That's awfully specific.
How about the 16th century?
Sir Nicholas Bacon, Baronet, of Redgrave, Suffolk d 22 Nov 1624

Tim Powys-Lybbe...

Um. Isn't 1624 in the 17th century?

He had at least one daughter Ann d 1624 who married plain Robert Drury d1615
Although this Robert was the son of a Knight, I'm not aware of any title he
held himself.

Good find, Will.
His PCC probate record calls him "Robert Drury" (PCC 27.11.1615, PROB
11/126)
Her's calls her "Ann Drury, widow of Hargrave, Suffolk" (PCC 10.6.1624
PROB 11/143)

When did Ann (d 1624) marry plain Robert Drury (d 1615)? The baronecy
was created in 1611, so she was likely not a baronet's daughter at the
time she married, for the title did not then exist. Sir Nicholas Bacon
had 5 sons and 3 daughters.
