Thomas Bulkeley (d. 1591) and his grandfather William Hyll (

In case there are any Bulkeley descendants interested I thought I would
share this.

In the Shropshire Archives are some deeds dealing with Tunstall Old Court
with the reference numbers of 5194/B/1-18 and 5194/C/1-6 which shed some light
on the career of Thomas Bulkeley, Gent. (d. 1591). Thomas was steward of
Drayton manor for his kinsman Sir Rowland Hyll (d. 1561) of Hawkestone Park. In
1551 he leased from Hyll the vill of Tunstall which was part of the manor of
Betton in Hales, Shropshire. In 1586 he was still in possession of some
meadowland and woodland after the manor had passed to Ralph Thycknes. In his
1591 will Thomas Bulkeley requested "My Bodie to be buryed in the Chappel
called our Ladie Chappel in Drayton Church."

Thomas Bulkeley's grandfather, William Hyll (d. 1561) of Drayton in Hales,
Shropshire, left a will (P.C.C. Loftes 11/44) dated 22 Oct 1561 which was
recorded on 16 Nov 1561. In it William made provisions for the maintenance of
his mother Margaret Hyll and a daughter also called Margaret. He requested
burial in the parish church or churchyard of Drayton. The overseers of his will
were his brother John Hyll and his kinsman Sir Rowland Hyll.

If anyone can provide further biographic detail on these individuals I would
appreciate it.
