:"He was also second husband of Agnes Danvers, and the grandfather of Sir William Waldegrave."
:"[[Danvers-2|Agnes Baldington]]'s second husband was [[Fray-2|Sir John Fray]], a lawyer, and a celebrity in his day. A Hertfordshire man, he represented the county in the Parliaments of September 28, 1419, and in that of November, 1420. In the latter sat with him his future father-in-law, [[Danvers-5|John Danvers]], than whom he cannot have been many years the junior. In the year 1428-24 he was Recorder of London, and in the following year was raised to the Bench as Baron of the Exchequer, and in 1436 became Chief Baron, and presided in the court for twelve years. He died in the year 1461, and was buried in the church of St. Bartholomew the Less in Smithfield. His heirs, as we learn from his inquisition (No. 28 of 1 Edward IV.), were his four daughters — [[Fray-1|Elizabeth Waldegrave]], aged 20 ; [[Fray-86|Margaret]], wife of John Lynham (Plomer), aged 19; [[Fray-13|Agnes]], aged 18; and [[Fray-3|Catherine]], aged 14. Thus, [[Danvers-2|Agnes Fray]] had living two daughters with the same Christian names, and this was one of the sources of the confusion we shall presently notice regarding her marriages."Memorials of the Danvers family (of Dauntsey and Culworth), pg 144 [https://archive.org/stream/memorialsdanver00macngoog#page/n191/mode/2up]
