CHAPTER EIGHT. THE EARLES OF LANCASHIRE.
Perhaps the largest Earle connection in England at the present day is what is known as the Lancashire branch, although the original seat of the family was Cheshire. For this reason it is sometimes called the Cheshire branch.
The earliest known ancestor of this branch is Robert Earle, who is described as having “descended out of the north of England.” He was of Stockton, Co. Chester. He may have had brothers, as there is a mass of Earles in that section, some, of the time of Robert, who can not be joined on to his line. Some of the American branches have been thought to come from the Cheshire-Lancashire stock, and it is quite possible, as descendants of collateral lines may have emigrated to America. But no such connection has ever been shown, and certainly no one of the well-known American branches is descended from Robert’s line.
ROBERT EARLE (A 1) had two sons, John and Gregory. Of John (B 1) we know but little. He possibly married first Katherine, by whom he had a son, Edward, mother and child dying in 1636. There is an entry on the Warrington Register: “1636, Oct.10, Katherine, wife of John Earle, buried.” And just after it is this entry: “1636, Dec. 28, Edward, son of John Earle, buried.” This John was probably a son of Robert and Katherine, his first wife. We know that John left two sons, Robert and Adam, whose descendants, beyond the first generation, are unknown.
GREGORY EARLE (B 2) was married in 1625 to Alis Houlbrucke. He is described as of Stockton, Co. Chester, and Warrington, Co. Lancaster. The latter place was just across the Mersey from Stockton, and became the seat of some members of the family. It is interesting to note that Gregory's name was entered on the marriage register as Gregory “Yearle." The family name was sometimes spelt “Erle” in this branch, suggesting a connection with the Erles of Devon and Dorset, but no such connection has ever been traced.
It is Gregory’s line whose genealogy we purpose to follow, and whose descendants constitute the bulk of the Lancashire branch as we know it. He d. in 1650. leaving several children, the most prominent of whom was
JOHN EARLE (C 5), of Warrington, who was b. in 1627 and d. in 1709. He m. Sarah Warburton and left one son, John, of Liverpool. There were other children, but the only other name we have seen given is that of Rev. Peter Earle, Rector of Grappenhall, Chester, b. 1680, d. 1708.
John, of Warrington, figures largely with some writers on the history of the American Earles. One makes him the earliest known ancestor of the Lancashire Earles and a descendant of the Lincolnshire branch. Another makes him a brother of SirWalter ,of Charborough, and also a brother of Edward Earle, founder of the Secaucus line. A simple statement of the facts of history shows that he had no brother Edward or Walter, and the most thoroughgoing investigation has never discovered any relationship between the Earles of Lancaster and those of Lincoln or Dorset. If there was any such relationship, it was anterior to anything that appears in this history.
JOHN EARLE (D 9), of Liverpool, b. in 1676, was the son of John of Warrington. He was Mayor of Liverpool in 1709. He m. first Eleanor Tyser, by whom he had Thomas, b. and d. in 1702. He m. 2nd, 1709, Mary, only child and heiress of Ralph Finch (kin to Earl of Winchelsea). They had:
- 1. John, who d. without issue;
- 2. Ralph Willis, who assumed that surname andarms (1788) on bequest from Daniel Willis, kinsman (d.1790); m.Dorothy,second daughter and co-heir of Richard Aldersey, of Liverpool;
- 3.William,of West Derby, Co. Lancaster;
- 4. Thomas, of Leghorn, Italy;
- 5. Sarah, d. 1807, m. the Hon. and Rev. John Stanley, Rector of Warwick, brother of the 11th Earl of Derby.

Sir Henry is the genealogist of the Earles of England and their descendants wherever found.
For more than forty years he has searched every available source of information for data concerning the various branches of the family. Not only have we been honored by considerable correspondence with Sir Henry, who has rendered very valuable assistance, but in the summer of 1912, Mrs. Ethel Deodata Earle, widow of the late Prof. Mortimer Lamson Earle of Columbia University, New York City, paid a visit to Norton Lodge, at our request. As her errand had reference to the history not only of the Earles of England, but also to the American branches, a few extracts from her letter will be of interest to the readers of this volume.
- Ventnor, IsleofWight,
- Aug. 5, 1912.
