    1401 GEN_Medieval List:

    ELIZABETH CAREW. Born in or shortly after 1398; died 25 Sep 1410 and was buried in Beddington Church. Her now lost monumental brass referred to her as 'Elizabetha filia Nicholai et Mariae' the latter name which should read 'Merciae' and wife of 'Thomae Lewknore.' Sir Thomas Lewkenor was one of the supervisors of the will of her father. Based upon her likely birthdate she was clearly a childbride and no issue was likely.


    Hello again Doug,

    You have the advantage on me with regard to the Lewkenor (Lewknor) family of whom I know little, but will check out the Sussex Visitation on my next trip to the library.
    However, the chronology as set forth in your posting does not fit. The monumental inscription for Elizabeth Lewkenor is now lost, but the inscription is noted in A List of Monumental Brasses in Surrey, by J. M. Blatchly, 1921, p. 40, which notes the inscription can be found in Lansdowne MS. 874, fol. 30, and reads:

    "Hic iacet Elizabetha filia Nicholas et Mariae uxoris eius quondam uxor Thomae Lewknore quae obiit 25 die Septemb' in festo Sci Firmini Ao Dni 1410."

    The compiler inserts a footnote that applies to the name Mariae and comments it is an error for Merciae.

    Since Elizabeth was the child of Nicholas Carew's second wife, Mercy Hayme, and he did not marry her until about July 1398, she could not be the wife of Roger Lewknor who died in 1400 and the mother of Thomas Lewknor who was born c1392 and whom you state to possibly be the grandson of Nicholas Carew. The monumental inscription is not noted as having been defaced or illegible prior to being transcribed in comparison with others where the missing inscriptions are so noted, such as with that of Nicholas's son Thomas. The inscription clearly states Elizabeth was the wife (uxor) of Thomas Lewknore and not his mother (mater). With Elizabeth being born in say 1398 or 1399, she could not have been the mother of a child prior to her death in 1410, or possibly just so, if she was very very mature for her age and her death may have been precipitated by childbirth. But that's stretching it.
    Ronny Bodine

    Are you sure we arn't talking about two different matches?
    Thomas Lewknor and Elizabeth Carew (da. of John of Fulford); and Roger Lewknor and Elizabeth Carew (da. of Nicholas Carew)

    There are many conflicting sources and the three possibilities which
    have emerged place her differently:

    1) Elizabeth as daughter of Nicholas Carew and Isabel Delamere, as you suggest and have correctly cited from _The Carews of Beddington_ which I also have.

    I believe this is incorrect as Nicholas, son of Nicholas and Alice (not Isabel apparently) Delamare, is shown with an only son, another Nicholas, by his first wife, but eight sons and eight daughters by his second wife Marcia Hayme (HOP [1386} II:433-4]. Of the 16 children of the second marriage, I believe there was only one who reached maturity.

    2) Elizabeth as daughter of Nicholas Carew and Marcia Hayme. Some sources place her here, but again I think she belongs to an earlier generation.

    3) Elizabeth as daughter of Nicholas Carew and Lucy Willoughby and sister of the Nicholas of the two marriages to Delamare and Hayme. I believe this is where she belongs. So far my only confirmation is Gary Boyd Roberts RD500, p. 431 which gives this placement, so the search for further documentation continues.

    The Sussex Archaeological Collections Vol III p 92 has the parents of Sir Thomas Leknor (who m Philippa Dalyngrudge) as Sir Roger Leknor (Knight of the Shire 4th Hen IV (1404), ob 10 Edw IV., Inq p m 13 Edw IV) by Elizabeth _da of Sir John Carew, of Fulford_.

    This work is based partly on the visitation of 1634 as reproduced in Harl.MS., No 1562, and adds that the Visitation in Harl. MS No 1406 is a hasty and bad copy of that visitation.

    Accounts left by John Chamberlayne, a landowner at Maugersbury, reveal in painful detail what it cost him to entertain - involuntarily - armies from either side. When Prince Rupert faced Lord Essex on his land in the summer of 1643, he had 'corn upon the ground' trampled and spoiled to the value of at least pounds 40 - perhaps pounds 4,000 in today's terms. Forced to quarter 30 officers, 40 horses and 120 foot soldiers of Sir William Waller's army for five days, Chamberlayne spent another pounds 27 10s. Besides these direct costs, he lost 17 plough horses, and paid large sums 'to stave off quartering' and 'to avoid charges incident to war'

    Will of Nicholas Saunder of Ewell, Surrey 18 January 1588 PROB 11/72
    Nicholas Saunder died in 1587 leaving a will that named Sir Francis Carew as one of its supervisors. The main beneficiary was his eldest son, also called Nicholas, but amongst the pecuniary legacies was a sum of 400 marks payable to the youngest daughter, Jane, who married Luke Ward in March 1589/90. On 26 June 1593 at St Olave, Hart Street, London, however, a widowed Jane Ward(e) took as her second husband Alexander Clifford (Clefforde) of Bobbing Court, Kent.
    Clifford may be found in command of 40 men on the 60 ton 'Moon', in a volunteer squadron, among the Queen's ships sent out to counter the Spanish Armada during July 1588.
    In 1595, Clifford and his wife, Jane, were given real estate in Ewell by her brother Nicholas Saunder, junior.
    Captain Alexander Clifford took part on the Dreadnought as Rear-admiral in Effingham's squadron flying at the mizzen of his ship a striped ensign with St Goerge's cross as a canton. He had been "authorised to take into his charge the ships following, viz., Vanguard, Rainbow, Alcedo, Centaur, and Daisy, the ships assigned him by the Admiral of the Low Countries, and the two Generals' bigger hoys. With all these to bear along the shore, as soon as the fleet comes thwart Rota, and come to an anchor as near the mouth of St. Mary Port as convenient. If he finds the galleys within the port he shall endeavour to keep them from coming forth. If he finds them at sea or in the Bay of Calez [Cadiz], shall do his best to chase them into St. Mary Port, or at least to keep them from troubling the disembarking of the army, or from attempting anything upon any part of the fleet. If he finds no galleys in St. Mary Port and sees none at sea, shall come to an anchor with the said ships north of that part of the fleet where the Due Repulse is admiral, to be ready to cover the weakest ships from any galleys that may come into the bay of Calez". He was one of many knighted for his valour at Cadiz in June 1596.
    In 1600, Sir Alexander Clifford is reported to have been in charge of 150 foot soldiers fighting the rebellion in Munster [Part of the 'Nine Years' War' (In Irish: Cogadh na Naoi mBliana) or Tyrone's Rebellion that took place in Ireland from 1594 to 1603].
    He was granted a pension by Signet Bill from November 1604.
    The Cliffords gave up the Ewell property in 1616 and Alexander died five years later to be buried at Bobbing, Kent, 24 May 1621 (Will proved 1622).

