THE OWNERS OF SHALLCROSS. 9I 



V. — Another daughter (Emma) ; she married Edward Browne, 

 of Marsh Hall,*of that old Peak family (arg. on a chcv. gu. three 

 roses of the field). Her son, Nicholas Browne, married Eliza- 

 beth, daughter of John (X.), and continued his line. A 

 daughter married Nicholas Bagshawe of Abney and continued 

 that line. 



VI. — Another unnamed daughter ; she married Nicholas Bag- 

 shawe, of Abney, and probably had issue Nicholas Bagshawe, 

 of Wormhill and Abney, temp. Hen. VI., who continued his 

 line (arms as Bagshawe of The Ridge, but the field or). 



John de Schalcros attained probably the ripest years of any 

 of this family. He died at his ancestral home, and was buried 

 at Taxal, crossing the Goyt for the last time; apparently living 

 about 1400-92, and seeing all the Wars of the Roses. He 

 was succeeded by his eldest son, 



John SHAKELCROSSE, or Schalcross, or Shawcrosse 

 (X.),t of Shalrros, or Shawcrosse. He held the office of Bailiff 

 of the High Peak, 12 May, 8 Hen. VII., 1492. 1 There is a 

 complaint, temp. Hen. VII., to the Chancellor of the Duchy by 

 Robert Hollingworth, of Bowden, that this John Shalcross, and 

 others, pulled down the floors of his house, carried off divers 

 " grete arkes and coffers " and other " erlomes " ; the answer 

 being that Hollingworth was attainted of felony. § He may have 

 had to do, as Bailiff, with the complaint against a relative, John 

 Shalcross, of Greenlow,|( 10 Oct., 13 Hen. VII. (Court Roll), for 

 being seen in the forest by night with greyhounds and bows. 

 He married Alice, eldest daughter, but among the younger of the 

 twenty-one children of Thomas Beresford, of Fenny Bentley, 

 who here built his castellated stone mansion ; and she 

 has her place among the shrouded figures on her parents'

 from the various Duchv and Court Rolls, etc. The above was perhaps 

 identical with the John Shalcross of Greenlow Grange, 3 Hen. VII.
