Interesting Will Behests

26 Jun 1651

St. John's, Glastonbury, Somerset, England

In anticipation of his demise, George wrote his last will about four months prior to his death.

It appears that George Rayment (1599-1651) was unhappy with his three offspring that immigrated to New England. Behests to these three included 6 pounds to William and 20 shillings to Elizabeth, to be paid only if they came to England to claim their legacies. George's son John must have really been a black sheep of the family as his legacy was a miserly 1 shilling, however, he was not required to come to England to receive his father's behest.

[Here we have the family of William and old John Rayment of Beverly, well known to searchers of the records at Salem. And I am glad to see the spelling conf orm to the pronnnciu.tion as I remember it from eadiest childhood. Present representatives of that family now write their name Raymond. There was a Richard Raymond of Salem, who iivecl on the sonth side of Essex Street, and afterwards removed to Norwalk and Saybrook. Bnt I have never seen the slightest gvidence of a relationship between him and these Rayments of Beverly. The above will confirms me in this. I cannot, here and nov;, without my Essex Co. notes, tell ·what became of Elizabeth Rayment, the sister of'Villiam and John, who also went to New England. Perhaps some of my friends ut home (f or instance the Hon. John I. Baker) may be able to tell us. John Rayment, I believe, succeeded to the ownership of the farm belonging once to Thomas Scruggs, one of the Old Planters, and the old Rayment house (I hope) stands there to-day. I have often passed it in my walks. HENRY F. "'WATERS.]

Dissolution of the Monasteries 1530-1542

The Dissolution of the Monasteries, sometimes referred to as the Suppression of the Monasteries, was the set of administrative and legal processes between 1536 and 1541 by which Henry VIII disbanded monasteries, priories, convents and friaries in England, Wales and Ireland, appropriated their income, disposed of their assets, and provided for their former members and functions. Although the policy was originally envisaged as increasing the regular income of the Crown, much former monastic property was sold off to fund Henry's military campaigns in the 1540s. He was given the authority to do this in England and Wales by the Act of Supremacy, passed by Parliament in 1534, which made him Supreme Head of the Church in England, thus separating England from Papal authority, and by the First Suppression Act (1536) and the Second Suppression Act (1539). Bernard argues: The dissolution of the monasteries in the late 1530s was one of the most revolutionary events in English history. There were nearly 900 religious houses in England, around 260 for monks, 300 for regular canons, 142 nunneries and 183 friaries; some 12,000 people in total, 4,000 monks, 3,000 canons, 3,000 friars and 2,000 nuns....one adult man in fifty was in religious orders. Arts and culture Along with the destruction of the monasteries, some of them many hundreds of years old, the related destruction of the monastic libraries was perhaps the greatest cultural loss caused by the English Reformation. Worcester Priory (now Worcester Cathedral) had 600 books at the time of the dissolution. Only six of them are known to have survived intact to the present day. At the abbey of the Augustinian Friars at York, a library of 646 volumes was destroyed, leaving only three known survivors. Some books were destroyed for their precious bindings, others were sold off by the cartload. The antiquarian John Leland was commissioned by the King to rescue items of particular interest (especially manuscript sources of Old English history), and other collections were made by private individuals; notably Matthew Parker. Nevertheless much was lost, especially manuscript books of English church music, none of which had then been printed. A great nombre of them whych purchased those supertycyous mansyons, resrved of those lybrarye bokes, some to serve theyr jakes, some to scoure candelstyckes, and some to rubbe their bootes. Some they solde to the grossers and soapsellers. —John Bale, 1549 Health and education The Act of 1539 also provided for the suppression of religious hospitals; which had constituted in England a distinct class of institution, endowed for the purpose of caring for older people. A very few of these, such as Saint Bartholomew's Hospital in London, were excepted by special royal dispensation, but most closed, their residents being discharged with small pensions. Monasteries had also supplied free food and alms for the poor and destitute, and it has been argued that the removal of this and other charitable resources, amounting to about 5% of net monastic income, was one of the factors in the creation of the army of "sturdy beggars" that plagued late Tudor England, causing the social instability that led to the Edwardian and Elizabethan Poor Laws. Monasteries had necessarily undertaken schooling for their novice members, which in the later medieval period had tended to extend to cover choristers and sometimes other younger scholars; and all this educational resource was lost with their dissolution. By contrast, where monasteries had provided grammar schools for older scholars, these were commonly refounded with enhanced endowments; some by royal command in connection to the newly re-established cathedral churches, others by private initiative. Monastic orders had maintained, for the education of their members, six colleges at the universities of Oxford or Cambridge; of which five survived as refoundations. Hospitals too were frequently to be re-endowed by private benefactors; and many new almshouses and charities were to be founded by the Elizabethan gentry and professional classes. Nevertheless, it has been estimated that only in 1580 did overall levels of charitable giving in England return to those before the dissolution. On the eve of the overthrow, the various monasteries owned approximately 2,000,000 acres (just under 8 100 km²), over 16 percent of England, with tens of thousands of tenant farmers working those lands; some of whom had family ties to a particular monastery going back many generations. Politics The dissolution and destruction of the monasteries and shrines was very unpopular in many areas. In the north of England, centring on Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, the suppression of the monasteries led to a popular rising, the Pilgrimage of Grace, that threatened the Crown for some weeks. In 1536 there were major, popular uprisings in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire and a further rising in Norfolk the following year. Rumours were spread that the King was going to strip the parish churches too, and even tax cattle and sheep. The rebels called for an end to the dissolution of the monasteries, for the removal of Cromwell, and for Henry's daughter, and eldest child, the Catholic Mary to be named as successor in place of his younger son, Edward. Henry defused the movement with solemn promises, all of which went unkept, and then summarily executed the leaders. http://www.ask.com/wiki/Dissolution_of_the_Monasteries?o=2801&qsrc=999&ad=doubleDown&an=apn&ap=ask.com Less

