    Who's Who of Tudor Women
    ANNE BACON (1573-November 1622)
    Anne Bacon was the daughter of Sir Nathaniel Bacon (c.1546-November 1622) and Anne Gresham (c.1549-1594). Raised as a puritan, Anne was sent at the age of eighteen to a puritan boarding school in Dickleborough, Norfolk and she remained there until she married John Townshend of Raynham (1567/8-August 2, 1590) in December 1593. Anne’s husband had an “aggressive and violent” nature, made worse by the fact that the young couple were obliged to live on the charity of their parents. John’s mother, Jane (née Stanhope) (c.1547-1618) held a life interest in the Thownshend estates, even after her remarriage in 1598 to Henry, Lord Berkeley. The death of Anne’'s mother and the possibility that her father would remarry and sire a son meant she might no longer inherit her father’s properties at Stiffkey, Langham, and Morston. This did not happen, but John died in debt, having sold off most of his land to his mother. Lady Berkeley also obtained the wardship of the heir, Anne’s oldest son, Roger (November 1595-January 1, 1637). Her other children were Anne and Stanhope (c.1597-c.1620). In around 1605, Anne was being courted by Sir George Southcote (d.c. 1638) but did not marry him. She was one of a number of puritan women who supported radical clergymen. The Bacon-Townshend Collection of letters written between 1550 and 1640 is at the Folger Shakespeare Library. Biography: Oxford DNB entry under “Townshend [née Bacon], Anne.”

    Name: William A Craig Death Date: 1857 Death Place: New South Wales Father's Name: William Mother's name: Isabelle Registration Year: 1857 Registration Place: Ipswich, New South Wales Registration number: 2971


    Moreton Bay Courier February 28th 1857.
    Ipswich February 25th.
    A most melancholy affair occurred here this morning. A young man named CRAIG the son of Mr. Craig blacksmith in Warwick, about 17 years of age, in the employment of Mr. Basilie, the blacksmith of this place, shot himself dead.
    The following as near as can be gathered, the particulars of the case, the young man, who was lodging at Mr. Maxwell?s, took up a gun, it is supposed, to clean it. He put the nipple of the gun in a lighted candle and the mussel in his mouth, and endeavored to blow down the barrel so as to put the candle out through the nipple.
    Unfortunately the gun happened to be loaded, went off, and shot him dead on the spot. The body awaits the usual magisterial inquiry. The affair was purely accidental.
    He was buried in Ipswich Cemetery New South Wales on the 25th February 1857
     
    Craig, William Akin (I01337)
     
    558 According to "Richmond Family Records", vol. 2, p. 108, William RICHMOND alias WEBB of Battersea and Lydiard Millicent (Wilts) was the son of Ambrose RICHMOND als. WEBB and his wife Emma daughter of George ESTCOURT, gent., of Tetbury.

    "By indenture dated 31 October 44 Eliz (1602) between William WEBB and John ESCOURTE of Tetbury and Edmund MASKELYNE of Pyrton (Purton, Wilts.) in consideration of a marriage to be had between Ambrose WEBB naturall son of the said William and Emma ESCOURTE one of the daughters of George ESCOURTE of Tetbury and of 100 marks, William WEBB granted to John and Edmund in trust meadow and pasture ground in Lyddiard Millicent (Lydiard Millicent, Wilts.) called the Hydes, of 20 acres and meadows or pasture ground called the Great or Further Lye, etc."


    She may have been a daughter of a George ESTCOURT who was a churchwarden of Tetbury in 1594 according to Lee's "History of Tetbury" (p. 292, col. 2, George ESTCOURTE).

    Johan ESTCORTE, of Westport, Wilts. widow is named in a Chancery Suit answer of 12 Feb. 1594/5 and appears in "Richmond Family Records", vol. 2, p. 55 as Johan ESTCORTE, a widow, who by an earlier marriage to John MOODY, of Westport (d. 4 Mar. 1549/50, IPM 6 Feb. 1550/1; see Visitation of Wilts., 1623, pp. 136-137, MOODIE de Westport pedigree) had a daughter Elizabeth who married Anthony RICHMOND alias WEBB of Manningford Bohim, Wilts. (who happens to have been Ambrose R als W's uncle).

