Initially the <strong>Revells</strong> <strong>of</strong> Shropshire formed a small section <strong>of</strong> Part 5 dealing with Yorkshire and dealt only with those <strong>Revells</strong> who<br />
migrated from Bradfield to <strong>Shifnal</strong>. When it became clear that there was at least one other well-established group <strong>of</strong> <strong>Revells</strong> in<br />
Shropshire, and that these were established before the better-known group arrived from Bradfield, the decision was taken to give<br />
them their own chapter.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Revells</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong><br />
Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Stannington and <strong>Shifnal</strong><br />
As discussed in Part 5, Pedigree MS 170 and Pedigree 171 indicate that a Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Stannington moved to <strong>Shifnal</strong> in<br />
Shropshire at some imprecisely defined date. This Thomas, baptised at Bradfield on September 26 th 1582 was the son <strong>of</strong><br />
Richard Revell <strong>of</strong> Stannington and Margaret Revell, who is though to be the daughter <strong>of</strong> a William Revell — see Part 5.<br />
Thomas Revell and his parents were recorded as recusants at Bradfield in 1604. 1<br />
In 1613 Paver’s Marriage Licences records that a licence was issued for Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Ecclesfield to marry Ann Wilson <strong>of</strong><br />
Bradfield at either place. 2 <strong>The</strong>y married at Bradfield (within Ecclesfield parish) on November 16 th 1613. 3 On April 13 th 1615<br />
Richard Revell <strong>of</strong> Stannington surrendered his messuage lands in the Manor <strong>of</strong> Sheffield to Thomas Revell his son and heir<br />
and Christopher Wilson <strong>of</strong> Bromehead, Thomas’s father-in-law. 4 Anne Wilson was baptised at Bradfield on April 15 th 1593 and<br />
was a beneficiary in her father’s will, dated July 12 th 1622. 5<br />
Despite the statements in Pedigrees MS 170 and Pedigree 171 it has not been possible to obtain unequivocal pro<strong>of</strong> that Thomas<br />
did move to <strong>Shifnal</strong>, and the only other reference located so far that makes this claim cites the will <strong>of</strong> a Humphry Brammall<br />
(Anne Revell née Wilson’s grandfather), 6 and this will has not been located. However, the absence <strong>of</strong> burial records at<br />
Bradfield for this Thomas Revell and his wife Anne Revell, suggest that they did indeed move away. <strong>The</strong>re are at least four and<br />
possibly six Memorial Inscriptions at <strong>Shifnal</strong> that relate to the <strong>Revells</strong>, 7 two <strong>of</strong> which relate to grandchildren (see below) but it<br />
has not been possible to access details <strong>of</strong> the others. 8 <strong>The</strong>re is a record in 1646 / 7 <strong>of</strong> an Ann Revell in connection with the<br />
Manor <strong>of</strong> Stanton Lacy in Shropshire who might be Anne Revell née Wilson, but could possibly be a daughter, discussed below.<br />
<strong>The</strong> name Revell does not appear in <strong>The</strong> Visitation <strong>of</strong> Shropshire dated 1623, and baptism records at Bradfield indicate that this<br />
9, 10<br />
move to <strong>Shifnal</strong> probably did not occur before late 1624 at the earliest. Also, a Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Stannington, yeoman,<br />
recorded as a recusant in late 1632 seems likely to be this individual. 11 Thomas and Anne’s son Edward Revell seems still to be<br />
in Yorkshire in 1638 and it is possible that his siblings were baptised at Bradfield as late as 1636. 12 <strong>The</strong> earliest record <strong>of</strong> a<br />
Revell in the <strong>Shifnal</strong> area <strong>of</strong> Shropshire so far located refers to an Ann Revell in 1646 / 7, but it is not clear whether this is<br />
Thomas’s wife or putative daughter. <strong>The</strong> earliest unequivocal record is to their son Edward Revell at some date in the period<br />
1650 to 1655.<br />

Little more is known with regard to Thomas and <strong>Shifnal</strong>, but a Thomas Revell son <strong>of</strong> Richard who is referred to in the wills <strong>of</strong><br />
John Revell <strong>of</strong> Smallfield (1620) and Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Brampton) 1640 is almost certainly this individual. <strong>The</strong>ir connections<br />
to him are obscure but might be through Thomas Revell’s wife Margaret Revell son <strong>of</strong> William Revell — see table 55.<br />
In contrast, the Thomas Revell living in 1644, referred to in the will <strong>of</strong> Rowland Revell who married Elizabeth Percy, is much<br />
more likely to be Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Ricketfield. This interpretation is supported by the parish records at Bradfield that do not<br />