    The abbey was dissolved 16 January 1540. (fn. 80) The manor in Battersea ... was transferred by his trustees to Oliver St. John, Viscount Grandison, lord deputy governor of Ireland from 1616 to 1622. (fn. 83) He had already acquired a lease of the site of the manor through his marriage with Joan widow of Sir William Holcroft and daughter of Henry Roydon. (fn. 84) This lease descended to Joan from her grandfather Henry Roydon. He had been succeeded about 1538 by his son Henry, whose lease was renewed by the Crown in March 1540/1. (fn. 85) Henry's widow Elizabeth had the site at farm in 1582, (fn. 86) but in that year a thirty-one years' lease was obtained by Sir Gilbert Gerard and Sir John Sotherton, (fn. 87) who were perhaps trustees for Elizabeth. In 1592 Elizabeth Roydon and her daughter Joan Holcroft, then a widow and afterwards wife of Oliver Viscount Grandison, obtained a new lease to run from 1613 to 1634, (fn. 88) and a reversionary lease was granted to Aaron Best. (fn. 89) In 1627 Viscount Grandison obtained a grant of the site in perpetuity to hold by service of a knight's fee. (fn. 90) He spent much of his time at the manorhouse, especially during his ill-health in 1625-29. (fn. 91) He died there 30 December 1630; his widow died in the following spring, and was buried at Battersea. (fn. 92)
    The manor descended to Viscount Grandison's nephew Sir John St. John, bart., an ardent Royalist, who was buried there with great pomp in 1648. (fn. 93) His heir, Sir John St. John, bart., died unmarried in 1657, and was succeeded by his uncle, Sir Walter St. John, bart., who also lived at the manor-house. In 1700 he entailed the estate on his son Henry and the latter's eldest son Henry St. John, the famous Tory statesman, created Viscount Bolingbroke in 1712. (fn. 94) The elder Henry succeeded his father in 1708, and in 1716 was created Baron St. John of Battersea and Viscount St. John. (fn. 95)... (fn.

    Will of Thomas Pierce, Doctor in Divinity and Dean of North Tidworth, Wiltshire 05 October 1691 PROB 11/406

    Is this Thomas pierce the following??
    He was the son of John Pierce or Peirse, a woollen-draper and mayor of Devizes . He was appointed chorister of Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1633, while receiving an education in Magdalen College School under. William White, for whom in 1662 he obtained preferment. On 7 December 1638 he matriculated at the college, and in 1639 he became a demy . He graduated B.A. on 4 December 1641, and M. A. on 21 June 1644, noted as a poet and musician...On 4 May 1675 Pierce was admitted and installed as dean of Salisbury. He quarrelled with his chapter, and its members appealed to the archbishop..... his only surviving son, Robert Pierce, was denied a prebendal stall in the cathedral.
    The dean had purchased an estate in the parish of North Tidworth, a few miles north of Amesbury in Wiltshire. He died there on 28 March 1691, and was buried in the churchyard of Tidworth. At his funeral there was given to every mourner a copy of his book entitled 'Death considered as a Door to a Life of Glory [anon.] Printed for the Author's private use,' n.d. [1690 ?] His grave represented a small stone banquetting house; an inscription, made by himself a little before his death, was engraved on a brass plate fastened to the roof of the church. Pierce's wife Susanna died in June 1696, and was also buried in the churchyard of North Tidworth. Robert, his son, became rector of North Tidworth in 1680, and through the favour of Anne , then princess of Denmark, was appointed prebendary of Chardstock in Salisbury Cathedral in 1689. He retained both these preferments until his death in 1707.

    Will of Margaret Theloall or Thelwall, Widow of Plasward, Denbighshire 07 November 1586 PROB 11/69

    ...No documents are available to show what happened during the period between March, 1581, and January, 1583. Much may be conjectured, for a draft has recently come to light of articles of agreement dated at Berain on the fifth of January, 1583, for a double marriage. The parties are Thomas Salusbury of Llewenni (Katheryn's brother-in-law), and John Wynn of Gwydir (her step-son), of the one part, and Simon Thelwall of Plâs y Ward and his son and heir, Edward, of the other part. Katheryn was to become the wife of Edward Thelwall, and her daughter, Jane Wynn, the wife of his son and heir, Simon Thelwall, who was born in 1570 and was therefore twelve years of age; Jane Wynn was under ten years - another child marriage in fact. Jane Wynn was to receive a dowry of .£400 on her marriage with Simon, "or, if he die, with either of his brothers Herbert and William respectively ". Three generations of Thelwalls were living when this agreement was drawn up, Simon the elder, his son Edward, and his son Simon the younger. This arrangement recalls the very similar agreement for the Salusbury- Wynn alliance already described.
