NOTES

 

1.      The visitation of Dorset 1623 has a pedigree of the Dackomb family of Corfe Castle, Dorset, headed by a Thomas Daccomb who acquired property there by marriage to an heiress Elizabeth Clavell.   The Corfe Castle arms quarter the arms of the Steepleton family, and Hutchins, in his History of Dorset, states that the Corfe Castle family were “said to be a younger branch of the Dackombes of Steepleton”.  Corfe Castle is some 20 mile from Steepleton, so could the Thomas Daccomb who started the Corfe Castle family be the second son of John who heads the Steepleton pedigree?  The following analysis shows that this is possible:

 

Hutchins states that Thomas of Corfe Castle died in 1541 and that he married Elizabeth Clavell who was born 1488, and that their daughter Johanna married John Stanter before 1529.  This restricts Thomas’ marriage date to c1508 if neither Elizabeth nor Johanna were younger than 20 at marriage.  In the discussion to John Dackombe-15 of Steepleton, it is suggested that his eldest son was born c1460, and his third son between around 1470, so his second son Thomas would have been born around 1465.  If then he were Thomas of Corfe Castle, he would have been aged about 43 at marriage c1508 and about 76 at death in 1541.  These are plausible ages, so it is quite possible that Thomas of Corfe Castle was the second son of John of Steepleton.  However, none of the Visitations, nor Hutchins, and no other document has been found that makes such a connection.   The Dackombes had been in Steepleton for several generations prior to John, so a descent from an earlier Steepleton ancestor remains a possibility.

 

  1. The inquisition post mortem held on 14Sep1529 after the death of Elizabeth (Nat.Archives E150/916/11 PFN1376) mentions her daughter Johanna wife of John Stanter, and in Hutchin’s History of Dorset p510 it is stated that the marriage took place before 12Feb1529.  However the Stanter family descent given in the Visitation of Wiltshire 1565 has John Stanter of Horningsham, Wiltshire, married to a daughter of Dackom of Steepleton.  If this statement could be substantiated it might provide  proof of the connection of the Corfe Castle and Steepleton families.

 

  1. daughter of George LOVEL of Tarrant Rawson

 

4.      Thomas was named before Edward in his father’s will, although it was Edward who inherited from his elder brother Robert

 

  1.  daughter of Giles TURNER

 

  1. daughter of Henry BRUNE esq of Ethalston, DOR

 

  1. daughter of John HAVELLAND of Wickswood

 

  1. In his will, Edward Daccombe mentions his brother in law Edward Lawrence who cannot at present be placed on the tree, but might be a brother-in-law of either of his wives.  Hutchins queries whether his sister Dorothy was the daughter of Sir Edward Lawrence of Creech Grange, and formerly married to – Hall.

 

  1. of Sco[w]les in Corfe, conveyed to [brother in law] Thomas MORTON and Mary his wife [Nat Arch C22/274/4 19Oct1673]

 

  1.  the will of Anthonie Daccombe (see below) signed in March 1620/1 mentions his brother Francis Trewe and Francis’ sister Alice.  Brothers having differing surnames implies their mother either married twice or had an illegitimate son.  Anthonie’s surname was the same as his mother’s maiden name, so it seems he was illegitimate, provided of course that the will is correct.  But he named Mr Henry Daccombe as his uncle, which strongly supports this interpretation.  He also named Anthony Trew as his brother-in-law.   Anthony Trew was bequeathed 40 shillings “in lieu of a featherbed which was his mothers”.  This clearly implies that Anthony Trew’s mother was not Anthony Daccombe’s mother (otherwise the will would have referred to “my mother” ).  But the featherbed was clearly in Anthony Daccombe’s possession!  A rational interpretation is that he obtained it through his wife, Emme.  If Emme was Anthony Trew’s sister, then she would have been given the bed by their mother, and Anthony Trew would indeed have been Anthony Daccombe’s brother-in-law.  There was probably more than one Trew family in Corfe (the 1641 protestation return listed three separate John Trew’s, a Thomas and Alban Trew, as well as Anthonie and Francis) so Anthonie Trew is not placed on the above tree.  There remains Richard Fry, another brother-in-law for whom two possibilities are a marriage with Alice Trew or a marriage with a sister of Emme Trew.

 

  1. daughter of John St LOE esq of Little Fontmell DOR