Offices Held

• 1518: Lent reader of the Inner Temple

• June: 1514 - 1520: under sheriff of London

• 1520: Recorder of London

• 1529: Sir William was knighted after 3 Nov 1529 [2]

• 1526 - 1549: Justice of the Common Pleas (see image by Rowlandson)

William lived in the parish of St Sepulchre when he was in London until his father died. After his father died in January, 1527, William, the oldest son, inherited his father's considerable estates in Hertfordshire, Kent and Sussex.[2] He took up residence at Michelgrove, in the parish of Clapham, which he renovated, and where he entertained Henry VIII. He "bought Clapham manor in the same year. Thereafter the two manors descended together, Michelgrove eventually becoming absorbed in Clapham."[6]

Career in Government and Law

Recorder of London: When William Shelley was made Recorder of London, the retiring recorder, Anthony Fitzherbert, described him as ‘a gentleman of good conscience and well learned in the law of the land’. [2]

Sergeant at Law: Sir William Shelley was appointed by King Henry VIII to the office of Sergeant at Law in 1521. "The order rose during the 16th century as a small, elite group of lawyers who took much of the work in the central common law courts." [7]

Judge of Common Pleas "Sir William found favour with Henry VIII and was made a judge of Common Pleas and recorder of London."[6] William was knighted by King Henry VIII of England in 1529.[2] He accompanied his King to France where at the siege of Boulogne he "lent it [£100] to our said late sovereign lord".[2]

Religion

He was a Catholic.[2] At that time in England, Catholics were called "recusants" and were punished under the law. The Shelley family didn't suffer persecution because William had the favor of the king, and William's religion was ignored.

When William Shelley was born, England was a Catholic country, and the Pope in Rome was the head of the church. When a later king, Henry VIII, beginning in 1532, began breaking off from Rome and establishing an English church with the king as the head of the church instead of the pope, William was already serving his king on the Court of Common Pleas. Although the measures taken against citizens who remained Catholic became more and more severe, the Shelley family prospered because of William's favor with King Henry.

Death and Legacy

His will was dated 6 November 1548, when only four of his sons were still alive.[2] John was his heir and William left the manor of Mapledurham and other Hampshire lands to Thomas, £20 a year to Richard and 100 marks to James.[2] His daughter Elizabeth was to be his executor if his son John died.[2] He died on 4 January, 1549.[2] William was over seventy years old when he died, after a long life of service to his country.

A tomb in Clapham St. Mary's commemorates him, his wife and their 14 children.[2] The monument is located on the north side of the chancel. "William Shelley (d1548/9), a judge, who is shown in his robes and hood of office. He kneels with his wife and 14 children in a recess showing Renaissance influence. One of the daughters is shown as a nun, suggesting that the monument was commissioned before the Dissolution (i e before 1539)."[8] Other tombs in the church belong to his son John and his family.

Sir William Shelley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir William Shelley (1480?–1549) was an English judge.

Life[edit]

Born about 1480, he was the eldest son of Sir John Shelley (died 3 Jan. 1526) and his wife Elizabeth (died 31 July 1513), daughter and heir of John de Michelgrove in the parish of Clapham, Sussex. Of the judge's six brothers, one, John, became a knight of the Order of St John, and was killed in defending Rhodes against the Ottoman Turks in 1522; from another, Edward, who is variously given as second, third, or fourth son, came the baronets of Castle Goring, Sussex (created 1806), and Percy Bysshe Shelley, the poet. The youngest brother, John Shelley, died in 1554. The settlement of an estate which he purchased on the dissolution of Sion Monastery led to the lawsuit known as ‘Shelley's case,’ and the decision known as the Rule in Shelley's Case.