    After the death of MOODY, Johan married an ESTCOURT (ESTCORTE) and was widowed again by 12 Feb. 1594/5, which makes it possible for her to have been the wife of George ESTCOURT churchwarden of Tetbury in 1594.

    In the ESCOURT pedigree in the Visitation of Glos., 1623, p. 57, a George ESTCOURT, no residence given, is said to have married "Joane daughter of ... STEEDE". Their issue is only shown as two sons: Edmond ESTCOURT who married Mary daughter of BERNARD and, perhaps significantly in regard to the marriage settlement, John ESTCOURT who married Grace daughter of LYGGON.

    The possibility is that Johan former wife of John MOODY or MOODIE, of Westport, Malmesbury, and later widow of one ESTCORTE, was identical with Joane STEEDE who married George ESTCOURT.


    The Glos. Vis. pedigree of ESTCOURT shows that this latter George ESTCOURT was the 3rd son of Edmond de la ESTCOURT and his wife Praxid [Praxed/Praxeda] daughter of William BUTTON of ... in com. Wilts.

    Terrier of 1783 records a sad postscript to the benefaction:

    564 According to Anne's pedigree her great-grandfather(unnamed) was a farmer at Knoyle Down Farm.

    Victoria County History of Wiltshire
    East Knoyle:
    "The downs in the northern part made East Knoyle one of the bishops most important sheep farms" dated 1377.
    By 1650 it had split into four main farms: the principle farmstead which was later caller Manor Farm, Frairs Hayes and Summerleaze Farms and in the north end of the parish, which had been for weathers and was later called Knoyle Down Farm. Later Sheephouse Farm was established on the down of Manor Farm. In 1782 Sheephouse Farm had 761 acres. Manor Farm had 170 acres including 88 of woodland. Knoyle Down 467 acres. After 1838 Sheephouse was split between Manor and Knoyle Down."
    The Manor of East Knoyle also referred to as Bishops Knoyle.
    The farm still exits and is one kilometre west of Chicklade or 2 km to the NW of Hindon.
    There is also a Knoyle Farm near Savernake Park between Marlborough and Hungerford.


    The first name of this man is not certain but if William Neate of Yatesbury is his son he is described as William jnr. on his marriage licence of 1687.

    If John Neate is another son the baptism of his son at Compton Bassett states the baptsim is for John, son of John, son of William.

    A few possibilities?

    577 According to Cahiers de Saint Louis page 917 they had a daughter Margaret who married Sir William Eure.
    No dates.

    Now I find the same Robert and Agnes had a daughter Margaret who about 1482 married Sir Ralph Bigod, of Settrington, 1457-1515.

    This Sir Ralph Bigod married (2) Alice and (3) Agnes Constable. I do not know who the parents are for this Agnes Constable but as a widow in 1516 she married Sir Ralph Eure, son of Sir William Eure and Margaret Constable, aforementioned.

    Somehow I wonder what is going on, does Cahiers de Saint Louis have it wrong? Did Sir Robert Constable and Agnes Wentworth have two daughters called Margaret?

    Leo:

    I think the confusion arises because Sir Robert Constable of
    Flamborough and his wife Agnes Wentworth appear to have had daughters
    named Margaret and Margery (at least per Clay's edition of Dugdale's
    1664-5 visitation of Yorkshire), and the names of the two seem to
    often be confused. According to Dugdale Margaret m. Sir William Eure
    and Margery m. Sir Ralph Bigod.

    Sir Ralph Bigod's last wife seems to be usually called Agnes Constable of Dromonby. I don't know her parents are, although one recent compilation says her father's name was Robert. I've seen a pedigree in a different visitation of Yorkshire which says that the family of Constable of Dromonby descended from a son of a 2nd marriage of the Sir Robert Constable who mar. Agnes Wentworth, but the Dromonby pedigree doesn't show an Agnes, and Clay's edition of Dugdale doesn't show the supposed 2nd marrriage - or any family of Dromonby. All very confusing....

