In the former, John Gedney of Enderby is stated to have married Isabel, dau. of Vincent Grantham, and the latter has it '■'■Mabel dau. of Vincent Grantham," but has it right in the Grantham pedigree. It should be, Isabel dau. of Edward Grantham of Dunholme (in Allen's Lincolnshire misprinted Durham), as appears by the tomb in Bag Enderby Church. In the Visitation of 1592, also, Troth Gedney is stated to have married (1) Sir Henry Fookes, and (2) Lockton. Lockton in this case should be Broxholme, as to which see inscription in Barrow Church given infra. The Visitation has it right under Broxholme. 1440. March 31.

Andrew Kent Langton sonne heire a 1634. of ~ Anne dau. of Anthony and Eyre of Lincoln. Elizabeth. ANDREW KENT. For proofe to London, vide Somersetshire, t The will of Andrew Kent, of Langton-by-Horncastle, gent., dated 25 Feb., 1639, was pro. Lincoln, 5 Feb., 1640-1. It refers to a deed granting his manor of Horncastle to Robert Richardson, of Redbourn, gent., and William Berridge for certain uses. Testator devises to his mother Jane and his sister Elizabeth Kent, lands in Langton and Thornton, which upon their decease are to descend to his niece Jane Lewis. To Thomas Gibson, of Horncastle, Clerk, he leaves 20s. His benefaction to the poor of Langton is cited in the Charity Reports vol. xxxii. pt. iv. f. 645. The Horncastle Register records the baptism and burial of Margaret his dau. in 1632 ; and the burial of John Kent, of Langton, gent., Sept. 25, 1611. But it is doubtful if other entries in the Register relate to the same family. The next baptism occurs in 1675, an( i only two burials (Thomas Kent, 1640, and Sarah Kent, 1649) appear between 1632 and 1688. The earliest recorded "Kent" marriage dates, 1673-4. The identity of the Bishop of Bath and Wells mentioned in the pedigree has not I believe been determined. No trace of the marriage occurs in Cussan's Lives; but the late General de Havilland, York Herald, wrote me in 1881, that he had no doubt the Bishop was " Still." The General on that occasion ex- amined various Visitation MSS. containing pedigrees of other branches of the Kent family, viz. : C22 fo. 72 b (Visitn. Wilts., 1623); C. 24, fo. 589 (Visitn. London, 1634); C. 38, fo. 72 b (Visitn. Cheshire 1664) ; and though there was then no proof, he thought it " highly probable " that " John Kent, of Well, co. t This refers to the pedigree MS. C22 f. 72b., the Visitations of Wilts, and Somerset for 1623 being bound together. 12 Notes on the Visitation of Lincolnshire 1634. Somerset" (Visitn. Lines., 1634), was the fourth son of Randall Kent, of Coppenhall, co. Chester (Visitn. Wilts, 1623). In that event "John Kent, of Well," was uncle to the John Kent who represented Devizes in Parliament, and who died 1630, aet. 72. See Kite's "Monumental Brasses of Wilts." The Arms, in all respects identical in the said MSS., were granted by Richard St. George, Norroy, the 24th July, 1615, to Roger Kent, of Coppenhall, father of the said John of Devizes. There have been three or four families of the Kent surname located in Lincolnshire, and it may be well to cite them to facilitate any future inquiry. Those of Lincoln city (1554-1850) and North Hykeham (1579-1665) are connected by the wills of Alderman Wm. Kent, pro. 1585, Alice Hill, of Lincoln, widow, pro. same year, and John Kent, of North Hykeham, pro. 1581. The wills of George Kent, prp. 1614, P.C.C. 84 Lawe, and John Kent the elder, of North Hykeham, pro. 15 79-1 580, open the question whether the Kirton-in-Lindsey family was collaterally descended. Two families distinct in descent were connected with Donington-on-Bain and district 1585-1676. I give particulars of one of them. The Rev. Thomas Kent, Vicar of Scamblesby, ob. and will pro. 1623, and P.C.C. Byrde 20. With four daurs. he left I. Elias Kent, gent., will prov. 1628, and P.C.C. Barrington 12, m., and had John, ob. inf., and Martha living 1638. II. Rev. Thomas Kent, Rector of Donington, will prov. 1638, and P.C.C. Lee 74. III. Rev. Abel Kent, Rector of Stenigot, bur. there 1644. His dau. (? only child) m. William Barwell, gent., 1655. IV. Rev. Timothy Kent, Rector of Donington, ob. 1623, aet. 44, will pro. 1624, and P.C.C. Byrde 52. By Ela nee Hanby, his wife, he left i. Thomas Kent, of Donington, gent., will prov. 1654, P.C.C. Aylett 22, m. Rebecca nk West, will pro. 1654, P.C.C. Alchin 45 1, and had a son Thomas, ii. Rev. William Kent, Rector of Stenigot, bur. there 1676, m. and had dau. Jane. iii. Elizabeth m. Pinchbeck, iv. Edward Kent, ob. ante 1653. Timothy Kent, of Maring-on-the-Hill, gent, will pro. 1673, was probably a family connection, but his name does not occur in any of the aforesaid wills. r The Editor is indebted to Mr. P.

By a commission from Robert, Earl of Lindsey, Lord Lieutenant of Lincolnshire, dated the 2nd of July, 5th Charles 1st, his " trusty and well beloved friend Thomas Lister Esq r " is given " the charge and leadinge of a "foote company consisting of — [blank] — souldiers within Sleeford Session," &c, to serve his majesty under Lord Lindsey. 34 He served as High Sheriff of Lincolnshire in 1644. Thomas Lister was elected Member of Parliament for Lincoln city on the 24th May, 1647, i Q the place of John Broxholme, deceased, and sat as such till the dissolution in April, 1653. 35 During tble time he was member he must have been considered an able man, as we find he was appointed one of the Council of State the 13th February, i65i, 36 and is called Major Lister the same year when his name was added to the Militia Commission. 37 He was re-appointed a member of the Council of State in November, 1652, 38 and remained as such till the dissolution. In 1653 the Parliament commended John Archer to Major Lister's notice to procure for him the Registrarship of Wills in Lincolnshire, 39 and in the Calendars of Letters and Papers for this date we find many other notices of him, showing that he was on Committees for Trade, Plantations, Foreign Affairs, Ordnance, and for treating , with foreign ambassadors. He was also one of the Commissioners to try the King, but was only present the first day of the sitting of the Court, when, " finding " it was for the Triall of the King he altogether disliked the same, and Came " away leaveing the Court sitting." 40 He was a Lieut.-Colonel in the Parliamentary army and Deputy-Governor of Lincoln. He sat as member for the County of Lincoln 1653 and 1656, and again in May, 1659, was returned to Westminster, where he continued sitting until the overthrow of the Commonwealth, his name frequently appearing as one of the Tellers on Division. His name was included among the exceptions to the Act of Oblivion, but on the 24th June, 1660, he petitioned the House of Lords that he might receive the benefit of the Indemnity. In this petition he explains how he was not present when the King was sentenced, declaring also that he was " one hundred myles distant " when " the members " of Parliament were pulled out of the Howse by the Souldiers, as likewise "when the order was made upon his late Maiestys Triall." 41 After Lister's dismissal from Parliament in 1653 he possibly found more time to attend to his own affairs, though unfortunately there is no document to show us how he was employed in December, 1648, when he made the excuse that he was away from London, the nearest in date being a lease granted the 27th March^ 1648-9, of land in Rowston to one Thomas Shipman, of 32 Ibid., No. 121. w Bdssingham Deeds, No. 1. u Lister Miscellaneous Papers. 35 Line.

Grance, for 21 years, at ^122 per annum. 42 The 24th January, 1654, he conveyed to Evers Armyn, of Gray's Inn, and William Lister, son and heir of William Lister the elder (his brother), of the city of Lincoln, "the "capital messuage or manor house wherein the said Thomas Lister now " dwelleth," being in Lincoln's Inn Fields, in the parish of St. Giles'-in-the- Fields, with all court-yards, gardens, &c. ; also a rent-charge granted by Thomas Hamley on premises in Coleby in October, 1653, and his coppice, woods, and premises in Wragby and Apley, to be held by these trustees, the house in London and rent-charge for Margaret his wife, with remainder to his nephew, William Lister ; the premises in Wragby, after his death, for the same William. 43 In December, 1661, we find him refusing to pay the 28s. for which he was taxed on his property at Rowston for the relief of maimed and indigent soldiers, but whether his protest was because he disliked the object of the tax, or considered himself too .highly rated, does not appear. 44 He made his will the 16th of May, 1664, then living in his house in Lincoln's Inn Fields, and desired to be buried in the parish church of "Coven Garden as near my dear deceased wife as may be." He left legacies to several of the Armyne family, to the poor of Rippingale, Coleby, and Covent Garden, and the residue of his estates to his nephew, William Lister, on whom by deed dated the 1st of January, 1654, he had entailed his property. In a codicil dated the 15th of February, 1666, he left "cousin Phiser as a legacy for her " pains and care of me ^50." A further memorandum, dated the 28th of October, 1668, evidently written by his nephew William at his dictation, says, " My uncle Lister's intention [is] that if it please God to call him heere to be "buried in Coven Garden Church in the night without any solemnity, his " Body to be put into a Coffin by Mr. Lindans lapt in seareclothes." The following is a list of the chief persons who were to receive mourning rings varying from ten shillings to a pound in value : — Sir Michael and Lady Armyn ; Sir Henry and Lady Massingbeard, " my cousin John Massingbeard " (i.e., nephew, son of sister Elizabeth) ; to my ladies (? Lady Massingberd's) son and daughter ; cousin Tusan and wife ; to " my shee cousen Tusan a mourning gowne for her care and paines in my sickness " ; cousin William Tigh and wife ; Sir John Nelthorpe ; Mr. Dowse ; Mr. Worrell and wife ; Mr. Silvester and wife ; cousin Davis and wife ; Mr. Clarke ; " my sister Tigh a mourning "gowne and to her two daughters and son at home with her each a ring"; to "neice Lister, my best diamond ring to wear for my sake"; my sister Lister ; cousin Fitch Williams and wife ; cousin John Coulthurst and wife ; cousin Phiser a mourning gown; cousin Evers of Grays Inn; John and Thomas Hacke ; Thomas Rushworth and wife ; Thomas Bristow, wife, and eldest daughter ; cousin Richard Bristow the " Grosor " and wife ; cousin Lister Tigh and wife ; cousin George Saunderson and wife (Mrs. Saunderson was his niece) ; Mr. Edward Disney ; Mr. Humphries ; Sir Nicholas and Lady Storton (Lady Stoughton was his niece); cousin William Fisher; brother 42 Rowston Deeds, No. 19. « Lister Miscell.

The will with codicil was proved by William Lister, the sole executor, the 19th of November, 1668, in London. Thomas Lister dying without children, the estates passed to the only son of his brother William. This William Lister the brother was born about 1600, and was admitted to Gray's Inn 12 May 1617. In the days of his youth he may have indulged in a romantic attachment which did not meet with his father's approval, for when a settlement of the property was made in May, 1627, a proviso was inserted to the effect that should William Lister the younger " marry at any time hereafter, or take to wife any of the daughters of George " Nevill of Haddington co. Lincoln Esq." (a neighbour living about three miles from Coleby), he was to forfeit all right to the Rippingale and Rowston estates. 45 In 1638 he was living at Asgarby, near Sleaford, with his wife Mary, who was the daughter of Sir William Ellis, one of the Ordinaries at York in 1634, by Anne, elder daughter of Sir Edmund Thorold, of Hough, knt. 46 The date of William Lister's marriage with Mary Ellis has not yet been ascertained, but he had settled on her as jointure 229 acres of land and certain premises in Howsham and Cadney, co. Lincoln, selling the same to Robt. Farmerie, of Scotton, by deed dated the 2nd January, 14th Charles 1st, in place of which, in January, 1648, Lister demised to Edmund Ellis, of Wellingore (his brother-in-law), and Thomas Thorold, of Harrington, the low pastures in Rowston which had been purchased of James Ryvett in 1607. 47 By September, 1650, he was living in the Close, Lincoln, and was a Justice of the Peace for Kesteven, possibly passing some of his time at Coleby, for we find an entry in the Parish Register to the effect that on the 30th of October, 1654, John Rodgers, the newly-chosen Parish Registrar, came before William Lister, one of the Justices of the Peace, &c, to be sworne, and he was sitting at the General Session at Sleaford the 24th April, 8th Charles II., 1656. 48 He made his will, as of the city of Lincoln, on the 21st April, 1659, desiring to be buried at Coleby. He left to his wife Mary all his personal estate, with the proviso that she provided " a competent porcion " for his dear daughter, Martha Lister, which was to be so much as would bring in ^60 a year. He also names brother Thomas Lister, son William and his wife Frances, with " my little Thomas Lister and Mary Lister my two grandchildren." To his wife Mary he also bequeathed the " tenement in Lincoln where one "Edmund Turnor once lived with the yard thereto adjoyning and the stables "where my horses stand." The poor of Coleby and St. Swithin's in Lincoln were also remembered. The will was proved by his widow, Mary Lister, in London, the 9th March, 1660-1, and he was buried at Coleby on the nth of June, 1660. 45 Coleby Deeds, No. 105. m The Topographer and Genealogist, vol. iii., p. 279. 47 Rowston Deeds, No. I 8a, 1 8, and 9. * Papers, Rowston Bundle. 30 Notes on the Visitation of Lincolnshire 1634. His widow made her will the 27th of August, 1664, and left to her son William Lister her two biggest and best silver tankards and six silver spoons, and all the rest of her household stuff to her daughter Martha Fitzwilliam, George Fitzwilliam being bound, if Martha died without issue, to deliver to William Lister " a jewel which I caused to be made in memory, of my said " deceased husband, with the two first letters of his name thereon set in " diamonds and all such my said plate as hath thereon engraven the amies of "the Listers." She names her "loving cozen Mary Phiper; cousin Hooton " and wife ; her daughter-in-law Frances Lister, &c.," and nominates her " honoured brother Thomas Lister Esq., her worthy kinsman George Sanderson " Esq. and cousin Thomas Dowse supervisors " ; her son William Lister being sole executor. William and Mary Lister's only daughter, Martha, married, between April, 1659, and August, 1664, George Fitzwilliam, of Withern, co. Lincoln, and had by him George, William, and Lister Fitzwilliam, who were all named in the will of their uncle William Lister in 1679; sne being dead before 1 Aug., 1698.* As already mentioned, when Thomas Lister died in 1668, leaving no issue, his nephew William Lister inherited the family property. This William was born in 1632. He was admitted to Gray's Inn, 21st Oct., 1650, and his marriage was arranged in 1655. The marriage settlements are dated the 1st Jan., 1654-5. Thomas Lister, of Coleby, and Margaret his wife joined with William and Mary Lister, the parents of the bridegroom, in settling the manors of Coleby, Rippingale, and Creeton, with land in those places and in Rowston, Bassingham, Aslackby, Dowsby, Thorpe (alias Culverthorpe), Theddlethorpe, and Martin with two parts of the advowson of the church of Rippingale, on William Lister the younger and his heirs by Frances, daughter of the late Sir John Franklyn, of Willesden, co. Middlesex, and sister to Sir John Franklyn, of Moor Park, Baronet, to whom he was shortly to be united. Her portion was ^2,5oo. 49 William Lister appears to have resided at Coleby, and though he inherited his uncle's house in Lincoln's Inn Fields, sold it in March, 1668-9, f° r £hl 20 to the Honble. Cecil Tufton, of Lincoln's Inn, with certain parcels of land belonging. 60 He filled the office of High Sheriff of Lincolnshire in 1669. He and Sir John Brownlow, as lords of the several manors of Downhall and Ringston in Rippingale, had a dispute as to right of road which gives a glimpse of the inconveniences to which the open field system was liable. Lister claimed for his tenant at Downhall that after the 1st of August in each year carts and carriages had gone over a parcel of meadow called Ringston leases or Stannard belonging to Sir John, lying between the manor house of Downehall and the lands pertaining to it in the open west fields of Rippin- gale. It appears,, however, some thirty years before the dispute arose, the Listers had taken to carting over this meadow land at all times of the year, claiming a common highway which Sir John had obtained a verdict against, and that Lister's tenants could only have right of rpad from Lamas until the * Rowston, No. 22. a Coleby Deeds, No. 127, 128. 5 ° Lister Miscell. Deeds. fiBier of Cokbg. 31 field was sown. To accentuate this verdict, Sir John erected posts and rails with a bridle gate, which the Lister tenant promptly broke dowh. Much argument ensued, the tenants claiming that the parcel of meadow was common for any farmer to put their cattle on after the hay was cut and carried away, and the corn taken out of the field, until the field was sown again, and that all the tenants in Rippingale carted over each others lands after Lamas, and they could not see why they might not cart their manure over the fields when fallow, or carry the corn and hay the nearest way to the manor house, as all other persons did, in Rippingale, over other parcels of meadow. 61 We do not know how the difficulty was arranged ; it is probable each party had to make concessions. In September, 1676, William Lister charged his property at Rowston and Bassingham with .£1,500 for the portions of two of his daughters, Eleanor and Anne, and on his death, if they were under age, Eleanor was to receive £30 a year and Anne £40, until they were paid the principal 62 ; he also charged Rippingale with further sums for some of the other children. 53 His will is dated the nth of September, 1676, in which he names his younger sons John and Richard Lister, and his daughters Mary, Elizabeth, Eleanor, Anne, Frances, and Martha, all under age, and for the provision of whose portions he quotes various mortgages and demises. He leaves mourning rings to his brothers (in law) Sir Richard Franklyn, Baronet, and George Franklyn ; Lady Franklyn ; sister (in law) Lady Musgrave (neh Franklyn) ; brother-in-law George Fitzwilliam, of Withern, and Martha , Fitzwilliam "my " sister." The will was proved by the executrix, Mrs. Frances Lister, the 6th of September, 1687. William Lister was buried at Coleby Church the 16th of April, 1687, with much pomp and sable trappings, if we may judge from the bills for black cloth, saddles, hammercloths, tassels for horses, &c, every- thing being blackened for the occasion down to the spurs and bridles ! and all to convey the body not three hundred yards from the manor house to the pretty old church at his garden gate. His wife Frances only survived him a few months, being buried at Coleby the 27th of December, 1687, and amongst her funeral expenses we find nine " Escouchings in silk at 8 s 6 d apese " and four " in Bockram at 5 s o d apese." William Lister had by his wife Frances Franklyn ten children, namely : — Thomas, born about 1657, and succeeded to the family estates. Mary Lister, named in her grandfather's will, 1659, and on whom her father settled a portion of £1,500 by his will. She died unmarried before 1 717, as she is not named in her sister Anne's will. Elizabeth Lister, baptised at Coleby the 18th of May, 1661, was living as a spinster in 171 7, when she is named in her sister Anne's will. Richard Lister, baptised at Coleby 19th August, 1662, is named in his father's will in 1676, but as no further mention occurs of him he must have died young. 61 Rippingale Court Roll. 5S Rowston Deeds, No. 20. 58 Rippingale Deeds, No. 67. 32 Notes on the Visitation of Lincolnshire 1634. Eleanor Lister, baptised at Coleby the 13th October, 1663, was married at the same place the 30th of December, 1690 (as second wife), to Robert Tyrwhitt, of Cammeringham, co. Lincoln. She is named in her sister Anne Lister's will in 1717 with her children, Anne, Frances, Thomas, and Robert Tyrwhitt. ., Anne Lister was leby the 16th of April, 1665, and made her will the 6th of Feb ing then resident in the Close of Lincoln. She names her sister, liieanor lyrwhitt and her four children; her sister Elizabeth Lister; sister Martha Nevile and brother-in-law Edward Nevile; sister Francis Newton, brother-in-law Newton, nephew and godson William Newton, nieces Frances and Elizabeth Newton; Jane, Mary, Martha, and Frances Lister. Her funeral cost £40. She died 1725.* William Lister was baptised at Coleby the 3rd of February, 1669, and was buried there the 27th of May, 167 1. Frances Lister was baptised at Coleby the 13th of July, 1674. Married Newton, of , and appears to have had three children, who, as already stated, are named in their aunt Anne Lister's will, 1717. Martha Lister was baptised at Coleby the 10th of August, 1675. Married about 1 7 10 to Edward Nevile, second son of George Nevile, of Thorney, near Lincoln, and had a son named Edward, born the 21st of October, 1711, and Mary, who died in 17 15. Her son Edward eventually succeeded to the family property at Thorney, and her descendant, Nevile George Nevile, of Thorney, inherited a small portion of the Lister property in 1809. Mrs. Martha Nevile was sole executrix to the will of her niece, Mary Lister, and is described " of the Close, Lincoln," in a deed dated the 24th of October, I735> 65 and she was still alive in the Trinity Term of 1744. 66 John Lister is named in his father's will, 1676, as under age. He became a merchant, serving his time with Messrs. Isaac and Abraham Houbton, for six years, in London. Then, "at the desire of his father that he should go " and live somewhere beyond sea," he passed to Oporto and joined the firm of Burrell (the Burrells being neighbours at Dowsby), Baldwen, and Mayne, becoming, after three years, a partner. Differences, however, arising between himself and two of the partners, he left the business and returned home, apparently to the annoyance of his family, as may be judged from an " explanation," of which a portion only now remains. In February, 1686-7, he purchased of Peter Burrell, of London, Merchant, one sixteenth part of the ship Miriam, of 1 25 tons, having the April before, 1686, being then "of Oporto," merchant, acquired for ^74 3s. 4d. a twelfth of a 78 ton ship called the Johanna? 1 That he was home in England in 1687 is shown by the fact that he assisted his mother in the administration of his father's will, Elizabeth, Lady Musgrave, giving receipt on the 27th of September in that year for ^10 received by the hands of Mr. John Lister, by order of Mrs. Lister, for a legacj left by "brother-in-law William Lister." 68 He died without issue before January, 1723, when in the deed of conveyance of the manor of Rippingalf he is spoken of as deceased, and his nieces were his heirs. 69 * Lister Miscell.

