Families covered: Rugeley of Dunton, Rugeley of Hawksyard
| We have found reference in a web site that indicates that the Rugeleys of Dunton were also 'of Hawksyard' for at least some generations. The first two generations came from that web site. | |||||||||||||||
| Simon de Rugeley of Hawksyard, Staffordshire | |||||||||||||||
| A. | Hugh de Rugeley of Hawksyard | ||||||||||||||
| i. | Nicholas Rugeley of Hawksyard (a 1422) the first mentioned by Visitation (Warwickshire, 1619), being 'of Hauksyard' | ||||||||||||||
| m. Edith Waldive or Waldiffe | |||||||||||||||
| a. | Nicholas Rugeley of (Hawksyard &) Denton (Dunton) (a 1454) | ||||||||||||||
| (1) | William Rugeley of (Hawksyard &) Donton (Dunton) | ||||||||||||||
| m. Joan Botiler of Alspathe | |||||||||||||||
| Visitation (Warwickshire, 1682-3) shows this William (son of Nicholas) as married to _ Massey and father of John who married Joyce Sheldon. We provisionally follow Visitation (Warwickshire, 1619) which shows 2 generations as we have seen reference elsewhere to William married to Joan Butler. However, this should be investigated further. Also to be investigated is the line of Hawksyard which appears to have terminated in Mary, dau of Thomas Rugeley of Hawkesyard. | |||||||||||||||
| (A) | Nicholas Rugeley of Dunton | ||||||||||||||
| m. Jane Massey | |||||||||||||||
| Arbitrarily (!), we presume to show that this generation is where Dunton and Hawksyard follow different sons. Noting that it is only because a web site indicates that Nicholas's grandfather and GGF were 'of Hawksyard', whereas Visitation shows them as of Dunton, it could be that the properties followed different branches of the family several generations earlier. Note that it could also be that Hawksyard followed a younger son rather than an elder son (shown here) and even that Hawksyard was sold out of the Dunton line and that the undermentioned Thomas was not of this line at all. | |||||||||||||||
