Thomas Whitfield & Mildred Manning [Dymoke Question]

What I am searching for, and not having much success, is a answer to a
question I have about achievement [shield] of arms as located in the
Church of St. Nicholas, Worth, Sussex, England for Thomas and Mildred
[Manning] Whitfield. [cir. 1630] The last two arms on the Manning side
are
Kirkener, and Dymoke with a Star of cadence, 2nd house. I have a photo
and a rubbing of this shield of arms.

I have a copy of the wall chart that John Brooks Threfall was kind
enough to send me and he has the wife of Eerasmus Kirkener as being
married to Agnes Dymoke, [d.abt. 1567] heir to her father.
Her first husband was Robert Waller, 2nd was Erasmus Kirkner, [d.
1567] Chief Armorer to King Henry VIII. As the shield was placed in
1630, this being 37 years after the death of Agnes, I am searching
for sources to nail down the reason for the Dymoke arms being included
as part of the heraldic achievement for Thomas Whitfield and Mildred
Manning. Mildred being the daughter of Henry
Manning, and Catherine Kirkener, Henry being keeper of the Royal Park
at Greenwich, Knight Marshal to King Henry VIII, Edward VI and Queens
Mary & Elizabeth I.

But, when I look at the coat of arms for George Manning, brother to
Henry Manning who married Catherine Kirkener, the last two quarters:
Kirkener, and Dymoke are left out. I understand this to mean that
George was not entitled to quarter them.

http://tinyurl.com/7xapqhn Manning sources.

So, the question remains, Who was Agnes Dymoke / "relicta" Robert
Waller, and who was her father? For this person to in fact be a Dymoke
heiress, there is a very small time window that she must fit in.

A good Manning pedigree is located in Waters Gen. Gleanings in
England, Vol. 2, between pages 1322 and 1323. The Whitfield pedigrees
are located in the same Vol. on pages 1352 - 1353.

http://tinyurl.com/7ak3k6a Lincolnshire Pedigrees

Lincolnshire Pedigrees, page 1202 are start the Dymoke pedigrees. Page
1204 is where I found the notation that Lionel Dymoke had 3 daughters,
but Douglas Richardson has informed me that Lionel Dymoke had only 2
daughters. "Scrivelsby, the home of the champions: with some account
of the Marmion and ...etc. By Samuel Lodge" http://tinyurl.com/72gupaz
seems to dispute DRs allegation that Lionel Dymoke had only 2
daughters. I am NOT making the claim that Agnes Dymoke / Waller was
the daughter of Lionel Dymoke as the 3 daughters seem to have been
married to: Hopton, Skipwith and Goodrich.

If this shield of arms is in error, then we must know. If it is in
fact correct, then we may have another "Gateway", or possible Royal
line to pursue.

You cannot deduce that because quarterings are not used, there is no
entitlement to them. If there is an entitlement, they are used
sometimes, but not always, depending on the situation.

Furthermore in Tudor times many non-heiress arms are used as if they
were the arms of an heiress. This is particularly prevalent on the
Garter stall-plates in St George's, but must have been common
throughout armigerous society. That does not mean that the arms were
not in the descent, for they probably were, but the mother was not an
heiress. This was a new society, founded on the ruins of the society
which destroyed itself in the Wars of the Roses. Anyone who could
claim a connection to earlier magnatial families, even if not an
heiress connection, was pleased to show it in heraldry.

The heralds at this time were not overscrupulous about heraldry or
genealogy, though as one moves through the Tudor period they became
more careful, but remember that the Churchill Dukes of Marlborough
were said to descent from Julius Caesar, and there we are in the early
C18!

In this case if Henry Manning married a Kirkiner heiress, why should
his brother George bear her arms?

Lionel Dymoke only had two surviving daughters. Feel free to post the

As I stated, I did NOT believe that George Manning had rights to the
same set of arms.

"I understand this to mean that George was not entitled to quarter

You have a question? I suggest you read Sir John Rudstone's will

reads as follows:
"To either of the doughters of the late Lyon Dymoke, my wifes
uncle, a black gowne."

The wording of this will suggests that Lionel Dymoke then had two
living daughters (hence the word "either"). Had there been three
daughters, he would have used the word "all" or "every." Likewise the

Dymoke daughters, not three.

Given this evidence, your theory about Erasmus Kirkner's wife, Agnes,
is not viable.

I have in my will and trust: "If either of my children come to

hold water to me. You may be correct, but all the sources I have found
show that all 3 of his female children married. Also, I did not see
where Sir John Rudstone named the children LIVING, so his will is open
to interpretation.

So I ask you, is this information in error, and who is "Hopton"?

