Will of Humphrey Pakington 1556

THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES PROB 11/38/212 1

SUMMARY: The document below is the Prerogative Count of Canterbury copy of the will, dated 14 September 1555 and proved 11 November 1556, of Humphrey Pakington (1502-1556), grandfather of Humphrey Martyn, the addressee of the Langham Letter which describes Leicester’s entertainment of Queen Elizabeth at Kenilworth in the summer of 1575.

The testator states in the will below that he was born in Stanford, Worcestershire. He was the son of John Pakington of Stanford-on-Teme and Elizabeth Washbourne, the daughter and heiress of Thomas Washbourne, second son of Norman Washbourne, esquire, of Washbourne, Worcestershire, by Elizabeth Kniveton, daughter of Henry Kniveton of Bradley, Derbyshire. Thomas Washbourne’s sister, Eleanor Washbourne, married Richard Scrope, esquire, by whom she was the mother of Elizabeth Scrope, who married, as her second husband, John de Vere, 13th Earl of Oxford. See Peach, R.E.M., ed., The Washbourne Family, (Gloucester: John Bellows, 1896), pp. 13, 19, 34-5, and Richardson, Douglas, Magna Carta Ancestry, 2nd ed., 2011, Vol. IV, pp. 199-200.

The testator had three brothers, Sir John Pakington (d.1551), Robert Pakington (c.1489-1536), and Augustine Pakington. See the wills of Sir John Pakington, TNA PROB 11/34/431, and Robert Pakington, TNA PROB 11/27/46, and the Wikipedia articles edited by the author of this summary. In the will below the testator mentions his brother Robert’s widow (‘my sister-in-law, my Lady Dormer’), now the wife of Sir Michael Dormer (d. 20 September 1545). For the will of Katherine (nee Dallam) CollierPakington Dormer, see TNA PROB 11/46/47. For the will of Sir Michael Dormer, see TNA PROB 11/30/546.

The testator leaves gold rings to his nieces, Bridget Pakington and Ursula Pakington (d.1558), the daughters of his brother, Sir John Pakington, and to their respective husbands, Sir John Littleton (d.1590) of Frankley, and William Scudamore (d.1560), i.e. ‘to my cousin John Littleton, esquire, and to my cousin, his wife; to my cousin, William Scudamore, and my cousin, his wife’.

The testator also leaves gold rings to his niece, Anne Pakington, the daughter of his brother Robert Pakington, and to her husband, John Lane (d.1557), and to Richard Cupper, the husband of Elizabeth Pakington, another of the daughters of Robert Pakington, i.e. ‘to my cousin, John Lane, and his wife; to my cousin, Richard Cupper’.

The testator also had three sisters:

- Joyce Pakington, who married firstly William Blount of Wadeley and Glazeley, Shropshire. The testator’s ‘cousin, Thomas Blount of London, mercer’, would appear to have been the son of Joyce Pakington by her first marriage. See Howard, Joseph Jackson and George John Armytage, eds., The Visitation of London in the Year 1568, (London: Harleian Society, 1869), Vol. I, p. 28

See also May, Leonard Morgan, Charlton: Near Woolwich Kent, (London: Charles North, 1908), p. 10

The testator’s sister, Joyce Pakington, married secondly John Corbet of Leigh, whose first wife was Margaret Blount (daughter of Sir Thomas Blount), whose niece, Elizabeth Blount (c.1500–1539x41), was the mistress of King Henry VIII and the mother of the King’s illegitimate son, Henry Fitzroy (1519-1536). See the pedigree of Corbet of Leigh in Grazebrook, George, ed., The Visitation of Shropshire, Part I (London: Harleian Society, 1889), p. 142. In the will below the testator leaves a bequest to ‘my brother-inlaw, Mr John Corbet, esquire’. See also the will of John Salter, TNA PROB 11/24/75.

- Eleanor Pakington who according to the Pakington pedigree in Metcalfe, infra, married a husband surnamed Gravenor, of Shropshire. In the will below the testator leaves a bequest to his ‘cousin, Nicholas Gravenor of Whittemere’ (Whittemere is said to be ‘on the north-west side of the parish of Bobbington, and within the manor of Claverley’). It thus appears to the author of this summary that Eleanor Pakington’s husband was Rowland Gravenor, who died at Bridgnorth in 1522, and whose will was proved by his widow and executrix, Eleanor, in that year.

