Mary Wolverston, Lady Killigrew (formerly Knyvett; born before 1525 – died after 1587), was a gentlewoman from Suffolk, married into an ancient Cornish family, who was accused of piracy during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1558-1603).
Several sources have confused this lady with her husband Sir John IV Killigrew's mother, Elizabeth Trewennard/Trewinnard, and even with his granddaughter-in-law, Jane Fermor.[1]