    Constable, Agnes (I08538)
     
    578 According to Charles P. Hampson in "The Book of the Radclyffes" (1940), the wife of Alexander Cressener was Alycia Radclyffe, the sister (or perhaps half-sister) of Sir John Radclyffe (d. 1461 at the battle of Towton). This Sir John was the grandfather of Sir Robert Radclyffe, created 1st earl of Sussex in 1529.
    Hampson (p. 44) has this to say about the Radclyffe/Cressener marriage:
    " Alycia Radclyffe, married Sir Alexander Cressenor [sic] of Alphamstone in Essex. Their son Thomas was one of those apprehended with Sir Robert radclyffe, his uncle, as partisans of Perkin warbeck, but he was pardoned. The Cressenors were an ancient family in Norfolk and Essex, who had ennobled their blood by marriage with the Mortimers of Attleburgh and the Ferrers.
    Sir Alexander was the eldest son of William Cressenor of Hawkendon and his wife Margaret, daughter of Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland, and widow of Richard, Lord Scrope of Bolton. Sir Alexander was Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk during the reign of Edward IV, at whose coronation he was made a Knight of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath. The Cressenors bore on their coat armour six horse shoes, the original arms of Ferrers."

    Alycia Radclyffe is called Celia in the Cressener pedigree in Berry's Essex Pedigrees, which is appended to the Harleian Society ediiton of the visitations of Essex (HSP 14).

    I say "sister or perhaps half-sister" because Hampson says she is daughter of Sir John Radclyffe, KG (d. 1440) and his wife Katherine Burnell. This couple is identified in CP 5:484-5 as the parents of the younger Sir John who d. at Towton. But Hampson says Katherine Burnell was the 2nd wife of the earlier Sir John and the younger Sir John was son of the 1st wife Cecilia, one of the three daughters of Sir Thomas Mortimer of Attleburgh by his wife Mary Parke and widow of Sir John Herling of East Herling, Norfolk. His mother Cecilia was also half-sister to "the great Sir John Falstolf" (of Shakespeare fame), through her mother's third marriage to John Fastolf of
    Caistor near Yarmouth (her third husband was cousin to her 2nd second husband).

    579 According to DNB a widow said to be the illegimate daughter of William Borlase. Not correct. Married as Anne Skeates in 1720. Seems to be from a Wiltshire family with earlier connections to the Richmond-Webbs

    Ballintemple Civil Parish, Tipperary County, IRELAND

    BALLINTEMPLE, a parish, in the barony of KILNEMANAGH, county of TIPPERARY, and province of Munster, 6 miles N.E. from Tipperary (town), on the road to Thurles; containing 786 inhabitants.
    It comprises about 3600 statute acres, principally under an improved system of tillage.
    Dundrum, the handsome seat of Viscount Hawarden, who is proprietor in fee of the barony, is beautifully situated in a fine demesne, comprising more than 2400 statute acres, of which nearly 800 are well planted; the grounds are tastefully laid out, and there is a profusion of fine old timber on the estate.
    ...The living is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Cashel, to which the rectories and vicarages of Rathlynan, Oughterleague, and Kilpatrick were united by act of council in 1795, forming the union of Ballintemple, in the patronage of the Bishop. The tithes of the parish amount to £240, and of the benefice to £726 9s. 2 ¾d. The church is a plain modern edifice, situated nearly in the centre of the union. There is a glebe-house, with a glebe of 20 acres. Here is a Roman Catholic chapel. Near Dundrum is a school for both sexes, supported by Viscount Hawarden, with a house and garden; and there is another school aided by private subscriptions, together affording instruction to about 220 children; also a dispensary.

Although some were completed as requested, many ministers provided only the details on Church of Ireland parishioners, and omitted Catholics, Presbyterians, etc. Others provided a complete survey of all local inhabitants, including family names and the numbers of children in the household.

    Research Notes: The Kiltinan CP Tithe Applotments were transcribed from the LDS film #0256653 by Pat Connors. The film was in fairly good condition but the handwriting was very old, plus the recorder couldn't spell some of the surnames. All recorded names are as spelled in the record. All together it was, at times, extremely hard to read correctly, therefore, all entries should be checked if you are trying to find connections to your family. This resource is an index, since there is more information for each entry in the source document. The Townlands and/or areas were also hard to read, and used old times spellings, so may not look familiar.

