Edmund.
They married respectively Joan, Bridget and Anne, daughters of Robert
De Bures, Esq. of Aketon and Anne, sister of Sir William Waldegrave of
Smallbridge.
The latter alone had issue, one daughter, who married Sir Nicholas
Bacon, the eldest son of Sir Nicholas, keeper of the great seal. One of
their sons was Sir Nathaniel Bacon, the artist, who married Jane, Lady
Cornwallis, of Brome Hall.
Anne, daughter of Sir Nathaniel and Lady Jane, became the wife of Sir

Much to the ailing King's grief, Butts died in Nov 1545. He was buried
in All Saints, Fultham; his tomb has a Latin verse by Sir John Cheke.

An item referring to the Cornwallis/Kitson family.
John Wilbye was born at Diss in Norfolk in 1574, the third son of
Matthew Wilbye, a prosperous tanner,
local landholder and amateur lutenist.
Within a few miles of Diss was Brome Hall, the seat of Sir Thomas
Cornwallis, and John Wilbye's musical talents attracted the attention
of the Hall.
In 1593, shortly after Cornwallis' daughter Elizabeth was married to
Sir Thomas Kytson of Hengrave Hall
near Bury St. Edmunds in Suffolk, John Wilbye was appointed a household
musician to the Kytsons, and
remained in their service for thirty years.
In 1598 Wilbye published his First Set of Madrigals to 3. 4. 5.
and 6. Voices, containing thirty great madrigals, including the bright
Flora gave me fairest flowers and
Adieu sweet Amaryllis, and the darker Of joys and pleasing pains and
Alas what a wretched life.
Sir Thomas died in 1602, but Lady Kytson maintained Hengrave Hall in
the same degree of state.
In 1609
Wilbye published The Second Set of Madrigals To 3. 4. 5. and 6. parts,
apt both for Voyals and Voices
which contains thirty-four great compositions.
After Lady Kytson's death in 1628, Wilbye went to live at the house
of Lady Rivers in Colchester. Lady
Rivers, a few years older than Wilbye, was the youngest daughter of Sir
Thomas Kytson, and had always
been a particular patroness of the composer. Her marriage to Lord
Rivers had not been happy, and when
she left the family seat at St. Osyth she moved to Colchester, some
nine miles distant.

I don't know how the poems came into the possession of
Bright,
so I looked for the surname in the Shakespeare era.

Bacon Surname Origin
Bacon, from the Anglo-Saxon bacan, to bake, to dry by heat. Some derive
this surname from the Saxon baccen or buccen, a beech-tree.
Upon the monument of Thomas Bacon, in Brome Church in Suffolk
(England),
there is a beechtree engraven in brass, with a man resting under it.
It appears, also, that the first Lord-keeper, Sir Nicholas Bacon, with
his two wives, are represented in a similar manner.

(excerpts from)

Nicholas Bacon
>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Sir Nicholas Bacon (1509-February 20, 1579) was an English
politician during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England, notable as
Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, and as the father of
philosopher/statesman Sir Francis Bacon.
He was born at Chislehurst, Kent, the second son of Robert Bacon (1479
- 1548) of Drinkstone, Suffolk. He graduated from Cambridge in 1527
and, after a period in Paris, he entered Gray's Inn, being called to
the bar in 1533. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, he
profited by acquiring some of their property, including the Gorhambury
estate, which belonged to St Albans Abbey and lay near the site of the
vanished Roman city of Verulamium (modern day St Albans). From 1563 to
1568 he built a new house, Old Gorhambury House (now a ruin), which
later became the home of Francis Bacon, his youngest son.
.........................................................................
He was twice married and by his first wife, Jane Ferneley, had three
sons and three daughters.
Bacon's eldest son, Nicholas (c. 1540-1624), was member of parliament
for the county of Suffolk and in 1611 was created premier baronet of
England. This baronetcy is still held by his descendants, see Bacon
Baronets.
His second and third sons, Nathaniel (c. 1550-1622) and Edward (c.
1550-1618), also took some part in public life, and through his
daughter, Anne, Nicholas was an ancestor of the marquesses Townshend.
In 1553 he married his second wife Anne (1528-1610), daughter of Sir
Anthony Cooke, by whom he had two sons, Anthony (1558-1601) and Francis
(1561-1626).
....................................................................................................................................
2.
Nathaniel, who SEEMS to be the son of
"Bacon's eldest son, Nicholas (c. 1540-1624)"
and is the Bacon who married Jane, Lady Cornwallis. (I think).
This makes Francis Bacon an uncle to the Bacon/Cornwallises.
(?)
I don't guarantee any of this!
..........................................................................................
Nathaniel Bacon (1585-1627).
He was the earliest British-born painter to produce naturally observed
still-life paintings as well as the first to produce paintings that
depicted purely landscape. Only nine works by the artist survive.
For artists who worked in Britain in the early seventeenth century, few
biographical details usually survive. It is seldom known, for instance,
what an artist actually looked like. Nathaniel Bacon, however, was
clearly interested in exploring representations of his own appearance
and has left four self-portraits, three of which are included in this
exhibition.
A remarkable cache of private letters that Bacon wrote to his wife Jane
has also survived. These are the earliest known personal letters (as
opposed to business letters) by a British artist.
Unusually, it was his wife who went up to London on financial business,
while he remained in Suffolk, in charge of the couple's three young
children. An affectionate husband, he writes about family life in a way
wholly recognisable to a 21st-century audience. Two of the letters will
be shown.
Of noble birth, Nathaniel Bacon was almost unique among his
contemporaries in that he did not need to paint for money. He was also
an avid gardener and is credited with breeding a special strain of
pear. His contemporaries sought his advice not only on art but also on
plants.
