Referring to the Sedgwick family
tree (279-1 Sedgwick), a link from Catherine, wife of Thomas Higgs (on the
bottom line) to the Palavasines (Palavicino, on the top line) is provided by
just 2 documents - the will of Rebecca Sedgwick in 1757 (on the 3rd line) and
the will of her aunt Susanna Robinson née Sedgwick (on the 2nd line). |
|
|
|
|
|
Rebecca Sedgwick made her niece
Catherine, wife of Thomas Higgs, executrix of her will - and Susanna Robinson
made her niece Rebecca Sedgwick executrix of her will, and also mentioned her
grandmother Palavisine. |
|
|
|
|
|
All the rest of these documents
fill out the family tree, extend it, and provide interesting glimpses into
their daily life and tribulations. |

1741. |

Catherine Sedgwick and Thomas
Higgs had 9 children between 1738 and 1754, Sarah in 1738, Catherine in 1739,
Sarah in 1741, John in 1742, Thomas in 1743 (died before 1746), Eusebia in
1745, Thomas in 1746, William in 1752, and Margaret Mary in 1754 (died in
1757) |

Marriage |
|
|
|
|
|
The maiden name of Catherine
Higgs was unknown to us for many years - no marriage of a Thomas Higgs and
Sarah could be found any where near the 1730s. Finally, in 2010, a search on
Ancestry.co.uk showed a marriage on 2 January 1737 between Thomas Higgs and
Katherine Sedgwick at St. Mary at Lambeth - a perfect fit to their children's
baptisms. |
|
Marriage |
|
|
|
In retrospect, if we had
concentrated on the rather unusual name of their daughter Eusebia, we could
have searched for other families using that name in England around this time.
We might then have noticed that the Sedgwicks used this name repeatedly (in
1712, Eusebia daughter of Robert Sedgwick, in 1696, Eusebia daughter of
Edward Sedgwick & Rebecca, in 1656, Eusebia daughter of Edward Sedgwick
& Susannah), and found the Higgs-Sedgwick connection more quickly. |

|
|
Death |
|
|
|
|
|
Catherine Higgs left a will in
1781 in which she mentions her sons John, Thomas and William, her daughter
Catherine, and her daughter Neville (Sarah, who married Bartholomew Nevill). |
|
Will |
|
|
|
Catherine Higgs, wife of Thomas
Higgs was named executrix of the will of her aunt Rebecca Sedgwick in 1757.
Rebecca names her sisters Susanna Raley and Ann Raley, her late sister Mary
Anderson, her deceased brother Robert's two children Robert and Elizabeth,
her niece Catherine Higgs, and her deceased nephew James Sedgwick's only
daughter Mary Sedgwick. |

Catherine Houblon, in her will
in 1729, leaves the interest on £125, and all her wearing apparel, to her
maidservant Rebecca Sedgwick. She also leaves £20 to her goddaughter
Catherine Sedgwick, which she is to receive at the age of 16 or 18, so was
under 16 in 1729 - so born after 1713. |
|
Will |
|
|
|
Catherine Sedgwick was
discharged from the school at Christ's Hospital in March 1728, aged 13, by
her aunt Eusebia Sedgwick in Buckenham, Norfolk, with whom she is to serve 5
years. |
|
Discharg |
|
|

Catherine Sedgwick, daughter of
Edward Sedgwick, citizen and coach harness maker, baptised 27 December 1714,
was admitted to the school at Christ's Hospital in April 1722, aged 7. |

