Nº XIX. PEDIGREE OF BOWES OF STREATLAM. (See Vol. I. p. 89.) [For the information contained in this article, I am indebted to Robert Surtees of Mainsforth, Esq.] “Richard Bowes (of Aske in Yorkshire) youngest sonne of S{r} Raph Bowes of Streatlam Knight (& of his wife Marjory daughter & one of ye heirs of S{r} Richard Conyers of South Cowton Knt). He married Elizabeth ye daughter & one of ye co‑heirs of S{r} Roger Aske of Aske K{t} & by hir had issue S{r} George Bowes ye Knight Marshall & at length heire maile of the whole family of Bowes: Robert Bowes 2{d} sonne: and ten daughters: viz. 1. Bridgit married to Thomas Hussey Esq{r}. ye next heire maile to ye Lord Hussey. 2. Eliz. mar{d} John Bainbrigge of Snotterton Esq. 3. Anne mar{d} Marmaduke Vincent Esq. Muriall mar. to ―― Jackson of Bedale Esq. _Marjory † to Mr Knoxes § a Devine in Scotland._ Margaret to Thomas Middleton Esq. & after to Ambrose Burbeck. Margery Lucy Agnes & Jane all died unmarried.” [On the margin, in a different hand,] “† sometime _called Joane_ to {408} distinguish her from her sister of the same name. § Knox the famouse Reformer.” The above is extracted verbatim from a narrative Pedigree compiled about 1640 by Thomas Bowes, whose autograph is on the last page, and which is now in the possession of Mr Surtees, having been purchased by him at the sale of Counsellor Gill’s Library several years ago. The Pedigree in the Herald’s office stands on the opposite page. It notices only four of the daughters, entirely omitting Mrs Knox and the four unmarried maidens mentioned above. This is from the Visitation of Durham, by Flower, Norroy, 1575. The Visitation by St George, 1615, is still less full; it names only Ralph, Robert, and Richard, omitting all the daughters.――A modern Pedigree of less authority amongst Mr Allan’s collections at Grange, states Knox’s wife to be Joan――but is answered by the old narrative statement, which is far the fullest, and by the marginal note affixed to it. It was very common at that time to have two children of the same Christian name. The Knight Marshall had two wives. From the first, a Mallory of Studley, descends Thomas Bowes, now of Bradley, Esq. Co. Pal. who is the male heir of the whole family; but the issue of the second match, a Talbot of Grafton, got the chief estate, now in the Earl of Strathmore by heirs general.
