merged the Cambridge Alumni information on death in Bisbroke Rutland, with marriage record in Bisbroek Rutland.
IGI has a death of Daniel 11 Apr 1703. which they ascribe to Daniel born about 1718 (sic) of Richard Pepys this is actualy the death of Samuel. There is a Daniel born to Richard Pepys and Frances in 1618 in Burnham Westgate. This could suggest that Richard married Frances before 1618, But this Daniel would not seem to match the Cambridge Alumni records.Daniel married Elizabeth Todd 1 on 27 Jan 1678 in Bisbrooke, Rutland, England. 209 M vii Theodore Pepys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 was born about 1638 in Burnham Westgate, Norfolk, England. He was buried 11 on 3 Feb 1668/1669 in St. Peter, Cornhill, London (City), England. Theodore was mentioned in the will of his father 12, 13 on 12 Jul 1659. He was on 17 Apr 1666 in St. Katherine Creechurch, London, England.
Theodore is described as youngest son in his father''s will and so clearly the dates as per IGI are wrong.
This could be the Theodore Pipps who married Mary Wilmot in 1666.
EC: A Theodore Pepys was buried (at Cornhill?) in 3 Feb 1668/9Theodore married 2 Mary Willmott 1 on 17 Apr 1666 in St. Katherine Creechurch, London, England.
99. Thomas Pepys 1, 2, 3 (Robert , Richard , Thomas , William , Robert , Thomas ) was christened 4 on 31 Dec 1584 in All Saints, Cottenham, Cambridgeshire, England. He was buried 5 on 16 Oct 1654 in St. Margaret, Kings Lynn, Norfolk, England. Thomas was on 28 Feb 1608 in St. Peter, Cambridge, Cambridge, England.
Not shown by EC. This family appears to be the earliest of Kings Lynn. The puzzle at first was that there were a number of Pepys born to Robert in Cottenham and some of the baptisms were too close together untill it was realised that there were two Robert Pepys in Cottenham having children.
Thomas married 2 Susan Cawthorne 1 on 28 Feb 1608/1609 in St. Peter, Cambridge, Cambridge, England. Susan was born estimated 1585. She was buried 3 on 23 May 1645 in St. Margarets, Kings Lynn, Norfolk, England.

