"Shortly afterwards, this will was given,
either by the Norman grantee, or by his grandson
(who appears to have succeeded him), to Orme, the
ancestor of the DAVENPORTs, who [acquired by the
custom of the times rather than] assumed, the
local name, as is proved by his attestation to
the curious charter subjoined.1
The date assigned to Orme de DAVENPORT by four
pedigrees in the British Museum, and by the
BRAMALL pedigree, is 20 Will. I; and it will
appear from a consideration of subsequent deeds,
that the fact of his being then living is not
irreconcileable with calculations founded upon
them."

The charter given above, in which the name of Orme de
DAVENPORT appears as witness, enfranchised Gilbert de
VENABLES. It was written either during the reign of
William II (William Rufus: reigned 26 September 1087 - 2
August 1100) or under that of Henry I (Henry Beauclerc:
reigned .5 August 1100 - 1 December 1135).

County Palatine and City of Chester, incorporated with a
republication of King's Vale Royal and Leycester's

"II. Richard, son of Orme de
DAVENPORT, married Amabilia, daughter of the
second Gilbert VENABLES, and sister also of Hugh
VENABLES, rector of Eccleston, Astbury, and
Rosthorne, in 1188, whose acknowledged minority
gives the only means of calculating the time of
Orme de DAVENPORT.1
Richard DAVENPORT had Marton in frank marriage
with his wife by the charter subjoined,2
and to him must be referred the grant of the
master forestership of the forests of Leek and
Macclesfield, by Hugh Kevelioc, Earl of Chester.
The Davenport pedigrees have stated the grant to
be made to his grandson of the same name; but the
identity of the grantee of this forestership, and
of the husband of Amabilia VENABLES, is fully
established by the time of witness to the charter
subjoined, compared with that in which Amabilia's
brothers are known to have existed.3

1.
calculating the time of Orme de DAVENPORT:
"See the grant of these churches in
Bucklow Hundred, vol. I, p. 337, [now
429,] under Rosthorne. Amabilia had many
brothers, and she might not only be much
older than Hugh, but even than William,
the grantor of Marton. Supposing her
fifteen years older than Hugh, and that
he was eighteen in 1188, she would be
born in 1155. If she was married at 21,
and her husband was forty, a disparity by
no means unusual, the marriage woulod
take place in 1176; and this assumption
will make her husband thirty at the time
the master forestership was granted to
him, if we take the exact middle time of
the earldom of Hugh Kevelioc the grantor
(the most probable time for a general
conjecture) and place the grant in 1166. "If
the probability of these conjectures is
allowed, Richard would be born in 1136;
and if this is allowed, the date 20 Will.
I, assigned to Orme de DAVENPORT, is not
irreconcileable with the time in which he
might be living, as his birth in that
year would make him fifty years old in
1136, the date which has been established
as possible, and not improbable, for the
birth of his son Richard.
"There is also reason to think
that the marriage of Richard DAVENPORT
must have been as early in the 12th
century as this, if not earlier, from his
great grandson Vivian having the grant of
the chief serjeancy of Macclesfield in
the time of Philip de Orreby, 10 Joh. -
13 Hen. III.

it proves the Gilbert here

Amabilia's brothers are known to have
existed:

