BIOGRAPHY
Robert Abell was born about 1605 in England, the second son of George Abell and Frances Cotton. He was among the early settlers of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and the first person with his surname to emigrate from England to the American colonies. He traveled from his home to New England as part of the first wave of a mass exodus of Puritans called the Great Migration.

This initial expedition was known as the Winthrop Fleet, which consisted of 11 ships carrying around 700 immigrants. In June 1630 he arrived in Boston, Massachusetts and on 19 October 1630 applied to be a freeman in the recently founded village of Weymouth. On 18 May 1631 he tooik the freeman's oath. According to Charles Henry Pope, author of _Pioneers of Massachusetts,_ 'all who came after 1650 found Massachusetts a reality, a single state, practically, although under two fraternal governments; all who came befolre that date helped essentially to make it.'

; Dear John ~ Thank you for your good post. The descent you have set forth for Jane (Lowe) Sewell is based on the
premise that Maud de Camville, wife of Sir Richard de Vernon, was the
mother of Richard's son and heir, William de Vernon. However, my
research indicates that Maud's entire inheritance went to her daughter,
Isabel de Vernon, wife of Sir Richard de Stafford, to the complete
exclusion of Isabel's brother, William de Vernon. As such, it seems
clear that Maud de Camville was the mother only of Isabel de Vernon,
and not of William de Vernon.

For further evidence that this is correct, I find that the tomb of
Isabel de Vernon's descendant, Sir John Stanley (died 1508), displays
various Stanley family quarterings, including Arderne impaling
Stafford, Pype, and Camville, but not Vernon [Reference: Earwaker, East Cheshire 1 (1877): 277-278]. This heraldic evidence suggests
that Isabel de Vernon, wife of Sir Richard de Stafford, was heiress of
her mother, Maud de Camville, but not of her father.

This information regarding Isabel de Vernon's parentage would be
another new addition to Complete Peerage, albeit indirectly. I
understand Isabel de Vernon's husband, Sir Richard de Stafford, was
summoned to Parliament from 1370, yet for some reason he was not
included in Complete Peerage.

; per Potter email: [quote] Isabel daughter of Michael de Harcla was wife of Richard de Vernon senior who was also known as Richard le Franceys. Richard was dead by 1329 when Isabel sued William de Vernon for a third part of two parts of two messuages and a moiety of Netherhaddon [_Staffordshire Historical Collections_, Vol.9, p.9]. Isabel was still living by 1342 when there is an interesting entry in the Register of John Kirkby, Bishop of Carlisle:

"It is good to give testimony in the business of the needy. At the time of writing, the noble matron Isabel de Vernon was sane and in perfect physical health, as could clearly be seen in her manor of Mauld's Meaburn, where she lived. These letters are written in case anyone might make an assertion to the contrary." [R.Storey (ed.), _The Register of John Kirkby, Bishop of Carlisle, 1332-1352,_ (Canterbury and York Society, 1993), p.41]

The eldest son of Richard and Isabel was another Richard. His first wife was Eleanor de Frenes, but then by Feb 1312/3 he was re-married to Matilda de Camville daughter of William Camville. I can identify three children, William, Isabel and Matilda, before Richard died in Feb 1322/3.

Upon the subsequent death of his grandfather, William inherited his grandfather's estates (or at least those which were not held in dower by his mother and grandmother). His wife was a Joan whose surname I have not yet identified. [_Staffordshire Historical Collections_, Vol.12, p.58]

His sister Isabel married Richard de Stafford as stated before in this thread, but she was therefore the daughter of Richard de Vernon and Matilda de Camville, and grandaughter of Richard de Vernon and Isabel de Harcla. Again no connection to the Vescy family.

Their other sister, Matilda, received a grant from her mother in 12 Edward III (1338/9) of £20 yearly from the rents of her tenement in Haunton, Staffordshire [BL, Harl MS. 2074, f.34]. I suspect that this Matilda may then have married William son of Hugh de Venables of Cheshire.

BL Harl MS 2077, f.37 gives summaries of the following two charters:

1/ Covenant of marriage that William son of Sir Hugh Venables should marry Maude the daughter of Maude Vernon and of Richard Vernon. Dated 16 Edward III

2/ Maud who was wife of Richard de Vernon grants to Maude her daughter wife of William de Venables and her heirs an annual rent of £20 silver from the lands and tenements which were of John de Cave in Hamtton. Dated 23 Edward III.