record the baptism <strong>of</strong> a Rowland Revell son <strong>of</strong> Richard Revell, but do show a Rowland Revell baptised 1602 son <strong>of</strong> William<br />
Revell <strong>of</strong> Ricketfield. 13 This mis-interpretation has led to claims in pedigrees 170 and 171 that Rowland Revell who married<br />
Elizabeth Percy is a brother <strong>of</strong> Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong> and Stannington.<br />
Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Stannington and Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Ricketfield (baptised October 15 th 1595, son <strong>of</strong> William Revell) are<br />
contemporaries and both had children baptised at Bradfield in the same period. 14 In the period 1615 to 1636 Bradfield parish<br />
registers record the baptism <strong>of</strong> 13 children (eight daughters and five sons) to a Thomas Revell, but it is clear from the dates<br />
(baptisms in July and November 1622, December 1628 and April 1629, and January 1632 / 3 and August 1633) that there were<br />
at least two Thomas <strong>Revells</strong> fathering children in that period. Because the baptism records do not name the mothers, and<br />
because the date <strong>of</strong> Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Ricketfield’s marriage is not known, it is impossible to identify from these registers<br />
which Thomas is the father <strong>of</strong> any particular child.<br />
<strong>The</strong> children <strong>of</strong> Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Stannington and <strong>Shifnal</strong><br />
Pedigrees MS 170 and Pedigree 171 both show that Thomas and Ann had four sons, Edward Revell, Rowland Revell, Thomas<br />
Revell (possibly <strong>of</strong> Wadsley) and William Revell, presumably born in the period ca 1614 to ca 1634, and plausibly at Bradfield.<br />
No daughters are shown in either pedigree. As explained above, Rowland Revell does not belong to this Thomas.<br />
<strong>The</strong> thirteen relevant baptisms, father Thomas Revell, in the Bradfield registers are : 15<br />
• Rosimonde, daughter <strong>of</strong> Thomas Revell, bapt 19 Apr 1615.<br />
• Edward, sonn <strong>of</strong> Thomas Revell, bap 17 Aug 1617, ano prd.<br />
• Elizabeth, daughter <strong>of</strong> Thomas Revell, bap 27 Feb 1619.<br />
• Dorothie, daughter <strong>of</strong> Thomas Revell, bap 21 Jul 1622.<br />
• Anne, daughter <strong>of</strong> Thomas Revell, bap 6 Nov 1622.<br />
• Thomas, sonn <strong>of</strong> Thomas Revell, bapt 25 Apr 1624.<br />
• Mary, daughter <strong>of</strong> Thomas Revell, bapt 16 Apr 1626.<br />
• Edward, son <strong>of</strong> Thomas Revell, bapt 27 Dec 1628.<br />
• Thomas, son <strong>of</strong> Thomas Revell, bapt 5 Apr 1629.<br />
• Elizabeth, daughter <strong>of</strong> Thomas Revell, bapt 16 Jan 1630.<br />
• Sara, daughter <strong>of</strong> Thomas Revell, bapt 12 Jan 1632.<br />
• William, son <strong>of</strong> Thomas Revell, bapt 11 Aug 1633.<br />
• Doritie, daughter <strong>of</strong> Thomas Revell, bapt 25 Sep 1636.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is no direct evidence to enable any <strong>of</strong> these to be associated unequivocally with a particular father. However, the absence<br />
<strong>of</strong> any corresponding burial records in the period 1615 to 1629 suggests that were a forename is duplicated in the list (Edward,<br />
Thomas, Dorithy, Elizabeth) it indicates that both fathers had a child <strong>of</strong> that name, and that neither father had more than nine<br />
children baptised at Bradfield.<br />
On the basis <strong>of</strong> records <strong>of</strong> <strong>Revells</strong> in and around <strong>Shifnal</strong> in which the forename can be matched to the baptisms at Bradfield, it is<br />
plausible that at least four, possibly five, <strong>of</strong> these children belonged to Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Stannington.<br />
Rosamund Revell 1615–1690, daughter <strong>of</strong> Thomas <strong>of</strong> Stannington<br />
Thomas Revell and Anne are the parents <strong>of</strong> a Rosimonde Revell (baptised Bradfield April 22 nd 1615) because she is explicitly<br />
described as a sister <strong>of</strong> Edward Revell in a document dated 1647. 16 In addition she can be associated with <strong>Shifnal</strong> and several<br />
other towns in Shropshire, and is consistently recorded as a spinster. Rosamund Revell <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong> purchased the advowson <strong>of</strong><br />
the rectory <strong>of</strong> Stirchley from the Leicesters in 1669, giving her the right to put forward a candidate as rector. <strong>The</strong> advowson<br />
descended through the family until, in 1827, it came to Hugo and Revell Moreton Phillips. 17<br />

Shropshire Archives have a Lease and Release dated 1667 described as follows:<br />
‘1. Thomas Broake <strong>of</strong> Madeley, esq. 2. Rosamund Revell <strong>of</strong> Idsall als. <strong>Shifnal</strong>, spinster. Consideration: 150 1 to 2 1/3 <strong>of</strong> the<br />

