Edmund Childe 1412-1459

NORTHWICK was held in the time of Henry III of the manor of Blockley by Avice de Kingsford and Robert de Northwick, (fn. 141) whose ancestor Roger had held his share in 1182. (fn. 142) In 1227 Robert granted his land in marriage with his daughter Maud to Roger de Draycott, reserving a moiety to himself for life and dower for his wife Marjory. (fn. 143) This holding, which belonged to William de Draycott in 1299, (fn. 144) afterwards passed to Thomas de Clipstone, who held it as the fifth part of a knight's fee in 1346. (fn. 145) The land which had belonged to Avice de Kingsford perhaps passed to Richard Redlaund, who died seised of a carucate of land before 1254. (fn. 146) His widow Emma received dower therein, and the remainder was granted by Walter Cantilupe, Bishop of Worcester, to Richard de Crisetot. (fn. 147) By 1346 Avice de Kingsford's land had come into the possession of John de Clipstone, (fn. 148) and in 1383 John Childe, whose family had already been established for some years in the district, seems to have become tenant of the whole estate. (fn. 149)

Thomas Childe, 'gentilman,' succeeded before 1426 to the property, (fn. 150) which afterwards passed to Edmund Childe, who died about 1459, leaving as his heir his son William. (fn. 151) This William Childe in 1520 granted the reputed manor to Robert Haldyworth and other feoffees, on condition that they should pay 10 marks yearly to William Childe the younger and Anne (Hunckes) his wife, (fn. 152) who ten years later conveyed the estate to the feoffees, apparently for the purpose of a settlement (fn. 153) on his brotherin-law Thomas Hunckes. In 1558 Thomas Hunckes died seised of the manor, leaving as his heir his son Robert, (fn. 154) who having no children settled it in 1564 on his brother John. (fn. 155) In 1583 Robert and Thomas Hunckes, the sons of John, sold it to William Childe, the son of William and Anne, (fn. 156) from whose grandson and namesake it was bought in 1683 by Sir James Rushout, bart. (fn. 157) From that date until 1912 the property remained in the possession of the Rushout family. (fn. 158) On the death of Lady Northwick in May 1912 the property passed under the will of her late husband, the last Lord Northwick, to her grandson Mr. George Spencer-Churchill

Kinlet Hall From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Kinlet Hall is an 18th century country house at Kinlet, Shropshire, England, now occupied by an independent day and residential school. It is a Grade I listed building.[1] The manor of Kinlet was held by the Brampton and Cornwall families until it passed via his maternal ancestors to Humphrey Blount (of the Sodington Hall family) High Sheriff of Shropshire 1461.[2] It later passed to Rowland Lakyn (or Lacon), High Sheriff in 1571, through the female line, and subsequently by the marriage of a Lacon daughter and heiress who married Sir William Childe.[2] The old manor house was replaced in 1727-9 by William Lacon Childe (d 1756). He commissioned architect Francis Smith of Warwick created the present Palladian style mansion. The brick built, east facing, three storey, seven bayed central block is flanked by single storey wings and two smaller detached two storey blocks: that to the north originally housing stables, that to the south the kitchens.[3] The Childe family were resident until the 20th century.

St Botolph Aldgate - Parish location map

St Botolph Aldgate; Cary's New And Accurate Plan Of London And Westminster c.1795. Introduction: Straddling the eastern boundary between the City of London and Middlesex, St Botolph was a large and densely packed parish. Already substantially built up by the late seventeenth century, it experienced modest population growth in the eighteenth century in the form of an increasing density of persons per house, reflecting in turn a decline in the social status of its residents. The parish suffered considerable poverty, disease and poor housing, but there was also a significant minority of wealthier inhabitants, substantial poor relief and a high level of charitable giving. Despite the deprivation, crime does not appear to have been a significant problem, or at least the inhabitants appear to have been able to resolve their difficulties without frequent resort to the courts. Overall, despite its poverty and divided government, the parish seems to have experienced social stability. Location St Botolph Aldgate is located on the eastern edge of the City of London, straddling the border with Middlesex; part of the parish was in the City (in Portsoken Ward), and part in Middlesex (East Smithfield). A long, thin parish, it stretched from Gravel Lane (off Houndsditch) in the northeast all the way to the Thames in the south. The northern part of the parish, located in the City, was bordered by Petticoat Lane, Somerset Street and Mansell Street on the northeast side, and Houndsditch and Vine Street on the west, continuing south down the Minories and bypassing the Liberty of Trinity Minories towards Tower Hill and Rosemary Lane. The southern part, only attached to the rest of the parish across a short stretch of Rosemary Lane, was in Middlesex, and located east of the Tower of London and the parish of St Katherine by the Tower. With King Street and Ditch Side on its western border, its eastern boundary went along Darby Street, Church Yard Alley, Black Dogg Alley, and Nightingale Lane down to the Hermitage Dock. On the west, it was bordered by East Smithfield (the street), Butcher Row, and Red Cross Street.