But, to bring this tread back to my original question:

Who was Agnes who was first married to Robert Waller and 2nd to

In addition to the 1531 will of Sir John Rudstone, here is an abstract
of the Chancery suit that I pointed out to Michael (alias Sangreel)
which indicates that Sir Lionel Dymoke left two surviving daughters:

In the period, 1519–21, John Goderyke [Goodrick] of Kirkby, Gent., and
Anne his wife, and William Skipwith of Ormsby, Esq., and Alice, his
wife, sued Anne, late wife of Lyon Dymmoke, Knt., father of the said
Anne and Alice, in Chancery regarding the detention of deeds relating
to lands, rents, etc. in Mareham-on-the-Hill, Horncastle, etc.,
Lincolnshire.

The source for the above information is: National Archives, C 1/447/43
(available online at www.catalogue.nationalarchives.gov.uk/search.asp).

Sir Lionel Dymoke died 17 Aug. 1519, and was buried at Horncastle,
Lincolnshire. He left a will dated 15 April 1512, codicil dated 17
Aug. 1519, proved 29 Nov. 1519 (P.C.C. 23 Ayloffe). His widow, Anne,
left a will proved 8 May 1521 (P.C.C. 9 Maynmaryng).

Michael can order and download a copy of either or both of these wills
from the National Archives website. Good luck in your sleuthing.

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah

This thread has got off on a useless tangent about Lionel Dymoke's
daughters. What you seek is identification of Catherine (Kirkner)
Manning's ancestry -- who are the parents of her apparent mother
Agnes (Dymoke) (Waller) Kirkener? If the Dymokes had modest
collateral branches she could have been an heraldic heiress in a
strict sense without being so in broader social or economic terms.
One basic question is -- were the Dymokes a narrow or bushy family at
this time? Are there plausible known branches of the same family
which she might have come from (whether or not she were actually an
heraldic heiress)? Of course (as Alex points out) the arms may have
been displayed even without her being an heiress -- such liberties
were not uncommon. Even if this were the case the use of the arms
does support her belonging to the Lincolnshire Dymokes somehow, since
the impropriety of heraldically displaying an entirely false
connection I think would have been received rather worse than the
impropriety of 'heiress-or-not?'. Finally, is it possible that the
last quartering might be entirely misidentified as belonging to
Dymoke and perhaps represents something in Erasmus Kirkener's own
(Continental) ancestry?

Michael has noted that it is claimed in print that Sir Lionel Dymoke
had three daughters, but only two surviving daughters have been
identified. Michael wants to know if his Agnes (Dymoke) (Waller)
Kirkener is possibly the third daughter of Sir Lionel Dymoke, as he
has found indication that Agnes might be a Dymoke heiress. This is a
perfectly good question.

I've provided Michael evidence which indicates that Sir Lionel Dymoke
only had the two surviving daughters, excluding Agnes. A better
starting question at this point I think would be to ask Michael how
certain he is that the arms attributed to the Dymoke family on the
Whitfield monument are really those of the Dymoke family. If the arms
actually belong to another family, then this thread on the Dymoke
family really would be useless to him.

Michael raised the question about Agnes (allegedly Dymoke) in a
private e-mail to me. it was a perfectly good question. I told him
that Sir Lionel Dymoke left two surviving daughters, Alice (wife of
William Skipwith, Knt.) and Anne (wife of John Goodrick, Gent.). That
still stands. I should hasten to add that there was no daughter of
Sir Lionel Dymoke married to a Hopton (at least that left issue),
although that has been alleged in print as Michael shows.

A more important issue at hand is that I haven't seen any evidence
presented that Agnes was even a Dymoke. The presence of the Dymoke
arms on the Whitfield monument doesn't necessarily mean that Agnes
herself was a Dymoke. Even if correctly identified, the Dymoke arms
may belong to another lady in the Whitfield family tree.

Exactly who claimed she was a Dymoke? We need to see the evidence!

The place of this coat in the achievement for Mildred (Manning)
Whitfield, following a quartering for her maternal grandfather,
Erasmus Kirkener, means that, heraldically, the coat must pertain
either to a maternal ancestor of Kirkener or to his wife. I think it
less likely that the quarterings would be displayed out of order,
than that a quartering would be improperly included for someone who
was not an heraldic heiress.

I did suggest in my last post that the coat could be Continental and
belong to one of Kirkener's maternal ancestors (i.e. not Dymoke at
all). I now wonder whether it is possible that the coat attributed
to Kirkener is not his at all, and both 'his' quartering and the
alleged Dymoke one comes instead from further up the Manning tree?
Kirkener was a foreigner, a tradesman, and is not recorded the
Harleian volumes of known grants of arms. Just because Mildred's
Manning father's brother didn't display those two quarterings doesn't
mean that they couldn't have come from Mildred's father's ancestry.

Perhaps Michael can post a photo or description of the complete
Whitfield-Manning achievement?

Thanks John for posting this information. Much appreciated.

As for Agnes (_____) (Waller) Kirkener, I suspect when the evidence is
presented, we will see that there is nothing to prove that Agnes was a
Dymoke. We may also find that the arms of the Whitfield monument may
even have been misidentified.

