This pocket of Marchington's cant be tied into earlier branches as I have failed to come across any links back from the mentioned Old Henry. As
such I will start this branch with PF for Peak Forest branch.

John
Marchington.1711; was a member of the lead miners (Barmoot) court from 1752
until 1779. This court was held at the Devonshire Arms Inn at Peak Forest, to
sort out any mining disputes, it was a self regulating industry and such courts
were backed by the Duchy of Lancaster who held the mineral rights to the
High Peak as it was part of the Duchy and the Crowns private income.
John Marchington.1711; was mining at the following locations,
c.1752 'at Harret Low
Hillocks on Gautries', c.1763 & 1766 ' on Barmoor and at Jack Thous Tickled
Me Once Again Mine on Barmoor Great Vein', c.1770 ' on Gautries Rake', c.1774
- 1777 ' in Paddock Vein in Barmoor and on Beelow Top', c.1779 'at Fearney
Slack Old Vein and John Garlick's Old Founder at the Loads Barn'.
Above
information was given to me my a chap who is writing a book on High Peak Lead
mining.
John Marchington.1711. Peak Forest died on the
20th Feb1787 given age 76 and was buried at Peak Forest Chapel along with his wife
Margaret who died on the 6th July 1784 given age 68.
Also a Mary is also buried with them. one would assume its their daughter
being a spinster, but her age doesn't match also a marriage is recorded
for a Mary as per her section, neither events can be proved to be the sad
Mary child o John & Margaret but an educated guess would leave me to
assume it is their daughter.

Children of John Marchington.1711
PF1.1.1
James Marchington.1739.
Peak Forest. Married Alice Needham on the 3 July 1764. James was a
miner by trade. They had no surviving children.
This James made a will in 1819
James Marchinton. Died without heir on the 23 May
1823. His wife Alice died on the 8th Dec 1814. He left his estate to his brothers children according to his
will wrote in 1819., being James Marchinton son of his brother John
& Thomas Marchinton son of one of his brothers. (Thomas & James were
probably living in Tideswell). Also
nieces Margaret Watts & Jane Oldfield. Jane is stated as unmarried in
the will so she could carry her aunts maiden name, also she is stated as of
Tideswell..
James's Will states
the following: Miner of Peak Forest Parish. I
bequeath … unto my Nephew James Marchinton son of John Marchinton of
Sheffield my brother only paying unto my nephew Thomas Marchinton of Tideswell
the sum of five pounds likewise to my Niece Margaret Watts the sum of Five
pounds then I will that unto my niece Jane Oldfield shall have the privilege of
room for one pair of rooms so long
as she shall remain unmarried…. He goes onto nominate James his nephew along
with a Robert Hartle as Executives of his will, the date being 7th
April 1819.
The following is
taken from Peak Forest Porobate entry which confirms the link.
James. MARCHINTON. Executors, Robert HARTLE & James MARCHINTON.
Died 25 May 1823, proved Sept 29, under £100.
James & Alice's
grave stones reads as follows: ”Here
lieth the body of ALICE the wife of JAMES MARCHINGTON who departed this life 8th
December 1814 aged 72 years Also the body of JAMES MARCHINGTON who departed this
life the 23rd of May 1823 aged 84 years.” Taken from Memorial
Inscription. MI Ref :C205 held in Matlock Records Office. (MRO).
Note;
the name is spelt with a G. and in his Will its without, this explains the
dropping of the G in this family line.
‘James Marchington; was mining lead at 'Oxlow Old Vein near the Loads
Barn' in
1788, in 1809 -1813 he was mining at Smiler Mine on Old White Rake on Eldon
Hill overlooking Peak Forest village and in 1815 he was at Coalpithole Mine
at Perryfoot.’
PF1.1.#Mary
Marchington
b.1742 married possibly in 1760 in
the Peak Forest PR to a Robert
Holme IGI & PR.
Also there is a Mary who is buried with john & Margaret her
parents, one would assume its their daughter being a spinster, but her age
doesn't match being 7 years out, also a marriage is recorded for a
Mary as above, neither events can be proved to be the said Mary child of
John & Margaret but an educated guess would leave me to assume it is
their daughter and the mariage event is probably another Mary Marchington.

John Marchinton. 1754. Peak Forest. Moved to Sheffield. Married a Mary
Stillings on the 23 Aug 1790 at Ecclesfield,
Sheffield and possible did so
having found out that Mary was pregnant with their child Margaret having her
around the 12 Dec 1790. This is so typical of the time having come across it so
often. its even thought that a man at that time would not commit himself to
marriage unless he was able to pregnant his future planned wife!! How true that
theory is I don’t know but having been caught out he had to do the decent
thing anyway.

PF1.2. Henry Marchingtonc1715. Peak Forest.
Children:
11 June 1742 Mary daughter of Henry Marchinton for boxon
young baptised at Slack Hall.
26 April 1747. Ann the Daughter of Henry Marchinton the
Younger- otherwise boxor of Rushop in this parish. Chapel PR.
Both these baptisms were recorded in the Chapel en le Frith PR, both of
which stated Henry the younger this has led to some confusion as there
were two other Henry's in the parish being father and son. Neither
Mary or Ann feature in the Will of the Sittinglow farm Henry &
son also strangely the world boxon is used in the PR entry for both girls?
what this means is unclear but I assume the entries were made in the
Chapel PR for a political statement, at the time the rise of the Purist
movement and Meeting houses for such were on the increase and I
would assume the then vicar was ensuring that any child baptised within
the parish was recorded in the PR even thou he didn't perform the event
himself.