29 Apr., 19 Chas. II (1667)’. 18<br />
An associated Conveyance and Deed dated 1668 records: 19<br />
‘1. Thomas Brooke <strong>of</strong> Madeley, esq. 2. Rosamond Revell <strong>of</strong> Idsall als. <strong>Shifnal</strong>, spinster. Consideration: 500 1 to 2 capital<br />

(1668): surrender <strong>of</strong> the capital messuage above by Robert Walford and Roger Walford to 1. and delivery <strong>of</strong> seizin <strong>of</strong> all the<br />
above property to Edward Revell as attorney for 2’.<br />
Shropshire Archives have an associated record dated 1670 described as follows: 20<br />
‘Letters patent: exemplification <strong>of</strong> a Recovery William Revell, gentleman, plaintiff Rosamund Revell, deforciant (Thomas<br />
Widnall, attorney)’ and<br />
‘Thomas Brooke esq., vouchee (John Smythier, attorney) Edmund Clent, vouchee 3 messuages, 3 gardens, 120 a. land, 30 a.<br />
meadow, 120 a. pasture, 10 a. woods, 30 a. furze and heath and common <strong>of</strong> pasture in Smethcott and 1/3 the Manor <strong>of</strong><br />
Smethcott. Hilary term 22 Charles. II (1670)’.<br />
William Revell is plausibly Rosamund Revell’s brother. Rosamund Revel also purchased Whixall manor in 1673. 21<br />
is some 15 miles north <strong>of</strong> Shrewsbury and about 22 miles north from <strong>Shifnal</strong>. Rosimonde Revell died in 1690. 22<br />
Whixall<br />
Anne Revell 1622–1646–?, putative daughter <strong>of</strong> Thomas <strong>of</strong> Stannington<br />
Much less well documented than Rosamund. In 1646 / 7 the Calendar <strong>of</strong> the Committee for Compounding records that an Ann<br />
Revell and Wm Dormer bought ‘Also houses, &c., in Stanton Lacy Manor, co. Salop’. 23 Plausibly this is Anne Revell, daughter<br />
<strong>of</strong> Thomas Revell, baptised at Bradfield on November 6 th 1622, but conceivably it could be Thomas’s wife or widow.<br />
Dorothy Revell, putative daughter <strong>of</strong> Thomas <strong>of</strong> Stannington<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are no records other than the two baptisms at Bradfield. It is not clear which Dorithy belongs to Thomas <strong>of</strong> Stannington.<br />
Thomas Revell, putative son <strong>of</strong> Thomas <strong>of</strong> Stannington<br />
Alumni Cantabrigiensis records a Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Salop who matriculated Sizar from Corpus Christi in 1653. 24 He is<br />
plausibly a son <strong>of</strong> Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Stannington, either the individual baptised at Bradfield on April 25 th 1624 or the<br />
individual baptised there on April 5 th 1629. Note that Pedigree 171 questions whether this might be ‘Thomas <strong>of</strong> Waddsley’ but<br />
that seems rather unlikely in the light <strong>of</strong> this record in Salop. Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Wadsley is discussed further in the section<br />
below and in Part 5. Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Salop is possibly the father <strong>of</strong> Edward Revell’s niece and / or nephew discussed below.<br />

William Revell, 1633–1670–?, putative son <strong>of</strong> Thomas <strong>of</strong> Stannington<br />
In August 1656 a William Revell, cutler, <strong>of</strong> Barrow is named in an indemnity bond to cover the maintenance <strong>of</strong> him and his<br />
family. Barrow is some seven miles west <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong>. 25 He is plausibly the William Revell baptised at Bradfield on August 11 th<br />
1633, and mentioned in association with Rosamund in 1670. 26 He is possibly the father <strong>of</strong> Edward Revell’s niece and / or<br />
nephew discussed below.<br />
Edward Revell 1617–1694, son <strong>of</strong> Thomas <strong>of</strong> Stannington<br />
Pedigree 171 indicates that Thomas and Anne’s eldest son was Edward Revell (presumably the Edward Revell baptised at<br />
Bradfield on August 17 th 1617). <strong>The</strong> earliest account <strong>of</strong> him is an unreferenced transaction recorded in Familiae Minorum<br />
Gentium associated with Pedigree 171, as follows ‘John Wainwright <strong>of</strong> ? Jowet House, co. York, Yeo., George W., son & heirapparent,<br />
and Alice, mother <strong>of</strong> the said John, surrender Walter's House, etc., to the use <strong>of</strong> Edward Revel, son <strong>of</strong> Thomas R. <strong>of</strong><br />
Shiffnal, co. Salop, Gent.’. It is unfortunate that the original cannot be consulted to check that ‘<strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong>’ is indeed stated.<br />
Nevertheless, it indicates that son Edward Revell was still associated with Yorkshire in 1638.<br />
This Edward might be the Edward Revell, Captain <strong>of</strong> Horse, in Sir Richard Leveson’s Regiment, listed among the ‘Indigent<br />
Officers <strong>of</strong> County Salop’ in 1661 / 2, 27 and it is presumably the same person referred to as ‘Captain Revell <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong>’ at some<br />