I want to know who first said she was a Dymoke and what evidence they
used. Does anyone want to answer that question?

Checking online, I see one online database gives the following source
for Agnes as a Dymoke:

WorldConnect database: "The Van Wart and Warner family Mayflower
connection" of Michael Warner, (mdel...@msn.com).

Is this the same person as Michael Warner who posts here as sangreel?
Could we be going in circles or what?

The coat of arms as shown in the Church of St. Nicholas, Worth,

shown for Dymoke thus:

Nat: you ask the very important question: "Finally, is it possible
that the last quartering might be entirely misidentified as belonging
to Dymoke and perhaps represents something in Erasmus Kirkener's own
(Continental) ancestry?"

You are very correct Douglas. That file was the result of my departed
mothers research and I posted it to seek help as I was at the time new
to genealogy, but as my mother requested in her will that i finish her
work I am doing just that. The orig, file was posted over 10 years
ago and as I am now retired I can give it my full attention.

None of the Waller arms resemble Dymoke in any way.

I may have a break here as the arms in this citation 'seem" to match
Dymoke in may way. I will further my research along that line. Thank

This is interesting! A chancery suit naming "Agnes Dymok of Antwerp"
in assocation with 'an unknown Dutchman' in 1533/8 may well be
germane here.

Searching PRO for Dymokes, especially Dymokes in London at this time,
brings up another chancery action referencing a "John, armourer of
the Tower" [sic, no surname] in connection with a "John Dymoke,
citizen and grocer of London," and others, in 1530 (C 241/283/2).
There is one other chancery ref. to John Dymoke, citizen & draper of
London, in the late 1520s, and another undated reference probably to
the same man.

This *could* be an urban or cross-channel mercantile family with some
connection to the Lincolnshire family, whose daughter Agnes married
the armourer Erasmus Kirkener.

I'd still like to see the achievement. The Threllfall passage on it
just quoted by Doug Smith uses slightly inaccurate terms to
describe what I would assume is the Manning (including quarterings)
sinister half of a Whitfield-Manning impalement -- unless it is
actually a separate achievement of Manning impaling Kirkener (plus
?Dymoke quartering).

Very interesting indeed...

There is also mention near the same time period and place of a Sir
Robert Dymok, late treasurer of Tournai. Presumably he is the one in
the same Robert Dymoke, Champion, who died 1545

Although apparently there was a family of Dymok drapers in London as
early as 1401 when one John Dymmok was mentioned as deceased.

13 Feb 1401 (Henry IV) Westminster

"Alexander Fetherstanhalgh of the county of Northumberland, esquire,
for not appearing before Robert Cherlton and his fellows, justices of
the Bench of the late king, to answer a plea that he render 10 l. to

Dear Michael ~

Thank you for posting a copy of the modern Whitfield chart which
displays "the shield of arms of Thomas & Mildred (Manning) Whitfield
in the church of St. Nicholas, Worth, Sussex, England 1630." Much
appreciated.

Checking around on the internet, a picture has been found online of
the floor slate for the tomb of Thomas Whitfield, Esq., and his wife,
Mildred Manning, in the church of Worth, Sussex. This picture may be
viewed at the following weblink:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/flambard/2524306543/in/photostream/

As we can see, the floor slate only displays the arms of Whitfield
impaling Manning. There is no other "shield of arms" depicted on the
floor slate. But even if there was, the slate stone would be absent
any tinctures (colors) for the alleged other family quarterings.

Assuming the larger shield of arms does exist, without the tinctures,
it would be impossible to identify the alleged arms of Dymoke as being
those of Dymoke, as the arms, two lions passant crowned, not only
belongs to the Dymoke family, but to also several other families,
including Merefield, Felton, and Harewell.

This morning I spoke with my good friend and colleague, Jim Terzian,
who is the resident expert on all things heraldic. His "expectation"
is that the larger shield of arms found on Michael's chart is a modern
creation and does not come from the floor slate of the Whitfield tomb
in the Worth church.

In other words, the "shield of arms" on the chart Michael has copied
for us can not be used to develop a reliable pedigree of the Whitfield
or Manning families. But ... even if the "shield of arms" does
exist, without the tinctures, one can not identify the supposed arms
of Dymoke as being those of the Dymoke family.

Hopefully Michael can provide additional information to prove that the
larger shield of arms, fully tinctured, does exist in the Worth,
Sussex church. If not, I'm afraid it's sour grapes.

Is there perhaps a second achievement in the church? Otherwise why would
Threlfall have written (as quoted by Doug Smith earlier in this thread):

"On the tomb of his [i.e. Erasmus Kirkener's] ganddaughter, Mildred
(Manning) Whitfield, in the church at Worth, Sussex, is his coat of arms
impaled with the Manning arms. Next to his in the quartering are the arms
of his wife's family. His arms resemble not one of the several Kirchner
arms of Germany which are illustrated in Siebermacher's Wappenbuch. He
apparently merely assumed these arms for himself, and, having no sons,
there was never any occasion to register them in later generations. There
is no record of such arms in England, according to Burke's General Armory
or Paworth's Ordinary of Arms. As for the arms of his wife's family, they
are the same as the Dymoke family of Lincolnshire, but there is no other
evidence of her identity and the arms may be the same only by
coincidence."