See ‘Grosvenor, or Gravenor, of High Gravenor, Dallicott, Heathton, Bushbury, Bridgnorth, Etc.’ in Nichols, John Gough, ed., The Herald and Genealogist, (London: J.G. Nichols and R.C. Nichols, 1870), Vol. V, pp. 33-50 at p. 47

- Margery Pakington, who married a husband surnamed Neve, of Essex. The testator’s ‘sister Margery Neve, widow’ is mentioned in the will below. For the pedigree of Neave see The Visitations of Essex, Part II, (London: Harleian Society, 1879), Vol. XIV, p. 683

The testator married Elizabeth Harding, the daughter of Robert Harding (d.1515) of Cranleigh, Chelsham and Knowle, citizen and goldsmith of London. See TNA C1/554/43; the will of Robert Harding, TNA PROB 11/18/194; and the will of Elizabeth (nee Harding) Pakington, TNA PROB 11/46/444.

At the time of the making of his will the testator had eleven living children, four sons (Humphrey, John, Edward and William), and seven daughters, four married (Jane, Katherine, Anne and Alice) and three unmarried (Margery, Martha and Margaret). His daughter Lettice, wife of Sir Roger Martyn (d.1573), and mother of Humphrey Martyn, addressee of the Langham Letter, had predeceased him on 23 December 1552. For the death of Lettice (nee Pakington) Martyn, see Hughes Clarke, A. W., ed., The Registers of St Mary Magdalen Milk Street 1558-1666 and St Michael Bassishaw London 1538-1625 (London, 1942), p. 137. For the will of Sir Roger Martyn, see TNA PROB 11/56/48.

The testator’s son and executor, Humphrey Pakington (d.1558/9), died without issue. For his will, see TNA PROB 11/42B/454.

The testator’s son, John Pakington, married Elizabeth Newport, the sister of Sir Richard Newport (d.1570), owner of a copy of Hall’s Chronicle, formerly Loan 61 in the British Library, containing annotations thought to have been made by Shakespeare. See Keen, Alan and Roger Lubbock, The Annotator, (London: Putnam, 1954). The volume is now in the hands of a trustee, Lord Hesketh. For the will of Sir Richard Newport, see TNA PROB 11/53/456.

Nothing further is known of the testator’s sons, Edward Pakington and William Pakington.

In the will below the testator refers to ‘my five sons-in-law, Roger Martyn, Humphrey Baskerville, Edmund Style, John Lambert and Richard Lambert, and to their five wives’. When Edmund Jackman, citizen and alderman of London, then the husband of Anne Pakington, made his will on 10 May 1568, he referred to the seven daughters of Humphrey Pakington as follows: ‘Anne Jackman, my well-beloved wife; my brother-inlaw, Mr Clement Paston, and my sister Alice Paston, his wife; my brother-in-law, John Lambert, and Katherine, his wife; my brother-in-law, William Coles, and Margaret, his wife; my brother-in-law, Richard Hollyman, and Martha, his wife; my brother-in-law, Robert Burbage, and Margery, his wife; my brother-in-law, Lionel Duckett, and Jane, his wife’. It thus appears from Edmund Jackman’s will that Jane Pakington’s first husband, Humphrey Baskerville, had died, and that she had married Sir Lionel Duckett; that Anne Pakington’s first husband, Edmund Style, had died, and that she had married Edward Jackman; that Katherine Pakington was still married to John Lambert; that Alice Pakington’s first husband, Richard Lambert (the brother of John Lambert), had died, and that she had married Clement Paston; and that since the time of the making of their father’s will Margery Pakington had married Robert Burbage; Martha Pakington had married Richard Hollyman, and Margaret Pakington had married William Coles. For Robert Burbage see the pedigree of Burbage of Parke Hall in Armytage, George John, ed., Middlesex Pedigrees as Collected by Richard Mundy, (London: Harleian Society, 1914), Vol. LXV, pp. 78-80 at: https://archive.org/stream/middlesexpedigre65mund#page/78/mode/2up.

The testator leaves a ring of gold ‘to my cousin, my Lady Denys’, who may perhaps be identified as Elizabeth Monoux, the daughter of Sir George Monoux, Lord Mayor of London, who married firstly Sir Thomas Denny (d.1527), and secondly Robert Dacres (d. 20 November 1543), the brother of the testator’s sister-in-law, Anne (nee Dacres), widow of the testator’s brother, Sir John Pakington (d.1551).