"It is observable that several of
the witnesses to this charter, including
Richard the Earl's uncle, witness Hugh
Kevelioc's grant of a forestership in
Mara and Mondrem to Robert Grosvenor,
Edis. Hund. p. 116, [now 211].
On the authority of Brooke, as reprinted
by Vincent, this charter has been stated
to be executed on or before 1160, in
which year the said Richard died. It
appears, however, on a close
re-examination of the passage referred
to, that Brooke's date may include the
said Richard and Hamon his brother,
or Hamon only. The time, however, is
fixed within a few years, whatever
Brooke's own reading of the passage may
have been. Robert de Stafford, another of
the witnesses, is mentioned in the body
of a deed by Randle II to which Sir Peter
Leycester gives the dtae of 1152. Bertram
Camerarius another witnesses, was sheriff
31 Hen. II."
|
|
Note 2: Amabilia de VENABLES, the
wife of Richard de DAVENPORT of DAVENPORT, was the sister
of Hugh de VENABLES who was rector of Eccleston in 1188.
The acknowledged minority of Hugh de VENABLES furnishes
the means by which to estimate the time of Richard
DAVENPORT. Between 1153 and 1181, Richard de DAVENPORT
was supreme forester of the Earl of Chester's forests of
Leek and Macclesfield.
Note 3: George Ormerod, as revised by
Thomas Helsby, asserts that one Thomas DAVENPORT, alive
at the time of Henry II, was successor to Richard
DAVENPORT and that Thomas DAVENPORT was the father of
another Richard DAVENPORT who was succeeded by Vivian
DAVENPORT. Though it is evident that Vivian DAVENPORT was
indeed successor to a Richard DAVENPORT, there is no
proof that Thomas DAVENPORT succeeded Richard DAVENPORT
to the lordship of Davenport. Accordingly, in the absence
of any argument, Ormerod's assertion is here rejected.
The second Richard DAVENPORT, as Ormerod had posited, is
understood to be the same as the first. See George
Ormerod, The History of the County Palatine and City
of Chester, incorporated with a republication of King's
Vale Royal and Leycester's Cheshire Antiquities (2nd
ed., revised and enlarged by Thomas Helsby, Esq.: George
Routledge and Sons, Ludgate Hill, London, 1882), vol. 3,
pp. 61, 62, and 68.
Note 4: About the person whom George
Ormerod took to be the second Richard DAVENPORT and who
is regarded here as the first, see George Ormerod, The
History of the County Palatine and City of Chester,
incorporated with a republication of King's Vale Royal
and Leycester's Cheshire Antiquities (2nd ed.,
revised and enlarged by Thomas Helsby, Esq.: George
Routledge and Sons, Ludgate Hill, London, 1882), vol. 3,

with a republication of King's Vale Royal and Leycester's
Cheshire Antiquities (2nd ed., revised and enlarged
by Thomas Helsby, Esq.: George Routledge and Sons,
Ludgate Hill, London, 1882), vol. 3, pp. 62 - 63:

"Vivian de DAVENPORT, son of
Richard, had a grant of the magisterial serjeancy
of the hundred of Macclesfield from Randle
Blundeville, Earl of Chester, by the charter
annexed, made during the justiceship of Phillip
de Orreby,1
and abbacy of Hugh Grylle; (10 Joh. - 10 Hen.
III). By an original Inq. (of which an
abstract is subjoined in the note below),2
it appears that the grant was made to Vivian
DAVENPORT against his will, as a
compensation for the park and vivaries of
Macclesfield, of which the Earl had deprived him,
and the value of the office had been lessened by
certain exemptions from its jurisdiction, granted
by the Earl (also against the will of Vivian) to
several land proprietors within its former range.
It appears also from the charter itself, that
Adam de Sutton had previously held the office,
and it is not improbable, that the Earl had
obtained the means of making this inadequate
compensation to Vivian DAVENPORT, by a violent
dispossession of the former serjeant. "The
powers of this office were the highest which the
Earl could bestow, as it placed in several casesw
at the disposal of the serjeant and his itinerant
subservients, the lives of his subjects, without
delay and without appeal. In the former parts of
this work are noticed analagous powers held by
the Kingsleys and Dones in the forests of Mara
and Mondrem, the Storetons and Stanleys in
Wirral, and the representatives of the Barons of
Malpas in all Cheshire, except the hundreds of
Wirral and Macclesfield. The particulars
immediately relating to this serjeancy are too
intimately connected with the genealogical
deductions of the DAVENPORTs of DAVENPORT, to be
brought into point of view without useless
repetition, but will be found among the
subsequent extracts from deeds and inquisitions
illustrative of the descent of the family.
"At this period, the allusive crest of
the DAVENPORTs is first said to have been
adopted, and to have been borne on the helmets of
the master serjeants in their perambulations
through the Peak hils, and the forests of Leek
and Macclesfield, to the terror of the numerous
gangs of banditti which then infested those wild
districts. There is now in the possession of the
Capesthorne family a long roll (without date,
buyt very antient), containing the names of the
master robbers who were taken and beheaded in the
times of Vivian, Roger, and Thomas de DAVENPORT,
and also of their companions, and of the fees
paid to them in right of their serjeancy. From
this it appears, that the fee for a master robber
was 2s. and one salmon, and for his companions
12d. each. There is also an account of the
several master robbers and their companions who
were slain by the serjeants, with the fees
thereon.3
"[Vivian de DAVENPORD occurs at
a later date, as witness to a charter of Robert
Pygot, temp. Richard de Wibinburi,
sheriff of Cheshire (in and after 18 Hen. II)]
"From Robert de DAVENPORT, younger son of
Vivian, [it is believed] descend the LAWTONS of
LAWTON, who still retain the paternal coat of
DAVENPORT, with the substitution of a fesse for
the chevron."

