Overview

Who was Frances Trevor Barkley’s paternal grandfather? Her father was Rev. Dr John Trevor DD 1740-1794 but who was his father?

See the section below on the Pall Mall Gazette which contains an article in its 25 March 1884 edition about the Hampden title and a few days later on 29th March a letter from James Trevor (1819-1888) a grandson of the Rev. Dr John Trevor. James was the eldest son of Rev. Dr John Trevor's eldest surviving son, John William Trevor (1774-1848). In that letter, JamesTrevor maintained that the 1^st Viscount Hampden (1706-1783) had a first marriage in Fleet Prison all details of which were subsequently destroyed. Rev. Dr John Trevor DD he said was the product of that marriage.

From this Wikipedia article, it seems that such marriages were common and took place in or within the environs of Fleet Prison in order to avoid having to fulfill requirements of the law. What is not clear is (a) the effect of such a marriage on the line of succession, (b) whether in this instance, it actually took place and (c) if it did, why it was chosen by the parties as their route to marriage.

James Trevor's letter asserted that £20,000 which he said was "hush money" had been deposited with Westminster School. The school has recently (see below) confirmed that £20,000 was indeed deposited but the reason why they received the money is not known to them at this time. It was the equivalent of over £1m in today's money and more than enough to pay for the education of the then existing male Trevors. The school also confirmed that the 1st Viscount Hampden, Rev. Dr John Trevor (Frances Barkley's father) and the 1st Viscount's sons, Thomas and John who became the 2nd and 3rd Viscounts, were all educated there. Recently, two descendents separately wrote to Westminster School and the substance of the reply from the archivist is shown below

John William Trevor was Frances Barkley's half brother as his mother was the Rev. Dr John Trevor's second wife.

If James Trevor's assertion is correct, then the Hampden title would not have become extinct when the 3rd Viscount died but have continued to John William Trevor and then James Trevor. (Followed by Ted, who features below and his male successors).

Another source of information is a paper headed "Doctor Trevor (A Phenomenon). A Record for the Family, with observations" written by Henry Edward Trevor in April 1913. He was a barrister and a great grandson of Rev Dr John Trevor and his 2nd wife, Harriet Smith. Unfortunately all that has been traced is six, some faint, pages which are linked here. Some of it probably adds to what we have from other sources, some contradicts or corrects.

A Memorandum written by Frances Trevor Barkley headed “Strictly private unless wanted by him. Memorandum for the perusal of J.C. Barkley alone” speaks of unspecified shameful facts which may, at least in part, have been connected. It is in full in its own section Frances’ “Memorandum for the perusal of J C Barkley alone” below. Rev. J.C.Barkley was Frances's eldest son.

That Rev. John Trevor was the 1^st Viscount’s son is asserted as a fact by Ada Tyler in her Notebook. Also,the Remarkable World quotes Constance Lady Parker of Waddington, a g-granddaughter of Frances Barkley as writing “The Rev. John Trevor was the son of Lord Hampden by a first marriage. The proofs of this marriage which took place at the Fleet Prison were in the possession of his daughter Harriot Cook. She destroyed them for the sake of her son, receiving for them large hush moneys from her uncle, who succeeded to the title instead of her father”. Did Ada and Constance base their beliefs on James Trevor's Pall Mall Gazette letter or did they have other evidence - including of course, an interpretation of Frances' private memorandum?

Frances’ memorandum can be read as supporting this view but it doesn’t spell it out. It maintains that her sister Harriot was guilty of possibly criminal deeds and that they related to Lord Hampden but the story told is quite complex and incomplete.

So what sort of man was the 1st Viscount? Not someone whom an ancestor can be "proud without any reserve" according to H E Trevor, himself an ancestor writing in 1913. More formally from a reliable source, "Fellow, All Souls Coll. 20 Nov 1725 ; a clerk, Secretary of State’s Office Nov 1729 – c.1733 ; Secretary to Legation, The Hague 1734-9, Envoy Extraordinary there 1739, Minister Plenipotentiary 24 Jun 1741 – Nov 1746 ; contested Oxford University at by-election Feb 1736/7 ; a Commissioner of the Revenue (I) 1750 ; assumed additional surname of Hampden 22 Feb 1754, on inheriting estates of his distant kinsman John Hampden, Great Hampden, Buckinghamshire; joint Postmaster-General 2 Jun 1759 – 19 Jul 1765".

