  • 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

    • THE DISPOSAL OF THE ESTATE OF FRANCIS WHITMORE OF CAMBRIDGE, IN NEW ENGLAND.
      • [Communicated by W. H. Whitmore.]
  • After the payment of my just debts, I do give unto my loving wife the use and enfeofment of my whole estate in housing, lands and moveables (excepting that part of my land by me already given unto my son Samuel) during her widowhood for her livelihood and for the bringing up of my three youngest children, and for the expending of what learning she shall be able upon them. But if she marry to another man, my will is that she shall have thirty pounds out of my moveable estate to dispose of as she shall see meet. To my two youngest sons Thomas and Joseph I do give my housing, barns and my part of the new mill, with all my lands thereunto belonging ; excepting that part of the land by me set out and delivered to my son Samuel which shall be the full of his portion ; he not to share in any after division of any part of my estate to be equally divided between them. They to enter upon the possession thereof at the age of twenty and one years of age if their mother be not then living; but if she be then living and continue my widow, she shall not be dispossessed of any part of my estate during her life. Also my will is that what of my estate do remain at my wife's decease or marriage which of them shall first happen, with what each of my children have already had being added thereunto, shall be equally divided among them, to each an equal share. My two youngest sons to have the housing and lands as aforesaid and to pay out of them to the rest of my children that which shall be accounted due to them, as followeth : My eldest son Francis his part to be due him two full years after the possessing of my youngest son of the housing and lands as aforesaid. The second two years after; the third two years after, and so successively till all be paid. To my grandchildren of Daniel Markham which he had by my daughter Elizabeth, I do give to each of them twenty shillings out of my estate. Also I do nominate my loving friends William Locke Sen. of Woburn and Francis Moore of Cambridge to be my executors of this my last will.

  • Francis Whitmore, of Cambridge, is mentioned by William Wilcox as one in his "family meeting." Now believing as we do that Jacob Eliot, Jr., m. the widow Wilcox, it is to be noted that Dea. John Whitmore (son of Francis) m. Rachel, dau. of Francis Eliot, own cousin to Jacob E., Jr., and Abigail Whitmore, sister of Dea. John, m. Samuel Wilcox, of Middletown, son of John W., Jr. Again, Mary Stoughton, niece of John Wilcox, Jr., and sister of the wife of Samuel Farnsworth, m. John Eliot, grandson of the Rev. John E., and cousin once-removed to Jacob, Jr., and to Rachel Eliot.
  • Although there was no known relation between Thomas Whitmore, of Middletown, and Francis Whitmore, of Cambridge, it is some-what strange that Francis's oldest son, Francis, Jr., went to Middletown, as did two of his daughters, who m. respectively Daniel Markham and Samuel Wilcox. But if the Middletown Wilcoxes, Halls and Whitmores were relatives of the Cambridge Wilcoxes, Halls and Whitmores, then such a removal would be natural. ______________________________

  • WILLIAM HARRIS, (son of Elizabeth,) had a house-lot granted to him in Rowley, adjacent to the lot of John Harris, 10, 11, 1643-4. His wife "Eedy" or Edith was admitted to the church at Charlestown, in 1642. They removed to Rowley before 1646, and their daughter Mary was born there 1, 1, 1645[-6 ?]. William Harris bought land in Malden of his "father-in-law, Wm. Stitson," and sold the same 12, 4, 1652, his wife "Edee" relinquishing dower. At that time he seems to have been living in Charlestown, where he was also in 1653, and was called "yeoman." He bought a house and land in Hartford, Conn., of William Williams, April 16, 1659. Subsequently he removed to Middletown, where " Eudith," his "wife," "departed this life August 5, 1685)." Mr. William Harris is said to have died in 1717, at an advanced age. He does not seem to have had any sons, and no record of the births of his daughters, except of Mary, the eldest, has been found. Their names, however, are known by sundry deeds of real estate conveyed to them by their father, in his life-time, in 1668, 1671, and 1678, and also by the probate records, where some of their names appear. They were Mary, Martha, Elizabeth, Hannah, and Patience. Mary was married first to John Ward of Middletown, and secondly to John Gilbert, whom also she survived. By her first husband she had John, 1665, Andrew, 1667, Esther, 1669, Mary, 1672, William, 1674, Samuel, 1679, and another who died in infancy. Martha was married to William Coit of New London. Elizabeth was married to Edward Foster of Middletown. Hannah was married, Feb. 8, 1654-5, to Lieut. Francis Wetmore of Middletown, and had ten children, the oldest of whom was named Edith. This