serjeanty belonging, which he used to
take through the whole hundred of
Maklesfelde, except the vill of Mottram
in Longdendale, and the land of Richard
Fiton in the vilole of Bolyn. But Earl
John, nephew of the said Earl Randle, by
his deed, against the will of Vivian,
quitclaimed to the said Richard Fiton his
said puture, and also quitclaimed, against
Vivian's will, on the land of
Richard de Mottram, where Vivian used to
have puture, and in all the land of the
said Earl Randle of Lechernel, with all
appurtenances, and in the moiety of the
ville of Rowbelt, and in the ville of
Wicheshall, and in six houses in Derelton
of the fee of the said Earl, and of the
fee of the Earl, and of the fee of the
Earl in Rossington, and in the ville of
Waterfull and in Tatton of the fee of the
Earl, and in the fee of the Earl in
Alstanesfield, and in all the ville of
Yppeltinif. Also he, Vivian, received in
the separate time of the said
Earls Randle and John, 24 shillings from
the exchequer of the said Earls at
Chester at two terms, viz. at
the nativity of our Lord 12 shillings:
and all the aforesaid serjeanty, with all
the aforesaid puture, in all the places
aforesaid as the aforesaid Earl Randle
inchartered him, for the exchange of the park
and vivaries of Macclesfield,
otherwise called Wilwich."
3.
with the fees thereon:
"Communicated by the Rev. Walter
Davenport. On the roll is a note by the
first Davies Davenport, of Woodford, esq.
'the numbers are great and though the
roll is very ancient and much defaced,
yet several of the names appear.' The
roll is now nearly illegible but some
names may be discerned.' [It is scarcely
probable that the present form of Crest
was adopted quite so early. The tradition
of its use in the forest, &c. seems
somewhat fanciful, though it cannot be
denied that armour would almost be as
necessary in such contests as in those
with more regular forces - H."

|
Vivian DAVENPORT of DAVENPORT is likely to have been
born previous to 1190. He was living at the time of John
and 18 Hen. 3. and was certainly alive previous to 1205.
He is known to have been flourishing in 1254 and to have
died in 1260. To Richard DAVENPORT of DAVENPORT, he was
successor as the Lord of Davenport and Marton in County
Cheshire, England. Randle Blunderville, the Earl of

[lord] of DAVENPORT, knight, son and heir of
Roger, married, first, Agnes, daughter of Thomas
de MACCLESFIELD (the mother of his issue), and
secondly, Roesia, daughter of Ralph de VERNON,
widow of Sir William de BRERETON, who was living
after her second husband's death, in 14 Edw. II.
This Thomas de DAVENPORT occurs as demanding
puture (in his capacity of grand serjeant) from
two tenements in Butley, which the abbot of
Chester held of the gift of Edw. Pigot. The claim
was resisted, and decision made against the
serjeant on reference.1
In 1303, by deed dated at Davenport, this Thomas
acknowledges the receipt of four marks, in part
of 8 marks due at the Feast of St. Barnabas, for
the serjeancy: and in 1309 he grants a lease of
the same office for two years to his son Thomas
DAVENPORT, and his pledges for two years, at the
annual rent of 16 marks of silver.2 "This
Thomas, second son of Sir Thomas DAVENPORT, was