Threlfall's paragraph is not all all consistent with the simple Whitfield -
Manning impalement on the tomb slab as pictured online. If it is unclear
what achievement Threlfall is talking about, it is clear that he was seeking
to identify quarterings in some sort of authentic achievement. He's
obviously not talking about his own published rendering of the arms! So,
what was it based on?

Michael (or someone who has the book) needs to go back to Threlfall's work
to see what other sources he could possibly be describing for arms allegedly
belonging to Erasmus Kirkener and his wife Agnes.

According to the modern chart which Mr. John Brooks Threlfall sent
Michael Warner, the chart claims that there is a "shield of arms" for
Thomas & Mildred (Manning) Whitfield
"in the church of St. Nicholas, Worth, Sussex, England 1630."
However, all that is on the actual slate floor tomb for this couple
are the arms of Whitfield impaling Manning. No massive shield of
quartered arms.

What I think has happened is that someone about 1900 created an
elaborate shield of quartered arms to be displayed on the modern chart
but improperly labelled it as being a "shield of arms" taken from the
church in Worth, Sussex. On this modern chart, someone likewise
stated that Erasmus Kerkener's wife, Agnes, was a Dymoke. But no
evidence is cited to support that statement.

I hasten to add that if the larger "shield of arms" should exist, and,
if it is on the slate slab covering the Whitfield tomb, it would
surely have no tinctures on it.

What is a dead giveaway here is that no mention is made by anyone of a
stained glass window or a table tomb/effigies in the Worth church,
which window or table tomb/effigies might show tinctures (colors) for
the various arms. Rather all we are told is that the shield of arms
is taken from a "memorial" to Thomas Whitfield and his wife, or that
the "shield of arms" is found in the church. No window or table tomb/
effigies equals no tinctures.

I note that Mr. Threlfall makes mention of a Harleian manuscript which
he says contains a reference to the Kerkener arms. But this
manuscript would not be the same thing as the alleged "shield of arms"
in the Worth church.

Without tinctures and definitely without far more information, it is
impossible to identify the one alleged set of quartered arms, two
lions passant crowned, as being for the Dymoke family. Without
knowing the tinctures, these arms could belong to one of several
families.

As far as I can tell, the allegation that Erasmus Kerkener's wife,
Agnes, was a Dymoke is utterly without foundation. Hopefully
additional information can be supplied which will resolve this matter.

So, I ask again, COULD this be the arms of Dymoke? And, if it is in
fact Dymoke, of what line did the arms descend from? Would a person
who had the title of V.Countess knowingly allow a coat of arms to be
used IF they were in fact NOT hers?

Waters in his well written book Gen. Gleanings in England, Vol II,
between pages 1322 and 1323 show Margaret, daughter of Henry Manning

Douglas, lets leave the Lional Dymoke question for another time. The
Lincolnshire pedigrees show 3 daughters and the time frame SEEMS to
match, but I will accept that it may be fact that he had only 2
daughters and the V=pedigree is incorrect. I have many errors in the V-
pedigrees that can be corrected by a little bit of research, but for
this one, except for your interpretation of a word I can find no other
source for his only haveing 2 daughters. If you have one, and without

ST. MARY CRAY:
[10 Vis. Co. Kent, anno 1619. [Pedigree of Manning.]

KEVINGTON: is a manor and seat in this parish, now vulgarly called
Kebingtown. (fn. 8) This estate was, for some generations, the
residence of the Mannings, a family of good account in this part of
Kent, who took their name from a town so called in Saxony, (fn. 9)
from whence they came very early into this kingdom. In the reign of
king Henry IV. John Manning (fn. 10) was settled in Cowdham, his son
of the same name was also of that parish, and died anno 14 Henry VI.
leaving by Juliana his wife, daughter and heir of Richard Brockhill,
relict of William Wallys, one son, Hugh Manning, who was of St. Mary
Cray, and married the daughter of Sir William Brandon, kinswoman to
Charles duke of Suffolk, by whom he had two sons, John, who settled at
Downe, from whom descended the Mannings of Downe, Halsted, and
Westerham; and Richard, who continued at St. Mary Cray, and had three
sons; of whom Richard, son of Thomas, the eldest, is said, in his
epitaph, to have been of Manning's-hall, the old family seat. He lies
buried in this church with the rest of this family.

The Heraldic Visitation of Kent, taken in the year 1619, gives the
arms of Manning, Gules, a cross patonce between four cinquefoils or.
Notwithstanding which it appears by their monuments and grave stones
in this church, which was the burial place of the family for many
generations, that the Mannings of this parish bore the cinquefoils in
their coat of arms slipt; those of Westerham bore, A chevron between
three cinquefoils slipt.