On the 3d of August, 1722, there was a distribution of property of William Harris, deceased, to the "heirs of Mary Gilbert, deceased, to heirs of Martha Coit, deceased, to Elizabeth Foster, Hannah Whitmore, and Patience Markham." _____________________

Her mother, the daughter of Sir Humphrey FitzLewes, was a grand-daughter and coheir of Edmund Beaufort, Marquess and Earl of Somerset (slain at the battle of St. Alban's), the grandson of John of Gaunt Duke of Lancaster (third son of King Edward III.) and Catherine Swynford, daughter of Sir Payn Roet, Guyenne King at Arms.

  • 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.

  • .... etc. Daniel Markham quitted the army soon after his return to his native land, and, unwilling to settle near his father, retired to Ireland, where in all likelihood he had contracted some intimacies during his military life, and resided in the neighbourhood of Kilkenny. 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.

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.

  • From http://www.middletown1650.org/Middler1016ForWeb.pdf(CBRMC): The biography of Ernest Arthur Markham, M.D. of Durham, Conn., a descendant of Deacon Daniel Markham, contains a summary of a 17-generation lineage extending back to the apparent origin of the Markham surname in Nottinghamshire. The summary of this line begins in 1066 with (I) Claron, a Saxon Chief of West Markham, and continues down through (XVI) Sir Robert of Cotham (1564- 1604); (XVII) Daniel Markham of Plumstead (in Norfolk County), commercial merchant (d. 1690); and (XVIII) Deacon Daniel Markham, who “arrived in Cambridge, Mass. in 1665, whence he removed to Middletown, Conn. in 1667.” [Com- piler’s note: While many English and American researchers have attempted to establish a connection between Deacon Daniel Markham and the noble pedigreeof Sir Robert Markham of Cotham, whose ancestry has been traced back to the apparent origin of the Markham surname in the village of Markham in Nottinghamshire in 1066, such a connection has not yet been convincingly made. The basis for the English Markham lineage summarized above was the work of Sir Clements Markham (Markham Memorials, 2 vols., London, 1913). The English heritage of Deacon Daniel Markham has not been proven beyond his 1641 birth to James Markham and Martha Collins inEarls Colne, Essex, England. (White & White)](GFHC): “Deacon Daniel Markham, father of Daniel [Jr.], came to New England in 1665, and lived at Cambridge and Middletown; married November 3, 1669, Elizabeth Whitmore, born May 1, 1649. Deacon Daniel is said to be the son of Daniel Markham, brother of Mathew, mayor of Norwich, England, 1665, and son of Sir Robert Markham.” (pg. 809) [Compiler%E2%80%99s note: See compiler's note for the CBRMC source, above.](HCCM): “July 12: 1680 Daniel Marckham Plantife. In behalf of his wife Contra John Jordan defnt : in an action of the case for defaming & Slandering the sayd Markham his wife in reporting she had been with Child formerly & shee & Mrs foster made it away & that her husband heardof it & Sayd he could forgiue her the former but that he could not with other defamatory Expressions to the damage of one hundred pownds. John Jordan In court agreed to pay Daniel Markham Forty Shillings in Currant pay, & to pay the Cost of this court & to cause his wife to signe the acknowledge- ment presented in Court & to deliuer the Same to Markham to be used & Improued as he sees cause, upon which Marckham withdraws his action, & engageth to be Sattisfyed when the agreement is performed.” (Vol. 4, pg. 277)(HMC): Town meeting records show that in 1677 Daniel Markham was a settler