- “My dear Mr. Earle:
- “You will be glad to hear that I have at last carried out your wish and come to the Isle of Wright. I was five days in Yarmouth and was received very kindly and hospitably by Sir Henry Earle, who put all his charts at my disposal, and gave much of his time to elucidate them. He has been an indefatigable enthusiast on the subject of the Earle genealogy, and his industry is also wonderful, for he has drawn up the charts himself beautifully, and painted in all the coats of arms, which distinguish the Earle branches. He has given much thought to the American connections, and has drawn several hypothetical charts, trying to piece them together, but I am sorry to say, he has no further light on the subject than what he has already given you.
- (We have incorporated the information received with the history of the several branches).
- “The branches of Earles in England are numerous, and scarcelv any of them can piece on to the Devon and Dorset lines. Even Sir Henry cannot connect himself with the latter. His earliest known ancestor, Robert Earle, of Stockton, and of N. Warrington, Lancashire, who died about 1560, seems to stand quite alone, and is believed to have descended out of the north of England. But these Earle branches are all finding a place on the magnificent chart which Sir Henry is laboriously tracing during the winter months. Ele has still to fill in the Yorkshire Earles this coming winter.
- “Sir Henry has verified everything according to wills. He showed me tin box after tin box filled with copies of wills. He has spent a great deal of money first and last on his researches, and what he doesn’t know seems to be almost unknowable.
- “I spent some time reading over your correspondence with Sir Henry (he has carefully kept it, as well as the letters of Richard H. Earle, of Marietta, Georgia) and I noted some of your questions, which I will try here to answer:
- “You have the Lincolnshire Earles as complete as Sir Henry, from Sir Richard 1629 to 4th Sir Richard. He knows of no others. The line has not been made out fully, nor has any connection been established between it and the Lancashire branch. Neither is the connection between Lincolnshire and Somerset known, nor Lincolnshire or the other branches with Norfolk. They all seem to stand apart.
- “I noted that you wished the line of Sir Thomas of Bradenbrook, and I have copied it off for you. But it will not throw any new light. In fact, it is difficult to piece it with the main branch—evidence is lacking, though the names speak for themselves— and it dies out or disappears. But, of course, it is interesting. As you see, it is most hopeless and discouraging to try and give a complete history of the English Earles. As for copying all the charts in Sir Henry’s possession (though he would be quite willing to allow it) it would mean an endless task, and it would really lead to nothing, as far as the American Earles are concerned.
- “Sir Henry is a fine type of an Earle, with ruddy countenance and clear-cut, handsome features. Though he has been severely wounded, he is in perfect health, younger than I expected to see him, an ardent yachtsman and fond of horseback riding. I met Lady Earle and their only child, a daughter, Phyllis Audrey, aet. 20. The title goes to his younger brother, Hardman Arthur, at his death, and with the title go ali the genealogical records.
- “I urged Sir Henry to publish them, or at least to have a copy made accessible to all the Earle families, and safe from accidents like fire. But he seemed to think it was sufficient for them to go with the title and be inherited from generation to generation.
- “You will be interested to know that Sir Henry owns also several handsome Earle portraits, going back five generations to his 3 times great grandfather, John, Mayor of Liverpool, in 1709. All are handsome men with handsome wives. The portraits are in oil, or miniatures. Sir Henry comes of a race to be proud of, and he lives up to it.”
One object in giving these excerpts—besides the picture of Sir Henry which they present—is to correct the impression which some seem to have, that if one could only go to England or send an agent., it would be easy to establish the connection of the American branches with the parent stock in the fatherland. It must be evident that what Sir Henry and his brother have failed to do after forty years of patient and persistent search of parish and court records, no novice from this side of the water would be able to accomplish. Mrs. Earle copied from the Clergy List for 1912 the names of thirteen clerymen of the Church of England by the name of Earle, only four of whom are accounted for in Sir Henry's chart. The rest, with all their opportunities for research, know less about their family connections than Sir Henry.
Further, since much that we have given in this part of our book has never been published before and, in all probability, never will be, we believe that our readers will be glad to have this account of our English ancestors and cousins.
We conclude this chapter and Part I. of our book with the