Thanks for this reference.
I had already known that Maud (Dymoke) Hopton, was one of the three co-heiresses of Anne Cresnore, the first wife of Robert Dymoke of Kyme and of Scrivelsby, co Linc; Knt Banneret. They were not co-heiresses to their father, as by his second wife Anne Sparrow he had yet another daughter, and two sons who lived.

I also knew that this Maud d.s.p. as your source again confirms.

But I had not known the name of her husband. Since Arthur married his second wife Anne *by* Nov 1514, this means that Maud is quite likely the eldest of the three co-heiresses

Since Robert Dymoke was "aged 9" in 1470 when his father was beheaded, this makes Maud born between 1479 and 1502 to be at least 12 by her marriage date and then dead by 1514.

Her other two sisters, by the way are both ancestral to Princess Diana.

I am trying to trace the Mowbray estate after William de Berkeley.

In January 1483 Parliament passed an act that gave the Mowbray estates to Richard, Duke of York and Norfolk, for his lifetime, and at his death to his heirs, if he had any. The rights of the two co-heirs at law were extinguished; William (Viscount) Berkeley had financial difficulties and King Edward IV paid off those debts. Berkeley then renounced his claims to the Mowbray estate before parliament in 1483.

On 15 January 1478, in St. Stephen's Chapel, Westminster, when he was about 4 years old, Richard, son of Edward IV, married the 5-year-old Anne de Mowbray, 8th Countess of Norfolk, who had inherited the vast Mowbray estates in 1476. Because York's father-in-law's dukedom had become extinct when Anne could not inherit it, he was created Duke of Norfolk and Earl Warennne on 7 February 1477. He was created Earl of Nottingham on 12 June 1476. When Anne de Mowbray died in November 1481 her estates should have passed to William, Viscount Berkeley and to John, Lord Howard. In January 1483 Parliament passed an act that gave the Mowbray estates to Richard, Duke of York and Norfolk, for his lifetime, and at his death to his heirs, if he had any. The rights of the two co-heirs at law were extinguished; Viscount Berkeley had financial difficulties and King Edward IV paid off those debts. Berkeley then renounced his claims to the Mowbray estate before parliament in 1483.

Of course, Richard, being one of the two Princes in The Tower, perished. But what happened to the Mowbray estate?

By 1541 a large part of the Mowbray estate (the Vescy lands) was in the hands of the Percys, Dukes of Northumberland, but how it passed from William Berkeley, via Richard, Duke of York, to the Percys still puzzles me.

Can anyone fill in the gap?

Dear Michael ~

Great work. I'm glad that you located a picture of the other
"monument" for Thomas Whitfield, Esq., and his wife, Mildred Manning,
in the church of Worth, Sussex which displays the larger shield of
arms. Thank you for posting a weblink for a picture of this
monument. It was good to have it confirmed that the larger "shield of
arms" actually exists.

Thanks also for posting a corresponding list of the quarterings for
Margaret Manning, Viscountess Bindon, published by Aubrey in 1838.
The last Manning quartering listed for Margaret Manning by Aubrey is
"Sable two lions passant Or." These are supposedly the very arms
claimed by Threlfall and the wall chart to be the arms of the Dymoke
family.

The Dymoke arms, however, are: Sable, two lions passant argent crowned
or [Reference: Genealogist 4 (1880): 19 (1562–4 Vis. Lincolnshire)].

As you can see, the two sets of arms do not match. As such, this
evidence appears to remove the Dymoke family from the Manning-Kirkener
family pedigree.

Assuming the lions are crowned (as indicated on the Whitfield shield
of arms), you may possibly have a Harewell descent. The 1612
Visitation of Essex indicates that the Harewell family arms are:
Sable, two lions passant, crowned or. However, if the lions are not
crowned, then these arms would neither be Dymoke or Harewell.

If you look at the drawing of the arms in Threlfall's Whitfield book
(following p. 28), you'll see that the lions in the quartering
indicated to be Dymoke are in fact crowned. There is no mention of
tinctures, of course, but this portrayal does not agree with the
quartering of Viscountess Bindon mentioned above - which is likely in
error in its description of this particular quartering, in both
omitting the crowns and mis-stating the tincture of the lions.

There is one interesting difference in the arms in Threlfall's line
drawing which is not apparent in the picture of the arms which Michael
has posted. The supposed Dymoke quartering quartering in the line
drawing has a star in the upper left corner - a feature which is not
mentioned in any description of the arms of Dymoke of Lincolnshire
that I've seen. If the rendering is accurate, that might suggest that
the arms are in fact those of a different family.

Doens't the mullet (star) simply indicate cadency (specifically,
descent from a 3rd son?) Or does that not apply here?