"Sir John de DAVENPORT,
[lord] of DAVENPORT, knight, eldest son and heir
of Sir Thomas, married his father's step-daughter
Margery, daughter of Sir William BRERETON, by
Roesia VERNON before-mentioned; to his second
wife he had Agnes de BRADFORD. The first of these
marriages took place in 1301, when "Thomas
son of Roger de DAVENPORT "grants to Sir
William de BRERETON, knight, the marriage of his
eldest son John (to marry him to Margery,
daughter of the said William) for 60 marks.
Witnesses, Hugh Massey, Ralph VERNON, Hugh de
VENABLES, knights, &c.; dated at Brereton.1
Four years after this, a sentence was procured
from the court of Chester, declaring the marriage
null, having been celebrated against the consent
of the parties, both being under age.2
The pedigrees, however, make Margery BRERETON,
the mother of Sir John DAVENPORT's numerous
issue, which must of course suppose the parties
to have been re-united; and this idea is in some
degree confirmed by a settlement, 12 Edw. II,
when Thomas de DAVENPORT obtained from Richard,
chaplain, of Prestbury, the manors of DAVENPORT
and MARTON, remainder to John his son and
Margery his wife; remainder to the right
heirs of Thomas.3 "The
issue of Sir John were numerous, 1. Thomas, [who
enrolled the Inspex. of the Earl's grant of
exemption, to Richard de DAVENPORT, and occurs as
living 27 and 31 Edw. III but ob.] s.
p.; 2. Sir Ralph, the continuer of the
direct male line; 3. Richard; 4. Roger; 5. Urian;
6. Arthur, ancestor of the DAVENPORTs of
CALVELEY. To these may be added another son, John
DAVENPORT, who in the excellent pedigree of the
DAVENPORTs, drawn from original evidences, and
preserved in Harl. MSS 2119, is made second son
and heir of Sir John DAVENPORT, and who would
consequently intervene between Thomas and Ralph.
This John is said to marry first, Johanna DELVES;
and secondly, Margaret, who, from the DONE
pedigree appears to be daughter of Henry DONE,
and is, most probably, the same person with
Margery DONE, given erroneously by Dugdale to
Ralph DAVENPORT. From the silence of the family
deeds, it may, however, be doubted, whether this
John was ever in possession of DAVENPORT, and
whether he was a younger son of Sir John
DAVENPORT, or of a collateral line of the family.4
"Sir John DAVENPORT founded a chantry in
the chapel of Marton,+
at which place the figures of himself and his son
Urian are supposed to be represented by the armed
figures yet remaining.5
[In 15 Edw. III, Sir John, or his son John de
DAVENPORD, occurs with others in a
recognizance in £100, to Richard de Oklegh,
parson of Astebury; and Sir John also occurs as
living as late as 21 Edw. III.]"

"Sir William BRERETON of
BRERETON, ward of Sir Richard SONBACH (SANDBACH),
who had grant of the wardship of said William
from William de VENABLES, Baron of Kinderton, to
marry him or his younger brother, Gilbert
BRERETON, if William died under age, to one of
the legitimate daughters of Richard SANDBACH.
Such were the precious servitudes of our
ancestors; and great must have been the docility
and tractability of the adults (and it is a
remarkable trait in feudal manners) in submitting
their inclinations in the serious article of
marriage to the inscrutable wisdom of their
seniors. Accordingly we find the heir of
BRERETON, William, was (nolens volens)
married to the daughter of Richard SANDBACH. The
manor of Sandbach is given in Domesday among the
possessions of the Bigot-Bigod family, whose
manors subsequently formed the fee of Aldford, of
which Sandbach was a dependency. A family was
certainly settled here in the reign of King John,
who held Sandbach from Aldford fee, and had
assumed the local name. Near the manor house of
Sandbach is the market place containing the
Crosses of Sandbach, which may indisputably be
ranked among the finest monuments of antiquity,
of the kind, now existing in the kingdom. They
are supposed to have been erected shortly after
the introduction of Christianity on the places
where it was first preached. The present height
of the Greater Cross is 16 ft. 8 in." |

