One single branch is all that is now left of this once far-spreading family,[53] and this only survives under a changed name. Its connection with the parent stock is not traced, and would have to be sought for in remote antiquity, as it has been seated in Cheshire for upwards of 600 years. "The early history of the Baskerville family is very obscure. No Inquisitiones post mortem were taken, as they held no lands directly under the Earl of Chester, and very few deeds relating to them have been met with."—Earwaker's East Cheshire. It is at all events certain that

>>> Sir John de Baskerville <<<, about the year 1226, received from Robert de Camville a grant of Old Withington, and that this estate has been handed down to the present day by twenty generations of his successors. John Baskerville, who inherited it in 1718, having married Mary, daughter and heir of Robert Glegg, of Gayton-in-Wirrall in the same county, took the name and arms of Glegg, ever since retained by the family.

Note that this is one of the better compilations of Northwood and early Hawksood materials. I had recorded some of this line but gotten sidetracked, so went looking for related materials and found the.

This is probably filled with errors, but I can’t bring myself to just toss it out completely. It is background material that I dug up while searching for the father of Grace Baskerville who married Edmund Gee around 1415 or earlier. Neither the Baskervilles of Eardisley, nor Sir Thomas Beaumont are the correct lines.

IN SEARCH OF THOMAS BASKERVILLE

….

Baskervilles of Pickthorn, Shropshire

In 1260 Juliana de Baskerville issued a release to

>>> Hugh de Baskerville <<< of a virgate of land in Northwood which Ysolda de Baskerville mother of the said Juliana and

>>> Hugh <<< held in the said vill. Winesses were Thomas de Upton, Walter Hakket, Robert de Bold, Thomas Botterell, Adam de Faintree, and Robert de Middleton.

In 1275,

>>> Hugh de Baskerville <<< received rent for a fee farm of land in Northwood. In 1293, Margery, widow of

>>> Hugh de Baskerville <<< released to Baldwin de Baskerville a tenement in and ouside the vill of Northwood which the said

>>> Hugh <<< enfeoffed to the said Baldwin. In 1295, Margery, formerly the wife of

>>> Hugh de Baskerville <<< released to Nicholas de Bireton, two acres of land lying in the fields of Northwood, one acre lying in the fields of Nortwood…. Among the witnesses was

>>> John <<< son of

Also, in 4 Edw. II , Nicholas de Byriton grants to John, son of Hugh de Baskerville of Nordwode, all his land in the said vill.- Witnesses: Sir Roger de Baskerville and Sir Hugh Fitz-Aer, Knights.

John, son of Hugh de Baskerville, was deceased in 10 Edw. II , for then Thomas, son of John le Baskerville, of Northwood, releases all his right in Northwood to John son of Thomas de Baskerville .- Witnesses: Peter de Overton, etc. The Grantee in this Deed seems soon afterwards to have reconveyed the premises to the Grantor, for life, with remainder to himself; but in 19 Edw. II he grants to "William le Persones, of Middulton, called Clerk, who had married his daughter Margaret, that messuage and land in Northwood, which Thomas son of John le Baskerville then held for life. And the said Tenant-for-life, in the same year, calling himself

176 STOTTESDEN.

Thomas, son of John le Baskerville, of Northwood, reiterates his former release in favour of "William de Middulton, called Le Persones, and Margaret his wife, daughter of John le Baskerville, of Eton Marschot.- Witnesses: Malcolumb de Harley, Peter Lord of Overton, Henry Blundel", etc.

Another Deed of 13 Edw. III closes this series in a way not intelligible, without further connecting evidence. Thereby "John, son of Roger de Baskerville, Knight, grants for two merks to Roger, son of William de Pykethorn, Margery his wife, and Roger their son, a place of land in Northwood, called Fellingleye, to hold for the longest of their lives.- Witnesses: Richard de Baskerville, Peter de Overton, Adam d'Arraz, John Boterel, Richard de Forde: dated at Lauton". [168]

I now return to say something of other Under-Tenants in Northwood and at an earlier period. In Michaelmas Term, 1266, Isabella, widow of William de Northwood, was suing Roger de Northwood, Reginald de Cherlee , Ralph de Arraz, John le Clerk, of Suthbury , Nicholas de Cherlee, Nicholas de Northwode, and Agnes le Warener, for her dower or thirds in several messuages or small parcels of land in Northwode. [169] Soon afterwards Ema de Norwod is suing Hugh Peche , under writ of mort d'ancestre, for half a virgate and seven acres in Norwood. [169] About this time Emma Paen, of Nordwud , gives to John de Langeberge, Clerk, an acre in Nordwud, for half a merk paid down and a ½d. rent.- Witnesses: Nicholas le Forcer, Ralph de Lawa and William his son, William de Stepple, John de Beaulieu , Hugh de Hwrthin. [170]

In June, 1269, Nicholas de Cherleye has a Writ of novel disseizin against Ralph d'Arraz and Walter de Baskerville, concerning a tenement in Stottesden; and in July following Hugh de Plessetis has a similar writ against Ralph d'Arraz, concerning a tenement in Norwode. [171] The latter person was also concerned in a suit about land in Northwood, in 1270. [172]

The following deed must belong to the fifth year of Edward II

[168] This Deed is endorsed with a memorandum by Adam Otteley, of Pitchford, stating himself to be kinsman and heir both of "Roger Baskerville and William Pykethorn", mentioned therein. The succession necessarily belongs to a much later period than I can here deal with.

, rather than to the fifth of Edward I , to which my authority assigns it. [173]- "Henry, son of Roger de la Wodehouse, grants to Sir Roger de Baskerville and Dame Joan his wife three acres in the fields of Northwod, bounded by lands of John de Baskerville, etc.- Witnesses: Sir Ralph de Arras: Sir Walter Haket, knights; Wydo Lord of Glasley; Geoffrey Lord of Uverton ; Richard Lord of Aston Boterel; William de Ribbeleye". The Deed passed at "Le Wodehous juxta Stottesden". Reserving a further account of the head branch of the Shropshire Baskervilles till I reach Lawton, I now pass to another ancient member of Stottesden Manor, viz.:-
