THE OWNERS OF SHALLCROSS. I03 



John SHALLCROSS, was bom before 1565,- and was of 

 Leek, county Stafford. His first wife was Prue, second 

 daughter and co-heiress (wdth her sister Isabel), who married 

 Anthony Kinardsley, of Loxley, living 34 Eliz., and, dying 1624, 

 left issue) of Lewis or Ludowick Walker, of Bramshall,t near 

 Uttoxeter, by whom he left issue,

n. — Anne, unmarried in 1601. Buried at Taxal June 14th, 

 1617. 



HL — Dorothy, or Prew, God-daughter of Bridget Shallcross, 

 married before 1601 George Walker, of Weston, county of 

 Stafford, a scion of Walker of Salt, who died 1662, and had 

 issue. Under Walker of Salt at the Visitation of county 

 Stafford, 1663, the wife of George Walker is described as the 

 daughter of George Shallcross of Shallcross. \ But the present 

 entry seems correct, as it corresponds with the Wills (1603) 

 and with the Widdrington Roll, where the arms {vide 

 Richard XIV.) are impaled. They had issue. 



John Shalcross married, secondly, Ellen ( ? daughter of John 

 Vernon, of Ipstons), relict of William Forde,§ of Mosse, near 

 Leek, but had no further issue. His Will, an important one 

 in elucidation of the family pedigree, is dated October 19th, 

 1592, and was proved P. C. C, July 2nd, 1593. Abstract: — ■
