Q.attract such general attention that it seems well to point outa small error that appears in the last instalment. In The Wife of Three Husbands (p. 53, part VI.,vol VI.) it is stated that Lady Mary was married to SirThomas Wise, the builder of Sydenham, who sold the estateof Mount Wise, near Plymouth, and that he and she areburied in Marystowe Church. Lady Mary Chichester actually married the son of SirThomas Wise, builder of Sydenham, and of a house calledMount Wise, near Plymouth. This son also called Thomas,but not knighted, was M.P. for the county of Devon, and diedin London, when the House was sitting in 1641, of small pox. Edward Wise (knighted 1661), grandson of Sir Thomas,and son of Lady Mary and the M.P., sold Mount Wise andthe Manor of Stoke Damarell, in 1667, to Sir William Morrice.Mr. Thomas Wise is buried in St. Margarets, Westminster.Sir Thomas and his wife, Margery (Stafford) lie under themassive monument in Marystowe Church.
