Elizabeth Compton was the daughter of Edmund Compton (1440-1493) and Joan Aylworth.
She was married twice, first to Walter Rodney, by whom she had a son, John (1506-December 25, 1549)
and second, usually dated c.1528, to Sir John Chaworth (c.1498-September 3, 1558).
Elizabeth appears to be the only sister of Sir William Compton the courtier, which presents a small mystery. Court records make note of the marriage of a sister of William Compton in July 1511. Either the date of John Rodney's birth or the date of the second marriage is wrong, or Elizabeth took another husband between Rodney and Chaworth. By 1548, Chaworth had remarried. He had no children by Elizabeth Compton.
