- ELIZABETH CLIFFORD (d.1566?)
- Elizabeth Clifford was the daughter of Henry Clifford, 1st earl of Cumberland (1493-1542) and Margaret Percy (d.1540). Her father made his will in 1540, when three of his four daughters were already married. He stipulated that if Elizabeth wed an earl or the son and heir of an earl, her dowry would be £1000, but if she wed a baron or the son of a baron, she would only get 1000 marks, and if she stooped so low as to marry a mere knight, her portion would be only 800 marks. At some point after this, Elizabeth married Sir Christopher Metcalfe of Nappa (August 1, 1513-May 9, 1574), although online genealogies persist in saying that she married him in 1533 at the age of nineteen. They had four sons and two daughters including James (d.1579/80).

Sir Thomas was then only 24 years old, and two years later was placed on the Commission of the Peace for the North Riding. .... etc.
- Pg.467
- Sir Thomas died in 1665 and was buried in the family vault in Askrigg Church. By his wife Elizabeth, who was a daughter of Sir Henry Slingsby, of Scriven, he had nine children. James, the eldest was born 1604, and during the greater part of his life practised as a chancery barrister. He continued in sole possession of Nappa until 1657, when by an agreement with his brother Thomas the house was formed into two tenements, .... James was twice married and died in 1671, intestate, when Thomas got possession of the whole of Nappa and had it at his death in 1684. Henry Metcalfe, their youngest brother, who was born about 1620, then succeeded to it, and by his will dated 19th September, 1697, he settled Nappa to the use of his wife Mary for her life, and after her decease to his eldest son Thomas, and the heirs male of his body. .... etc. _______________________