date in the period 1650 to 1655. 28 Sir Richard Leveson supported the Royalist cause and had peoprty at lilleshall, Shropshire<br />
which fell to Parliamentary forces in 1645.<br />
<strong>The</strong> next reference to a Revell in <strong>Shifnal</strong> is to an Edward Revell who had bought one third <strong>of</strong> the manor <strong>of</strong> Wrockwardine in<br />
1665, 29 and was still holding it in 1674, but there are no Revell records in the Wrockwardine parish registers. 30 ‘Revell’s Rough’,<br />
31 that is to be found on the OS Map at SJ 755 071 about a half-mile east <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong> railway station, is presumably associated<br />
with the family. In 1659 an Edward Revell is named as a defendant in an equity pleading at Admaston, some nine miles northwest<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong>l, 32<br />
Edward Revell <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong>l, in his will that was apparently executed on June 26 th 1684, 33 bequeathed £1000 to Lisbon College<br />
and £1000 to Douai College, creating the Revell's Fund, and he also left £100 ‘for a priest in Shropshire for a weekly Mass’. 34<br />
However, this reference to the execution <strong>of</strong> the will must be to its writing because this Edward Revell is named in an equity<br />
pleading concerned with Wrockwardine Manor in 1686, 35 and in a deed dated December 30 th 1690:<br />
‘Deed <strong>of</strong> Edward Revell <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong>, Salop, in pursuance <strong>of</strong> his right to nominate students to Douai and Lisbon Colleges, -<br />
devises power <strong>of</strong> nomination after his decease to John Talbot <strong>of</strong> Longford Co. Salop and Thos. Giffard, Chillington, Co. Staffs.<br />
Signed and sealed. Witnesses Jo. Purcell; Will Turner. C0130 30 Dec 1690’. 36<br />
On July 11 th 1690 it is recorded that the disaffected papists in the Brimstrey hundred were ‘Edward Revell <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong>l, gent. and<br />
his nephew ––– Revell…’. 37 <strong>The</strong> failure to mention any sons suggests that there were none. <strong>The</strong> precise identity <strong>of</strong> this nephew<br />
is unclear, but his father would presumably be one <strong>of</strong> the following children baptised at Bradfield<br />

<strong>The</strong> parish register for White Ladies records the burial by an Order <strong>of</strong> Sessions dated January 15 th 1694 / 5 that Edward Revell<br />
38, 39, 40<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong>, gent. ‘was buryed in Septemb., 1694 in linnen, and ye Forfeiture pd. to Donnington parish’.<br />
‘Memorandum, By an ordr <strong>of</strong> ye Genll. Quarter Sessions holden at Salop, Jan. 15, 1694, int. alia it was orderd that the summe <strong>of</strong><br />
Fifty Shill : being a forfeiture upon the Exrs. <strong>of</strong> Edward Revell for suffering the Corps <strong>of</strong> the said Revell to be interred at ye<br />

This is the only Revell record at either Donnington or White Ladies. Donnington is some five miles north-west <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong> and<br />
some six miles east <strong>of</strong> Wrockwardine. White Ladies Priory is some six miles east <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Inheritance Disputes Index contains three entries dated 1694–5 regarding the estate <strong>of</strong> an Edward Revell <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong> and<br />
parties by the name <strong>of</strong> Smith and Llewellin, respectively, 41 but it is not clear whether these parties are related. <strong>The</strong>re are also<br />
disputes in 1686 between Smith and Revell with regard to the estate <strong>of</strong> Joan Laud (C7/304/760).<br />
With regard to Revell’s Fund there is a record that ‘Thomas, son <strong>of</strong> Ronald Revell, <strong>of</strong> Revell Grange, Stannington, Yorkshire,<br />
yeoman, was admitted to Lisbon College, admitted on <strong>Revells</strong> Fund ; alumnus March 31, 1697, ordained priest’. 42<br />
<strong>The</strong> identity <strong>of</strong> these two <strong>Revells</strong> is uncertain — it has not been possible to find any records <strong>of</strong> a Ronald Revell. Thomas<br />
Revell, son <strong>of</strong> Richard Revell, baptised at Bradfield on January 31 st 1676 / 7 is one possibility and he might be connected to the<br />
Rowland Revell <strong>of</strong> Stannington yeoman, and / or Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Stannington, yeoman, recorded as recusants in 1715, 43<br />
but their connection, if any, to the <strong>Revells</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong> is not known.<br />
Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Wadsley<br />
This section is included because Pedigree 171 questions whether Thomas Revell the son <strong>of</strong> Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Stannington and<br />