Other evidence is finding Hampden as the middle name of several descendants such as-

Thomas Hampden Mullens, c1807-1871 (9^th generation) son of Jane Rebecca Mullens nee Trevor 6.10.1766-19.2.1847. Jane was the sister of Frances and daughter of Rev. John Trevor DD. Thus Thomas Hampden Mullens was one of the putative great grandchildren of the 1st Viscount Hampden.

James Hampden Cook (10^th generation), granddaughter of Harriot Cook, Frances Barkley nee Trevor’s sister.

Ruth Hampden Trevor (11^th generation), great great granddaughter of Charles Trevor, one of the sons of the Rev. John Trevor’s 2^nd wife. Ruth, of course, was the name of the daughter of John Hampden, the patriot. She married Sir John Trevor 1626-1672 and they were grandparents of the 1^st Viscount Hampden, Frances’s putative grandfather.

Other evidence probably exists and may be recorded here as it is found, but in the meantime, what is below provides the information we have, including the Trevor family trees and a summary Timeline of some of the relevant dates. Supplementing the Trevor trees is the separate Cromwell, Hampden, Trevor, Buckinghamshire & Other Familes page.

6.3. Robert Hampden-Trevor, 1706-1783. Changed his name from Trevor to Hampden in order to inherit the estates of his great-grandfather John Hampden. Later created 1st Viscount Hampden. He was the 1st son of Thomas Trevor's 2nd marriage. He married 1743 Constantia de Huybert d. 1761 daughter of Lord Van Kruyningen. It is asserted as a fact in a letter to the Pall Mall Gazette of 29 March 1884 that he had a previous marriage in Fleet Prison with all details destroyed. That letter, an earlier piece in the paper headed "Statement concerning Lord Randolph Churchill's lineage has been communicated to us by one of the highest heraldic authorities in the United Kingdom" and a document headed "Strictly private unless wanted by him. Memorandum for the perusal of J.C. Barkley alone" from the Black book are elsewhere on this page

As neither had issue, the titles Hampden and Trevor became extinct. In the Black Book, Frances makes several references to the Hon. John Trevor and one assumes that this is him as until shortly before his death, he would have been the Hon..

At this point, there were said to be no heirs to the Trevor and Hampden titles and no directly male descendants.

WHO WAS THE FATHER OF 7.REV. DR JOHN TREVOR (1740-1794) (BELOW)? Was it 6.3. Robert Hampden-Trevor, 1^st Viscount Hampden 1706-1783 above? In the Black Book, Frances says that the marriage of her father was opposed by his guardian and mother. Isabel Bond's Ancestral Tablet, says "Robert Hampden-Trevor's wife's name unknown, it was a Fleet Prison marriage. The certificate was destroyed subsequently apparently by her granddaughter". The letter in the Pall Mall Gazette said that there were 2 children following the Fleet prison marriage, being John and a brother who died a minor. Both said to have been educated at Westminster though the archives at the school only have a record of John having attended.

Blue font text shows where if (a) Rev John Trevor was the son of the 1st Viscount and eligible to succeed (b) the later descendants are correct and (c) we have not omitted any descendants who might have had a prior claim, the title would have gone.

7. Rev Dr John Trevor DD 13.8.1740-28.1.1794, Rector of Otterhampton, later moved to Hamburg and then Ostend. According to this British History Online link, he was rector from 1771-1794 ie until his death though recorded as being abroad in 1785.

m1 Jane Beacher 1736-1771. The marriage was in the spring of 1759 according to the Black Book. Westminster School records show the date of marriage at 1769 according to two replies to separate recent enquiries. That does not look consistent with their daughters being born in 1760, 1762, 1766 and 1769. However, he was not ordained until 1771. She was the mother of Harriot James, Catherine Sophia Elizabeth, Jane Rebecca, Elizabeth and Frances (twins). Jane Beacher was almost certainly the daughter of George Beacher 1693-1763 and his wife Elizabeth nee Jackson. His parents were Edward Beacher and Joyce. As well as Jane, they had children George, Sophia bpt 1739, Elizabeth bpt 1743. Margaret and ?Henrietta.

