6. Baronet Mordaunts and Family

Work in Progress

It is more than likely that descendents and family of the Baronet Mordaunts are already well aware of their family tree. Much of the following has been taken from "The Baronetage of England" by William Betham, published by William Miller in 1801, (isn't 'Google Books' wonderful?), supplemented from other sources including "Massingham Parva, Past and Present" by Ronald Fisher McLeod, published by Waterow in 1882, and modern publications such as Burke's Peerage and Debrett's, available in any central public reference library in the United Kingdom

• Sir L'Estrange Mordaunt (abt. 1572 - 1628?), whose ancestry is described on the previous webpages, purchased the baronetcy in 1611. The idea of creating and selling baronetcies was a bright idea by King James I (James VI of Scotland) to get round his limited tax raising powers. Until then L'Estrange had pursued a military career, first serving in Flanders against Spain where he met, courted and married 1. Margaret (? - 1606), the daughter of Peter de Charles, a Flemish gentleman from Antwerp. In 1598 he served in the Earl of Essex's ill-fated expedition to Ireland, and in 1600/1601 served in Ireland under Mountjoy. Would he there have met his mysterious kinsman, Nicholas Mordaunt? In 1602 he succeeded to his grandfather's estates.
  • Sir Robert Mordaunt 2nd Bart. (abt. or before 1590 - 1638), who married Amy Southerton. According to 'Massingham Parva, Past and Present' they had a total of seven children five of whom were born and baptized at Little Massingham.
    • Robert Mordaunt . (? - ?) died in infancy, or so says one source. I am not certain he necessarily was the firstborn. There was another son Robert (of Hesperton) who did grow to manhood, see below.
    • Sir Charles Mordaunt 3rd Bart. (abt. 1615 - 10th July 1648) married Catherine, daughter of Sir Lionel Tollemache. According to 'Massingham Parva, Past and Present' she was the widow of Drake William Playters by whom she had six children. Then, with Charles her second husband she had a further seven children but I am not at all certain as to their order of the birth. I do not know how she could fit all that in the time available! After her second widowhood, she married Sir Charles Lee of Billeslee in Warwickshire.
      Siding with the King in the Civil War, he was inside King's Lynn during its three-week seige by parliamentarian forces, August/September 1643. A clause of the treaty of capitulation allowed "gentlemen strangers in the town to have liberty to depart, with every man a horse, sword and pistols" and with a guarantee for the safety of their estates. Charles consequently was released and retired to Little Massingham. However, later accused of complicity with an intended Royalist rising, the Little Massingham estates were sequestered and he retired to London with his family. On his death his body was carried to Little Massingham for burial.
      • Sir Charles Mordaunt 4th Bart. (1638 - 24th April 1664) was baptised at Fakenham Magna, Suffolk, on 11th November 1638. He married Elizabeth Johnson (abt 1645 - ?) of St Gregory,London, at St Bennet's, Paul's Wharf on 18th December 1663, but he died without issue. His widow, still only 24 years old, married Francis Godolphin, of Colston, Wiltshire at St. Botolph's, London, 16th August 1669.
      • Catherine (Kate) Mordaunt (1640 - 1705) was baptised at Fakenham Magna, Suffolk, on 7th May 1640. She died unmarried and was, apparently, the last Mordaunt to be interred in the church at Little Massingham
      • Tollemarche Mordaunt (1642 - 1644) was baptised at Fakenham Magna, Suffolk, on 6th January 1642 (1643 in new calender?). He was a boy in case you are curious!
      • Henry Mordaunt was baptised in late 1643 and died three days later
      • Sir John Mordaunt 5th Bart (1643 - 6th September 1721) was baptised in late 1643. He married 1st Anne Risley (abt. 1661 - before 1695) on 13th June 1678, by curious coincidence at the local church of his distant cousins, "the Mordaunts of the Hill" at Caldecote, Northill. I wonder if he invited them all as guests. Curiously, the transcription of his licence application gave his age as "about 21" when he was clearly about 35 years old; perhaps this is an error for "above 21." His bride's age was given as 17 years, permission "by her mother's consent."
        • Penelope Mordaunt who died young. In 1701 her father's uncle, Robert, wrote commiserating on the death of his daughter. Perhaps this was the young Penelope. The letter is in Warwickshire County Archives.
        Perhaps saddened by its associations, John seems to have quitted Massingham and to have retired to Walton in Warwickshire. Although the Massingham estates were not sold until 1807, from this time on Walton Hall became the main seat of the family. Into his 50s, he married 2nd Penelope (abt. 1673 - ?), daughter of Sir George Warburton, nearly 30 years his junior, at St. James, Westminster, on 8th June 1695.
