John Hatfeild Kaye and Augusta-Ann Wentworth

"John was born in 1731, eldest son of John and Esther Hatfeild. Esther was the daughter of Jonas Kaye of Millshaw Hall in Kirkburton. When her brother John Kaye came into possession of his lands in 1728 he abandoned Millshaw Hall, disliking its bleak and inaccessible situation, and the building fell into decay while he took up residence in the newly built Butterley Hall in Fulstone. He died without issue in 1745 and left the estate to his wife for the remainder of his life, and then afterwards to his nephew, on condition that he take the surname Kaye. John Kaye’s wife remarried and her second husband got the coal from the Butterley estate, cut down its timber and otherwise impaired its value, causing a legal dispute on the grounds of waste to erupt between the two families, which went on for many years at great cost to both parties."
