AMOUNDERNESS HUNDRED 



His son John, 1 ' known as Arbalaster and de Hackinsall, 

 in 1 246 agreed with Eva, his father's widow, as to 

 dower. 13 At the same time he claimed wreck of the 

 sea at Hackinsall, but without good ground. 14 John 

 died in 1262 holding six plough-lands in Hackinsall 

 and Preesall as before, also three plough-lands in 

 Hambleton ; Geoffrey his son and heir was of full 

 age. 1 * John the son of Geoffrey succeeded before 

 1284, 1 * and was himself followed about 1299" by a 

 brother Richard. 18 John the son of Richard de 

 Hackinsall "had a son William, who was in 1335 to 

 marry Alice daughter of John de Bradkirk. 20 William 

 had a daughter Ismania, 21 whose daughter Joan 

 married James Pickering, 23 and in 1402 James and 

 Joan had a dispute with the Abbot of Cockersand 

 respecting 900 acres of land in Preesall held by the 

 abbot, a dispute renewed in 1437 by the plaintiff's 

 son James Pickering.** 



It was probably this James who died in 1479 in 

 possession of the manor, but leaving four daughters as

co-heirs Margaret wife of Richard Boteler, Isabel 

 wife of John Leyburne, Mabel wife of Thomas 

 Acclamby and Joan wife of Nicholas Acclamby. 

 Each of them had a fourth part of the manor,* 4 but 

 the descent is by no means clear, as the subdivisions 

 are given differently at different times. 



The Boteler share may be that held by the Butlers 

 of Hackinsall. 25 William Butler died in 1586 holding 

 a fourth part of the manor of Hackinsall, with 

 messuages and lands in Hackinsall, Preesall, Poulton, 

 Thistleton, Staynall and Elswick. 28 The heir was 

 his grandson William, aged twenty-three, who died 

 in 1613 holding a moiety of the manor of the king 

 in socage, and leaving a son Henry to succeed him. 27 

 Henry's daughter Ellen carried the estate to William 

 Fyfe of Wedacre. 28 Their daughter Catherine became 

 heir, and marrying John Elletson, this part of the 

 manor has descended to Mr. Henry Chandos Elletson 

 of Parrox Hall. 29 He is said to hold a third part of 

 the manor.
