  Wikitree:
  Richard Chetwode was the son of Roger Chetwode, of Oakley, Staffordshire, and Ellen Masterson, daughter of Thomas Masterson.[1]
  He was born in 1528 in Worleston, Cheshire, England[2][citation needed]
  Before January 1555/6, Richard married Agnes Wodhull. She was the daughter of Anthony Wodhull and Anne Smith. The legality of the marriage was in question because Richard had eloped with 14 year old Agnes. The marriage was litigated, annulled, litigated again and declared valid. This explanation is provided in his biography at History of Parliament Online:
  "In 1556 he eloped with a 14 year-old heiress, Agnes Woodhull, and much of the remainder of his life was spent in trying to get their marriage recognized. Agnes’s father, who owned land in Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire, and Oxfordshire, had died when she was only a few days old, and Sir Anthony Wingfield had bought the wardship for £400. After Wingfield’s death, Frances, Duchess of Suffolk and a certain Margaret Blackbourne both claimed custody of the girl, and as late as April 1559 the Duchess was writing to Cecil about the matter. A Charles Tyrrell, who prosecuted Chetwode in the ecclesiastical courts, was another interested party. Whether or not Chetwode’s committal to the Tower in July 1556 for ‘lewd and presumptuous words’ to the lord steward and ‘evil behaviour before the lords of the Council’ was connected with his abduction of Agnes Woodhull, a second imprisonment there in February 1557 certainly was. Eventually the marriage was voided by the ecclesiastical court, whereupon Chetwode appealed to Rome, and the suit was still pending when Elizabeth came to the throne. Within a fortnight of her accession the Privy Council instructed Sir Edward Carne, the Marian ambassador at Rome who was about to be recalled, not to ‘use his authority in soliciting or procuring of anything in the matter of matrimony depending between Mr. Chitwood and Mr. Tyrrell’. Chetwode now used his friendship with leading statesmen of the new reign and presumably his membership of the 1559 Parliament to secure the insertion in the Act of Supremacy of a proviso protecting his suit or, if matters went against him at Rome, granting him the right of appeal to the archbishop of Canterbury. There is no record of any decision, either by Rome or Canterbury, but the son of the marriage, Richard, inherited the Woodhull property in Bedfordshire and elsewhere."[3] Although this says that there was no decision, Richardson states that the Court of Audience rescinded the annulment in 1559.[4]
  Richard and Agnes had 1 son:[5]
  • Richard
  Husband Richard Chetwode was buried 12 Jan 1559/60 at St. Dunstan's-in-the-West, London. His Will was dated 6 Jan 1559/60 and proved 26 Oct 1560.[6] He apparently left many debts. In his Will, he asked his executors to try to collect money promised to him by the 4th Duke of Norfolk for some property.[3]
  
  AGNES WOODHULL was born about 1542 of Warkworth, Northamptonshire, England, to Anthony Woodhull (1517-1542) and Anne Smith (1518-1565.) She married Richard Chetwode about 1556, ooof Worleston, Cheshire, England, age 14.
  
  Agnes Woodhull died about 1575 of Bedfordshire, England, age 33.
  
  Wikitree:
  Agnes was the daughter of Anthony Wodhull. As can be seen from the entry made on 6 Nov 1543 (34th year of the reign of Henry the 8th), after Anthony's death, Agnes was only 17 days old when her father died.[1]
  "The Inquisition Taken at Bedford in the Com' of Bedforde the vjth day of November an'o 34 H. 8, after the death of Anthonie Wodhull, saith that the aforesaid Anthonie died the iiijth daie of Februarie the 33 year of the raigne of the aforesaid King, And that Agnes Wodhull is his daughter and next heire and at the time of the decease of Anthonie her father was of the age of xvijtene dayes." [2]
  Before January 1555/6, Agnes married Richard Chetwode (Chetwood/Chytwood), Esq. as her first husband. He was the son of Roger Chetwode and Ellen Masterson, and was a Gentleman of the Privy Chamber. They had one son:[3]
  • Richard, b. ca. 1560
  The legality of the marriage was in question because Richard had eloped with 14-year-old Agnes (born Jan. 18, 1541/2 [aged 17 days at the death of her father on Feb. 4, 1541/2][3]). The marriage was litigated, annulled, litigated again and declared valid. See the profile for Richard for more about this controversy.
  Husband Richard Chetwode was buried 12 Jan. 1559/60, apparently leaving many debts. His Will was dated 6 Jan 1559/60 and proved 26 Oct 1560. In it, he asked his executors to try to collect money promised to him by the 4th Duke of Norfolk for some property.[4]
  Agnes married second, in 1561, George Calverley, Knt., who died 5 Aug 1585. In 1561, a "legal suite was instituted, apparently between herself and her husband on the one part, and the trustees of her son by her first husband, to ascertain whether she, Lady Calverley, had a life interest in the Chetwode estates...."[5]
  Agnes and George had two sons:[3]
  • George Calverley
  • Hugh Calverley
  Agnes predeceased George, dying on 20 March 1575/6 at Hockliffe, Bedfordshire.