        • Sir Charles Mordaunt 6th Bart. (1698 - 1778) He married 1st. Dorothy Conyers (? - 1726) at St. Mary's, Walthamstowe, Essex, on 1st December 1720, by whom he had two daughters
          • Penelope Mordaunt, who died unmarried
          • Dorothy Mordaunt (? - after 1801) who died unmarried
          He married 2nd. Sophia Woodhouse (? - April 1738) at St. Mary's, Marylebone, London, on 7th July 1730. Their children may not be listed in birth order.
          • Sophia Mordaunt who died unmarried.
          • Sir John Mordaunt 7th Bart. (1735 - 1806) married Elizabeth Prowse.
            • Elizabeth Mordaunt (12th July 1769 - 1856?) was baptised at St. James, Westminster, on 16th November 1769. I presume she was the Elizabeth Mordaunt, age given as 86, who was living at 11, Montague Square and whose burial was recorded in St. Marylebone, 17th January, 1856
            • Sir Charles Mordaunt 8th Bart. (15th January 1771 - 1823) was baptised at Westminster on 2nd February 1771. He married Marianne Holbech
              • Sir John Mordaunt 9th Bart. (1808 - 1845). Sir John was the first to be caught by the census takers, recorded in 1841. By then he had married Carolyne Sophia Murray, born on the Isle of Man while her father was Bishop of Sodor and Man. He was a son of the Duke of Athol and later became Bishop of Rochester. After the death of her husband, Carolyne married Gustavus Thomas Smith and bore him two daughters. However, it seems that being Mrs Smith did not suit this granddaughter of an Earl and she continued to be called Lady Mordaunt until her death.
                • Sir Charles Mordaunt 10th Bart. (1836 - 1897). He married 1st. Harriet Sarah Moncrieffe (1848 - 1906), the daughter of a Scottish baronet in Perth on 6th December 1866. During the celebrated divorce case her family, feeling disgraced, put forward the defence that she was insane and had her incarcerated in asylums for the rest of her life - some 35 years. Their cruelty, and the vindictiveness of her husband, beggar believe - the old way of sending someone to a nunnery was positively kind in comparison. She is recorded in the 1871 census in an asylum in Chiswick but that is the last official mention until her death in 1906.
                  • Violet Caroline Mordaunt (1869 - 1928). Some Internet sources offer a variety of alternative natural fathers for her but I have yet to find evidence that Sir Charles treated her in any way other than as his own daughter. She married Thomas Henry Thynne, 5th Marquess of Bath (1862 - 1946) in 1890
                    • Alice Kathleen Violet Thynne (1891 - 1977)
                    • Emma Margery Thynne (1893 - ?)
                    • John Alexander Thynne (1895 - 1916).
                    • Mary Beatrice Thynne (1903 - 1974)
                    • Henry Frederick Thynne (1905 - 1992) 6th Marquess Bath
                  Charles, now aged 42 years, married 2nd. 16 year old, parson's daughter, Mary Louise Cholmondeley (1861 - 1947) on 24th April, 1878.
                  • Adela Mordaunt (1879 - ?)
                  • Irene Mordaunt (abt. 1881 - 1969). She married Sir Robert Caradoc Hamilton in 1907.
                  • Lillian Mordaunt (1882 - ?). She married in Mildmay Francis Hall in 1904.
                  • Sir Osbert L'Estrange Mordaunt 11th Bart. (1884 - 1934)
                  • Cicely Mordaunt (1889 - ?)
                  • Winifred Mordaunt (1891 - ?) married John Geare in 1923
                    • Jacqueline Geare (1924 - 1997)
                    • Gillian Geare (b. 1925)
                • John Murray Mordaunt (1837 - 1923), educated at Eton and Oxford, married Elizabeth Evelyn Cotes (? - 1914) of Woodcote in1866. He was the first of the Mordaunts to play "first class" cricket - two matches for the MCC (Marylebone Cricket Club).
                  Among any other of his activities, in 1876, in partnership with Thomas Oswald, he briefly went into shipbuilding and in a relatively brief time the company built a number of ships of note which can be researched by typing Oswald Mordaunt & Company into any Internet search engine. (Wikipedia, for some reason, calls him John Henry Mordaunt)
                  Sketch made in 1858 on a journey on the Nile, courtesy of John Bowen who kindly contacted my Guestbook. John's mother was housekeeper to Sir Henry Mordaunt, 12th Bart. from about 1915

They had five sons who all served in the forces and a daughter.
            • Sophia Mordaunt (17th December 1771 - 1846?) was baptised at Westminster on 6th January 1772. I presume she was the Sophia Mordaunt, age given as 74, who was living at 4, Upper Wimpole Street and whose burial was recorded in St. Marylebone, 28th February 1846
            • Mary Mordaunt (24th February 1773 - 17th July 1821) was baptised at St. James, Westminster, on 10th March 1773.