Although the eldest son, William was sent to the Inner Temple not to make a profession of law but in order to understand his own affairs, and according to his son it was against his will that he was made serjeant, and judge, by Henry VIII. From the beginning of Henry's reign he appears on commissions of the peace for Sussex and other counties; in 1517 he was autumn reader in the Inner Temple, and about the same time became one of the judges of the sheriff's court in London. In 1520 he was appointed recorder of London, and in May 1521 was placed on the special commission of oyer and terminer to find an indictment against Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham. In the same year he took the degree of the coif.

In 1527 Shelley was raised to the bench as judge of the common pleas, and in 1529 he was sent to demand from Thomas Wolsey the surrender of York House, later Whitehall Palace. Soon afterwards he entertained Henry VIII at Michelgrove.

He was summoned to parliament on 9 August 1529, and again on 27 April 1536. He was hostile to the Protestant Reformation, and is said to have suffered from Thomas Cromwell's antipathy; but his name appears in important state trials of the period: in that of the Carthusian monks and John Fisher (1535), of Weston, Norris, Lord Rochford, and Anne Boleyn (May 1536), and Sir Geoffrey Pole, Sir Edward Neville, and Sir Nicholas Carew (1538–9).

In 1547 he was consulted by Henry VIII's executors about the provisions of his will. He died on 4 January 1549.[1]

Family[edit]

Shelley married Alice (died 1536?), daughter of Sir Henry Belknap, grandson of Sir Robert de Bealknap of Knelle in the parish of Beckley, Sussex, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas in his era.[2] By her he had four sons:

• John (died 15 December 1550), father of William (not the same person as William Shelley of Hertford, also a prisoner in the Tower in 1580), who was attainted 15 December 1582 for complicity in Charles Paget's treasons, but not executed, and died 15 April 1597, being succeeded by his son John, created a baronet in 1611;

• Sir Richard Shelley;

• the third son, Sir James, was, like Sir Richard, a distinguished and widely travelled Knight of St. John;

• the fourth, Sir Edward, was a master of the household of Henry VIII, treasurer of the council of the north, and captain of Berwick, and was killed at the battle of Pinkie on 10 September 1547.

Their daughter Elizabeth married Roger Copley, father of Sir Thomas Copley.[3]

Landmark Real Estate Law: "Shelley's Case"

1500-1925

A real estate law made by William Shelley that lasted in England until 1925 and to the present day in Canada and some states

The litigation was brought about because of a settlement made by Sir William Shelley (1480–1549), an English judge, on an estate he purchased when the Sion Monastery dissolved. The decision was rendered by Lord Chancellor Sir Thomas Bromley, who presided over an assembly of all the judges on the King's Bench to hear the case during Easter term 1580-1581. The rule existed in English common law long before this case was brought to the court, but Shelley's case gave the law its most famous application.

When an owner of land in fee simple died, the lord of the fee was entitled to "incidents of tenure" deriving from the descent to the heir (analogous to the modern day estate tax).[7] Large landowners who desired the life tenant (who was perhaps the landowner himself, conveying through a straw party) to avoid the estate tax attempted to create a future interest in the form of a remainder in the heirs of that life tenant. It was the intention of the landowner or testator to allow the heirs of the life tenant, once ascertained at the natural expiration of his life estate, to take as purchasers by way of the original executed conveyance, and not by descent, avoiding the tax.

Thus, in a basic conveyance, "O grants Blackacre to B for life, then to B's heirs," absent the rule there was a life estate in B, and a contingent remainder in B's heirs. The Rule converted the contingent remainder in B's heirs into a vested remainder in B.

The Rule's effect ended there. After that, the doctrine of merger operated on the two successive freehold estates placed in the same purchaser (B's life estate and B's remainder in fee simple) and converted them into a single fee simple absolute in B.

B's heirs, necessarily ascertained only at B's death, could only take B's fee simple by descent and had to pay the tax.

Note: Living people have no heirs. B's children and B's heirs are not the same set of individuals. If B has children, they will only become B's heirs if they survive B, which is not guaranteed. It is important not to confuse "heirs presumptive" (which children probably are under most intestacy statutes) and "heirs" (which children might become provided they survive the ancestor whose property to which they are entitled, absent contrary intent expressed in a will).

Thus, a conveyance to B for life, then to B's children, where B has living children C, D, and E, does not violate the Rule because the class members are ascertained, and new ascertained members may join the class so long as B, the class member producer, lives (plus nine months if he is male).

John Shelley died 3 January 1526, Clapham, Sussex, England, age 71.

