Thomas Wendy, Esq., son of Francis Wendy, nephew and heir of Sir William Wendy, C. W. 95. 648–49; 541. 814. The fortunes of this house were established by Thomas Wendy, court physician to Henry VIII, Edward VI, and Mary, who received from the Crown grants of land in Cambridgeshire. These estates descended to Sir William Wendy of Haslingfield, co. Cambridge, sheriff of Cambridge and Huntingdon, who died March 4, 1624, leaving as heir his nephew Thomas aged “nine years or thereabouts.” Thomas's mother, “Elizabeth (Wentworth) Wendy,” was his committee. C. W. 541. 916. Their legal troubles were numerous. With Emmanuel Downing as attorney, they brought suit against John Allen concerning a certain windmill erected by the defendant near the ward's manor of Ellsworth, co. Cambridge. The plaintiff was relieved and the defendant was dismissed, but it was directed that the defendant's daughter, Elizabeth Allen, “shalbe hereby comitted to the prison of the Fleete for her Contempt of this Courte.” C. W. 95. 648–649 (decree); 542. 1183, 1213, 1263, 1420, 1422; see 541. 814, 874, 902. This suit against Bestney Bettes concerned three acres of meadow “in a grownd called Willey-hill pretended to be parcell of the wardes mannor of Chatterys.” The court ordered that the defendant be discharged and the plaintiff seek further evidences. C. W. 542. 1083; 543. 141, 235. Wendy was knighted at the coronation of Charles II, and was M. P. for Cambridgeshire from 1660 to his death, about 1673.

Robert Darcy died in 1618, leaving a son and heir Edward, aged eight, who was lord of the manors of Coulsdon, Sutton Abbas, and (for a time) Epsom, all in Surrey. The suit of “Edward Darcy esq. his Maiesties ward . . . plaintiff by Informacion against Henry Newdigate esq. John Somers and James Mathewes defendantes” was heard June 19, 1628, “beinge for incrochementes vpon the wardes Mannor of Ellesham in two seuerall parcells of ground thone called Nutshambles peene, and thother Abbotteshill.” Newdigate claimed that these parcels were within the manor of Ashstead. It was ordered that the matter should be tried by a jury at the next assizes in the county of Surrey. C. W. 534. 141, 221.

John Edsaw matriculated as pensioner at Cambridge (Queens' College), Easter, 1611; B. A., 1614–15; M. A., 1618. Incorporated at Oxford, August 12, 1645. In his will of 1648 in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury he is described as of Chailey, Sussex, Clerk. Venn, Alumni Cantab. , II. 87.

Philip Bennett of West Meston, near Chailey and Lewes, Sussex, was admitted of the Inner Temple in 1626. January 31, 1628, he is said to be twenty years of age and “married by lycens of this Courte.” C. W. 542. 1385. The suit was against “John Edsawe Clerke” of Chailey (M. A., Cambridge, 1618), and “John Aylewin gent.,” of Lewes. Bennett's father, also named Philip, had bequeathed to Aylwin the lease for life of the manor of the farm of Wotton in Sussex, and made him his executor. The ward being young, Edsawe proved the will and took administration during the ward's minority, being appointed committee of his body and lands. According to Edsawe's deposition, he had charges against Bennett amounting to 898 li. 4 s. 1½ d.; and it seems that he had been taking for his own use the rent paid by Aylwin as tenant of Wotton Farm. The court proceeded to the aid of the ward by order and injunction. Aylwin was directed to pay the current rent to Bennett, to account for arrears, and to deliver possession. The cleric, however, had still to be reckoned with. October 9. 1628, “Phillip Bennett gent, maketh oath that . . . John Edsawe and one Robert Swale beinge bothe armed with swordes and short staves” occupied the farm and refused him entrance; they “seemed to scoffe at the said order” of court. C. W. 542. 1476, 1492; 543. 15, 42, 76, 118, 199, 225; 567. 195, 339, 357, 435, 463, 594, 638, 657.

“Thomas Chapman Committee of Roger Chapman sonne of John Chapman deceased,” and Jane Pudsey, widow and executrix of Ambrose Pudsey gent. The case concerned rent charges, dating from 1573, on “certaine closes and landes parcell of the demesne of the Mannor of Pyckton in the Countie of Yorke,” in favor of “the Schollers and poore people of the Almes house or hospitall in the honour of our Saviour Christ in the Towne of Gisberne in Cleveland” in the said county. C. W. 96. 41–42 (decree); 542. 1470; 543. 87, no, 141, 290. Winthrop's bill of charges is given below, p. 38.

May 7, 1628, it is noted that the sheriff of Kent “hath retorned a cepi corpus vpon the Attachment heeretofore awarded against Thomas Paine and Alice his wife defendantes at the suite of the most reverend Father in god George [Abbot] Lord Arch Bishop of Canterbury plaintiff.” He was directed to bring in their bodies “by wednesdaie next.” This he failed to do. C. W. 543. 37, 88; see 542. 1399.

