Notes for Robert Featherstonhaugh:
FETHERSTONHALGH of STANHOPE

We will begin with the proprietors of this house before the Fetherstons succeeded to its property. The first on record is William de Monte who lived in the time of King Stephen sometime between 1135 & 1154. He is called in Latin “de monte”, of the mountain because his mansion or castle was on a hill called Craig hill a little out of the town of Stanhope in the county of Durham. The English of his name in those days, was, no doubt William o’ th’ Crag. Hutchinson visited this mansion towards the end of the last century and thus describes it in his history of Durham, as it was then.

Within a little distance of the town of Stanhope, towards the west is a large ancient building, called Stanhope Hall situated on an eminence and guarded with a curtain wall to which you ascend by a large flight of many steps. This is one of the possessions of the Earl of Carlisle. It was the ancient family house of the Fetherstonhaughs, the last male of which race fell in the (wars) field in the civil wars, soon after which the estate was sold. There is a considerable demesne appertaining to this house in which are valuable lead mines.

1. The above William de Monte was succeeded by

2. Robert de Stanhope who was succeeded by

3. Robert of the same name to whom succeeded

4. Alexander de Stanhope. He married Lassells daughter Agnes and had an only daughter and heiress who married Robert Fetherstonhaugh of the Fetherstonhaughs of Northumberland who brought his name & succession to the Crag of Stanhope. He was brother to Alexander Fetherstonhaugh, who, as we have seen in the pedigree of the eldest branch the family made a settlement of his property before going abroad to the wars in 1374. And on whom and on his wife and son the same year was settled the entail of ffetherstonhaugh. He had an uncle Peter, son of Thomas and Mariotta from whom Peter or Perkin the Perkinsons are descended.

5. This Robert who was the first Fetherstonhalgh of Stanhope died in 1375 and was succeeded by

6. William ffetherstonhalgh who married the daughter and heiress of Lancaster of Sockbridge of Kendal in Westmoreland and was succeeded by

7. Alexander Fetherstonhalgh whose wife’s name was Margaret. He had a son Thomas who was succeeded to the property and title of the family. In the year 1434 a deed of Indenture was signed by this Thomas ffedderstonhaugh, son of Alexander ffedderstonhaugh, by Alexander ffedderstonhaugh and by Mark Whitfield of Whitfield. By this deed it was stipulated that the aforesaid Thomas and Alice Whitfield, daughter of the aforesaid Mark, were to be married. The above marriage took place as agreed upon.

8. Thomas ffederstonhaugh son of the above Alexander was next in succession. His wife has already been mentioned. To him succeed his son

9. Alexander ffetherstonhalgh. He married Cicely, daughter of Richard Duckett of Greenrigg in Westmoreland. To him succeeded

10. Richard ffetherstonhalgh who married Ann, Daughter of Robert Hedworth of Haverton, county Durham. After him came

11. John Fetherstonhalgh. This John married a daughter of Nicholas Ridley of Willimoteswick, Knight. The reader will remember that about this time there was a deadly feud existing between this family of Ridley and the Fetherstonhaughs of Fetherstonhaugh. By this daughter of Ridley he had a son Roland, who being at Fetherstonhaugh, and being only 13 years old, was killed, it is said, by a fall from a horse, “occisus fuit a lergo equi”. This Richard is entirely omitted in the pedigree given in to the Herald at the visitation of 1575. For what reason I cannot tell; he also omits to mention Michael, who in (that other) pedigrees, is given as the next possessor or heir of the estate. We, however, shall now insert him as

12. Michael Fetherstonhaugh, who married Ann, daughter of Thomas Trollop of Thornly. This family of Trollop was famous afterwards for its staunch adherence to the Catholic faith (Challonor’s mem:). Whether this Michael had any children we are unable to say. He was succeeded by

13. John Fetherstonhalgh Esq. Whether he was the son of his predecessor Michael is not stated. This John was possessor of Stanhope Hall at the visitation of 1575. He married Margaret daughter of Sir Antony Radcliff of Blanchland. In the pedigree he gave in to the Herald, he merely mentions one ascent above himself, namely John Fetherstonhalgh and his wife, sister to Sir Nicolas Ridley. This John was still living at the next visitation in 1615. In 1605 he purchased the manor of Burnetoft from Sir Bertram Bulmer. To him at last succeeded his eldest son

14. Ralph Fetherstonhaugh of Stanhope Hall Esq: At the visitation of 1615, before his father’s death, he is mentioned as having a son and heir named John, by his wife Jane, daughter of Appleyard of Burtwick Garth in Holderness- also five daughters Jane, Dorothy, Elizabeth, Mary and Helen. The first of these daughters, - Jane, as has been seen in the pedigree of the eldest branch, married Albany Fetherstonhaugh of Fetherstonhaugh and had an only child Abigail the last of that house. This Ralph had afterwards a second son Ralph, for whom when he should come of age, he settled in trustees, the manor of Burnetoft. In 1652, July 14, the remaining trustee of the Burnetoft estate gave it over to this second son then named as Ralph Fetherstonhaugh Esq: of North Auckland. This Ralph conveyed it to William Pennyman of Grays Inn, who almost immediately conveyed it to the Salvins. The Salvins have it now.

15. John Fetherstonhalgh of Stanhope Hall succeed his father. He married Ann daughter of Sir James Clavering, Baronet, and by her had a son named Thomas. This Thomas died in 1684. Soon after came the Civil war between Charles I and the Parliament, at which, says Hutchinson, the last male of this house fell in the field, and the estate was afterwards sold. The family however, was not extinct. Several of them are mentioned among the gentry of the county after the Restoration, and have no doubt descendants still in existence. But, whether they can trace their descent down in a direct line I am unable to say. I have seen no pedigree in which this has been done...