Michelgrove Sussex

• Shelleys in Sussex were recorded in Rye in East Sussex in the early fourteenth century. A Shelley was knighted for services to King Richard II but then lost his head (literally) when the next king took over. Two generations later, a John Shelley was able, in 1474, to secure the marriage of Elizabeth Michelgrove and thereby bring the extensive Michelgrove estates near Arundel under his control. For three centuries thereafter, the Shelleys were landed gentry in Sussex, with various branches in West and East Sussex. The branch in East Sussex, which later moved to Avington in Hampshire, included the black sheep of the family, the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. As befits a family of this stature, the Shelleys had a coat of arms.

About Elizabeth Shelley

Elizabeth Michelgrove (daughter of John Michelgrove and Mary Sidney) was born 29 Mar 1460 (some 3 months after her father) died in Clapham, Sussex, England, and died June 30, 1518 (sic: 3 July 1514 [5 Hen. VIII]) in Clapham, Sussex, England. She married John Shelley, son of John Shelley and Beatrice Hawkwood. John Shelley established the Shelleys as landed gentry in Sussex with his marriage to Elizabeth Michelgrove in 1474. Shelleys in Sussex were recorded in Rye in East Sussex in the early fourteenth century. A John Shelley was able, in 1474, to secure the marriage of Elizabeth Michelgrove and thereby bring the extensive Michelgrove estates near Arundel under his control. For three centuries thereafter, the Shelleys were landed gentry in Sussex, with various branches in West and East Sussex. The branch in East Sussex included the black sheep of the family, the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley.

Sir John Shelley, whose grandfather was executed by Henry IV for supporting Richard II, was MP for Rye in 1450. There were Shelleys at Michelgrove near Clapham, firm Catholics through the Civil War and beyond, and Shelleys also at Warminghurst, both in what is now West Sussex; the Shelleys of Patcham and Lewes; and then of course the poet, Percy Bysshe, son of a baronet and born at Field Place, Warnham near Horsham in 1792. Various Shelleys also crop up in Hearth Tax assessments and the Catholic register of names in Sussex. But none of these Shelleys can I connect in any way to my Shelleys.

Sir John Hawkwood to the league which he had formed against Pope Urban V., gave Donnina, one of his natural daughters, in marriage to Hawkwood. This marriage, which took place at Milan, is thus described by the Mantuan ambassador in that city. The date is May, 1377 :— " Last Sunday, Sir John Hawkwood conducted a bride with all honours to the house where he was living, that is to say, to the house once belonging to Uasparo del C'onte, in which the late Bishop of Parma lived, and the wedding was honoured by the presence of the lady duchess, and all the daughters of Signor Bernabo. After the dinner the said lord Signor Bernabo, with the mother of the bride, went to the house of Sir John, where there was jousting going on all day. They tell me that after dinner the lady Regina made a present to the bride of a thousand gold ducat9 in a vase. The Signor Marco gave her a zardino of pearls, worth three hundred ducats, and the Signor Luigi* a gift of pearls of the same value, and in like manner did many of the nobles. So much silver was offered in laryexxc to the Englishmen, that it is estimated at the value of a thousand ducats. I have heard that Sir John Hawkwood was near Parma on Thursday, and according to what Signor Bcrnabo Visconti told me, amongst other things, he will soon be starting towards Modena with his English soldiers." The honeymoon seems to have been passed at Cremona, where Hawkwood was making preparations for war. Three daughters, Janet, Catherine, and Anna, were born of this marriage : also a son, John Hawkwood, who succeeded^ his father in 1394. He came to England, and was knighted by Henry IV. in 1407. This worthy gentleman seems to have led an uneventful life. It is recorded that in 1409 he had property at Padbury in Buckinghamshire, and that he married a certain Margaret, with whom he lived to extreme old age. In 1464 they wore living at Sible Hedingham, where they enjoyed the lifehold possession of eighty acres of land Their daughter Beatrix Hawkwood married John Shelley, Esq., M.P. for Rye, in Sussex, in the reign of Henry VI. From them are descended both branches of the Shelley family. It will be seen that Mr. Bayley has made a slight error in stating that Beatrix was the daughter of the famous Sir John Hawkwood (Giovanni Acuto). She was his granddaughter.

Sir William Fitzwilliam (c. 1460 – 9 August 1534) was a Merchant Taylor, Sheriff of London, servant of Cardinal Wolsey, and a member of the council of Henry VII.

