EXTRACTS FROM PARISH REGISTERS. NO. 9 (VOL. II., p. 33).

Debden, co. Essex.

These registers contain little that is interesting; they are in very good preservation. The following names occur frequently; Wright, Boutell, Hamond, Carter, Glascock, Pamphilon, Spooner, Andrews, Coleman, Suckling, Rust, Yeldham, Seamer, and Ratcliffe. I add most of the entries worthy of note.

1733. Peter Muilman, Gent., of ye parish of St. Botolph, extra Bishopgate, London, Batchelor, and Mary Chiswell, of ye same parish, spinster, married April 17th.

I should be glad to know to what family the Brownes, Baronets, above mentioned, belonged. I am unable to find them in Burke's Extinct Baronetage. It is said that there were some inscriptions in brass to their memory, lying loose in the church chest, but all traces of them have now disappeared. Morant, in his History of Essex, says, "Mr. Grove sold it (i.e. the manor of Debden) to Sir Richard Brown, Knight and Bart., who kept his first court here, 23rd May, 1662. He died in 1672, and was buried here. By his wife Bryan, of Oxfordshire, he had Richard, his son, knighted in his father's life-time, who married Frances, sister to Sir Robert Atkins, Chief Baron of the Ex

chequer. They both dyed in 1685, within three days of each other, and were buried at the same time here. This last Sir Richard sold the manor of Debden Hall to John Edwards, Esq."

It appears, however, from the Register, that both the dates 1672 and 1685, are incorrect in Morant.

I may add that, should any of your Correspondents possess a copy of the Browne Pedigree, it would be interesting and worth communicating.

GEORGE W. MARSHALL, LL.B. P.S.-I have been unable to find any inventory of church furniture, temp. Ed. VI., in the Public Record Office.

Reginald Heber, of Hadleigh, Essex (vol. II., p. 38.)-I cannot throw much light upon the obscurity which involves this person, but I add the following from the Register of Long Newton parish, co Durham:

"Reginald Heber,* merchant, of London, and Mrs. Jane Vane, mar. 11 July, 1685."

This Mistress Vane must have been a near relative of the great Sir Harry, and, perhaps, daughter of his brother George, who was Rector of Long Newton.-C.J.R.

A Crisom Child (vol. 11., p. 33.)—-Chrism was consecrated oil used early in the ceremonies of the Roman and Greek churches. In 1541, cinnamon, roses, frankincense, &c., are mentioned as used with the oil; but in 1596 it was ordained that chrism should consist of oil and balsam only; the one representing the human nature of Christ, and the other his divine nature.-R. C., Queen's Gardens.

QUERIES.

Sir John Cary, of Pleshey, co. Essex.-Will some correspondent kindly inform me how and when Sir John Cary became possessed of this manor? Sir John was made a Knight of the Carpet, 1 Edw. VI, and the Inquisition after his death was held 6-7 of the same reign. He married Joyce, daughter of Thomas Denny, of Cheshunt, and widow of Wm. Walsingham. Among the Patent Rolls occurs the following: "Hen. VIII, an. 28, pars. 3a., Rex xxi di Julii con. Joh'i Cary et Jocosa Walsingham, scitum Prior' de Thremhale, Essex, &c." Where was this priory, and when did it pass from the Cary family ?-C. J. R.

Meaning of Denny and Winfollfeld.-Would some one of your learned correspondents be good enough to explain the meaning of the two following names- -Denny and Winfollfeld? The former is of not unfrequent occurrence, as in the New Forest, &c.; the latter is quite local. Can the one signify near the forest, and the other the field full of whin, or wind? I should be much obliged to any one to assist me.-T.

Joseph Hussey, Pastor of the Congregational Church at Cambridge.-Can any of your readers give me any information about this "Pastor"? I have a sermon of his, preached January 19th, 1703, "being the day of Publick Humiliation, for the late Terrible and Awakening storm of Wind." It is entitled "A Warning from the Winds." Bound up with it is another sermon, which he preached on the death of his wife, "Mrs. Mary Hussey, who sweetly slept in Jesus, January 29th, 1703."-W. M. H. C.

* Cf. the following from Register of Trinity the Less, London. Reginall, son of Reginall Heber, merchant by Jane his wife, born 8th January, 1688-9, baptized 13th.”

NOTES.

AN HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF THE FAMILIES OF ALBINI AND

MOUBRAY.-NO. II (VOL. II., p. 31).

In the next year he had summons to attend in like manner on the morrow of Sts. Simon and Jude in London; and in the 47th Henry III, he had a summons to attend at Worcester on the feast of St. Peter ad Vincula, to accompany the King into Wales. He died in the 51st of Henry III, at his seat in the Isle of Axholme, Lincolnshire, and was buried in the church of the Friars Preachers, at Pontefract; upon which Matilda, his widow, eldest of the coheirs of Johanna de Beauchamp,* deceased, obtained possession of the Castle of Bedford, which was of her own inheritance, and had a confirmation from the King of the custody of her son Roger de Moubray, which had been granted to her by Richard, King of the Romans; and she afterwards married Roger le Strange.

