three Rogers / Two Anastasias

Yikes! I am on a roll today. This is another of those, "Why didn't I see this before?" moments. As you all know, I have been trying to separate all the Roger Newburghs who were living in the mid 15th century at Lulworth. There were three.

But did you know there were also two known Anastasia Newburghs who lived in the same time period? Well, today I finally figured out that both Anastasia's were married into the Frampton family. (separated by two generations) This had me flummoxed for a very long time partly because the three Roger's were all considered knights and technically lived at Lulworth. (The classes of knights are the problem when distinguishing between them.) * See below

THREE ROGERS:

1. Roger (I) HEIR and grandson to John Newburgh Esq. (d. 1483).
    His father was William, bastard son of the Esquire. His mother was Alice Carent  
    the Esquire's second wife whom he m.  circa 1448. (Feet of Fines Vol. XX, 370-71)

2. Roger (II) was son of the Esquire's eldest son John Jr. (Yorkist) John Jr.'s bros. were Robert &
    Thomas. Roger's father John Jr. who lost his primogeniture when he supported the Yorkist cause.
​    **see more explanation below.  Anastasia #2 below was the daughter of this Roger.
    
3. Roger (III) son of of Roger #2 above (probably a Yorkist)
    (Knight of the Bath 1494 and steward to Milton Abbey 1511)

WOMEN NAMED ANASTASIA:

1. Anastasia (I) - the Esquire had a daughter named Anastasia who married into the Frampton family probably in the 1450's.  Her mother was Edith Attemore. Edith's grandmother was Anastasia.

2. Anastasia (II) was the daughter of Roger #2 above and she married Sir James Frampton (KB) who rode with Roger #3 above serving the King. 

ANCESTRAL ANASTASIA

The original Anastasia was the 1st wife of Adam Attemore (d. 1384), who was grandfather to Edith Attemore who was the first wife (m. 1422) of John Newburgh Esq. of Lulworth (d. 1483)

It also appears (IN THE PEDIGREE BELOW) the family's affiliation with Symondsbury was evident as early as the 1470s.

*****************************************

*  With several classes of knights it becomes extremely difficult to distinguish who was who - based
    on their knighthood.  Roger #1 was probably a KNIGHT OF THE SHIRE, which was an elected
    position by the gentry of each county. Being a KNIGHT OF THE BATH (KB) was a different kind
    of knighthood when young men were inducted by the King himself after proper ceremony. 
    (see newsletters for more.)

    **John Jr.'s half brother William (father of Roger # 1 above) died on the Tewkesbury Battlefield in
       1471. Four months later their father John Newburgh Esq. transferred  his legacy via charters               (Lulworth, Winfrith et al.) to his grandsons John senior & Roger. 
       John sen. died of the sweating sickness in 1485. His heir was his brother Roger #1 above.