While the crowns on the lions may have been omitted by Aubrey, it is
doubtful he got the tinctures stated wrong. He doubtless wrote down
exactly what he saw on the painted wood panels. He saw gold lions on
a black field. If he had seen silver lions, you would have indicated
as such.

Even so, there is no way to tell when or who painted the arms on the
Whitfield monument. You can't assume the tinctures on the Whitfield
monument are correct and the tinctures described by Aubrey for
Viscountess Bindon are wrong. It would be better to say that they
differ from one another, until you have evidence to show which version
is correct.

A more important point is that there is no reason to suppose that the
last set of quartered arms for the Viscountess Bindon belong to the
Dymoke family, or that they belong to the family of Erasmus Kirkener's
wife, except that such a claim was made on a wall chart about 1900!
The supposed Dymoke arms can just as easily be the arms of Erasmus
Kirkener's mother or grandmother, as they can be for his wife. This
point was overlooked by Threlfall and by the person who created the
Whitfield wall chart. And, if Aubrey has correctly described this set
of arms, it does not match the known arms for the Dymoke family.

As far as I know, there is no evidence in play which indicates the
maiden name of Agnes, wife of Erasmus Kirkener.

Joe,

My copy of "Heraldry Illustrated...etc", printed 1897 with over 700
engravings states:
Plate 28
Distinction of Houses:
First House, 3rd male,a Mullet, but it also has a Mulled for the 3rd
house, first male child.
I have sent a letter last week requesting a better picture of the
achievement from the church in worth Sussex to determine if in fact a
Mullet is on the Coat of Arms. Today I also sent a letter, and may
take a boat ride to the college of arms in London to seek further
information on the achievement of Margaret Manning Howard, Viscountess
Bindon. I feel the college of arms should be able to set the matter
right. I was able to blow up the picture i posted on my tumbler
account and the crowns are in fact golden, but I will wait for a
further enlarged picture to prove the case as to the "mullet"
question.

Cheers,

Michael

Looking at the Thomas Whitfield monument I see that it was placed
1631.
As to the silver lions crowned or., You have a good point. Why color
the lions silver if they should be or?
I can assume that the college of arms will be able to set the matter
to rights.
We will have to wait for a reply or my trip there later next month.

Please notice that the Arden coat of arms for Nicholas Arden of

M. Manning has a Mullet as well, but Red.

Threlfall's comments on this issue (Whitfield book, p. 117):

"The Visitation pedigree of the Manning family has [Hugh Manning]
married to the aunt of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, that is, a
daughter of Sir William Brandon. No documentary evidence of this
marriage or any relationship can be found. Probably there was some more
remote relationship that gave rise to the legend. If true, she would
have to have been one of the two Margarets, daughters of Sir William and
Elizabeth (Wingfield) Brandon, and there would have been a royal lineage
thru the Wingfields."

The claim below (from Hasted's History and Topographical Survey of the
County of Kent) that Hugh Manning married a daughter of Sir William
Brandon comes from this Visitation of Kent.


Comments by Gary Boyd Roberts in Royal Descents of 600 Immigrants
(2008), p. lxxviii:

"Could Hugh John, named in the 1491 probate of Sir William Brandon, be
Sir William's son-in-law (husband of the perhaps deceased Margaret
Brandon the younger?) and identical with Hugh (son of John) Manning."

Yes; he would also be too young to be a father of Agnes. It would
have to be his father John who would be the right age to be a father

This is part of a long biographical encyclopedia entry on Steven van
Herwijck, the medallist of that cool medal (I wasn't aware of
Tudor-era medals struck for regular folks like shown in that
catalogue); and the whole text says it was van Herwijck who died at
London between 1565 & 1567 (not Maria, just one in a list of folks
whose medals he struck in his last sojourn there). For the
masochistic among you, this whole volume (and dozens more) can be
downloaded from the website of the Academie Royale de Belgique:

I see you've got a will for this Maria Dymoke; she and that John are
obviously not the parents of Agnes K, but we knew that was maybe a
generation off. We still don't know if the circle of this Utrecht /
London John Dymoke is barking up a tree anywhere near the right
planet (let alone forest). But it is theoretically possible that
those arms *could* be for some sort of Dymoke, since we've identified
Dymokes in the right places and circles that seem to intersect with
Kirchner & Waller.

You know, I was thinking about that.

We're often chided for being obsessed with royal descents. Here, in
Erasmus Kirchner, is a pretty damn interesting ancestor -- much more
so than most of the grandchildren of the peers who duked it out at
Bosworth -- and probably even more interesting than the Mountjoy kids
who got to be tutored by Erasmus (the other Erasmus -- Desiderius
Erasmus of Rotterdam). I would very much like to have met someone
who was involved making something like this:

(I know, ridiculously long URL, sort of gives it away)

Actually this one was made on the continent and presented to Henry
VIII, but his own team probably got involved making similar stuff.

I bet they threw good parties.

