PREFACE.

The South Lincolnshire Family of Hunnings was a fairly typical one of the middle class. They were for many centuries landowners, and held a good position in the County. They resided in Algarkirk and Fosdyke and inter-married with the W el bys and other leading local families. Like too many other Lincolnshire families, who made that County their home, times in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries told hard against· them, for the County suffered severely, not only from the ,vars of the Roses: but even more so from the rule of Henry VIII, who hated the County because the inhabitants let him know, they not only did not approve of his conduct towards his first Queen, but detested his brutal robbery of their beloved monasteries, and his cruel overthrow of their religion. The Parliamentary Wars completed the ruin of a large number of the old landowning families, who in very many cases became farming tenants of land they had previously owned, or they had to migrate to London and enter into trade, or went to America, where they formed a God-fearing and industrious population, who frequently named the towns they formed after the places they had left and loved so well in Lincolnshire. What has been England's loss has been Canada's and the United States' gain. When we lose sight of the Hunnings of Algarkirk in the seventeenth century, there can be little doubt that they settled at Holbeach and Whaplode in the first instance, and soon after­ wards a member of the Holbeach branch, Edward Hunnings, went to live at Moulton. His family soon afterwards left Moulton and went to reside at Boston, where members of it held many public posts. From the Boston branch the Hunnings of Tottenha1n are descended. For nearly a century the Hunnings family has died out in Lincolnshire for want of males. The only known repre­ sentatives on the female side are the Clarkes, of Snaith, York~hire, formerly of The Goddards, Moulton; the Fosters, of Moulton and Aldershot ; Mrs. Price, of Spalding~ descendant of the late John Tatam, of Moulton. There are other descendants of John Tatam, but none reside in Lincolnshire. W. E~ F. Aldershot, September 14th, 1912.

NOTES ON THE HUNNINGS FAMILY, OF ALG.ARKffiK IN THE COUNTY OF LINCOLN.

