Isabell Revell daughter of Richard The Visitation of Middlesex records the pedigree of ‘Harrisonn of Braintford’ 338 and the Visitation of Northamptonshire the pedigree of ‘Harrisonn of Gobion’s Manor’, 339 both of which refer to a John Harrysonn marrying an Elizabeth Nynesor. The Visitation of Middlesex shows Elizabeth Nynesor to be the daughter of Richard Nynesor, the son of Henerey Nynesor, the son of another Henery Nynesor (son of William) who married an Isabell Revell, daughter of a Richard Revell, but unfortunately there are no dates beyond a somewhat cryptic statement on the Gobion’s Manor pedigree ‘C14 Commences five generations earlier’ above the entry for John Harryson’s marriage to Elizabeth Nynesor, Isabell’s great granddaughter. There is an unconfirmed report of an Elizabeth Nynesor born ca 1484 in Northamptonshire who married John Harrisonn about 1503, 340 and their children are apparently associated with Derbyshire. Others susggest she was born 1435 and died 1470, 341 but all these dates must be treated with caution. This John Harrisonn’s parents are William Harrisonn and Jane Columbell, daughter and heir of Henry Columbell. There are connections between the Derbyshire Revells and Columbells — see Part 4 — but whether these particular Columbells are connected is not known. These Harrisonns originate from Kendall, Westmorland. Although the pedigrees do not give precise dates it has been possible to locate authentic records of several of the seven great grandchildren of Elizabeth Nynesor and John Harrisonn shown in this pedigree, as follows: Richard Pell married Ursula Harrisonn at Stowe-Nine-Churches (near Towcester, Northamptonshire) on December 18 th 1569, and Thomas Swingleherst married Anne Harrisonn there on October 25 th 1574, suggesting these Harrisonn daughters were probably born about 1549 and 1554, respectively. Their brother Thomas married Elizabeth Bernard but the exact date has not been located. It is thought to be 1581. 342 Their older sister, Elizabeth Harrisonn, married George Sheffield of Seaton, Rutland, who was holding Down Hall in 1556, Gobion’s Manor in 1558, and Up Hall in 1568. Their son Richard Sheffield died in 1602. George Sheffield’s mother Margaret née Morgan was buried at Seaton on June 14 th 1562. George Sheffield was Sheriff of Rutland in 1588 and was buried September 4 th 1618. 343, 344, 345 The Sheffield pedigree in the Visitation of Rutland shows Elizabeth Harrisonn as of Stow and records nine children but does not define the date of her marriage. 346 The baptisms of the fourth to seventh children are given in the Seaton parish records in the period 1563 to 1570 with the eighth in 1579. Taken collectively, this information suggests that Elizabeth Harisonn probably married about 1556 and was born about 1536, which fits well with her being the oldest child of Robert Harrisonn of Stow and Bridget FitzGeffery. 347 A Bridget Harrison who was buried at Irthlingborough St Peter’s on July 27 th 1565 is probably Elizabeth’s mother. Elizabeth was buried Seaton on July 23 rd 1603. It has not been possible to find any dated records of Elizabeth Harisonn’s mother, Bridgett FitzGeffery but a birth ca 1515 would seem reasonable. Isabell Revell is six generations earlier and almost certainly was born no later than ca 1400 and possibly as early as the period 1330 to 1350. Her father Richard Revell might thus have beem born in the period 1300 to 1380. There are no really promising candidates for her father. Perusal of Table 1b identifies the following: 1. Richard Revell outlaw of Stafford 1307, and of Bishop's Itchington (Warwickshire) 1325 / 6 and born not later than ca 1287; 2. Richard Revell son of Godfrey extant 1310 to 1317 associated with Hatfield Regis and Bengeo; and 3. Richard Revell / Reynolds born ca 1386 who lived to at least 1460 Stowe-Nine-Churches is some eight miles east of Byfeld and that geographic association suggests a possible link to William Revell who married Isabel, see above, and candidate 3 above would be William and Isabel’s nephew if the attributions in Table 2 are correct. It would be eminently plausible that Richard Revell might name a daughter Isabel, but there is no evidence to suggest that these proposals are better than plausible speculation. The Nynesor family are mostly associated with the area around Levens across the river Kent from Ninezergh, both in Westmorland, some four miles from Kendal, and some 40 miles from Skipton the nearest point with a well established group of Revells at that period. Records are surprisingly sparse, and investigating this family is made particularly difficult by the great variation in the spelling of the name, for example Neansor, Niandesergh, Niandsherg, Niandeshergh, Niendesergh, 338 Middlesex Pedigrees http://www.archive.org/stream/middlesexpedigre65mund#page/148/mode/2up/search/revel 339 Visitation of Northamptonshire http://www.archive.org/stream/visitationsofnor00harvrich#page/98/mode/2up/search/nynesor 340 http://www.ourfamilyhistories.org/getperson.php?personID=I105803&tree=00. 