<strong>Shifnal</strong> might be ‘Thomas <strong>of</strong> Waddsley’. <strong>The</strong> ancestry <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Revells</strong> <strong>of</strong> Wadsley is obscure, but it seems unlikely that the<br />
pedigree is correct.<br />
A deed <strong>of</strong> covenant dated March 20 th 1607 / 8 made between ‘Thomas Creswicke <strong>of</strong> Burrow Lee within the parish <strong>of</strong> Ecclesfield<br />
in the county <strong>of</strong> York yoman and Elizabeth his wife <strong>of</strong> the one part and Richard Revel <strong>of</strong> Stannington in the said cy <strong>of</strong> York<br />
yonmn and Henrye Worrall thelder <strong>of</strong> Ughill in the said county <strong>of</strong> York yoman <strong>of</strong> thother part…’ refers to land in Wadsley and<br />
Owlerton, and is witnessed by a John Revell <strong>of</strong> Dongworth. 44 <strong>The</strong> Feet <strong>of</strong> Fines for Easter Term 1608 has an entry that<br />
obviously relates to the same event, ‘Rich. Revell and Henry Worrall, quer : Thos. Creswicke and Eliz. his wife, def. Two<br />
messuages, 2 cottages and lands in Waddesley and Ollerton’. 45<br />
In the late 16 th century there are clear records <strong>of</strong> three Richard <strong>Revells</strong>.<br />
Richard Revell <strong>of</strong> Walkley, who married Dorothy Worrall, was dead no later than 1597 and can be eliminated. Dorothy Revell<br />
née Worrall married second Thomas Creswick and was buried at Sheffield on June 13 th 1602. Thomas Crewisck married<br />
again, possibly to Elizabeth Parkin at Sheffield on June 23 rd 1605 or to Elizabeth Sc<strong>of</strong>ield at Penistone on October 20 th 1607 and<br />
is likely the individual named in the deed in 1607 / 8.<br />

Richard Revell <strong>of</strong> Heley was buried in 1610 but has no obvious connection. <strong>The</strong>refore it seems likely that Richard Revell <strong>of</strong><br />
Stannington is Richard son <strong>of</strong> Gregory, and father <strong>of</strong> Thomas Revell associated with <strong>Shifnal</strong>.<br />
John Revell is mentioned also in 1611 ‘John Revell and Matthew <strong>Web</strong>ster, quer: Peter Mathyman, def. Messuage and lands in<br />
Waddesley and Ollerton’. 46<br />
Wadsley is not mentioned again until a Gregory Revell, yeoman, <strong>of</strong> Waddesley is referred to in a mortgage dated June 21 st<br />
1648. 47 Gregory Revell was presumably born no later than 1628. Gregory Revell and a Thomas Revell are the plaintiffs in an<br />
equity pleading at Wadsley in 1651, defendants Elizabeth Grey and Durant Alsop. 48<br />
On May 19 th 1654 a Thomas Revell, yeoman, <strong>of</strong> Waddsley agrees to abide with an arbitration relating to the same property<br />
referred to in the earlier mortgage, as follows: ‘Thomas Revell, yeoman, <strong>of</strong> Waddsley, to Thomas Bradwell the elder, yeoman, <strong>of</strong><br />
Bradwell, in £100, to abide by the decision <strong>of</strong> Rowland Eyre <strong>of</strong> Hassoppe and Robert Eyre <strong>of</strong> Highlowe, arbitrators appointed to<br />
decide a dispute concerning the possession <strong>of</strong> lands in Bradwell and to deliver up the deeds <strong>of</strong> title, etc.’. 49<br />
It seems likely that this is the ‘Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Wadsley, yeo.,’ whose will, according to Pedigree 171, is dated July 20 th 1666<br />
and states that he is to be buried at Ecclesfield, near his wife, and refers to his son and heir Gregory Revell, his daughters<br />
Elizabeth Revell, Mary Revell and Ann Revell, and a sister Ann Balguy. Ann Balguy’s identity is uncertain — she might be a<br />
sister-in-law. A Gregory Revell listed in the 1672 West Riding Hearth Tax, 50 is possibly the heir <strong>of</strong> Thomas <strong>of</strong> Wadsley. <strong>The</strong><br />
relevant Ecclesfield parish registers are not accessible electronically.<br />
It is impossible to judge whether the Gregory Revell named in the 1648 mortgage is the father <strong>of</strong> Thomas, or the son <strong>of</strong> Thomas<br />
whose will is dated 1666. If Gregory Revell is the son, then his father Thomas Revell was born no later than ca 1608, and this<br />
would eliminate Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Stannington associated with <strong>Shifnal</strong>. If Gregory Revell named in the mortgage in 1648 is<br />
the father, then it is conceivable that he is the poorly documented brother <strong>of</strong> Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Stannington who is sometimes<br />
described as George Revell.<br />
Wadsley is very close to Walkley, 1½ miles east <strong>of</strong> Stannington, four miles north-west <strong>of</strong> Heeley, four miles south-west <strong>of</strong><br />
Ecclesfield.<br />
Later <strong>Revells</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong><br />
A collection <strong>of</strong> Arms and Pedigrees dated 1710 held at Shropshire Archives includes Revell <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong>. 51<br />