George Beacher d. 1764, parish of St Giles, London 1735, Gray’s Inn Lane 1736, Holborn Hill 1739-1741, parish of St Martin-in-the-Fields, probably at the Bible and Crown, Drury Lane, facing Long Acre 1743. Copper plate printer.

George Beacher (flourished 1735-43) issued a remarkable trade card, made by Jacob Bonneau, showing copperplate prints being run off a press for inspection, with a print on the wall which may represent King George II (Heal coll. 99.25). The British Museum collection database describes the print as follows: ‘Trade card of George Beacher… showing his workshop with a man turning the wheel of a press while a client examines a freshly printed broadside watched by an older man, presumably Beacher himself. Prints hang from strings above the press and an engraved portrait is attached to the wall; in the foreground are bales of paper labelled, "Royal", "Imperial" and "Atlas"; to the left, the inking table beneath a window; in the background beyond an open door, is a man at the top of a staircase with another bale of paper on his head.’ Beacher promoted his services: ‘Carefully Prints all manner of Copper Plates For Printsellers Booksellers Stationers &c Tickets for Balls, Plays, Funerals.’ The British Museum also owns an example of a print made by Beacher on the Thames during the 1739-40 Frost Fair when the Thames was frozen over.

George Beacher married Elizabeth Jackson in 1735, when he was described as a printer of the parish of St Giles (Non-conformist BMD). They had five or six children, Jane in 1736 when living in Gray’s Inn Lane, Sophia in 1739 and George in 1741 when in Holborn Hill, and Elizabeth christened at St Martin-in-the-Fields in 1743, probably when they were living at the Bible and Crown, Drury Lane. Also Margaret b1748. His Will also makes provision for a Henrietta

m2 c1773 Harriet or Harriot Smith daughter of Samuel Smith 1719-1795 the Bridgwater Collector of Customs and brother of Horace? The black book says "Dr Trevor’s second wife was _ Smith, sister of Horace and [gap] authors of “Rejected Addresses” There is a faint ? after “Smith”. The gap would have been filled in by "James" who was Horace's brother who was co-author of "Rejected Addresses". Horace (born Horatio) Smith lived 1779-1849 and had many siblings but it seems unlikely that a sister would have been of an age to marry in 1773.

Harriet's brother is thought to have been Robert Smith 1747- 1832, the father of James, Horatio and Maria, all part of the London literary scene in the first half of the nineteenth century. She possibly married James George in Bridgwater in 1796. The marriage record states that 'Harriet Trever' is a widow and John Trevor died in 1794.

Frances is quoted in the Remarkable World as saying. "My father married a 2^nd wife, Miss Hariot Smith of Bridgewater, he having by my Mother living at that time, 4 daughters, Harriot James, now Mrs Cook, Jane Rebecca, now Mrs Mullens, My twin sister Elizabeth who died at Hambourght in the seventh yr and myself Frances, all the 3 survivors being widows. My Father had four by his 2^nd wife, John, Frederick, Charles and Henry, 3 of who are now living, married and have numerous families, excepting Fredc who is a Bachilor. …" In the Black Book, Frances says he was buried in the protestant burial ground created by him in Ostend. But according to The Remarkable World.. "Not even the place where he lies buried has been recorded" - confirming that not everything in the Black Book is in the Reminiscences quoted in the Remarkable World.

John Trevor became Chaplain to the 4th (and last) Earl of Deloraine in 1776. The 4th Earl was married to Frances Heath who died in a convent in France in 1782. From electricscotland.com "Henry, fourth and last earl of Deloraine, born 8^th February 1737, succeeded to the title when only three years old. Having by extravagance in his youth deeply involved his estate, he in middle age secured from the wreck of his fortune an annuity of one thousand pounds, on which he afterwards lived very privately. He died without issue in September 1807, when his titles became extinct".

Rev Dr John Trevor DD and his descendants

8.1. Harriot James Trevor 5.8.1760-16.9.1843, baptised 13.8.1760 at St Marylebone Church. Records of the same Church and the Black Book both say she was married to John Cook, a widower, on 27.10.1796. That would mean she was 36 when she married and had her two children shortly after. However, The Remarkable World (P23) says "..but Harriot, aged 20 at this time, was soon married to James Cook" ie in or soon after 1780. It makes no mention of a John Cook or a marriage in 1796. Could she have married twice with each husband having the surname Cook? Could they have been brothers? The Church records show her as a spinster when she married. In a section on births in the Black Book, Frances says "Harriot Trevor my sister was married in the year 1796 to John Cook by whom she had her sons both since dead, called Charles, the second, John Trevor who has left a son and two daughters who with his widow are residing with their grandfather Mr Smith, Persian interpreter to the Supreme Court in Calcutta". Harriot lived at 10 Wellington Terrace, St John's Wood, London.

