BOSTON: D •.\VID CLAPP &: SON, PRINTERS. 1883. CoPYRIGI-IT, 1S83, BY \VALTER ELIOT THWING. INTRODUCTION. OF those w]10 have never undertaken n. work like this, few c.1.n realize what a vast nmount of research and patient labor is re quired properly to trncc out a Family Tree or Genealogy. It is not t11c work of a few mont11s only, but often occupies several years. It is only within a few years that public record~ of births, mnrring~s :i.nd deaths hal'e been properly kept, even in Ne,v England, nnd still in many parts of this country the keeping of such records is very impcrfoct, especially in the South and 1Vest. It is a matter of regret that thie_ important branch of history has been so much neglected, as a great deal of vnluable material is thereby forever lost. Those of our family who live in the South will underst:md this to be the reason why their records arc so meagre, for I ha,·e availecl myself of every opportunity at my commnnd to obtain all the information possible, and the result i$ contained in the following pages. • .A ,·illnge bearing the nam~ of Thwing lies forty miles cast of tl1e city of York, about which Rev. Edward Pa'yson Thwing, in his ~ Out-door Life in Europe,'' writes as follows : '' One little lmmlct, ten miles distant, wns my ~!ceca this ti~c, the town of Thwing. It was sought with the zeal of an :mtiquary simply, inasmuch as a volume bearing this humble monosyllable is in 1 4 INTRODUCTION. prcpnration by a kinsmnn. Stopping nt the rectory, my horse and driver were bouscd, for it wns raining hard, nnd I strolled out for n. wnlk to the venerable church nnd grnveynrd. At the ColJcgc of Arms I hnd learned about Sir Robert de Thwing, knight, Lord of Kilton Cnstle, 1237, and his descendants who were cngngcd with Edward I. in the wnrs with ·scotlnnd. Herc over the nltnr ~s a memorial window bearing the names of Arch- · bishop Lamplough ·and Baron de Thwing. l\Iural tablets record other names. The stone :figure of a priest holding n. sncrnmcntnl cup lies in the chancel, nnd there is a large baptismnl font which• is supposed to be seven hundred years old. The carvings of the stone porch are ,·cry clnbornte, ::md hernlclic insignia embellish the walls. The living is 900 pounds n ycnr. The population of Thwing is but 365, and no resident has been kn.own for years bearing this family name. The wolds, high open tracts, surround the village, and the fields show evidence of high cultivatio~- The cottages of the farm lnborers are one story, stone, thatched or covered with earthen tiles." The name is derived from the Danish Twinge, to force, mnstcr, subdue ; or a name perhaps given from dexterity in archery. The name ·has been spelt in many ways, as follows: Twinge, Twcnge, Twynge, Thwenge, Thwyngc, Thwcng, Thwingc, Thwing. As most of the family continue to keep the spelling ns our mutunl ancestor Benjamin Thwing, who died about A.D. 1672, wrote his name, I have concluded to adopt that mode of ijpelling in the genealogy of the American branches of the family, desig nating where another mode of spelling is used as far ns I can. Those who have dropped the tt H" in the name are in Springfield, '\Va.ltham, and l\iionterey, :Oiase. ; Barre, Vt. ; New York City ; Boone, Iowa; "\Vhitewater, 1V1S. INTRODUCTION. 5 The Cont of Arms, which I hn.vc placed on a previous page, ia thnt of the family in England, of whose history a· sketch is given on a subsequent page, but without la.ying clnim to either as belonging to the American branch of the family, because I cannot connect the English family and that of Benjamin Thwing, the first to bcnr our name in this country, though I have little · doubt that he was descended f~om the same stock. I have long wished to :find out his immediate ancestry, but my efforts to estab lish the connection have been hitherto unsuccessful. I hope that hercnfter it may be accomplished by another, if no; by myself. I have printed this historical sketch somewhat earlier than I had at first intended, in the hope of awakening an interest in mem bers of the family to become acquainted with the facts I_ now have, to rectify errors and furnish me with further information on the subject. It has been thought that a meeting of the difi"erent branches of this family would be of interest. Four of the family have al ready tried t~ bring about such a reunion, but so far without success. I sincerely hope that the sight of these records will stir the family to acco~plish what that effort has foiled to do. No doubt my book will be found incomplete, but I shall esteem it a favor if any omissions or errors arc pointed out to · me by those who find them. With regard to the matter of n.rranging the order and descent of generations and families, the plan adopted in this work com prises a full list of the children of each head of a family directly under his or her name. ,vhcrc the information concerning tl1C'sc children is small and their posterity not numerous, the whole record is generaliy gi,·cn at once; when otherwise, the name id ciesignate THE TWENGE FAMILY IN ENGLAND. THE first of the no.me mentioned in history is Sir ROBERT DE TWENGE, n. knight, and Lord of Kilton Castle, Cumberland County, England, about the year 1231. He is called a bold Yorkshire knight, n.nd put himself at the head of a. secret associa tion formed to resist the intrusion of Italian ecclesiastics into English bcne.ficcs under the aut}.lority of Papal "Provisions/' He had been deprived of his right of nomination to the one living or benefice he possessed, that of Luton, by a "Pro-rision," and the movement which he led was secretly encouraged by the Barons and the Clergy.· Threatening letters were addressed to the foreign priests; the nuncios and other officers of the Pope were seized and one was kil!cd; tl1e Pope's bulls were trampled under foot. The Pope Gregory IX. issued an angry bull (A.D. 1232) in reference to these excesses which continued for some months, and Henry III. was alarmed. Twenge went to Rome, not as a penitent, but to plead manfully the cause be had taken in ha.nd. He was the bearer of a remonstrance from the Earls of Chester, Winchester and other nobles. ~ The Pope listened to the reasonable plea, and Twengc obtained the acknowledgment of his right to nominate to his family living, and a declaration that the Pope would not again usurp the rights of the lay patrons. He was sent by Richard, Earl of Cornwal1, to Emperor Frederick, 8 TIIE TWENGE F.AJ\IILY IN ENGLAND. II. ( l 240), nnd with En,. I Ric1inrd arrived in Palestine, October, 1240. He was succeeded by his son .l\fARMADUKE, who espoused Emma., sister nnd heiress of Duncan Darrell, and was succeeded by his son ROBERT, Lord or Kilton Castle, who married Maud, the wido"t of Sir John de Okcton.

