Per Stow's 'Survey of London', the following were buried in the church
* Ald. Ralph Greenway, grocer (buried "under the stone of Robert
Pepper"), 1559

This one is interesting.
Some time ago when we were discussing how or whether the White family
of Farnham, Surrey where related to other Whites, it was mentioned
that

John White, Bishop of Winchester

Well some Gremlin made my message shoot off too soon.
At any rate, that
John White, Bishop of Winchester who d Jun 1580 and who is buried
at Winchester Cathedral

Had a brother also called John White who was Sheriff of London 1556
Lord Mayor 1563
and named of Farnham, co Surrey.
This John White died at Aldershot
He has a will dated 29 May 1573, proved 20 Aug 1573

By his first wife Sibyl he had at least or exactly three children
Mary, Robert and Thomas
And by his second wife Katherine Sodaye he had a Catherine White who
m1 William Harding of Wyke near Worplesdon, co Surrey (he purchased
Wyke in 1563); died 1593
m2 David Woodruff, Knt of Poyle, Surrey and of Alvington Court, co
Gloucs. died 13 Feb 1603/4 after having *no less than* NINE (yes nine)
children by this wife. (She essentially never left off being
pregnant.)
m3 George Wrottesley, Knt, purchased Badminton, co Gloucs later of
Guildford, Surrey died abt Mar 1636 in which month his widow was
granted admon

Katherine Sodaye's father John was "apothecary" to Queen Katherine of
Aragon and the supposition is that this odd surname is a corrupt
Spanish name, and that he came in her train or shortly after.

John Sodaye is also given the claim of "of Perpignan, co Roussillon
*near* Spain", but he was later "of London". It was his son, not he
himself, who was later apothecary to Queen Mary. In addition
Katherine (his daughter) mentions in her will her brother Robert
Sodaye.

We had known that Katherine Sodaye married three times.
1) Ralph Greenway, Alderman of London
2) Jasper Allen (or Allyn)
3) Sir John White
and that she is buried at St Dunstan's 9 Oct 1576

Now knowing that Ralph Greenway, Alderman was himself buried there in
1559, we can narrow the chronology. Also helpful is Henry Macyn's
diary entry stating that the wife of John Sodaye was buried there in
1556

Will,

Good stuff!

We can narrow this down slightly better by looking at the probate
grant for "Ralph Greenewaye or Greeneway, Alderman of St Dunstan in
the east" (PCC: PROB 11/40), made 27 June 1558 (sic); this indicates
that Stow was out by one year.