Rebecca Sedgwick was named
executrix of the will of her sister Eusebia in 1738. In this will written in
1725, Eusebia names her father Mr. Edward Sedgwick, rector of Walkington, her
unnamed mother, her brothers Robert and Edward Sedgwick, and her sisters Mary
Anderson, Susanna Raley and Ann Sedgwick. |
|
Will |
|
|
|
Rebecca Sedgwick was named
executrix of the will of her father Edward in 1729. In this will Edward
Sedgwick leaves everything to his executrix and niece Rebecca Sedgwick. |
|
Will |
|
|
|
Rebecca Sedgwick was named
executrix of the will of her aunt Susanna Robinson in 1725. In this will
written in 1716, Susanna names her brother Mr. Edward Sedgwick, rector of
Walkington, his (unnamed) wife, his 3 sons Robert, Edward and James Sedgwick,
and his 6 daughters Rebecca, Mary, Elizabeth, Susanna, Eusebia and Anna. She
also names her sister Eusebia Dawgs, and her 4 sons. She leaves the bulk of
her estate to Rebecca, including her prized possession, it would seem -
“grandmother Pallavicines picture in a small case of gold set with nine small
diamonds”. |
|
W_1725 |
|
|
|
These wills sketch out the
immediate family of Catherine Higgs née Sedgwick without giving her exact
position in it. Of Rebecca's three brothers, she is clearly not the daughter
of Robert. Nor is she the daughter of Rebecca's brother James, as can be seen
from the documents around the administration of his estate in 1720. |
|
Administration |
|
|
|
Catherine Higgs née Sedgwick
must therefore be the daughter of Rebecca's brother Edward Sedgwick. She is
also the sister of James Sedgwick, and aunt of his daughter Mary Sedgwick. |
|
|
|
|
|
Returning to the will of
Catherine Higgs in 1781 in which she mentions money owed to her by George
Slater, a shopkeeper. He is the same George Slater who married Catherine's
niece Mary Sedgwick, a marriage Catherine herself witnessed. |

So the mother of Sarah Higgs
(139), |
|
|
|
|
|
Catherine Sedgwick (279), born
in 1714 in London, |
|
|
|
|
|
married to Thomas Higgs (278) in
1737 in Lambeth, |

|

died in 1781 in Bath, was the
daughter of |

PP_279 |
|
|
|
Edward Sedgwick and Margarett
his wife had at least 3 other children - James and Edward baptised in 1711,
and James baptised in 1713, all in St. Botolph Bishopsgate, London. The first
James died earlier in 1713, and Edward also seems not to have survived
infancy. |
|
|
|
|
|
Margarett Sedgwick evidently
died in childbirth, having been buried on 22 December 1714, 5 days before her
daughter Catherine was baptised. |
|
Death |
|
|
|
Susanna Sedgwick, who died in
1734 leaving a will making her aunt Rebecca her executrix, witnessed by
Catherine Sedgwick and Sarah Brookes (co-servant with Rebecca with the
Houblons), would seem to be a sister of Catherine's. Her birth may have cost
her mother her life, and led to her own early death... |
|
Will |
|
|
|
Marriage |
|
|
|
|
|
No marriage for Edward Sedgwick
and Margarett has come to light as yet - but must have been around July 1710
when Edward's apprenticeship would have finished. |

|
|
Death |
|
|
|
|
|
Edward Sedgwick was close to
bankruptcy in 1715, not surprising under the circumstances. |
|
Dispute |
|
|
|
Edward Sedgwick remarried in
1720 when he was 39 years old (born c. 1681) at St. Giles-in-the-Fields,
Westminster. |
|
Marriage |
|
|
|
Edward Sedgwick was left a
shilling in the will of his aunt Susanna Robinson in 1725. She states that
Edward Sedgwick was the son of her brother Edward Sedgwick, vicar of
Walkington. |
|
Will |
|
|
|
Edward Sedgwick's son began an
apprenticeship as a grocer in 1728, when Edward was still alive. |
|

Edward Sedgwick was left 20s in
the will of his sister Eusebia in 1738. Her father is Edward Sedgwick, vicar
of Walkington, and her living brothers are Robert and Edward Sedgwick. |
|

Edward Sedgwick was not
mentioned in the will of his sister Rebecca in 1757, so had evidently died
between 1738 and 1757. |

Aylmer [Elsmore] married in Albury, Herts. On 24 February 1678. |
|
Marriage |
|
|
|
Edward Sedgwick was vicar of
Walkington, Yorkshire by 1702, when he wrote letters to the Archbishop of
York and the Archbishop of Canterbury explaining why he had felt it necessary
to marry his wife a second time, due to some perceived irregularity with their
first marriage. |
|
Letter |
|
|
|
Edward Sedgwick evidently had
bouts of insanity, of some sort, so the family finances were in the hands of
his son James by 1709. When James died suddenly in 1719, a dispute arose over
the administration of his affairs between Edward and his daughter Rebecca on
the one side, and Edward's son Robert and son-in-law William Anderson on the
other. This resulted in a collection of records being preserved, which give
interesting insughts into their family life and tribulations. |

