Family and Education
2nd s. and h. of Hamon Sutton I*; yr. bro. of Robert*. m. Agnes, Her family is unknown but the will of Hamon’s brother Robert, dated 18 Mar. 1452, raises the possibility that she was a Babington. Robert bequeathed to his sister ‘Babyngton’, his ‘yong gray Aumbelyng stagg’, and it may be that he was referring to his sister-in-law: Lincoln Diocese Docs. (EETS, cxlix), 58. It is, however, much more likley that he is describing a blood sister who married into the Babington fam., and that our MP’s own marriage did not take place until after he had fallen heir to the Sutton estate. 1s. 1da. Dist. 1465.