PART I. The Huning, Honing, or Hunnings family, who probably derived their name from the parish of Huning in Norfolk, may certainly be ranked as one of the older Lincolnshire families, having been resident in the neighbourhood of .Algarkirk, in the Holland division of the county, from at least the time of Edward II, until the early part of the nineteenth century. · In the seventeenth century the family appears to have gradually moved from .Algarkirk and Fosdyke, and, so far as Lincolnshire is concerned, divided into three branches: the Holbeach Family, the Whaplode Family, and the Moulton Family. The latter family left lfoulton in the next century and went to reside at Boston, where they took a leading part in the municipal and other public affairs of that borough. In the next century the family left that well-known eastern county seaport and went to reside in London. This branch is now a very numerous one-a skeleton pedigree will be given from information furnished by one of the family. The Holbeach and Whaplode branches, so far as I can ascertain, are extinct, through the failure of male heirs. The last male being John Frotheringham Hunnings, a solicitor, who was born at Holbeach in the year 1789, and died at Donington in South Lincolnshire in the year 1823, leaving four daughters by his wife Susannah (Procter), whom he had married in London (St. Martin-in-the-Fields) in the year 1812 :- .Ann Saunders Hunnings, who married Charles Hanslip, of London, solicitor, at Holbeach. Dorothy March Hunnings, who married William Simpson Clarke, of "The Goddards," Moulton, a captain in the South Lincolnshire Militia. Susannah Mary ij:unnings, who married, at Holbeach, Thomas Foster, of the l\ilanor House, Moulton.· Margaret Elizabeth Hunnings, who married Newcome Rogers, of Grantham, surgeon. John Frotheringham Hunnings, through the marriage of his grand­ father, Thomas Hunnings, of Whaplode, with .Anne Newcomen, of .Authorpe, in the county of Lincoln, claimed royal descent. This marriage took place at the parish church at Surfleet, co. Lincoln, on the 1st January 1751, but I have been totally unable to ascertain the reason of its having taken place in a parish, with which neither fa.milies were in any way connected, nor is it believed any member of either family resided there at the time. B 2 NOTES ON THE HUNNINGS FAMILY. This royal descent-eight lines from Henry III and Edward I-was first pointed out to me by the Rev. W. G. Dymock Fletcher, F.S.A., a well known authority and writer on royal descents, and is given in the appendix to these Notes. . There is another branch of the Hunnings family to which I s4ould here like to call attention, that of London and Sufiolk, which during the early Tudor period rose to wealth and position, and which I believe were connected with the Algarkirk branch of the family ; for the reasons I have given in the account of that "stem." For over four centuries the Hunnings had their principal seat at Algarkirk, holding properties at Kirton and Fosdyke, but like too many of the old Lincolnshire families they had to part with their estates during the troubles of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. They gradually migrated from the Algarkirk and Kirton district into the parishes of Holbeach and Whaplode, in the Elloe division. In these two places the family became somewhat numerous, and spread into Moulton parish, where members of the Hunnings family had lived two centuries previously. The first mention of the name of Running I have met with is in the Pipe Rolls, in the year 1176 (23 Henry II):- Co. Salop. De placitis Bertranni de Verdun et sociorum ejus. Hunningus redd. comp. de xxs pro habenda recognitione versus Warinum Senem In thesauro liberavit et quietus sit. Vol. 26, Pipe Roll Soc., p. 38. Whether this Hunningus was an ancestor of or in any way related to the Hunnings family of Algarkirk it is impossible to say, all we can speak with any certainty is that the name of Hunnings is rarely met with, that in the days of the early Plantagenet kings several of the great Shropshire families owned large estates in Lincolnshire, and married into Lincolnshire families. liay it not under these circumstances be probable that a men1ber of the Shropshire family migrated with some noble family as a military retainer, or even in some fiduciary position in relationship with some of the large manors or estates. The Hunnings family does not appear in any of the Heralds' Visitations for the county of Lincoln, nor were they of high enough rank for any genealogist to trace their descent through the time of the war of the Roses ; indeed, few families, even of the highest rank in the kingdom, can satisfactorily trace their pedigree during that dark period of English history-they have to be content with many "missing links " i~ the family tree, or rely only on the early Heralds' Visitations. The first member of the family we meet with residing in South Lincolnshire was John Hunnyng, of Algerkirke, and "Senicla," his wife. This was in the year of 11 Edward II (1317-1318) when John Hunnyng of Algerkirke and Senicla his wife were deforciants in a suit in which Richard son of Sarra de Welleby claimed 6 acres of NOTES ON THE HUNNINGS FAMILY. 3 land in Multon against John Hunnyng of Algerkirke and Senicla his wife, William Prest of Spalding and Nichola his wife, Matilda and Margaret daughters of Athelard Welleby. De Banco Rolls, 11 Edward II, m. 337. It would appear that Senicla, the wife of John Hunnyngs, was a daughter of Athelard de Welleby. . The next member of the family of whom we find mention is Alexander Hunnyne~ who was bailiff of property at Kirton (near Boston) in 47 Edward III (De Banco Rolls, 47 Edward III, 452, m. 337). He, like John Hunnyng, must have occupied a good position in the district. In the More collection of charters is a deed dated 13 Richard II :­ " Doms John de Warre miles to Alicia late wife of Alexander Hunnyng, Rendeltoft, 4 acres for 7 years, rent 20s." There is a seal attached to this charter. This John de Warre was lord of Swineshead. From the reign of Richard II we find frequent mention of the family of Running residing at Algarkirk and the adjoining parishes of Fosdyke and Kirton. The names of various members of the family are of con­ stant occurrence, either as parties to or witnesses of deeds relating to land and houses in the locality until the eighteenth century. One is inclined to think a considerable number of the family must from time to time have been lawyers, and as such to have had not only business but social relationship with most of the leading South Lincolnshire families-they had with the Welbys, the Pulvertofts, and Pinchbecks. Their social position certainly appears at those times to have been a good one, and the widow of Alexander Running married the lord of Swineshead. Johanna Hunnyng, the daughter of Simon Huning of Fosdyke married a Welby, and there is no disputing the Welbys were in those times the most influential family in the Elloe division of Lincolnshire. And not only could the family, as will be seen, indulge in a chancery suit, but by will made in 1553, Edward Hunnings of .A.lderkirke we learn, had a " swan mark," a no mean honour in those days. The wills of members of the Hunnings family, both in the principal registry in London and in the district one at Lincoln, all point to the family being a prosperous one, either following the law or farming their property in South Lincolnshire. The names of members of the family appear from time to time as jurors on Inquisitions Post Mortem, and also on the jury rolls as living at Algarkirk. To a deed (in the possession of the Earl of Warwick) dated at Algar­ kirk St. Margaret, 19 Richard II (1395), we find Roger Pulvei:toft, Thomas Welby and John Hunnyng as witnesses. The deed was a demise of a meadow at Fosdyke from Thomas son of Richard de Pulvertoft to John son of John Raynaldsone of Fosdyke. By a gaol delivery return of 17 Henry V, we find Thomas Honnynge of Algarkirk was returned as a juror. In the Additional Charters (8402) there is an interesting deed in Latin-it is dated at Algarkirk, Tuesday after the feast of St. Cuthbert, 2 Henry VI (1424). By it John Cock of Boston and Richard Perry of Fosdyke conveyed to Lambert Haning some land at Fosdyke, lying 4 NOTES ON THE HUNNINGS FAMILY.

