- The name of Gilbert occurs again in 1397, and, finally,
- https://archive.org/stream/curwensofworking00jack#page/15/mode/1up
- another mention is made of him in the Family Pedigree. He was twice married ; first to Alice, daughter of Sir Lowther ; she was the mother of William. His second wife was Isabella de Derwentwater, widow of Christopher Moresby ; a fact, I think, sufficiently proved by the Inquisition quoted below. I do not think that there were any children of this union.
- His son, William, seems early to have taken a very active and prominent part in the stirring events of his time. We first find mention of him in 1376, when he was appointed Constable of "Loghmaban Castle," .... etc. .... He was twice married ; the first time to Elyn, one of the three co-heiresses of Robert de Brun, of Drumburgh Castle, from whose family Brunstock took its name. By her he got a considerable property, consisting of one-third of Bothell, part of Torpenhow, and lands near Carlisle. It does not appear that he had any family by her, although
- https://archive.org/stream/curwensofworking00jack#page/16/mode/1up
- his descendants long continued to give as their own arms quarterly, 1 & 4 Curwen, 2 & 3 Brun, being azure, a lion rampant argent charged with five lozenges gules, langued and armed of the same. There may have been some connection between the Curwens and Bothell previous to this marriage, or the heiress may have been a ward of Sir Gilbert, for in the year 1357 John Coron (note the spelling) of Bothill was buried in the churchyard of Saint Michael, Torpenhowe. A list of the lands said to have been held by William Culwen under Maud de Percy, heiress of the Lucies, at the time of her death in 1398/9, is appended. Between 1399 and 1403 William had a grant from Henry, Earl of Northumberland, Constable of England, and Hotspur, his son, of all their rights in the Manors of Wyrkyngton, Seton, and Thornthawyte in Derwent felles ; and it is especially worthy of note that the grant is "Willmo de Curwen," being the first time we find in the recognized family an authenticated departure from the old spelling of Culwen. I gather from no mean authority that the endorsement "Wilyam de Curwen" is probably in the autograph of the grantee. Mons'r. William de Culwenne was summoned from Cumberland to the King's Privy Council in 1401. Sir Willam's second wife was Margaret, daughter of Sir John Croft, of Claughton, Lancashire, by whom he had, at least, one son, Christopher.
- Sir Christopher Curwen was Lord of Workington from 1404 to 1450, .... etc.
- https://archive.org/stream/curwensofworking00jack#page/18/mode/1up
- .... etc. He died July 17, 1450.
- His wife, Elizabeth de Hudelston, survived him. She was living 7 Edwd. IV (1468). Her survival to this late period clears up a difficulty which has occasioned Canon Knowles and myself much thought in connection with the arms on the monument. It will be observed that the arms at the head of the dexter side are those of Curwen impaling lozengy for Croft, being the arms of Christopher's father and mother ; the next are those of Curwen and Hudleston, his own and those of his wife ; the third coat Curwen only ; the fourth, Curwen impaling six annulets or, for Lowther, their son's arms and those of his wife ; and the last, Curwen impaling the eldest son of Pennington, who pre-deceased his father ; which last were the arms of Christopher, the grandson of the entombed pair, and those of his wife. He raised the monument, his grandmother

- having survived to see him holding the estate, which fell into his hands about the year 1470. And so they lie, — .... etc.
- Sir Christopher was succeeded by his son Thomas, who was Sheriff of Cumberland 28 & 35 Henry VI, Knight of the Shire for that County 14, 20, 27 & 38, and for Westmorland 28th of the same reign. His wife, Anne, was daughter of Sir Robert Lowther. I quote below two
- https://archive.org/stream/curwensofworking00jack#page/20/mode/1up
- statements respecting him from the notes to the old pedigree.
- A second Christopher succeeded his father Thomas. His first wife was Anne, daughter of John, eldest son of Sir John Pennington, who pre-deceased his father. His second wife was Catherine, daughter of Sir Richard Salkeld, of Rosgill. It does not appear that he ever filled the office of Sheriff, and as the Parliamentary Records are lost from 22 Edw. IV to 21 Hen. VIII, we are deprived of one source of information. The old pedigree states that he was living 7 Hen. VII (A.D. 1492).
- Another Thomas succeeded, who was Sheriff ol Cumberland 1 & 8 Hen. VIII. His first wife was Anne, daughter of Sir John Hudleston, of Millom Castle, by whom he had his successor and other children. His second wife, Isabel, is said to have been a daughter of Sir Henry Percy, and widow of Henry Chippard. Probably her father was one of the numerous offshoots of the Percy line existing at that time. He died 14 Hen. VIII (A.D. 1522).
- Another Christopher, being the third of that name, succeeded his father Thomas. He was Sheriff of Cumberland 16 and 25 Hen. VIII. A dispensation was granted August 3, 1492, enabling him to marry Margaret, the daughter of Sir Roger Bellingham, "to whom he was related twice in the fourth degree." _______________________________