At the Restoration a payment of
£4,000 was ordered to be made to Michael Moleyns in part compensation for his
losses during the Civil War, (fn. 73) but he was unable to clear off the
mortgage on his manors of Clapcot and Rush, which passed to Basil Brent.
Brent was holding in 1660, (fn. 74) in which year he
conveyed the manors to Edward Sedgwick. The latter's son or successor Thomas
Sedgwick was holding in 1666, (fn. 75) when he
seems to have alienated them to Sir John Lockhart |

May it please your Grace |

|

I think myself obliged by
promise and duty, Honorable Confessor, and paternal affection to my poor
children to lay this scene before your Grace which I did hope you’ld not have
been too much enquired after as I perceive by sad experience it is. That in ye
year 1678 being very young and destitute of a father and denied supplies for
a College life I did in the parish of Bishops Stortford in Hertfordshire
marry the daughter of Ann Aylmer widow the relict of a very virtuous and good
man Mr. Justinian Aylmer of the same apothecary. Now my witnesses being dead
I cannot well know how this matter of fact may appear to be, therefore I add
further that for want of some small circumstances and formalities in that
solemnity I was obliged and did again marry the same person with all due
formalities the same year. Yet upon enquiry I find no record appears to make
good the time and person when we last married so shall in that particular
submit myself to your Grace’s ear having first assured your Grace that I did
no way consent neither after nor before to ye destroying of the records &
should not have been able to have found out ye mischievous purpose of it, had
not some strange things been written to me within these four years at ye
Beverley Hall garth to affront and abuse me in Mr. Waller’s name the present
incumbent of Rowley. To the answer to which letters as I ……. …. made it I do
appeal & shall take that for my ground to explain all particulars. |
|
|
|
|
|
Now, my Lord, I must confess had
records been extant I should cheerfully have appealed to them but what to say
in this difficulty & obscurity I cannot tell. But so much I well remember
that ye first marriage was about Michaelmas Day 78 on a Holyday as most
proper & in the presence of ……..
The next marriage of ye same person was by Mr. Cox in the presence of my
brother in law Mr. John Aylmer Mr. Arthur Leadman and the parish clerk. This
I kept some time past for ye sake of a small pension which I had to receive
of Sir John Barrington Nov. 4th. 78. And now I think will not be demanded of
your Grace in order to ye full satisfaction in such a common point of
matrimony. Nothing is more ordinarily practised by the Fellows of Colleges
than this ability to keep close the business
……. such a small time be past
& after that namely ye Lady Day following we set up housekeeping &
have ever since liv’d in ye public view. Thus I humbly leave ye naked truth
in your Grace’s hands, & subscribe |

May it please your Grace |

About April last the worshipful
Esqr Darby of Buttercomb in the East Riding of Yorkshire did communicate to
me the …….. …………. in the world touching my marriage what
opinion your Grace had of it. |
|
|
|
|
|
I have suffered so much, it
seems, on that account that I am to seek by what means to obtain
satisfaction. I presume your Grace had the first wrong intelligence from Mr.
Leigh whose curate I was long enough after my marriage with my present wife
as would have appeared had I thought it advisable to have endangered so many
clergymen, as much have suffered, had I been brought to my oath at first
search. |
|
|
|
|
|
However this is my substantial
comfort, that I did no person wrong, much less my own soul in that affair,
….. I am able to make one by undeniable evidence of friends and foes in
Bishops Stortford now, I hope, living, that it was not my fault but grievous
punishment, that the two several times of marriage with one and the same
person, who is yet my wife, was not divulged: so I would not suffer any
clergyman to appear in the proof of it, but he who first solemniz’d it, &
could not gainsay it in his last expiring hours when I reproved him sharply
……. he ask’d me forgiveness. |
|
|
|
|
|
Besides, my Lord, I suffer in
not receiving the pension due from Sr. Richard Lewett on my
brother Horatio’s account who was more injuriously
treated for my sake and whose dues would have been considerable was not that
Bond also imbezzled without my knowledge and privity. |
|
|
|
|
|
I most humbly crave your Grace’s
effectual assistance & redress of these and all other wrongs, which I
shall in time discover and shall pray for your Grace’s health here &
eternally I am |

