Pulteney or Poultney Family of Misterton, Leicestershire
Chuck Owens
I am trying to find out the ancestry of Sir Thomas Payne and his wife
Margaret Pulteney of Market Bosworth, Leicestershire, late 15th-early
16th century. According to secondary sources, Margaret's father was a
Sir Thomas Pulteney who may have been from Misterton, Leicestershire.
One Sir Thomas who was married to Ann Shirley is usually listed as
Margaret's father but Margaret may have actually been the daughter of a
Sir Thomas Pulteney who was married to a Rose (Lucy or ?), and who may
have been the other Thomas' father or uncle. I have examined three
different Pulteney wills, a Thomas from 1507, a Thomas from 1540, and a
John from the late 1400s, and I cannot seem to find any mention of a
daughter Margaret who was married to a Thomas Payne. Granted my
ability to read the handwriting of that time period is rather limited.
Any help, especially, if it is based on primary sources, would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chuck Owens

The will of Thomas Poultney who died on August 3, 1540, does not mention all his
children. He was married to Anne Shirley. This is the documentation I have on
Thomas Poultney:
J. Nichols - Antiquities of Leicestershire- Vol. IV Part I sub Misterton page
309:
Thomas de Pulteney married Anne daughter of Sir Ralph Shirley; by whom he had
two sons Francis, his successor and Thomas, from whom the later Earls of Bath
descended. He had five daughters; Elizabeth, Agnes, Roesia, Margaret and
Dorothy.
Sir Thomas Pulteney died in 1540.
He left a PCC will - PCC 10 Alenger. In the will he names his son[in-law]
George Sherard [husband of his daughter Rose Poultney] his sister Margaret and
his brother William Poultney. He also names his eldest son Francis Poultney and
his daughter Elizabeth Poultney.

who married Sir William Feilding, and whether or not she was a daughter of
the Thomas Poultney whose will was referenced in the previous
message. Although the writer notes that the will referred (among others)
to a daughter Elizabeth, the actual text of the will given later seems to
me to indicate that this Elizabeth was the daughter, not of Thomas, but of
his son Francis.
From the will of Sir William Feilding dated 15 Apr 1540 (PRO Catalogue
PROB 11/31, proved 29 Nov 1547), we know that his first wife Elizabeth was
dead and that he had married again and had another son by his new wife
Isabel as of the date of his will. If a daughter of the Sir Thomas
Poultney who died in 1540, then, Elizabeth would not have been mentioned in
that will, if she had died before 3 Oct 1539 when Thomas Poultney wrote his
will.
From the will of Sir William Feilding dated 15 Apr 1540, we also know that
he not only had taken a new wife, Isabel, but also had a son Faustine by
that new wife, from which one can infer that Elizabeth Feilding nee
Pulteney must have died at least before July 1539.
Can anyone on the list shed light, then, on just when his first wife
Elizabeth Pulteney died, and confirm whether or not she was a daughter of
the Sir Thomas Poultney who died in 1540 and Anne Shirley? A birth or
marriage date would also be a welcome addition for her.
Thanks in advance,

proved in August 1540. I can understand the handwriting in the will a
little better now from the transcript you have provided me. He doesn't
mention a daughter named Margaret so I'm wondering where the idea that
he had a daughter named Margaret came from. He does indeed mention a
sister named Margaret Brasbrygge and the question does arise whether
Margaret Brasbygge could have been married to a Thomas Payne earlier
and this was her second marriage.
I also have a copy of the will of a Sir Thomas Pulteney whose will was
proved in June 1507. He mentions a William Button _ of Misterton.
He also mentions a Thomas Pulteney. He mentions a William Sp_ or
Ashby? and a Johane Campion. He seems to mention a Margaret Roberts?
and a wife named Agnes. I'm not quite sure if he's the father of Sir
Thomas whose will was probated in 1540.
Any comments?
Thanks,
Chuck
Chuck Owens
I only know of two Sir Thomas Pulteneys, the one whose will was
probated in 1540 and the one whose will was probated in 1507. She
seems most likely to have been a daughter of the earlier Sir Thomas
Pulteney based on the dates.