John Revell <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong> ~1660–1729, a putative nephew <strong>of</strong> Edward Revell (possibly son <strong>of</strong> William or<br />
Thomas Revell)<br />
Although the <strong>Shifnal</strong> parish marriage records are available electronically from 1638, 52 the <strong>Shifnal</strong> parish burial and baptism<br />
registers are not readily available until 1679 (IGI) after which date a John Revell and Sarah are recorded as the parents <strong>of</strong> Sarah<br />
Revell (June 28 th 1689), Edward Revell (July 18 th 1694), Ann Revell (April 16 th 1696) and John Revell (April 23 rd 1702). As<br />
there are no associated births recorded at <strong>Shifnal</strong> in the period 1679 to 1688, presumably daughter Sarah was their first child and<br />
the marriage probably in the early 1680s, suggesting that John Revell was probably born no later than the early 1660s. He<br />
might therefore be either a son or possibly grandson <strong>of</strong> Captain Edward Revell.<br />
Rather than a son or grandson, this John Revell might be the otherwise obscure nephew recorded on July 11 th 1690, along with<br />
his Uncle Edward Revell <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong>, as ‘a disaffected papist in the Brimstrey hundred’. 53 If so, his parents are not known, but<br />
his father would presumably be one <strong>of</strong> the following children baptised at Bradfield, a brother to Edward Revell <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong>:<br />

It is possible that his father is either the William Revell, cutler, recorded with a family at Barrow, seven miles west <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong>, in<br />
1656, or the Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Salop who matriculated 1653, but pro<strong>of</strong> is lacking.<br />
<strong>The</strong> record <strong>of</strong> John and Sarah’s marriage has not been located. Shropshire Archives catalogue a marriage settlement and an<br />
associated ‘Monumental inscription, and drawing <strong>of</strong> shield <strong>of</strong> arms, <strong>of</strong> Sarah Revell (d. 1704), daughter <strong>of</strong> Edward Brooke, and<br />
her husband John Revell (d. 1729). At <strong>Shifnal</strong>’. 54 A plausible submitted record in the IGI suggests a marriage between a John<br />
Rivell and a Sarah Brookes at <strong>Shifnal</strong> on July 2 nd 1683, but this marriage is not found in the extracted parish records for <strong>Shifnal</strong>.<br />
This is probably the John Revell, who along with a Robert Moreton, is mentioned in connection with property at Heathton,<br />
Whittimere and Claverley in 1689, 55 the John Revell <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong> mentioned in connection with property he was using at<br />
Broughton in 1695, 56 the plaintiff in an equity pleading concerned with personal estate at Horton, seven miles north-west <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Shifnal</strong>, and the plaintiff in two equity pleadings concerned with property at Houghton and Drayton. 57, . 58 An Edward Revell is<br />
also mentioned in connection with Horton, but is neither a plaintiff nor a defendant. 59 Both are named the same year as<br />
defendants in an equity pleading at Stirchley, 60 but their relationship is unclear. A John Revell <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong> on May 10 th 1712<br />
took Sarah Roberts as an apprentice. 61 A John Revell associated with Dawley, about four miles west <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong>, died in 1729. 62<br />
Sarah Revell 1689–1757, daughter <strong>of</strong> John and Sarah<br />
Sarah Revell daughter <strong>of</strong> John Revell <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong> married Robert Moreton, junior, at <strong>Shifnal</strong> on September 19 th 1713, and the<br />
messuages in Kemberton (near <strong>Shifnal</strong>) and Little Chatwell (near Shrewsbury) were settled on them. 63 <strong>The</strong>y also acquired<br />
property at Smethcott, 64 previously held by Rosamund Revell. Robert Moreton died 1729 / 30 leaving his son a minor, 65 and<br />
Sarah Moreton née Revell died 1757. 66<br />
A daughter Sarah Moreton was born June 23 rd 1716 and baptised July 4 th 1716, and a son Revell Moreton was born July 12 th<br />
1718 and baptised at <strong>Shifnal</strong> on July 19 th 1718. On December 6 th 1739 he married Frances Brookes <strong>of</strong> Blacklands. 67 He was<br />
appointed Sheriff <strong>of</strong> Shropshire in 1742. 68<br />

Anne Revell ?–1694–1746, daughter <strong>of</strong> John and Sarah<br />
BHOL record an Anne Revell, daughter <strong>of</strong> John Revell as the wife <strong>of</strong> a Revel Phillips. 69 This Anne Revell is explicitly<br />
described as the sister <strong>of</strong> Sarah Revell who married Robert Moreton. An attested copy <strong>of</strong> a deed dated October 1736 confirms<br />