9.6. William Lennox Mullens b. c1804-1851 (drowned in South China Sea). m 1828 Esther Black c1809-1878. A free mariner in merchant navy. An article in "The Post" probably a Sydney publication in 1924 at the time of his daughter Elizabeth's death describes his life and death -

"Mrs Weymouth’s father, William Lennox Waymouth [sic], began his career as a cadet in the old East India Company’s service. Fond of travel and adventure, he later on acquired a ship of his own in which he sailed the world over, trading and exploring. On his last voyage he went of New Zealand, and he was so greatly struck with the beauty of the colony and its prospects, that he invested largely in land there, and wrote home to his wife in London telling her that he was going to bring his family to settle out in the new and beautiful country and he asked her to put in hand preparations for the voyage.

On his way back, as a last deal, he took a cargo of coolies from one port in China to another. A mutiny occurred among them and the unfortunate captain, separated from his men, who adored him and whom he forbade to try to save him, was stabbed and thrown into the sea.

The coolies then destroyed all his papers. About the same time a fire occurred in the Registration Offices in New Zealand and all traces of the land he had bought was lost and was never found.

Fate evidently destined little Elizabeth Mullens then eight years old to go out to the colony her father had chosen for her. She met her future husband in the Bermudas and married him in Auckland in 1870. For 16 years Mrs Waymouth lived in New Zealand and then she returned to England for the sake of the education of her daughter and her three youngest sons. She went n New Zealand again in 1908. Since then her home has been principally in London. Mrs Waymouth’s eldest son is in business in Auckland, her second son is in Melbourne and the youngest is an engineer on the staff of the Buenos Aires Western Railway Company. Mr Claude Waymouth, the third son, who was out in China, died at Shanghai in 1913 and his death was a great grief to his mother, who subsequently had a long illness. From this she made a wonderful recovery and lived a fairly energetic life. Mentally she showed none of the infirmities of age, and was transacting business in the city a week before she was taken ill. Miss Weymouth was with her mother at the last. It is interesting to note, by the way, that Mr W L Mullens was a descendant, on this mother’s side of John Hamden, the patriot".

William like his father became a merchant seaman. However, his Master’s certificate was withdrawn in 1869 on grounds of insanity and he was admitted to the Royal Liverpool Asylum. He was reinstated as a Master in 1871 but it was again withdrawn for the same reason and in 1876 he was locked up in Colney Hatch Asylum from which he escaped having made a skeleton key which he then sent back to the asylum. Later, while staying in a home for destitute sailors he wrote letters to the Assistant Secretary, Marine Dept of the Board of Trade, threatening to kill him. An account of his trial in 1879 is linked here. He was found guilty but “Recommended to mercy – Judgment Respited”. It was some 13 years later that he married Olive who was half his age, following which they had two children. Olive died in 1918 following which William was admitted to the Northumberland Street Workhouse from which he discharged himself, aged 80.

Benjamin Disraeli Connection

The connection of the Fenwick and therefore Perkins family with the prime minister, Benjamin Disraeli, arises from Rev. John Trevor DD (1740-1794)’s 2^nd marriage. The Fenwicks being descended from the 1^st marriage are not therefore blood relations.

Below are two trees showing two interconnected relationships. Note that the prime ministers’ grandfather who is shown below was also Benjamin Disraeli. The name Disraeli is used throughout although it was originally D’Israeli and was changed by the prime minister to Disraeli with the new name adopted by his siblings.

Frances’ “Memorandum for the perusal of J C Barkley alone”

What follows is from the Black Book in which Ada Tyler transcribed Frances words from a document she (Ada) had evidently been lent. It had been written by Frances from memory in later life. There may then have been errors in the transcription and as can be seen from the question marks etc Ada’s writing cannot always be followed.

Strictly private unless wanted by him. Memorandum for the perusal of J.C. Barkley alone.