In the Record Office there is a deed dated 8 Henry VI, conveying land at Algarkyk to Lambert Hunnings. A John Hunnings and a William Hunnings are witnesses. In the Earl of Warwick's muniment room at Warwick Castle is a deed (398, B. No. 4) dated at Algarkyk Sunday next SS. Peter and Paul, 7 Henry VI (1429), by which Lambert Running of Algarkyk demised with Hugh Ordying of Fordick to Adlard Welbie of Algarkyk, son of Thomas Welbie of Fosdyke, 4 plots of land called Brown~forth, 1 aire called Squappeharte, a plot called Dewell, and half-an-acre of meadow called Belham green. Among the witnesses are Thomas Running, John Running, Wm. Running. From the Additional I\IS., 24,914, by a final concord dated the Morrow of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, 3rd February 1432, Richard Perry and Agnes his wife surrendered lands in Alderkirk to Thomas Baldyng, clerk, Lambert Running, and others. 1432. By the Early Chancery Proceedings, Record Office, 38/293, we get a short pedigree of the Hunnings family:- Thomas Hunnings.T··· r------,-~------I Symon.T··· Thomas. Hoger.

The bill states that Thomas Hunnyng had enfeoffed defendant and others, now dead, of lands, etc., in Algarkirk, co. Lincoln, to the NOTES ON THE HUNNINGS FAMILY. intent that they should perform his last will, in which will it was con­ tained that the same Richard Pynchbek and his co-feoffees should 1nake estate of the said lands to Simon the eldest son of said Thomas Hunnyng and to the heirs of his body, for default of issue of the said Thomas the son, the said lands should remain to Roger another son of the said "fader" and the heirs of his body, which Symon had issue the said J ohane, now one of the said " beseechers." And that your beseechers have often times required the said Richard (Pynchbek). to make estate of the said lands to the said J ohane which to do the said Richard (Pynchbek) hath at all times refused. In the Early Chancery Proceedings, 41/269, Thomas Hunnyng the younger petitions against the previous suit. By a deed, in the Earl of Warwick's possession, dated at Algarkirk, 7th May, 5 Edward IV (1466), William Wilcockson conveyed land at Fosdyke to . . . . It is witnessed by Roger Hunnyng and Thomas Welby; and by another deed dated 24 May, 12 Edward IV (1473), Thomas Gryme, of Algarkirk, and others demised to Lambert, son of Robe-rt Field of Algerkirk, and others 2 acres of land called Collerholme, abutting on land of Richard Hunnyng. This deed was witnessed by Thomas Welbie, Thomas Hunnyng, John Hunnyng, and Richard Hunnyng, all of Algerkirk. In 1472, Thomas Hunyng and Elizabeth his wife, of Fosdyke, were taxed. We learn by Lady Elizabeth Cust's work on (' The Cu.st Family": In 1436, Thomas Thakker of Pinchbek, granted certain lands in Fosdyke to Lambert Hunyng, gentleman, and that William Rand.son, of Byker, by his will dated Sunday after the Annunciation, 1479, declared "I also wiU- that Elizabeth Hunyng have vi kye & vi yowys." The Early Chancery Proceedings for 1480 (Bundle 61, No. 249) give us certain further information relating to Elizabeth Hunnyne. Her husband, Simon Hunyng, was then dead and she had married a John Thompson. The case related to a house in Algarkirk. And by another suit (Bundle 16, No. 418) in Chancery we gather that Roger, brother to Katherine Bale, gentlewoman, of Lincolnshire, had enfeoff ed lands to Richard Welbie, Richard Berghton, and Lambert Hunyng, and that Roger and John, sons of Roger deceased, petitioned to have their lands. By a deed (in the Earl of Warwick's collection) dated at Algerkirk 21st November, 20 Edward IV (1480), John Pulvertoft and John Hunnyng with others, being witnesses, John son of Henry Parker of Sutterton, demised to William Gryme and others 3 acres of land in Algerkirk. By a deed (Earl of Wa-r:wick's collection) dated at Algerkirk, 25th October 1490 (6 Henry VII), William, son of Thomas Nevill of Algarkirk, demised to John Pulvertoft and others 2 plots of land in Middlemarsh lying adjoining land of . . . . Richardson of Thomas Hunyngs, senior, on the south, and another piece of land called Callendarrygge between land of Thomas Kirketon and that of Roger Hunynge, junior, son of Thomas Hunyng, senior, and land of 6 NOTES ON THE HUNNINGS FAMILY. Thomas atte Cross, son of Thomas Hunyng, senior, of Hiptoft end on the south. Among the witnesses were Thomas Hunyng, William Hunyng and T. atte Cross. In the Feet of Fines, 15 Henry VII (1499) file_, 158, No. 28, appears the name of Thomas Hunyng. In 1499, Roger Wilkinson, of Swyneshead, yeoman, left Roger Hunyng, son of John Hunyng, land and property by his will. (Gib hons' "Early Lincoln Wills," Bishop Smith's Registers, 1496-1515, fo. 61.)