Biography[edit]

William Fitzwilliam was the second son of John Fitzwilliam, esquire, of Greens Norton, Northamptonshire, and Helen Villiers, the daughter of William Villiers, esquire, of Brooksby, Leicestershire, by Joan Bellers, the daughter of John Bellers of Eye Kettleby in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire.[1] William Fitzwilliam had four brothers, John, Bartholomew, Richard and Thomas, and two sisters, Mary, who married Thomas Waddington and Richard Ogle, and Katherine, who married Thomas Rowlston and Richard Francis. Two of his brothers, John and Richard, were London merchants.[1]

Church of St Mary the Virgin at Marholm where Sir William Fitzwilliam was buried

Fitzwilliam began his career as a London merchant in the service of Sir John Percyvale. He was admitted to the livery of the Worshipful Company of Merchant Taylors in May 1490. He served as Warden in 1494 and 1498, and was elected Master in 1499.[2] He resided in Bread Street ward, and later in St Thomas the Apostle.[3] In addition to his activities as a London merchant, he became a Merchant of the Staple at Calais. In 1503 he was elected alderman for Broad Street ward. In January of that year he was influential in obtaining a new charter for his Company which allowed the Merchant Taylors to encroach on the interests of the other London companies. In 1505 he was a candidate for Sheriff of London, but was not elected; in 1506 Henry VII intervened to secure the office for him.[2]

In 1510 the Mayor and Aldermen elected him as Sheriff a second time. He refused to serve, and in consequence was fined 1000 marks and disenfranchised. His franchise was restored and the 1000 mark fine was remitted by the Court of Star Chamber on 10 July 1511; nonetheless, he left his career as a London merchant and entered the service of Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, who had aided him during his quarrel with the City authorities. He became Wolsey's treasurer and high chamberlain, and was appointed to Henry VII's council.[3][2]

In addition to several properties which he owned in the City of London, he acquired property at Marholm, Cambridgeshire, and a country house at Gaynes Park in Chigwell, Essex. He served as Sheriff of Essex from 1513 to 1515.[3][2]

In 1515 he was knighted. He had purchased the manor of Milton in Northamptonshire in 1506, and about 1515 went to live there, serving as Sheriff of Northamptonshire in 1523 and 1528. From 1–5 April 1530, after Wolsey's fall from power, Fitzwilliam entertained the Cardinal and his retinue at Milton.[3][2][4]

On 26 May 1533 he signed indentures by which the Merchant Taylors were granted 1200 marks to fund religious services at Crowland Abbey and to maintain four Almshouses at Marholm. He also rebuilt the church of St Andrew Undershaft in London, and the chancel of the parish church at Marholm.[3]

He made his will on 28 May 1534, appointing as executors Sir John Baker and Anthony Cooke, as well as his cousins Richard Waddington and Richard Ogle. The will was proved 5 September 1534.[5] He died 9 August 1534[6] at his mansion house at St Thomas the Apostle in London, and was buried in a marble tomb in the chancel of the church of Marholm.[3][2][7]

Family[edit]

Fitzwilliam married first Anne, daughter of Sir John Hawes, alderman of London. They had two sons and two daughters:[8]

• Sir William Fitzwilliam.

• Richard Fitzwilliam, esquire, who married Elizabeth Knyvet, the daughter of Charles Knyvet, esquire.

• Anne Fitzwilliam, who married Sir Anthony Cooke.[9] Anne was grandmother of the philosopher and statesman Sir Francis Bacon.

• Elizabeth Fitzwilliam, who married Sir Thomas Brudenell.

Fitzwilliam married secondly Mildred, sister of Sir John Sackville (died 1557), and daughter of Richard Sackville, esquire, of Withyham, Sussex, and Isabel, daughter of John Digges, esquire. They had three sons and two daughters:[8]

• Christopher Fitzwilliam

• Francis Fitzwilliam

• Thomas Fitzwilliam

• Eleanor Fitzwilliam, who married Sir Nicholas Strange.

• Mary Fitzwilliam, who married John Shelley.

Fitzwilliam married thirdly Jane, daughter and coheiress of John Ormond, esquire, of Alfreton, Derbyshire, and Joan Chaworth, daughter of Sir William Chaworth. They had no issue. Jane Ormond had previously been the wife of Sir Thomas Dynham (died c. 1520), and of Sir Edward Greville (died 22 June 1528).[7]

• Knole, Ancestral home of the Sackville family which in some way we are related through marraige

•

• History of Knole

Knole has always excited a range of different reactions. Henry VIII liked it so much that he forced Thomas Cranmer, his Archbishop of Canterbury, to hand it to him in 1538. Yet, the following century, the diarist John Evelyn was so depressed by the greyness of this 'greate old fashion'd house' that he hurried out into the sunshine. In the 18th century, Horace Walpole was impressed by Knole's 'beautiful decent simplicity which charms one' but on a later visit decided that it 'has neither beauty nor prospects'.

These mixed emotions can partly be explained by the many faces Knole presents on different days and at different times of the year. On a dull winter's day, as you ride the crest of the knoll in front of the house and the north front looms in sight, Knole's sprawling mass of sodden Kentish ragstone strikes a sombre note. But on a sunny summer's day, the south front, with its colonnade of seven lightly coloured marble arches, dances to a very different tune.

