DANCY, (ELIZABETH) second Daughter of Sir Thomas More,
Born in London, 1509, was instructed in the learned language, and most of the sciences, by eminent masters. She corresponded with Erasmus, who applauds her for her pure Latin stile and manner of writing. She was married, when very young, to Mr. Dancy, the son and heir of Sir John Dancy. What she wrote, and when she died, I do not find recorded.
