The man was acquitted. The King wrote to the Chief Justice to proceed to a second trial & use all strictness in the process. He did so, but he charged the Jury in favour of the prisoner, who was again acquitted, for which the King deposed the Judge & sent him to the fleet, deputed another in his place, & Burdet was tried again, convicted, & executed. This tale did a Judge (Fleetwood Recorder of London) tell me! The King would have restored him, but he preferred to retire from public life, & settled himself at Sedgebrook, where he built a lodging for himself & two priests (giving up all the rest to his son) in the church, where he spent 20 years in spiritual comtemplation for the good of his soul, & at his death was bur. in the church. He built a window in Cotham Church with his effigies. Made a fish-pond at Sedgebrook just the length & breadth of Westminster Hall, which to this day they call Westminster.

• The line through which Albert Gallatin Markham's descent is traced goes back to Claron, of West Markham, a Saxon chief who, for services rendered at the time of the Norman Conquest, was granted lands which had already been held by his father and grandfather before him. From his son Roger, of East Markham, the line is traced through Fulc, of East Markham; his son Sir Alexander, known as Knight of Castellane, of Nottingham Castle, Nottinghamshire ; his son Sir William, of Markham and Tuxford ; his son Sir Richard ; his son Richard (2) ; his son John, Lord of East Markham, who married John Bottomsell ; their son Sir Robert, a lawyer and King's sergeant, who married Isabell Caunton ; their son Sir John, barrister and judge, who committed Henry, Prince of Wales (son of Henry IV) to the Fleet Prison in London ; his son Sir Robert, who married Elizabeth Burdon ; their son Sir Robert, Knight, who married Sarah Joan Daubeney ; their son Sir John, who married Alicia Skipworth; their son Sir John (3) who was a lieutenant of the famous "Tower of London" and whose daughter was maid of honor to Queen Elizabeth, married (first) Ann Neville, whose mother was a granddaughter of the Earl of

• Somerset, son of Duke of Lancaster, son of Henry III, married (second) Margery Langford, (third) Ann Strelly Stanhope; his son John (4), who married Catherine Babbington; their son Robert, who married (first) Maria Leeke, (second) Jane Burnell ; their son Sir Robert, of Cotham, married Ann Warburton ; their third son Daniel, who was engaged in commercial pursuits and died in Plumstead (now Pirney), Norfolk County, in 1690. after having regained in mercantile pursuits the fortune squandered by his father. Among his children was Daniel Markham, of whom further.
• (I) Daniel Markham, immigrant ancestor of the line herein traced, was born in Plumstead Manor, near Norwich, England, of which city his brother Matthew was mayor in 1634. The brother Matthew had a son, also named Daniel, who was a colonel in the British Army and came to New York with the Duke of York in 1664; the last named Daniel was the ancestor of Admiral Markham, of the British Navy, whose mother, brothers, and sisters, were living in Independence, Iowa, in 1903. Daniel (2) Markham, the immigrant ancestor, arrived in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1665, and in 1665 removed to Middletown, Connecticut, where he became a freeman in 1674, and where he was prominent in the affairs of church and State. He married (first), November 3, 1669, Elizabeth Whitmore, daughter of Lieutenant Francis Whitmore, of Cambridge. She died about 1676, and he married (second) Patience Harris, daughter of William Harris, of Middletown. Children of the first marriage were : Daniel, Elizabeth, and James, of further mention. To the second marriage, also, three children were born: Martha, who died in infancy; Martha, and Edith.
• (II) James Markham, son of Daniel and Elizabeth (Whitmore) Markham, was born March 16, 1675, in Middletown, Connecticut. He married Elizabeth Lock (given as Lock in Volume I and as Lick in Volume II of Middlesex County) and they were the parents of one child John, of whom further.

• JOHN MARKHAM, the eldest, succeeded his father in whatever was rescued from the wreck of the ancient property; and, adopting a courtier's life, the usual resource of an impoverished gentleman of the period, was promoted to the office of Serjeant- at-Arms to James I., a post of much more importance than it is at the present day, Who the lady was that he married, I am unable to discover; he had however issue by her, from whom was descended the late Thomas Markham, Esq. who

• Robert Markham, the second son of Sir Robert, followed the profession of a soldier, and was engaged in the religious wars which were then raging in Germany.
• In 1620, James I. sent 2,200 men to the assistance of his son-in-law, the ill-fated Elector Palatine. They crossed the Rhine, and were ordered by Count Mansfeldt to garrison three important towns, Mannheim, Heidelberg, and Frankendale. Robert Markham, under the command of Sir John de Burg, was posted in the latter town, .... etc.

• DANIEL MARKHAM, the third son of Sir Robert, owing to the improvident habits of his father, was left to make his own fortune in the world as best he might. In this, with the determined and energetic spirit which seemed inherent in his race, he in a great measure succeeded. It is said that he engaged in mercantile pursuits, and became one of those gallant merchant adventurers who were a great means of raising our commerce, as well as our navy, to the flourishing state it has now attained. After a wandering and hazardous life, having amassed a considerable fortune, he settled in the little retired village of Plumsted Magna, near Norwich, and died at a very advanced age, being probably upwards of 90 years old, and was buried in that parish.
• It is not known whom he married, but, as it was probably during the time of the great rebellion, when society was in a very disturbed state, and parish registers very incorrectly kept, it is next to impossible at this distance of time to make the discovery. He had however two sons, Daniel(*) and Matthew. The latter was in holy orders and minister of Plumsted Magna, and marrying Barbara ..... had three sons, who all died in their in fancy. (f)
• DANIEL MARKHAM however was the eldest. It was intended by his father that he should follow the pursuits by which he himself had so well thrived. This proposition however did not coincide with the ambitious views of the son, .... etc. Daniel accordingly left the parental roof, in opposition to the wishes of his father, and, having offered himself as a volunteer under James Duke of York, rose to be an officer of distinction in his service.

He there became acquainted with Captain Fennel, of Cappagh, who had married a daughter of General Fleetwood, by Bridget, daughter of Oliver Cromwell, (+) and widow of General Ireton. His daughter Daniel married, and by her had three sons and a daughter: William, the eldest, of whom hereafter; Matthew, who died without issue; Enoch, who had two sons, Enoch in holy orders, who was Rector of Easton Mauduit, and never married; and Thomas, whose son, George Markham, D.D., was a student of Christ Church, Oxford, by which college he was presented with the living of Tattenhall, in the county of Chester, and died without issue. The name of the daughter is unknown.
  • (*) Will of Daniel Markham, register office, Norwich. Daniel was 92 years of age when he died, and probably in his dotage, for he was unable to sign his will, except by a cross.