I have your’s dated the 24th
instant, and in answer to it do thank you that I shall make trial tomorrow
how far I can prevail with the Bishop of London to have you put into a
supervisorship, or at least a foot walk in Mr. Brenand’s collection: him I
will discourse at Roger Nightingale’s next Friday come sennight and if he
think good, shall dine with him. For I have no other thoughts, nor ever had,
than to secure and advance my children all I can by fair means; and desire
not to have any occasion to discountenance them, or put any violent methods
in practice. I am sure my services to the Crown and Church have long since
deserved far other returns than I have yet met with from all kinds of
persons, persuasions and interests, but I must hold myself contented till a
new opportunity do present to approve my skill and conduct to those who have
most maliciously affronted and abused me for my patience and moderation. Your
mother is much afflicted with a rheumatism, Nanny droops & is very ill,
Molly swooned in the church last Lord’s day in the afternoon, poor Betty
continues to have her convulsions strong and many. Your son grows a fine boy.
Mine and your mother’s Blessing, your brother & sisters their love, your
son’s duty. |

Dear Brother, |
|
|
|
|
|
I must desire you to excuse me
that I did not before this time return you thanks for your last kind letter
which I received six weeks ago at last, brought to me by Mary Bateson She
told me she was Mary Bradly’s daughter in law and that you were at York Assizes
and lodged at her father’s. She told me also that you and my sister and the
children were all well which I was very glad to hear. Pray God long continue
that great mercy to you all. I give you thanks likewise for the good news you
sent me of the rest of our family’s health at that time. I wrote to my father
a considerable time ago and have been in great expectation of an answer but
having not had one yet which has been the chief thing that has hindered me
answering yours all this time the not hearing from any of them has so
discomposed my thoughts that indeed I scarcely know how to write for the last
letter I had from my father which was in Sept[ember] in answer to one I wrote
to him in August has given me great disturbance in my thoughts ever since
upon several accounts one th[ing] is he is not for continuing everything in
Brother James’ hands which will soon be destroyed and come to nothing if once
my father has the management we have had sufficient experience of it and
another thing is that he will pos[s]es[s] himself all the world is obliged to
take care of us and make Dukes and Ladys of us all this notion does extremely
vex and disturb me and I am heartily grieved to think that my father does
expose himself and his children at such a Rate amongst his acquaintance. In
his last to me he said he hoped my aunt would set Brother Edward up when he
was out of his time. I am amazed he can entertain such strange fancies to
think all the world obliged to us. I don’t understand for what indeed. Tis
true my aunt lives like a gentlewoman and is not in want nor beholding
anybody but she is very sparing as to her own expenses on purpose as she has
told me to be able to do something for those that wanted and could no way
help themselves. She has been very kind to several of us when we were in want
that was to me before I had a place. She never let me want though I can
safely say that for myself I was as sparing then as possible and then to my
bro[ther] all along in his apprenticeship. She has been doing for him what
she could or else I don’t know what would have become of him for indeed I
could not pretend to wholly maintain him in all his wants which are perpetual
for set aside the clothes and shirts he had at home when he came down two
years ago I don’t know one penny my father has sent him in all his seven
years which I thank God is almost expired. I am sure it has cost me a great
share out of the little which I am forced to work very hard for but I cannot
see my friends want mere necessaries so long as I can possibly help them but
indeed when my brother is out of his time he must take care for himself then
and I must endeavour to save a little money that I may be able to come down
once and see my dear relations all together, for whom I have a tender concern
though it is not in my power to make much show of it by doing any great
matter of kindness. I hope you will excuse the meanness of the present I sent
to the children they were none of them ever worn by me but just as they was
given me. I know my sister is a good housewife and will put everything to the
best use which made me send them. I thought they would make little things for
the children and I understand that our poor sisters could get no clothes but
what is taken upon trust made me willing to send a few old things amongst
them for I long to have them clear with the world as to debt. I am mighty
uneasy till I know what sister Susee and Seabee do with themselves I wish
they were in some tolerable place if they might get something. I should be
glad if you dear brother could inform me how our house is managed as to the
affair of housekeeping for I understand my brother pays a hundred pounds a
year to my father. I suppose that taxes and outrents are paid out of that but
for what corn is spent in the house whether that is allowed for and that
swine that are killed also they are for the most part in such confusion at
home that I can never understand anything of their management. I have
received a letter from my father yesterday which has very much increased my
uneasiness for I find by his writing his head is very much disturbed
imagining he ought to be the governor of the nation pray God of his infinite
mercy and goodness so to compose his mind as that he may be able to govern
himself and not go on at this extravagant way of talking. But which way to
deal with him I am utterly at a loss to know. I beseech Almighty to instruct
us. I am extremely grieved for him and for my dear mother also and desire all
that is possible may be said and done to comfort her. Pray dear brother give
me as exact an account as you can with all convenient speed how matters go on
all sides. I suppose you are going there sometimes now you are so near. My
duty and love when you see them pray. I am concerned that you have the
disadvantage and expense of removing so often and wish with all my heart
providence would order something more advantageous for you. I hope you have
nothing to do with the law that occasioned your being at York in assize time.
Pray be so kind as to answer all my requests I have here made and you will
very much oblige me. Brother James or sister Mary I reckon can give you
account of all asking your pardon for all this trouble and adding my sincere
love and affection to you and my sister the same and blessing to your
children I am dear brother your most affectionate sister Rebecca Sedgwick. My
aunt and brother’s kind love to you and yours. |

