ANNE CHARLTON, born about 1480. She married about 1500 RANDALL GROSVENOR, Esq., of Bellaport (in Muckleston), Shropshire, son of Randall Grosvenor, Esq., of Bellaport (in Mudkleston), Shropshire, by Margaret, daughter of Randall Mainwaring, of Caringham.

VIII. Anne Charlton, born around 1480, married in 1500 Randall Grosvenor of Bellaport, Shropshira, born around 1480, died in 1359/60. The paper by Alice Maud Peel touching the Charltons of Apley, published in part two of the 1950 Transactions of the Shropshire Archaeological Society, contains several serious errors. It ignores the above cited Visitation and fails to prove marriages through contemporary record evidence. For example, it claims that Richard Charlton was succeeded by his brother William, called "Stout William," who had a daughter Cicely, married to Randall Grosvenor of Bellaport. However, we know from record evidence (inquisitions post mortem on the estate of this Randall Grosvenor's father which call the son's wife daughter of Richard Charlton and cite the 1500 indenture given by the latter at the marriage settlement of his daughter Anne), adduced by Mr. Jacobus at pages 9 and 10 of his Bulkeley Genealogy, that Randall Grosvenor s wife was indeed the daughter of Richard Charlton of Apley.

They had the following children.

  F i Elizabeth GROSVENOR was born in 1515. She died about 1591.