St Botolph's Without-Aldgate Church

 

St Botolph's Without-Aldgate, St Botolph's Church, Aldgate, or just Aldgate Church, is a Church of England liberal and inclusive parish church in the City of London, standing at the junction of Houndsditch and Aldgate High Street. The current 18th century church is made of brick with stone quoins and window casings. The tower is square with an obelisk spire. The parish was united with that of Holy Trinity, Minories in 1899. History: The first written record of this church appears in 1115 when it was received by the Holy Trinity Priory (recently founded by Matilda of England) but the parochial foundations may very well be Pre-1066. The church was rebuilt in the 16th century and then again between 1741-1744 to designs by George Dance, the Elder. The interior "was redecorated by J. F. Bentley, the architect of Westminster Cathedral, was severely bombed at intervals during the London Blitz of the Second World War and then, after its restoration by Rodney Tatchell, was much damaged by an inexplicable outbreak of fire in 1965, so that further restoration had to be carried out. St Botolph's was rehallowed on November 8, 1966 by the Bishop of London, in the presence of the Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother and Sir Robert Bellinger, the Lord Mayor of London, who attended in state." The church was designated a Grade I listed building on 4 January 1950. The church is a short walk away from Mitre Square, the site of the murder of Catherine Eddowes by Jack the Ripper, as well as easy access to the other four murder sites of 1888. It was often referred to as the "Church of Prostitutes" in the late Victorian period for a very strange reason, the church is situated on an island of land surrounded by roadways and it was common in Victorian times to be suspicious of women stood on street corners so the this made them easy targets for the police. To avoid this the prostitutes would parade around the island that the church and Aldgate tube station now occupy, thus avoiding "hanging around an street corners". Organ: The organ by Renatus Harris was built in the early 18th century. It has recently undergone a historical restoration by the organ builders Goetze and Gwynn. It has been restored to its 1744 specification using many of the original components. This organ has been described as the oldest church organ in the United Kingdom. Although there are older pipes and cases, this is the oldest collection of pipes in their original positions on their original wind chests. Donated by Thomas Whiting in 1676 it was built between 1702 to 1704. It was enhanced for the new church (the current building) by Harris' son-in-law, John Byfield, in 1740. The organ was considerably enlarged several times in the 19th century and again rebuilt by Mander Organs in the 1960s having survived a World War II bomb, which lodged in the roof of the church but failed to explode. The decision to restore the instrument was taken by St Botolph’s in 2002 after which a fund raising campaign was launched. The restoration, undergone under the consultancy of Ian Bell took nine months during which time the organ has been at the workshops of Goetze and Gwynn in Welbeck, Nottinghamshire. It was reinstalled in May 2006.

Susannah (Dake) 1701

Susannah Deake
No record of either birth or death have been found yet for Susannah, perhaps because no one had thought to check the records of New London, Connecticut.  Legend has it that she was Welsh and that her family entered Rhode Island with Roger Williams in 1637.  Susannah is known to have joined the Sabbatical church of Westerly.  (The present 7th Day Baptist Church) which was organized in 1708. 

Church records show that she withdrew from that church in 1754.  Quote "At a church meeting held at the church in Westerly on the 29th day of December 1754, present Elder Thos. Clark and approximately 22 other members.  Elder Clark, Geo. Stillman, Joshua Clark and Zacheus Reynolds made report that they, agreeable to their instructions from the church had visited the following members viz: Samuel Burdick, Jr., Hubbard Burdick, son of Robert, and his wife Tacy, Samuel Maxson and his wife Ruth, Ann Lewis wife of John, Jane West, Richmond Reynolds, Joseph Reynolds, Jr., Susannah Deake and Hubbard Burdick's wife, and they all declared that they had and did withdraw themselves from this church.  Wherefore this church doth esteem them to have broken covenant with this church and gone off from us.  December 29, 1754.

Note: These people all lived in the northwest corner of the Town and may have broke off to form their own church.  Hubbard Burdick's farm joined the Deake place.

James Kibbe 1675-1730

James Kibbe, son of Elisha and Rachel (Cooke) Kibbe, was born in Salem, Massachusetts, December 27, 1675, and removed to Enfield, Connecticut, with his parents in 1680/2.  He was married January 20, 1703, to Hannah Kelsey, 1675-1730?, a daughter of Stephen and Hannah (Ingersoll) Kelsey of Hartford, Connecticut.  The date and place of death of James is not known.  Hannah is said to have died about 1730.

