Possible Origins for the Sheffield Plants

Possible Origins for the Shefﬁeld Plants

ASSESSING THE POSSIBILITIES FOR THE FIRST SHEFFIELD AREA PLANTS

October 1997. One of a series of Chapters by Dr. John S. Plant, Keele University, England, ST5 5BG.

his Chapter sets out Plant data which, with fuller study, might help to establish the likely ori- T gins of the ﬁrst Shefﬁeld area Plants. Though possible forefathers for Lawrence of Bakewell

and Francis of Buxton seem few, there are more possibilities to consider when trying to identify £¥¤§¦ the antecedents of the progenitor ¢¡ of the Duckmanton Plants. Two different schemes, in particular, are appraised in this Chapter. Possible schemes may be educed from such sources as data for Plants at Great Longstone, 15 miles SW of Shefﬁeld, as well as elsewhere such as further to the west near 17th century Staffordshire. As indicated earlier, Plants arrived, by 1725, at Duckmanton — some then travelled 10 miles NNW to Shefﬁeld, where they became those who have been called

the Plant’s Yard Plants — many of their progeny remained there, such as the Shefﬁeld shoemaker

£©¨ ¦ William (i.e. ¡ ) who was one of the closest Plants to Plant’s Yard by the times of the 1841 Census.

1The Plant surname is thought to have come into existence before the mid 13th century, perhaps ﬁrst near Essex and Norfolk (W.K.Plant (1990), Roots and Branches, 1, page 4). 2W.K.Plant (1990), Roots and Branches, 1, page 4. 3The 1984 version of the IGI for example lists that Eleanor Plantagenet married John Beaumont at Lancaster in 1339. It also includes the Lancaster births of Maud Duchess of Bavaria Plantagenet (b 4.4.1339) and Blanche Duchess of Lancaster Plantagenet (b 25.3.1345), both to Henry Duke of Lancaster Plantagenet and Isabel Duchess of Lancaster Plantagenet.

4The Latin word planta has two meanings, one being the sole of the foot. 5The other meaning of the Latin word planta is shoot for propagation, cutting. 6The Latin word genista means broom(-plant). 7Geoffrey Chaucer (?1341-1400). 8The surname Salt is said to be locative and to have derived from the village of Salt in North Staffordshire. The rarer Staffordshire surname Wedgwood may have derived from a single ancestor from the nearby village of Wedgwood. 9The word ramified means ‘sent up shoots’ and it may be compared both with the Latin word planta meaning ‘shoot for propagation’ and the Welsh word plant meaning ‘a child’. 10This is based on analyses of the 1842-6 Death Indices, the 1666 Hearth Tax returns, and earlier records, by David Hey, Professor of Local and Family History, Sheffield University. 11W.K.Plant, Roots and Branches. 12International Genealogical Index, ibid. 13Table 15.1 lists evidence of 124 pre-1700 Plant records in the parish of Leek. 14Table 15.1 lists evidence of 119 pre-1700 Plant records within the boundary of Prestbury parish, given that this boundary also envelops Macclesfield and Gawsworth. 15.1.

15It should be noted however that some parishes are missing from the IGI on which Table 15.1 is based. 16This was William of Orange, b 1650, reigned 1689-1702. 17Historical change, or fluxion, was inspired for example by the ‘method of fluxions’, or Newtonian calculus, which was invented by the great Cambridge scientist from Lincolnshire, Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727), who also provided monumental theories of mechanics, dynamics, gravity, and optics. 18Before Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle of quantum theory (1925) all the great theories of Physics, from Newton’s to Einstein’s, had been deterministic allowing calculations of future, as well as past, behaviours. Thus, it was around 1700 that Newton’s Laws of Motion for example (i.e. his Principia of 1687) firmly supplanted earlier beliefs in astrology; cf. Sir Roger Penrose, The Emperor’s New Mind: concerning Computers, Minds, and the Laws of Physics, Oxford University Press, 1989. 19W.K.Plant (Dec.1990), Roots and Branches, Vol.1, pages 4-6. 20A sizeable fraction of these records are late 17th century baptisms. 21W.K.Plant (Dec.1990), ibid. 22An estimate of 22% arises from Table 15.1 after adjusting the value (37%) given by that Table for the estimated number of Plants elsewhere in the UK.

