Benedicta Foljambe and Tristram Revel

Legg inn av Mark Allen » 15 mai 2006 21:23:37

I wonder if anyone could shed any light on this Benedicta Foljambe for me
please.

The Visitations of Derbyshire, Familae Minorium Gentium and the Woolley MSS
all show the wife of Tristram Revel of Carnthwaite/Carlingthwaite/Carnfield
in Derbyshire to be Benedicta, the daughter of John Foljambe of
Parkhouses/Peckhouses/Parkhall. Of course its possible that Woolley and FMG
are just following the visitation.

Tristram's father Hugh died in 1504, and mentioned Tristram in his will in
such a way as to imply that he was more than a mere child. Tristram was
still active in 1532, and his son Hugh married before 1539, so I would
therefore estimate this marriage to Benedicta to be in the first decade or
two of the 16th century.

The senior line of the Foljambe family was at that time in the manor of
Walton in the parish of Chesterfield, where Lyson (in Magna Britannia v5
p75) states that "Park-hall on the site of the old mansion of the Foljambes,
is now a farm-house". This would seem to imply that Benedicta's father was
close to the senior line - certainly at least as close as when 1387/8 when
Walton came into the family.

However looking through what I can find in the archives, and in the Foljambe
pedigree on Chris Phillips' site, and elsewhere, I'm unable to place him.

There appears to have been a John (died young 1499), who couldn't have been
old enough to have a daughter by his father Godfrey's birthdate of 1472.

Godfrey also had a younger brother John, who apparently also died young
(although I don't know at what age).

Godfrey also had a daughter Benedicta of about the right age, but she is
discounted, both by her father's name and her marriage to Sir William
Dunham.

The only other possibility would seem to have been if Thomas (married 1454,
died 1467) had a son John, but he apparently died sp, so no joy there
either.

Discounting all these, it appears as though John may have been further from
the main line after all.

The a2a website contains copius amounts of Foljambe material, but again
there are no clues apparent there.

I'd be very grateful for any thoughts on this. I'd shelved it a couple of
years ago, but happened upon it again yesterday, and decided to have another
look !

Many thanks

One of the Foljambe documents from A2A shows that Godfrey's mother was
named Bennet [Benedicta], so presumably any other Benedictas in the
family would stem from this lady's marriage into the Foljambe - perhaps
circa 1470, according to the date you cite above. Either other
Benedictas would likely be descendants of hers, or closely connected to
her (eg if she had acted as godmother):

FILE [no title] - ref. DD/FJ/4/7/6 - date: 21 June 1513
[from Scope and Content] Will of Godfrey Fulgeham, esq.,
"intending to go over the see with the kynges grace". Mentions wife
Katheryne, sons Jas. and Godfrey, ds. Bennette and Katheryne wife of
Thos. Nevyll, mother Bennet F., and brother Roger F.

Ah, here I am teaching you to suck eggs: Chris Phillips already has
these details on his superb site: she was Benedict Vernon.

Have you seen these two documents from PROCAT, linking Godfrey
Foljambe, probably the nephew of the Godfrey of whom you have written,
and Tristram Revel?

(1)

Godfrey FULLJAMBE, esquire, son and heir of Roger Fuljambe, v. Tristram
REVELL of Barnyghwayt (sic), gentleman.: Detention of deeds relating to
a messuage, cottage and land in Brampton.: DERBY. 1386-1558 [C
1/1501/59]

(2)

William, great-grandson and heir of Lawrence Caskyn. Godfrey Fulljambe.
v. Tristram Revell.: Detention of deeds relating to tenements in
Brampton. Copies of bills.: Derby. 1532-1538 [C 1/768/26]

There is a further document which provides additional information about
Roger Foljambe's family:

"John SELYOK of Hasylburgh (i.e. Hazlebadge ?) and Elizabeth his wife,
daughter of Roger Fuljambe (Folian), v. George, Roger and George (sic),
sons of the said Roger FULJAMBE and Katherine Fuljambe his daughter.:
Legacies of the said Roger, the father, whose sons are his executors,
and of Ellen his wife, whose executors are the said Roger the son and
Katherine. 1538-1544" (C 1/1059/18-19)

Given that, according to the transcription that Chris provides, Roger
had a daughter Bennet (with no marriage there assigned to her), perhaps
it was she who married Tristram Revel, and her father's name was
wrongly recorded in the Visitation record as John? An example of just
this occurs with Roger's own wife, who is said to be "Helen, daughter
and heir of John (sic) Coke", whereas C 1/309/14 states that he was
*Thomas* Coke:

"Roger Fulgeham and Ellen, his wife, daughter and heir of Thomas Coke.
v. Godfrey Somersall and Edmund Cokes.: Detention of deeds relating to
land in Dronfield.: [Derby]. 1500-1515"

Interestingly, Roger Foljambe was sometimes styled of "Morehouses"
(A2A, Foljambe Papers, DD/FJ/4/10/1 dated 21 May 1521: "Roger Foljambe
of Morhowses (Derbyshire), Esq").

Many thanks Michael. I hadn't looked on PROCAT. These certainly give me a
little more to think about. I will crack it eventually ;)

Cheers

Good luck. According to the PRO's C 1/1059/18-19, both Roger and Ellen
Foljambe must have left wills (as they left executors) so perhaps
tracking these down may help; it appears neither was proved at the
P.C.C. so presumably Lichfield or York should be checked.

Additionally, because the Revels were (as I understand it) connected
with the Turbutts of Ogston, and the current head of that family
(Gladwyn Turbutt) has authored many works on the history of Derbyshire,
I wonder whether corresponding with him would elicit anythig further?
He appears to be a genealogist, inter alia.

She was Bennet Vernon, as in the will you cite. Benedict(a) is the
Latin form of Bennet.

As my original post in this thread makes clear.