He was taken prisoner at the battle of" Lewes, and paid 700 marks for his liberty. In l 2V4 he had summons amongst the other great men of that time to repair with all speed to the king, and to afford him his advice touching the most important affairs of the realm.

In the battle of Sterling, Sept. IO, 1297, tho Eog1ish forces ,vcrc commanded by the earl of Surrey, nnd Crcssingham the English Treasurer. Io the account of the battle the hiqtorinn ~ays that Surrey still hesitn.tcd to cross the strenm which separated the two armies, but Cressinghnm the Treasurer passionately exclaimed: "\\·hy do we thus protract the war, and waste the king's treasures ? Let us fight as is our bounden duty.'~ Surrey, contrary to his own better judgment, yielded, noel gave orders for an immediate attack. Cressi~gham, nfong with Sir Marmaduke Twenge, a valiant and experienced soldier, led the vo.n. '\Vhen about one-half of the English forces had passed the bridge without opposition1 Sir Marma duke impetuously charged up hill with a body of heavy armed cavalry, for the purpose of dislodging the Scots from tbeir strong position. The consequence of this rash attack was fatal to the assailants, as the Scots, from their vantage ground, drove them headlong before them with their long spears. Sir William W allacc, who com manded the Scots, defeated and totally routed the English after a hard contest. Twenty thousand men arc believ ed to have fallen in the battle and in the flight. The completeness of the ruin of the English army is attested by one of its knights having gained immortality by cffect i?g a. retreat for himself and some others. This was Sir Marmaduke de Twenge, who, wl1en others spoke or throwing themselves into the river, with a small follow fog cut his way to the bridge and recrossed it. Bot the reco\"ery was of little avail to the rest of the army. The loss of the Scots was trifling. Sir Marmaduke de Twengc was left in command of Stirling Castle after this battle. In 129 8 the castle was taken by Sir William Wallace, and he seized Sir lfarmaduke de Twcngc at a. 10 TUE TWENOE FAl[ILY IX ENGLAND. conference. In the bntt1c of Bannockburn, Jnnc 24, 1314, the English had been totally dcfeo.tecl.

"Wclcomc, Sir lfarmadukc," said Bruce, to whom he was persvnnlly known ' u whose prisoner arc ..,·ou? " "Yours ' sir"' answered the knight. " I recei\·c you," replied the king, and retained hio1 in his company for a considerable time, treating him with the utmost courtesy and ultimately dismissing him, not only without ransom but loaded with gifts. He was summoned to Parl ia.rnent as a Baron, from Feb. 22, 1307, to Sept. 1 S, 1322. Ile married Isabel de Ross of Igmanthorpc, in the county of York. He died in 1323. Children: 1.

About the time ho became of age ho married and made a home for himself, as in the Book of Possessions ~e read that "The possessions of Benjamin Thwing in Boston" wero "One house and garden bounded with Sudbury streetc south~ west; William Wilson northwest and northeast; Joshua Scotto southeast."

He ·was admitted to be townsman, a.long with others, at the town meeting held lfo.rch 2 S, 1642. He was a joiner by trade, and a Proprietor both in Watertown and Concord, Mass. His wife Deborah was admitted to be a member of the First Church in Boston, Aug. 9, 1642, and he was admitted to the same church, Dec. 17, 1643 ; and their good example hos been followed by a majority of their descendants.
