William Sandes of Furness fells, Married Margaret Rawson, daughter and heir to William Rawson of Co. York. West states that his wife was also cousin and heiress to Thomas Rawlinson, Abbot of Furness, 1440-46.
H Visitations: Cumb 1615, Worcest. 1569, Canbridge 1575 and 1623., Surrey 1530, 1572 and 1623, Gloster 1623, Wilts and Dorset 1623, Kent 1619, Bucks 1634 Bp.S.Ped.
On 26 March, 1536, Harry Huttoft, a Southampton customs official, when writing to Cromwell about charges to be levied on goods at the port, stated that there was much talk there about the suppression of religious houses, adding, with the assurance that was characteristic of most of Cromwell's friends and tools, 'Let me be a suitor for one, viz. the house of Mottisfont, where there is a good friend of mine with as good a master and convent as is in the country. If none are to be reserved, but all must pass one way, please to let me have it towards my poor living.' (fn. 3) The house was actually surrendered on 22 May following. (fn. 4)
Huttoft did not however succeed in getting his longed-for share of the monastic plunder, for. Mottisfont fell to the lot of a much more influential person, William, Lord Sandys, K.G., the king's chamberlain. The grant, dated 14 July, 1536, conferred on him and Lady Margery, his wife, the site and the whole of the possessions and advowsons of the late priory. (fn. 5)
Cant. Archiep. Reg., Peckham, ff. 290b, 230.

Heiress to both her father William, and her cousin Thomas Rawson abbot of Furness 1440 -1446.

[4] John Wintershall = Joan Humpfrey
[5] Richard Wintershall =
[6] Richard Wintershall of Little Stoke, Oxfordshire, England = Elizabeth Stoner

[7] Mary Wintershall b. 1519,Bentley, Hampshire, England? Some sources show a birth place of Hampshire England.
My research shows She may have been born in the area of Little Stoke, in Oxfordshire, England = Henry Freeman ? Edmund Freeman, birth/christening 1529 England,Father: Henry Freeman,Mother: Mary Wintershall. This part of the line is giving me troubles. Some sources in my feeble search:
