The EXETER, MARWOOD & SHIRWELL MAYNE Families of Devonshire in the south-west of England

INTRODUCTION
The material below is the story (in descendant pedigree format) of three Mayne families of Devon:

Mayne of Exeter (Devon) & later Teffont (Wiltshire) Mayne of Marwood (Devon) Mayne of Shirwill (Devon)

From page: 3 From page: 23 From page: 40

It is organised for each family in turn into three parts, with occasional articles, as follows :-

Descendant Pedigree with illustrated notes on each individual of the family. Index of individuals in the pedigree. Sources. List of the main research sources used (before web sources were available). Articles about the family in general or particular characters in it are occasionally included
These pedigrees have been researched and compiled as part of a one-name study of the MAYNE surname which was published by David Gore on CD in 2007 [ISBN: 9780953091218]. The following provided material or in other ways supported the study: John Mayne, Margaret Thomas in England, Stella Little, Martha OGrady and Brian MacDonald in Ireland, Jillian Fisher, Dell Mayne and Robert Harden Scott in Australia, and Brian Mayne in Japan.

MAYNE OF DEVONSHIRE
GENERAL INTRODUCTION

12th CENTURY. Records say that in the 12th century Joel de Mayne obtained from King Henry I property in Devonshire at
Kings Nympton near Chulmleigh by the River Taw. These places are today small villages near South Molton in the Barnstaple (north coast) region of Devon, which is immediately west and south-west of Exmoor.

16th CENTURY. Devon records suggest that Mayne families are more populous in the Barnstaple region than in other parts of
Devon (not necessarily because of the earlier influence of Joel de Mayne!) :Devon Muster Rolls of 1569. The muster of military reservists was generally held every three years in the normal way but was increased in times of threat, such as that from Spain in 1569. The 1569 Muster Rolls for Devon are unique in being almost complete and so give a good indication of the spread of a name across the county. It shows most of the Mayne families were in the Barnstaple region (South Molton, Swimbridge, George Nympton, Bideford, Braunton, West Down). Next numerous were the Maynes around Exeter and the whole eastern half of this large County (Crediton, Exeter St Thomas, East Budleigh, Upottery, Clayhidon). Finally there were some on Devons south-west coast around Plymouth (Egg Buckland, Plympton, Dartmouth). MS List of Wills proved by the Archdeaconry of Barnstaple 1566-1637. This list of Mayne Wills is a further indication of the large number of Mayne families in the Barnstaple region of north Devon and along the Taw valley. North of Barnstaple, these deaths occurred at Shirwell, Bratton, West Down, Marwood, Georgeham, and to the south at Bideford, Chittlehampton, South Molton and in several villages to the south-west of Kings Nympton and Chulmleigh.

PEDIGREES. We show three Devon families whose early records begin in the 16 th or early 17th century :Mayne of Exeter. The first were successful brewers and merchants of Exeter (the Devon capital), a branch of whom settled in Wiltshire at the end of the 17th century. An article about this family is at "A Mild Deception" Mayne of Marwood. This is a Mayne family who originated from the same place as the Maynes of Shirwell (below), although no link has been established between the two. The Marwood family have been unable to discover their descent before about 1610, tantalisingly just a generation short of the last we know of the Maynes of Shirwill. [Ref: Search for a Saint by Brian Everett Mayne, 1983 (Ontario Genealogical Society Magazine Families Vol.22, No. 2)] Mayne of Shirwell. This is another farming family from the same area, north of Barnstaple and west of Exmoor. They are associated with the village of Shirwell and the manor of Youlston, and they include the celebrated Catholic priest, St Cuthbert, who was martyred at Launceston in 1577. Unfortunately it has not been possible to extend this short familys line down into the 17th century. The story of this West Country saint can be read at "St Cuthbert & the Road to Launceston"

At the end of the 17th century they brought their wealth to settle in Wiltshire. Richard was a 'Freeman of Exeter' (and as such in 1575/6 he was fined 1). He had a brother and a sister: the brother Thomas Mayne had a daughter who married a man by the name of Paschowe. The sister's name is thought to have been Joan. Spouse: Death: Children: Alice Payne 1625 Richard (1594-1643) Katherine Nicholas Judith Thomas John Elizabeth (1599-)

