Notes for [----?----] DE CURWEN:
[The writer's twenty-fourth great-grandmother.]
Fiona Mountain, the author, has written in her Web site of Workington Hall and the Curwen family:
"Workington Hall in Cumbria is the ancestral home of the Curwens . . . The site of Workington Hall on the banks of the Solway has been occupied since the 13th century. In 1568, when Mary Queen of Scots fled across the Solway after the defeat of her supporters at Langside she sought refuge at Workington before her nineteen years of captivity which ended in her execution. The Hall was left deserted in 1929 and the impressive ruins which still remain are of an 18th century mansion, containing the remains of a grand Tudor Hall and the original fortress of the 14th and 15th century. . . The Curwen lineage is an ancient and noble one which can be traced back to pre-Norman times. Curwens represented their county in Parliament for 18 terms from 1371 onwards. They held the posts of Knights of the Shire and High Sheriffs who played a major part in the bloody border wars."[a]
In her novel, ISABELLA, Fiona Mountain "tells for the first time, the true and haunting love story behind the mutiny on the Bounty".[a] The Curwens were of the same family as Fletcher Christian of MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY fame. Fletcher's first cousin, John Christian, was made the guardian of their first cousin, Isabella Curwen, who was thirteen when her father died. Isabella, born 2 October 1765, was the only child of Henry Curwen of Workington Hall, and inherited his entire estates. John Christian later married Isabella and took the name and arms of Curwen, subsequently being known as John Christian Curwen. John achieved prominence as a Whig Member of Parliament, and was a leader in the fields of social welfare and agriculture.[a]

Notes for ADAM DE RADCLYFFE:
[The writer's twenty-fourth great grandfather.]
Adam, the eldest son and heir, married a kinswoman, the daughter of Alan de Curwen of Camerton, near Workington in what is now County Cumbria. Alan was of the line of the Lords of Workington. The marriage united the lines of Gilbert and Ketel, sons of Ælftred de Taillebois. Adam descended from Ælftred through Ælftred's son Gilbert de Taillebois, and Adam's wife descended from Ælftred through Gilbert's brother, Ælftred 's son Ketel de Taillebois. Adam and his wife thus were fourth cousins once removed.
The Curwen family, which descended from Gospatric, Earl of Northumberland, intermarried with the Barons of Kendal and Lords of Lancaster. Adam, frequently mentioned in contemporary records, acted many times as surety in various cases, and was a juror on an inquisition into the work and duties of the Great Serjeant. In 1225 King HENRY III ordered that Adam de Radclyffe's woods and moor of Oswaldtwistle be "disafforested", that is, cleared of hunting restrictions, which was a mark of royal favour. Adam obtained a judgment in 1246 against his cousin Adam, son of Alexander de Radclyffe in connection with mining rights on common pasture land at Radclyffe. At the Lancaster Assizes Court in 1248 Adam was a member of the jury, and also one of twelve who paid a fine of 40s. for trespassing.[a]