Dear brother, |
|
|
|
|
|
Having an opportunity to convey
this to London makes me willing to trouble you with it and also return you a
great many thanks for your kind enquiry you make in so particular a manner
after my health. I bless God I am able to keep up and am not sick though I
cannot say I am very well. I am troubled with an oppression upon my breathing
and think myself something of the declining hand but I hope if God Almighty
sees it best for me still to live to come down into the country to enjoy the
satisfaction of all my dear relations’ good company once again some time next
summer. I desire a visit to you all if it pleases God to spare us so long. I
hope you are all pretty well. I shall be glad to hear it by a letter from you
as soon as you can. The health and prosperity of my dear relations is the
most welcome news to me in this world, and pray dear brother let me hear by
you how all do at Walkington. I should be heartily glad if my poor dear
brother James’ pilgrimage could be still made a little more agreeable to him
than it has been for the time past. I want to know in particular how my
sister Mary has her health because Mrs. Griffin told me she had a fainting
fit in the church last summer when she was there. I should be extremely
troubled if she should be subject to fits. I should take it very kindly if
you will inquire particularly after her health and let me know. Another
favour I have to desire of you and it is to let me know if it be possible
what sister Susee does desire to do about the business you spoke to me of in
your last. I am in great concern about her and wish she is not the chief
courter. I doubt she is a great deal too forward in the matter if not I could
wish she was well married to him with all my heart if it could be any ways
brought about so as to hear upon what terms he would marry her then we might
see what could be done else I think it all nonsense to pretend to be courting
years together and at last be made a fool on. I have written to her also
about it now this post and also by Mrs. Griffin when she went down but she
never answered the letter to me yet. I shall be very glad to hear my dear
father could keep calm and easy in his family it would be a great blessing
indeed to us all and that my dear mother were pretty easy as to her [pain?]
whatever trouble and disquiet my friends meet with that I can hear of I may
safely say I feel it double. Their tranquility is all I aim at in this world
and the uttermost of my desire here. Methinks I want to hear that my father
and brother had bargained again for the [tithe?]. If ever my brother leaves
them the family is utterly ruined that we are all [sensible?] of I am afraid
I can never bear to hear the news [but?] I will hope the best that there will
not be occasion for me to hear it. I must not trespass too much upon your
patience with my dull scribble so will have done at the time pray dear
brother accept of my true love and service to yourself and the same to my
sister love and blessing to all the little ones with hearty prayers for your
health and happiness is all at present from dear brother your most
affectionate sister and servant Rebecca Sedgwick. |