(4) 1.1.2.1 Christopher Mayne of Teffont, Wiltshire ----------------------------------------

Christopher Mayne and his wife Mary Mompesson of Chicksgrove Manor, Salisbury. He purchased the Teffont estate, Wiltshire Birth: Death: Occ: 1655, Exeter 1701, age: 46 Lawyer: Middle Temple 1675

The only son & heir of his father. He purchased the Teffont estate in Wiltshire in 1679 for 12,000. His mother died that year and his father the year after. Much of the Teffont estate still remains in the family today although the Mayne name died out in 1905 on the death of Margaret Hele Mayne. She was the unmarried daughter of John Thomas Mayne whose only son died unmarried before him. Christopher was a JP (Justice of the Peace) for Devon in 1690-91. Spouse: Mary Mompesson

Mary was the daughter of Sir Thomas Mompesson from whom she inherited "a considerable estate at Chicksgrove" (late 14th century Manor House near Salisbury currently Listed by English Heritage Grade II*), as well as (rather conveniently!) the adjoining estate to Teffont. There is a picture of the Manor House today at Chicksgrove . [Ref: Burke's "Landed Gentry 1838" Vol. 4]. Children: John (1688-1726) Mary (1691-1711) Faith (1693-) Eleanor (1694-1743) Elizabeth Rachel (Died as Infant) (1696-1697)

John Mayne of Teffont 1688-1726 Page 5

Birth: Death: Burial:

1688, Teffont, Wiltshire 19 8 1726, age: 38 Teffont, Wiltshire

Left is the Arms on John Maynes 1726 memorial stone at Teffont, under which is: H.S.E. Johannes Mayne Armiger, Ob Aug 19 Ano D 1726 Etat Juce 38. [The Arms John Thomas Mayne produced for himself in 1843 is on the right above and on page 11 for comparison noticeable especially for the embellishment of a gold coronet!] The Arms of Teffont Maynes. Teffont church contains John Mayne's memorial stone (on the left here), on which he is described as "Armiger" (meaning "entitled to bear Arms"). Above the inscription is the Arms in a circle which seem to be the basis of those developed in John Thomas time (see page 11). The Arms on John's 1726 stone (on the left) clearly includes the Mayne "bend with three dexter hands couped at the wrist" on the left side of the shield, with (impaling) what are probably the Arms of his wife's family, Batt, on the right half. The Crest is consistent with John Thomas Maynes 19th century version of the Arms in that there appears to be the head of a dragon breathing fire (although it looks rather doglike), but the head does not rise out of a coronet as it later does. Beneath the Arms are the initials HSE - possibly an abbreviation for the motto? Spouse: Birth: Death: Elizabeth Batt 1695 1768, age: 73

MAYNE OF MARWOOD, DEVON, ENGLAND

This Devon family comes from the farmland north of Barnstaple and west of Exmoor in the early 17th century, when it was associated with the village of Marwood and later East Down. In the 19 th century a branch became established in Ontario, Canada. The family comes from the same area of Devon as the Maynes of Shirwell, although no link has been established between the two. There is a missing generation between where the Shirwell family ends (about 1562) and the first marriage in the Marwood Maynes pedigree (1611). The possible link between the Shirwell and the Marwood Maynes, just 3 miles and 50 years apart, is further discussed in the paragraph below. The Marwood family link to the Shirwell Maynes (the family of the Catholic martyr St Cuthbert Mayne). St Cuthbert Mayne had two nephews, the sons of his eldest brother David and his wife Johanne. They were both baptised at Shirwell, John Mayne in 1560 and Abraham in 1562. Some 50 years later, in 1611 at Marwood, 3 miles away, John Mayne of the Marwood family was married. On the presumption he would be marrying about age 25, this puts his birth around 1586 when either of the two nephews would be marrying and having children. Unfortunately, no record of John's birth or of the nephews' marriages or deaths has been found. One can therefore only say that it is very possible that Marwood John is the son of one of St Cuthbert's nephews. If so, it is probable that he is the son of nephew John; calling the first born son after his father was prevalent at that time. [Ref: "Search for a Saint" by Brian Everett Mayne , 1983 (Ontario Genealogical Society Magazine "Families" Vol.22, No. 2) which describes the efforts made to establish the missing link]