The testator also left his godson land in Gose­ toft. John Hunyng of Algarkirk is mentioned in the Feet of Fines in lO Henry VIII (1510). In 1529, Thomas Hunyng enfeoffed half-an-acre of land in Kirton. The names of several members of the Hunyngs of Algarkirk and Fosdyke from time to time appear on the jury list in the gaol delivery rolls for Lincolnshire during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The name of Richard Hunyng appears among the jury on the inquisition on the death of Henry Cust, 38 Henry VIII. During the reign of Henry VIII we find mention of members of the Hunyng family at Moulton. In the year 24 Henry VIII (1532), Lord Boston's muniments at Hedsor show that at that date there was a husbandman at Moulton named Simon Hunyng, son and heir of Robert Hunyng then lately deceased. He conveyed a messuage and a " holte " containing 1 a. 1 r. 0 p. in Moulton to Antony Irby, Richard Ogle, and others to the use of Richard Pulvertoft, Esq., of Boston :- 20 July Grant in perpetuity made by Symon Hunyng 1532, of Molton in the county of Lincoln, husbandman, 24 Henry VIII. son and heir of Robert Hunyng of the same place, late deceased, to Antony Irby, of Gosberkyrke, Nicholas Robertson of Boston, Esq., Thomas Robertson of Boston, Richard Ogle, junior, of Pinchbek, gentleman, Symon Culzer of Moulton, husbandman, their heirs and assigns, of a messuage and a "holte" with their appurts., etc., containing 1 a. 1 r. 0 p., lying in lioulton aforesaid, to be held by them to the use of Robert Pulver­ toft of Boston, Esquire, his heirs and assigns, with a power of attorney given to Gilbert Male and Robert Thacker to enter into the said premises and remove the farmers, tenants and occupiers thereof and to deliver seizin thereof to the persons abovenamed. NOTES ON THE HUNNINGS FAMILY. 7 On the same day Simon Hunyng entered into a bond with Robert Pulvertoft to pay £4 on the feast of St. Laurence next coming. The condition being to perform the covenants in the conveyance of the 20th July 1532. . There is a further deed between the same parties with the Hedsor documents relating to the messuage and holte. Turning to the Moulton Parish Registers, we do not find any entries of births or deaths relating to the Hunnings until the seventeenth cen­ tury, but there are two entries in the marriage register: Robert Brass­ brege married on the 26th April 1562 Ellesebeth Huning (in the Lincoln record it is entered as Robert Bracebridge and Elizabeth Huninge), and on the 11th November 1568, Robert Webster and Dame Huningham. The next entry we find in the Moulton registers is the burial of Robert Hunyng on the 24th November 1658, a period of ninety years having elapsed since the previous entries. I think we may fairly assume that during that period the family had ceas·ed to reside at Moulton, and again resumed their residence there about the time other members of the family left Algarkirk and came to reside at Holbeach and the neighbouring village of Whaplode. In the Return of Lincolnshire Freeholders in the year 1561, two members of the Hunnings family are returned : Thomas Hunnynge of Fosdyke, yeoman, and Francis Hunnynge of Fosdyke, yeoman. In the two Lincolnshire Assessments, 1661-5 and 1676, we do not find the name of Huning in the Kesteven division, but in that of Holland we find in the Lay Subsidy of Charles II, in the year 1661 : Algarkirk: Roger Hunings, 2 hearths; Bicker: Humphrey Hunings, 2 hearths ; and in that of 1676-Whaplode : George Hunnings, 3 hearths; Algarkirk: W. Hunnings, 2 hearths; Bicker: Widow Hunnings, 2 hearths. In the Calendars of Feet of Fines, from 4 James I to 32 George II, we find the following relating to the Hunings family :- M'mas, 11 James I. Thomas Middlecot and another v. Thomas Hunnings and others, and relating to tenements in Kirton. Hilary, 11 James I. John Procter and others v. Thomas Hunnings, tenements in Kirton.

Notts, Esq., ret. 50. Ursale Honying, ret. 20, daughter of Henry Honying of Dunsby, Esq., application by George Burmote of the Close, Winchester, Notary Public. Before we treat of the wills of the Hunings family it will be well here to note that the last will of any member of the family residing at Algar­ kirk is dated 30th December 1660. At that time we find entries relating to the family in the registers of Holbeach, Whaplode and Moul­ ton. These entries clearly show that the family must have been fairly numerous in those three parishes, and as the first entries in the Holbeach and Whaplode registers record baptisms, it would seem to point to the conclusion that the parents had but recently come into the district, particularly as the registers in each place commenced more than a hundred years previously. The first entry at Whaplode is the baptism of Ann, daughter of George Hunnings, on the 21st January 1670, and in the same year there is the entry of the burial of Thomas, the son of George Hunnings, on 23rd November 1670. The first entry we have in the Holbeach registry is the baptism of March, son of Thomas and Catherine Hunnings, on the 12th April 1680. One would be disposed to think this Thomas Hunnings may have migrated from Algarkirk to Holbeach about the time he married Katherine March, a daughter of William March of Holbeach, a man of considerable wealth and influence in the place and· a member of a very old Holbeach family.1 On the 8th November 1680 there is recorded in the Holbeach register the burial of a Richard Hunnings, but the~e is nothing stated as to his age or parentage. The Moulton register is the exceptio:Q.. : there the first entry is the burial on the 24th November 1658 of Robert Hunnings. Judging from the register, I believe this Robert to have been a man of some importance, as I think the Richard Hunnings of Holbeach was, but there is nothing in the bald entries in the registers of the three parishes nor in the wills that are subsequently given to enable one with any certainty to state the parentage of the earlier settlers of the Hunnings family in Holbeach, Whaplode and Moulton. As showing the connection between the Holbeach and the Moulton branches, the wills of Edward Hunings of Holbeach, husbandman, dated 3rd January 1702-3, that of John Hunnings of Holbeach, grazier, dated 4th April 1746, and that of Edward Hunings of Moulton, grazier, dated 10th December 1733, give the following pedigree :-

