Royal Lineage of SHAFTO Family of Little Bavington and Brenk

Legg inn av Gjest » 03 aug 2005 20:40:02

JOHN SHAFTO (d. 1563-65) of Little Bavington (in Throckington Parish) and
Brenkley (in Ponteland Parish), Northumberland, was the eldest son of CUTHBERT
SHAFTO (liv. 1544) of Little Bavington by his wife ISABELLA BERTRAM (d. by
1544), co-heiress of Brenkley. He was married by a 1552 Visitation to ANNE
ELLERKER, and they were listed with eight children in the 1563-64 Yorkshire
Visitation. ANNE (ELLERKER) SHAFTO was called "Wedowe Shafto of Bavington" in
the 1565 will of one of her kinsman.
The fourth son of John and Anne, WILLIAM SHAFTO of Little Bavington, left a
will dated 14 Jul. 1599 which was recorded 20 Sep. 1602, mentioning among the
many bequests his daughter MARGERIE and his nephews, the sons of his deceased
brother EDWARD SHAFTO. One of these nephews was WILLIAM SHAFTO whose
daughter MARY SHAFTO married in Ponteland Parish in 1624 to CUTHBERT FENWICK (d.
by 1658), proprietor of half of Great Bavington. This CUTHBERT FENWICK was
likely an uncle of CUTHBERT FENWICK (son of MARTIN FENWICK, Gent., of Brenkley)
who was buried in 1629 in Ponteland Parish. Another likely nephew, who was
an immigrant to Maryland along with his sister Jane, was CUTHBERT FENWICK (son
of JOHN FENWICK, Gent., of Brenkley, a grand juror in the Northumberland
Quarter Sessions as late as 1629), who was baptised in 1614 in Ponteland Parish.
A likely brother of the elder CUTHBERT FENWICK of Great Bavington was
ROBERT FENWICK, Gent., of Brenkley, who received in 1622 the third of Brenkley
that had belonged to the SWINBURNE family of Capheaton. The father of these men
from Brenkley was JOHN FENWICK, Gent., of Brenkley, who was residing in
Brenkley by 1571 [possessed of the SHAFTO third?], and who in 1573 purchased the
third of Brenkley held by the descendants of ELIZABETH (BERTRAM) COWDALE. I
speculate at this time that the wife of the elder JOHN FENWICK of Brenkley
was one of the four daughters of JOHN SHAFTO and ANNE ELLERKER of Little
Bavington and Brenkley.