He married Charlotte Musgrove at St. Mary's, Marylebone, London, on 24th May 1774. Their son, Charles was apparently the last Mordaunt born and baptised at Massingham. From him descend the Mordaunts of Somerset
          • Mary Mordaunt who died unmarried
        • Penelope (Pen) Mordaunt who married a Joseph Heme, Esq.

        • John Mordaunt seems to have died young
        • Elizabeth Mordaunt seems to have did young
        The Will of Sir John Mordaunt, Bart., written in 1714, would, if none of his own family survived, have left all the family estates to John Lewis. John Lewis's own Will dated 1719/20 makes no mention of his sister, any children of his sister, his wife or any children of his own. He made bequests to his cousins Anne and Katherine Mordaunt, presumably the daughters of his uncle William (below), a cousin Elizabeth Swain, widow, whom I have not identified and, after bequests to his landlady and her family in St Anne's Parish, Holborn, left the rest of his estate to Charles Mordaunt, son of Sir John, Bart.
    • William Mordaunt (abt 1631? - 1707) married Anne Butler of Scovis Town (var. Scovistown, Scavington, Scovaston and Scoveston), Pembrokshire, on 22nd July 1656 at St Benet's, Paul's Wharf. In 1661 they were enjoying the Butler estate at Hilton before moving to the main Butler residence, Scoveston. Among anything else, he achieved office in Wales in the "Court of the Marches of Wales" and as "officer of receiving answers, replications, rejoiners etc." whatever they may have been; perhaps they were the same appointment (Calender of State Papers Domestic, Charles II, December 1662).

      He seems to have invested in an estate of 607 acres in Pennsylvania which his children later disposed of:
      "John Evans of Denbigh, in the Co. of Denbigh, Great Britain, Esqr. to Thomas James, recites transfers from William Penn, October 24 and 25, 1681, to William Mordent (alias Mordaunt) of Lansterwell in the county of Pembroke, Esq., for 500 acres of land in Pennsylvania, and deed from Thomas and Osmond Mordent, sons of the said William, dated February 29, 1711, unto the afore-said John Evans (under the name of John Evans late of Pensilvania but now of London, Esqr) and the said John Evans did grant said land to John Moore, March 5, 17 — ." (Philadelphia Deeds, Liber F, No. 3, folio 243.)
      And from the website of the Great Valley House of Valley Forge Bed and Breakfast website:
      William Penn received the royal charter for Pennsylvania from Charles II, in 1681. William Penn granted land to John ap John, the chief disciple of Quakerism in Wales. This tract of land was part of the original Welsh Tract that covered most of what is known today as the Main Line of Philadelphia.
      William Penn deeded to William Mordaunt, on 10/24/1681, a tract of 607 acres in Philadelphia, William Mordaunt later died leaving as heir Thomas Mordaunt.
      During the period of time from 1681 to the 1700s there were many squatters and informal leases in the area. The original construction of the Great Valley House began prior to 1700 by undocumented tenants. This conclusion is based on the architectural feature of the stone sink built as part of the stone wall in the Old Kitchen. Sinks of this nature were typical of Welsh construction prior to the advent of the Dry Sink in the late 1600's
      Thomas Mordaunt and Osmond Mordaunt by deed dated 1/28/1711 conveyed the land to John Evans. John Evans, by deed dated 3/5/1716 in Philadelphia, conveyed the property to John Moore.

      On quite a different issue, British History Online has an extract from the Calender of State Papers Domestic: William and Mary, for 18th April 1689, from Scovestown:
      William Mordaunt to the Earl of Shrewsbury. In obedience to your instructions, I have committed two Irish papists, common soldiers, named Richard Brown and John Park. I have also secured one Alexander Fitzgerald, son of David Fitzgerald of Limerick, a papist but who does not own to have been a soldier, having received orders for securing Irish mariners and soldiers, but Mr. Fitzgerald being neither, I have confined him in my own house. I desire to know what to do with him. [S.P. Dom. Will & Mary 1, No. 27.]

      William's children were sensitive to their reliance on the goodwill of their wealthy cousin the baronet and so wrote regular letters, which may be found in Warwickshire County Archives, wishing him good health and recounting their exploits.

