Stephen Simpson, T.D SIMPSON: RECORDS OF AN . ANCIENT YEOMAN FAMILY OF THE WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE 1 544 BY BREVET-COLONEL STEPHEN SIMPSON, T.D. Late Royal Field Artillery, Territorial Army. M.A., St. John's College, Oxford. D.L. of the County Palatine of Lancaster. PRINTED BY BEMROSE & SONS LIMITED, DERBY AND LONDON MCMXXII BREVET-COLONEL STEPHEN SIMPSON, M.A., T.D., D.L. PREFACE. N the following pages I have endeavoured to trace the history of my family, in order to discover who my ancestors really were, and not I in any way to establish a claim to Norman blood. With a common name like Simpson, it has been an extremely diflicult task. Anyone not accustomed to pedigree research is at once struck with the small percentage of people who know the Christian names of their great-grandparents. Many people are now taking a serious interest in their pedigrees, owing, no doubt, to the fact that the horizon of human interest has been widening everywhere, and that the love for the study of ancestry has developed with the general love of information, which is everywhere steadily growing. Increase of prosperity, too, makes a man desire to know some­ thing of his forbears. Pedigree hunting is not now a sign of pride and pretension, but is simply dictated by the desire to know whatever can be known. I have taken these pains, not for the present age, but for a future. Many things which were known to our grandsires are lost to us, and our grandchildren will search in vain for many facts which to us are most familiar. I must acknowledge that my success in collecting the various details I have recorded is due to the many kind £riends who have helped me, especially the following :-Sir Henry Farnham Burke, K.C.V.O., C.B., Garter Principal King of Arms, Heralds' College, London; Col. J. W. R. Parker, C.B., D.L., F.S.A., of Browsholme Hall, Yorkshire; the late Rector of Slaidburn; and the Vicar of Gisburne; also the numerous members of the family who have supplied me with information, and allowed me to inspect the family papers in their possession.

N an article on the subject of surnames, I find it stated that they were not known in England until after the Norman Conquest, and even then I· it took hundreds of years before the peasantry assumed them. They took them more or less by chance, and the numbers of Johnsons, Thom.sons and similar surnames go to prove how many began by simply adding " son " to their fathers' Christian names. The Scottish "Macs" and the Irish "O's" gained their surnames in similar fashion, for Macdonald merely means "son of Donald,, and O'Donne11 the same thing. · The surname Symson, Simson, Sympson or Simpson, is Simon's son. It is probable that the name was originally written Simison, i.e., with a long '' f " in f root of a small " s," the double " s " being intended to indicate a capital letter "S," in the same way that the families of ffarington, ffrench, ffoljambe, and others still use the double small letters instead of a capital letter. Later the long "f" became a "p," which is intrusive, as in Thompson. It is quite certain that the families of the name were not all of the same stock, and that numerous distinct families of Simpson sprang up in various parts of the country at different times. Of the Yorkshire Simpsons, one family is stated to have descended from Arch ii, a Saxon Thane, in the time of Edward the Confessor. He possessed the manor of Clint, and his descendants, living in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, called themselves "' de Clynt.,, A member of this f amity was Symon, son of William de Clynt, 1300. Symon's son came to be known as Symson. This family afterwards had their seat at Castle Lodge, Knaresborough, Yorkshire, and their Pedigree is recorded in Burke's Landed Gent,y. Another family lived at Foston Hall, in Yorkshire, and there are many others in the County. I now propose to treat in the f-0llowing chapters, of one of them, an ancient yeoman family, settled in Gisbume forest, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, for three centuries, and from which I am descended, ~ating back to the days of Henry VIII. • 1 CHAPTER II. 6i1Surne f o,e.t. ISBURNE forest, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, is a large tract of wild country, now thinly wooded, on the high ground north-west of G Gisbume.

  • The Story of a Man Called Daltone
    - The Story of a Man called Daltone - “A semi-fictional tale about my Dalton family, with history and some true facts told; or what may have been” This story starts out as a fictional piece that tries to tell about the beginnings of my Dalton family. We can never know how far back in time this Dalton line started, but I have started this when the Celtic tribes inhabited Britain many yeas ago. Later on in the narrative, you will read factual information I and other Dalton researchers have found and published with much embellishment. There also is a lot of old English history that I have copied that are in the public domain. From this fictional tale we continue down to a man by the name of le Sieur de Dalton, who is my first documented ancestor, then there is a short history about each successive descendant of my Dalton direct line, with others, down to myself, Garth Rodney Dalton; (my birth name) Most of this later material was copied from my research of my Dalton roots. If you like to read about early British history; Celtic, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Knight's, Kings, English, American and family history, then this is the book for you! Some of you will say i am full of it but remember this, “What may have been!” Give it up you knaves! Researched, complied, formated, indexed, wrote, edited, copied, copy-written, misspelled and filed by Rodney G. Dalton in the comfort of his easy chair at 1111 N – 2000 W Farr West, Utah in the United States of America in the Twenty First-Century A.D.

The remaining portion, based on Deansbiggin, was held of the barony of Kendale. After the Reformation, the township was divided between private estates, of which the main ones were Underley to the west of the township, progressively absorbing Deansbiggin and subsequently much of the town, the Lowther estate with no capital messuage, and Biggins to the south. These three estates grew throughout the nineteenth century, but all broke up in the twentieth, Underley alone continuing into the twenty-first, by which time the township was largely the property of small owner-occupiers. Manors. Kirkby Lonsdale Before the Conquest Thorfinnr held Kirkby Lonsdale as one of his twelve manors in Austwick. By 1100 Ivo Talebois held it as Baron of Kendal and gave the church with its land, amounting to perhaps three-quarters of the township, to the monks of St. Mary’s Abbey, York.1 At the dissolution it passed to the Crown and was granted in 1558 to the lawyer Thomas Carus of Halton near Lancaster who became a justice of the Queen’s Bench.2 He was succeeded by his son, another Thomas Carus, who held the manor in chief by one part of a knight’s fee, and 1 Rec.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.