Peter at Colcbg. 33 Thomas Lister, the eldest son of William, succeeded to the Coleby and Rippingale properties on the death of his father, being twenty-seven years of age, having been admitted to Gray's Inn, 18th April, 1678. He married at St. Mary Woolnoth, the 1st of June, 1683, Jane, daughter of John Hawtrey, of Gray's Inn, and Ruslipp, co. Middlesex, 60 and by this marriage acquired considerable addition to his worldly weath. His marriage settlements are dated the 20th of April, 1683, by which William Lister settled upon his son Thomas, on marriage with Jane Hawtrey, the following income : — ^169 10s. iod. out of Coleby, ^120 out of East Rowston, ^138 out of Culverthorpe, ^3 10s. out of Bassingham, £$ out of Harmston, ^60 out of Rippingale, ^126 us. iod. out of West Rowston,^i6 out of a house and cottage in Lincoln, ^58 out of Theddlethorpe, a rent-charge of ^50 a year out of Langton, and £69 15s. out of his manor and lands in Creeton, making in all an allowance of ^1,135 13s. iod. a year 61 Before his father's death Thomas Lister resided in Lincoln, and paid in November, 1687, the sum of ^10 12s. to Charles Cornwallis for the half-year's rent of a house in the Close. In 1696 he purchased from Anthony Thompson and Mary his wife (the daughter and heir of Gilbert Bohun), the manor of South Hall, Coleby, which at an early date had been separated from the North Hall manor, and consisted of four messuages, eight cottages and land. Mr. Lister then became sole lord of the manor of Coleby. The house to the South Hall manor was called Middle Hall, and was pulled down at the end of the last century, and all that remains to mark its site is a large dove-cote and a well ; the field where it stood is known as the " Dove-cote " paddock. A stone was recently discovered built into the wall of the cellars at Coleby Hall, 14 in. wide and and 4 ft. long, on which is carved the Bohun Shield, and and another bearing — on a bend 3 bucks' heads cabossed. In 1696 Thomas Lister served as High Sheriff, and appears to have enter- tained during the Assizes to a considerable extent, judging from some of the bills for goods supplied to the " Hy Sheriff for his Asies." Of fish, obtained from one fishmonger for the week of March the 12th, 1695-6, he had 26 large eels (costing about one shilling each), 8 pike, 3 carp (the last twelve shillings a brace), besides "tenish" and perch; and of sea fish also great quantities. On the 6th of March he must have given a "fish dinner," as five dozen plaice and flounders, 12 small codlings, 13 large lobsters, 3 large cods, 5 "sallmonds "at 1 2d. per lb. costing £4 : 3 : 6," 200 oysters, besides crabs, cockles, muscles, salt codfish and ling, appear in the account as supplied on that day. His gardens at Coleby were unable to supply sufficient vegetables for this lavish feasting, and charges appear for spinach, sprouts, "green sauce" fennel, horse radish, parsley, and " sallets." His coal cost him twenty-four to twenty- nine shillings a chaldron, at either Lincoln or Newark. It is difficult to judge what quantity of wine was consumed by him and his friends at this date, but in February he" bought 1 2 gallons of canary, which cost £4 1 6s. At the same 60 Lond. Marr.

" Best Claret " was fifteenpence per bottle ! Meat was of course absurdly cheap. Four woodcock cost 2s. 8d. and eight teal 5s. 4d., and a "phyzent" is. 6d. Twenty quarters of malt cost £2 " making," while the excise on it amounted to £3 1 7s. Clothing also was not extravagant. A coat of "fine cloth" cost altogether £4 7s. 8d., and "silk britches" were £2 5s. a pair. Seven or eight dozen buttons appear to have been required for each coat. Mr. Lister probably indulged in a little hunting, as we find in his saddler's bill entries for hunting whips and saddles, &c, " hunting saddle stitched with "silver," curb and snaffle bridles, a paire of "rippin spurrs," and dog-couples, besides the usual pillion saddles, holsters, &c. In 1697 we find him buying from Thomas Seamer two silver porringers, weighing 18 oz. 14 dwts. at 6s per oz., and twelve forks, weighing 190Z. i8dwts., at 5s. 4|d. per oz., but then, alas ! he parted with " 5 old porringers weighing " 30 oz. 3 dwts. for s s i d per oz." This Thomas Lister added to the house at Coleby, probably the eastern- most gable. In 1687 we encounter numerous bills for bricks (5,000 bricks and 2,000 tiles cost £7), stone, lead, new casements, &c, and at Michaelmas, 1688, he paid nine shillings for his half-year's chimney or hearth tax on nine hearths, while in October the following year he paid for twelve. In 1697 his "tacks called the winda tacks dew March 25th" was five shillings. In August, 1687, we find he did a little house painting. One room, containing sixty yards, was painted white marble at a cost of ^20, and a closet the same at four shillings. Two rooms " cornish and base and two doors " cost eight shillings colouring, while two doors in " the parler " were charged four shillings for ; and the " Generall door " (? entrance door) was painted a coat of "sad colour" for eighteenpence. Mr. Lister at the same time improved his gardens and planted the orchard, as in 1692 are bills for levelling and " digging the land up to the nutt trees '' in the garden, besides picking stone, &c, but then labour was cheap, a man being paid is. and a woman 8d. per day, and there is a long list of apple, pear, and cherry trees, revealing the name of many an existing sort, with which he stocked his ground. Thomas Lister made his will the 15th of November, 1698, and in it named his daughters Jane, Mary, Elizabeth, Martha, Anne, and Frances, to whom he left his property in London, Rippingale, Creeton, Thorpe, Threddle- thorpe, Rowston, Bassingham, Coleby, and Harmston, and the rent-charge of i?2o out of Langton. His brother-in-law, Robert Tyrwhitt, of Cambringham, was appointed supervisor of the will, and Jane Lister, his wife, was named executrix, and to have the tuition of his daughters. He lived about nineteen years after this will was made, his widow proving it in London the 8th of February, 17 17. He probably spent much of the latter portion of his life in London, as we find him in September, 1703, taking a house in Lichfield Street, St. Anne's, Westminster, from Mr. Henry A'Court for three years, which he %ietzx of Sokbg. 35 probably renewed, and in the same year he paid £8 for four places in pew No. 1 1 on the north side in the middle aisle of the parish church of St. Anne's, Westminster, for the lives of himself and his wife. 62 As mentioned, the wife of Thomas Lister was Jane, daughter of Mr. John Hawtrey, of Gray's Inn, and of Ruslip, co. Middlesex. Her father, by his will dated the 13th of May, 1681, left to her the residue of his goods and chattels, household linen, &c, and made her sole executrix. He died in 1682, probate of his will being granted her on the 5th of August. She was also apparently heir to her hrother William Hawtrey, who was buried at Coleby on the 2nd of December, 1697, and to her nephew, Charles Hawtrey. She made her will the 26th of January, 1730, naming her daughter Mary her sole executrix, and leaving to her grandson Thomas Scrope a half of her household plate, &c. She was buried at Coleby the 8th of March, 1 730-1. Thomas Lister had by his wife Jane seven children, namely : — Thomas Lister, baptised at Coleby the 29th of June, 1685, who at Christmas, 1692, had already been a term at a school at Newark kept by J. Twells. The bill for his schooling shows it was not an expensive academy, as half-a-year's learning and board cost but £6, with a ten-shilling entrance fee, though when "Mr. Tommy was sick of the meazles" he had a nurse " seaven days," who was, paid 3jd. a day besides her " diet." The child's shoes cost two shillings a pair, while a new hat band cost seven shillings. His hair was cut thirteen times in the half-year at one penny a time, and this poor child of eight years was supplied with " a treatise against swearing price 3d"! Thomas died in 1697, being buried at Coleby on the 8th of June in that year, having remained under the charge of Mr. Twells until his death. Jane Lister, the eldest of Thomas Lister's daughters and co-heir, does not appear to have been born at Coleby. She is named in her father's will of 1698, in which she and her sisters are made his co-heirs. In 1722 she joined with her mother and surviving sisters, Mary and Martha and Frances, in cutting off the entail of the Rippingale property, 63 and of Coleby in March, 1723. 64 By deed dated the 4th of January, 1723, she, with her mother, her sisters Mary and Martha Lister, and her brother-in-law Gervase Scrope, of Cockerington, sold and conveyed to Sir Gilbert Heathcote, knt., one of the Aldermen of the City of London, for the sum of ^6,145, the manor of Rippingale, with the capital messuage of Down Hall, and all their lands and tenements in Rippingale, Aslackby, Dowsby, Pinchbeck, Gosberton, and Bourne, " which were late the estate of the said Thomas Lister or of John Lister of London merchant "deceased, brother to the said Thomas" (excepting some premises in Aslackby) with_all the rights, advowsons of churches, &c, which were worth ^267 3s. 8d. a year. 65 Will dated 18th March, 1724. 66 Died 9 July, 1730. 67 62 Lister Miscellaneous. 63 Rippingale Deeds, No. 70. 64 Coleby Deeds, No. 142. 65 Rippingale Deeds, No. 71. m Creeton Deeds, No. 13. 67 Gervase Scrope's Pocket Book. 36 Notes on the Visitation of Lincolnshire 1634. Mary Lister was baptised at Coleby the 20th of November, 1687, and is named in the will of her father in 1717, and of her aunt Anne Lister in February, 1717-18. She joined in the sale of Rippingale in 1723. Her mother, by her will of 1730, left her half the plate and linen in the house of Coleby, and the use for her life of the remainder. She was sole executrix to this will. In November, 1732, as only surviving child of Thomas Lister, she, with Gervase Scrope her brother-in-law, sold the manor of Creeton and three messuages and land in Culverthorpe to Albemarle Bertie for ,^4,748. 68 By her will, dated of 17, she left the whole of her property to Thomas Scrope, the only child of her sister Frances. She died the 6th of March, 1734, and was buried at Coleby on the 10th, her nephew Thomas Scrope erecting in 1738 a monument to her memory in Coleby church, on which it is stated that "she was the last of the ancient family of Listers of Coleby." This monument still remains on the south wall of the chancel, and is the only memento of the Lister family to be found in the church where so many were buried. It is probable any tablets to their memory must have been destroyed at the beginning of this century, when the north aisle was built, and when the churchyard was levelled. Elizabeth Lister, third daughter, was baptised at Coleby the 2nd of February, 1689-90. She is named in her father's will of 171 7, but died unmarried before 9 April, 1722. Martha, fourth daughter, is named in her father's will 1717, and died unmarried at Bath in 1725, having, by will dated the nth March, 1724, left the reversion of ^500 to her nephew Thomas Scrope. 69 (See Gent's Magazine, 1783, p. 214). Anne Lister, fifth daughter, was baptised at Coleby the 24th of February, 1694-5. She is named in her father's will, but died unrnarried before 1722. Frances Lister, sixth daughter, was born the 7th of September, 1697, and was baptised at Coleby on the 27th of November following. She was the god-daughter of her aunt Anne Lister, who in her will of 171 7 left her a " silver bowl." She married at St. Paul's Cathedral, London, on the 8th of May, 1722, as second wife, Gervase Scrope, of Cockerington (a descendant in the sixth generation of John Scrope, second son of Henry, sixth Baron Scrope of Bolton). Her marriage settlements are dated 5th May, 1722. She gave birth to a son Thomas on the 17th of April, 1723, and died on the 20th of the same month. She was buried in Lincoln Cathedral, where a monument to her memory lies in the pavement in front of what was St. Catherine's Altar, at the east end of the choir. On the death of Mary Lister, in 1734, the last of the Listers of Coleby and Rippingale expired. Her nephew Thomas Scrope, who succeeded to the Lister estates, maintained their traditions by contesting the seat for the City of Lincoln in 1764, when his politics were such that he paraded bands of broad blue ribbon, on which was painted "Wilkes and Liberty." He was a 88 Creeton, No. 13. 69 Creeton, No. 13 ; and Gervase Scropts Pocket Book. %wtiv of ®0iebg. 37 successful candidate in 1768, and sat as member for Lincoln till 1774, when he again offered himself, on this occasion having banners painted with " Scrope and Liberty " upon them, with the Scrope arms emblazoned. He lived almost entirely at Coleby Hall, which he slightly enlarged, and the grounds and gardens of which he greatly improved, planting the tall elm and stately beeches which now form an oasis on the bleak heath. He died at Coleby the 28th of April, 1792, and was buried near his mother and father in Lincoln Cathedral. By his will dated the 29th of November, 1785, he bequeathed his property to his wife (Eliza Maria, daughter of Clay) for her life, intending to limit or appoint the same by some future deed or codicil, which, however, never executing, on the death of his widow (who had re-married in 1 General Albemarle Bertie) in Devon- shire, the 19th of June, 1806, the estates were claimed by Stephen Tempest, of Broughton-in-Craven, Esq., as heir-at-law of Thomas Scrope ex parte paterna, he being a lineal descendant and heir-at-law of John Scrope, of Spennithorne, second son of Henry, sixth Baron Scrope of Bolton, the lineal ancestor of Thomas Scrope. The claim was allowed, and Mr. Tempest inherited the whole of the Lister estates at Coleby, Rowston, &c, except one twelfth share, being the quarter of Martha Lister's (daughter of Thomas Lister) third share, which had descended to Thomas Scrope as one of the co-heirs of his aunt Jane Lister, and this one-twelfth share descended to Nevile George Nevile, Thomas Tyrwhitt, and John Hutton Cooper as co-heirs of the said Thomas Scrope ex parte materna, they being the respective heirs-at-law of Martha, Eleanor, and Frances Lister, great aunts on the mother's side to the said Thomas Scrope, Martha having married George Nevile, Eleanor = Robert Tyrwhitt, Frances = Newton, whose daughter married . . .

