Robert Draper, Esq., the father of Mrs. Bowyer, was uncle to Sir Christopher Draper, (son of John Draper of Melton Mowbray,) Lord Mayor of London in 1560, whose three daughters, Bennet, Agnes, and Bridget, were married to Sir William Webbe, Sir Wolstan Dixie, and Sir Henry Billingsley, who all also arrived at the civic chair. Robert Draper had been page of the Jewel Office in the reign of Henry VIII., and he obtained a grant of the manor of Camberwell Fryern, which had belonged to the priory of Haliwell. His family were previously of Flintham, in Nottinghamshire...
Mr.Robert Draper was an overseer in the 1538/9 will of Mercy Chamblett of Camberwell, and Master Robert Draper was given a bequest in the 1540/41 will of Thomas Jude of Camberwell, husbandman. He is also mentioned in the July, 1545 will of his nephew, Henry Clitheroe.