She was buried 2 on 12 Jun 1645 in St. Margarets, Kings Lynn, Norfolk, England. 214 M v Thomas Peapes was christened 1 on 8 Oct 1620 in St. Margaret, Kings Lynn, Norfolk, England. He was buried 2 on 25 Sep 1645 in St. Margarets, Kings Lynn, Norfolk, England. 215 F vi Joane Peapes was christened 1 on 24 Aug 1623 in St. Margaret, Kings Lynn, Norfolk, England. She was buried 2 on 23 Oct 1623 in St. Margaret, Kings Lynn, Norfolk, England. 216 M vii Humfrey Peapes was christened 1 on 7 Sep 1625 in St. Margaret, Kings Lynn, Norfolk, England. 217 M viii Samuel Peapes was christened 1 on 22 Jul 1627 in St. Margaret, Kings Lynn, Norfolk, England.
107. William Pepys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (William , Richard , Thomas , William , Robert , Thomas ) was born about 1587 in Burnham Sutton, Norfolk, England. He was buried 7, 8 on 16 Sep 1633 in Burnham Westgate, Norfolk, England. William was mentioned in the will of his father as dead 9 on 18 Apr 1639.
[There are some differences between WCP and the IGI in the following line. WCP shows a marriage of William Pepys (William+Lucy) and Peace Pepys. WCP shows a marriage of Robert (Richard+Anne, William+Lucy) and Grace. The IGI shows a first child, Richard of Richard+Anne who is not shown by WCP. The IGI shows children of Robert+Grace = Richard, William, and Peace. These match the children of Robert and Grace according to WCP.]
William married Peace 1, 2, 3 estimated 1612. Peace was born estimated 1591. Peace was mentioned in the will of her father-in-law William Pepys 4, 5 on 18 Apr 1639. She was admitted to the Norwich Congregational Church on 26 Dec 1645.
They had the following children:
+ 218 M i William Pepys
108. Richard Pepys 1, 2 (William , Richard , Thomas , William , Robert , Thomas ) was born estimated 1589 in of, Burnham, Norfolk, England. Richard was mentioned in surrender of premises by William Pepys to use of Richard Pepys on 24 Apr 1650 in Burnham Sutton. He was mentioned in surrender of premises by Robert Thurlow to use of Richard Pepys Sr. on 8 Oct 1661 in Burnham Sutton. He was executor to father's will on 17 Feb 1675/1676.
[EC has the marriage of Richard to Maria as a first Marriage of Richard of Brisley who married Frances. But the dates of Maria'a death conflict with the Brisley family. The court rolls below indicate that Richard Sr. + Mary is father to Richard who married Ann and Jane - I have thus inserted Richard + Maria between the Generations - AP
Residence: Deeds indicate that Burnham Sutton is the place of residence. Burnham Sutton cum Ulphe registers start in 1653 and so the various baptisms have not been found. They are not in Burnham Westgate and so I have assumed that they were in Burnham Sutton.]
Richard married Maria Pleasaunce 1 estimated 1614. Maria died about 1650. Maria signed a will 2 on 20 Mar 1641. She had a will probated 3 in 1650.
[According to EC Richard who married Francis, married firstly Maria Pleausance who had a will 20 Mar 1641, proved 1650. But the will not included in book. This information does not appear to be compatible with information on second marriage of Richard. to Francis. Children of Richard and Francis found in Brisley records from 1620 I believe that two Richards were conflated and I have separated them.]
They had the following children:
+ 219 M i Richard Pepys 'the Upholder' + 220 M ii Robert Pepys 221 M iii Francis Pepys 1 was born estimated 1620 in Burnham Westgate, Norfolk, England.
Not shown by WCP.222 M iv Thomas Pepys 1 was born estimated 1621 in Burnham Sutton, Norfolk, England.
[Not shown by WCP. Not mentioned in the will of his brother Richard in 1677. This could be Thomas of Stepney, who married Katherine in abt. 1654.]223 M v John Pepys 1 was born estimated 1623 in Burnham Sutton, Norfolk, England.
Not shown by WCP.224 F vi Margaret Pepys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 was born about 1625 in Burnham Sutton, Norfolk, England.
Included as child of Wiliiam and Lucy by EC, but says not mentioned in will of her father. But mentioned in will of her brother Richard. Which would make more sense if Richard who married Ann and Jane is Richard Jr. not Richard Sr.Margaret married John Steventon 1. John was born in London, England. John was Exor. of brother-in -law's will 2, 3 on 6 Jul 1677.
[EC has John Stevenson as per the will of Richard Pepys. Other sources show Steventon. We might assume that his name is the reason for the naming of Steventon Pepys born 1694 a child of William and Mary, grandchild of Richard.]225 F vii Mary Pepys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 was born about 1627 in Burnham Sutton, Norfolk, England. She died before 1677. Mary was not mentioned in her father's will 8 on 18 Apr 1639. She was not mentioned in the will of her brother Richard 9 on 6 Jul 1677.
[Included as child of William and Lucy by EC, but Mary is not mentioned in her father's will in 1639 which as with other children is explicable if Richard Jr. is her brother and not Richard Sr. Not mentioned directly in will of Richard Jr. but her husband is, so presumably dead before 1677. However, brother in law could also refer to his wife's brother.]Mary married Robert Saunderson 1, 2. Robert was born estimated 1623. Robert was mentioned in the will of his brother-in-law Richard Pepys 3 on 6 Jul 1677.
109. Nicholas Pepys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (William , Richard , Thomas , William , Robert , Thomas ) was born about 1591 in Burnham Sutton, Norfolk, England. He died after 1677/1678. Nicholas was mentioned in the will of his father 10 on 18 Apr 1639. He was mentioned in deeds of Woterton Estate, Burnham on 16 Oct 1658. He was mentioned in will of his son in 1677/1678 in Burnham Ulph, Norfolk, England. He was mentioned as proved the will of his son Nicholas 11, 12 on 9 Feb 1677/1678.
[Children not mentioned in will of their grandfather in 1639 so possibly dates could be later].

