Families covered: Hewet of Headly Hall, Hewet of London, Hewett of Pishobury

BEB1841 (Hewet of Headly Hill) starts with Robert of Killamarch but mentions in a note that "Of the same family was Sir William Hewet, Lord Mayor of London, 1559, but whether brother to this Robert is not certain". We provisionally show them as brothers, with Sir William (arbitrarily) being shown as the elder, but note the uncertainty on this.

Edmund Hewet father of Sir William, possibly also of Robert

Sir William Hewet, Lord Mayor of London (d 06.02.1566, clothworker)

m. (Elizabeth) Leveson of Kent

Anne Hewett (d 14.07.1585)

m. Sir Edward Osborne, Lord Mayor of London (d 1591)

BEB1841 reports that, when Anne was young and the family lived on London Bridge, a maid dropped Anne into the river Thames. One of Sir William's apprentices, Mr. Osborne, "leap'd in bravely, and saved the child. In memory of which deliverance, and in gratitude, her father afterwards bestowed her in marriage on the said Mr. Osborne, with a very great dowry".

B.+

3 sons (dvpsp?)

BEB1841 notes that Sir William had 3 sons but Visitation (London, 1568 (1598), Osborne) identifies Anne as Sir William's heir.