The papers contained in this Bag relate entirely to John Cook and his then unfortunate mother who was driven to despair by the bad conduct of her unprincipled and ungrateful son. Her only child who led her to adopt a line of conduct totally unwarrantable and disgraceful and under any other circumstances would have been highly criminal but she was in a cruel dilemma but what will not a mother do to save an only child from the penalty of the law he had outraged. She did what she could to bring him up and really at one time had brought him to the knowledge of the Honourable John Trevor who to my certain knowledge offered him a commission in a marching regiment then on foreign service. There would have been great difficulty at that time in getting him fitted out and he had no ambition to be a soldier - that dropped - then your dear father undertook to get him out in an East Indian Ship as Midshipman - this was in 1816 and from that moment he got entangled in his worthless youth's affairs. He was then about 16 and fancied at that time he liked the sea although 12 months before that he and his mother refused an offer of Captain Sondi? to receive him as an apprentice on board a ship of his in the Wale trade. I believe with a promise of providing for him.

But his mother residing in Chelsea he got ? on the river and fancied he should then like the sea but nothing but an East India ship would do. Mullens was consulted, how far he would assist and I think offered as much as could be expected by arranging to take Mrs. Cook to live in his family and fare as they did, providing she could be freed of her debts, she being dreadfully involved and John Cook provided for, was never to look on Elsinore as his home - alleging as he had 6 lads to bring up - he could not take upon himself a 7th who besides was a very loose character whereas his boys were quiet and well conducted. This proposition was caught at by Mrs Cook and no stone left unturned to bring it about. Every zz was set to work, Miss Fielding, Mr John Trevor, Lord Hampden, Captain Fielding then in the Navy, they wrote, coaxed and flattered the victim ? was determined to sacrifice representing him to all those grandees as a ? of fortune having recently inherited a large fortune left by his cousin Mr. Forbes, which you know turned out but a trifle after all and he had plenty of legitimate calls upon him but still it was urged - the disgrace of allowing my sister to go to gaol, etc …to ? poor Papa went for it and he got her liberated of all her debts by taking advantage of an Act of Insolvency which cost him nearly £100. Then came the wretched lad, not a farthing to be gathered from any source but the ? friend your father who after exerting every vein got him to be a midshipman on board the Sovereign of E.I.S.C. with the understanding that he was to remain in Bengal which he could easily have managed. This cost £50 more for outfit. Away he went and Mrs. C. was provided with apparel was to make an appearance equal (to her position) by ? and a sum settled upon her for pocket money yearly. Mullens provided her a passage and all seemed smooth, she went free of debt and her letters bear testimony of the affectionate reception etc etc.

This went on for 2 years when John Cook returned puffed up and more unmanageable than ever - Miss Fielding offered him an asylum your father was again called on to help him. But no - he would have no more sea - we had to go to Bath and had to leave him with Jane and Mr. Perkins, they could do nothing with him ? ? him in the face. Miss Fielding was obliged to discharge for what I am ashamed to mention, and there he remained the whole winter of 1817 when I went up to town to dear Jane for her confinement I ? him out and tried all manner of means to reclaim him, paid his lodgings etc etc. He went from bad to worse, refused to write to his mother; squandered his wages and money and got out of the way whenever an Indian ship was in the river. At last in ? he went on a short voyage as 3rd mate in a small vessel in the Newfoundland trade - his mother however highly disapproved of him going out in anything but a regular EIC ship which was too expensive to be thought of and was outrageous at not hearing from her son believing he was prevented by us and that we were forcing him to the sea contrary to his wishes as he wrote declaring he would never follow that profession but that if he could go out to Bengal as a free mariner he had no objection to go but how was such a favour to be obtained? But by persistence he seems to have carried this point. Money was collected from Mr. Budgen ? Trevor who gave £30.00. Your dear father £50. The Honourable John Trevor £20 and I believe Miss Fielding some trifle. With these sums he was maintained and fitted out - and away he went - I never heard anything from him for a long time - I believe he was ? ? after he married he turned out a very clever linguist and through interest of his wife's father he got employment in the Court of Judicature being Persian interpreter - afterwards he got an appointment as overseer in a very large Indigo Plantation where he lived with his ? about ? miles from Calcutta. At the time he died he left a wife, two daughters and a son. One daughter died, the other married an officer in some naval department in the Arsenal and through his interest with Lord Aukland got the lad into the Bengal Navy as a midshipman on board one of the ? frigates that was engaged in China. This young man will do well if he lives as I heard from one of the Darby's of Hertford who went to Calcutta after the death of John Cook, that he had been well brought up and educated at the Government College - the girls were very well behaved and the one who died - very handsome - Mrs Cook, they say was legitimate daughter of the old man who was a great libertine and surrounded by bastards of every age, cast (his name is Smith). Mrs. Cook would not receive the mother and though she sent money for the girls to come to England. Their mother would not part from them - so they remained in India.