I have the same "good feeling" about the connections of this Dimock
family, merchants in London who were traversing the continent with
regularity being connected to Kirkeners and Manning family. Figuring
out how this Dimock family is connected to the Dymokes of Scrivesbly
is another matter entirely.

I hadn't really read about my ancestor Erasmus Kirkener previously; I
agree he is much more fascinating that "another" knight or soldier. I
wish it was possible to learn more about his ancestry and origin, but
the prospects of that seem slim indeed.

This extract is from _Genealogical Gleanings in England_ by Henry
Fitz-Gilbert Waters. Threlfall's abstract (p. 81 of Whitfield book) of
Agnes Kirkener's will gives this person as "cousin Susanna Lynde" and
itemizes a large number of bequests to her. The first witness of the
will is John Lynde, vicar of East Greenwich. The third is William
Borman, probably the same William Boreman alias Hinde to whom the
Kirkener property was sold in 1593, as mentioned in the link below and
in Threlfall's Whitfield book on p. 82.

If the name really is "Susanna Lynde" (I'm reluctant to distrust the
reading by Henry F. Waters), there could be a connection with the family
of Simon Lynde of London, England, and Boston, Massachusetts, whose 1597
Geneva Bible is still in the hands of descendants. Simon Lynde was a
son of Enoch Lynde. Enoch, born about 1585, was a resident of London
who "was a merchant engaged in foreign trade, and was for some years
connected with the postal service between England and Holland...,"
according to _The Diaries of Benjamin Lynde and of Benjamin Lynde, Jr_
(available as a Google book), p. v. Of Enoch's arms, this book says
(pp. iii-iv), "The arms borne by him, as engraved upon his seal and
elsewhere, suggest the probability that the family came originally from
the Low Countries. These arms are nowhere recorded in England, and
differ materially from those of other families bearing the name of
Lynde, while they are almost identical with those granted in Holland to
the noble family of Van der Linden, as recorded in the College of Arms
at the Hague, a branch of which family is said to have emigrated to
England at no very remote period, possibly during the religious
dissensions of the sixteenth century."

For more on Enoch Lynde, see
http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I3197&tree=Nixon,
which identifies him as a shipping merchant in the Netherlands.

If the correct reading in Agnes Kirkener's will is "cousin Susanna
Hinde", then there might well be a connection between Agnes's numerous
bequests to cousin Susanna Hinde and the later sale of the Kirkener
property in East Greenwich to William Boreman alias Hinde, locksmyth.

Agnes's will bequeaths to cousin Susanna a great deal more than to any
of Agnes's children or grandchildren: "the round bed whereon now I lie,
with the uppermost featherbed with the best coverlid that now lyeth upon
the little bed, a blue blanket, a white Spanish blanket and a kersey
blanket with the curtains which now are about the bed. Item, to my
cousin Susanna three pair of flaxen sheets and three pair of towen
sheets. Item, I give her more two long table cloths, one of diaper and
the other plain, two dozen of new napkins plain, ..." and towels and
plates and dishes and platters, and "one brass pot," etc., etc.

Then not far from the time of the probate of this will, the property and
house containing these many, many items is sold to William Boreman alias
Hinde of East Greenwich, locksmyth. But if all of this is true, then
why in Agnes's will is her cousin called Susanna Hinde but the witness
is William Borman, not William Borman alias Hinde?

I note that Sir William Boreman's Foundation, a charity of the Drapers'
Company, is still in existence, granting "financial assistance to young
people who are ordinarily resident in Greenwich and Lewisham." Sir
William Boreman, Clerk of the Green Cloth to King Charles II, died in
1686, I believe. He had a brother Robert Boreman, D.D., who died in
1675 at Greenwich.

Yes, according to Threlfall's Whitfield book, pp. 79-81, Leonard
Geball/Gyble/etc. of East Greenwich was a nephew of Erasmus Kirkener,
inferred from the fact that Erasmus willed "to Leonerd Geball my kinsman
my second best gown," and then in 1569 Leonard willed "the cassock that
was my uncles's" to William Mighell, gentleman, the first of the two
overseers named in this document. (Threlfall identifies William Mighell
as Erasmus's grandson, but the grandson would have been a boy in 1569.
I think instead that this William Mighell, overseer, was Erasmus's
son-in-law of that name, who died testate in 1585, father of the
grandson William Mighell. Incidentally, this grandson was involved in
the 1593 sale of the Kirkener property in East Greenwich to William
Boreman alias Hinde, who by John's hypothesis above might be the husband
of a daughter of Leonard Geball/Gyble).

Leonard Geball/Gyble could be a nephew by blood of Erasmus Kirkener, a
son of Erasmus's sister. Alternatively, he could be a nephew by blood
of Erasmus's wife Agnes, but this seems less likely.

Leonard Geball/Gyble's 1569 will bequeaths "the house that I now dwell
in" and another one to his wife Mabel "for her natural life, then the
same two houses to Susanna my daughter & to the issue of her body..."
Note that this is Susanna, not Susan. (Erasmus and Agnes had a daughter
Susan.)