Richard de Moubray, son and heir of Roger, proved his age, and had livery of his lands in the 6th Edward I. In the 10th of Edward I, he had summons to be at Worcester on the day of Pentecost, prepared with horse and arms to attend the King into Wales; and obtained scutage of all his tenants on account of his attendance in that service. In the 11th Edward I, he had summons to attend the King at Shrewsbury, on the morrow of St. Michael, to advise with him concerning the captivity of David, the son of Griffin, Prince of Wales.

He was summoned to Parliament as a Baron by writ, dated the 23rd of June, in the * Arms of Beauchamp, of Bedfordshire :-Gules, fretty Argent.

On

23rd of Edward I, and returnable on the 1st of August then following, being the second Baron on the roll; and in the 25th Edward I, he attended the King in his expedition into Flanders, in the retinue of the Bishop of Durham, and died in that service in the year following, at Ghent, whence he was brought to England, and interred in the Abbey of Fountains.

This Roger de Moubray, in the 10th Edward I, intailed his lordships of Thresk, Kirby Malesart, Burton in Lonsdale, Hovingham, Melton Moubray, and Eppeworth, and in the Isle of Axholme, on the heirs of his own body, with remainder to Hyde Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, and his heirs. And an inquisition taken in the 26th Edward I, finds him to have died seised of the Manors of Honingham, Kirkeby Malesard, the Barony of Threske, the Manor of Burton in Lonsdale, in Yorkshire, the Manors of Epworth, Belton, Haxey, and Ouston, in Lincolnshire; the Manor of Melton Moubray, in Leicestershire; and the Manor of Creke, in Northamptonshire, parcel of the Barony of Melton Moubray; besides other estates in those counties. And by an inquisition taken in the 29th year of Edward I, it was found he was scised at his death of two Knights' fees in Empingham, co. Rutland.

John de Moubray, son and heir of Roger (by Rose, the daughter of Richard, and sister of Gilbert de Clare, Earls of Gloucester and Hertford), born the 2nd November, 14th Edward I, became the ward of William de Braose, of Gower, who obtained the custody of him for the purpose of marrying him to Aliva his daughter; which marriage afterwards took place, and she became at length one of the coheirs of her father. This John de Moubray obtained livery of the lands of his inheritance, in the 34th Edward I, although he had not then attained his full age, in regard he was at that time serving the King with horse and arms in Scotland. In the same year he was knighted along with Prince Edward and several of the nobility; and in the 35th Edward I, he was again in the King's service in Scotland. In the 1st Edward II, he was one of the great men who were summoned to attend the King's coronation, on Sunday, after the feast of St. Valentine. In the 3rd Edward II, he was summoned by the King's writ, dated from Staunford (Stamford) the 30th July, to be at Newcastle-on-Tyne on Monday, the feast of St. Michael then next, with horse and arms and his whole service, to attend the King against the Scots, who had broken the truce made at the request of Philip, King of France. In the 4th Edward II, he had command to attend with horse and arms at Roxburgh, on the feast of St. Peter ad Vincula, again to march against the Scots. In the 6th Edward II, holding the sheriffalty of the county of York, he had command from the King to seize Henry de Percy, for having permitted Piers de Gaveston, Earl of Cornwall, of whom he had the custody, to escape out of Scarborough Castle. In the 7th Edward II, he had summons to be at Berwick-on-Tweed, on Monday after the feast of St. Barnabas the Apostle, to attend the King with horse and arms into Scotland, against Robert de Brus, and was constituted one of the Wardens of the Marches towards that kingdom; and in the same year he had licence to send his brother Alexander with

forces to the assistance of David, Earl of Athol, against Edward Brus. In the 8th Edward II he had summons to attend at Newcastle-on-Tyne, on the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, with horse and arms to repress the turbulence of the Scots, and, in consideration of the expenses he had sustained in the maintenance of horse, for the security of Yorkshire during his sheriffalty, he had a grant of the annual revenues of the manors of Penreth and Soureby, in Tynedale, in Cumberland, until he should have received 500 marks. In the 10th Edward II, he was commanded to array the commonalty of the wapentakes of Asgodcross, Staincross, Barkston, Agbrigge, and Morley, and the Soke of Snaythe, in Yorkshire, preparatory to an expedition into Scotland. In the 11th Edward II, he was appointed Governor of the Castles of Malton and Scarborough, in Yorkshire. In the 12th Edward II, he had command to levy all his men and tenants north of Trent, from the age of twenty to sixty years, and to see them sufficiently furnished to be ready to march against the King's enemies in Scotland; and, being in the same year in the King's service in that county, he was empowered to receive such persons into his protection as should submit to the King his master. In the 14th Edward II, great disputes arising respecting the possession of Gowerland, in Wales, amongst the Earl of Hereford, the Mortimers, the Despensers, and this John de Moubray; Moubray claiming it as the inheritance of his wife; severally, claiming to be the purchasers under her father, who had been a man of dissipated habits ; and the jealousies of the nobility, of the influence of the Despensers with the King, having broken the bounds of restraint, and nearly destroyed all deference for the kingly authority; the Lord Moubray, amongst others, placed himself and his quarrel under the protection of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, the King's cousin, who was then the leader of the discontented; and the King on the 30th of January in that year (1321) wrote to John de Moubray, the Earl of Hereford, and others, prohibiting them to congregate together for the purpose of interfering with affairs of state; and on the 21st of April following, Moubray was, amongst others, commanded by the King to suppress the rumours against his government, and to preserve the peace.
