and two bankrupting wars instead.

(iv) Oliva Stapylton
m1. Sir William Vavasor, Bart of Copmanthorp (d Copenhagen 1658)
BEB1841 (Stapylton) reports that Oliva's 2nd husband was John Hutton of Maske but BEB1841 (Vavasor) reports that Sir William's widow's 2nd husband was Richard Topham. BLG1952 (Hutton) identifies the wife of John Hutton as Frances, 2nd dau of Bryan Stapleton, so we presume that BEB1841 (Stapylton) mixed up the husbands of 2 sisters.