Pray when you write direct for
me at Fawley Court near Henley upon Thames Bucks by way of London. |

can to answer what I request of you. |

Plaintiffs: Thomas Deane,
merchant of St George Buttolph Lane, London. |
|
|
|
|
|
Defendants: Robert Sedgwick, Rebecca Sedgwick and Edward Sedgwick. |
|
|
|
|
|
Date of bill: |
|
|
|
|
|
Main points: - late in 1715 Edward Sedgwick of Allhallows London Wall,
coachmaker, was close to bankruptcy |
|
|
|
|
|
- Rebecca and Robert Sedgwick, his sister
and brother, asked Thomas Deane, merchant to speak with Edward’s creditors
and try to restructure his debt to something he would be able to pay |
|
|
|
|
|
- Edward’s goods were appraised at around
£103 |
|
|
|
|
|
- Edward had a debt of £105 to his sister
Rebecca at the time |
|
|
|
|
|
- Edward constituted his sister Rebecca as
his attorney to sell his goods |
|
|
|
|
|
- Robert at the time was an unemployed
Excise officer and was in ‘low and poor condition’ |
|
|
|
|
|
- Thomas Deane took Robert into his house to
assist in managing Edward’s estate |
|
|
|
|
|
- Edward and some unknown ‘confederates’
disputed some of the above statements, and it became unclear who had said
what, whether Rebecca had the authority to act, who had paid how much to
whom, and for what, etc. etc. (“manifold untruths uncertainties
insufficiencies and imperfections”) |

Brother Sedgwick, |

I received both yours, I was at
Walkington yesterday and communicated the matter to them. Sister Rebecca says
that she will stand by her father and vindicate his right. Both Ashton Leak
and his wife were there. He said that you had no more to do with anything
that belonged to your brother than he had. He carried sister to York last
week to take administration but she was disappointed by reason of your Caveat
entered there. I perceive both by her words and actions that she intends to
keep all to herself by having her father take administration and by not
declaring what brother died worth. I know nothing of the bank security nor
other writings being never suffered to see any of his papers. There will be
nothing done till you come down and make them produce all his papers by
bringing an administration with you if you can obtain it, if not you need not
doubt but have one at York since your father is incapable by reason of the
disorder of his head and your mother by reason of old age unto either of
which if they were capable administration doth belong before the brothers and
sisters, but since they are both incapable it is in the power of the Judge to
grant administration to such of the brothers or sisters of the intestate he
thinks fit. This is the opinion & judgement of a Learned man in the Law
who will give us the best assistance that lies in his power. Your brother died on the fifth of July by a fall from his horse
& never spoke more. He was buried on the sixth
of the same month. I hope to see you down speedily and if you find not a kind
welcome with your father as I fear you will not you shall be very welcome to
me at Bp. Burton. My wife joins with me in love to yourself and wife. I am
your most affectionate brother W. Anderson. |

Bro. Anderson, |

Recd. y[ou]rs last night in
which I find that my sister there stands to her pretended case of my father’s
Right. Were there no Effects I am well satisfied that she would not give
herself the trouble to have taken so long a journey. You may let her know that
I shall push by my proceedings and am as capable to see that father have
justice done as herself. As for that saucy fellow Locke I desire him to keep
away for I shall take care of him if he does not pray inform yourself of any
Effects. And let my sister know if she has not a mind that we should she will
not agree as brother and sister ought to do ‘tis her fault and not mine. I
shall try that with her. I shall be down as soon as possible I can. She can’t
administer without me so at her Peril she meddles with anything or conceal
the least part of what he had out at use. I think you may demand possession
of the papers etc. in my name seeing you have power as well as myself. Don’t
you be any way dismayed at her clandestine proceedings. I am glad that she
was disappointed at York. She may see that God Almighty will not suffer her
to engross all to herself. Sure we are as near Relations as she is [??]. Tis
strange she dare stay so long in the county for fear that my Aunt Robinson
should die before she can take possession of what she shall leave. Since my
last to you have agreed with a Merchant and entered in my place to be his
book keeper so can’t come down just now but shall come as soon as find she
moves the Court at York against me. Then shall appear for they must give me a
summons before they can proceed. Don’t fear that I will let her have any
advantage. When she sees that she can’t have her ends then she will comply. I
advise you to enter a Caveat in the court at York in the right of your wife so
she will see that we will stand with one another. Pray give me a line the
next Post what she pretends to. My love to sister the same duty to father
& mother. I am your affectionate brother RS. |