The Sackvilles and Knole

Knole was rebuilt and then furnished in three main bursts of activity, each separated by around a hundred years. In the early 17th century, Thomas Sackville, 1st Earl of Dorset, transformed the late medieval archbishop's palace into a Renaissance mansion. Towards the end of the 17th century, his great-great-grandson, the 6th Earl, acquired Knole's unique collection of Stuart furniture and textiles through his office as Lord Chamberlain. And then, towards the end of the 18th century the 6th Earl's great-grandson, the 3rd Duke, added Old Masters bought on the Grand Tour to Italy and portraits commissioned from contemporary English artists such as Reynolds and Gainsborough.

St Marys the Virgin Burghill

Burghill, Herefordshire, England

St Mary the Virgin, It was graced with a visitation from the romantic poets Wordsworth, who frequented the county often, T.S.Coleridge, and Robert Southey, a poet laureate. In the churchyard stood an ancient Yew tree, that can live for a 1,000 years, the trunk in the early 1800s measured 25 ft (10 m) girth. A dozen such trees were known as the Twelve Apostles. The disciples were used to decorate around the font inside the church, which was rare as a lead covered example around its base. In about 1838 a large oak tree fell on the church and crushed the font. The church dates from 13th century in the north aisle of clerestory nave, the south aisle is 14th century. The chancell was also 14th century despite the imposition of modern "bays" to the identification, the arcades were perfect in 20th century.

Depiction in Ghent manuscript of the Battle of Tewkesbury, after which Sir Gervase Clifton was beheaded

Sir Gervase Clifton (died 6 May 1471) of Clifton, Nottinghamshire and London was a 15th-century English knight and landowner. He was beheaded after the Battle of Tewkesbury.

Origins[edit]

Gervase Clifton (II) was the son of Sir Gervase Clifton (I) (died 15 November 1453) of Hodsock and Clifton, Nottinghamshire, only son of Sir John Clifton (slain at the Battle of Shrewsbury on 21 July 1403), and his wife, Katherine Cressy. The younger Sir Gervase Clifton's mother was Isabel Fraunceys (d. 13 June 1457), the daughter of Sir Robert Fraunceys of Foremark, Derbyshire. His only sibling was a brother, Robert Clifton.[1]

He was a junior member of the Clifton family of Nottinghamshire,[citation needed] descended from the 11th century Alvaredus de Clifton, warden of Nottingham Castle "in the time of William Peverell, bastard son of William the Conqueror".[2]

Career[edit]

Clifton served as Lieutenant of Dover Castle and as Captain of Pontoise, France where he was knighted. He came into an estate at Brabourne, Kent, by his marriage to an heiress, Isabel Herbert. He was Mayor of Canterbury in 1450, served as High Sheriff of Kent for 1439, 1450 and 1458 and represented Kent in the Parliament of 1455.

Clifton was not captain of Pontoise; he was not knighted there. There is no contemporary source that Clifton was ever at Pontoise; Hall is a Tudor historian. He was still an esquire when he became Treasurer of Calais in May 1451, not 1450. (Cal. Patent Rolls, 1446–52, p. 460)

He was briefly Treasurer of the Household of Henry VI and Treasurer of Calais in 1450–1460.

He was declared a traitor for his support of Margaret of Anjou. He took part in and was captured at the Battle of Tewkesbury during the Wars of the Roses and was beheaded in Tewkesbury market place along with other Lancastrian leaders on 6 May 1471.

Marriages and children[edit]

Clifton married twice, leaving no sons, only two daughters and co-heiresses by his first wife.

First wife[edit]

Firstly he married Isabel Herbert (died c. November 1457), widow of William Scott (died 5 February 1434) of Brabourne, Kent, and daughter of Vincent Herbert (alias Finche) of Netherfield, Sussex by his wife Isabel Cralle, daughter and coheiress of Robert Cralle. Their two daughters were:[3]

• Isabel Clifton, who in 1459 married John Jerningham (died 1503) of Somerleyton, Suffolk, by whom she had two sons and several daughters, including:[3][4][5][6]

o Sir Edward Jerningham (died 1515), who married firstly Margaret Bedingfield (d. 24 March 1504), and secondly Mary Scrope (d. 25 August 1548).

o Sir Richard Jerningham (died 1525/6), Gentleman of the Privy Chamber to King Henry VIII, who married Anne Sapcote (d. 14 March 1559), who survived him and remarried to John Russell, 1st Earl of Bedford, by whom she was the mother of Francis Russell, 2nd Earl of Bedford.

o Margaret (or Mary) Jerningham, who married Thomas Stanhope of Rampton and was the grandmother of Anne Seymour, Duchess of Somerset (née Anne Stanhope).