Robert Warner was “of Chippinge Sodbury in the County of Gloucester Clothworker.” C. W. 566. (unpaged), June 11, 1627. See the letter of Robert Nelson to John Winthrop of January 20, 1629. The suit concerned a copyhold, messuage and lands in Oldbury and Kenton in co. Gloucester, possession of which Warner was alleged to have obtained “by some meanes vnknowne.” C. W. 567. 133. The court awarded an injunction for possession to the plaintiff, Henry Stafford (1621–37), fourteenth Baron Stafford, for whom see the biographical sketch by his cousin, Anthony Stafford, entitled Honour and Vertue Triumphing over the Grave (London, 1640). By an office found after the death of his father, the Honorable Edward Stafford, Henry, a posthumous son, was found to be in ward to the king. In 1625, the Earl of Arundel and Surrey “did compound with his Maiestie for the wardship of the body and marriage of the said Henry.” C. W. 541. 652, March 15, 1626. Emmanuel Downing was Stafford's attorney. C. W. 543. 563, November 12, 1628. See also 541. 961, 1018; 542. 1071; 543. 236, 341, 615; 567. 81; Robinson, John Winthrop as Attorney, 22.

Henry Brabyn, Esq., of Mansergh Manor, co. Westmoreland, died February n, 1618. At the time of the suit an interest in his properties in co. Lancaster and the West Riding of York had descended to his grandchild, William Brabyn, a ward of the king, Roger Otway being his committee. C. W. 96. 272–273 (decree); 543. 37, 84, 124. “Thomas Middleton of Leighton in the Countie of Lancaster esq. was indebted vnto Henry Brabin gent, vppon a stattute with Indentures of defezance for payment of xx li. yearely.” Middleton failed to pay this yearly rent; he was also indebted to the king, and the sheriff or undersheriff of York was directed to repay to William Brabyn the sum of 4 li. which they levied upon the latter's lands, evidently in connection with this debt, and to stay all process against the tenants on account of the debt due to his majesty. C. W. 542. 1460, 1499.

See p. 37, infra, for the Portis wardship.

Edward Darby is called “an Infant”; Edward Goldwyer was his representative, presumably his committee, and Winthrop was his attorney. C. W. 542. 1133, 1218, 1437, 1479; John Winthrop as Attorney, 11–12. The plaintiff was Henry Neville, Lord Abergavenny (d. 1641). On this ancient barony and the famous struggle, 1587–1604, for the succession between the heir general and the heir male, see Cokayne, Complete Peerage, new ed., I. 37. The title is derived from Abergavenny Castle in Monmouthshire, of which Clarke remarks in his British Gazetteer that “this fortress has been the scene of more treachery, villany, and murder, than any stronghold in the kingdom, black as is the history of many of them.”

Sir Robert Lewkenor of Acrise, co. Kent. He was son of Sir Edward Lewkenor for whom see Vol. I. 153. Sir Robert and his sister-in-law, Dame Mary Lewkenor, were “Commyttees of the wardship and leassees of the Lands” of the latter's son Edward (1613–34). The suit concerned that portion of tithes of Preston or West Preston, co. Sussex, which Thomas Lewkenor, Esq., deceased, great-uncle of the ward, held from the dean and chapter of the cathedral church of Chichester by a lease yet unexpired. C. W. 96. 32–35 (decree). The defendants were Anselm Fowler of Stonehouse, co. Gloucester, and his wife Judith, daughter of Thomas Bulman of London, merchant. C. W. 542. 1155, 1275, 1376; Sussex Archaeological Society Collections , III. 89–102; Visitation of Gloucester (H.S., Pub. , XXI), 62.

Sir William Monson (1607–c. 1678) of Kennersley, Surrey, second son of Sir Thomas Monson, baronet, was created, August 23, 1628, Viscount Monson of Castlemain. He was one of the regicide judges, and, though he did not sign the death warrant of Charles I, he was deprived of all his honors at the Restoration, and drawn to Tyburn on a sledge, with a rope round his neck, on the anniversary of the king's execution in 1663. The first of his three wives was the Dowager Countess of Nottingham: Margaret, daughter of James Stuart, Earl of Murray. The Earl of Nottingham mentioned in this case was her stepson, Charles Howard the second Earl, who succeeded to the title in 1624. Winthrop represented the Dowager Countess and her husband. The action was upon a bill of complaint against the Dowager Countess for not having paid from her first husband's estate to the second Earl the sum of 1000 li. as ordered by a decree of the Court of Wards in 16 James I. Sir Robert Naunton's letter of November 24, 1627, to the Countess, written in pursuance of an order of the court to show cause why they should not pay the sum (C. W. 542. 1137), is printed in Vol. I. 370. November 17, 1627, her counsel alleged in her behalf that she was neither executrix nor heir of her late husband. C. W. 542. 1196. Other entries, besides those printed in Robinson, John Winthrop as Attorney, 19, 20–21, are C. W. 543. 4, 187, 557.

John Markey the elder had sons William, John, and Philip. William died leaving a son John, the ward. It was alleged that on the marriage of William, John Markey the elder promised that the lands called Mills Farm in co. Hereford should descend to him and his heirs. The court decreed that Philip Markey should reconvey Mills Farm to “John Markey the younger his Maiesties ward.” C. W. 96. 172–174 (decree); 542. 1096, 1115, 1357, 1398, 1429; 543. 47; 566.

Sir Samuel Tryon (1617–65), second baronet, of Bois Hall in Halstead, co. Essex, grandson of Peter Tryon of London, a refugee from the persecutions under the Duke of Alva who is said to have brought with him £60,000 from the Low Countries. About 1627 Sir Edward Wortley, the second husband of Sir Samuel's stepmother, obtained the wardship of him, “wasted his estate, and married him young, to a niece of his own, for whom his ward had no real affection, which made him careless and wasteful of his patrimony.” “Moyses Tryon of London ar[miger]” appears as elder brother of the first baronet, Sir Samuel's father, in Visitations of Essex, I. 303. Peter Tryon is called “sonne of the said Moyses” in C. W. 542. 1373.