that Revell Phillips <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong>, gent., married Ann Revell, the daughter <strong>of</strong> John Revell. 70 This marriage, recorded at Chetwynd<br />
on August 5 th 1714, appears to be between first cousins. Anne Phillips née Revell died 1746.<br />
Ann Revell ?–1670–1695–?, putative niece <strong>of</strong> Edward Revell, and the Revell–Phillips connection<br />
It seems likely that an Anne Revell married an Andrew Phillips but it has not been possible to locate a marriage record. It is<br />
possible that her father is either the William Revell, cutler, recorded with a family at Barrow, seven miles west <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shifnal</strong>, in<br />
1656, or the Thomas Revell <strong>of</strong> Salop who matriculated 1653, but pro<strong>of</strong> is lacking.<br />
A Revell Phillips, son <strong>of</strong> Andrew Phillips, was baptised at <strong>Shifnal</strong> on February 1 st 1690 / 1. Baptisms <strong>of</strong> Revell Phillip’s siblings<br />
in the period 1692 to 1701 indicate that his mother was Ann, and in view <strong>of</strong> his forename, presumably Ann Revell. This Ann<br />
Revell was probably born no later than ca 1670 plausibly making her a contemporary (but not necessarily a sister) <strong>of</strong> Edward<br />
Revell’s nephew John Revell. Andrew Phillips and Ann Phillips are defendants in two equity pleadings brought by a John<br />

Revell in 1695.<br />

A grant dated June 10 th 1518 records that an Edward Revell held land at Pycheford, as follows. 73<br />
On June 10 th 1518 ‘Roger Whylwright and Margaret his wife, daughter <strong>of</strong> John Rukley late <strong>of</strong> Pycheford, co. Salop, junior,<br />
deceased, son and heir <strong>of</strong> John Rukley <strong>of</strong> the same, senior, sister and co-heir <strong>of</strong> Richard Rukley son and heir <strong>of</strong> the said John<br />
Rukley, junior’ granted to ‘Richard Ottley, clerk, and Edward Revell’ property described as ‘their part <strong>of</strong> messuages, lands, etc.,<br />
in Pycheford’. 74<br />
A grant <strong>of</strong> lands dated On February 7 th 1518 / 9 ‘William Oteley de Pichford, co. Salop, esq., and Margery his wife’ granted to<br />
‘John Leighton, George Corbet, esquires, John Bruyne de Stapulford, Thomas Astley, and Roger Luter, chaplain’ property<br />
described as ‘lands, etc., in Chester, co. Cheshire, and Hawardyn, co. Flint, with letters <strong>of</strong> attorney to Edward Revell to deliver<br />
seisin there<strong>of</strong>’. 75<br />
Pitchford is some seven miles south <strong>of</strong> Shrewsbury and some 15 miles south <strong>of</strong> Wem.<br />
This Edward Revell must have been born no later than ca 1498. His origin is obscure, but there are business dealings between<br />
the Astley family and the <strong>Revells</strong> <strong>of</strong> Derbyshire that might be relevant.<br />
On November 4 th 1548 there was a ‘Fe<strong>of</strong>fment by John Lytelton and Thomas Asteley to Robert Revell and William Hande <strong>of</strong><br />
lands as in D37 M/T557, to hold to the use <strong>of</strong> Asteley’. 76 This Robert Revell is a son <strong>of</strong> John Revell and Margeret / Maragery<br />
Eyre — see Part 4.<br />
In the period 1563 to 1576, John Revell <strong>of</strong> Shirland, grandson <strong>of</strong> John and Margaret, had business dealings with John Asteley<br />
77, 78, 79, 80, 81<br />
<strong>of</strong> Ascot (co. Salop) gent. Other records indicate that in 1561 the estate <strong>of</strong> John Asteley (Astley) was at Aston (not<br />
Ascot) about one mile from Wem and 12 miles from Shrewsbury. 82 One <strong>of</strong> these documents is a receipt as follows: ‘A messuage<br />
in Stretton: Receipt for [...] B 36 13s 4d, Francis Hord from John Revell <strong>of</strong> Shirland esq. to the use <strong>of</strong> John Astley gent, in<br />
payment for messuages and lands in Stretton and Sydenhall, 4 April 7 Eliz’, and other documents refer also to a ‘Gilbert Asteley<br />
<strong>of</strong> Pattishull (co. Stafford)’<br />
Note also that George Talbot, 4 th Earl <strong>of</strong> Shrewsbury (1468–1538), was born in Shropshire but died at Wingfield Manor,<br />
Derbyshire (some four miles south <strong>of</strong> Ogston), and was buried at Sheffield.<br />
Although the forename Edward is not uncommon among the Derbyshire <strong>Revells</strong> it has not been possible to establish any<br />
connection.<br />
Edward Revell, ?–1539–1575–1595, putative son <strong>of</strong> Edward Revell <strong>of</strong> Shrewsbury<br />
<strong>The</strong> Edward Revell born late in the 15 th century is plausibly the father <strong>of</strong> the Edward Revell born no later than ca 1539, and<br />
who is recorded as the father <strong>of</strong> children baptised at Shrewsbury St Julien, as follows: Hughe Revell baptised on May 8 th 1561,<br />
Edmunde Revell on October 1 st 1563, Elyzabethe Revell on August 30 th 1565, Thomas Revell on November 8 th 1567, John<br />