WILL: HANSARDE. * Whittenby means Wi ckenby, lanaarb. 45 The ancient Lincolnshire family of Hansard can claim direct descent from Ughtred, Earl of Northumberland in the time of King Edmund Ironsides. Adam de Montebegom gave to his nephew Gilbert Hansard, the brother of Robert Fitz-Maldred, Lord of Raby, the manors of South Kelsey, Bestrope, and Thornton in Lincolnshire, together with Walworth and other large possessions in Durham and Yorkshire. Algitha, the daughter and heir of Earl Ughtred, married Maldred Fitz-Crinan, by whom she had issue Earl Gospatric. Dolfin, son of this Earl, was the father of Maldred, who was the father of Gilbert Hansard. From the date of the gift, circa 1155, the Hansards of Walworth and South Kelsey continued in direct male succession until the death of William Hansard, Esq., in 15215 and twenty years later, by the marriage of his daughter Elizabeth with Sir Francis Ayscough, the estate passed to owners of another name. It is to be noticed that the old quarterings of the Hansards of South Kelsey are missing from the shield given in this Visitation. Nevill, Delamore, Hawley, Blount, and Hoton have disappeared, from which We may assume that this branch sprung from the South Kelsey stock before the middle of the fifteenth century. Reference is probably made to the later branches in the Visitation of 1592, which contains a note to the effect that the Herald was " credibly informed by sundrie'men of good worship that there was no legitimate heir male living within the county of Lincoln." We have abundant evidence that younger sons of the name were spread through the county before that date. The wife of John Haunsard had a claim on the Lincolnshire estate of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, who was beheaded at Pontefract. William Haunsart had a grant of free warren in 1332. Sir Roger Haunsart, Kt, presented to a third part of the Rectory of Stainton-le-Vale in 1353. Sir Robert Hansard left three younger sons in 1390, one of whom, Robert, had the monopoly of the ulnage of saleable cloths in the city of Lincoln in 1410. Any one of these may have been the ancestor of the Thomas Hansard of Wickenby upon whom both these pedigrees depend. At the same time one or two suspicious facts are to be noted : — 1st, the St. Paul marriage, which ought to be capable of proof, is not supported by cotemporary evidence ; 2nd, the arms of Thomas Hansard of Wickenby bear the difference of a crescent for the second son ; 3rd, at the death of William Hansard, Esq., of South Kelsey, in 1521, his heir, until the birth of his posthumous daughter, was his brother Thomas, the second son of Sir William Hansard, aged 16 years. A comparison of the pedigree before us with that of Clipsham, printed at page 13 of this volume, gives a clue to the date of the marriage of Mary Hansard of Gayton. A little further calculation will show that the date of Thomas Hansard, second son living at Wickenby, coincides with the removal of Thomas Hansard, second son, from the not distant parish of South Kelsey. If these two persons were one and the same, there can be no doubt as to the family referred to in the very plain-spoken report of the Herald of 1592, as the first inquiry would be for the issue of Thomas Hansard, brother of the last male who bore the arms of Hansard. 46 Notes on the Visitation of Lincolnshire 1634. There is, however, no certainty in our research, and for aught we can tell the line may be descended from the turbulent Thomas Haunsard, who in 1341 drew his sword and attacked Aubrey, Lord Mayor of London, rushing upon him with such violence that he knocked him down, for which crime King Edward III. ordered him to be duly punished, but the nature and degree of the penalty " remain an untold tale." For the above note the Editor, (who does not altogether concur in the argument,) is indebted to the Rev. H. C. Brewster, Rector of South Kelsey. It is not proposed, at present at all events, to give more than a few stray notes on this family. An immense amount of information has, however, been accumulated about the main line and its branches, which will probably be printed in another form, under the head of South Kelsey, in the " Wapentake of Walshcroft."

Also, in augmentation of divine worship, he founded a certain chantry in the chapel of the hospital, and dedicated il to St. Nicholas the Confessor, to be served by one perpetual chaplain, therein to celebrate mass daily for ever. By the- same grant the King gave to him the perpetual advowson and patronage of the hospital. It was, however, dissolved in the 26th year of K. Hen. VIII. " While in this position [of Justice] he also alleged that he had ' such " infirmitie in his eyhen, that he dredeth him gretely of faillying and perisshing " of his sight ' ; an allegation which we must accept rather as a politic than a "true appeal, since we find him sitting in .the court for at least 16 years, the " last fine levied before him being dated at Midsummer, 1454, 32 Hen. VI." 20 He married Elizabeth, dau. and heir of John Cayifvwpe, and died in 1456, 21 and was buried in the south aisle of the church at Bedale, where there is a flat slab covering his remains. In the north aisle is an alabaster monument to the memory of him and his wife, with the following inscription in Old English characters : — 22 " Hie jacet Gulielmus Ascough, miles, unus Justiciariorum .domini regis " de Banco, qui obiit cujus anima per misericordiam Domini in " pace requiescat. " Hie jacet Elizabetha, qua? fuit uxor Gulielmi Ascough, militis, quae obiit "Anno Domini 1400, 23 cujus animse propicietur Deus. Amen. " Sis testis, Christe, quod non jacet hie lapis iste " He had issue John, William, Sir James, Edward, Elizabeth, Catherine, and Agnes. 18 From Foss's Judges of England.

John Ayscough married Margaret, dau. and sole heir of John Tailboys, in whose right he became Lord of Stallingborough, which is a village situate in the east division of the Wapentake of Yarborough, about four miles north-west of Grimsby. He was seised 24 of three messuages and three carucates of land with the appurtenances in Dalton Norris (co. Yorks.) in fee, held of George, Lord Fitz Hugh, who held of the King in capite as of the honor of Richmond, for the fourth part of one knight's fee of the yearly value of ^5. And of one messuage and five carucates of land with the appurtenances in Burrell-cum- Bolling [? Cowling] in the said co., which he held of Sir Brian Stapleton, Kt., who held of the King in capite as of the said honor for the third part of one knight's fee of the yearly value of £11. 4. o. By his wife he also inherited the manors of Nutthall and Baceford, co. Notts., which is witnessed by the following fine : — " A fine was levied between John Cokefield Esqr. and Margaret his wife " Quer., and Richard Foljambe Deforc, of the manors of Nuthall and " Baceford with the appurtanences often mess., one toft, twenty bovates, and " forty acres of land, and twenty acres of meadow, with the appurtenances in " Nuthall, Baceford, Redford, and Lenton, and the advowson of the church of " Nuthall, whereby they were settled on Margaret, and the heirs male of their " bodies, remainder to the heirs of the body of John, remainder to John " Ascogh [sic] and Margaret his wife, dau. and heir of John Taylboys the "younger, Esq., and the heirs of their bodies, remainder to the heirs of the " body of Margaret, the wife of John Ayscogh, remainder to the right heirs of " Sir John Cokefield Kt." 25 In an account of the same transaction given in Collectanea Topographica, &*c, Ayscough is spelt Ayskwith, and again Ayswick. 26 John Ayscough married secondly Eleanor, the dau. and heir of Sir Richard Tunstall, Knight of the Garter, by whom also he had issue. He died 20 July 6 Hen. VII. (1491)- Sir James Ayscough was a Knight of Rhodes, which was the same order as the Knights Hospitallers of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. He was probably one of them during the Grand Mastership of Villiers de L'Isle Adam, during whose term of office the Knights were driven from Rhodes by the Turks and finally settled in Malta. There is no mention of his name in De Vertot's history of the order. 27 John Ayscough by Margarget Tailboys had issue Edward, Sir William, Sir Christopher, and Elizabeth. Sir William Ayscough was probably one of the men who accompanied Henry VIII. during his wars in France, as he was knighted at the siege of Boulogne, 28 which was in 1544. He married Mary, dau. Sir Robert Hillyard, Kt., a member of a good family in Yorkshire, whose pedigree may be found in the Visitation of Yorkshire in 1563-4. 29 24 Plantagenet-Harrison's Hist, of Yorks. 25 Thoroton's Hist, of Co.

He was of Stallingburgh, and was probably also possessed of Baceford and Nuthall in Nottinghamshire, as these manors are found in the possession of a descendant. He was buried within the altar rails at Stallingburgh church, where there is [1830] 30 a rich monumental stone inlaid with brasses of a knight and lady, of which portions remain, and the following fragments of an inscription : — Underneath the knight — "Ossa .... hoc gelido Will'm Aysc'ugh Milit' qui conj'cta Jacet " sua M'geria pudica." Underneath the lady — " more no' pressa jacet ffilia Roberti " hylyarde, Milit'." On a scroll proceeding from the mouth of the knight — " Sancta Trinitas, unus Deus, miserere nobis." And on a similar scroll from the lady — "Libera nos famulos tuos, o beata Trinitas." Sir Christopher Ayscough was the ancestor of the Ayscoughs of Ashbye. Sir William Ayscough by Mary Hilliard had issue Sir William, Edward, and Robert. Sir William Ayscough is described as of Baceford and Nuthall. 31 He was the first of the family who was also of South Kelsey, which is a parish in the north division of the Hundred of Walshcroft, Parts of Lindsey in Lincoln- shire, six miles south-west of Caistor. 32 The reason why he went to Kelsey will be found presently. He married first Elizabeth, dau. of Thomas Wrottesley of Staffordshire, and secondly Elizabeth, dau. of John Hutton, of Tuddo, co. Durham, and widow of Sir William Hansard of Walworth, co. Durham, and of South Kelsey, co. Lincolnshire. William Hansard, the son and heir of Sir William Hansard, died in 1520, leaving only one daughter, Elizabeth, aged 2. Cardinal Wolsey, as Archbishop of York, granted the wardship of this child to her grandmother, who was at that time married to Sir William Ayscough, 33 and he apparently went to live at South Kelsey to look after the property. He was High Sheriff of Lincoln- shire four times between the years 1500 and 15 21 inclusive. 34 He was appointed a Commissioner of the Peace in Lincolnshire in 1522, 35 and on the 24th Oct., 1522, there was a lease granted by Thomas Stakehouse, D.D., Master of the College called St. Michael's House, Cam- bridge, to Sir William Ayscough and Elizabeth his (second) wife of the lands, &c, belonging to the priory of Wyngall, which is in the parish of South Kelsey, co. Lines., at an annual rent of £11 3. 4d. Sir William was to repair 30 Gentleman's Magazine, vol. 100, pt. ii., 1830. 31 Surtees' Hist, of Durham. 32 The National Gazetteer.

He is also to ditch and set with quickset the Wyngall field belonging to the priory, for which he will be allowed 20s. 36 In 1522 he was also one of the knights appointed to wait on the King (Henry VIII.), on the occasion of the visit of the Emperor Charles V. to Canterbury. 37 Sir William Ayscough by Elizabeth Wrottesley had issue Sir Francis, Edward, Anne, and Jane. Sir Brands Ayscough is described as of South Kelsey in right of his wife. He married Elizabeth, dau. and sole heir of William Hansard of South Kelsey, who, as we have seen, was his father's ward, and by her inherited all the Hansard property, consisting of the estate of South Kelsey, and another at High Walworth, which is in the parish of Heighington, three miles to the south-west, in the County Palatine of Durham, for we read that he had the liv- ing of Walworth in right of his wife in the 9th year of Bishop Tunstall (1538), and that during the minority of Elizabeth Hansard, Walworth had been granted by the Bishop to Richard Bellasis [Cursit. Rolls, Rudd's MSS.], 38 and in 1557 Francis Ayscough and Elizabeth his wife sold Scaterland and other parcels to John Thuirsbie and Thomas Pickering, and in 1558 granted all their lands in Woodham (co. Durham) to William Heighley and Christopher Johnson, yeomen, 39 but the house and estate of Walworth were not sold until a generation later. Francis Ayscough probably also inherited by his wife the manors of Thornton-le-Moor and Beesthorpe, which are in the neighbourhood of South Kelsey, and formerly belonged to the Hansard family. In the years 5 and 6 Philip and Mary, Marmaduke Clarionet, gent., gave ros. for licence to concord with Sir Francis Ayscough, Kt, and Elizabeth his wife touching the manor of Dalton-juxta-Ravensworth, with the appurtenances and three messuages, 300 acres of arable land, 100 acres of meadow, 100 acres of pasture, 20 acres of wood, 2000 acres of moor and 8s. rents, with the appur- tenances in East Dalton and had the chirograph, &c. Sir Francis Ayscough married secondly Elizabeth, dau. of Robert Dighton of Sturton, co. Line, Esq,, and widow of William Dallison, Esq., Justice of the King's Bench, and had issue also by her. Concerning Sir Francis Ayscough, the following story is related by Francis Drake 40 : — " Robert Holgate D.D., was bred up among the Gilbertine " monks at Sempringham in Lincolnshire, and was afterwards prior of Watton " co. Yorks. On surrendering up his Priory he first had a benefice in Lin- " colnshire, but Sir Francis Askue, a gentleman in the neighbourhood, proving "very troublesome, by commencing a vexatious lawsuit against him, he " quitted the living and came to London. 86 Calendar of State Papers 1522. 8 ? Ibid. 88 Hutchinson's Hist, of Durham, vol. iii., 1794. 89 Surtees' Hist, of Durham, vol. iii. 40 Hist, ana Ant. of the City of York, by F. Drake, F.R.S. Lond., 1736. ^pscowgn:. »3 " Robert Holgate afterwards succeeded Cardinal Wolsey as Archbishop of " York, and consequently Lord President of the North, and Sir Francis Askue, " the knight aforementioned, happened to have a suit pending in that court ; " doubting much of hard measure from the President, whose adversary he had " been, he gave up his cause for lost, when, contrary to his expectation, he " found the Archbishop, according to justice, to stand up in favour of him, by " which means he gained his cause ; the Prelate saying merrily to some of his "friends that he was more obliged to Sir Francis Askue than any man in " England, for had it not been for his pushing him to London he had lived a " poor priest all his days." Sir Francis Ayscough was High Sheriff of Lincolnshire in 1545, 1549, and 1554. 41 He died in 1564, and was buried 21 Oct., 1564, at Stalling- borough, where there is a monument half arched over, and a half statue ; in the right hand a leading staff, the head reclining on the left. Underneath is the following inscription : — " Franciscus Aiscough, Eques Auratus, pater Infrapositi Edwardi. " Hie profuit Patrie Franciscus strenuus almus " Bello Marte suo pace suo ingenio." Above this tomb, and surmounted by the Ayscough crest, viz., an ass passant, is the following extraordinary coat of arms, which is only one instance of the many mistakes which were made by some of the early heralds : — Ayscough impaling Hansard.

The great mistake is that if the grand quarter of Ayala should be inserted, Blount should be represented, as Ayala, &c, only came into the Hansard 41 Gentleman's Magazine, vol. 100, pt. ii., 1830. 84 Notes on the Visitation of Lfincolnshire 1634. family through Blount. As a matter of fact, however, Hansard had no right to any of them, as, though Hansard had married an heiress of Blount, the latter had male issue by his second wife, so that the Blount lady became only heiress of her mother, i.e., Hawley, The last grand quarter should not have been inserted thus, but should have been — 1 and 4, an eagle displayed or, for Hutton ; 2 and 3, Or, three parroquets vert, for Chauncellour. 42 Edward Ayscough married a dau. of ... . Gibson, and had issue Edward Ayscough, who was the author of a history of England entitled : — A History containing the Warres, treaties, ts°c, between England and Scotland from K. Will. I., &c. London, 1609, sm. 4to. Ann Ayscough was born at South Kelsey in 1529 (?), and the following account is taken from Mary Hays' Female Biography, and compared with many other accounts : — " She received a liberal and learned education, and " manifested in early life a predilection for theological studies. Her eldest " sister (not mentioned in any pedigree) after having been contracted in " marriage to Thomas, afterwards Sir Thomas Kyme of Lincolnshire, died " before the nuptials were completed." It does not appear to which branch of the Kyme family Sir Thomas belonged. Thompson 43 suggests that he was one of the Kymes of Friskney, but he did not belong to the elder branch. " Her father, on this event, being unwilling to lose a connection which promised " pecuniary advantages, compelled her sister Anne to become the wife of " Thomas Kyme, to whom she bore two children. After much study and " reading of the holy scriptures, which were at that time withheld from the " perusal of the laity, she at length adopted the principles of the reformers. " Her husband, disgusted at this, and instigated by the priests, drove her from " his house. She then proceeded to London, to the court of Henry VIII., " where she placed herself under the protection of those who favoured the " protestant cause. She was kindly received by many of the ladies at court, " and was particularly distinguished by the queen, who favoured secretly the " doctrines of the reformers. Her husband, probably still under the influence " of the priests, found her out, and the priests accused her to the King, " Henry VIII., of dogmatising on the subject of the ' real presence.' Anne " was therefore seized in March 1545, and taken into custody, when she was " examined concerning her faith by Christopher Dare, the Lord Mayor. She " was detained in prison eleven days, and refused bail. On the 23rd March, a " relation succeeded in obtaining her release on bail, and her sureties were Mr. " Britagne, her relation (it does not appear how), and Mr. Spilman of Gray's " Inn. A short time afterwards she was again apprehended, and summoned " before the King's council at Greenwich, when she was again examined by " Wriothesley, the chancellor, and Gardiner, bishop of Winchester. She was " then committed to Newgate. From Newgate she was taken to the Tower, " where she was tortured on the rack to make her confess her patrons at court, " but having refused to give their names, Wriothesley the Chancellor was so 42 See Surtees' Durham. 4S Thompson's Hist, of Boston. glpcottgh. 85 " enraged that he turned the rack himself, when she fainted. [Thebeef-eaters " at the Tower say that she was the last person tortured there.] She was " burnt at Smithfield in the 25th year of her age, on 16th July 1546," or, as Fuller 44 gracefully puts it " she went to heaven in a chariot of fire." Her tutor and two other persons were burnt with her. 45 She is also said to be the last martyr in the reign of Henry VIII. Mary Hays takes her account from Fox's Acts and Monuments of the Church, Hume's Hist, of England, Ballard's Memoirs of British Ladies, Biographeum Femineum, and Gibbon's Pious Ladies. It is curious that she is never mentioned except by her maiden name, " Anne Ayscough," and it is generally spelt Askew, which is incorrect. The following pamphlets were published about her : — " The first examinacyon of Anne Askewe, latelye martyred in Smythfelde, with the elucydacyon of Johan Bale." Marpurg., 1546, 8vo. "The first examinacion of the worthy seruant of God, mastres Anne Askew, the yonger doughter of syr William Askew, knight." " The latter examination." Ibid.