"IV. Sir John de HYDE, who
is confounded with his father by Ormerod, was in
possession in 1342, knighted before 1348, served
in the wars of the period, and occurs in a recog.
24, 25 Edw. III by Robert de Legh to the Earl,
that the 71 archers led by Sir John de HYDE, kt.
in the king's war, should not claim a certain
reward granted by the lord prince. 28 Edw. III.
Sir John was next remainderman in fee in another
settlement of the Baggaley moiety of Hyde
Itherein called "the manor"), made by
John, son of William de Baggilegh, to whom it was
limited in tail, by his feoffee Sir John de Legh;
and John Baggaley, or Baggilegh, died issueless
in 1356. But in 31 Edw. III Sir John HYDE settles
Norbury, and by name, only a moiety of Hyde, and
the manor of Halghton (co. Lanc.) upon his
children hereafter mentioned. [See further,
Godley.] "To his first wife he married
Margaret [or qy. Margery], daughter of Sir John
[or rather Thomas?] DAVENPORT, [of Whetrogh?] by
whom he had [the issue mentioned in the pedigree,
and not] 1. John, and 2. Roger, [the 1st
being apparently identical with Sir John himself,
and] mentioned in settlements of the manor of
Norbury and half of Hyde, 12 Edw. II and 31 Edw.
III as issue of this marriage, who appears to
have died without issue. He had [certainly issue
the above Roger;] also issue William, mentioned
in the last settlement (but not as a son of
Margaret) who appears to have been issue by the
second marriage [, but only appears so;
for there can be little doubt that the whole of
the children (except Thomas) were of one mother];
Ralph, ancestor of Hyde of Urmeston, co. Lanc.;
John (according to Dugdale, who omits the first
two); and according to a pedigree, apparently
drawn from deeds (Harl. MSS, 2161), had also
issue Hugh, Thomas and Robert, the last of which
was of Halghton, 51 Edw. III, and married to
[Margaret, or] Elizabeth, daughter of Robert
STAVELEY. [By the HYDE MSS (Harl. 2112), he had
also a daughter, Margery, who was included in the
entail; but all these MSS and pedigrees differ so
much (the HYDE MSS, for example, not giving
either of the Johns), that it is preferable to
follow the HYDE MSS. The Robert, said to have
been of Halghton, was so most probably, till he
became heir to his elder brother; at all events,
through this Robert the descent must be traced.]

arrest and array, January 24, 1403-04, for this
Hundred (Macclesfield), which had been disquieted
by false rumours, probably as to Owen Glendower,
and the Welsh rebels. He next occurs in the
account of Tiverton, 11. 12 Hen. IV in a recog.
by Mathew del Mere, when the said Robert also
entered into a similar recog. in £40 to John de
HYNKELEY, to fulfil the covenants of a deed
between him and HYNKELEY, (who was 2nd husband of
his mother's mother, Margery de WETENHALE),
touching a moiety of the lands held by HYNKELEY,
by the courtesy of England, and which were of the
inheritance of Alice, mother of this Robert, and
of Elen, wife of the said Mathew del Mere. (Rec.
Ro.) He also occurs in several feuds between 1429
and 1432. By Inq. p. m. 11, 12 Hen. VI,
Margery de WETENHALE died, seized in fee of an
18th part of Wich Malbank barony, and burgages,
salt-pits, lands, and rents therein, and in
Derfold, Haslynton, Sydenhale, Copynhale, and
Weston, (of the total. Val. of £16. 7s. 4d.);
and it was also found that the same Margery
married Geoffrey de BROMEHALE, and had issue Elen
and Alice; that the said Margery after the death
of the said Geoffrey, married John de HYNKELEY;
and had issue John, who died; that the said John
HYNKELEY, on the death of the said Margery,
entered upon the premises, and held the same by
the courtesy, with reversion to the said Elen (as
daughter and one of the heirs of the said
Margery), and Robert de DAVENPORT, son of Alice
(another of the daughters and heirs of the said
Margery); that the said John de HYNKELEY died on
the Feast of the Purification of S. Mary last
(1433); that the said Elen and Robert were next
heirs of the said Margery; that the said Elen was
60 (sic) years of age and more, and the
said Robert 40 (sic) years of age or
more; and that Kath. Ales, and Cecily were
daughters and next heirs of the said John de
HYNKELEY, and respectively aged 30, 26, and 23
years or more. (Rec. Ro. 11, 12 Hen. VI m. 4d.)
This is almost the only perfectly reliable
evidence of the descents referred to (there being
none among the Bramhall charters); and without it
there would have been very considerable doubt as
to the descent from the WETENHALEs of Geoffrey's
daughters, and also upon other points. The ages
of Elen and Robert, as given here, are seemingly
short of several years, and form the only
unsatisfactory part of the return.] "Inq.
p. m. 15 Hen VI. Robert de DAVENPORT held
messuages and lands, 23s. rent, and the render of
half a pound of pepper, and of half of two barbed
arrows in Sydenhall, Wich Malbank, Haslington,
Coule, and Whelocke, in joint feoffment with Joan
his wife (of the feoffment of Hugh de Toft,
chaplain) of the king as Earl of Chester in
capite, val. per ann. x marks; he also held
a xxth part of the barony of Wich Malbank, and
lands in Withington; and held in demesne as of
fee from Thomas de Stanley, Lord Stanley, and Sir
Robert Booth, and William Chauntrell, esq. as of
their barony [or literally, manor] of Dunham
Massey, the manor of Bromhale by the service of
one haubergeon fee [or, in other words, by the
service of a fee called hauberion fee. for all
services:] Val. XL marks. [Died on the Sunday
next after the Feast of S. Martin in Winter
last.] John de DAVENPORT, next of kin [or (with
greater propriety) cousin] and [next] heir, [viz.
son of Robert de DAVENPORT, son of the said
Robert, and was aged 18 at the Feast of the
Invention of the Holy Cross, last and was married
by (his said grandfather) Robert de DAVENPORT, to
Cicely, daughter of Laurence WARREN, knt.]"

