Complete Peerage Addition: Hungerford-Percy-Raynsford
Douglas Richardson
Complete Peerage 6 (1926): 621 (sub Hungerford) has a somewhat limited
account of the life of Sir Thomas Hungerford (died 1469), of
Chippenham, Wiltshire, and Kilmersdon, Somerset. The editor states he
married Anne Percy, who, as his widow, "m., 2ndly, as his 2nd wife,
Sir Laurence Raynsford, who d. in 1490."
No date is provided for Anne Percy's second marriage to Sir Laurence
Raynsford, but she was married to him before 24 June 1470, as
indicated by the following ancient deed:
C.287. Demise by Laurence Raynesforth, knight, and Anne, his wife, to
George Darrell, knight, of the site of their manor of Rowden by
Chippenham, Wiltshire. 24 June, 10 Edward IV [1470]. Fragments of
two seals. [Reference: Desc. Cat. of Ancient Deeds 1 (1890): 413].

As a followup up to my original post, I've since determined that a
copy of the same information in the book, Desc. Cat. of Ancient Deeds,
for Laurence and Anne Raynesforth can also be found online on the
PROCAT catalogue (http://catalogue.pro.gov.uk). The PROCAT entry
reads as follows:
C 146/287:
Demise by Laurence Raynesforth, knight, and Anne his wife, to George
Darrell, knight, of the site of their manor of Rowdon by Chippenham:
Wilts.
Date: 24 June, 10 Edward IV.
Elsewhere, on the helpfulp online A2A catalogue
(http://www.a2a.org.uk/search/index.asp), I've also located the
following letters of attorney for Anne Raynsford's first husband, Sir
Thomas Hungerford:

only as Sir Thomas, but I had the Cahiers in front of me where he is called
4th Baron Hungerford.
I only have PA the first edition and there only her second marriage is
mentioned.
Many thanks for correcting me.

You can find the evidence of Anne Percy's third marriage to Sir Hugh
Vaughan cited in my earlier post below taken from the newsgroup
archives. John Higgins is correct in stating that Sir Thomas
Hungerford was not 4th Lord Hungerford.
I might also recommend you acquire a copy of my forthcoming book,
Plantagenet Ancestry, which covers the extensive royal ancestry of
both Sir Thomas Hungerford and Anne Percy. Finished copies of the
book are supposed to be in my hands from the printers on or about May
20th. Please contact me privately for information regarding ordering
the book. My book is specifically designed to be a reference book for
databases such as your great website at www.genealogics.org.

Dear Newsgroup:
Complete Peerage 6 (1926): 621, footnote g (sub Hungerford) states
that Anne Percy, widow of Thomas Hungerford, Knt., "is stated to have
m., thirdly, Sir Hugh Vaughan, to have d. 5 July, and to have been
bur. 9 July 1522 at St. Margaret's, Westminster."
That this marriage took place is proven by a suit found in the Early
Chancery Proceedings as follows:
C 1/510/20 John Grene, bachelor of physic. v. Hugh Wagham [Vaghan],
knight.: Fees for seven years' medical attendance on defendant, Lady
Hungerford, now his wife, his children, and servants.
