3rd wife, but not for long - Broadhembury church Devon

"To the memory of the trewly virtuous Penelope, the daughter of Sir Raynold Mohun knight and baronet, for a short tyme wife unto William Drew of Broad Hembury in the county of Devon esquire

My name was Mohun, my fates like various weare

My short lifes often changed makes it cleare

A virgin starre on earth, a while I shind

With noted splendour, chiefly of the mynd

Till by William Drew me to to his nuptial bed

Thence soone by gods high call to heav'n I fled

Not without hope in Christ, to be a gemme

Set in the walles of new Jerusalem

Who was buried the 30 day of March 1637"
