Biography
Francis Marbury, born in London and baptised there on 27 October 1555, was one of six children of William Marbury (1524–1581), and the youngest of three sons.
William Marbury, who possibly attended Pembroke College, Cambridge in 1544, was a lawyer in Lincolnshire, a Member of Parliament and a member of the Middle Temple, where he was admitted "specially ... at the instance of Mr. Francis Barnades" in May 1551, and still active until 1573.
Agnes Lenton (1528-1581), the daughter of John Lenton of Old Wynkill, Staffordshire according to historian John Champlin, but genealogist Meredith Colket suggests that Lenton was from Aldwinkle in Northamptonshire, which is much closer to where the Marburys lived.
Francis Marbury was likely schooled in London, perhaps at St Paul's, and he became well grounded in Latin as well as learning some Greek. Though he (Francis) was born and raised in London, his family maintained close ties with Lincolnshire. His older brother, Edward, was knighted there in 1603, and died in 1605 as the High Sheriff of Lincoln.