in Middletown (pg. 64). In 1679, Daniel was one of 64 owners of abell purchased by Middletown inhabitants to be hung in the meeting house (pg. 67-68). Daniel Markham and his two sons, James and Daniel, Jr., were admitted as inhabitants of Middletown on Jan. 5, 1708/9 (pg. 70). Daniel Markham is listed as a Deacon in 1690. (pg. 134)(MAN): As documented in the Hartford, Conn. Probate Court records, during the 1690s Daniel Markham assisted in several probate actions involving the inventory and evaluation of several estates, as follows:On 30 June 1690, Daniel Marcum, William Sumner, and Isack Johnson inventoried the estate of deceased Middletown resident William Lucas (Vol.I, pg. 483). In February-March 1690/1, Daniel Marcum, Samuel Collins,and William Sumner inventoried the estate of deceased Middletown resident Samuel Eglestone, Sr. Also on this occasion, Deacon Daniel Marcumand Ensign Samuel Collins were also made Guardians and Overseers of five Eglestone children, with Daniel being the court-approved guardian for Susannah, Mary, and Ebenezer Eglestone (Vol. I, pg. 442-443). On 3March 1690/1, Daniel Marcum, Samuel Collins, and William Cheeny inventoried the estate of deceased Middletown resident Thomas Andrews (Vol.I, pg. 400). On 12 April 1693, Daniel Markham assisted court-appointed estate administra- tor Alexander Allyn with the inventory and distribution of the estate of deceased Winsor resident Joseph Denslow (Vol. I, pg. 438). On 1 February 1695/6, Daniel Markham, Samuel Bidwell, andWilliam Sumner inventoried the estate of deceased Middletown residentSamuel Collins, who was the first cousin of Daniel Markham. Daniel Markham, William Sumner, and John Hamlin were also appointed as Overseers in the distribution of the estate on 3 March 1695/6 (Vol. I, pg. 429-430). On 18 Feb 1711/2, the records describe the probate proceedings following the death of Deacon Daniel Markham on 6 February 1711/2. Settlement of the will took several years, until August 1718, during which time there was a record of dissatisfaction with the administration of the will by the executrix, Daniel’s widow, Patience, including twoappeals made by Daniel’s sons to the Superior Court (Vol. II, pg. 256-257). The final record mentioning Daniel Markham in this source came on 6 September 1720 in conjunction with the administration of the will of William Harris, the father- in-law of Daniel Markham. In that record, Daniel is men- tioned as one of the recipients of one or more unrecorded parcels of land that had passed by deed of gift from William Harris to Daniel Markham and others in the lifetime of William Harris (Vol. II, pg. 396-397).(NEHGSR): “On 6 October 1687, William Harris traded the Middletown lot ‘where his house standeth’ and other parcels to William Sumner for Sumner’s ‘house and land’ in Boston’s North End, and another lot ‘neare Charlstowne fery’ (MLR Vol 1, pg. 138). In December 1692, William Harris’ daughter Patience and husband Daniel Markham of Middletowne’ release their interest in this Boston property to Francis Whitmore (Suffolk County Deeds, Vol. 16, pg. 125).” (NEHGR Vol 164, pg. 169)(SAV): “MARKHAM, DANIEL, Cambridge, m. 3 Nov. 1669, Eliz. D. of Francis Whitmore had James, b. 16 Mar. 1675, perhaps freem. 1674, rem. To Middletown and m. Patience, d. of William Harris.” (Vol. III, pg. 152)(TAG): “The will of Deacon Daniel Markham of Middletown, dated 23 Nov. 1708, proved 7 Apr. 1712, mentioned his wife Patience and several children; he gave to “my daughter Martha Center” £ 44-10-08 (i.e.,44 pounds, 10 shillings, and 8 pence), also 4 or 5 rods of ground “where Jonathan Center's house standeth.” (Vol. 20, pg. 111)