Elizabeth Poultney married Twice. Her first husband was Thomas Andrew of
Charwelton, co. Northampton by whom she had at least two sons Edmund and Richard.
Her second husband was Sir William Feilding by whom she had three children:
1. Sir Basil Feilding married Goditha Willington of Barcheston co. Warwick
2. Barbara Feilding who married Richard Cave
3. Everard Feilding who left three sons Basil, Faustin and William who
married Anne Thwaytes [Starford co. York Feildings].
She is recorded by J. Nicholas in his Antiquities of Leicestershire Vol. IV
Part I, sub Lutterworth, page 288:
Sir William Feilding is buried in the chancel of Monks Kirby Church in co.
Warwick, under a raised tomb, whereon lies the effigies of a knight in armour,
with his wife by him, both at full length, with a lion at their feet, and this
inscription:
Here lyeth the body of Sir William Fielding, knight, late of Padoxe-Newnham;
which deceased the xxiv of Septmebre, MDXLVII. And Elizabeth his wife,
daughter of Sir Thomas Poultney, which deceased the viii of Septem. MDXXXIX. who had
issue two sons and one daughter.
So she died Sept. 8, 1539 according to Nichols. She is the daughter of Thomas
Poultney [died May 7, 1507] by his wife Roesia Lucy of Charlecote, co.
Warwickshire. This is shown by her lawsuit against her nephew Thomas Poultney [who
married Anne Shirley] and who was also executor to his grandfather's will as
his father John Poultney had predeceased his grandfather. John Poultney died
Jan. 20, 1491/2. He left an only son Thomas Poultney born in 1480 who married
Anne Shirley. When Thomas Poultney [father of John] died on May 7, 1507, his
next heir was his grandson Thomas Poultney:
Pedigree of Poultney from J. Nichols _ Antiquities of Leicestershire_ sub.
Walcote in Misterton Vol. IV part I page 319:
Sir Thomas Poultney, K.B. knighted 1483 died May 7, 1507 married Roesia,
daughter of Sir William Lucy of Charlecote, co. Warwick.
Page 309:
Thomas de Pulteney, who was Sheriff of Leicester and Warwick 1480 and 1493;
and at the coronation of Elizabeth, queen of Henry VII, was made a knight of
Bath. He died May 7, 1507; and by his will dated April 22, 1507 styles himself
of Misteron, and orders his body to be buried in the chancel of the White
Friars of Coventry, attended by 24 poor men, each in a gown, with a leopard's head
behind and before, and carrying as many torches. He also bequeathed Ł20
toward making the chamber in White Friars there, where he used to lie; and 6s. 8d.
to the bachelors of White Friars, to say a sermon in the church of Misterton;
to which he also bequeathed his best velvet gown with fur, and his other gown
of black velvet to make vestments.
Page 313:
The church in Misterton is dedicated to St. Leonard. The following arms
and inscriptions were noted by Burton in his history of Leicester:
A fess, double dancetty Gules, three leopards heads in chief sable: under
which is written:
Orate pro animabus Johannis Poulteney et Margarete uxoris, quondam patronorum
instius ecclesie.
Mr. Wryley adds to this Fig, 17, 18:
Orate pro animbus Tho' Poultney et Rose uxoris ejus.
Dorothie Poultney daughter of Thomas Poultney knight.
Page 315:
On the North side of the church at Misterton:
Pulteney impaling, Gules, seme of cross crosslets, three luces haurient OR.
Lucy.
Under it on a scroll, Thomas Pulteney - Roise Lucy
The Pulteney arms were quartered with Lucy, Walshe and Byron.
He left a PCC will - PCC 24 Adeane.
In this will he names his heir Thomas Poultney and his other grandson William
Poultney. He also named his Godson Edward Andrews.
This is the father and mother of Elizabeth Poultney who married (1) Thomas
Andrews and (2) Sir William Feilding. In a chancery suit later she sues her
nephew Sir Thomas Poultney [who married Anne Shirley] and both are identified.

Pulteney, esq., to hold for her life, and Rose is still thereof seised.
The manor of Misterton was held, as to one moiety, of William, bishop of
Lincoln, and as to the other moiety, of Thomas, marquis of Dorset, as of the fee
of Wynton, by a fourth part of a knight's fee.
The manor of Pulteney was similarly held. Thomas Pulteney died on 7 May last.
Thomas Pulteney is kinsman and next heir, namely, son of John, son of the
aforesaid Thomas Pulteney, knight, and aged 27 years and more.

Many times not all children were mentioned in wills in this period. The
information on Margaret Poultney being the daughter of Thomas Poultney and Anne
Shirley is stated by Nichols.

Thomas de Pulteney married Anne daughter of Sir Ralph Shirley; by whom he had
two sons Francis, his successor and Thomas, from whom the later Earls of Bath

You mention that Sir Thomas Pulteney (will probated 1540) had John
Pulteney, esq. as his father, and that John Pulteney, esq.'s father was
Sir Thomas Pulteney (will probated 1507). Here you refer to John's
wife as Rose Pulteney. Any ideas on what was the maiden name of Rose,
wife of John Pulteney, esq.?

