Richard was born around 1540,
son of John Dackombe of Horton. In 1567, he
married Alice Monntier who had inherited land at Motcombe from her
father. Richard and Alice settled in
Motcombe where they had at least seven children who survived childhood, three
boys and four girls. |

Richard was married about 1567, so a birth date around 1540 is expected
Two
separate wills (see below [d] and [e]) and the 1623 visitation of Dorset show
that Richard Dackombe of Motcombe had a brother Francis of Hogford; the wills
are those of two other brothers: Henry and Robert. A deposition of 1580 (see [b] below) shows that Frances was born
around 1550 in agreement with the expected birth date of Richard.
Witnesses
in a case heard in the court of the Duchy of Lancaster in 1572 (see [a] below)
concerning a tenement called Hogford testify that Francis Dackombe was the son
of John Dackum gent deceased who served as a petty captain under Sir John
Rogers in the wars of King Edward VI against the rebels in the west. In consideration of this he secured the
reversion of the copyhold of Hogford for his son Francis.
Thus the
father of Francis, and hence also of his brother Richard, was John, a “petty
captain”
The 1623
visitation of Dorset states that the father of both Francis and Richard was
“…Dackomb of Horton, Lieutenant Deputy of Dorsetshire, temp. Ed. 6”
The source
of information for this visitation was Sir John Dackombe’s son, and he seems to
have exaggerated the rank of the petty captain to Lieutenant Deputy of
Dorsetshire, for which I have found no evidence. However, the two sources agree about the date during which he
held rank (Edward 6 1547‑1553) and this is also around the period when
John and Francis were probably born.
Horton is some 10 miles from Bryanston, the seat of Sir John Rogers.
There is
independent evidence that Dackombe of Horton at this time was named John (see John Dackombe-13),
and it can be concluded that Richard was the son of John Dackombe of Horton,
probably born around 1540.
John Dackombe-11 was born c1570, eldest son of Richard & Alice Dackombe of Motcombe. A case in the court of Chancery (C3/55/42 see below [c]) concerning a dispute over land in Motcombe, dated 1571, states that Alice Monntier, daughter of William Monntier, married Richard Dackham “about 4 years ago”.
Thus Richard Dackombe married Alice Monntier about 1567, a date which accords well with the birth date of John-11 their eldest son about 1570
The registers of Motcombe have not survived before 1675 and no record has been found of this marriage.
No baptismal records of the children of Richard and Alice are known. However the 1617/18 will of their son John-11 (brief extract [g] below; full version in notes to John-11) mentions his two brothers William and Nicholas in that order, and four sisters: PENNEY, YONGE, Dorothy ESTMONT, and DIRDOE
The will of Robert Dackombe ( see [d] below) signed in 1600
and proved in 1606 makes bequests to his brother Richard and his wife Alice and
to their eldest son John and his wife Melior; bequests are also made to
Richard’s sons William and Nicholas and to his unmarried daughters Dorothy, Jone, Amy, and Frances.
The 1618 will
of Dorothy Dackombe (see [f]), the
daughter of Sir John Dackombe-11 names her uncles as William and Nicholas, and
her aunts as Dorothy Estmond, Amy Durdoe, Frances Young and Roper
Thus all three
wills agree that Richard and Alice had three sons John (eldest) William
(second) and Nicholas (youngest). It
can also be concluded that they had four daughters living in 1618: Dorothy married ESTMONT; Amy married DIRDO,
Frances married YOUNG, the marriages taking place between 1600 and 1618. The fourth daughter was named Joan and Sir
John’s will indicates that she married PENNEY.
The 1618 will of Dorothy Dackombe names an
aunt Roper, but no mention of Joan.
However the 1634 visitation of Essex has a marriage of William Bigg to
Melior Roper and in Sir John’s will, Melior Bigg is named as a cousin and
William Bigg witnessed his will. Aunt
Roper was therefore probably Melior Roper and may have been an aunt on her
mother’s side (PITT or MOHUN)

