NOTES AND QUERIES.

Donnell appeared in force near the town, and 

 Chichester rode out to meet him. Some attempts 

 were made to parley, but Chichester irritated by 

 the martial array of the Scots, whose powers in 

 the field he underrated, rashly determined to 

 " give them a charjje." MacDonnell, who was 

 in advance with his horse, fell back towards his 

 foot, and Chichester following up attacked him, 

 and " at the side of the hill was shott in the legge, 

 whearupon he tooke his horse, and about half a 

 myle on this syde, cominge doune a hill, was shott 

 in the hedd, which was his deathe's wownde." I 

 have been thus particular in describing Sir John 

 Chichester's death, as the circumstances of it have 

 been mis-stated by such eminent authorities. A 

 much fuller account from a letter of Lieutenant 

 Harte, one of the few English officers who sur- 

 vived, will be found in the Ulster Journal of 

 ArchcBologif, No. xix. pp. 188 — 209., from which 

 account several of the above particulars are taken. 



Alfred T. Lee. 

 Carrickfergus. 



Thomas, first Lord Bruce of Whorlton, married 

 Frances, only child of Sir Kobert Chichester of 

 Raleigh, near Barnstaple, Devon, K.B., by Anne 

 his first wife, daughter of John, first Lord Haring- 

 ton of Exton; and sister and co-heir of John, second 

 Lord Harington, who died Aug. 27, 1613, three 

 days after his father. Lady Bruce was buried at 

 Exton. See her epitaph in Collins, vol. viii. p. 181. 



John de Chichester (temp. Henry VI.) married 

 Thomasine, daughter and heir of Sir William 

 Raleigh of Raleigh, and by that marriage acquired 

 the estate of Raleigh. From this marriage lineally 

 descended the above-named Sir Robert Chichester. 



Sir Robert married a second time. His eldest 

 son was created a baronet, the ancestor of the 

 present- Sir Arthur Chichester of Raleigh. Q. D.

»B. JOHN POCKLINGTON. 



(!•* S. viii. 215.; ix. 247.; x. 37.) 



As several inquiries have been made in " N. & 

 Q." regarding this eminent man, I enclose a pedi- 

 gree composed for one of his lineal descendants by 

 an official of the Heralds' College, from legal evi- 

 dence, within the last year. John Pocklington, 

 D.D,, Prebendary of Peterborough, Lincoln, and 

 Windsor, and Chaplain to King Charles I., de- 

 prived by the Puritans, died 14 Nov. 1642, 

 leaving issue, by Anne his wife, two sons, Oliver 

 and John, and two daughters (Margaret, wife of 



Thomas Wright, 1653, and Elizabeth, living un- 

 married in 1642). His son, John Pocklington, is 

 stated to have held lands at Higham Ferrers in 

 Northants, in the pedigree before me, which was 

 arranged for a descendant of his brother Oliver, 

 and says nothing further about John or his de- 

 scendants. However, printed authorities describe 

 him as having been subsequently Recorder of 

 Huntingdon, Knight of the Shire for that county 

 1705, and a judge in Ireland. His only son, Ad- 

 miral Christopher Pocklington, according to the 

 Baronetage, married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir 

 Thomas Domville, Bart., of Terapleogue, co, 

 Dublin; and their son, Charles Pocklington, Esq., 

 M.P. for Dublin, succeeded to the estates and took 

 the name of Domville, and is represented by the 

 Irish baronet of that name. Oliver Pocklington, 

 Rector of Brinkton, co. Hunts, M.D., the other 

 son of Dr. John Pocklington, died the 9 th May, 

 1681, sst. 57 : he left issue by his wife three sons, 

 Oliver, William, and Charles, and one daughter, 

 Catherine, born 1665, married to Walter Acton, 

 citizen and goldsmith of London, from which mar- 

 riage descend Cardinal Acton, the late Lady 

 Throckmorton, and the present Sir John Emeric 

 Edward Dalberg Acton, Bart. The eldest son, 

 Oliver Pocklington, was Rector of Chelmsford, co. 

 Essex. His first wife's name is unknown ; but Mary 

 Pocklington, the only child of his first marriage, 

 became the wife of the Rev. John Tindal, also 

 Rector of Chelmsford, eldest son of the Rev. Ni- 

 colas Tindal, Rector of Alverstoke, co. Southamp- 

 ton, Rector of Colborne in the Isle of Wight, 

 Vicar of Waltham, co. Essex, and translator and 

 continuator of Rapin's History of England. One 

 daughter, the wife of the Rev. John Morgan, 

 Rector of Chelmsford, was the only issue of Mrs. 

 John Tindal's marriage. The Rev. Oliver Pock- 

 lington married secondly Katherine, daughter and 

 sole heir of John Manwood, Esq., of Priors, in the 

 parish of Bromfield, co. Essex, lineal descendant 

 of John Manwood, Counsellor-at-Law, author of 

 the Forest Laws, which have been generally and 

 erroneously attributed to his kinsman Sir Roger 

 Manwood, Kt, Chief Baron of Exchequer in 

 1579. The Rev. Oliver Pocklington had issue by 

 Katherine Manwood his wife, one son, Thomas 

 Pocklington, Esq., who died S.P. in 1769, and two 

 daughters, eventually co-heirs of the families of 

 Manwood and Pocklington of Essex. Catherine, 

 the elder, married the Rev. John WoodroofFe, 

 Rector of Cranham, co. Essex ; and among her 

 living descendants are the Rev. George Wood- 

 rooffe, Canon of Winchester, and William Wood- 

 rooflfe, of Lincoln's Inn, Esq. Diana Pocklington, 

 the younger daughter, married George Tindal, 

 Capt. R.N., of Coval Hall, Chelmsford, second 

 son of Nicolas Tindal aforesaid, translator and 

 continuator of Rapin's History of England: from 

 them lineally descended the late Sir Nicolas Co-