Sir Francis Ayscough, by Elizabeth Hansard, his wife, had issue William, Francis, Sir Edward, Katherine, Anne, Judith, Elinor, and Faith. William Ayscough, eldest son and heir, was aged 22 at the death of his father. He married Anne, dau. of Edward Clinton, Earl of Lincoln, but died without issue. It is not found where he was buried. His brother, Sir Edward Ayscough, was declared his heir in 1563. He was of South Kelsey, and of Stallingburgh. He was High Sheriff of Lincoln- 44 Fuller's Worthies. 45 Universal and Biographical Diet. , by John Watkins. 1 804. 86 Notes on the Visitation of Lincolnshire 1634. shire in 1587. 46 He married Hester, dau. of Thos. Grantham of Golto or St. Katherine's, co. Line. He was knighted in the first year of K. James I. (1603), and died on the 9th March, 1612, and was buried at Stallingburgh, where there is the following inscription to him and his wife : — " C. L. D. Edwardi Ayscoghe de Kelsey in Com. Lincoln, Equitis "aurati, ex antiqua Hansardom familia oriundi, et uxoris suae opt. max. " Estheriae Thomae Grantham armig 1 filiae, obierunt, ille Mart, die 9 Ano D. "1612." Under the tomb is the following anagram : — " Edouardus Ayscoghe Gaudes (io) charus Deo." Over the tomb hangs (1830) an iron helmet. By Hester Grantham, his wife, he left issue William, Francis, George, Vincent, Edward, Thomas, Elizabeth, Margaret, Jane, Hester, Faith, and Lucy. William Ayscogh was of South Kelsey, and of Stallingburgh. We find this story of him in an account of damage done by a storm : — "On the 5th "Oct. 13 Elizabeth(ig7i)by a great tempest of wind and rain, Maister William " Askugh of Kelsey, Sir Hugh Askugh, Maister Merin, Maister Fitz Williams "of Mablethorpe lost by estimation 20,000 head of cattell, one or another." 47 He married Katherine, dau. of William Heneage, of Hainton, co. Line. He was buried at Stallingburgh. Holies 48 gives the following: — "Under a " flat marble lyes y e body of William Ayscogh Esqr. sonne and heire of Sir " Edward, who died 4 th Febr. 16 10. He marry ed Katherine, daughter of " William Henneage of Haynton Esquire, by whom he had three sons, two " Williams deceased, Sir Edward now living, and Katherine wife of Thomas " Hatcher." In the church of Stallihgborough are many shields expressing the various alliances of members of the Ayscough family. William Ayscoghe was the ancestor of the rest of the Ayscoughes who were at South Kelsey. Edward Ayscoghe inherited the property of Nuthall and Baceford, and was the ancestor of the Ayscoghes of that place. Thomas Ayscoghe was of Thoresby and afterwards of Stallingborough. It is difficult to discover how the Ayscough family first became connected with Thoresby, but the registers of the name are found there as far back as 1558, in the February of which year William Ayscoughe was buried there. Mention of the Ayscough family is found continually from 1603 to 1708, with a gap between 1651 and 1704, in the registers of North Thoresby, in the marsh of co. Line. Thomas Ayscoghe married Mary, dau. and heir of Gawen Skipwith, of Stane-in-the-Marsh (which is now a hamlet in the parish of Mablethorpe St. Mary, but was formerly a separate parish), and had issue the Ascoughs of Louth. 46 Gentleman's Magazine (as before). 47 Hist, of Boston, by Pishey Thompson.

Mag. §orope of (Eoxkeringtoit. 129 entitled A Narrative of the Affair between himself and Miss Scrope, which in 1749 was answered by Elizabeth Scrope, refuting his calumnies, and show- ing how good and true a man was Mr. Lee. This Mr. Lancelot Lee, of Coton, Shropshire, knowing the whole of her sad history, married her in February, 1751, at Bridgenorth, 116 but she was dead before December 28 of the same year; when her husband, as administrator of her goods, gave to Gervase Scrope a discharge for his late wife, Eiizabeth's, portion. 117 She left no children. Returning to Gervase Scrope's sons : — his eldest, Adrian, was born May 20, 1711, and died March 5, 1719-20, being buried in the retro-choir of Lincoln Minster with his mother; 118 therefore on Mr. Scrope's death, in 1741, he was succeeded in the estates by his second son, — Gervase Scrope, born September 2, 17 14. Where and when his education was commenced we do not know, but his father, in his Diary, or Pocket Book, records, " 14 July, 1731, on a Wednesday my son Gervase went to Mr. Hoole at Haxey : his board, with washing, fire, candle, and tea for breakfast ^30 per ann. He "came from Mr. Hooles" December 16 following, presumably for the Christmas holidays. In August, 1732, Gervase and his brothers were started off for Manchester, where it appears Mr. Hoole's academy was. £1 ns. 6d. was handed over to Mr. and Mrs. Hoole to give "my son half a crown a week" — besides which he had a guinea for pocket money. His father mentions in his will that he " educated my said son Gervase at very great expense at Westminster School and at the University." Gervase, on succeeding to the family estates, found it necessary, in 1752, to raise ^6,ooo, 119 though this may have been for the payment of his brothers' and sisters' fortunes. In December, 1754, he purchased of Jonathan Field, of the Close, Lincoln, two pictures "drawn in oyl on canvas," one of an " Italian family, supposed to be drawn by Titian," and the other of " The Holy Family, supposed to be drawn by Andrd de Serta," for which Gervas was to pay ,£350, on the death of the Rev. John Sympson, of Stoke, Derby- shire, provided Sympson died issueless. If not, Mr. Scrope might either return the pictures or pay the money. 120 On February 16, 1758, Gervase Scrope took his oath before Philip Burton and William Martyn, junior, (Commis- sioners appointed,) to be faithful and bear allegiance to his Majesty King George, and that he would well and truly serve the king in the office of Sheriff of Lincolnshire. His "quietus" was signed July 6, 1759, after having served his term as High Sheriff. 121 In September, 1758, he let to the Honble. George Hobart, of Blyburgh, his capital messuage in Pottergate, in the Parish of St. Margaret, Lincoln, (now in his own occupation,) for a term of seven years at ^60 a year, furnished, the tenant to pay all rates and taxes, except the £4 yearly rent to the Dean and Chapter.

The inventory shows the house to have been thoroughly well and handsomely furnished, having even " oil cloth " on some of the passages. 122 In July, 1763, he sold, for ^189, to Thomas Howson, junior, of the Bail, Lincoln, Blacksmith, the lease he held of the Dean and Chapter, from August 1760 for 21 years, of a tenement in Potter- gate, " called the Angel Inn, but now named the Adam and Eve," with a close attached, let to Mrs. Mary Pownall, widow ; and a close at the east end of Lincoln called Breer furlong, abutting on Langworth and Greetwell Gates, parcel of the land occupied with DorrelPs House, and formerly belonging to the chantries of William Fulk and Peter de Hungaria. 123 In August, 1763, he assigned, for ^"iooo, the lease he held under the Dean and Chapter (granted 23 September, 1751, for 49 years) of the mansion-house in Potter- gate occupied by himself and Mrs. Mary Pownall, abutting on Gravely Place to the north, Pottergate to the west, &c, and an orchard in Eastgate, to Philip Glover, Esq., the Chapter having given licence for the transfer June 10th last past. 124 In 1767 he granted a number of leases for fourteen years on his Cockerington estate, and this probably marks the date when he became possessed of Eastcot Park, near Pinner, co. Middlesex, where he resided until his death, and where he spent considerable sums in decorating and furnishing, for in June, 1768, he, being then "of Eastcott Park," mortgaged his Cocker- ington estates for ,£4,000, adding in 177 1 a further charge of ^i,2oo. 126 In 1773, he had some dispute with the tenant for life of East Harptry, co. " Somerset, of which he was heir in reversion under the will of his great uncle, Gervase Newton, who had also left him a property at Renishaw, clogged with a proviso that he should reside there six months in the year, or forfeit the property, but this was afterwards arranged. 126 Mr. Scrope was taken ill at Eastcot Park on June 4, 1776, when his solicitor, Henry Bell, of Gray's Inn, was sent for, who arrived with his clerk, William Witham, about eight o'clock in the evening of the 5th, and found Gervase lying in bed, surrounded by Mr. Wright, Mr. Fred. Scrope, George the groom, and Jonathan the footman, and others. Mr. Scrope was able to give directions as to his will, but when the lawyers brought the draft for signature he was in convulsions, remaining in that condition until he died, at about half-past eleven that evening. The will was proved by his brother, Frederick James Scrope, July 9, 1776, in London, as dated June 5, and by 128 Ibid., No. 90. ™/UJ., No. 97. ™Ibid„ No. 98. 185 Ibid,, Nos. 1 15 and 1 17. m LeUerSy Scrg ^ Various> §aope of (tofeeringtan. 131 this document the whole of his real and personal estate passed to this brother Frederick; charged, however, with the payment of ^25,000 in mortgages, and an annuity of ^200 a year to a godson, Thomas, son of William Wright. 127 He was interred in the family vault at Cockerington, 16 June, 1776. Frederick James Scrope who succeeded his brother Gervase in the family estates, was born January 24, 17 17-8, and baptized at St. Margaret's, Lincoln, the 13th February following. 128 He and his brother Carr were sent to school at Mr. Arnold's, January 22, 1 730-1, their boarding costing ,£12 a year each, and their schooling £2. In December, 1731, he and his two younger brothers were fitted out by their careful father with "new drugget suits and 2 pairs of breeches to a suit"; the two elder boys having also "doe skin breeches made by Mr. Holmes." In August, 1732, he was moved to Manchester to be under the care of Mr. Hoole, with his elder brother Gervase. On April 10, 1735, Gervase Scrope signed a covenant with William Bristowe, a sworn Clerk to the High Court of Chancery, for articling his son, Frederick James, with Mr. Bristowe in the office of the Six Clerks, for five years. ^350 was paid by Mr. Scrope, and for the first three years Frederick was to receive but forty-shillings at the end of each term, but for the remain- ing two years he was to be paid as was usual for a clerk in the Six Clerks' Office to be paid. On June 22, 1741, he was examined and admitted as one of the under-clerks in the Court of Six Clerks, in Mr. Thomas Bridge's division, in place of William Markham, resigned. 129 On December 27, 1753, he married, at Trinity Church, Kingston on Hull, Alice, the widow of James Milne, of Cottingham, near Hull, and daughter and heir of Robert Mason, of Hull and Welton, co. York, by his wife Jane Mould. By this marriage Mr. Scrope acquired copyhold property at Welton, and land and houses at Cottingham and in Hull ; but his wife dying between July and November, 1758, left him no children. After her death he made a will, dated November 24, 1758, desiring to be buried near his late wife in Trinity Church, Hull. All his free and copyhold land in Yorkshire he left to Christopher Nevill and Jonathan Field, in trust for his brother, Carr Scrope, and his heirs; on failure, to his other brother, Thomas Scrope, and his heirs ; on failure, to Mary, Countess Deloraine, and her daughter, Mary Vivian. Should Mary Vivian die without issue, the property in Hull was to be held in trust for some of the Mason family ; and the houses at Cottingham for Charles Poole ; and for default to Frederick's own right heirs, " my brother Gervase Scrope excepted, which exception I make in compliance with my late wife's repeated request, and not out of the least disrespect I have to my brother." 130 He joined the Southern Regiment of the Lincolnshire Militia, for we find him signing, as orderly officer for the day, the guard-room reports at Manchester, April 29, 1 760, being then a lieutenant. 131 127 Scrope Miscell., No. 122. ^G.

On March 5, 1 766, he made a fresh will, having apparently come to some understanding with his brother Gervase, to whom he left all his houses, &c, in High Street, Hull. He also desired that his wife's body might be brought from Hull to Cockerington, where he wished to be buried with her. 132 By his succession to his brother Gervase's property, in June, 1776, it became necessary for Frederick to make a fresh disposition of his estates, so a will was made, October 30, 1776, reciting that he was seised of lands, &c, in Lincolnshire, Middlesex, Somersetshire, Yorkshire, and Derbyshire, of which he enfeoffed John Crosier and Henry Bell, on trust for the payment of the mortgages amounting to ^"25,000 left by his brother Gervase, and then for the use of his brother, Thomas Scrope, and his heirs ; on failure, for Mary Peart, his neice, wife of Joshua Peart, and her children ; on failure, to the Scropes of Castle Combe ; on failure of whom, for the Scropes of Danby, in Yorkshire ; with a clause that whoever inherited was to bear the name and arms of Scrope, and spell their name with but one"o,"as the Scropes of Cocker- ington had always (?) done. 133 A fuller will was drawn up and signed by him December, 6, 1777, in which he directs he is to be buried in the Scrope vault at Cockerington, as near to the remains of Sir Gervase Scrope as possible, " the coffin to be placed on the left side of his," and to be carried by his Lincolnshire tenants. To his brother Thomas Scrope he left all his jewels, rings, gold snuff boxes, pearl necklaces, watches, trinkets, &c, with all his household goods in his houses in Middlesex or Lincolnshire absolutely, except the family pictures and plate, which were to become heirlooms appended to his Lincolnshire estates. The house at Eastcott and houses at Cottingham were to be sold to pay his own debts, and any remaining ones owed by his brother Gervase, and, if there was any residue, it was to be employed in clearing off mortgages on the Lincolnshire property. Cockerington was entailed upon Thomas Scrope and his heirs, and on failure was to pass to John Manners, Marquis of Granby, and Lord George Sutton, to hold in trust for Mary, wife of Joshua Peart and her heirs, on failure for Richard Scrope, of Castle Combe, co. Wilts., and John his eldest son, and heirs; on failure for Simon Scroope, of Danby, co. York, and his heirs, &c, the condition being, that should either the Pearts or Scroopes of Danby succeed, they were to bear the family name of Scrope only, and use the arms and crest as used by the Scropes of Cockerington. The will was proved in London, April 17, 1780, by Thomas Scrope, the brother and executor. 13 * Frederick James Scrope died at Cockerington March 10, 1780, and was buried there; he was succeeded in the estates by his younger half-brother, Thomas, Carr, the next brother, having predeceased him. Carr, the fourth son of Gervase ScrOpe by Elizabeth Creswell, was born July 16, 1 7 19, and baptized at St. Margaret's Church, Lincoln, ten days after. 135 132 Scrope Miscell., No. 101. m Ibid., No. 123. 134 Ibid., No. 124. 135 G. Scrope's Pocket Book and Par. Reg. giarope of (Eodterington. 133 He commenced his education before he was twelve at Mr. Arnold's school, and in 1732 he was given a commission in the Navy, being entered on the Muster Roll of H.M.S. " Edinburgh," a third-rate man of war of 70 guns, lying off the Nore, July 13, Philip Vanburgh being captain. The warrant from the Lords of the Admiralty reached the Scropes on the 16th, when the boy's uniform was evidently ordered : being a " suit of cloth trimmed with silver buttons and 2 pair of breeches and pink coulord silk waistcoat laced with silver," costing ^13 15s. od. On Friday, July 21, Carr was sent to "Mr. Hasselden's near Union Stairs in Wapping to learn Mathematicks and Navigation; he pays for his board besides washing ^26 per annum, and one guinea a month for his learning to write, arithmatick and Navigation, and I gave Mr. Hasselden 2 guineas entrance." From Hasselden's Carr went, on May 30, 1733, on board the " Blanford," a sixth-rate man of war, of 20 guns, then lying at Sheerness, Captain Burrish commanding, 136 thus commencing, at the age of fourteen, his naval career. In June, 1745, he was a Liuetenant on the " Royal Oak," and raising money on his position. 137 The next notice we have of him is as a Captain, in command of H.M.S. "Whitehaven," which ship was accidently burnt off the Irish coast, on September, 1747, when seventeen of the crew perished; Captain Carr Scrope was tried by Court Martial for the disaster and honourably acquitted in October following. 138 He remained in the Navy, and as commander of the " Hampton Court " captured the "Union," a St. Domingo ship, receiving ^200 ns. 6d. as his share of prize money; and the "Poste de Nantza," also a St. Domingo vessel, for which he had ^43 18s. 6d. The "Hampton Court" arrived at Spithead, May 20, 1761, with twenty-five transports from Belleisle, when the boat bringing some of the officers to shore was upset in a gale, about half-a-mile from land, and Captain Scrope, after struggling for about two hours in the sea, was seen and rescued, though his lieutenants, Curtis and Joice, with a seaman were drowned. 139 This long battle for life in a heavy sea may have tried his constitution, for when making his will at Lincoln, November 21 of the same year (1761), he describes himself as "being at this time weak in body." To his half-brother, Thomas Scrope, he left all his books, but the bulk of his property he bequeathed to his mistress, Grace Briggs, alias Mrs. Evans, of Brewer Street, Golden Square, London. To his "black servant Thomas Lincoln," he gave his freedom, amd wearing apparel, also the wages and prize money due to (or earned by) him at Captain Scrope's death. He also gave to his " Mulatto servant Sam," living with Captain Richard Teal, his liberty, but the wages due for his services Captain Teal was to pay to Grace Briggs. His fortune of ^2,000, and all his prize money, he bequeathed to his brother, Thomas Scrope, in trust for the use of Grace Briggs for her life, and after her death for the maintenance, education, and placing out in the world of his daughter, by Mrs. Briggs, " Betty." If the daughter died before marriage or under age, Grace Briggs became absolute legatee. The will was proved in 136 G.

