* Evelyn (Mary, 1635-1709).

John Evelyn's collection was stored with the Honorable Sherman Stonor (1913-76), at Stonor Park, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. C.J.A. Evelyn, author of a number of mathematical papers and books, was a Tenant for Life to the Family Estates and Heirlooms from 1925-1965. Mary Evelyn, wife of acclaimed diarist and founding member of the Royal Society John Evelyn, was the only child of Sir Richard Browne and his wife Elizabeth Pretyman. Her father was a Royalist, and was appointed to the position of English resident in Paris in 1641 by Charles I. He remained in Paris until 1660, serving the young Charles II after his father's death. During this period Browne's house in Paris became a focal point for exiled Royalists, one of which was John Evelyn. When Evelyn married Mary Browne on 22nd June 1647 the bride was only twelve or thirteen years old; she remained with her parents for the next few years, returning to England in 1652 to live with her husband at Sayes Court in Kent, a property which was owned by the Browne family. In 1699 John Evelyn inherited the family seat of Wotton House in Surrey, his elder brother having no issue to pass the estate onto. Mary Evelyn received a good education, which included instruction in drawing as well as French, Italian, and mathematics. She is recognised in her own right for her artistic and literary works, especially her pithy correspondences which shed light on many of the intellectual debates and public characters of the era.