341 http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/w/i/g/Corrine-M-Wiggins/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0256.html 342 Commentaries upon the History of Benjamin Harrison http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/4245437?uid=3738032&uid=2129&uid=2&uid=70&uid=4&sid=56237615273 343 A History of the County of Rutland Volume 2 http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=66238 344 A History of the Church of St Giles, Northampton http://www.archive.org/stream/historyofchurcho00serj#page/280/mode/2up/search/harrison 345 The Victoria County History of Northamptonshire http://www.archive.org/stream/victoriahistoryo03adki#page/20/mode/2up/search/harris 346 Visitation of Rutland http://www.archive.org/stream/visitationcount00britgoog#page/n31/mode/1up/search/harrison 347 Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica Volume 1 http://www.ebooksread.com/authors-eng/frederic-madden/collectanea-topographica-etgenealogica-volume-1-dda/page-16-collectanea-topographica-et-genealogica-volume-1-dda.shtml 25/06/2012 32 Comments, corrections and additions to Rotherham Web [rotherweb@blueyonder.co.uk]
Niendeshergh, Niendesherche, Ninesor, Ninezergh, Nissandesergh, Nixandser, Nunezergh, Nyandesergh, Nyandeser, Nyandser, Nyandsor, Nyandzer, Nyauncer, Nyneson, and Nynesor. There are records of the family from the early 13 th century, but very few records of persons with forenames corresponding to the pedigrees and none that can be connected to the Revell family. A Richard de Nyandesergh is recorded as a witness to the Inquisition Post Mortem for William de Coucy held at Lancaster on March 25 th 1343 / 4. 348 He cannot be unequivocally to the pedigrees and this Richard is certainly too early to be Elizabeth Nynesor’s father. The best documented individual of this poorly defined family seems to be a John Niandesergh and his wife Margaret, the widow of Roger le Scrope, are recorded in Feet of Fines on November 3 rd 1412 as holding land in Leicestershire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire. 349 Her husband was notorious for supposedly abducting and raping his wife Margaret, for the murder of John 350, 351, 352, 353, 354 Tibbay, and being a Member of Parliament is comparatively well documented. This John Niandesergh is apparently the son of Mathew Ninezergh and Elizabeth Tibetot, 355 and John is thought possibly to be the father of ‘the William Ninezergh who was a juror at the sessions of gaol delivery in Appleby in 1430’. 356 From a consideration of the firm dates that are available and assuming sensible inter-generation intervals this William Ninezergh could be the father-in-law of Isabell Revell as shown in the pedigrees but this cannot be confirmed. The de Burnaby Arms and a putative de Burnaby–Revell marriage The Visitation of Northamptonshire describes the arms of Burnaby of Watford as ‘Quarterly of eight —I and 3. Argent, two bars and in chief a lion passant-gardant gules; 2. Ermine a chevron gules within a bordure engrailed Sable (Revell); 4. Ermine a fess counter-compony Or and Azure on a chief of the third two mullets of the second (Arden); 5. Gules on a chief Argent a label of three Points (Watford); 6. Argent a chevron Gules (Teyes); 7. Gules a chevron Argent between three plates (Besley); 8. Argent two chevrons Gules (Grindon)’. 357 The first two quarters suggest that a male armiger married a Revell heiress, and after her death her son has quartered her arms (in quarter 2) with his father’s (in quarter 1). 358 Initial attempts to identify the Revell heiress were unsuccessful and a request for help was posted on Medieval Gen resulting in a clarification by Hikaru Kitabayashi who advised that the Revell arms were adopted by the Malory who inherited Newbold Revell. The marriage in question is that between Philippa Malory, sister of Sir Thomas Malory, and George Burnaby, son of Eustace Burnaby of Watford. 359 See above for further connections with Malory. 348 Lancashire Inquisitions http://www.archive.org/stream/recordsociety70recouoft#page/56/mode/2up/search/nyand 349 Feet of Fines CP 25/1/291/62, number 181 http://www.medievalgenealogy.org.uk/fines/abstracts/CP_25_1_291_62.shtml 350 Patent Rolls Henry IV Volume 4 page 164 351 Records relating to the Barony of Kendale Volume 2 http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=49311 352 Patent Rolls http://sdrc.lib.uiowa.edu/patentrolls/h5v1/body/Henry5vol1page0251.pdf 353 Notes and Queries http://www.archive.org/stream/s11notesqueries04londuoft/s11notesqueries04londuoft_djvu.txt 354 The History of Parliament http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1386-1421/member/ninezergh-john-1420 355 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=wtm2&id=I148958 356 The History of Parliament http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1386-1421/member/ninezergh-john-1420 357 Visitations of Northampton http://www.archive.org/stream/visitationsnort00vincgoog#page/n20/mode/2up. 358 The Heraldry Society http://www.theheraldrysociety.com/articles/marshalling_and_cadency/quartering.htm 359 The last years of Sir Thomas Malory by P.C.