London, June 4, 1762, by Thomas Scrope. He died May 12, 1762; his natural daughter, Elizabeth, or Betty, married William Hutton, of Gate Burton, but died issueless- Thomas Scrope, the last of his line, was the only child of Gervase Scrope, by his second wife, Frances Lister, of Coleby. He was born at Lincoln, April 17, 1723, and baptized at St. Margaret's, Lincoln, May 6 following. 140 Thomas, or "Tommy," as his father calls him, was sent to school at Mr. GoodalPs, April 28, 1731, where ^16 a year was paid for his board, but he was moved the next year to Mr. Arnold's, so as to be with his elder brothers, Carr and Frederick. When in 1731 his brothers were furnished with new " druggett suits " and doeskin breeches, " Tommy had a new frock of fustian, and a pair of breeches made out of an old scarlet riding coat " of his father's. By the will of his mother's only surviving sister, Mary Lister, of Coleby, dated March 26, 1731, he became sole heir of the Lister family estates at Coleby, Rowston, &c, having a rent roll of about ^3,000 per annum. Strict accounts were kept of the cost of his education, clothes, &c. ; some of the items making one smile. The barber sends in a bill for "shaving Mr. Thos. Scrope from August 1736 to January 1738" (he was a little over 13 years of age !), but as in February, 1736, fifteen shillings were paid to the same gentleman for " a wig for Mr. Thos.'' and in 1736 he had a " new bob-wig,'' we gather that it was his head, and not his chin, which required the razor. Neither are we surprised to find such articles as " tape for the strings of Master Tommy's nightcaps" being paid for. Gervase Scrope, in his will of 1741, left to his son Thomas, "his own mother's pictures, one drawn in oyls, and the other in watercolours or crayons, my sleeve buttons with his mother's hair, and my seal with the Scropes and Listers arms in a pretence engraven on a Topaz." After Gervase Scrope's death Coleby Hall was let furnished to Mr. William Lavour 141 until Thomas came of age. Thomas Scrope appears, from some of the letters and notes in his handwriting, to have travelled upon the Continent, and to have been especially interested in fortifications, but in 1758 he settled down in England, and commenced a series of alterations and improvements at Coleby Hall, planting largely, draining, making fish-ponds, building orna- mental temples in his gardens, &c, the bills for which are preserved, and form an interesting chronicle for the possessors of the property. In 1760 he was senior Captain in the Southern Regiment of the Lincoln- shire Militia, commanded by Colonel Sir John Cust, Bart., being quartered with his regiment at Manchester in April of that year, as a bundle of guard room reports, orders, &c, show". About this date he became an ardent politician, and from various letters and bills it is gathered that he contested Aylesbury in 1764, on the expulsion from Parliament of John Wilkes, whose admirer he must have been, one of the items in the accounts of the date being for banners, with his own arms emblazoned on one side, and " W — kes and Liberty " on the other. Whether 140 Ger. Scrope's Pocket Book and Par. Reg, '« Coleby Miscell., xxxvii. §ao$z of (Eodmngton. 135 the excitement of the election was too much for his mind, or his relations considered his views as " mad," remains uncertain, but a commission in lunacy was held upon him in May, 1764, being then resident in Hill Street, Berkeley Square, when it was declared that he,was of unsound mind, and that though he enjoyed lucid intervals he was not sufficiently sane for the government of himself or his estates; so by Letters Patent dated June 8, 1764, the custody of his body and estate was given to his half-brother, Gervase Scrope, of Cockerington, who, one cannot help thinking, from various letters, had much to do with this incarceration. In five months' time he was released, an order dated November 30, 1764, declaring that Thomas Scrope, of Coleby, has been examined in the Court of Chancery and declared to be recovered, and of sound mind, so that he may " govern " himself and his estates. Gervase Scrope was therefore released from the responsibility, and was warned not to meddle with him, nor to let others. 142 Mr. Vivian appears to have watched over Thomas Scrope's affairs at this date, and objected to what he considered were Gervase's exorbitant demands for the keep of the lunatic. According to Gervase, ^1,000 a year was required; Mr. Vivian contended ^700 was sufficient. Two keepers required two guineas a week, and physicians were put down at ^40, while Gervase maintained that " Tom " liked good living, and always had " expensive dishes for his dinner, such as house lamb, sweet- breads," &c, and always fish and fruit after his dinner, with a pint of wine ; that for supper he had "one hot thing, a chicking perhaps fricasied, or some- thing in that way, and another pint of wine." He had tea for his breakfast, and a " pot of coffee " in the afternoon. 143 In March, 1768, he again ventured on politics, standing for the city of Lincoln, when he headed the poll of 1,483 voters with 534, the Honble. Constantine Phipps recording 500, and Mr. Robert Vyner 449, though the latter was accused of telling the freemen that they could vote as they pleased, no matter whose money they had taken. Mr. Scrope's expenses for this election appear to have amounted to over ^4,000. He sat as Member for Lincoln until the dissolution in 1774, when he again offered himself, but was defeated at the election in October, Henry, Lord Lumley, coming in with 575, Robert Vyner with 522, Mr. Scrope getting only 238, and Henry Sibthorpe 225. Blue and pink were the colours of his rosettes, and his banners were blazoned with " Scrope and Liberty " and " Scrope and Honour." Owing to the ill-feeling which had resulted between himself and his brother Gervase over the lunacy case they were not on speaking terms, so that when in 1773 he became anxious as to the ultimate disposal of the Cockerington estates, he was constrained to employ his brother Frederick as ambassador. This latter writes from Eastcott Park, July 20, 1773, forwarding Gervase Scrope's reply, which was "that no resentment shall stop the Regular succession of my fortune to my late Father's son," but he was anxious that Thomas should make a will in his own and Frederick's favour, " as not a foot of his estates, not even the Scrope part, would revert to the family." Gervase also expresses ]42 Scrope Miscett., No. 99. 143 Letters with No. 99. 136 Notes on the Visitation of Lincolnshire 1634. astonishment that " Tom " should bear him any resentment, and says, " It is mysterious to me what my Brother means by charging me with endangering his safety not long ago : I have never interfer'd with him nor his affairs since his enlargement." Fortunately terms must have been come to, for, as has been shown, Frederick Scrope was left the property unconditionally, and entailed it on Thomas. After Frederick's death in March, 1780, Thomas Scrope evidently thought it behoved him to marry, and accordingly, on November 30, 1780, he was united at Southwell to Maria, eldest daughter of William Clay, of Burgage Hill, Southwell, Esq. (by his wife Jemima, daughter and coheir of Waldegrave Pelham, of Henningham, co. Essex, Esq.), a lady who has been described by some of her nieces, who were living at Southwell not many years ago, as very handsome, but a vain, weak woman. 144 In Thomas Scrope she appears to have had a generous and indulgent husband, for many are the caps and feathers, flounces and furbelows, to say nothing of diamonds and jewellery, for which he paid. Mr. Scrope continued to reside at Coleby after his marriage, entering into a country life, though he made many trips to London. He subscribed five guineas to the "Lincoln Hunt" in 1778 and 1779, and many are the saddles he bought; a "strong hunting saddle" cost but £,1 16s., but then it required a crupper, saddle cloth, and sursingale extra ! A new gun, with steel mounted barrels, gold touch-hole, and flat hollowed lock, was purchased in Grantham, of William Newton, for six pounds. His new "post Chariot" cost in 1768 eighty guineas (besides many extras), and was painted Naples yellow, with the arms and crest upon the panels, the under-carriage and wheels being red, "varnished vermillion." His brother Gervase was content in 1772 with having his carriage " enamel wighl," with under-carriage and wheels of green and gold. We must not forget to note, too, that in those degenerate days, when cleanliness, it is said, was not considered next to godliness, he paid )Q\ for a "new Batheing tub," and half-a-crown at Mr. Rothwell's, of 47, New Bond Street, for a toothbrush. Thomas Scrope's accounts and the careful management of .his estates show that little weakness of mind remained about him. He added various con- venient parcels of land to his property at Coleby, and it was during his life, in 1760, that the heath land at Coleby was inclosed. He was lord of the manor there, and chief proprietor, Oriel College, Sir Nathaniel Thorold, Bart., John Cholmeley and Edmund Tumor, Esqrs., John Walker, Thomas Johnson, and John Toynbee being the other owners. By his will, dated November 29, 1785, he left to his trustees (under the entail of his brother, Frederick Scrope), the Archbishop of York and Dr. Peter Pechard, D.D., his manor of East Harptrey, co. Somerset, and land in Henton Bluet, in the parish of Eckington, in Derbyshire, to be sold for the payment of his debts, and the residue to be paid to his wife, Eliza Maria Scrope. To his wife he also left all his estates in Lincolnshire for life, and after her decease " I give and devise the same to such persons as I shall by deed or 144 Gent. 's Mag., 1780, and inf. from Mr. Clay's family. §arope of Cockerington. 137 codicil appoint." To her he left all jewels, rings, plate, china, linen, and household furniture absolutely. The will was proved in Lincoln July 23, 1792, by Mrs. Scrope, the relict and sole executrix. Mr. Scrope died at Coleby Hall, April 28, 1792, "the last male descend- ant of the ancient family of the Scropes of Cockerington," as the obituary notice in the Gentleman's Magazine points out ; he was buried at Cockerington, the 8th May. On Thomas Scrope's death, without children, the Cockerington estates passed, under the entail created by Frederick James Scrope's will, to Mrs. Peart, the only surviving chjjd of Mary, Countess of Deloraine, but she died without issue in 1795, and the property then passed to William Scrope, of Castle Combe, in Wiltshire, whose only daughter and heir married George Poulett Thompson, and assumed the name and arms of Scrope. She too died without children in 1852, when the estates became the property of Mr. Simon Scroope, of Danby, to whose son they now belong, and who in accordance with Frederick Scrope's will spells his name with but one " o." Not having made any codicil, or other appointment devising his estates after his wife's death, Thomas Scrope's Coleby and Rowston property reverted, when the widow died, June 19, 1806 — she had married by special licence at Fletton, near Peterborough, May 1, 1794, General Albemarle Bertie — to his heir-at-law, who proved to be Stephen Tempest, of Broughton-in-Craven, as descending from a common ancestor, John Scrope, of Spennithorne, whose will of 1544 has already been quoted.

This latter is quite wrong, as Sir Carr had but two brothers, Gervase and Robert. Robert had succeeded Sir Carr in the Cockerington estates by July 1681.

I am sorry it is not now in my power to undertake any business of the Building kind. I have long wished to leave it off entirely, but in vain, and this year I have insensibly been drawn into so much, of one sort or other, that I know not how or where to turn, tout est en desordre et Je ne sais ou donner de la te'te. There is a man near you whose head is in much better order, one Carr, dwelling at York, and once Lord Mayor there. He has built for Mr. Lascelles and many other worthy gentlemen of the North, and would I think shine at Coleby. Some business will call me into Yorkshire about the time of York races ; I shall take a day or two of the sport, and hope to meet you there, when we will talk the matter over. I will endeavour to put you in a way, though I can undertake nothing myself. I am, &c. &c. (no date or signature). Coleby, near Lincoln. July 29th, 1774. — Dear Sir, I beg you will not fail if possible to make Coleby in your way to York races, 'tis your direct road ; I will go with you. I stay here till then. Tho' I say it, you will see a fine place. We are brother genius's in the Architectonical way ; we viewed old Rome together ; and I remember your doing me the honour to ask my opinion on different subjects. Mr. Lascelles may employ one Carr if he pleases ; no Carr for me ; in short you must see Coleby .... This place must not be cobled {sic), it must be either you or Wyatt ; but I had much rather have an old friend and acquaintance. Pray send me a sketch for my gateway and for the epargne .... I beg we may meet and have some funn here ; 'tis the very seat of the Gothick Empire. Sr Cecil Wray, the Solomon of these parts, I much fear is doing all he can to pull down the finest Roman antiquity in the Island, a Roman Arch belonging to the old Roman Station Lindum, near Lincoln, and all this to break a pieces (sic) to mend the turnpike roads. If he carries his point, I'll hand him down to posterity with Attila, Alaric, &c, in a strong English or Latin inscription on some building at Coleby, on the old Roman road straight from Sandwich across the Humber through my Lordship, My compliments to your family.