I suspect that Hamtton was actually a misreading by the original copier of Haunton. Haunton was part of the Camville land held by Matilda de Vernon (nee Camville) in the 1327 Lay Subsidy, and so looks like this Vernon/Venables marriage was actually of the Haddon Vernons rather than the Shipbrook Vernons. [end quote]⁵

; Dear Douglas, you have voiced a valid concern about the descent of the Vernons from
Maud de Camville, given the subsequent devolution of her inheritance.
However, a case can be made to support William de Vernon's maternity.
Firstly, in the Feodary of Tutbury, as reproduced in John Pym Yeatman's
Feudal History of the County of Derby vol.1 section 2, on page 495 we
find "Rich Vernon and Magister Edmund Stafford hold the manors of
Bromcote, Grendon, Shepeye, and Basturley [all in Leics.], for 3 fees."
Edmund Stafford, Bishop of Exeter (1344-1419) was the surviving
legitimate son and heir of Sir Richard Stafford, and Shepeye and
Grendon, at least, were certainly Camville lands; this would imply a
shared Camville descent. In the intricate (but not entirely accurate)
pedigree at page 982* of Nichols's Leicester vol.3 part 2 we have Sir
Richard de Stafford "of Clifton in part" and his son Bishop Edmund
"lord of Clifton by exchange with Richard Vernon and guardians". This
may give a clue- Shaw's Staffordshire vol.1 page 404 gives as an
evidence for the pedigree a "deed of bp.Edm.Staff.cop. in Huntb[ach]
No.2", which evidently dates from 1402-3 and involves Richard de
Vernon, then a minor, son of the late Richard de Vernon of Harleston kt
and his wife Joanna, then living. (If anybody can locate the text of
this deed, it should settle the matter.) Although Richard de Vernon
(dead 1323) was betrothed while a minor to Eleanor, daughter of Giles
de Fenes, she would not appear to be a candidate for William's mother,
as she was dead by 1302 (see, for instance, VCH Bucks, sub Pitchcott)
and William is described as being 10 years old at his father's
inquisition in 1323 (CIPM Edw.II, vi.238). Richard was married to Maud
by 1313, as there is an enfeoffment of "Richard son of Richard de
Vernon and Maud his wife" dated Sunday after the Purification, 6 Edw.II
(HMC Rutland, iv.28).
As for the heraldry, it is significant that the arms of Pype are
mentioned, as although the manor of Pipe was held by the Staffords and
Stanleys, there was no blood succession. The new ODNB describes how
Richard, Lord Stafford of Clifton acquired this manor at the expense of
the blood heir, his mother Margaret (nee Bassett) having remarried to
Sir Thomas Pipe. Stafford's second wife Maud Stafford also brought
claims to the Pipe lands; but again, she was not the mother of his
posterity. So it seems that the shields that Earwaker records represent
the acquisition of lands, by whatever means, by the ancestors of John
Stanley (query whether he was a knight, although his father -also John-
certainly was one). Clifton and other Camville lands (in part?) may
have been a marriage portion, later enhanced by exchange; the arms of
Camville also appear among those of other heiresses on the memorial
brass to Sir William Vernon (d.1467) at Tong, Shropshire, and on all
later such Vernon heraldry.⁹

      ; I'm afraid this Juliana de Vescy should really be jettisoned from genealogies- she seems to first appear at the top (ie unreliable) end of a visitation, and was given extra life by Burke's et al. for a few centuries; but she can't have been the child of those parents, or her descendants would have inherited the Vesci lands that instead passed to the Aton family. The latest (and final paper) edition of Burke's peerage (2003) has a much improved Vernon pedigree, and Juliana no longer appears. Her place is (correctly) taken by Isabel, daughter of Michael de Harcla (Hartcla, Harclay) (sheriff of Cumberland 1285-98, dead by 1309, married Joan dau William Fitzjohn -ODNB), and sister of Andrew, (briefly) Earl of Carlisle.³

(d) In 1318, after she had borne him several children, the manor of Irnham was settled upon him and her for their lives (Cal. Patent Rolls, 1317-1321, p. 244). Many years after this it was found that they were related in the third and fourth degrees of consanguinity. They were able to obtain from the Pope, however, through the Archbishop of York, a special dispensation legitimising their children (Cal. Papal Letters, vol ii, p. 368).