    Webb, Colonel Edmund Richmond als (I00177)
     
    584 According to the 1623 pedigree he married first Anne Luddington,
    and secondly " Margaretta fil . . . Parker de Wrotisley."
    Margaret Parker, however, was his second wife and Anne his third.
    This is proved conclusively by an agreement recorded in 1550
    between Sir John Port and " Thomas Lodge, and Margaret, his
    wife,"6 and still further by an indenture made September 16, 1549,
    between Thomas Lodge and Margaret Parker concerning their
    intended marriage.7 This indenture places the date of the marriage
    between September 16, 1549, and December 20, 1549, when Sarah
    Lodge, their firet child, was christened, and throws some light on
    what must have been to Sir Thomas a somewhat galling alliance.
    The indenture, made between Thomas Lodge, citizen and grocer of London, and Margaret Parker, " Syngelwoman and raayde of the
    saide Citie,"
    witnesses that the said Margaret Parker " of long tyme past" has well
    and truly served the said Thomas Lodge in his house " in the state of a
    mayden sarvant " and that the honesty, truth, fidelity, diligence and other
    good qualities," wherwith almightie god hathe endued the saide Margaret
    Parker," have by long trial and experience moved the said Thomas to
    take her as his wife- Wherunto the saide Margaret Parker most humble
    and thanckefully accordeth." But the said Thomas being possessed of
    manors, lands, tenements and good riches and the said Margaret
    considering herself to be a woman of no lands nor substance, and confessing
    her lowliness and bounden duty to the said Thomas, " she being in her
    pure 8ympleneB (fi maydenhed at lybertye francke and free from the
    boundes of espousage or mariage," agreed that if the said Thomas should
    die before her she would not claim any jointure other than what he should
    please to leave her. For which promise Thomas bound himself to make

    Sir Thomas seems to have taken thought for the future of her two daughter*
    while they were still at a very tender age, for in a series of indentures and bonds of
    1534-1558 between Thomas Lodge and Richard Hussey of " Abryght Hussey,
    co. Salop, Esq." Hussey sold to Lodge
    the custody and marriage of Edward Hussey, son and heir apparent of Richard
    Hussey aforesaid, committing to him the governance and tuition of Edward
    until his age of twenty-one . . . agreeing that Edward shall take to wife Sara
    Lodge . . . the said Edward and Sara consenting and if Sara die then Edward
    to marry Susan Lodge . . . and if Edward die then Richard's next son if any
    such be to marry as above.
    Hussey and Lodge entered into bonds of 1,000 marks to keep this indenture,
    but in June 1558 all agreements concerning the marriage were cancelled (P.R.O.,
    Close Rolls, 05^/508, C54/509 and C54/523).

    The remains of Bridget Nicholas wife of Edward Nicholas
    dau of Oliffe and Joan Richmond of Ashton Keynes in this Co.
    She died Jan 12, 1751/2 and her reward is with her
    For whe was distinguished in every relation of life.
    A dutiful daughter, a prudent wife and a tender paretn.
    Ever a sincere and pius member of the church of England
    Tho left a widow in the bloom of life.
    When youth and pleasure are two strong incentives.
    These she subjected to the interest of her only child.
    The culture of his mind and the improvement of his fortunes
    Engrossed her cares:
    Yet of such exemplary justice that
    Tho left in circumstances which would little more
    Than supply the decent accomodations of life
    She generously gave up the greater part of her income
    To discharge family debts she had no share in contracting
    Disclaiming to be exposed to the piercing taunts
    Of undischarged creditors;
    Nobly rescuing from infamy suceeding generations,
    And preferring fair fame and virtue, the flower of honor,
    To the vain glare and false charms of wealth and luxury,
    Thus provident without parsimony,
    Charitable without ostentatin
    Cheerful without levity
    And hospitable with economy
    She united those graces, which rendered her esteemed by all.
    It were injury to the public
    To deprive it of so fair an example,
    An injury to her memory
    Not to givbe this just character of her;
    And not to attempt it unpardonable in him,
    Who has derived such inestimable benefits from it
    Her only surviving son E.R. Nicholas
    As a sincere testimony of the regard and esteem,
    He beare to the memory of his honored parent.
    Underneath her lie interred her two other children
    John and Jane who died in their infancy.
