• .... Through the Maulevers the descent may be traced back to nearly all of the Barons of Magna Charta, 1215. The ancestry of Anne Mauleverer Abbott is of unusual interest because of this fact. Edmund Mauleverer, the father of Anne, became a Quaker, and was apparently the only member of the family who changed his faith. The Mauleverers have been Church of England folk since the time of Henry VIII, and were previously Roman Catholics. Edmund's father was James, who married Beatrice, daughter of Sir Timothy Hutton. James' father was William, who married Eleanor, daughter of Richard Oldborough. William's father was Sir Edmund, who married Mary, daughter of Sir Christopher Danby. Sir Edmund's father was Robert, who married Alice, daughter of Sir Niman Markenfield. Roberts father was Sir William, (knighted at Flodden in 1513) who married Anne, daughter of Sir William Conyers, and through this line the descent from Edward III is readily traced. Sir William's father was Robert, who married Joan, daughter of Sir Henry Vavasour. Robert's father was Edmund, who married Alionara, daughter of Sir James Strangwayes. Edmund's father was Robert, who married, Joan ___ , and his father was Sir William Mauleverer, who married Joan de Colville, and succeeded to the Ingleby Arnecliffe estate. The marriage of Robert Mauleverer and Alice Markenfield linked the family to descent from eighteen of the Magna Charter barons, the descent having intermarried between 1215 and 1500. _______________________