Assuming
births at two-year intervals on average, the last child would have been born c1582. The marriages would be expected around
1590-1610 but no birth or marriage record of any of these descendants has been
found. The 1648 will of Thomas Estmond
of Chardstock DOR names his wife Dorothy as sole executrix and his children as
Thomas, John, Dorothy, Mary and Anne.
There is no proof that his wife was Dorothy Dackombe, but it seems
probable as she would have an age between 68 and 78 at her husband’s death for
the expected birth date between 1570 and 1580.
From Robert’s will, Richard was alive in 1600. From John Budden’s will (ref [h] below), Alice was alive in 1609. Assuming an age at death less than 80 and a marriage age of 20, they would both have died before 1627 but no burial record or will has been found. A survey of Motcombe parish made in 1608/9 notes that Richard Daccombe sold or granted away his land in Motcombe on 4Jny1604/5. No Dackombe appeared in the survey dated between 1608 and 1621/2. Clearly Richard’s land was sold in Jny1604/5 and it seems possible, even likely, that this was because of his death. At this time he would have been aged about 65.
14Eliz [1572] Interrogatories in case of Frances DACKUM gent v Margaret BELL and Allen BELL defendants concerning one tenement called
Hogford and one other called Riches in the manor of Kingston Lacy; 1. Do you
know the parties and tenements and Sir John Rogers and John Dackome gent
deceased? 2. concerning custom of the manor; 3. do you know that John Dackum
served in the wars under Sir John Rogers? 4.etc [further questions less
relevant]
26Jun14Eliz Deposition of James FESANNTE one
of the tenants of Kingston Lacye age 60; Knows Frannces Dackum and Margaret
Bell; knows the tenements and knew Sir John Rogers and John Dackum gent and
hath known them for 40 years or more. Knows that John Dackum served in the wars
under Sir John Rogers as his petty captain in the reign of King Edward VI at
the rebellion in the West and was hurt betwixt the eye and the nose with an
arrow. Hath heard say the John Dackome was a suitor to Sir John Rogers, but he
heard Sir John Rogers say openly in the court that Margaret Bell should not
have the reversion of the tenement unto her children only so she would name
this complainant. John Daccome laid down 12d on the board for the fine.
Margaret Bell and Allen her son did surrender their rights.
Deposition of Thomas HAYMAN age 50. Knows John Daccome served our King being
petty captain under Sir John Rogers at the commotion in the west country and
there was wounded with an arrow about the eye.
Was at Bryanstone at Sir John Rogers' and heard Sir John say that widow
Bell should not have the tenement whereupon he called unto John Daccome father to the
complainant and asked him whether the widow and he was
agreed. And Daccom prayed that she
might have the tenement, that his son, the complainant, should be in the
reversion of her son Allen. And Daccom
took out 12d piece from his purse and paid it toward the fine
Further depositions from Lawrence WARHAM 60,
William CHERICKE 40, John FORESTE 40.
{None of then testify concerning John Daccome serving as a petty
captain. Discussion concerns whether
Francis was 2nd or 3rd on the copyhold, and whether John Daccome paid the fine,
which was evidently a crucial factor according to the custom of the manor. Sir John Rogers was referred to as John
Daccome's master}
21Mar 22Eliz [1580] Baron v Mervin; this suit
concerns the manor of Kingston Lacye; the deponent was Francis Dackham of
Kingston Lacy gent aged 30 or thereabouts. His evidence concerned only the
affairs of Baron v Mervin [the calendar lists this case as Ettrick v Marvyn]
John Deverall of Whytchurche SOM yeoman and
John Browne of Motcombe DOR husbandman v Richard Dacombe and John Compton;
William Monntier late of Motcombe, seised of lands &c in Motcombe, let them
to William Baron deceased; in his will, William Baron bequeathed the lands to
his wife Grace Baron and then to his son William Baron. About 5 years ago Grace
married John Deverall and they let the lands to William Browne father of
complainant. Evidence deeds came by casual means into the hands of Richard
Dacombe and John Compton
Answer by John Compton: long before the death
of the said William Monntyer, one -- Dorington esq was lawfully seised of the
lands and about 18 years ago he conveyed the messuage &c to the said
William Monntier and his heirs for £60, and William Monntier conveyed the premises &c to Alice, then one
of the daughters of the said William Monntier, and her heirs. William Monntier
died and Alice entered the premises. About 4 years ago she married Richard
Dackham, so he was possessed of the premises by the rights of Alice; about 14 June last he let it to defendant John Compton paying £16pa to
Richard Daccombe and his heirs

The
chancery record above (c) shows that Alice was the daughter of William Monntier
of Motcombe. However an entry in the
Gillingham Court Roll states that Alice was the daughter of John
MOUNTIER:
13Oct1567:
John MOUNTIER, tenant of this manor, is dead; Alice his daughter, wife of
Richard Dackombe, inherits and pays 13s relief.
Details
and dates fit except for the forename so it seems that one entry or the other
is incorrect but it is not clear which
John Dackombe-11 was brought up by John Budden of Shaftesbury, whose will, signed on 18Jul1609 and proved in 1615 (see above [h]), named his nephew John Dackombe gent as his executor; he also left a silver bowl to “my sister Dackombe”. The Chancery record above shows that Alice had sisters, and it appears therefore that one of them married John Budden.