Revell on September 28 th 1569, Richard Revell on March 2 nd 1571 / 2 and Roger Revell on April 23 rd 1575). An older sibling,<br />
Thomas Revell baptised on November 2 nd 1559, presumably died young. <strong>The</strong> administration <strong>of</strong> an Edward Revell <strong>of</strong><br />
Shrewsbury, dated 1595, is lodged at Lichfield.<br />

It is reported in connection with an outbreak <strong>of</strong> the plague at Shrewsbury that ‘<strong>The</strong> register <strong>of</strong> St Julian’s parish, Sept 3 rd 1576,<br />
83 84<br />
speaks <strong>of</strong> five persons named Revell dying <strong>of</strong> it’. <strong>The</strong>se records are not available electronically and are not in the NBI, but<br />
must presumably include many <strong>of</strong> the above.<br />
Note that John Revell <strong>of</strong> Shirland (see Part 4) had business dealings with John Asteley <strong>of</strong> Ascot (co. Salop) gent in the period<br />
1563 to 1576. 85, 86, 87, 88, 89 Other records indicate that in 1561 the estate <strong>of</strong> John Asteley (Astley) was at Aston (not Ascot) about<br />
one mile from Wem and 12 miles from Shrewsbury. 90<br />
Hughe Revell, 1561–1611–?, putative son <strong>of</strong> the younger Edward Revell<br />
A Hughe Revell had children baptised at Shrewsbury St Julien in the period 1599–1611, as follows: Marye Revell on October<br />
26 th 1599, Elyzabethe Revell on March 27 th 1602 / 3, Roger Revell on January 6 th 1604 / 5, Richard Revell on January 25 th<br />
1605 / 6, Edward Revell on October 9 th 1608 and Thomas Revell on October 28 th 1611. It is probably this Elizabeth Revell<br />
who married Robert Gregory at St Julien on June 15 th 1623.<br />
Thomas Revell, 1567–1611–?, putative son <strong>of</strong> the younger Edward Revell<br />
A Thomas Revell married Elyzabethe Owen on May 6 th 1599 at St Julien Shrewsbury, but there are no obvious baptisms <strong>of</strong><br />
children associated with them. He might be the Thomas who gave evidence to an Inquiry in 1620. 91<br />
<strong>The</strong> children <strong>of</strong> Hughe Revell<br />
<strong>The</strong> following records plausibly relate to the children <strong>of</strong> Hughe Revell.<br />
An Edward Revell who married Joyce is recorded at Shrewsbury St Julien as the father <strong>of</strong> John Revell (August 30 th 1635),<br />
Elizabeth Revell (March 6 th 1637 / 8), Hughe Revell (April 2 nd 1641) and possibly Edward Revell (May 14 th 1648) but his<br />
mother is not recorded in the baptism record.<br />
At Shrewsbury St Chad a Mary Reevell married Richard Hall on September 9 th 1630.<br />
An unnamed child <strong>of</strong> Richard Revelles was buried at St Chad’s, Shrewsbury, on May 14 th 1636.<br />
A Thomas Revell who married Mary is recorded at Shrewsbury St Chad as the parents <strong>of</strong> Ann Revell baptised on December 8 th<br />
1635, Richard Revell on September 7 th 1637, Robarte Revell on February 23 rd 1640 / 1 and Edward Revell on September 14 th<br />
1641. It is probably this Edward Revell who married Elizabeth Bayly at St Chad on August 18 th 1667.<br />
This Thomas Revell might be the individual who resided in a messuage on St John’s Hill, Shrewsbury, in 1636, 92 93 and with a<br />
94, 95, 96<br />
‘messuage and garden in Shrewsbury in a street called Shoplache als St. Johns Hill’, in 1647.<br />

Records concerned with St John’s Hill dated May 14 th 1668 and 1669 also refer to a Thomas Revell who was described as a<br />
‘currier’, i.e. tanner, and whose wife was Elizabeth, 97, 98 and these later records might refer to the Thomas Revell who at<br />
Shrewsbury St Chad married Elizabeth Jones on June 24 th 1667, possibly a second marriage. St Chad’s church is on St Chad’s<br />
Terrace, a matter <strong>of</strong> yards from St John’s Hill.<br />
Later <strong>Revells</strong> <strong>of</strong> Shrewsbury<br />
At Shrewsbury St Chad a Sara Revell married Thomas Hanmer on December 25 th 1664, and this is recorded also at St Alkmund<br />
as the marriage <strong>of</strong> Sarah Revell and Thomas Hanmeere on December 29 th 1664.<br />
A Joseph Revell who married Alice is recorded at Shrewsbury St Chad as the parents <strong>of</strong> James Revell (baptised September 30 th<br />
1660 buried November 18 th 1663), John Revell (May 10 th 1663), Dorrity Revell (baptised August 3 rd 1665 buried June 3 rd<br />
1667), Joseph Revell (baptised August 25 th 1667 buried October 6 th 1674) and Benjamin Revell (October 14 th 1669).<br />
A John Revell, who married Mary, is recorded in the Alberbury parish registers as the father <strong>of</strong> William Revell baptised August<br />
30 th 1692, Joseph Revell on December 13 th 1694, John Revell on March 26 th 1697 / 8 who was buried there on July 24 th 1699,<br />
and Benjamin Revell on baptised July 7 th 1699. 99 This John Revell was born no later than ca 1672 and plausibly the son <strong>of</strong><br />
Joseph and Alice, above. Alberbury is about eight miles west <strong>of</strong> Shrewsbury.<br />