We are unable to give more information concerning the Holbeach branch of the Hunings family than the various entries in the Holbeach and Whaplode registers. They were closely connected with the branch of the family who made Whaplode their home ; indeed members of both branches seem to have resided at Whaplode and Holbeach almost indiscriminately, and to have had their members baptised and buried in those two parish chUI'ches.

THE WHAPLODE BRANCH. We obtain considerably more information relating to the Whaplode branch of the Hunings family than we do that of the Holbeach branch. The first mention of a member of the Hunings family in the Whaplode register is that of the baptism of Ann, the child of George Hunnings, on the 21st January 1670. As the register dates back more than a hundred years prior to 1670, we may fairly assume George Hunnings was the first of his family to make Whaplode his home, and we do not think he could have been then a long resident there, for the Lay Subsidy Roll of 1665 does not mention a Hunnings as living at Whaplode or Holbeach, but in that of 1676 we find George Hunnings of Whaplode returned as having three hearths. He was churchwarden in 1679, and judging by the entries in the Whaplode books he must have been a leading parishioner, and took great interest in parochial affairs. I have been unable to discover any wills of members of the Whaplode branch, but fortunately, in addition to the entries in the Whaplode registers, have obtained legal documents to guide me in preparing a pedigree of this family. From these papers we learn the singular fact that every eldest son of the main line of this branch took the estates of his father by heirship and not by devise; indeed, it seems to have been a tradition in the family to die intestate. A March Hunnings was churchwarden at Whaplode in the years 1712-13, and a John Hunings was Vicar's churchwarden in 1723, and 10 NOTES ON THE HUNNINGS FAMILY. during that period both March and John Hunnings were frequent attendants at the Whaplode vestry meetings. One is struck when searching the Wha pl ode register by the few entries of baptisms of members of the Hunings family who were born in that parish; one would imagine the family were not churchpeople. There is no entry of the baptism of Thomas Hunings who was buried on 25th March 1695~ though one would have thought there would have been, as the death of his elder brother, also named Thomas, is recorded in 1670. Nor do we find the baptism of William Hunings who was buried at Whaplode on 3rd September 1727, nor of his son William who was buried there in 17 43, nor of his son Thomas Hunings who married Ann Newcomen at Surfleet on the 1st January 1751, nor is there any entry of Ann Newcomen's son, John Hunings, who was after­ wards a solicitor at Holbeach, who married Elizabeth Sanders of Spalding at Holbeach Church and died in the year 1801. I propose to give pedigrees showing Ann N ewcomen' s royal descent and also Elizabeth Sanders' descent. The tombstones in the churchyard of Whaplode have been carefully searched to find, if possible, any memorial to the many members of the Hunnings family which the registers show were buried there, but the only one remaining is a fine altar tomb on the south side of the tower of the church, to the memory of John Hunnings, who died at Holbeach in 1801. In this tomb lie the remains of John Hunnings, Elizabeth his wife, and her second husband, a Mr. Harvey who was a solicitor at Holbeach. It is singular that there is an entry of John Hunnings' death and burial in the Holbeach register as well as in that at Whaplode. He died without a will, leaving one child surviving him, John Frotheringham Hunnings, who was a solicitor at Donington, and he dying in 1823 leaving four daughters, was the last male of that branch. This John Hunnings was buried at Whaplode at midnight. The funeral procession started from his residence at Holbeach and passed through lines of men with lighted torches, which must have presented a weird scene. The funeral is mentioned in the Spalding Magazine for the year 1801. John Frotheringham Hunnings married Susannah Procter, a member of the Procter family who resided at Friskney near Boston, at St. Martin-in-the-Fields, London, in the year 1812. He died at Donington and was buried there in 1823, where there is still a monument to his memory. He had one son, John George Hunnings, who predeceased him and is also buried at Donington. John George Hunnings' death was caused by injuries he received to his eyes by being hit with a stone thrown by a schoolfellow at the Wisbech school where he was a scholar. The four- daughters of J. F. Hunnings were all born and baptised at Donington, and were all married at Holbeach church. Ann Sanders married Charles Hanslip, of London, solicitor. She died at Fulham, leaving issue. Dorothy March married Captain Willia1n Simpson Clarke, of Moulton, and she died without issue and is buried in Holbeach cemetery. NOTES ON THE HUNNINGS FAMILY. 11

Susannah Mary, married Thomas Foster,1 of the Manor House, Moulton.1 She died and was buried at Moulton, in 1900, leaving issue. Margaret Elizabeth married Newcomen Rogers, of Grantham, surgeon. She died at Leighton Buzzard, leaving issue, and is buried in Holbeach cemetery. Letters of administration were taken out at Lincoln to the estate of John F. Hunnings by his widow. She afterwards married, as her second husband, Thomas Ayliff, solicitor, of Holbeach. He died in the year 1847 and is buried in Holbeach churchyard with his widow, who died in 1868. There is a tablet to their memory in the north aisle of Holbeach church. The mother of J. F. Hunnings died at Holbeach in the year 1844, and is buried at Whaplode. By her v.--i.ll, which was proved at Lincoln, she left her property to her four granddaughters.