One died and another married as before said. I have been this particular about this family as life is so precarious in India that it is not impossible that you may have to do with them some day or other. There must be a little money somewhere which is ? Mrs Cook's property - I am far from building any expectations on it - but impossible things do happen sometimes.

I shall now resume the narrative but only briefly when John was gone your father refused to interfere any more in these concerns although urged to ? a variety of schemes proposed by Miss Fielding, who managed to get Mrs. Cook the post of Guardian to a Miss Boddington who was a nervous invalid. She lived with her for 6 or 7 years. Miss Boddington having recovered her health partly, but her father dying and leaving her a fortune of 6 or 800 a year she determined to remain with Mrs Cook whose kindness she really appreciated – at last her sisters coaxed her away to a larger house they had taken in ?shire. She however made Mrs. Cook very handsome presents and made her a present of all the house and furniture. This affair brought her to the notice of the medical men who attended this lady and Mrs. C. being well known in former days to Sir Henry Halford. He recommended ? - you know the rest. She took the house in Wellington Road which she afterwards purchased for £600 and added the wing which cost £200, walled in the garden which cost £40. ? on - all her furniture was old and shabby but it suited her purpose with respect to her property.

I can only guess whence it came, she may have saved a little from her boarders but not anything equal to the purchase of the house etc etc. I recollect her once taking out of her pocket book a paper which she told me with much mystery was the copy of the register of her birth in the Parish Church, Bloomsbury. My father lived in one of the streets leading out of Cavendish Square, St. Margaret's Street. I attached no consequence to it at the time but from dark hints let out from time to time by her I have since thought that she had succeeded in recovering a sum of money from a Life Insurance office probably made by my father. This is ? ? but it was shortly before she bought the house. About the same period I recollect a very curious ? taking place ? with Patty ? remember. She was staying at Aunt Budgen's where I also had been staying at Tottenham, when she proposed taking me to see Mrs Cook, that is to say to set me down at her door, but there came on such a pelting storm that she was obliged to alight. She put her servants and carriage under shelter in the midst of this hurricane a message came in haste to call Mrs Cook to the bedside of a dying man who had a secret to divulge which he wished to disclose. The rain having abated she started off and remained absent some time and on her return she was very much fussed and said it was an old steward or butler of Lord Hampden’s who she was sure could make disclosures of great consequence, but that her presence had so agitated him that he could not speak - she however procured a witness (her Landlord who lived next door) and went again in the evening and I had reason to think was successful but she did not let drop a word that could lead to any conclusion - the next day however she had an audience with the Hon. John Trevor also of the old man who died a day or two afterwards. I went back to Sunbury and did not hear a word more about the matter at that time but not very long afterwards I saw Lord Hampden’s death in the papers. I took occasion and went up to see Mrs Cook being curious to know if any provision was made for her – and after much mystery I was given to understand that a paper had been found in the handwriting of the late Lord Hampden which secured her an annuity upon certain conditions which should be made acquainted with at her death. It was on that occasion she took me up to her bedroom and showed me a packet of papers collected for me - tied with pink tape and addressed to me. "They will amuse you" she said "and let you into some family". It was these papers that I was so anxious to have from ? executors.

The Honble. John Trevor did not long enjoy the family honours - he died a short time after his brother without leaving any heirs. I ? the title is now extinct!