Brother Sedgwick, |
|
|
|
|
|
I rec’d yours on Saturday the
27th instant and could not answer it that day because the post was gone out
before I got it. First you say that sister Beck has taken out a commission to
examine your father’s capacity which must be sent down into the country to be
executed and I desire you to name these four gentlemen to be commissioners on
your part [Tho.?] Gee & Elecker[?] Bradshaw Esq., Tho. Mense{?] &
Henry Jefferson clergymen because father is one and I will do you all the
service I can in the matter. The Chancellor of York John Audley LLD is the
Ordinary but who is Surrogate I know not there being many Surrogates
belonging to York but this matter properly belongs to the Commissary of
Howden’s cognizances because tis in that jurisdiction but I fear you must
take Administration both at York and London if not at Howden too. I knew
nothing of the Instruments sister brought down for her father to execute till
after she was gone for she acted all as clandestinely below as she did above
but I suppose Ashton Leake was a witness to it for it was done at his house
in Beverley. Mr. Bradshaw says that you told him that Bro. James had a
thousand pounds in the bank. I wish you can prove it if not he says you must
file a Bill in Chancery against her to make her discover it and I pray you
join Ashton Leak with her for he viewed all his papers and is confederate
with her. Never fear but we shall prove your father’s incapacity when the
Commission of Lunacy comes down and then the right of Administration belongs
to you and who the Judge pleases to join with you. Let me hear how you
proceed in the matter and you may depend upon the best appurtenance that lies
in the power |

Brother Sedgwick, |
|
|
|
|
|
Since I wrote to you and
received your last but this before me your father has taken Administration by
virtue of a Commission out of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury which hath
been confirmed at York. There was no stopping of it here as the Surrogate told
me if you could not do it above now the only question is whether your father
be obliged to make distribution amongst his children or not and if he be how
we must recover it for I fear he will do nothing of his own accord. Pray take
a Lawyer’s advice in this matter and let me know it by the next post for I
can do nothing more till I be informed about it. There is nothing can reverse
what is done but by taking out a Commission of Lunacy against your father
which may be easily proved against him but the Law supposes him capable till
the contrary be made appear. Your father is mightily set against you and me
because sister Beck hath told him that we put them to all this charge and
trouble when we only assert our own right by claiming an equal share and
proportion and I am of opinion that we shall never get a farthing by your
father if the Law will not oblige him to make distribution. As to your
father’s preaching I suppose it is but often a sorry manner though Mr. Ashton
commends it but this much I can assure you that if he get not a Curate
speedily the Court of York will send one and appoint him his salary. I am
much obliged to Mistress Beck for influencing her Lady to write to the
Archbishop of York against me but my Lord told me that he believed it was all
entirely groundless and so it was. I think the lady might employ herself
better than in accusing clergymen to their Diocesan whom she never sees. My
Lord will not be influenced by such Bangorean Ladies and I thank God that I
did not belong to my Lord of Bangor’s jurisdiction but with what confidence
dares he exercise any when he despises all jurisdiction etc. |
|
|
|
|
|
I have room to say no more and
therefore rest your affectionate brother Wm. Anderson. |

Family (1116) |
|

Documents connected with an
attempt to prevent letters of administration for the estate of James Sedgwick, who died intestate on 5
July 1719, from being granted to his father the Revd.
Edward Sedgwick, rector of Walkington in the East
Riding. A letter written twelve years earlier by Edward Sedgwick, and two
written about ten years earlier by Rebecca Sedgwick, daughter of Edward and
sister of James, are being produced to show that Edward was not in his right
mind even then. Robert Sedgwick, son of Edward and brother of James and
Rebecca, and the Revd. William Anderson, married to Mary, another sister of
James, assert that the Revd. Edward Sedgwick was notorious in the Walkington
area for his lack of reason and was thus not a proper person to have
administration of the estate of James. They are also concerned that if he
should obtain administration he would not share the money involved with
James’ siblings. Rebecca supported her father as did Mary, the wife of
William Anderson. (An entry in the Act Book at the Borthwick Institute, York
shows that administration was granted on 9 Feb. 1719/20 to the Revd. Edward Sedgwick). |
