This
William
sold two
fields to
Mary
daughter
of
Nicholas
Smith(p.
44)
through
whom they passed
to the
Carringtons
of
Bugsworth
and were
purchased
in 1719 by
Mr. Thomas
Bagshawe
of the
Ridge and
by him
conveyed
to Queen
Anne's
Bounty as
the
nucleus of
a
permanent
stipend
for the
Minister
of Chapel
and they
continued
part of
the Glebe
until sold
in 1928.
The
remainder
passed to
Francis
Gee who
married Elizabeth
Marchenton
(Marchington)
and, dying
in 1679,
devised
the estate
to his
widow, who
in turn
left it to
Franics
Morten of
Brosterfield,
gent.,
from whom
it passed
to
Alexander
Barker of
Edensar,
Gent.,
whose
representives
sold to
Joseph
Lowe of
Kettleshulme.
His
descendants
held the
property
until, in

sold to

There is
no
endorsement
on this
indictment
that a

Witness to land deal in Assheborn Nicholas de Macehnton 25 Jan 1313. Atlow Witness to land deal Roger de Marcinton. Edw I. There are a lot more entries of Marchington�s in this book. All relating to the Ashbourne and Sudbury area of Derbyshire and Staffordshire. Therory: The Marchington�s were farming from 1220 AD around or at Roeside farm near Bradshaw Hall and then later moving to Lydate and then on to Eaves, Sittinglow & Halsteads. There was a second pocket of Marchington�s living around the Ashbourne, Sudbury & Marchington area. Early mentioning being Ralph de Marchington cadet of the Montgomery family of Sudbury. It�s possible that the two are connected and our junior branch left to be foresters serving the Ferrer�s family who the Montgomery�s seem to be strongly connected to in around Sudbury Tutbury area. This line of Marchington�s seems to have died out as there are no mentions of any other pockets living around the area in the 1500�s or any where else in England, a few marriages pop up but there are no hot spots of families other then the High Peak area. |
