96 THE OWNERS OF SHALLCROSS. 



Jodrell, his brother-in-law, his son Leonard being left a stryke 

 of corn. In 1548 Ellin Jodrell of Yeardsley, widow, bequeathed 

 to her brother-in-law Anthony Shalcross x\s. 



By Eleanor, or Helen, his wife, Anthony Shalcrosse left issue, 

 I. — Leonard, or Lionell, of whom presently. 



IL — Peter. Living 1565. Apparently of defective intellect. 

 Named as an executor, with his brother, of their father's Will. 



IIL — Emma, married, about 1554, Godfrey, son of William 

 Bradshaw, of Bradshaw Hall (arms* impaled Harl. 6592, f. 16). 

 But in the Widdrington Roll, Godfrey is described as of Windley, 

 county Derby (arg. two bendlets betw. as many martlets sa. — seal 

 of Bradshaw of Windley, 1431, in B.M.). The first is, how- 

 ever, correct.! Thus he was a descendant of John de 

 Bradshawe, jun., who- signs the Shallcross charter No. 22. J 

 This Godfrey died in 1607, aged 76, when letters of 

 administration were granted his widow. She was great-aunt of 

 President Bradshaw. Her son, Francis Bradshaw, of Eyam 

 Hall {jure uxoris), was overseer to the Will of Leonard (XHL), 

 1605, and was a visitor at Shallcross Hall in 161 4. 



IV. — Anne, married, after 1565, Humphrey Downes, probably 

 the second son of John Downes, of Overton, Downes, and 

 Taxal, which Humphrey died before 1588. They had issue, 

 Reginald Downes, 1577- 16 10, in whom that line was continued. 

 The arms of Downes {sa. a hart lodged arg.) and Shalcross are 

 impaled in the Widdrington Roll. 



Anthony Shalcrosse died, aged about 75, in his mediaeval 

 Hall§ in 1565, his wife surviving him. His Will was dated 

 3 August, 1557, and proved, P.C.C, 29 May, 1565 (abstract): — 



To be buried in Taxall Churchyard under the same stone my father 

 was buried. To Leonard my son ii best oxen, xii silver spoons, a 

 challice, etc., ii best potts and ii best pannes, and vi of my best 



* An annulet for diflference, both here and ia the Widdrington Roll.
