Notizen bei Thomas Powys

NOTE: Martin P-L writes:1617 born June 29, the first child of THOMAS of SNITTON, byElizabeth, his second wife.1634 Matriculated (gained entry) at Balliol College, Oxford.1638 Admitted to Lincoln's Inn, where his father had beenbefore, and where his two eldest sons and other descendantsfollowed..1646 Called to the bar.Married Anne, whose father was a celebrated lawyer, Sir AdamLittleton. She bore all his children: Littleton, THOMAS,Edward, John, Elizabeth, Ann, and died two days after the birthof her last born.1650-52 Moves from Snitton to Henley (on which an article wasenclosed with the previous edition).1655 Thomas Powys esq. buys Closes called Upper & Lower HeathyFurlong, the new Tynings, Dawbles Pleck, the Sheildfield and theDoggehouse meadow, being part of the demesne lands of the manorplace or court of the lordship of Bitterley; and all that partof the lane leading from Hillupencote unto a gate which hangethat the end of the lane leading to Bitterley church, from ThomasLittletonesq. (lately known as Sir Thos. Littleton bart.), TimothyLittleton, sergeant at law, and Thomas Walcot. (Calendar ofDeeds & Charters, vol.vii, no.8557 in Shrewsbury Records Office,where also may be found Thomas's two estate books covering theyears 1661-1670, filed under Henley Hall.)1657 Reader of Davis Inn (a reader being a lecturer).1658 & 1661 a witness in two suits (Town Depositions 836L &839B. I have consulted neither.)1659 Married Mary Cotes, daughter of John Cotes and Mary Bagot.She died in 1668, aged 36, after bearing him six more children:William, Robert, Richard, Mary, Henry, George. Thomas had atablet put up in Bitterley church in her memory. (It is nowbehind the organ pipes.) In flowery Latin, it proclaims herbastardy, fertility and kindness to neighbours.1663 Promoted to Bencher (senior member of the Inn) saving hisantiquity of his ancients. This odd phrase seems (particularlyin view of what follows) to mean, "depending on the verificationof his claimed ancestry". Visited by the herald Dugdale (whoserecord I have not seen; it is in the College of Arms).1664 Visited by the herald Lee.1666 Arms confirmed by Sir Bysshe. Copies of the last two itemsare in the British Museum, MS 6172. To Lee, Thomas gave thefamily descent back only to the alleged William and Emma around1300. For Sir Bysshe, to justify the claim to the arms of theprinces of Powys, he gives the descent from Bleddyn ap Cynfyn,and includes Humfry, the bachelor aged 22. William and Emma arenot mentioned in this version, the only William being Thomas'sgrandfather, William of Ludlow.The full genealogy, in his spelling, is as follows:-Blethyn ap CynfynMeredythGriffith Madoc Iorwerth| |______|_____| || |Owen Ceveilioc Griffith Madoc Sir GriffithIorwerth| Lord of Kt(ancstr Vauchan| Bromfield ofKynastons) || (& descendants)|GwenwynwynMeredith(ancstr of Ls of Powys)|Llewellyn or Leoline____________________________||Ewan|Meredyth Lloyd|Leoline|Griffith|Leoline|Meredyth|Evan|Medoc|________________| |John Owen| |James Lewys| |William Owen| |Thomas of Snitton, Griffitharmiger |
Humfry,
aged 22 D contd.The shield shown exhibits the six quarterings claimed by Thomas,none of which - except for the lion's gamb - do we stilldisplay. They include some charming owls, and must indicate tothe cognoscenti the families into which the Powyses had married.Although Thomas claims that his father was armigerous, there isno evidence that any of the Anglo Powyses before Thomas ofHenley had born arms. Whether he convinced the heralds orcorrupted them I must leave to your own judgement.1667 Autumn Reader at Lincoln's Inn1669 Sergeant at Law (one of senior barristers, from whom judgeswere chosen). His appointment is recorded in the P.R.O. PettyBag, C 202/53. His portrait (that we have) shows him in thedress of a Sgt. at Law.He was a royalist, but was re-instated as a J.P. before 1670.1671 died. His will is in the P.R.O. (1672 fo.141) and atransliteration of it is in the Powys box at the Genealogists'Library. He left land in Henley, Upper Bitterley, Rock, StantonLacey, Cainham (now in Hollins), Thursley, Clun, Hardwick, andbequeathed £2000 here, £1000 there, £500 elsewhere (to each ofthe children of his second wife). One Joseph Powys was tenantof some of his land. In wondering how he accumulated suchwealth, I remember Shakespeare's lines in the Seven Ages of Man(A.Y.L.I.) ...and then the justice, his fair round belly withgood capon lined (capon being a standard bribe). I should,however, in fairness also mention that Mary Creaser, who hasread his estate books, judges him a kind-hearted chap, thoughshe would not claim the same for his father. She wrote; hestruck me as a very genuine, thoughtful, hard-working andgenerous man, who understood and appreciated what was involvedin earning a living from the soil. She quotes from an estatebook, in connection with his agreement to let a stone quarry inLudlow: I must lend them my iron bar. She also refers to acourt case from which it is evident that he took a stronginterest in the welfare of his nephews after the death of theirfather, his brother Peter. So, perhaps all the money came fromhis wife.______________________________________________TFPL: The descent from William and Emma, in the "Book ofVisitations of Shropshire 1564, 1584 and 1620" (as transcribedin a note in the Powys box in SoG) is:William Powys = Emma___________||Thomas Powys =___________||Richard Powys =___________||John Powys =of Myvot Esq___________|________________| || JohnWilliam Powys = Margaret dr of Ludlow born of Rowbery10:H 7 |___________||Thomas Powysof Snittonborn 1 Eliz__________________________________________________________TFPL, Sep 2004, from Ancestry.com: Shropshire: Stanton Lacy, Bitterley - Parish Registers, HerefordDiocese Marriages 1800-1812.