Note 2: Joan ASHTON of
ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE, the wife of Robert DAVENPORT of
BROMHALL, was the daughter of Sir John ASHTON of
ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE (ABT 1340, Ashton-under-Lyne,

England) and Anne STANDISH (ABT 1345,
Standish-with-Langtree, Wigan, Lancashire, England - AFT
1376, Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, England).
Sir John ASHTON of ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE is
said to have been present, in 1370, at the siege of
Noylon during the Hundred Years' War. He was, in
1386, a member of the retinue of John of GAUNT in Spain.
In 1403, Sir John ASHTON of ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE
was commissioned by Henry IV to muster forces against the
Percys in their rebellion. He perished, in 1403, by
drowning in a well at Norham. [See Charles Mosley, ed., Burke's

"III. John de DAVENPORT,
esq. third Lord of Bromhale, had his writ de
etate May 11, 1440, under which proof was
taken,1
and his writ of livery was issued on 20 June
following. By Inq. p. m. 21 Hen. VI,
Joan, widow of his grandfather, Robert DAVENPORT,
died seized (as of her jointure) of two
messuages, and a half messuage, 93½ acres, 34s.
rent, a moiety of a rent of one pound of pepper,
and of two barbed arrows, in Sydenhale, Wich
Malbank, Haslynton, Coule, Copenhale, Greystowe,
and Whelock, which thereupon reverted to the said
John as kinsman and heir of his said grandfather.
He afterwards frequently occurs in the Recog.
Rolls, and in an enrolled writ of ouster le
main, 1443, Dec. 12, which sets forth the Inq.
p. m. 21 Hen. VI of Elen, widow of Mathew
del MERE, who died on the Thursday next before
the Feast of SS. Simon and Jude, 21 Hen. VI,
seized in fee of a moiety of 12d. rent, issuing
out of Werford milne, in Weston, and a moiety of
20d. rent in Weston, and which finds the said
John, son of Robert de DAVENPORT and Elen his
wife, kinsman and heir to the said Elen (MERE), viz.
son of Robert, son of Robert, son of Alice,
sister of the said Elen, and of the age of 23
years or more. This John also occurs in the same
rolls in a family feud with Isabel, wife of John
Wareyn; and in 1477 he and his brother Thomas,
Nicholas DAVENPORT, and Hugh his brother, were
all bound over in 200 marks to keep the peace
towards her. The year following he enters into a
similar recognizance - Isabel and William de
Tabley, clerk, being the recognizees. Several
other recogs. of a like kind also occur, one
being conditioned that he would appear at Chester
Castle. He next occurs in the Plea Rolls, 31 Hen.
VI, with Thomas de DAVENPORT of BROMEHALL,
gentilmon - the latter having aided, counselled,
and abetted divers felonies. He occurs in the
usual commissions of the age (the last in 1474),
and died Oct. 13, 1478.] "Inq. p. m.
18 Edw. IV. John DAVENPORT of BROMHALL esq. held

deposes to the said John having attained the age
of 21 years on the Feast of the Invention of the
Holy Cross last, which he knows because he was in
the church of Stokport and carried a lighted
torch at John's baptism. John Worth, aet.
45, says the same, because he carried a basin at
the baptism for the priest to wash his hands in.
Hugh FYTON, aet. 50, John de Sydynton, aet.

"IV. William DAVENPORT,
esq., son and heir by the last Inq.
occurs (with Sir John Savage, Robert LEGH of
ADLYNGTON, and other nobles of the Palatine), in
1481, as a commissioner for the arrest of outlaws
in this (Macclesfield) hundred; also in 1484, in
a commission of array, and in 1489 as collector
of a swubsidy. In 1493-4 (?) his house (or one of
his houses?) occurs among the list of those of
Sir William STANLEY and eight others which were
destroyed, and the timber carried off, by Randle
Hassall, for whose arrest a commission was
issued. He was one of the first feoffees of
Macclesfield School, in 1503-4. He may be traced
in several other commissions, and was exempted in
Sept. 1512 from serving on juries, &c. "Inq.