THE MOULTON BRANCH.

We have previously seen how the Moulton branch of the Hunnings family was an offshoot from that of Holbeach: how Edward Hunnings of Holbeach, whose will was dated the 2nd January 1702-3 was the brother of Thomas Hunnings of Holbeach, who married Katherine March, and how Richard's son, Edward, whose will was dated the 10th December 1733, resided at Moulton. Richard Hunnings' will is subsequently given, and also Edward Hunnings' will. By Richard Hunnings' will we learn he had one son, Edward, and three daughters, Deborah, Ann and Elizabeth, and a wife named Sarah who proved his will at Boston, 16th April 1703. Edward Hunnings is described as a grazier at Moulton. He married Elizabeth Butter, the daughter of a wealthy merchant, Robert Butter, of Spalding. Edward Hunnings, by his will dated 10th December 1733, mentions his wife and his cousin John Hunnings of Holbeach Marsh, guardian for his two children, his son Butter and his daughter named Elizabeth. The will was proved at Lincoln on 9th May 1734 by the widow, the two children being under age. There is a memorial in Moulton church to Edward Hunnings. Edward Hunnings December 18, 1733 aged 36 years. I An infant son I Elizabeth the daughter of Robert & Elizabeth Butter of Spald­ ing, merchant & wife of the above named Edward Hunnings & Charles Holland both of this parish on Nov. 18, 1780, aged 77 years. ) Frances Susannah, daughter of James & Elizabeth Sneath of Spalding and granddaughter of the above Edward & Elizabeth Hunnings an infant. A son of Edward Hunnings, also named Edward, became a grocer and settled in Boston. He married Martha Clarke, the daughter of Matthew Clarke, who resided at Goddards Hall, Moulton. She died young; her tablet in Moulton church is as follows:-

1 See notes on " The Foster Family of Dowsby and Moulton." 12 NOTES ON THE HUNNINGS FAMILY. Martha wife of Edward Hunnings of Boston in this County, and daughter of Matthew & Elizabeth Clarke of this parish, grazier. Dec. 11, 1787, aged 25 years. Her will bears date the 12th October 1787. She mentions a bond given on her marriage, dated 12th August 1786, and. as she had no family she gave her husband £500. She mentions her brothers Matthew Clarke and John Clarke, her mother Elizabeth Clarke, ·her late father Matthew Clarke, and l\irs. Hunnings, her mother-in-law. The will was proved at Lincoln, 17th February 1788. There is in the Lincoln registry the will of Butter Hunnings, of the city of Lincoln, Esq., dated 19th July 1802. He mentions his sister Elizabeth Sneath, widow, his late mother, Elizabeth Holland, widow; he mentions his son Edward, to whom he gave his estates at Whaplode, Moulton, \Veston, Spalding and Pinchbeck, subject to an annuity of £40; he mentions his granddaughter Elizabeth Clarke, his daughter, Elizabeth Simpson, the wife of Richard· Simpson, of Moulton, grazier, and his daughter Mary Banks, the wife of Rev. John Banks, of Boston ; he mentions his property in the city of Lincoln. The will was proved at Lincoln, 20th March 1804. There is a slab in I\Ioulton church to Elizabeth Simpson, as follows:- " Sacred to the memory of Elizabeth, relict of Richard Simpson, and formerly of Matthew Clarke of this parish, elder daughter of Butter and Mary Hunnings. Born at Lincoln, J anry. 23rd 1762. Died at Doncaster, O~tober 23rd 184:0." From this branch the present family of Hunnings of Tottenham are descended.

THE HUNNINGS WILLS. There are several interesting wills of members of the Hunnings family, both in the principal and in the local registry at Lincoln, though, as I have previously remarked, a great number of the family died intestate, and as the )..lgarkirk registry only begins in the year 1690, it is very difficult to prepare a reliable pedigree. What wills there are, clearly show the family to be "well to do," in the Tudor period, and gradually parting with their property during the troubles of the six­ teenth and seventeenth centuries. The first will of a member of the Hunnings family is in the Lincoln registry : it is that of Robert Huningham, who resided at Kirton, and is dated 16th December, 1541. The document is an interesting one, but unfortunately there is no mention of any of the Hunnings family. The testator directed his house to be sold and part of the proceeds to be spent in making a road. It was proved at Lincoln on 11th- January 154:1-2. The next will in the Lincoln registry is that of Richa?d Hunnynge of Boston. It is dated 22nd January 1543. He was evidently a farmer, as he leaves his "cattell" to his son Thomas, and his household goods to be equally divided, one quarter to his son Thomas Hunnynge, one-half to his son's two children, and one-quarter to his servant Agnes Parkyn. NOTES ON THE HUNNINGS FAMILY. 13