She was mentioned in the will of her brother Nicholas as married 5 on 17 Oct 1677.

[Walter Courtenay Pepys does not show children of Thomas and Jane Dowdall. EC says died sine prole. The children shown here (from the IGI) seem to have the same names as children of Fermor and Frances! There is probably an error here.]
It woudl seem likely that this is Thomas Pepys mentioned in the will of Richard Bunting.
Thomas married Jane Dowdal 1, 2 daughter of Sir. John Dowdal before 1589. Jane was born before 1575 in Ireland.
They had the following children:
229 M i Knevit Pepys 1, 2 was born about 1592 in South Creake, Norfolk, England. 230 M ii Farmer Pepys 1, 2, 3 was born about 1594 in South Creake, Norfolk, England.

The IGI gives a date of birth of 1508, I have ammended this to fit the other childrens dates.233 F v Elinor Pepys 1, 2 was born about 1600 in South Creake, Norfolk, England.

John Pepys of London and Ashstead
Presumably this is the John Pepys referred to in a document of 11th of Charles I as one of those remaining in London against the proclamation of the crown."Marshall to my lord Coke" (Pepys Diary, 30th Jan 1667/8) - qtd by EC.
Mileham was the birth place of that eminent lawyer, Sir Edward Coke. He was born at the old Hall, which has been pulled down, and a farm house built on the site. In the early part of his career he was made Recorder of Norwich, and then of London ; he was subsequently appointed Solictor-General to Queen Elizabeth, and Speaker of the House of Commons. He was afterwards chosen Attorney-General, which office he continued under King James, who successively appointed him Chief Justice of both benches. He died Sept. 3rd, 1634, in the 83rd year of his age ; and a sumptuous altar tomb was erected to his memory in church. From History of Mileham.According to EC this is John Pepys mentioned in Richard Bunting's will. Presumably referred to as John Pepys Jr. to distinguish from John Pepys his uncle. 1601 Dec. 11.

In the parish church of Mileham in Norfolk, is the following quaint epitaph: In memory of Mr Fermor Pepys, sometime of the Parish, of a worthy descent most happy nature, choicest educationa tried faith to God, a persecuted church, a banished Prince and his old friend. He was born and bred a gentleman, baptisedand lived a Christian, died a believerand lives a Saint. Ob. Sept. 22 nd , 1660, aged 79.
Fermor married Jane Armiger 1, 2, 3 on 3 Nov 1630 in North Creake, Norfolk, England. Jane was born about 1581. She died after 1660. Jane was mentioned in and executrix of husband's will 4 on 26 Mar 1667.
EC: 'Widow of Lancaster'. This may have been based upon a misreading of the will "son and daughter Lancaster could refer to Meriall Pepys and husband Henry Lancaster, not son and daughter by previous marriage. Marriage in North Creake is to Jane Armiger woud seem to confirm this. AP
They had the following children:
240 M i Fermor Pepys 1 was christened 2 on 24 Apr 1632 in Mileham, Norfolk, England. He was buried 3 on 8 Nov 1634 in Mileham, Norfolk, England.

Amongst Wills and Adminstrations proved in the court of the Bishop of Exeter. Is one for Femori Pepps, Clerk, Braunton A. 1671.Fermor married Mrs. Grace Weekes 1 on 2 Jan 1666 in Marwood, Devon, England. + 246 M vii Thomas Pepys 247 F viii Jane Pepys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 was born on 11 Jul 1644 in Mileham, Norfolk, England.

131. William Pepys (V) 1, 2 (William , William , William , William , Robert , Thomas ) was born estimated 1582 in Cottenham, Cambridgeshire, England.
EC does not show a marriage for William and shows three children, Elleanor, George and Frances. Two of these names appear on VRI as children of William: Elleanor and George, plus Richard, Robert, and Sarah also.
However the dates of children by these names would seem to require another generation in between.

The marriage to Elizabeth Wickstead would appear to fit better with John of Cambridge. Perhaps the marriage property rights document contains information that would clarify this.