Many thanks for a wealth of information on Sir Thomas Poultney (d 1507) and
his daughter Elizabeth who married Sir William Feilding.
The death date you provided from J. Nichol for Elizabeth Poultney, however,
presents me with a slight problem. If she died, as the tomb inscription
apparently indicates, on 8 Sep 1539, and if the copy of Sir William
Feilding's will in the PRO bears the correct date for his making his will,
on 16 Apr 1540 (and the writing of the copy is quite clear in this
instance), Sir William managed in only seven months to bury his first wife
(Elizabeth Poultney), marry his second wife (Isabel Bosworth), and see the
birth of a son of this second marriage (Faustyne Filding).
Is such fast work at a second family credible? I've found no evidence
among my somewhat limited resources to suggest any other mother for the son
Faustyne, and the will states clearly "I bequeath to my sonne Faustyne
Filding an hundreth pounde(s) to be paide and delyu(er)ed by his mother at
her Discression," which I have interpreted to mean that Faustyne was his
child by his then-living second wife Isabel. There are several references
to Faustyne and Everard as his younger sons, as well as to his eldest son
Basil.
Any thoughts on this would be welcome, as to whether the copyist who
produced the copy in the PRO made an error in the copy, whether a second
marriage would have followed the death of a first wife so quickly, what
likelihood of a premature child surviving, etc.?
Thanks.

Sir William Feilding died Sept. 24, 1547. This is stated on his monument
inscription. His PCC will was dated April 8, 1547, and probated in November 1547.
The will is PCC 49 Alen.
After the death of Elizabeth Poultney he remarried Isabel Bosworth and had
one son Faustin Feilding.
Shaw, William A. _Knights of England_ Vol. 2; London, 1906:
Page 49:
Knight Bachelor - May 24, 1533 knights made at Greenwich before the
coronation of Queen Anne Boleyn on the Sunday before Whitsunday (Pentecost) William
Feldynge
William Feilding left a will dated April 8, 1547. PCC 49 Alen. Proved
November 1547 in PCC. He names his parents as Sir Edward (anglicized Everard)
Feilding and Gillis Feilding. His late wife as Elizabeth Feilding and requests to be
buried next to her. He lists his current wife as Isabel (Bosworth). He names
Lutterworth as left to him by his late wife Elizabeth (Poultney) Feilding.
Names sons: Basil, Edward (Everard) and Faustin Feilding. Mentions land in
Todington as part of the marriage contract between William Willington of Barcheston,
Warwickshire and himself for the marriage of their children Goditha Willington
and Basil Feilding, his heir.
Nichols_ Antiquities of Leicestershire_ Vol. IV Part I, sub Lutterworth, page

issue two sons and one daughter.
I know this monument is still standing and the inscription is still visible
as a friend in Warwickshire went to Monk's Kirby church and took the
information off the monument for me again on February 19, 2002, so I could verify the
information provided by Nichols.
Faustin Feilding died in 1584. I have a copy of his IPM from the PRO. In it
he names his wife Margaret and two sons William and Anthony. William
predeceased his father. William Feilding left a will PCC 32 Butts dated February 21,
1583. His will was probated March 30, 1582. He leaves bequests to his father
Faustin Feilding and his mother and also his brother Anthony Feilding. He left
one large bequest of £20 to a friend Oliver Babington. He died sp. I have no
other information on this branch of the family. There is one reference to
Faustin Feilding in the Patent rolls:
Calendar of the Patent Rolls Elizabeth I Vol. VI 1572-1575, published by the
Public Record Office London 1973: page 445:
#2792 Nov. 4, 1575 John Flower, Faustin Feldinge, George Mackworth and

one); p.m. George Sherard.

Thanks very much again for sharing what you have on Elizabeth Poultney/Sir
William Feilding. I have in front of me a copy of Sir William Feilding's
will obtained from the Public Record Office (PROB 11/31, Name of Register,
Alen), which clearly begins: "In dei nomme Amen In the yeare of our Lorde
god a Thousand five hundred and Fourty the xvj daye of Aprill I William
Filding of Newnam in the parishe of Monkes Kirkby in the Comtie of
Warwike...". The gist of the contents is as stated in the previous
message The probate date according to the PRO index is as 29 November
1547, though I should note that I have some question marks in my own
transcription of the probate date as actually written in the copy. For the
date of writing given in the will, there is no space, erasure, insertion or
deletion visible, and no matter how I read it, it still comes out 16 April
1540. Do you or anyone know of another copy of this will, or has anyone
seen the original of this will, to confirm whether or not the copyist who
created the version in the Public Record Office made an error in the date?
As you can see, my issue is not with his date of death, or with the
references to various family members in the will, but simply with the
actual date when Sir William wrote his will, in light of the date in the
copy I obtained from the PRO, as it does have implications for the date of
his marriage to Isabel and the birthdate of his son Faustin.
Sorry to be so finicky!

I got out my copy of the will and can see where you are getting this from.
The copy I have came from microfilm many years ago and the will above it is from
1544. This would lead me to believe that there is a transcription error in
the copy we both have and this will was dated at least in 1543-4.

I'm very interested in the will of Sir Thomas Pulteney from 1509. I know this exchange took place a long time ago (2005?) but I'd be so grateful if someone could let me know the reference for the will if possible please? I've had a look at The National Archives and it's not immediately obvious. Thanks!
Hope to hear from you soon.