TOWTHBYE. 144 Notes on the Visitation of Lincolnshire 1634. Tothby, otherwise spelt Totheby, Towthby, Toothby, and Toutheby, is a small manor in the parish of Alford, and was held at a very early period by a family which took the local name. In a MS. volume of Placita Antiqua of the fourteenth century in the Library of Lincoln Cathedral there is a grant from William son of Sir Gilbert de Toutheby Knt. of all his right in certain tenements in the parish of St. George in the city of Lincoln, which had belonged to his father, to William de Braytoft, son of Sir William de Braytoft Knt., his uncle, dated Thursday next after the feast of St. Gregory the Pope, 1344- In the same year William de Toutheby and Oliva his wife appear in court by their attorney, John son of Juliana de Blyton, against Robert de Holme. In 1296 Walter de Toutheby presented, as patron, to the Rectory of Oxcomb in co. Lincoln, and again in 1306. In 1314, however, the King presented, as guardian of the heir of Roger de Scoter. Gilbert de Toutheby presented, as patron, to Tetford, a parish not far from Oxcomb, vii Id. Oct., 1322. He is undoubtedly identical with the Sir Gilbert de Toutheby already mentioned, and, as will be seen lower down, Thomas, the Rector of Tetford, shares in the administration of his will. The will of Sir Gilbert de Toutheby Knt. was proved on Monday next after the feast of St. Chad, 1330, and part of it ran as follows (translated): — "I give and bequeath all my houses in ffletstrete in suburbio Lincoln et London" (sic) to William and John, my sons, for their lives, or until they be promoted to any ecclesiastical benefice ; and after their decease or promotion, then to Robert and Gilbert, my sons (with similar contingency), and then to my right heirs. Also I give and bequeath all my houses in the city of Lincoln to my sons Robert and Gilbert (with contingency as above). Also I give and bequeath to my daughter Margaret two hundred marks " de exitibus custodiae de Billesby et de Marum," first paying forty pounds, which I owe, to Sir Robert de Silkeston. If Margaret marry during my life she is not to receive any of the two hundred marks. Administration was given to Joan, wife of the said Gilbert de Toutheby, Thomas Rector of Tetford, and Ranulph de Saleby Rector of Glenford, executors. — Placita Antiqua, as above. Plainly there was an important family of this name, as is evidenced by their attaining to knighthood, and holding property both in London and in Lincoln, but nothing is known of them after this till the end of the fourteenth century, when the manor of Towthby had passed into another family named Ryther, which seems to have represented the Touthebys in the female line. On the 1 8th July, 1396, a licence for a chauntry in Alford church was granted. Sir William Ryther Knt. paid 20 marks to the King, and power was granted to Sir Philip le Despenser Knt., Henry Malbysshe Rector of Willoughby, Robert Cumberworth, and others, to assign a rent of vli. xiijs. iiijd. issuing out of the manors of Toutheby and Rigsby, for a chaplain to say mass for the soul of Sir John de Toutheby Knt. 1 1 Sir John de Toutheby was apparently living in 1376. — See Gibbons' Early Lincoln Wills, p. 33. ^othcbg of ^Eotkcbp. 145 Sir William Ryther is described as nephew and heir of Sir John de Toutheby. The chauntry is for the soul of Sir John de Toutheby Knt., his son Robert, and his wife Joan, and for the good estate of Sir William Ryther Knt., Johan his wife, and the children of Alianore wife of Sir John de Toutheby Knt. 2 The manor of Toutheby was worth 10 marks per annum, and was held of the Dean and Chapter of Lincoln, Sir Thomas Colepeper Knt., and the heirs of Walter de Toutheby. The manor of Rigsby, worth vli. per annum, was held of the Archbishop of York as of his manor of Benniworth. It is difficult to construct a satisfactory pedigree from the foregoing, but it is clear that the ancient line of the Touthbys had come to an end, and that the Rythers had taken their place. On the 20th Nov., 1399, a licence was granted to Sir William Ryther Knt. and his wife to have mass said " infra manerium de Towthby." In 145 1 a Sir William Ryther, possibly his son, was High Sheriff. - In 15 1 7 Thomas Totheby of Alford was presented at the Archdeacon's Court, on the petition of Thomas Haward, chantry-priest there, for obstructing the performance of the will of Sir John Totheby Knt., founder of the chantry of Alford. The same chantry-priest, by will dated 12 Feb., 1532, and proved at Lincoln 16 April following, provided "yt M r Thomas Totheby shall bye one sufficient chalys to the altare of S* Laurence in the parysh churche of Alford w* the money which he owyth to me by the oversyght of the priest that shall cum next aftyr me in the sayd chauntry, or ells yff he will not, I give the money yt he owyth me to the worke of o r lady of Lincoln." We must now turn to the Visitations ; and in the one for 1592 there is a Towthby pedigree, but unsatisfactory, as Visitation pedigrees usually are. It commences with "Thomas Towthby alias Ryther," and gives only five genera- tions. In the Visitation of 1634 the pedigree is equally unsatisfactory, beginning one generation later than the pedigree of 1592, and differing from it in the marriage of William Towthby, who in 1592 is said to marry Marian, daughter of Roger Cumberworth of Cumberworth, while in 1634 he takes to wife Margaret, daughter of Charles Angevine. He may of course have married both, but a connection certainly did exist with the Angevines, as Jane Angevine of Sturton, in her will dated 23 May, 1552, leaves various bequests to Towthbys. By the aid of wills we are able to amplify the Visitation pedigrees to some extent. Thomas Towthby, who married firstly a Langton and secondly a Rodney, made his will 7 April, 1546. His sons were John, William, and Edmund. He left to his daughter Jane 100 marks, and to his daughters Anne, Mary, and Ursula 40//. apiece. He mentions his sister Johan Towthby and his lands in Towthby, Rigsby, Ailby, Well, Manthorpe, Thoresthorpe, Scremby, &c, and appoints as executors John Angevine and Thomas Quadring ; John Marbury his supervisor. His will was proved 14 July, 1546, in London. P.C.C., Allen, 31. 2 Lincoln Cathedral Muniments, A 2, 28, fo. 28 b. 146 Notes on the Visitation of Lincolnshire 1634. He does not mention his eldest son Francis Towthby, who no doubt was then married and provided for. His will is dated 18 July, 1556. He had married Katherine, daughter of John Lane of Orlingbury, co. Northampton, but left no issue. He leaves the manor of Touthby, after the death of his wife, to his brother William, on condition he does not sell it, and on condition that he pays the vli. xiijs. iiijd. due to the Crown by right of the late chauntry in St. Lawrence's quire in the parish church of Alford. He leaves the manor of Rigsby, after the death of his wife, to his brothers Edmund and John. Mentions his mother Bridget Towthby ; his sisters Anne, Ursula, and Jane ; his aunt, Jane Towthby ; Jenytt Towthby, widow ; and Francis Towthby, of Aby. The will was proved at Lincoln 12 Sept., 1556. Two relations of this family, though not mentioned in the Visitation pedigrees, left wills. William Towthby of Thoresthorpe in Saleby made his will 24 Jan., 1572. He mentions his brother Thomas Towthby and his children ; " Mystres Margaret Towthby my maister's daughter." The will was proved at Lincoln 14 March, 1572. His brother Thomas Towthby's will, dated 13 Dec, 1589, shows also a connection with the Towthbys of Towthby. The testator is a yeoman, but he leaves "one ewe to Mr. Richard Towthby son of John Towthby Esq." The will was proved at Lincoln 22 Dec, 1589. His inventory amounted to ^135 15s. 2d. John Towthby of Towthby, the 4th son of Thomas Towthby, but, by the deaths of his brothers Francis, William, and Edmund, heir to the estates, married Dorcas, daughter of Edward Ayscough of Nun Cotham, called " North "Cottes" in the Visitation of 1592. Her mother was Margaret, daughter of John Gibson of London, and re-married George Skipwith. In her will, proved 18 April, 1594, she leaves "to my daughter Towthbie my gould braceletts." John Towthby had a nnmerous family, but the Visitation of 1592 omits altogether one of his sons, Peregrine, who married three wives — firstly, Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Plaisted, by whom he had Peregrine and Faith ; secondly, Susan Roche, by whom he had Ann and Eleanor ; and thirdly, Jane, daughter of Sir Richard Amcotts, K.B. The other children were, Richard (his heir), William, George, Edward, Tabitha, Frances, Anne, Dorothy, Ursula, and Jane. John Towthby's will was dated 15 Sept., 1598, and proved 14 May, 1599. His son, George Towthby, M.A., was baptized at Alford 11 Dec, 1576, and was buried at Rigsby 29 Oct., 1638. His daughter, Jane Towthby, married John Matthew, son of Toby Matthew, Archbishop of York. His daughter Tabitha, according to the Visitation of 1592, married George Asterby of East Howton, co. Lincoln. The eldest son, Richard Towthby, married no less than five times ; first, Dorothy, daughter of Thomas Sandell, of King's Lynn, by whom he had — (a) Thomas Towthby, baptized at Alford 10 June, 1604, who by his wife Annabella had a son Edward Towthby, who renounced the administration of his father's estate 7 Sept., 1674. (6) Edward Towthby, baptized at Alford in 1605, who married at Revesby 16 Oct., 1662, Troth, daughter of Robert %atktb$ of %otkzb$. 147 Newcomen, of Revesby, and had issue Edward, Anne, and Troth, all living in 1666. (c) Anne Towthby, married at Alford, 12 July, 1621, to John Symonds Gent., of Hilderston, co. Norfolk, (d) Jane Towthby, married 6 Oct., 1628, to Robert Thornhill of Mareham, co. Lincoln. Richard Towthby married, secondly, Agnes, daughter of , by whom he had no issue. He married, thirdly, Faith, daughter of Francis Mussenden of Healing, by whom, who was buried at Alford, 9 April, 1622, he had no issue. He married, fourthly, Elizabeth Goche, widow, at Rigsby, 27 Aug., 1627. In the marriage licence, 3 dated 23 Aug., 1627, he is said to be S3 years of age. He had no issue by her, and he married, fifthly, Anne Ballett, by whom he had a son, John Towthby, born in 1636. Richard Towthby was buried at Alford in 1646. The family as a family of standing in the county virtually ended in him. Little is known of his descendants. His grandson, Edward Towthby, renounces (as has been stated) his father, Thomas Towthby's, administration in 1674. The will of Anne Towthby, the fifth and last wife, does not enlighten us much. She is described as of Woodthorpe, in the parish of Strubby, and relict of Richard Towthby of Towthby Esq., 27 Oct., 1666. She mentions her goddaughter Anne Towthby, 4 daughter of Edward Towthby Esq. ; her nieces, Elizth. Gibbon, Troth Towthby, and Ann Ballett. She bequeaths to Edward Towthby, her nephew, " a Turkey ring," and to Mr. Rd. Morton elk. " a book wch. he hath of mine called S r Walter Rawleigh's Historie." She makes her brother, William Ballett gen., executor. The will was proved in the Court of the Dean and Chapter of Lincoln 19 March, 1666-7. The manor of Towthby, now Tothby, passed into the Christopher family, and thence by marriage through the Sherard and Manners families to the Nisbet-Hamiltons, and so to the present owner, Mrs. Hamilton-Ogilvy.

