Life
According to History of Parliament, Nicholas Mynn was the son of John Mynn of Woodcote, Surrey. Other sources say he was the son of Robert Wynne and a daughter of Lord Rich.
John Mynne of Woodcote (c. 1520 – 1595) was the son of Nicholas Mynn (d. 1528), and the grandson of Nicholas Mynne of Fransham Parva, Norfolk (d. 1530). Nicholas Mynn (d. 1528) came to the Manor of Horton on his marriage (about 1519) to Joan Merston (d. 31 October 1540), with whom he had five children, William, John of Woodcote, Nicholas, Frances and Elizabeth. After his death in 1528 his widow remarried to become the first wife of William Saunders.
During John of Woodcote's minority William Sander was granted an annuity of 4 issuing from the manor of Horton, with wardship and marriage of the said John. John Mynne held the manor in 1564. He died in 1595, leaving a son and heir William, whose son John succeeded his father in 1618. John married Alice daughter of William Hale and settled various lands and tenements on her, among them the manor-house of Horton ; but in order to pay his debts he with the consent of William Hale sold these estates to George Mynne of Woodcote in 1626. George Mynne left two daughters, co-heiresses; Elizabeth married Richard Evelyn and Anne married Sir John Lewknor. On the division of the estate the manor of Horton fell to the share of Elizabeth, who, having survived her husband and children, left the manor to Charles Calvert, fourth Lord Baltimore, a great-grandson of Anne, daughter of George Mynne of Hertingfordbury, a connexion of her family.
John Mynne of Woodcote had at least three children, Sir William Mynne, John Mynne (junior), also of Woodcoate, and Nicholas Mynne of Walsingham, Norfolk.
Nicholas Mynn of Little Walsingham married on 28 March 1567 Elizabeth (b. 8 February 1547), the daughter Sir Robert Drury by his wife Audrey Rich, the daughter of Richard Rich, 1st Baron Rich, Lord Chancellor of England, and sister of Sir William Drury, and child bride and widow of Thomas de Grey of Merton in Norfolk, whom she had married at age eleven. Nicholas Mynne and Elizabeth Drury had three sons and three daughters.
