  • Notes 
    • Biography
      Kent (historic flag)
      Anthony St Leger was born in Kent, England.
      Notables Project
      Anthony St Leger is Notable.

      Sir Anthony St Leger (the younger) (c.1535– 1613) was an English-born judge in Ireland of the later Tudor and Stuart eras. He held the office of Master of the Rolls in Ireland, as well as Commissioner of plantation in Munster Ireland. He was the nephew, not the son, of the elder Sir Anthony. His parents were Sir Anthony's brother George St Leger and his wife Thomasine Heath.[1] He was born circa 1535, at Leeds, Kent, England. [2]
      Marriage

      Sir Anthony married three times:

      Eleanor Markham (abt.1548-abt.1598), daughter of Richard Markham of Sedgebrook, Lincolnshire. They had one daughter, Joan St Leger.
      Mary (Southwell) St Leger (1566-1603), daughter of Francis Southwell of Wyndham Hall, Norfolk. They had two children, Anthony St. Leger Kt. (1599-1661) and Frances (who lived for only four days).
      Aphra Wotton - no known children from this union.

      Notes:

      Frances (Saint Leger) Landon (1600-) is Unsourced Child
      Possible connection with Adam Loftus (Archbishop of Dublin), whose great-grand-daughter Jane Loftus married William Markham.

      Death

      Anthony died in Cork early in 1613, presumably while on a mission to Ireland. His body was brought back to England and at his own request. He was buried beside his first wife Eleanor in the church of St. Sepulchre-without-Newgate in London. Mary, his second wife, is buried in St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin. [3]