It may be noted that of Bilton Ainsty would seem to have been more likely the age of the Thomas Plant baptised at Great Longstone (NE Derbyshire) in 1641 (Figure 15.4) than the one who was baptised there in 1648. This

derives from the supposition that, in the data of Figure 15.5, married at Bilton Ainsty in 1663 and he would have been rather young (15) even for those times if he had been baptised at Great Longstone in 1648 instead of in 1641. 28This Richard Plant may have been (?back) in Great Longstone for a second marriage in 1645. It is unclear, however, whether this was the same Richard as the one who later married a Dorathy at Bakewell in 1669 (Figure 15.3) — it can be added that a Richard and Dorothy Plant had children at Leek in 1670 and 1682. 29

Figure 15.1 shows another possible baptism for at Radcliffe in Lancashire. The year of the baptism at Radcliffe (1641) is the same as that at Great Longstone and so both of these recorded baptisms are similarly well suited

to the apparent age of . Furthermore Radcliffe is also a similar distance from Bilton Ainsty, being about 50 miles to its WSW whilst Great Longstone is about 50 miles to its SSW. 30It is no more than the fact that Great Longstone is 15 miles west of Duckmanton that forms a basis for supposing the

‘return’ of grandson William from mid-Yorkshire, which is some 40 miles away, to NE Derbyshire and it needs to be added that this return was to a different location, 15 miles away, in NE Derbyshire. 31There were Roman baths at Buxton (Aquae Arnemetiae) and it may not have been unknown to the Romans that there were coal outcrops nearby on Axe Edge.

37It was mentioned in Chapter 14 that the available information could be taken to indicate that this Lawrence’s son Samuel had a connection with Bakewell’s chapelry of Chelmorton (near Buxton) around 1710-15. 38It should be noted that some additional information in Figure 15.3 leaves some uncertainty about whether there may have been another Samuel in Bakewell parish. The Bakewell records contain a marriage for a Samuell just 11 years after the baptism of a Samuell to Lawrence. 39The accounts for the ‘Attercliffe group’ of ironmasters (near Sheffield) show that their trade was starting to extend to Cheshire around 1700, with consignments being sold to the Cheshire market towns of Chester, Knutsford, and Nantwich in the first 15 years of the 18th century. Certainly, by 1749, the adjacent Staffordshire township of Leek was indicted in the quarter sessions for not repairing ‘a great carriers’ road ... chiefly used by packhorses who carry salt out of Cheshire ... and bring back malt ... upon a modest calculation above 100 packhorses loaded with salt pass weekly ...’ — this route led to Chesterfield, near Duckmanton, though it passed through Hartington and Matlock some distance to the south of the Plants at Great Longstone.

¢¡ The known possibilities for baptism are at Gawsworth and Leek. The possibility at Gawsworth is for

1696 (Figure 14.4(d)). The small parish of Gawsworth, which contains Gawsworth Hall, is surrounded by the parish of

¢¡ 

Prestbury (East Cheshire). There are also three possible baptisms for at Leek (Figure 14.4(e)) dated 1698, 1702

¢¡ and 1706. The latter date, for example, would imply that would have been aged 19 at the time of his 1725

marriage to Ann Webster at Ault Hucknall, at which he is described as ‘William Plant of Duckmanton’ (Chapter 9). The

¢¡ earliest known possible baptism, at Gawsworth, would imply that would instead have been aged 29. 32 CHAPTER 15. POSSIBLE ORIGINS FOR THE SHEFFIELD PLANTS

41The Victoria County Histories of England: Staffordshire, Vol.20, page 192. 42This historically important coalﬁeld extended 3 miles east to west and 10 miles from Lilleshall, just NW of Sheriff Hales, to just south of Coalbrookdale. 43Abraham Darby came from Bristol to Coalbrookdale and rebuilt the then-derelict blast furnace with brick and giant bellows to successfully smelt iron ore with coke in 1709. It was nearby at Horsehay, 6 miles SW of Sheriff Hales, that his son Abraham Darby II and his partner established that coke was commercially superior to charcoal for the smelting and forging of iron (The Industrial Revolution in Shropshire, Barrie Trinder, 2nd Edition, 1981. 44Fire bricks had earlier been imported to East Shropshire from Stourbridge (Barrie Trinder, The Industrial Revolution in Shropshire, ibid).
