DILIGENTIA JOSEPHI HUNTER, SHEFFIELDIENSIS. S.A.S,

Uolume I.

EDITED BY

JOHN W. CLAY, P.S.A.

LONDON 1894.

I have taken this pains not for the present age, but a future. Many things which were known to our grandsires are lost to us ; and our grandchildren will search in vain for many facts which to us are most familiar.

Parvula (nam exemplo est) magni formica laboris Ore trahifc quodcunque potest atque addit acervo Quern struit hand ignara ac non incauta futuri.

He heapeth up riches and knoweth not who shall gather them.

Scribuntur hgec in generatione altera.

Ps. cii. v. 18.

The Race of Man is one vast marshalled army Summoned to pass the spacious realms of Time Their leader the Almighty.

See the vain Eace of Mortals move

Like Shadows o'er the Plain,

They rage and strive, desire and love,

But all the Noise is vain,

Some walk in Honour's gaudy Show,

Some dig for golden Ore,

They toil for Heirs they know not who,

And strait are seen no more.

Trail si vere patres ; simul et transibimus omnes ; At coelum patriam, qui bene transit, habet.

The busy tribes of flesh and blood With all their hopes and fears Are carried downward by the flood And lost in following years.

Like flowery fields the nations stand Pleased with the morning light ; The flowers beneath the mower's hand Lie withering ere 'tis night.

preface.

THE REV. JOSEPH HUNTER, F.S.A., the Historian of Hallamshire and South Yorkshire, was born at Sheffield 6 February 1783, being the son of Michael Hunter, a cutler. His mother dying early, he was placed under the guardianship of the Eev. Joseph Evans, a Presbyterian Minister, who sent him to a school at Sheffield. In 1805 he began to study for the Ministry under the Eev. Charles Wellbeloved at York, and in 1809 became the Minister of an Unitarian Congregation at Bath. From an early period he devoted himself to antiquarian pursuits, and particularly to the history of his native county. He published in 1819 the ' History of Hallamshire,' and in 1828 and 1831 the ' History of South Yorkshire,' which latter work may perhaps be considered one of the best county histories in existence. In 1833 he was appointed a Sub-Commissioner and in 1838 Assistant Keeper of Public Eecords. From that time he lived in London, where he died 9 May 1861, and was buried in Ecclesfield Churchyard.

After his death a large number of his Manuscripts became the property of the British Museum. They are numbered Add. MSS. 24,436—630, 24,864—885, 25,459—481, 25,676—7, 31,021.

Without a doubt the most important of these is Add. MS. 24,458, which he entitled " Families Minorum Gentium/' though it is doubtful whether the title is a happy one.

It is a thick folio volume of some 650 pages completely filled with pedigrees, chiefly of Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Cheshire, and Lancashire families, though of course their branches extend over other counties. Mr. HUNTER, by reason of his large genealogical acquaintance and also of his connection with the leading Unitarian families of the day, had the opportunity of gathering together such a mass of information that this book has perhaps been as much consulted as any work of a similar character in the Museum.

yi PREFACE.

The Council of the Harleian Society has now decided to print it in full, considering that the members and others interested in Genealogy should have the opportunity of always being able to obtain the infor- mation it contains.

The manuscript has been copied by Mr. A. H. Heppell, and the Editor has carefully compared the transcript with the original, as well as most of the proof sheets. Those who are acquainted with Mr. HUNTER'S handwriting, especially in his later years, will sympathize with the copyist and the Editor in their tasks, as many words are so written that they can be very variously deciphered; the greatest difficulty has been found in the proper names of persons, where no reference is easily attainable, and of small places not in a Gazetteer. Many thanks are due to Mr. Bickley of the Manuscript Room in the British Museum for his help in clearing up the meaning of some of the most puzzling words.

It has been thought advisable to make as an exact a copy as possible, and not to alter or continue the pedigrees, but a few footnotes have been given to correct any manifest errors, and also to add some further entries from the Northowram and other Parish Registers which might throw further light on the subject. The pagination of the MS. is also given, so that Mr. HUNTER'S references to other pedigrees can be easily found.

It is proposed to complete the Work in four volumes, and to print the Index in the concluding one.

The following abbreviations are frequently used by Mr. Hunter : —

Calainy. ' The Nonconformist Memorial : an account of the Ministers ejected at the Restoration.'