These particulars are no further interesting to us excepting there should be any enquiry into Mrs. Cook's property. I have no doubt that her income could not be less than £200 per annum, besides which she had money in the funds. I am certain she always went regularly to the Bank to receive her dividends although she employed a broker occasionally. She could not bear the least interference and in the last visit she paid me in Warwick Road May 1843 in speaking of the Mullens’ she said I am obliged to keep them all at arms length particularly Cecilia who is a busy body who tries to pry into my private concerns and she has had the impertinence to call in question the propriety of my living alone in so large a house and keeping only two maids and said I ought to let part of it and go into lodgings. This I ? by saying I was the best judge of my own means so no criticism. We are not so intimate as we were but I have no quarrel and we meet occasionally. I then asked her how she got on with James Forbes and his wife to which she replied A oh: they are very civil and ask me to their dinner parties etc but we have not been so sociable as we were before they went to Bengal. “How is that?” I said I thought his wife was a friend to your family there? Yes - she pretended so to me but she behaved very ill to the poor widow and slighted my grandson who went to call on her in his midshipman's uniform, but they took so little notice of him that he vowed he would never call again. So you see we were very intimate and confidential and although I made a point of destroying her letters which for the

A DESCENDANT OF JOHN HAMPDEN

The following statement concerning Lord Randolph Churchill's lineage has been communicated to us by one the highest heraldic authorities in the United Kingdom

"Now and then when an historic name is restored to the peerage the details of the descent become of public interest. Wisely has the ex-Speaker selected Hampden for his peerage title being a lineal descendant of John Hampden the patriot. His ancestress, Ruth Hampden was the 4th daughter and (in her issue) co-heiress of that celebrated man; and from the same progenetrix also descends, as will be seen by the subjoined summary, Lord Randolph Churchill, both he and the ex-Speaker being entitled to quarter the arms of Hampden. The Hampdens of Great Hampden, Bucks, ranked for centuries among the best allied families in England. The last male heir, John Hampden, of Great Hampden, died unmarried in 1754, and is described in his stately monument as "the Twenty-fourth Hereditary Lord of Great Hampden. His half-brother and predecessor, Richard Hampden MP, lost £100,000 by the South Sea Bubble, and well nigh ruined his race. What remained of the estate was bequeathed to the Hon. Robert Trevor, grandson of Ruth. Lady Trevor, "daughter of John Hampden slain in Chalgrove field" and he assumed, in consequence, the arms and surname of Hampden.

He succeeded 10 years after to his father's barony of Trevor, and was created in 1776 Viscount Hampden of Hampden, Bucks. His lordship was not only a diplomatist and politician, but also a distinguished classical scholar. His two sons inherited in succession the Viscounty of Hampden [SEE * BELOW], but both died without issue, as did his daughters, Maria Constantia, Countess of Suffolk, and the Hon. Anne Trevor Hampden. Their first cousin (the only child of the second Lord Trevor) was Elizabeth, Duchess of Marlborough, great-great-great-grandmother of Lord Randolph Churchill.

To revert to John Hampden, the Patriot, "who was slain in Chalgrove field." He was son and heir of William Hampden, of Great Hampden, Bucks MP by Elizabeth his wife, daughter of Sir Henry Cromwell, and Aunt of Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector, and was elected knight of his native shire of Bucks in 1639. By Elizabeth Symeon, his first wife, he had an only son to leave issue, namely -

Richard whose line became extinct in 1754 (as shown above), and six daughters, namely:-

I. ELIZABETH, wife of Sir Richard Knightley, K.B. of Fawsley: Issue extinct

II. ANNE, wife of Sir Robert Pye, MP of Farringdon, Berks and great-great-grandmother of Henry James Pye, Poet Laureate.

III. MARY, died unmarried in 1627

IV..RUTH, who married Sir John Trevor Principal Secretary of State temp, Charles II and had numerous descendants among whom are the Duke of Marlborough and Lord Randolph Churchill, as well as the late Speaker. One of the daughters and coheiresses of Ruth's grandson John Morley Trevor of Trevallyn, Denbighshire and Glynde, Sussex was Gertrude, the wife of the Hon. Charles Roper and mother of Gertrude, Baroness Dacre (in her own right) who was grandmother of the present Lord Dacre and of his brother Sir Henry Bouverie William Brand, GCB, of Glynde, ex-Speaker, recently created Viscount Hampden.

V. MARY, married 1st to Colonel Robert Hammond and 2nd to Sir John Hobart, Bart ancestor of The Earl of Buckinghamshire who has succeeded to the estate and assumed the surname of Hampden

VI. JUDITH, who died unmarried.

* What follows was not in the Pall Mall Gazette but in Ada Tyler's notebook at the place above, as if it were.