MAYNE OF SHIRWELL, DEVON, ENGLAND

They were a farming family from the area north of Barnstaple and west of Exmoor, associated with the village of Shirwell and the manor of Youlston. This family includes the celebrated Catholic priest, St Cuthbert, who was martyred at Launceston in 1577. Unfortunately it has not been possible to extend the familys line down to the 17th century. An article about the saint can be read at: "St Cuthbert and the Road to Launceston" .

(1) 1 William Mayne of Youlston Manor, Shirwell ---------------------------------------Occ: Shepherd, Copyholder (tenant) of Sir John Chichester of Youlston Manor Reli: Protestant (Church of England) William's is said to have been a "poor" family of shepherds, typical of many in the rural parts of England at that time. However it does seem that he or his wife had a brother, a protestant clergyman, who was described as "a schismatical priest" and was well off. This uncle took a liking to his nephew Cuthbert and sponsored his education.

St Alban's Hall, Oxford, BA 1567; St John's, MA 1570; Douai, Bach Theology 1576 Brought up a Protestant (Church of England). In 1575 ordained a Catholic priest

Cuthbert was fortunate in having an uncle who was a Protestant clergyman and wished to make Cuthbert heir to the rich church living to which the uncle was entitled. The uncle sponsored Cuthbert's education and he went to Barnstable Grammar School. Then, at the age of 17, his uncle obtained the living of nearby Huntshaw parish for him. His induction there committed Cuthbert to the Protestant "church by law established", and gave him some security and the prospect of a good income once he was ordained. His story and how, despite these advantages, he became a Catholic priest, was martyred and made a saint, is told in the article: "St Cuthbert and the Road to Launceston" Cuthbert was canonized by Pope Paul VI in 1970.

LINKS BETWEEN FAMILY GROUPS IN THIS COLLECTION

There have been many unsuccessful attempts to discover links between the different family groups of MAYNE in this one-name study. Some examples :-

Ireland & Bucks. There is evidence in Ireland in the form of a 1773 memorial stone inscription at the Mayne vault at Dartrey that Robert Mayne (1679-1753) of the Sedborough family was born at Creslow, near Hoggeston in Buckinghamshire, thus linking the Bucks and Irish branches. Although there are details of the large Mayne family who were established at Hoggeston and from 1596 at Creslow, no record of this Roberts English origin has been found there.

Ireland & Scotland. Similarities have been identified between the Echlin and Erskine Mayne families. Both emigrated from Scotland to the same part of Ireland in the 18th century, but no common link has been discovered. Devon. In the 16th century, both the Marwood and Shirwell families were living in villages just three miles apart in rural north Devon, yet no connection between them has been established (the Shirwill family includes the Catholic priest, Saint Cuthbert Mayne).

Kent & Devon. There have been several persistent but vain attempts over the years to claim descent from the wealthy Kent Mayne(y)s of the Middle Ages who, it appears, died out as a result of their overreaching support of the King during the English Civil War. One 19th century claim came from a lawyer, John Thomas Mayne, of the Exeter family who went to the lengths of manufacturing a spurious pedigree, published by Burke, and accumulating portraits of other Mayne families to support it (see page 11 above). Ireland, Bucks, Kent & Normandy. A large pedigree, produced about 1900 by another lawyer, John Dawson Mayne (1828-1917), was widely circulated in UK. It linked his Sedborough Irish family Mayne and the Buckinghamshire Maynes with the Mayne(y) family of Kent, and through them to the Mayennes of Normandy (France), back to the year 848 AD. Although much of his data on individuals proves accurate, no evidence could be found to confirm most of the links he had added between the different family groups in the course of the 29 generations of his pedigree. It remains un-validated as a bit of interesting wishful thinking!