• Joan Clifton, who married John Digges of Digges Court in Barham, Kent and was the grandmother of the scientist, Leonard Digges.[7][8]

Second wife[edit]

Clifton's second marriage, before 20 March 1463, was to Maud Stanhope (died 30 August 1497), widow firstly of Robert Willoughby, 6th Baron Willoughby de Eresby (died 1452), and secondly of Sir Thomas Neville (died 1460), second son of Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury, slain in 1460 at the Battle of Wakefield. Maud Stanhope was the daughter of Sir Richard Stanhope (died 1436) of Rampton, Nottinghamshire by his second wife, Maud Cromwell (died 30 August 1497), daughter of Ralph Cromwell, 2nd Baron Cromwell (died c. 2 May 1417). Maud Stanhope was the niece and coheiress of Ralph de Cromwell, 3rd Baron Cromwell (d. 4 January 1456), and the heiress of her sister, Joan Stanhope (died 10 March 1490), who had married firstly Sir Humphrey Bourchier (died 1471), slain at the Battle of Barnet on 14 April 1471, and secondly Sir Robert Radcliffe of Hunstanton, Norfolk.

There were no children from Clifton's second marriage, and after his death his widow, Maud Stanhope, alleged that he had 'wasted and destroyed' more than £1000 worth of jewels, plate and household goods which she brought to the marriage as her dowry. She died 30 August 1497, and was buried in the Collegiate Church at Tattershall, Lincolnshire.;[9][10][11][12] [13]

Lieutenant Francis Faulkner was the son of "Mr." Edmund Faulkner who came to America from Kingsclere, Southampton County, England, and was married in Salem, Mass., Feb. 4, 1657/58 [sic], by Mr. John Winthrop, to Dorothy Robinson, the marriage being the first on record of an Andover citizen. [NOTE: Lamson gives the wrong marriage year]. He was one of the ten Freeholders required by law to organize a Church there Oct. 24, 1645. He, with Mr. Woodbridge, the first pastor, negotiated the purchase of the Plantation from the Indians. He was one of the few honored with the title of "Mr." In a surprise by Indians April 18, 1676, "at Edmund Faulkner's they wreaked their vengeance on dumb animals...."

A journey of two hundred years ago from one town to another was made slowly and with many liabilities of delays from Indians, wild beasts, bad roads (if there were any at all), swollen streams, or dangers of being lost in storms or misled by imperfect landmarks of trees, stakes, and stones. "Entertainment for man and beast' was a frequent necessity in these wearisome journeys. The first man in a town frequently took in travelers as a courtesy; thus it often occurred that the Inn-Holder was one of the principal citizens. He was often also a "Vintnor." As the sale of liquor or strong drink to Indians made much trouble, the Court ordered that only the most trustworthy men should be licensed. The first on record to whom this license was granted in Andover was Mr. Edmund Faulkner in 1648. The Inns were frequently the resort of marriage, being the largest houses in town.

Edmund Faulkner sailed in 1639 from England to Salem aboard the Joan and Ann.

Edmund Faulkner and Dorothy Raymond (Robinson, Widow) were married 4 February 1647, by John Winthrop, in Salem, Essex, Massachusetts. This was the first marriage on record of an Andover citizen.

Edmund Faulkner came first to Salem, and was the 9th settler in order of their coming to Andover, Massachusetts. In 1645 he was one of the founders of the First Church of Andover. He was licensed in 1648 as the first innkeeper in town. He was one of the ten freeholders who organized the Andover Church, October 24, 1645, and was one of the few honored with the designation of “Mr.” in the records. He was a selectman, and was town clerk in 1674-5. In 1662 Edmond Faulkner received £200 as a bequest from his brother “Francis Fawconer of Kingscleare, Hants, gent.” By this time, Edmond had already settled in Andover.

He made William Twiss of Andover his attorney in 1650 to collect legacy from the estate of his father, Richard Falconer, late of Kingsclear, Hampshire, England.

Edmund Faulkner took the oath of allegiance at Andover, February 11, 1678, and was selectman in 1674; town clerk 1676, and held other positions of honor. In 1686 he was the Constable of Andover.

A journey two hundred years ago from one town to another was made slowly and with many liability of delays from Indians, wild beasts, bad roads (if there were any at all,) swollen streams, or dangers of being lost in storms or misled by imperfect landmarks of trees, stakes, and stone.

“Entertainment for man and beast” was a frequent necessity in these wearisome journeys. The first man in a town frequently took in travelers as a courtesy; thus if often occurred that the Inn-Holder was one of the principal citizens. He was often a “Vintnor.” As the sale of liquor or strong drink to Indians made much trouble, the Court ordered that only the most trustworthy men should be licensed. The first on record to whom this license was granted in Andover was Mr. Edmund Faulkner in 1648. The Inns were frequently the resort for marriage, being the largest houses in the town.