The next will in the Lincoln registry is that of Thomas Hunnings, of Algarkirk, and is dated 3rd March 1550. He gave to his wife Agnes his dwelling house and 8 acres of land for her life, she having out of the rents to pay Peter Hunnyng, Christopher Hunnyng, and William Hunnyng, £5 each. At the widow's death the property was left to his son Nicholas, and the heirs of his body, and on failure to other sons in succession. He left £5 each to his daughters, Cecilia, Agnes, and :Margery, on their attaining the age of 19 years. To his son Thomas he left 12 " yewes " with their lambs. The next will in the Lincoln registry is that of Johanna Honyng, the wife of John Honyng of Fleet, husbandman, and is dated 28th May 1550. There is no mention in the will of any member of the Hunnings family. The will of Edward Hunnings, of Algarkirk, yeoman, dated the 18th July 1552, is in the Principal Registry. He appears to have been a man of means and possessed of a "swan mark," which he gave to his wife Alice for her life, and then to his son John Hunnyng and his heirs. Alice, his widow, proved the will 5th August 1552. The next will is in the Lincoln registry : it is that of Sishe Hunnyng, of Alderchurch, and is dated 28th April 1565, but beyond giving the names of his brothers and sisters it is of no interest. Brothers Thomas and Nicholas, sisters Margerie and Agnes. The will of Francis Honyng of Algarkirk, yeoman, dated the 24th August 1570, is in the Lincoln registry. He gives to his "1-ife Jannett certain household furniture, and leaves his houses and lands to Agnes Barfote, his sister's daughter. No Hunnings are mentioned in the will. The next will is at Lincoln : it is that of Thomas Huninge, of Kirton Holme, and is dated 1st July 1570. He was a farmer. There are no Hunnings mentioned in the will. He mentions his wife Rose. The next will at Lincoln is a most interesting one, that of Thomas Hunnyng of Algarkirk, and is dated 10th December 1570. It shows the testator to have been a prosperous farmer and landowner. He mentions his daughter Cassandra, and his sons Richard and Roger. The most interesting paragraph in his will is his leaving the piece of land at Fosdyke which h.e bought of 1.lir. Huninge of London. Richard Welbie and Richard Tunnard were among the witnesses to the will. V The will of Nicholas Hunnings of Algarkirk, yeoman, dated 13th January 1597, is in the Lincoln registry. He was a farmer. He men­ tions his wife Marie, but does nor leave anything to any member of the Hunnings family. The will of Roger Hunings of Boston, gentleman, dated 29th December 1611, is in the Lincoln registry. He mentions his son Thomas, his wife Ann, and gives her for life his houses and lands at Boston. To his son Thomas for life, lands in Fosdyke, Algarkirk, etc., then to his son Roger. The will was proved at Lincoln, 20th April 1612. The last of the Hunnings (of Algarkirk) wills in the Lincoln registry is that of Thon1as Hunnings, of Algarkirk, yeoman, dated 30th December 1660. He mentions his son Thomas, to whom he gave a cottage and land, " which he bought of his brother Roger," and £40 when he 14 NOTES ON THE HUNNINGS FAMILY. became 21 years of age. He gave small legacies to Thomas and ~fary Hunnings, and to ;Elizabeth Hunnings, Richard Hunnings, Roger Hunnings, and William Hunnings, children of his brother Roger Hunnings. He appointed his wife Margaret executrix of his will, who proved his will on the 20th March 1660-1.

NOTES ON THE HUNNINGS OF LONDON AND SUFFOLK.

