More on the SHAFTO Family of Little Bavington w/ their FENWI

Legg inn av Gjest » 20 aug 2005 20:00:02

Would appreciate comparing notes with anyone interested in this family:

1. Edward Shaftowe [occurred 1503 & 1526]
m. Elizabeth Swynburne, daughter of Thomas Swynburne [fl. 1482-1509] of
Nafferton by his wife Margaret Mitchelson, heiress of Mikle Bavington and
daughter of Robert Mitchelson of Offerton, Durham, & Alicia del Strother.

2. Cuthbert Shafto [alive 1544] of Bavington, Northumberland.
m. Isabell Bertram [d. by 1544], co-heiress of Brenkley and Benwell,
Northumberland, and daughter of Roger Bertram.

3. John Shafto [d. by 1565], Esquire, of Bavington, Brenkley, & Benwell
One of the supervisors to the 1554 will of Martin Turpyn of Langley [who was
the second husband of his sister Agnes Shafto].
Married Anne Ellerker, daughter of Sir William Ellerker [d. 1526] of
Dunstanburgh and Warkworth Castles, Sheriff of Northumberland 1522 & 1525, by his
wife Dame Marjory (Percy) Widdrington-Ellerker [alive 1537].
The children of John Shafto & Anne Ellerker:

a. John Shafto
In 1565 he and his mother owed debt to his uncle Sir Robert Ellerker of
Alnwick. He was a supervisor to the 1572 will of his father's second cousin
Thomas Swynburne, Esq., of Edlingham Castle, Newton, Mykle Bavington, &c. He
appears to have died without issue, but there was an inventory recorded in 1583
for John Shafto, merchant, of Newcastle, but I think this might be an
individual from a cadet line.

b. Edward Shafto, Esq., of Mykle Bavington [d. by 1593]
Married MARGERIE HERON [alive 1599] of Chipchase Castle and left issue,
including eldest son William Shafto, Esq., of Little Bavington and Mykle
Bavington, who by his wife Frances Dalston , who was the father of amongst others
George Shafto (d. 1679), Esq., of Little Bavington, and Mary Shafto who was the
wife of CUTHBERT FENWICK of Mykle Bavington.

c. Luke Shafto
Nothing further known.

d. William Shafto (d. 6 Oct. 1599), Esq., of Little Bavington (in
Throckington Parish) and land and tithes in Ponteland Parish.
He was also one of the supervisors for the 21 Jul. 1572 will of Thomas
Swynburne, Esq., of Edlingham Castle. In his own 14 Jul. 1599 will he arranged
for the marriage of his daughter Margerie Shafto with Edward, son of Reynold
Shafto of Throckington, as well as providing for his nephews, the sons of
Edward and Margerie (Heron) Shafto.

e. Jane Shafto

f. Mary Shafto

g. Dorothy Shafto

h. Grace Shafto

One of these daughters appears to have brought the Shafto third of Brenkley
in marriage by 1571 to JOHN FENWICK, Gent, of Brenkley. John Fenwick's
cousin MARMADUKE FENWICK, Gent., of Kirkharle, besides holding free land and a
leased farmhold in Mykle Bavington, was the guardian of Clement Shafto in 1590.
Was Marmaduke married to one of these daughters as well?


Margerie (Heron) Shafto had at least two sisters and one brother:

1. ISABELL HERON, wife of JOHN FENWICK [d. 1580-81], Gent., of Walker (in
Longbenton Parish), Northumberland. [Possibly the parents of John Fenwick,
Gent., of Brenkley.]

2. THOMASYNE HERON, wife of LANCELOT THIRLWALL [d. 1582-83], Esq., of
Thirlwall (in Haltwhistle Parish), Northumberland.

3. JOHN HERON [d. 1590-91], Esq., of Chipchase Castle, Northumberland,
husband of MARGERY SWYNBURNE of Edlingham Castle.