And yet it was one of considerable standing in the county both in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The pedigree annexed to this notice is, to some extent, hypothetical, in consequence of the meagre details given by genealogists respecting this family, but it is supported by the evidence of wills and p. m. inqs. The name was originally written " le Moyne," simply signifying " Monk," and belonged to a family of some importance in the counties of Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, and Dorsetshire, Various members occur in the P. M. Inqs. of Hen. III., Edw. I., II., and III., and most probably the Lincolnshire Moynes or Moignes were an offshoot. At any rate, in the Testa de Nevil William and John Moyne are mentioned in connexion with Gonerby, in the neighbourhood of Grantham. In Mr. Gibbons' Early Lincoln Wills, a commission for the probate of the will of " Berengarius de Moynge, knight," is mentioned as occurring in Bishop Sutton's Register, 12 80-1 300. I have very little doubt that the testator is identical with Berenger le Moyne who is given in the Calendarium Rotulorum Chartarum, 48 Hen. III. (1264), as holding the Manor of Thirning in Huntingdonshire, and again, 54 Hen. III. (1270), as having the Manor of Bemwell ih Northamptonshire ; the " de " being probably a mistake for " le." A licence for an oratory was granted by Bishop Bokingham to Sir William Moyne, knt., and Mary his wife, dated 23 Sept., 1398 ; no place is mentioned, the licence simply being quamdiu domino placuerit, but a licence was granted 12 July, 1405, to "Lady Mary Moygne, lady of Ratheby," who most likely was his widow. It is uncertain, however, whether "Ratheby" was the Raithby near Louth or the one near Spilsby. In the Visitation of Huntingdonshire, printed by the Camden Society, a deed is quoted wherein the Abbot of Ramsey and William son of William le Moigne are mentioned, the date being 25 Edw. I. ; and in the same Visitation there is given the grant of arms to Sir William Moigne from Thomas Grendall, to whom they had come as heir to John Braumeys, dated 22 Nov., 1391. As these Moignes belonged to the same county as that in which Sir Berenger le Moyne's manor of Thirning was situated, we may infer that there was some connexion between them. But in Bokingham's register we come upon a Laurence Moigne, who, with Katherine his wife, figures in a Brief dated 14 Apl., 1380. He is described as " of Theddlethorpe," and joins with William Aungevyn of Boston, goldsmith, and Elizabeth his wife, and Robert Ardern, elk., in claiming the patronage of the church of Theddlethorpe against the Abbot of Revesby. The King by this brief confirms the Abbot's right. 150 Notes on the Visitation of Lincolnshire 1634. We come upon another Laurence Moigne of Theddlethorpe 40 years later, if indeed it is another, for it is quite possible the two may be identical, as I have assumed in the pedigree annexed. Bishop Fleming gave a licence for an oratory in Theddlethorpe, dated 16 Aug., 1420, to Laurence Moigne, domicellus, and Elizabeth his wife, for five years. If the two are identical, and are not father and son, then Laurence must have married a second wife. Another licence was granted to him, for three years, by Bishop Gray, dated 4 Oct., 1431. There can be no doubt that he is identical with the Laurence Moigne who, with Elizabeth his wife, levied a fine, 9 Hen. VI. (1431), of the manor of Hayton, in co. Notts., with the appurtenances, and four messuages, sixteen tofts, 465 acres of land and a half, 92 acres of meadow and a half, and 46 shillings rent with appurtenances in Hayton, Clareburgh, Wellome Morehouse, Lound, Walkeringham, Misterton, and Stockwith, whereby they conveyed to Gilbert Grayff, elk., and others, and warranted against the heirs of the said Elizabeth (Thoroton's Notts., vol. iii., pa. 285). Although no pedigree is given in either of the printed Visitations there is one in Harl. MSS., 1550, but it is provokingly short. It begins with a Thomas Moigne of Clee, who was in all likelihood the Thomas Moigne who was High Sheriff in 1444. His son, Thomas Moigne, becomes better known to us as he figures in a deed in the possession of Miss Boucherett, of Willingham, dated Thursday after Michaelmas Day, 1456. By this deed John Bleasby, of Bleasby, Esq., and others, convey a messuage and lands in North Willingham to Henry Moigne, son and heir of Thomas Moigne Esq., Thomas Bleasby son and heir of the said John, and Sir John Botyller, Vicar of Willingham. We are now on surer ground, for Henry Moigne's p. m. inq. is in existence, dated 20 Oct., 1503. The jury found that Thomas Moigne and Joan his wife had been seized of the manor of North Willingham,. with remainder to their heirs male ; that they were both dead, and that Henry Moigne had succeeded to it ; that he had enfeoffed Robert Sheffield of West Butterwick, senior, Robert Sheffield of London, junior, John Sheffield of Croxby, and Henry Dowson, with the manor of North Willingham, with remainder to him and his heirs male ; that he was seized also of a capital messuage and lands in Clee, Itterby, Thorganby, South Elkington, Stow, Marton, Grainsby, and Waith ; and that George Moigne was his son and heir. In Collins' Peerage, sub art. "Sheffield, Duke of Buckinghamshire," Robert Sheffield of Butterwick (the seventh of that name) is said to have married Isolde, daughter and heiress of Sir Ulster Moyne Knt, by whom he had Robert Sheffield, afterwards Recorder of London, who died in 15 19. One is tempted to think the name Ulster may be wrongly written for something else, but it is curious as showing that a connexion existed between the Moignes and Sheffields before Henry's father, Thomas Moigne, married Joan Sheffield. It is noticeable also that one of Henry Moigne's feoffees is John Sheffield of Croxby. He had obtained the manor of Croxby by marrying the heiress of the Thoresbys (see Vis. of Lincoln, 1592, p. 64). Jftoigne. 151 We next come to the will of George Moigne, which was proved at Lambeth, 19 Jan., 1506. It is short, and in Latin. An abstract gives the following : — " To my sister Beatrix ' ad maritagium suum' xx marks, ' et Johanni filio suo' x marks. Ecclesise de Kimberley x u . Filio Alexandri Moigne filiolo meo xl 9 . Filio Christoferi Merys filiolo meo xl s ." Residuary legatees and executors Sir Thomas Wodehouse Knt. of Kimberley, Richard Thymmolby of Polum, and Dom. Charles Moigne, Rector of Gateswyde (sic). — P.C.C., Adeane, 15. The Vis. of Lincolnshire for 1392, pa. 1 7, tells us that Henry Bohun of Wragby married Beatrix, daughter and heiress of Henry Moyne of Willingham, and had a son John, so that we have no difficulty in identifying the testator's sister. The manor of Willingham, being entailed on the heir male, could not go to her, but, as we shall see, she probably inherited most of her father's other estates. Willingham must have passed to Laurence Moigne, Henry's younger brother. His p. m. inq. is dated 16 Dec, 1527, The jury found him seized of the manor of Kelstern, the manor of Waith (lately bought of Sir William Conyers, Knt.), and lands in Long Ludford, Brigsley, Normanby, Walesby, and Claxby ; his, feoffees being Charles Yarborough of Yarborough, Christopher Meres of Middle Carlton, and John Aungevyn of Ashby. He left two daughters, Mary and Katharine, his coheiresses. His father, deceased, was Thomas Moigne, and his next brother and heir male was Alexander Moigne. It is easy to see by a reference to the pedigree how well it is confirmed by these p. m. inqs. Laurence and Alexander must have been much younger than Henry, as they are called seventh and eighth sons respectively, in the pedigree, and so the intermediate brothers Charles, Thomas, Nicholas, John, and Christopher, must have died before 1527, without male issue, as Willingham eventually came to Alexander's son Thomas. Nothing is known about them except that Charles was a Priest. Laurence Moigne's daughter Katherine married Thomas Crathorne of Saltfleetby, who is said, erroneously, in the Vis. of 1562 to have married " Katharine daughter and heir of Thomas Moyne." In Glover's Vis. of Yorkshire the mistake is set right. Laurence's heir male was his brother Alexander Moigne, the eighth son of Thomas Moigne and Joan Sheffield. He just outlived his brother, for bis will dated 4' May, 1528, was proved 21 May, 1529. He calls himself " Alexander Moigne of Sixhills." He left to his wife Anne (a daughter of John Copledike of Harrington), his rents from Lissington, East Rasen, West Rasen, Tealby, Ryseby beside Walesby, Long Ludford, and Thorganby, for life, and after her to his son Thomas Moigne and his heirs male. Also his manor of Waith with appurtenances in Marsh Chapel, Fulstow, Horn- castle, Hemingby, and Gautby, for life, and after her his son, Simon Moigne, was to have the lands in Gautby to him and his heirs male, and his son James Moigne was to have the manor of Waith to him and his heirs male. Simon was to have xxvis. viiid. per ann. during his mother's life. It will be observed that no mention is made of Willingham, and yet as it came to Thomas Moigne, the son of Alexander, it must have been enjoyed by him and by Laurence Moigne also. 152 Notes on the Visitation of Lincolnshire 1634. The manor of Kelstern it will be seen had passed away, probably to Laurence Moigne's daughters, as also the lands in Brigsley, Normanby, and Claxby. No mention is made of any property in Sixhills, so probably Alexander only occupied a house there. His eldest son, Thomas Moigne, was the unlucky cause of the family's decline. He was bred to the law and became Recorder of Lincoln. He married, about 1531, Bridget daughter of Sir William Hansard, Knt., of South Kelsey. He was drawn, like so many other gentlemen, into the popular rising at the suppression of the monasteries in 1536, and possibly on account of his having held the Recordership of Lincoln, he was one of the few selected for punishment. According to the report among the State papers, he spoke in his defence so skilfully for three hours that " but for the diligence of the King's Sergeant " he and all the rest would have been acquitted. He was however convicted of high treason and hanged at Lincoln. Forfeiture of estate followed, but owing to settlements made on his mother Anne, and his wife Bridget, the Crown was only able to seize North Willingham, Bridget Moigne, the widow, had had lands in Usselby, Osgodby, Owersby, and Stainton in Wadingham, settled upon her by deed bearing date 23 Nov., 1531, and Anne Moigne, the mother, had a life interest in a large share of Alexander Moigne's property. So long as they lived the Crown could not touch it. But so far as we can judge the Crown seems to have acted with leniency. Among Miss Boucherett's muniments at Willingham is a roll of parchment giving the accounts for 1537 of Simon Moigne, the next brother of Thomas, who had been appointed bailiff for the King after the attainder of his unfortunate brother. The rents from Willingham amounted to xxixli. xvjs., which of course were paid to the Crown. The rents from Usselby came to vli. xvjs. ijd., from Osgodby ijli. xixs. iiijd., from Owersby xvjs. viijd., and from Stainton in Wadingham iijs. All these were the jointure of Bridget Moigne, Thomas' widow. The rent of a granary in Thoresway, amounting to only xxd., was paid to the Crown, as it had been leased to the Prioress of Grimsby, a lately dissolved religious house. , The rents from Horncastle were xxs., from Hemingby iiijli. vjs. iiijd., from Lissington vli. xiiijs. viijd., from Market Rasen vjli. vs. xd., from Marsh Chapel xxvijs. ixjd., and from the manor of Waith vijli. ixs. jd. ; all these being the jointure of Anne, mother of the attainted Thomas, and widow of Alexander Moigne of Sixhills. Another roll, on paper, of 1544-5, very similar to the preceding, gives some additional information. Simon Moigne is still bailiff. The rents from Willingham only amount now to xiiijli. xixs., instead of xxixli. xvjs., the rent in 1537, but this reduction was owing to the demesne lands having been leased to John Dyon at a yearly rent of xijli. ixs. a year. John Dyon, who was afterwards of Tathwell near Louth, eventually became wealthy, and his daughter and heiress married Robert Monson, a Judge, who was buried in Lincoln Minster. Bridget Moigne still lived and had her jointure from Usselby, Osgodby, Owersby, and Stainton in Wadingham, but Anne Moigne, mother of Thomas, Jttoign*. 153 was now dead. A rent of xxxvjs. a year out of four tenements in the Bail of Lincoln was paid to Anne, wife of Simon Moigne, in accordance with a settle- ment dated 19 Nov., 1531, made by Thomas Moigne, and this was not affected by the attainder. The lands held in jointure by the deceased Anne Moigne in Horncastle, Hemingby, Marshchapel, Lissington, Market Rasen, Long Ludford, Gautby, and Waith, had escheated to the King on her death, and here again the Crown showed marked leniency to Simon Moigne, who had hitherto acted as bailiff for North Willingham. By letters patent dated 6 June, 1544, the King granted " to his beloved Simon Moigne, and his heirs male, the son of the late Alexander Moigne Esq., one messuage and 36 acres of arable land, 34 of meadow, and 2 closes of pasture situated in Gautby; and 3 cottages, 3 curtilages, in Horncastle ; 1 messuage, 1 garden, and 3 closes of pasture in Hemingby ; 5 bovates of arable land and 9 acres of meadow in Hemingby ; 6 cottages and 5d. rent in Marsh Chapel ; 8 messuages, 140 acres of arable land, 12 of meadow, and 2s. 8d. rent in Lissington; 16 cottages with gardens, and 12 acres of pasture in Market Rasen ; 1 messuage and 36 acres of arable land in Long Ludford; all to be held of the Crown at a rent of 38s. a year and t the service of a 30th part of a knight's fee. The Crown also granted to him all rents, &c, which might be due at the death of his mother, Anne Moigne, from the above estates. Similar favour was shown to the other brother, James Moigne. By letters patent of the same date as above the King granted " to his beloved James Moigne, son of Alexander Moigne Esq. deceased, and his heirs male," the manor of Waith, to be held of the Crown by service of a 40th part of a knight's fee and 21s. rent. Curiously enough the King's Escheator, when the office of Thomas Moigne was taken after the attainder, did not take note of the Tealby estate of the annual rent of iijli. vs. ijd., which was also part of Anne Moigne's jointure ; accordingly this also was granted to Simon Moigne in the following words : — " Memorandum, that the xxiij 111 day of June in the xxxiiij* yere of the Reigne of our Soveraigne Lorde Kyng Henrie the eight for the Lands and Tenements lying and being in Teilbye in the Countye of Lincolne that of late dyd pertayne to one Alexander Moigne father to one Symond Moigne, fforasmuche as the office found after the attainder of one Thomas Moigne Elder Brother to the sayd Symond Moigne in the said Countye of Lincolne of Treason Attaynted ys no mentyon made that the said Thomas was seasyd of any Lands or Tenements in Teilbye at the tyme of his Treason committed nor any tyme after soo that as yett appearethe to us no matter of Recorde or otherwise that the Kynge's Highnes ought to have any Lands and Tenements in Teilbye aforesayd by the Attaynder of the sayd Thomas, And ffor that it appearethe to us that the sayd Symond Moigne should have just Tytle yn the same, Yt is therefore ordered and decreid here in this Courte of the Generall Surveyor of the Kyng's lands That the said Simond Moigne shall have ffrohensforthe and quietlye enioye the same lands and tenements in Teilbye 154 Notes on the Visitation of Lincolnshire 1634. to hym and his heires without any interruption of eny of the Kyng's Officers unto suche tyme as there shalbe found any other sufficyent tytle yn the same for the Kynge our said Soverainge Lorde." We can see from the foregoing that the Crown was not disposed to insist rigorously on its rights, but the manor of North Willingham was lost to the Moigne family. With this exception however they seem to have retained all that Alexander Moigne had possessed. From Miss Boucherett's muniments we learn that the manor of Willingham was granted by letters patent of Philip and Mary to Lady Anne Stanhope, for life, with remainder to her son Thomas Stanhope. This Lady Anne was the widow of Sir Michael Stanhope, Knt., ancestor of the Earls of Chesterfield, who obtained large grants of Abbey lands from Hen. VIII., and who was beheaded in the following reign of Edw. VI., 26 Feb., JSSS- The eldest son, Thomas Stanhope, however, was high in favour with Queen Elizabeth, being one of the four Nottinghamshire Knights commemorated in the royal distitch, " Gervase the gentle, Stanhope the stout, Markham the lion, and Sutton the lout." His mother did not die till 1587, so that having a life interest in Willingham, she joined with him in a deed of feoffment, dated 30 Nov., 1561, of the manor of Willingham to Christopher Wray and Christopher Gibson. But here we find a further complication of interests. The attainted Thomas Moigne had left two daughters, Anne who married Thomas Brocklesby, and Elizabeth wife of Thomas Moryson, of Cadeby. The Brocklesbys were in favour with the Crown, and shared in the plunder of the monastic houses, and we find Thomas Stanhope conveying Willingham to Wray and Gibson with certain conditions whereby Thomas Brocklesby may hold the estate. Then a recovery dated 1562-3 is brought by Wray and Gibson, against Thomas Stanhope, of 4 messuages, 4 tofts, 1 dove house, 8 gardens, 8 orchards, 300 acres of arable land, 200 of meadow, 400 of pasture, 10 of wood, and 500 of furze and heath in North Willingham, to the use of Thomas Brocklesby. Then a bargain and sale dated 26 Oct., 1565, of Willingham from Thomas Brocklesby, Gent., to Christopher Wray, Esq., with certain exceptions. Wray and Brocklesby seem in fact to have been joint owners of Willingham from this point, as John Conyers had a pardon granted him, dated 19 June, 1602, for having bought the manor of Willingham from them without a licence of alienation. Wray was a celebrated Lord Chief Justice, and in his will he mentions " twelve sylver spones wch were Mr. Broklesbies," while in the Vis. of 1562, Thomas Brocklesby, who married Anne Moigne, is given as the son by the third wife of Robert Brocklesby of Glentworth, the seat of the Wrays But another interest in Willingham is disclosed by letters patent dated 18 Jan., 1600, granting the manor of Willingham with rents of assize (23s 6d per ann.) and divers cottages and parcels of land in Usselby, Owersby, Osgodbv Stainton, &c, late in the tenure of Thomas Moryson, and then or late in the tenure of Edward Moryson; of the yearly value of 12H. 12s. 8d , which were late parcel of the possessions of Thomas Moigne attainted of high treason &c Out of all this it is difficult to make the history of the manor clear 'it is ' plain however that the Stanhopes alienated it, and that the Wrays Brocklesbvs and Morysons had different interests in it, till the Convers familv a Wh J ^oignc. 155 Thomas Conyers had a licence to sell the manor to Peter Palmer dated so Jan., 1609, and Palmer had a similar licence to sell it to Laurence Caldwell dated 2 Dec, 1616. Finally Caldwell sold it to Florentine Tainturier for 3820IL, 10 Dec, 1647, and his daughter Anne brought it in marriage to Matthew Boucherett, from whom the present lady of the manor, Miss Boucherett, descends. We have now to turn to Simon Moigne who became head of the male line of the family on the death of Thomas. In his will (proved 27 May, 1558), he calls himself " of Willingham," and leaves his wife Anne 20H. a year rent out of Willingham and Scamblesby, although his interest could not have been large in Willingham where he only acted as bailiff. His manof of Scamblesby he leaves to his son Francis Moigne, and 200H. to his daughter Anne. He speaks of his " cousin Dyon " who was the John Dyon who had a lease of the demesne of Willingham from the Crown, and he makes Thomas Moryson, Gent., a supervisor. His son, Francis Moigne, in his will dated 1 1 Aug. and proved 1 Oct., 1578, is " of Cadeby," the Morysons' seat. He leaves the rents of two parts of his manors and lands in Waith, Gautby, Lissington, Rasen, Lincoln, Tealby, Ludford, and Marsh Chapel to the payment of his debts, and the bringing up of his younger son, Thomas Moigne. He commits him and his elder brother John Moigne and his daughter Susan to the guardianship of his cousin Thomas Moryson senior. The mention of the debts may serve as a clue to the mysterious disappear- ance of the Moignes after this. Possibly the estates were sold. A John Moigne is entered at Gray's Inn, 24 Jan., 1581-2, as " John Moyne of Barnard's Inn and Co. Lincoln gent." He was probably Francis Moigne's son. Later on, and in the Chancery proceedings of Charles I. , we come upon a John Moigne who in all probability was the same person. The suit was between him and Charles Dalyson, Esq., who had purchased from him the manor of Lissington for 1 850H. Moigne had covenanted to deliver all deeds and writings to Dalyson, but his mother had married a certain William Dios, who had got possession of the documents, and Dalyson he averred still owed him 3oli. of the i8soli. purchase money. Lissington being part of Alexander Moigne's estates, we may be almost sure that this John Moigne was his descendant, either through Simon or James Moigne. In some MS. notes in a Herald's book at the College of Arms, about the close of the sixteenth century, Mr. Gibbons has found the following entry under the heading " Market Rasen " : — " In the house of Mr. John Moygne standeth these arms in glasse as also on a pewe in the Church of Market Rasen," with a drawing of the coat, " sable a fess dancett6 between six mullets argent." This is the coat assigned to Moigne in Yorke's " Union of Honour." Probably this Mr. John Moigne is identical with the Gray's Inn student of 1581, and the litigant in the reign of Charles I. These however are not the arms granted to Sir William Moigne in the Vis. of Huntingdonshire already mentioned, for they were, "argent on a cross azure five garbs or." A chorister of the name of George Moyne was in the choir of Lincoln Cathedral in 1603. 156 Notes on the Visitation of Lincolnshire 1634. Of James Moigne, of Waith, brother to Simon, I can find no trace at all. Osias Moyne, Rector of Maltby (will proved 28 March, 1541), may have been an offshoot of the family. He mentions his brothers John and Nicholas Moyne. The pedigree which accompanies this sketch of the Moigne family is, necessarily, far from complete. We can only conjecture that Laurence Moigne, of Theddlethorpe, was the father of Thomas Moigne, of Clee. The marriage of Elizabeth Moigne with Richard Yarborough is given in the Yarborough pedigree of 1 562, but the particular Thomas is not indicated. We may however fairly infer from other evidence that Elizabeth was sister of Laurence Moigne, as he enfeoffed Charles Yarborough, with others, in his estates, and, according to the Yarborough pedigree, Charles was son of Richard Yarborough by Elizabeth Moigne. The connection between the Moignes and Angevines seems to have begun very early, as, in the Royal Brief of 1380, Laurence Moigne is associated with William Aungevyn. So also John Aungevyn is one of Laurence Moigne's feoffees in 1527. No intermarriage is given in the Angevine pedigree in the Vis. of 1562, but a note in the pedigree of the Maddison family, drawn up in the reign of Elizabeth, and apparently added in the handwriting of Sir Ralph Maddison, mentions one. Sir Ralph's ancestor, Christopher Maddison, a fifth son of William Maddison, of Unthank Hall in Durham, had, according to the Visitations, married a coheiress of the Angevines of Saltfleetby about the year 1452. The note appended to this marriage runs thus : — " And Moygne married ye 3 d daughter and coheir of Angevine — the heir male of this Moygne was beheaded for high treason with the Lord Hussey and the Abbot of Louth Parke," &c. Obviously the heir male was the unfortunate Thomas Moigne, of whom we have treated, but the Moigne who married an Angevine is a subject of conjecture. Looking at the pedigree, and taking dates into account, one would be inclined to think it must have been either Henry or Laurence Moigne. Neither of their wives is known. Laurence appointed an Angevine a feoffee, and William Angevine of West Ashby, whose p. m. inq. is dated 23 March, 1500, had enfeoffed Charles Moigne, clerk, and John Moigne, gent., in his estates, both of them being brothers of Henry and Laurence. I subjoin some notes supplied by Mr. Gibbons : — 1342. A licence for an oratory granted to William Moyne in his mansion of Heyling, in the parish of Stallingborough. (Bp. Beke's Reg.) This may have been the father of Sir William Moyne, above mentioned, who had a similar licence in 1398. Admon. of John Moigne, of East Rasen, dated 16 Sept., 1589, to widow Avicia.

About 5 years since Gifford Moyne sold the freehold of the premises to Edward Barker, the defendant. (This Giffard may have been a son of John, of Gray's Inn.) In 1266 John le Moyne was a Commissioner of Sewers in Spalding. In 1441 Thomas Moigne was M.P, for Great Grimsby, and John Moigne in 1488 and 1489. In 1466 Thomas Moigne was appointed, with others, to survey sewers at the Ancholme, Bishop's Bridge, &c, and in 1483 Thomas Moigne, John Moigne, and others served on the same commission.

He married Alice daughter of Sir Frederic Tilney knt., and had, William ob. s.p., Thomas his heir, and Patrick. He died 15 July, 1415, and was buried at S. Bartholomew's Church, Covenham, where there is a 29 brass to his memory. His wife survived, and 1427-8 had 30 dower in Little Carlton, Reston, Yerdburgh, and Germethorp from lands which her son Patrick held. 31 In 10 Henry VI. [1431-2] she was seised of certain lands in Ingoldmells. Patrick de Skipwith, the younger son of John and Alice his wife, was the ancestor of the Skipwiths of Utterby. In 141 6 a 32 charter mentions manors, lands, and tenements, in the vills of Bekeby, Walesby, Otteby, Risseby, S. Staynton, Tevelby, N. Staynton, Randeby, Little Carlton, Uphall, and Golsby, which Thomas Skypwyth, son and heir of John de Skypwyth, shall give to Patrick, his brother, and the heirs male of his body. S3 Patrick was M.P. for the County in 1427, and again in 1433. He married Agnes, daughter and heir of Sir Thomas Hawley knt., and so obtained the manor of Utterby. They had three sons, John, William, and Thomas. 34 John married Agnes daughter of John Langholm, and had a son Thomas, who 35 married Joane daughter and heir of Elkington, and had a son John, who married Agnes daughter of Langham, and had a son Thomas, who married Mary Billesby, and had a son John, who married Eleanor daughter of ■ Sutton, of Burton. John and Eleanor had two sons, William Skipwith of Utterby gent, whose 36 will was proved 24 Nov., 1571, and Thomas Skipwith, the eldest son, who succeeded to the family estates. The 37 Inquisition of Thomas Skipwith states that he was seised of the manor of Utterby, called Halley manor, with lands in Utterby and N. Ormsby, and mentions his wife Mabel, and his son and heir William Skypwith of the age of 18 years and 10 months. He had married Mabel daughter of Sir William Skipwith of Ormsby, on whom her father had 38 settled in 1557 lands in Little and Great Carlton. They had two sons, William and Edmund ; and four daughters, Elizabeth, Margaret, Eleanor, and Anne. William the eldest son married Susan daughter of Sir Richard Skipwith of Ormsby.

To return to the elder branch of the family. Sir Thomas Skipwith knt., eldest surviving son of John Skipwith and Alice his wife, took part in the French Wars of King Henry V. He married Margaret daughter of William, fifth Lord Willoughby de Eresby. 42 His Inquisition was taken in 141 8, from which and certain charters at Ormsby we learn he held the manor of Skipwith with lands there and in Menithorp, co. York, and the manors of Ormsby, Calthorp, Catdaile, and Laceby, co. Lincoln, and the advowsons of the churches of Ormsby, Ketsby, Ingoldmells, Laceby, Langton next Horncastle, Scrafeld, Benniworth, and of the Chantry called Cause Chantry in Lincoln Cathedral. His mother seems to have been in possession of the Ingoldmells property. His widow married Sir William Oldhall knt., who held in her right 43 the Ormsby and Ketsby fees in 1427-8. "In 1431-2 he held lands in Laceby as well. A fine 17 Henry VI. [1438-9] shows Sir William Oldhall and Margaret his wife as holding the manor of Southormesby, &c, for their lives, with remainder to William Skypwith Esq. Sir William Skipwith knt, only son and heir of Sir Thomas, was 34 weeks old when his father's inquisition was taken. In 45 1448 he makes a settlement of his manors, lands, &c, in Ingoldmels, N. Hiltoft, Mumby, Anderby, Burgh, ffryskenay, Skegneys, Croft, Wynthorp, Cokeryngton, Aysterby, Golseby, and Asheby. In 1459 he grants to trustees the manors of Skypwyth, and Menthorp, co.