The account contained in this and the following pages of the descendants of Joshua Kirby, the ejected Gambden Lecturer of Wakefield, is taken for the most part from the memoirs of him and his family compiled in the year 1760 by Dr. Sutton of Leicester, one of his descendants. Two copies of Dr. Sutton's MSS. have been used; one the property of Mrs. Milnes of Fryston in Yorkshire, an 8vo of 143 pages with 25 of additions. This was for some time in my hand. The other was the property of Sir Wadsworth Busk. Of this my late friend Mr. Moult of Wickersley in Yorkshire made a transcript, which has been compared with Mr. Milnes' MSS. I have made a few additions, principally from the MSS. of Mr. Oliver Heywood and Mr. Thomas Dickenson.

Mr. Kirby' s rhymes were valued by his family, and I find that Mr. 0. Heywood, who was his friend, transcribed many of them for his own use. The following may serve as a specimen, and be at the same time a proof of the Genealogy as far as it goes : —

Mary did wisely choose the better part

Susanna did her own to Christ impart

Elizabeth religiously did live

Phwbe did succour unto many give

Camdma of my foundress remindeth me

Welcome expresses what a child should be

Godsgift both fathers names may bear and spread

Ttvin is the living monument of my dead

Joshua rejoiceth in his Saviour's name, Believeth, Preacheth and suffers for the same.

The Monuments of the Roberts in the Church of St. Martin's Outwich are engraved in a 4to. book printed about 1795, being a description of the Parish. There are 15 engraved plates & a few leaves of letterpress. I never saw it before this day Sep. 15, 1846, & I think it cannot have been published. (See if it is in Upcott, see M.P.B., xv., 15, & O.V.A., iv., 106.)

Sir John Fryer, Bart., had twins born to him in the year of his Mayoralty at Goldsmiths' Hall 5 June 1721 by his wife Dorcas. They were baptised the same day by Dr John Evans, & named Gabriel & Delicia. The boy died 25 of that month. (Register of Dr Evans.)

MS. 2 c A HALL AMSHIRE GENEALOGY.

A Correspondent communicates the following Statement respecting the family of Mrs Elizabeth Roberts, whose death was announced in our last : — This lady was lineally descended from the Marriotts of Ughill Hall, & was the legitimate heiress- en-tail of Thomas and Benjamin Marriott, Esquires, deceased. As the history of this Hallamshire family is not generally known, I subjoin it as follows: — The Marriotts derived their name from the town of Marriott, in Normandy, whence three brothers, Rudolph, Augustine, and William, accompanied the Conqueror to England, & from their bravery at the Battle of Hastings, under Du Buisby, received grants of lands. According to the Charter of the Marriotts, it appears that the Manor of Ughill, or as it is termed Uggeechala, was given to them without power of Alienation. We find the Marriotts taking an active part in the Barons' wars (Adam & Thomas De Marriott in the time of Edward I.), & also in those of the Roses, fighting under De Clifford (Thomas de Marriott, 15 Henry VI.). From this period to that of the Civil Wars the Marriotts were chiefly engaged in foreign wars till about 1647, we find John Marriott of Ughill, a celebrated Parliamentarian, who was several times fined or plundered by the Royalists of Sheffield Castle. From John Marriott the estates descended to Jonathan Marriott by heirship, who, dying in 1729, the estates of the Marriotts devolved on the next heir Thomas Marriott, who was a benefactor to the School at Bradfield, and the Chapel at Stannington. Having no issue by his wife Mary Woodhead, he left his estates, by will dated 3rd day of February 1752, to his next heir male Benjamin Marriott, & to his heirs for ever. On the death of Thomas, which happened in February 1754, Benjamin became seized. A great mystery exists concerning this gentleman, who was possessed of considerable wealth. I willingly draw a veil over the dark transactions of this period. Both the gentry & their victim have long ago paid the debt of nature. I understand that digging for a new cellar some years ago at Ughill, the remains of a human skeleton were found, which was at the time strongly suspected to have been Marriott's. Be that as it may, Thomas Parkin, or as he termed him- self Thomas Maryott Perkins, was no relation to the Marriott family. After the death of Hannah Worral his wife, who died March 1755, & Mary his daughter in infancy, the heirship descended to his cousin Joseph Marriott, an officer of note in the King's service. He was engaged in several engagements, & wounded eight times all in front. By his wife Mary Green he had a daughter Mary Marriott, who married a James Wilde. The issue of this marriage, Elizabeth, married first Thos. Dobbs of Sheffield, deceased, & secondly .... Roberts, deceased, both of whom she survived. She has left issue living.