      • Cole Mordaunt (? - 1708). Cole is quite an unusual name in the Mordaunt family and so I make the assumption for the moment that all references to a Cole in this period are to this son.
        A Cole Mordaunt is listed among those taking their oath of allegiance to William and Mary, in 1696 in Easingwold, Yorkshire and later to Queen Anne on 14th July 1702 at Hemsley in Yorkshire, where he received £80 a year as an officer for surveying and inspecting the Duties on Houses and on Marriages.
        He is later found at sea, in the War of the Spanish Succession. His distant relation, Charles, 3rd Earl of Peterborough, had distinguished himself with the capture of Barcelona and Valencia. Charles had quit Barcelona and it soon came under seige. Cole, and his younger brother Butler, were among the forces that relieved the siege of Barcelona in May 1706.
        I have not found any record of him marrying. His will, written in 1708, after referring to him inheriting his father's "estate in Wales," leaves everything to his brothers and sisters. At the time, he was a captain in Colonel Lillingston's Regiment at Batchelor Thorne, Devon. It is an interesting coincidence that in the same vicinity of Devon there was already a Mordaunt family commonly using the names of the brothers, Osmond, Thomas and Cole. (See "The Mordaunt family in the rest of Britain" page)
      • Thomas Mordaunt (? - after 1723?) had joined the Navy several years earlier, while his elder brother was still collecting taxes in York but, according to his letters, seemed never to leave port or English coastal waters, and he left in 1701, ostensibly because of the illness of his father, William (who recovered to live another 6 years). This history of Hilton Court in Pembrokeshire states, in passing, that Thomas was the sole surviving son in 1723.
      • Butler Mordaunt (? - 1721). This brother too joined the navy and was on ship by 1699. In February 1706 he was a midshipman on HMS Royal Ann in Portsmouth harbour and in May the same year was taking part in the relief of Barcelona, meeting up with his brother Cole. In September he was present at the capture of Mallorca.
        He married Elisabeth Clinton at St. Benet, Pauls Wharf, London, on 1st December 1715. His will, dated 1716 and apparently unaltered by his death in 1721 left all his estate, however much that was, to his wife, Elizabeth, with no mention of any children or surviving brothers/sisters or any children of theirs.
      • Osmond Mordaunt (? - before 1723?). Osmond was sent to Rugby School and registered 23rd June 1697 according to the school register. It does not say how long he stayed. Osmond did not go to sea but to London instead. He too dutifully wrote letters to his wealthy cousin and told him about the weather in London. The correspondence can be seen in Warwickshire County Archives.
      • Anne Mordaunt. She was to receive £40 from her brother Cole's will dated 1706
      • Katherine Mordaunt is a sister mentioned in the will of Cole Mordaunt, dated 1706, when he left her the residue of his chattels after the bequest to Anne, including his linen sheets, table cloths, towels, plate and gold watch. Such household items frequently occur in wills if this period and were clearly considered of greater value than we think of these days.
    • Amy Mordaunt (1621? - ?) married Sir Giles Estcourt (? - 1688), 1st Bart. of Newton
    • Anne Mordaunt (1623? - July 1655) married Christopher(?) Pickering
  • Henry Mordaunt (of Congham in Norfolk), second son of L'Estrange, the first baronet. He was admitted to the Middle Temple on 12th November, 1614, and called to the Bar 23rd November, 1621. He married Barbara Calthorp (? - Christmas Day 1690) of Cockthorp, Norfolk. She was buried in the church of St Andrew, Congham
    6th December 1690
    • L'Estrange Mordaunt (abt. 1628 - 1691) who married Barbara Catelyn (abt. 1642 - 1729) of Kirby-Cane in Norfolk. Both were buried in Congham church
      • Henry Mordaunt of Congham in Norfolk
      • Barbara Mordaunt (abt 1677 - 1714), who married Captain John Brown of Scarning in Norfolk and is buried in Scarning church.
  • Jane Mordaunt married Sir James Reynolds of Bumpstede, Essex at Little Massingham in June 1620
    
  • Anne Mordaunt (1596 - 16th October 1631) married Thomas Clere (1580 - 1621) of Pontney, Norfolk at Bumpsted Helion, Essex, on 28th November 1620. She is buried in Grimston, Norfolk, curiously not with her husband. (With thanks to a Bradley family webpage for additional information)
  L'Estrange married 2. Frances Sotherton (? - 1621), a widow, daughter of Sir Robert Cheek of Debnam. Frances was buried in St. John's, Maddermarket, central Norwich, now under the care of the Redundant Churches Fund. L'Estrange was buried with his first wife in Little Massingham church
