Brother «b»Thomas Knyvett«/b». Sergeant Porter to «u»«b»Henry VIII <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/aboutHenryVIII.htm>«/u»«/b». He acquired Ashwellthorpe through his marriage to «b»Jane Bourchier«/b», heiress of «b»John Bourchier«/b». «b»Edmund«/b»'s will, dated 24 Jun 1546, and probated the same year, mentioned his wife, «b»Jane«/b», and his children, but not by name. The will of «b»Jane Knyvett«/b», widow, daughter and sole heir of «b»John Bourchier, Knight, late Lord Berners«/b», deceased, was dated 8 Apr 1560, and probated Dec 1562. It included a record of an earlier legal document that mentioned her sons, «b»William«/b» and «b»Edmund Knyvett«/b», as well as her son, «b»John Knyvett«/b», her heir apparent. Mentioned in the will were her sons, «b»William«/b» and «b»Edmund«/b», her daughters and sons-in-law, «b»Alice«/b» and «b»Oliver Sheers«/b», «b»Rose Reymes«/b», widow, and «b»Christian«/b» and «b»Thomas Foster«/b», and her "cousin", «b»Thomas Knyvett«/b», her heir apparent (presumably her grandson, the oldest son of her son, «b»John«/b»). Also mentioned were her "goddaughters", «b»Jane Walpole«/b», «b»Mary Walpole«/b», and «b»Bridget Walpole«/b», all unmarried, "the same Agnes" (unmarried and unidentified), «b»Bridget«/b» (the daughter of «b»Edmund Knyvett«/b») who was unmarried, and «b»Henry«/b» (the son of «b»Thomas Knyvett«/b») who was under 21. One of the executors was her son, «b»William Knyvett«/b». The "goddaughters" must be "granddaughters", since the will of «b»William Walpole«/b», son of «b»Catherine«/b» and «b»John Walpole«/b», dated 5 Aug 1587, and proved 5 Dec 1587, in the PCC, mentioned his mother, «b»Catherine«/b», now married to «b»Thomas Scarlett«/b», and his sisters, «b»Mary Houghton«/b», «b»Jane Ryvett«/b», and «b»Bridget Houghell«/b» (amongst others)