He, with Mr. Woodbridge (the first pastor), negotiated the purchase of the plantation from the Indians and family tradition says the price paid to the Chief Cutshamakin (who was called the Chief of Massachusetts) was twenty gallons of rum and a red coat. In truth, not only was Cutshamache not the supreme Indian ruler of Massachusetts, he didn’t even have enough authority to sell Andover.

King Phillip’s War: On April 18, 1676, King Phillip and Indians had a surprise attack on his house, knocked off one of his cow’s horns, cut out her tongue, put a horse, ox and cow into a hovel and then set it afire, “only to show how they delighted in exercising cruelty.” Edmond Faulkner’s house was burned, and his cattle were killed. There were many other attacks.

The recurring attacks by the Indians necessitated the erection of houses for safety, to which the scattered settlers might flee. The home of the Faulkner family at South Acton is one of those garrisons, or strong houses, of the territory originally included in Old Concord.

John Faulkner was one of twelve men who served from Andover with Capt. Gariner’s Company. They marched in the dead of winter into the Narragansett country, and Dec. 19th, met the hostile Indians in the celebrated Swamp fight, where they defeated and completely routed them.

His youngest daughter, Hannah (1658-1697/98) and her husband, Pasco Chubb, were killed by the Indians February 22, 1697/98, at Andover. The Indians were thus revenged for a cowardly and treacherous act of Chubb’s when in command of Fort Pemaquid in 1666. Pasco Chubb had killed several Indians who came to exchange prisoners; then when the French and Indians attacked the fort, he gave up the fort stipulating only for his personal safety. For this act of treason he was cashiered and put in the Boston jail, but was finally released and was living in seclusion at Andover when the Indians found him. This was the last assault on Andover.

A nephew, Col. Francis Faulkner, of Acton, Massachusetts, was chosen town clerk for 35 years successively from 1762. He was a member of the Provincial Congress, 1774, and a Representative in the G. C. 1783-4-5. He was also a member of the committee of safety, and of several other important committees held during the war of Independence. He held a commission in the military service of George III, but the arbitrary and oppressive acts of Great Britain caused him to renounce his allegiance to the Crown, and he became a strong advocate of the Revolution. In the spring of 1775 he was elected Major of regt. organized to oppose an anticipated British aggression. On the morning of April 19, 1775, a courier was sent to notify him that the British troops were on their way to Concord. He immediately discharged a gun three times in rapid succession, which was the alarm signal to call his men together. The courier arrived by daylight, and at sunrise Maj. Faulkner marched with a goodly number of men who constituted a part of the command collected in Concord to oppose the operations of the British forces. He was in the skirmish there that morning, and with his men participated in the pursuit of the enemy to Charlestown. He was afterwards in several engagements during the war; was Lt. Col. 1776, and commanded the regiment which guarded the prisoners after Burgoyne’s surrender, en route to Cambridge.

Following is an entry found regarding Edmund Falkner and his son-in-law, Joseph Marble: “I haue paid Joseph Marble 8 s 7d which he say hee haue paid you: but I suppose tear is not so much dew to you: beside this yeare: for thee was 4 11 1-4 of hopps: I sent you this Last summer the which I doe question whether you haue it upon accounts: Ed. Fawner.”

Edmund Faulkner’s Last Will and Testament: Edmund Faulkner was prominent in the affairs of the town of Andover, Massachusetts. In his will he left assets to his “son-in-law” Joseph Robinson (really his step-son.) Circumstances point to the fact that Edmund Faulkner married the widow Dorothy Robinson, and that Joseph Robinson was her son by an earlier marriage. Dorothy Robinson and her four-year-old son Joseph, had to have come from Kings Linne, Norfolk, England, where there were Fawlkners.

Edmund Faulkner died 18 January 1686 (about age 62) in Andover, Essex, Massachusetts. He was buried in the Old North Parish Burying Ground, North Andover, Essex, Massachusetts.

Edmund Faulkner, one of the purchasers of the tract (which became Andover) from the Indians, was one of the early settlers; he was a prominent man in the affairs of the town during its early years. He made his will 9 Sept. 1684 and died 18 Jan. 1686/7.

9. Descendants of Richard Faulkner [link died] by Patricia Hanning. Well documented. One April 19, 1676, Indians attacked the town, killing some, capturing some, and burning Edmond's house. There were many other attacks. On March 5, 1698, Hanna, Edmond's daughter, and her husband, Capt. Pascoe Chubb, were both killed along with many others. This was the last assault on Andover.