In Abraham de la Pryme's Diary (Surtees Society, vol. 54) is a short account of this family, taken from a MS. of Bp. Sanderson, entitled " Nevil's pedigree of Faldingworth. Collected out of evidences and ancient records in the custody of M r . John Nevile, nunc de Faldingworth, 1641, by D r Sanderson, bishop of Lincoln." This MS. is said to be now in the possession of the family of Mr. Wells Cole, of Stones Place, near Lincoln. Many of the charters from which it was compiled are in the possession of Mr. Edward Peacock, F.S. A. The pedigree begins with Thos. de Nova Villa\ " circa tempus conquestoris Anglise." Then after four generations comes Thos. de Nevil, whose wife's name was Johanna ; they are said to be the first of the race whose existence is proved by record evidence. From this Thomas, John Nevill, in whose possession the family papers were when Bp. Sanderson made the pedigree, was the twelfth in direct succession. He was born in 1605, and his wife was Jane, dau. of Hy. Nelson, of Hougham. His second son was John Nevil of Jtebile of Jalbittjjtotrrih. 241 Winterton. He married — i, Ann, dau. of John Morley, of Winterton (see Peacock's Church Furniture), but had no issue by her; 2, Effame Gravenor, at Messingham, 29 Nov., 1661. By her he had three children, John, Edward, and Annes John Nevil was Coroner for this part of Lincolnshire at the end of the seventeenth century, and his papers relating to inquests are in Mr. Peacock's possession. He was buried at Winterton Dec. 13, 1701. His son John, who lived at Ashby, par. Bottesford, was buried at Winterton April 19, 1736. There is no stone to either of them in the church or churchyard.

The following notes are here thrown together for the sake of convenience, though not, for the most part, relating to the Faldingworth branch. The rough pedigrees prefixed will serve to explain many of the relationships, but it is certain that these pedigrees are inaccurate in some points. It is hoped hereafter, under the pedigree of Nevile of Aubourn, to give some further notes which the Editor has collected, especially some very interesting wills from the Registers at York and Southwell. Pedigrees of the Lincolnshire Neviles are also printed in Stonehouse's Isle of Axholme, and in De Nova Villa, or the House of Nevill in Sunshine and Shade, by H. J. Swallow, 8vo., 1885. 246 Notes on the Visitation of Lincolnshire 1634. NEVILE OF WELLINGORE AND AUBOURN. Sir W m Nevile= of S.

Wit- nesses depose that William Savile died seised of the manor of Haceby, worth ^200 per annum, and made his will about November, 1657. That by his will Wm. Savile devised Haceby to Clinton and Walcott for the use of his nephew William Savile of Newton, remainder to nephew Wm. Thorold, and failing their heirs to be divided between his cousin Savile of Mexborow and Daniel Savile of London. This William must therefore have been the eldest son of Gabriel Savile. Another deed at Belton, dated Sept. 5th, 1607 : — William Savyle of Beverley co. York conveyed lands at Haceby to Lady Katherine Pell of Dembleby. Capt. William Savile's commission, signed by the Earl of Lindsey, as Captain in the Lincolnshire Militia, dated Sept. 12, 1666. William Savile fined ^40 for delinquency, July 7, 1646. (Cal. Com"' Compounding, part ii., p. 1382.) Alice Lady Cust had a third of Newton and Haceby. Sir P. Cust pur- chased Newton from the three coheirs just before his marriage, and his son, Sir Ric. Cust, sold Newton. Haceby property still belongs to Lord Brownlow. There is also a deed at Belton, dated 1596, by which Gabriel Savyle and Mary his wife convey land at Haceby to Michael Savyle, William Savyle, and Thomas Whichcote.

No doubt the date 1639, though recently so copied by one of the Pursuivants, is 1634 in the original, because Skipwith Blanchard was baptised at South Ormsby on Jan. 31, 1631, his parents having been married there on Jan. 20, 1630. Besides, the date of the Visitation itself is 1634. In temp. Hen. 3, Gilbert Blanchard held in Burgh-le-Marsh one-fourth of a knight's fee of Gilbert de Gaunt, who held it of the King in capite. (Testa de Nevill.) In 1302 Nicholas le Marchaunt of Clixeby, Alan le Prest of the same, and William de Waleys were attached to answer to William Blaunchard of Clixeby on a plea wherefore by force and arms they had made an assault upon him, the said William Blaunchard, at Clixeby aforesaid, &c. (Coram liege Roll, 30 Ed. 1, m. 62.) In 1302 the Priory of Sixhill presented one priest to the rectory of Nettleton, and Matilda Blanchard and John Dalazun her son presented another (Bp. Dalderby's Register); and a century before there was a suit between the Prior of Sixhill and Wm. Blanchard as to the advowson of a moiety of the church, when the Prior's Attorney comes and admits William's claim, saying that the Prior is infirm and cannot prosecute his plea.

This pedigree, vouched for and signed by Nathaniel Pilkington, rector of North Cotes, &c, contains several evident errors. As was usual at this period, the Heralds accepted oral testimony, vouched for by the applicant. The pedigree sets forth that Geoffrey Pilkington of Rivington had five sons, amongst the number the Bishop of Durham (James) and his brothers John and Leonard. The three latter personages, however, were sons of Richard Pilkington, Lord of the Manor of Rivington, by Alice Asshawe his wife, and were not sons of Geoffrey ! According to the Rivington deeds, the descent of the Bishop and his brothers was as follows : — 276 Notes on the Visitation of Lincolnshire 1634. ■s c •■ k fc & « p 01 .MS J a 3 are ivi iss E? -S a (u set wife, Amb , by t3 a IK. u ° 6fl-dT3 ■n +0 Ralph born ab 1475-6.

For this Note the Editor is indebted to Lieut. -Col. John Pilkington, of Sandown Park, Wavertree, author of The History of the Lancashire Family of Pilkington, 1894. Of the persons mentioned in the pedigree, I. Thomas of Wold Newton was of St. John's Coll., Cambridge, B.A. 1578, M.A. 1582. He was also of Ludbrough. His son, II. Nathaniel, was of Magd. Coll., Cambridge, B.A. 1596, M.A. 1600. Rector of Hawerby-cum-Beesby 1616. Died 1642. His wife died in 1644. Their eldest son, Thomas, was of Magd. Coll., Cambridge, B.A. 1624, M.A. 1628. Obiit vita patris, ccelebs. Their third son, George, married Cassandra . . . . , and had issue — Richard, born 1642, died 1651 ; Anna, born 1642; and Thomas, born 1646. Their daughter, Elizth., married Nathaniel Humphrey of Hawerby in 1626, and died in 1639, leaving two sons, Thomas and Nathaniel ; and their second son, III. Richard, inherited his father's property in 1640, and died in 1661, having married Elizth. Wildman in 1633, by whom he had three children — Elizth, who married (1) Thos. Heaton, (2) Wm. Welfit of Would Newton, 1629; Nathaniel, of Sid. Coll., Cambridge, B.A. 1655, M.A. 1659, rector of Gayton-le-Marsh, where he was buried ; he married Katherine Holme in 1661, but they had no issue ; and IV. Richard, who died about 1695, having married Elizth , whore-married Sheriff, and died 1733. He had eight children, amongst them being V. Richard, who was born 1675, and died 1728 at Theddlethorpe, having married in 1704 Anne Hurst of Theddlethorpe, who died there 1728-9, set. 45. He had issue Robt. and VI. Richard of Skendleby, born 1706, died 1772, having married Isabella Caldecott in 1729. Their great-great-grandson is now Rector of Upper Heyford, Banbury. Marriage Bonds at Lincoln.* 1633, April 19.

The Editor is indebted to Lord Hawkesbury for the following remarks on the notice of this family given at page 75 : — In your account of the last Sir Edward Ayscoghe, who died 1699 aged 48, you do not give all his children. They were as follows : — By the 1st wife, Bridget Skynner — 1. Edward, bapt. S. Kelsey 21 Jan., 1679-80, buried Stallingborough 28 May, 1681. 2. Anne, bapt. S. Kelsey 13 Oct., 1674, m. John Digby, of Mansfield Woodhouse; mar. sett, dated 24 June, 1696. She d. s.p. 17 Oct., 1696, set. 22 ; bur. at Mansfield Woodhouse. 3. Bridget, m. in 1703, as his 2nd wife, John Hanbury of Pontypool. She d. 1 741 ; he d. 1734. By the 2nd wife, Mary Harbord — 1. Charles, only son, d. at Grasby 1 Feb. 1706-7, buried at Stallingboro' 5 Feb. 1706-7. 1. Katherine, eld. d. by 2nd wife. d. y. 2. Mary, d. y., bur. at Stallingboro', 20 Oct., 1699. 3. Isabel, bapt. S. Kelsey 13 June, 1691, m. Matth. Boucherett of N. Willingham; bur. Stallingboro' 23 Oct., 1748. 4. Margaret, bapt. S. Kelsey 3 July, 1692 ; m. Willm. Frankland, 2nd son of Sir Thos. Frankland, Bt. Had one son and one daughter, who d. infs., and she d. under age s.p. 1710. 5. Grace, bapt. S. K. 10 Jan., 1693-4, bur. Stallingboro' 20 Jan., 1693-4. 6. Letitia, mar. St. Andrew Thornhagh, Esq., of Osberton, Notts. (she bur. Sturton n April, 1746); was of Carburton, Notts., in his father's lifetime. She is in some pedigrees called eldest coheir. 7. Martha, youngest daughter, d. very young, and was buried in the same grave with her father. I have never been able to find Mrs. St. A. Thornhagh's baptism. It may be at Grasby, but in some pedigrees she is called the elder coheir. In a second letter Lord Hawkesbury says : — I hope you will not mind my again alluding to the Ayscough Notes, but wherever the Stallingborough inscriptions were taken from, they are not 2 80 Notes on the Visitation of Lincolnshire 1 634. correctly given. I copied them very carefully some years ago, and send them on the enclosed sheet. For it seems a pity when giving a description of monuments to copy one which contains errors and was not carefully noted, as you will see if you compare. For instance, the hexameters and pentameters under the figures on Brass No. 1 are given in wrong order. Of course they should read (forgetting for the moment the contractions) in this way : — Ossa sub hoc gelido Willielmi militis Ayscugh Marmore non parvo munera pressa jacent. Cui conjuncta jacet sua Margeria pudica filia Roberti militis hec hiliard. 2. The inscription on the great monument is not given correctly, for I copied mine very carefully, and the description of the large quartered coat- of-arms, broken off and lying loose on No. 3 (altar tomb), whilst justly pointing out the error of the Heralds in inserting Ayala, &c, adds, "that the great mistake is that if these be inserted at all, Blount should be represented, &c, &c, implying that it is not." But it is there, and is in the quarter said to be defaced, 3 of the 2nd grand quarter, for I have a note of the barry nebule6 coat of Blount being there and plainly visible long since 1830, the date of these notes. At the same time I must admit it is in the wrong place in the grand quarter, for, if there, it should come first, not third. But what Mr. Floyer says about the Ayscough family not quartering Blount except on a canton on the Hawley coat is perfectly correct, though I know several instances where the Heralds of that day allowed quarterings in precisely similar cases (viz., when the lady was heiress only of her mother, not of her father, when in some cases the Heralds of that day allowed the father's coat to be quartered also as I have said). I believe, too, that the Hutton and Chancellor arms are correct. The notes of the brasses are all from rubbings, so you may believe they also are correct. I have not been there for three years, but when I subscribed to the Organ Fund, Mr. Lowe, the then Vicar, promised me that the brasses lying loose should be fixed in their places. May I add one further remark, and that is that in these Notes you have printed two generations of the main line are omitted — those between the William Ayscoghe who married Katherine Heneage and the last Sir Edward (d. 1699), married (1) Bridget Skinner, and (2) Mary Harbord. The two intermediate generations were both Sir Edward. The first married Frances, d. and heir of Sir Nicholas Clifford, who brought in (through her descent from the Staffords) the blood of the last of the Plantagenets, the unfortunate Margaret, Countess of Salisbury, beheaded by Henry VIII. The next Sir Edwd. Ayscoghe m. 1645 Isabel, d. of Sir J. Bolle of Scampton. Lord Hawkesbury's Notes of the monuments and inscriptions are most precise and accurate and illustrated by sketches, and the Editor thinks the best way will be to give Holies' account of the monuments, &c, as they were about the year 1640, together with a running commentary comprising Lord Hawkesbury's Notes of the present condition of those still left : — ^pcottgh. 281 Staixingburgh.

Maritus — " Sea Trinitas, unus Deus, miserere nobis." Vxor — " Libera nos, famulos tuos, 6 Beata Trinitas." Lord Hawkesbury's note of this monument is as follows : — On a slab on the floor, just at the foot of the altar step, are the figures in brass of a knight and lady ; and the matrix of a smaller brass (children) above their heads. On the knight's surcoat — I. Ayscoghe. 2. Talboys. 3. Chavernill. 4. Cokefield. On the lady's dress — 1. A chevron between three mullets (Hiliard). 2. A bend sinister between six covered cups. 3.

This large shield and an obelisk, broken off the above monument, lies on a tomb not mentioned by Holies, but described by Lord Hawkesbury as follows : — A monument against the north wall, under the last, on which are the effigies of a knight and a lady, the latter reclining on her right hand ; and underneath the kneeling figures of six sons and six daughters. Round the verge, in gold letters on blue : — Vxor tva vt vitis frvgefera erit in laterib' Domvs tvae & filii tvi sicvt plantae olivam in circvitv mensq : tvae Ecce sic benedicetvr vir qvi tvm verit Dominvm.

A greyhound cursant between 3 Leopards, a border engrailed ... Henneage. The inscription given by Holies is evidently only a kind of paraphrase. Lord Hawkesbury's account is : — On a slab partly concealed by the altar are the following — 1. At the head of the stone the matrix of an oblong piece of brass now lying about loose, but which Mr. Lowe, the Vicar, promised me should be fixed in its place. It exactly fitted the matrix. The inscription on it is — [H]ere lyeth Bvried William Ayscvgh | [Esjqvier Sonne and heire of S r Edward Ayscvgh knight, who died on y e fowrth | day of Febrvarie in the yeare of ovr | Lord God 1610. Katherine his wife was | one of the davghters of William | Hennage of Hainton Esqvier. 2 and 3. In the middle of the stone, two small brass plates ; one of two daughters with scrolls "Katherine" and "Hester" above them, and the other of two infants, with scrolls " rWillia]m " and ' ' [Willia]m " above them. 4. At the foot of the stone, part of the figure of a lady in brass (Katherine, wife of Wm. Ayscogh, and dau. of Wm. Heneage of Hainton). The upper part, down to the waist, torn off and lying about loose, but Mr. Lowe, the Vicar, promised me this also should be fixed in its place (Feb., 1888). Her feet are on a greyhound, the Heneage crest. The upper part, lying loose, exactly fitted to the rest. Query whether the brass of her husband (which would be on her right hand) is lost or only covered up ? 284 Notes on the Visitation of Lincolnshire 1634.

Ellis, Esq., for the following notes, supplementary to those on page 269 : — This was a Norman family which came over with the Conqueror, and retained their estates intact for 200 years; but no pedigree has ever been attempted. "Blancard" held half a carucate each in Laughton, Audleby, and Nettleton, of Roger the Poictevin count, 1086: {Domesday Book}) The next is Richard Blaunchard, living 1177. {Pipe Roll, 23 H. II., Line.) Guy de Ver held land of him in Osgodby in Kingerby, co. Line, which he gave to Selby Abbey. (Mr. Brooke's Concher Book.) He witnessed two charters of Roger de Montebegon. (Mon. Angl.) William Blaunchard, heir of Richard, confirmed to Selby Abbey the gift of Guy de Ver. He was in arms with Earl John while King Richard was in the Holy Land, and forfeited his lands. He was dead 1 194-5, when Matilda his widow fined with King Richard to have her dower in these lands. William Blaunchard regained the lands, viz., three knight's fees, a half in Laughton and a half in Nettleton and Clixby, held of the honor of Lancaster. {Testa de Nevill.) The priory of Sixhill claimed against him to present to a mediety of Nettleton Rectory, time of King John. {Abbr. Placitot 3 . 75.) A Richard Blaunchard of Nettleton, contemporary, gave land there to the convent of Newhus {Harl. Charter, 46 E. 17); and a John Blanchard of Burg gave land there to Bulington priory with consent of Isabel his wife (46 E. 16) ; his seal, a dove close, "Sigill' Johannis Blancart." John was father of Gilbert, and had a sister Sara, wife of Robert fitz Ralph of Orreby. About this time a Thomas Blanchard and Roger his brother witness a charter of William Malet giving lands in Nettleton to Newhus. {Harl. MS., 2044.) A Romphare Blanchard occurs. All near relatives doubtless. 286 Notes on the Visitation of Lincolnshire 1634. William Blanchard of Langton married Alicia or Ascilia, d. of William de Waterton of Waterton in the Isle of Axholme (Plumpton Cartulary), and had with her lands there. She returned these to her brother, Richard de Waterton, in her widowhood. They had issue — William Blaunchard of Laughton, who was dead without issue before 1 280, and Matilda his sister and heir, widow of John de Allazun, was then wife of Ralph de Carrum. John de Allazun or Dallison, her son, succeeded to Laughton, Nettleton, and Clixby, and was the ancestor of that family, greatly advanced by this match. (See Mr. Boyd's notes in Misc. Gen. et Her., 2nd series, vol. iii.) I suspect the arms of the Dallisons were those originally of Blanchard. But the family was not extinct, though the estates had passed away from them. John Blanchard of Clissby, chaplain, inst. to church of Knaresdale in the lordship of Wark, 1339 {Reg. Ep. Durh., iii. 234), possibly the rector of Hawkswell, in Richmondshire, who resigned 1380. Robert, son of Alexander Blaunchard of Laghton, enfeoffed Thomas Darnall in his lands in Laughton in Lyndesee, and these were released by Joan daughter of John Blaunchard of Laghton to the same in 1382. The original deed in the Record Office (B. 1907) has her seal, with a shield, but what it bore cannot now be made out. A vigorous branch of this family seems to have crossed the Humber and settled along the Derwent, all probably descended from Adam Blanchard of North Duffield, 1379. There are many — 30 or more — of their wills proved at York in Tudor times, 4 Inq. p.m., &c. Line. Inq. p.m. 13 Jac. John Blanchard. 6 Car. Martin Blanshard. 1561.
