EXTRACTS from the RESEARCH of the FAMILY NAME of MINGAY by JAMES ARTHUR MINGAY. Original Held by NORFOLK RECORDS OFFICE, NORWICH. Reference Number:- MS 4410 57 X 5. Transcribed by ANTHONY JOHN MINGAY. PREFACE . The compiler of these fragments of history has no other object in view than that of preserving the notes he collected whilst endeavouring, as a hobby, to trace the descent of his own branch of the family of MINGAY. The first member of that family who arrived in England, however his name may have been spelt, probably came from France, most likly from either Normandy or Brittany, or from the Channel Islands where there are still residing families named Maingay, Mainguy, Minguet, Mingot and Menguy. The patronymic may perhaps be derived from the French 'mine',- countenance, and 'gai',- lively, cheerful or merry,- thus 'the man with a lively countenance' or, as suggested by the arms of JULIEN MAINGUY,Sieur de la Brosse, Brittany,- gules, an open handed argent,- it may signify 'the open-handed or generous man'. The motto of the family in England is "Prodesse quam conspici", i.e. "To do good rather than be famous". The first records of the presence of the family in England, so far discovered, are the wills of Waryn MYNGI of London, dated 1328, and of Olive MYNGY of Norton- Manderville, Essex, dated 1345. The first record of its presence in Norfolk is probably that of Henry MINGO, of Erlham, who was admitted a Freeman of Norwich in 1368, then follows that of Hugh MYNGGE, rector of Pencethorpe in 1403;Robert MINGAY of Pulham Market who was rector of Shelton in 1431, and William MYNGGE of Shotesham whose will is dated 4 th of April 1442. In the XVI th and XVII th centuries the family had numerous representatives in the County of Norfolk residing at Norwich and its vincinity, several of these were known in official life. Three members of it served the offices of Sheriff and Mayor of Norwich; two members, father and son, were Diocesan Registrars, and one member was Recorder of Norwich. Generally the source of the information given in this book is acknowledged at the foot of each note, but where that has not been done, a record of the source not having been kept, the compi ler acknowledge his indebtedness to the unknown contributor and tenders his thanks to all upon whose works he has drawn. He especially thanks the Reverend C.J.Buckmaster of Hindley Vicarage, Wigan who supplied nearly all the extracts from the Wills, and many notes. (Signed) MINGAY . JAMES ARTHUR London, May 1915 .

    4i JSife an& (H)rtftng0 of Cijarfee Beefie, Qflonjurittjj ©twne" DWARD Gregory, of Bristol, has drawn our attention to a Life of this arch opponent of Quakerism, published in 1885, and the Manager of Friends' Bookshop, has, by energetic search, secured a copy for the Reference Library. This volume of 544 pages was written by Rev. R. J. Leslie, M.A. (1829-1904), vicar of Holbeach S. John, Lines., author also of The Life and Times of the right reverend John Leslie, D.D., Bishop of the Isles, Scotland and of Raphoe and Clogher in Ireland, etc., 1885. Charles Leslie (1650-1722) was a son of John Leslie (1571-1671),* known as " the Fighting Bishop," and he evidently inherited much of his father's combativeness. He was born in Ireland, and educated at Trinity College, Dublin, He married Jane, daughter of Richard Griffith, the Dean of Ross (Ireland). In 1686, he became Chancellor of Connor. He was a pronounced Jacobite and refused to take the oaths at the Revolution ; and being dispossessed of his office he quitted Ireland and settled in London. He was a strong controversialist, and attacked in turn Deists, Jews, Quakers and Socinians as well as communities within his own Church. We are specially concerned with Leslie's controversy with Friends as related in Chapter vi. of his Life. R. J. Leslie informs his readers that Friends " formed a numerous and prominent sect at that time, compared with their present [1884] condition," and he actually believes that " one main reason among others of their gradual loss of influence and considera­ tion, was the completeness and effectiveness of his [Charles Leslie's] confutation of their tenets and pretences.