So when Agnes Kirkener refers to "cousin Susanna Hinde" (if that is the
proper reading), she could be referring to her late husband's sister's
granddaughter. Unfortunately, that would not be a blood relative (or
spouse of a blood relative) of Agnes and thus wouldn't help us identify
Agnes.

I have obtained a pdf of Agnes's 1591 will. Nat and I agree that the
correct reading is "cosen Susanna Hinde." (Waters was right.) You can
see the dot of the 'i' in Hinde, and the name is definitely different
from the last name of the first witness, the vicar John Lynde. Further,
the first letter of cosen Susanna's last name matches well with the
first letter of the last name of the second witness, Jacob Helder.

Hi, my interest is in William Boreman - witnessing the will and the 1593 purchase of the Kirkener property are the earliest mentions I've found for him.

From The Armourer and His Craft By Charles John Ffoulkes, page 125:
Boreman, W., also called Alias Hynde. 1599-1609. (Appointed armourer at Greenwich, 1599. Will dated 1645.)

In 1607 he was granted the office of King's Locksmith and in 1638 he was paid for changing the locks at Whitehall and St James' Park.

He was buried at St Alfege, Greenwich, on 13 Jul 1646. An inscription at the church:
Gulielmus Boreman Armig. Qui cum Reginae Elizabethiea Regibusq. Jacobo et Carolo (decursis LX. Annis) fidelissime servisset, Animam Deo pacate reddidit ultimo die Junii, Anno salutis MDCLVI. Aetatisque suae LXXXII.
Recumbunt hic pariter Jana conjux ipsius probatissima, Amborum Filiae Susanna et Jana. Hoc insusurrant omnes Posteris. “Quod fumus, eritis.”

I don't if Jane was his only wife or who her family was and I haven't found the will mentioned in Ffoulkes's book. As far as I can tell, one of his sons was Sir William Boreman.

Does anyone have any more information on him and (stupid question time) does the alias Hynde mean that Hynde was his family name but for some reason he's using Boreman?

Thanks

I've seen alias used in two ways during this period.
One is where a person changes their name because of a stipulation in an inheritence.
For example a childless maternal uncle requires the change in order to inherit his estate.

The other is where a person is illegitimate, so one name would be his birth mother's the other his birth father's.

I have stopped further searches for information as to the Dymoke question as it relates to Manning / Whitfield, for now as the cost is getting out of hand. I feel VERY strongly that the Dymoke link will be solved one way or another.

I have moved onto the Arden link in the Whitfield / Manning pedigree. This coat of arms is also shown in these links:

From J. B. Threlfall's Henry Whitfield book, p. 157:
1] James Brampton .... married Joan _____, perhaps about 1400. She was living
in 1411, as the following Husting deed shows. However, Harleian Manuscript
1432, a pedigree chart, shows only that he married Alice Arden, daughter and
coheiress of Nicholas Arden of Shipton in Oxfordshire. Either he had
another wife, Alice, or there is an error and Joan was nee Arden.
2] 3 October 1408 - James Brampton, son of William Brampton, lately citizen and
fishmonger, and Joan my wife, have granted to Alexander Farnell, tailor, and
Agnes his wife those lands, shops, solars, etc. which lately we had jointly
by the feoffment of William Askham, alderman, in a lane of Saint Michael's
of Crooked Lane as per a charter of 1408. (Husting Roll 136:17 [Guildhall
Library])
3] 1 June 1411 - I, James Brampton ... have granted to Alexander Farnell, ...
my brewhouse tenement _The Lamp on the Hoop_ .... provided also that Joan my
wife, if she should survive me, shall have reasonable dower from the said
brew-house. (Court of Husting Roll 138, Item 75)
etc.

In this connection we may note that about 1283 Sir Geoffrey de Bracebridge was seneschal or steward of Manchester (Whalley Coucher Book, p. 42), about 1311 Geoffrey Chetham was seneschal (Booker's Didsbury, 109), in 1316 Nicholas de Arden was capital seneschal (Hibbert-Ware, Foundations of Manchester, iv. 88), and as such they would preside at the court leet. In 1316, Thomas le Mareschall attested a deed {L. and C. Hist, and Geneal. Notes, vol. i., p. 35); in 1318, Henry Boteronde was propositus of Manchester {L. and C. Antiq. Soc, iv. 216); in 1324, Thomas le Marchal de Mamecestr attested two deeds (Booker's Birch, Cheth. Soc, 192, 193); in another deed he is styled Tho: Marschall {Mamecestre, 434); in 1344, Richard, son of Thomas le Mareschal de Mamcester, attested two deeds {Birch, 194, 195); in 1375, Henry le Marshal de Mamcester attested a deed {Birch, 201); in 1379, William le Mareschal held a plot of land in Deansgate, and a burgage in Manchester {Mamecestre, 587).
