Person:Cecilia Unton (1)

"After the death of Wentworth she remarried with Sir Edward Hoby, of Bisham, Berks, and was his third wife ; but their union was brief, she being again a widow at the time of her death in 1618, only five years after that of her first husband. She chose for burial place the church of Aston Rowant, Oxfordshire, the reason of this selection appearing in the inscription on her tomb, which, happily for the {jeneahigist, records also her marriages and children, though strangely mention is omitted of one daughter, Lady Finch, afterwards Countess of Winchilsea. The inscription is as follows—" Here lyelh buried La. Cicill Hobbee lute before her death y wife of Sir Edwd. Eobbee, of Bisham, Kt., and formerly y8 wife of lhon Wentworth, of Gosfielde, in if county of Essex, Esqr., by which saide former husband shee had and left issue Sr. Ihon Wentworth Kni: and Baronett, Dame Anne y8 wife of Sir Edwd.
