Re: HATTON OF MARYLAND

[William Good]

I just came across the thread for this topic on the GEN-MEDIEVAL list
from last July.

There is a common misconception that Francis Scott Keys & F. Scott
Fitzgerald descend from the Hattons of Maryland. They do indeed descend
from Richard, son of Luke Gardiner, husband of Elizabeth Hatton
(1635-1702), but Richard was Luke Gardiner's eldest son by his first
wife Elizabeth Morris who died in about 1663.

I have also identified the paternal grandfather of Thomas Hatton,
Secretary of Maryland, and his brother Richard. He was William Hatton
of Hellesby, Frodsham, Cheshire, who died in 1611.

Dear William ~

Thank you for your good post. Much appreciated.

For your interest, I've copied below my current file account of a good royal line for the immigrant, Margaret Domville, of Maryland, wife successively of Richard Hatton and [Lieut,] Richard Banks.

I remain uncertain as to the maternity of Joan (or Jane) Stanley [Gen. 15 below].

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah

THOMAS STANLEY, K.G., 1st Lord Stanley, married JOAN GOUSHILL (desc. King Edward I) [see STANLEY 13].

He fought at the Battle of Blore Heath in 1459. In the ensuing Parliament, he was attainted with other Yorkists. He married (1st) before 12 Nov. 1465 (date of grant) JOAN BEAUMONT, widow of John Lovel, Knt., Lord Lovel and Holand (died 9 Jan. 1464/5), and daughter of John Beaumont, K.G., K.B., 1st Viscount Beaumont, 6th Lord Beaumont (descendant of King Henry III), by his 1st wife, Elizabeth (descendant of King Edward I), daughter and heiress of William Philip (or Phelip), K.G. They had one son, William, Esq. In 1465 the king granted the Castle, manor, and lordship of Skipton in Craven, Yorkshire to him and his wife, Joan, and to the heirs male of William. His wife, Joan, died 5 August 1466. When King Edward IV returned from his temporary exile in 1471, William joined him with 300 men at Nottingham. He was subsequently appointed steward of the household of the Prince of Wales. He married (2nd) before 7 Dec. 1471 ELIZABETH HOPTON, widow successively of Roger Corbet, Knt., of Moreton Corbet and Shawbury, Shropshire (died 8 June 1467) [see LUCY 13] and John Tiptoft, K.G., 1st Earl of Worcester, 2nd Lord Tiptoft and Powis (beheaded 18 October 1470), Lord High Treasurer, Chief Justice of North Wales, Constable of England, Lord Steward of the Household, Chancellor of Ireland, Lord Deputy of Ireland, Lieutenant of Ireland, Chamberlain of the Exchequer, and daughter of Thomas Hopton, Esq., of Staunton-on-Arrow, Herefordshire (descendant of King Henry II), by Elizabeth, daughter of Walter Lucy, Knt.

By an uncertain wife or mistress, he had two daughters, Joan (or Jane) (wife of John Warburton, Knt.) and Katherine (wife of Thomas Cocat). By an unidentified mistress, he had one illegitimate son, Thomas (living in 1517). In 1461 he was appointed Chamberlain of the county of Cheshire, Constable of Flint Castle, and sheriff and raglor of the county. In 1464 he was appointed clerk and prothonotary of the justice of Chester and Flint for life. In 1465 the king granted the Castle, manor, and lordship of Skipton in Craven, Yorkshire to him and his 1st wife, Joan, and to the heirs male of William.

SIR WILLIAM STANLEY was found guilty of treason for his support of Perkin Warbeck [see YORK 13.vi] and beheaded on Tower Hill 16 Feb. 1494/5, and was buried at Sion. His widow, Elizabeth, Countess of Worcester, died 22 June 1498.

I can't believe I found this post! I ref. Mr. Good's article on Freepages to prove my lineal descent to Margaret Domville! Her daughter Mary is my direct ancestor. Then to see Mr. Richardson's comments! I have a friend who has all five of his books, so I'll be going to her house and she'll be helping me do more research!! Thank you both so much!!