PART II. N OTE.-For the whole of the information relating to this branch of the Hunnings family I am indebted to Mr. George Rutter Fletcher, F.S.A., of London, and it is entirely due to his careful researches that the following account has been written. I do not think it will be disputed by anyone, who has made a study of the history of the South Lincolnshire families, that almost without exception, all those of the upper and middle classes threw out branches in London during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It began almost immediately after the Wars of the Roses, and continued all through the Tudor period, when the great increase of trade and com­ mercial enterprise took place. But it was not alone the increase of trade in London, that drew the younger members to turn their attention to commerce, but the troubles consequent on the changes of religion in the Tudor period, and also the Parliamentary Wars that so im­ poverished the landowners that they were unable to make provision for the younger members of their families at home. What is more natural than that the Hunnings, who, as we have seen, were anoldmiddle­ class Lincolnshire family, should have followed the example of their neighbours and parted ,vith their cadets to seek their fortune in London, where they often acquired wealth, and a far better position in the world than their relatives who continued to reside in South Lincolnshire-in a great many cases to fight a severe battle with growing distress and often in the end to have to part with their ancestral acres, and eventually to disappear from the county they had so long resided in, and loved so well. I am unable to prove the connection between the Suffolk and London branch of the Hunnings family with those of South Lincoln­ shire, though I have little doubt in my own 1nind they were of the same stock. It may be true my reasons for arriving at that conclusion are not strong, but I would point out the following facts in confirmation of my views. Thomas Hunnings of Algarkirk, by his \\"'l.ll dated the 10th December 1570, left to bis son Richard "my house that Roger my sonne d welleth in . . . . . & three acres of pasture land, & 3 acres of pasture that I bought of l\Ir. Hunninge of London." "J\,lr. Hunninge of London" possessing land in a small and obscure fenland parish like Fosdyke, the home of the Algarkirk Hunnings, for some centuries, and selling it to one of the same family name would seem to point to the vendor and purchaser being of one and the same stock. The will of Edward Hunnings of Algarkirk, which was proved in London on 5th August 1552, seems to point to his having connection with Suffolk, as he mentions Robert Bernand of Byesam, in the county of Suffolk, clothier, owing him £4 13s. 4d. The will of William Honnyngs, of London, and of Sudbourne, Suffolk, dated 25th December 1556, mentions his kinsman, Henry Erby (Irb_y). 46 NOTES ON THE HUNNINGS FAMILY.

As is well known, the Irby family resided within a few miles of Fosdyke at that period of their history ; this, I take it, would also point to a probability of the testator being of Lincolnshire origin. By a deed dated the 6th November 30 Henry VIII, a relative of William Honnyngs, of London and Sudbourne, Roger Huning, Ci~izen of london and Fishmonger, sold to Nicholas Robertson, l\1erchant, two pieces of land at Algarlirk. I am aware that the pedigree of the Hunnings of London and Suffolk in the Davy· collection of "Suffolk Fan1ilies " gives Roger Honing, who married ~Iargaret Owleas, " of the county of War,,ick," but the pedigree in the Harleian J\iIS. gives his grandmother as the daughter and heir of John Kelke, a member of a well-known family of both Lincolnshire and Suffolk. It is possible the family may have taken their name from the parish of Hunningham, in Warwickshire, and not from Huning or. ~oning, in the county of Norfolk, but I rather incline to the Norfolk ongin. Whether the family were from Norfolk or Warwick, the first mention we find of the London branch of the Hunnings family is in the year 1511, when William Hunnyng was appointed fishmonger to King Henry VIII. Through this appointment the family acquired wealth and rendered service to the king, and acquired considerable influence at the Courts of the Tudor monarchs. William Hounyng was commissioned, 6th July, 3 Henry VIII (1511) to provide fish for the household until 6th February then next. On October 18th 1511, next presentation of Free Chapel or Priory of St. John, Ross, for William Hounynge and Wm. Burwick. Among sums owing by the monks of St. .Albans in the time of the then late Abbot, in John Killingworth's accounts, ending Michaelmas, 14 Henry VIII, was £12 to Mr. Hounyngs of London, for fish. On 26th June 1522, John Jengus wrote to Wolsey, "Ten days before I ca1ne Honyng & Weldon had sent 7 ships with victuals to the vice admiral," and among the payments of the King's Treasury from May 1st to January 1st, 14 Henry VIII, we find" J·ohn Rycroft, Edward Welldon, and William Honyng for victualling the King's ships, £100." " From l\1r. Honyng, ferjeant of the Accatry, from . . . . of oxen & sheep dead in murrain & sold, 28s. 4d." " From Honyng for salt money, £6 13s. 4d." Warrant to Sheriff of London to apprehend Robert Amadus, to answer to the charge of Mr. Honyng. The name of Robert Hounynge, fishmonger, appears among the list of esquires and gentlemen who received cloth as liveries at the funeral of Sir Thomas Lovell, K.G., who died at his manor of Elsynges in Enfield, Middlesex, on 25th ~lay 1524. Add. MSS., 12462. In 1533 it is recorded that Mr. Hounynges was sergeant of the " Accarty " (the room or place allotted to the keeping of such pro­ visions as the purveyors purchased for the King), but whether it was William, Robert, or Roger, my note does not show. Another member of the Hunnings family of London, in the earlier part of the sixteenth century, was Roger Running, who was also NOTES ON THE HUNNINGS FAMILY. 47 fishmonger to the royal household. His epitaph was formerly in the church of St. Nicholas, Co]d Abbey, near London Bridge, and from Weever we learn it read : "Pray for the soul of Roger Running, fishmonger, sometime purveyor of seafish to our Sovereign King Henry VIII, & lVIargaret his wiff, the which Roger decessed the 3 day of l\Iay ann. dom. MCCCCCXLI (1541) whos soul Jesu pardon. Aruen." The first will in order of date of a member of the Honnyng, Running, or Honing family~ residing in London, is that of this Roger Honnyng, who was of St. Nicholas, Colde Abbey, London:- N otes of will of RoGE.R HoNNYNG, of St. Nicholas, Colde Abbey, London.