Note 1: The
construction of this family-group has been a topic of
controversy. George Ormerod, as emended by Thomas Helsby,
reports that the elder Robert HYDE of NORBURY and HYDE,
the father of this family-group, was first married to
Margaret (or perhaps Katherine) DUKENFIELD, the daughter
of John or Robert DUKENFIELD of DUKENFIELD, and that,
except perhaps for two unnamed daughters, he engendered
by her all of his children. Ormerod and Helsby report
that the elder Robert HYDE of NORBURY and HYDE was second
married to Jane DAVENPORT, the daughter of William
DAVENPORT of BROMHALL (BRAMHALL), by whom he possibly
engendered the two unnamed daughters. (Ormerod's and
Helsby's interpretation of the DUKINFIELD pedigree is
confused as to whether Margaret or Katherine DUKENFIELD
of DUKENFIELD, as wife to Robert HYDE, was the daughter
of John or Robert DUKINFIELD of DUKINFIELD; but Robert
Glover, in 1566, recorded Margaret DUKENFIELD of
DUKENFIELD as having been the wife of Robert HYDE and as
having been the daughter of Robert DUKENFIELD of
DUKENFIELD. [See The Visitation of Cheshire in
the Year 1580, Made by Robert Glover, Somerset
Herald, for William Flower, Norroy King of Arms, with
Numerous Additions and Continuations, Including Those
From the Visitation of Cheshire Made in the Year 1566, by
the Same Herald, with an Appendix, Containing the
Visitation of a Part of Cheshire in the Year 1533, Made
by William Fellows, Lancaster Herald, for Thomas Benolte,
Clarenceaux King of Arms, and a Fragment of the
Visitation of the City of Chester in the Year 1591, Made
by Thomas Chaloner, Deputy to the Office of Arms, edited
by John Paul Rylands, F. S. A. (London 1882), pp. 81 - 82]) Ormerod and Helsby also report that he was
third married to Unknown SNEDE of BRADWELL, fourth
married to Katherine CHOLMONDELEY of CHOLMONDELEY
(pronounced "chumly") [sister to Sir Hugh
CHOLMONDELEY of CHOLMONDELEY and the widow of Richard
PRESTLAND of WARDLEY], and fifth married to Unknown
SPURSTOWE of SPURSTOWE [the widow of John LEGH of
BOOTHES]. [See George Ormerod, The History of
the County Palatine and City of Chester, incorporated
with a republication of King's Vale Royal and Leycester's
Cheshire Antiquities (2nd ed., revised and enlarged
by Thomas Helsby, Esq.: George Routledge and Sons,
Ludgate Hill, London, 1882), vol. 3, p. 811.]
The elder Robert HYDE of NORBURY and
HYDE, the father of this family-group, is known to have
been alive during the Somerset Herald's - that is, Robert
Glover's - Visitation of Cheshire in 1566. He was eight
years of age in the 22nd year of Henry VIII (1531) and,
having thus been born in 1522 or 1523, he was about 44
years of age in 1566.
With the elder Robert HYDE of NORBURY
and HYDE as his contemporary informant by whom fee was
paid for listing the descendancy of HYDE of NORBURY in
the record of visitation, Glover reported in 1566 that
all of the children of the elder Robert HYDE of NORBURY
and HYDE were heirs to the body of Jone (or Jane) DAMPORT
(DAVENPORT) of BROMHALL. And Ormerod and Helsby agree
that Jone (or Jane) DAMPORT (DAVENPORT) of BROMHALL was
alive in 1566. [See George Ormerod, The History
of the County Palatine and City of Chester, incorporated
with a republication of King's Vale Royal and Leycester's
Cheshire Antiquities (2nd ed., revised and enlarged
by Thomas Helsby, Esq.: George Routledge and Sons,
Ludgate Hill, London, 1882), vol. 3, p. 827.]
Glover's treatment of this family-group
is preserved in London, British Library, MS Harley
1424, fol. 82 and in MS Harley 1505, fol. 85b; and Glover
repeated his findings of 1566 during his visitation of
Cheshire in 1580. For this, see The Visitation of
Cheshire in the Year 1580, Made by Robert Glover,
Somerset Herald, for William Flower, Norroy King of Arms,
with Numerous Additions and Continuations, Including
Those From the Visitation of Cheshire Made in the Year
1566, by the Same Herald, with an Appendix, Containing
the Visitation of a Part of Cheshire in the Year 1533,
Made by William Fellows, Lancaster Herald, for Thomas
Benolte, Clarenceaux King of Arms, and a Fragment of the
Visitation of the City of Chester in the Year 1591, Made
by Thomas Chaloner, Deputy to the Office of Arms, edited
by John Paul Rylands, F. S. A. (London 1882), pp. 131 -
132, as is printed thus:
|
Glover was certainly aware that Robert HYDE of NORBURY
and HYDE had been married to a Margaret
DUKINFIELD of DUKINFIELD but, to their union, he
attributes no offspring. For this, see The
Visitation of Cheshire in the Year 1580, Made by
Robert Glover, Somerset Herald, for William Flower,
Norroy King of Arms, with Numerous Additions and
Continuations, Including Those From the Visitation of
Cheshire Made in the Year 1566, by the Same Herald, with
an Appendix, Containing the Visitation of a Part of
Cheshire in the Year 1533, Made by William Fellows,