Kibbe Genealogical Notes
In the Old Burying Ground by the Congregational Church in Wakefield, Massachusetts, is an ancient stone bearing this inscription:

"Here lyes ye Body

of Edward Keebe

Aged 97 years

Died November

1    1694"

On the left of this grave is that of Hannah Kibbe, a daughter of Edward Kibbe, who died April 28, 1695, aged 32 years.  On his right is buried Mary Hodgman, wife of Thomas, who died November 10, 1735, aged 95.  It is believed she was the eldest daughter of Edward.  Beyond this grave is that of Mary Hay, wife of Peter.  Marriage records of Reading or Redding, Massachusetts, of which this portion of Wakefield was once a part, show this Mary Hay to have been a daughter of James Kibbe, and therefore a grand-daughter of Edward.  Thus it appears that the Edward Kibbe buried at Wakefield is the Edward Kibbe who emigrated to the Boston area sometime around 1645, and set up a sawmill on the Muddy River in what is now Brookline, Massachusetts.

Source materials give the birth date of the emigrating ancestor as May 11, 1611, and his parents as Edward and Deborah (------) Kibbe of Exeter, England.  There is an obvious discrepancy between the birth date and age at death as marked on the gravestone.  Since we have no reason to doubt the parentage and birth record, this mistake may be attributed to the person marking the stone, or to the fact that the elderly tend to forget and add a few years to their age.

The wife of Edward Kibbe is said to have been Mary Partradge or Partridge whom he married in England.  By September, 1645, Boston records show that Mary was affiliated with the church there.  Births, baptisms, and deaths of children born to this couple was given in Boston and Roxbury records.  No death record has been found for Mary (Partridge) Kibbe.  It is probable that Edward did not move to Reading to live near his children until after his wife had died.

That Edward Kibbe was active in community affairs is indicated by some records of his service.  In 1662 he was appointed Clerk of Market, a position created, probably, to give the Muddy River area representation in Boston markets.  From 1666 to 1683 he served intermittently as Surveyor of Highways.  Edward and his wife are listed in 1674 as contributors to the fund for the second meeting house in Roxbury, Massachusetts.

Edward Kibbe--New England Colonist
Edward Kibbe is of great interest to me, first of all, because he was my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great (eight times) grandfather.  Furthermore, he was active as a minor official and thus exerted some influence in the early years of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.  The date of his birth immediately presents a conflict of data.  The Old Burying Ground of the Congregational Church in Wakefield, Massachusetts, contains an ancient stone inscribed (HANNA),

Here lyes ye Body

of Edward Keebe

Aged 97 years

Died November

1      1694

Thus he would have been born around 1597.  However, other sources (HOLMES, STILES, CRLA, SAVAGE, TIMES) give his birth date as May 11, 1611, in Exeter, England.  This difference is not easily reconcilable.  Errors may have occurred in several way; such as, difficulty in reading the old stone, the stone carver's error, or forgetfulness on the part of the subject, as the elderly sometimes add on extra years.  It seems preferable to adopt the May 11, 1611, birth date as valid.  From the above sources we also learn that his death is supposed to have been on April 3, 1693, when he was not quite 82.

At the left of Edward's grave (cited above) is that of a daughter, Hannah.  On his right is buried Mary Hodgman, wife of Thomas, Edward's eldest daughter.  Beyond Mary is the grave of Mary Hay, daughter of son James, and granddaughter of Edward Kibbe.  (HANNA) These graves add credence to the belief that this is the grave of Edward Kibbe in whom we are interested.  But, there is further conflict over the date of death.  SAVAGE state that his widow, Grizzle, had administration of his estate 15 August 1661.  It seems, however, that Grissell Fletcher was the wife of Henry Kibby (possibly brother of Edward) who died 10 August 1661.  Coupled with the fact that Edward's daughter Hannah was born in 1663 (HANNA), we will assume that 1661 is incorrect for Edward's date of death.

The parents of Edward Kibbe were Edward and Deborah (---------) Kibbe of Exeter, Devonshire, according to the various sources already cited.  While in England Edward married Mary Partridge in June 1639 in Exeter.  They emigrated to Massachusetts by 1643, when Edward was a resident of Boston, a sawyer, living at "Muddy River."  Two sources (TREE, SAVAGE) state that Edward Kibbe came from England in 1639 and one (STILES) that he came in 1640.  On November 29, 1645, Mary (Partridge) Kibbe joined the First Church of Boston (CRLA).  Both Roxbury and Boston records include births, baptisms, and deaths of the couple's children.  Roxbury is now part of greater Boston.  Mary (Paertridge) Kibbe lived until at least 1674, and probably some years later, but no death record for her had been found (HANNA).

The records show that Edward Kibbe was active in community affairs.  In 1662 he was appointed Clerk of Market, a position which probably gave the Muddy River area representation in Boston markets.  He served intermittently as surveyor of highways between 1666-1683.  In 1674 Edward and his wife were listed as contributors to the second meeting house in Roxbury, Massachusetts.  It is suggested (HANNA) that after his wife's death, Edward removed to Reading, Massachusetts, to live near some of his children.  Reading is in Middlesex County, north of Boston and near Wakefield.
