Hello All,
Prior discussions concerning the Skerne family of Bonby, co.
Lincs. noted the descent of the manor of Hutton Cranswick, co.
Yorks. through the marriage of Henry Skerne (d. bef 9 May 1449)
to the daughter of Edmund Hotham of Hutton Cranswick. The exact
descent from the earlier Hothams of Hutton Cranswick (a cadet of
Hotham of Hotham) was at that time not discernible.
Thanks again to our friends at A2A, evidence of this descent
has been found which corresponds to the chronology from ca. 1300
to 1487. This document (or rather a transcript thereof) is an
Exemplification of a recovery relating to lands at Hutton
Cranswick, dated 5 Feb 1488:
' Parties: 1) Edward Skerne
2) William Conyers and wife Elizabeth
Property: 4 messuages, 150 acres land and 20 acres meadow
in Hutton Cranswick.
Recites descent from Sir Geoffrey Hotham to his son Richard
de Hotham to his son Thomas to his son Edward to his
daughter Matilda to her son Edward Skerne.' [2]
As a result of this clarification, we can now show the descent
down to several individuals ca. 1500 and later, including the 17th
century emigrant William Farrar. Below please find the descent
from William [de] Arundel, of Foston on the Wolds, Nafferton,
Auburn and Scorborough (fl. 1166), father of the noted 'Magister
Roger Arundel' and also ancestor of the Constables of Flamborough
and Everinghams of Laxton.
Interestingly, as noted below, it was previously understood that
the daughter and heiress of Edmund Hotham of Hutton Cranswick was
named Elizabeth, and that Henry Skerne was married secondly to one
Maud or Matilda, his widow. This exemplication shows that the lady
was in fact Maud (or Matilda) Hotham. There may have been a prior
wife Elizabeth, but outside this evidence provided by Edmund Skerne
(the grandson of Edmund Hotham) in 1487 there is no corroboration of
same.
Note: due to transmission constraints, this post will be in 2
parts. The second part will provide the relevant sources.
As always, any comment, criticism or added documentation will
be welcome.
Cheers,
John

Hello All,
Prior discussions concerning the Skerne family of Bonby, co.
Lincs. noted the descent of the manor of Hutton Cranswick, co.
Yorks. through the marriage of Henry Skerne (d. bef 9 May 1449)
to the daughter of Edmund Hotham of Hutton Cranswick. The exact
descent from the earlier Hothams of Hutton Cranswick (a cadet of
Hotham of Hotham) was at that time not discernible.
Thanks again to our friends at A2A, evidence of this descent
has been found which corresponds to the chronology from ca. 1300
to 1487. This document (or rather a transcript thereof) is an
Exemplification of a recovery relating to lands at Hutton
Cranswick, dated 5 Feb 1488:
' Parties: 1) Edward Skerne

in Hutton Cranswick.
Recites descent from Sir Geoffrey Hotham to his son Richard
de Hotham to his son Thomas to his son Edward to his
daughter Matilda to her son Edward Skerne.' [2]
As a result of this clarification, we can now show the descent
down to several individuals ca. 1500 and later, including the 17th
century emigrant William Farrar. Below please find the descent
from William [de] Arundel, of Foston on the Wolds, Nafferton,
Auburn and Scorborough (fl. 1166), father of the noted 'Magister
Roger Arundel' and also ancestor of the Constables of Flamborough
and Everinghams of Laxton.
Interestingly, as noted below, it was previously understood that
the daughter and heiress of Edmund Hotham of Hutton Cranswick was
named Elizabeth, and that Henry Skerne was married secondly to one
Maud or Matilda, his widow. This exemplication shows that the lady
was in fact Maud (or Matilda) Hotham. There may have been a prior
wife Elizabeth, but outside this evidence provided by Edmund Skerne
(the grandson of Edmund Hotham) in 1487 there is no corroboration of
same.