Chester in the Year 1591, Made by Thomas Chaloner, Deputy
to the Office of Arms, edited by John Paul Rylands, F. S.
A. (London 1882), p. 82.
Of Margaret DUKINFIELD of DUKINFIELD,
the only contemporary record seems to be the Will of
Robert DUKINFIELD of DUKINFIELD, dated 23 March 1546, in
reference to her as a daughter. This document, however,
appears to furnish no clue as to her marital status and
no evidence by which to question the findings of Robert
Glover.
Glover's reports of 1566 and 1580 were affirmed, in
1613, by Richard St. George and Henry St. George. See Pedigrees
Made at the Visitation of Cheshire, 1613, Taken by
Richard St. George, Esq., Norroy King of Arms, and Henry
St. George, Gent., Bluemantle Pursuivant of Arms, and
Some Other Contemporary Pedigrees, edited by Sir George
J. Armytage, Bart., F. S. A., and J. Paul Rylands, Esq.,
F. S. A., printed for The Record Society, 1909, p. 135.
Because it seems more likely that, in Cheshire, there
was more than one person named Robert HYDE than that the
elder Robert HYDE of NORBURY and HYDE was five times
wedded, the marital history that Ormerod and Helsby have
constructed for the elder Robert HYDE of NORBURY and HYDE
appears suspect. And, however the maternity of his
offspring may be attributed, the plain meaning of what
the elder Robert HYDE of NORBURY and HYDE submitted to
Robert Glover in 1566 is that - at the very least - the
younger Robert HYDE of NORBURY and HYDE, his son and
heir, was the son of Jone (or Jane)
DAMPORT (DAVENPORT) of BROMHALL.
That George Ormerod, in 1819, or Thomas
Helsby, in 1882, may have known better than Robert
Glover, in 1566, what the facts were concerning the
maternal parentage of the children of the elder Robert
HYDE of NORBURY and HYDE is certainly arguable. But,
since neither Ormerod nor Helsby furnished any argument,
it seems prudent to follow Glover.

death of his first wife, Dorothy HYDE, William DAMPORT

(ABT 1564, <Chester>, Cheshire, England - December
1615, Prestbury, Cheshire, England: interment 13 December
1615 at Prestbury, Cheshire, England) on 23 July 1594.
Elizabeth DIMOCKE was the daughter of William DIMOCKE.
After the death of his second wife,
Elizabeth DIMOCKE, William DAMPORT (DAVENPORT) of
WOODFORD seems to have married Anne WARREN on 1 January
1616 at Prestbury, County Cheshire, England.
William DAMPORT (DAVENPORT) of WOODFORD
was the son of Christopher DAVENPORT of WOODFORD (ABT
1530, Woodford, County Cheshire, England - 13 January
1592, County Cheshire, England: interment 18 January
1592, Prestbury, County Cheshire, England) and Jane
GERRARD (ABT 1530, Crewood, County Cheshire, England -
May 1563, County Cheshire, England: interment 16 May
1653, Prestbury, County Cheshire, England) who were
married 19 September 1547 at Crewood, County Cheshire,
England. Jane GERRARD was the daughter of Sir William
GERRARD, Lord Chancellor of Ireland.