"(he married twice first a "Fleet Prison" marriage - certificate destroyed by his grand daughter H. Cook) and secondly in 1743, Constantia daughter of Peter Anthony de Huybert, Lord of Van Kruyningen in Zealand who died June 1761 had issue Thomas married Catherine Graeme. John married Harriot daughter of Dr Burton of Christchurch - osp. Maria Constantia married Henry Earl of Suffolk by whom she left a daughter. Richard DD, Bishop of Durham unmarried. Edward died young. The Hon. Trevor Hampden".

Letter in Pall Mall Gazette of 29.3.1884 signed James Trevor, Nether Stowey, Somerset

“I am much interested in your account of the Trevor Hampden family. The Lord Trevor who was created Viscount Hampden in 1776 was twice married, and by his first wife had 2 sons, the elder of whom was my grandfather, John Trevor D.D. who was educated at Westminster School and was rector of Otterhampton, Somerset. His brother was also at Westminster and died a minor. The first marriage of this Viscount Hampden was solemnized in the Fleet prison, but all proof of it was destroyed and so my father and mother have been unable to prove their claim to the title. £20,000 was deposited by somebody with the Head Master of Westminster School in trust for my grandfather and his brother and an aunt of mine, who has been dead nearly 50 years knew all the facts and was (it was generally believed) well supplied with hush money,”

Substance of recent emails sent by the Westminster School archivist about the "Hush Money"

John Trevor features in our Record of Old Westminsters and I have copied his entry below:

Daniel Burton DD, Canon of Christ Church, Oxford, and Rector of Slapton, Bucks. ; d. 9 Sep 1824. DNB.

William Markham, later Archbishop of York was Head Master during John’s time at the school. It is possible that money was deposited with Markham for the boy(s) education and up-keep whilst at the school. However, I am rather sceptical that an unknown individual would have deposited such a large sum with the Head Master (several million in today’s money) expecting him to take long term responsibility for the boys. The cost for board at the school and tuition for the standard 5 years would have been in the region of £400 so £20,000, even for two pupils, would have been quite excessive. You must bear in mind that the letter printed in the Pall Mall Gazette was written over 100 years after the said events and contains few verifiable details. ...

I would be interested to hear if you could uncover more about the story as it is an interesting one. We are always keen to add names to our Record of Old Westminsters if there is sufficient evidence that they did attend the school so if you find out more about John’s unfortunate brother do please let me know. The school’s records from that time are limited – we have some very basic pupil lists which often just give the name of pupils enrolled in the school at a particular date.

Uncle Ted

What follows is said to have been written by the husband of the niece of Ted Trevor

“Uncle Ted Trevor was my wife's uncle and had an old established (150 years) lawyer’s practice at Bridgewater. His sister at 19 married a parson who died young leaving his wife with a quiver full, 3 boys and 5 girls. The family moved to near Uncle Ted so that he could advise his sister. He had the purse strings and was executor, trustee etc. Ted was town clerk at Bridgewater, and ran an old fashioned family lawyers practice. Colonel Edward Trevor before the 1st world war (Colonel of the Volunteers) was a greatly respected citizen of Bridgewater, he ruled the Magistrates for 50 years telling them what to do and the sentences to give, showing no mercy to the wrongdoer. He had a loud resonant voice and gave the impression of righteous wrath. He was tall, thin and had a commanding presence

Ted attended funerals and weddings and always made a speech, he was a born orator, his theme being the straight and narrow path. There was one peculiar thing about Ted, he could never look you in the face. I know this is supposed to be the common trait of the villain, but it was literally true with Ted. He was very proud of his family and could produce a long line of ancestors. He told us he ought to have been Viscount Hampden, apparently his forbears were married in the Fleet Prison and no record of their marriage existed. This letter appeared in the Bridgewater Mercury on April 2nd 1884. The Trevor Hampden Family.

The James Trevor, the writer of this letter was Uncle Ted's father".

Another reference to Ted says "I have already described the Trevor Family with out Uncle Ted ending his days in prison" - but that part of the story is missing. The Memoirs of William Withycombe as appears on the internet and from which the above is taken, is here.
