Biography

Elizabeth Kendrick was doubtless a daughter of Matthew Kendrick.

Say around 1650, she married Walgrave Lodwick of Hackney St John and Tooting, citizen and fishmonger of London.

They had 4 children. Walgrave died in July 1662.

Elizabeth then married (15 Feb 1663/4),as his 2nd wife, Rev David Clarkson, the famous non-conformist preacher.

They had 3 sons (David, Matthew, and Robert) and 4 daughters (Rebecca, wife of _____ Combe; Mary; Gertrude; and Katherine).

The Rev David died in 1686. Elizabeth was living 20 years later.

MARKHAMS, originally an open field west of the green, consisted of several closes before 1620, when the western part belonged to William Sebright. (fn. 31) The 12 a. to the east, together with the 'Blind Beggar', formed a copyhold estate, of which Patrick Roberts held a quarter from 1653, (fn. 32) Waldrof Lodowick and his wife Elizabeth half on the surrender of Matthew Kenrick, Elizabeth's father, from 1654, (fn. 33) and the daughters of Christopher Bowman a quarter from 1663. (fn. 34) Roberts surrendered his portion in 1658 to William Haynes, whence it passed in 1659 to William's son Joseph, (fn. 35) in 1669 to Bridget Haynes, and in 1672 to Joseph Blissett and his wife Sarah. (fn. 36) Bowman's daughters conveyed their quarter in 1675 to Thomas Coling and his wife Bridget, with remainder to Bridget's daughter Sarah and her husband Joseph Blissett. (fn. 37) Blissett's executors succeeded in 1708 and held on behalf of his descendants, successively named Joseph. (fn. 38) Lodowick, who probably died c. 1684, left his share to his wife, with remainder to his sons Charles and Thomas. Elizabeth Lodowick had apparently remarried by 1685 when she and David Clarkson were admitted for life. (fn. 39) David Clarkson's sons David, Matthew, and Robert were admitted in 1688 (fn. 40) but by 1692 had surrendered their interests to Charles and Thomas Lodowick. (fn. 41) Thomas Lodowick conveyed part of his lands to Joseph Blissett in 1693 (fn. 42) and Charles Lodowick and Elizabeth Clarkson, presumably his mother, surrendered part in 1700. (fn. 43) The rest, a moiety of Markhams, was left by Charles Lodowick by will dated 1723 to his son Charles, who conveyed it to his sister Elizabeth and her husband George Streatfield in 1734. (fn. 44) George, a London merchant tailor, conveyed it to Joseph Blissett in 1748. (fn. 45) The united estate remained with the Blisset(t) family until it was sold in lots after the death of the Revd. George Blisset of Hereford in 1889. (fn. 46) Development started with a building lease of 9 a. to David Wilmot in 1766. (fn. 47) https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/middx/vol11/pp155-168