    THE BOOK OF ARMAGH BY THE REV. CANON W.E.C. FLEMING, M.A. SOMETIME INCUMBENT OF TARTARAGHAN AND DIAMOND AND CHANCELLOR OF ARMAGH CATHEDRAL 2013 The eighth and ninth centuries A.D. were an unsettled period in Irish history, the situation being exacerbated by the arrival of the Vikings1 on these shores in 795, only to return again in increasing numbers to plunder and wreak havoc upon many of the church settlements, carrying off and destroying their treasured possessions. Prior to these incursions the country had been subject to a long series of disputes and battles, involving local kings and chieftains, as a result of which they were weakened and unable to present a united front against the foreigners. According to The Annals of the Four Masters2, under the year 800 we find, “Ard-Macha was plundered thrice in one month by the foreigners, and it had never been plundered by strangers before.” Further raids took place on at least seven occasions, and in 941 they record, “Ard-Macha was plundered by the same foreigners ...” It is, therefore, rather surprising that in spite of so much disruption in various parts of the country, there remained for many people a degree of normality and resilience in daily life, which enabled 1 The Vikings, also referred to as Norsemen or Danes, were Scandinavian seafarers who travelled overseas in their distinctive longships, earning for themselves the reputation of being fierce warriors. In Ireland their main targets were the rich monasteries, to which they returned and plundered again and again, carrying off church treasures and other items of value.

E.NEW YORK .Lie LIBRARY rs526390 Copyright 1901 by Edgar Woods. • -• THE MicHiE Company, Printers, Charlottesville, Va. 1901. PREFACE. An examination of the records of the county for some in- formation, awakened curiosity in regard to its early settle- ment, and gradually led to a more extensive search. The fruits of this labor, it was thought, might be worthy of notice, and productive of pleasure, on a wider scale. There is a strong desire in most men to know who were their forefathers, whence they came, where they lived, and how they were occupied during their earthly sojourn. This desire is natural, apart from the requirements of business, or the promptings of vanity. The same inquisitiveness is felt in regard to places. Who first entered the farms that checker the surrounding landscape, cut down the forests that once covered it, and built the habitations scattered over its bosom? With the young, who are absorbed in the engagements of the present and the hopes of the future, this feeling may not act with much energy ; but as they advance in life, their thoughts turn back with growing persistency to the past, and they begin to start questions which perhaps there is no means of answering.

    88 Haughley Park Andthe Sulyards. by Rev. "Arthurdimock

    88 HAUGHLEY PARK ANDTHE SULYARDS. BY REV. "ARTHURDIMOCK, Rector of Wetherden, Suffolk. In the Calendar of the Feet of Fines for Suffolk, edited by Mr. Walter Rye, in connection with the Suffolk Institute of ArchEeology, is found the following : " 3 Edw. iv. John Sulyard v. Walter Bradley and Joanna his wife, of the manor of Wetherdene in Wetherdene." This may be taken to mean that, not later than 1462, John Sulyard became lord of the manor of Wetherden.' According to the Visitations of Suffolk, this John Sulyard came from Eye. His family were chiefly noted for marrying heiresses, which will account for the quarter- ings, outside and inside the Sulyard aisle, in Wetherden Church. His three immediate anceStors distinguished themselves in this way. John Sulyard's only son (or only recorded son) has a history, for he improved on all his forefathers by marrying two heiresses. He devoted himself to the law, and became in succession, serjeant, puisne judge and Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas,--one of many East Anglian judges. His home was Wetherden Hall, but who built that manor house I do not know. Chief Justice Sulyard, just about four centuries ago, built the present south aisle in Wetherden church, which went by the family name. In the Sulyard aisle he was buried in the tomb under the side arch. He must have left behind him considerable possessions. HAUGHLEY PARK AND THE SULYARDS. 89 Passing over his son, buried at Wetherden in .1538, we come to his grandson, also John. Although he married thrice, not one of these three ladies is put down as an heiress ; yet he made up in other ways.
