Families covered: Hall of Barlow Lees, Hall of Grantham, Hall of Greatford (Gretford) Hall, Hall of Jamaica, Hall of Kettlethorpe
| Commoners starts its entry on the Halls of Jamaica with the following: "This is a branch of the Halls of Greatford Hall, in the county of Lincoln, a family of great antiquity and high consideration, who were themselves a scion of the Fitz Williams of Clixby, of the same lineage as Earl Fitzwilliam. A younger son of that house, Arthur Fitz-William, of the Hall, was called, to distinguish him from his brothers, Arthur of the Hall, and that designation became in the sequel, Arthur Hall. Many of his descendants were, for generations after, christened Fitzwilliam Hall." We hope in due course to find the exact connection between the following and the Fitzwilliams (at which time we may redo this page and the apparently connected family shown on Hall02). Meanwhile, we admit to being rather confused by the clear indication that the family branched from the Fitzwilliams at an early time whilst the earliest Fitzwilliams of Clixby we know of did not take that designation until the late 16th / early 17th century i.e. after the time of the following Thomas. | |||||||||||||||
