Barlees of Clavering, Essex

It seems that John Barley & Katherine Walden of  Albury, Herts had a second son [their son Henry is officially recognised] John 1430-1463.

Assuming he was their son he married Margaret Poyntz, 1480-1559, and they had a son, also called John, 1455-1541, who married Phillipa Bradbury, 1476-1530 and they in turn had William, 1538-1610, married to Elizabeth Searle, 1540-1619, Grace married John Searle, Joan married William Hunwicke, d. 1569, and Margaret, d. 1575, who married Edward Bell, d. 1576, and had a daughter, Margaret Bell, 1540-1605.

William and Elizabeth are the first to be memorialised in SS Clement & Mary, Clavering:

On the same monument are mentioned his son John, d.1633, his wife Mary Haynes, d. 1643, and three children viz Haynes 1606-1696, William, 1605-1635, and Elizabeth, 1611-1677, who married William Banson*, 1609-1659.

Haynes Barlee/Barley, 1606-1696, was married thrice. First, in 1637, to Margaret Oliver, 1617-1653, with whom he had thirteen children, four sons and nine daughters, of whom six survived viz Haynes, John, Mary, b. 1639, Margaret, b. 1641,married in 1663 John  Lloyd, Anne, b. 1643 and married in 1665 William Waad* and Elizabeth.

Haynes married secondly, in 1655, Mary Turner, d. 1658, by whom he had no issue but "a very plentiful fortune".

He married thirdly Mary Riddlesden, d. 1714, by whom he had four sons viz William, 1663-1683, Haynes, 1664-1691, Charles and Edward. William is commemorated in a stained glass window:

Haynes and Mary are memorialised by a monument erected by Palgrave Barlee* in 1747:

* William & Elizabeth's ledger stone records that they had seven sons and four daughters, eight surviving viz: John: Eliza: Barbara: Geor: Charle: Henry: Mary: & Jane. There are two other ledger slabs to William Banson, 1632-1677, and Christopher Banson, 1652-1681, both of which acclaim William & Elizabeth as parents, both of which outlived their father and one, Christopher, his mother. Were they wards[?] which seems unlikely or cast out?

* William Waad [Wade] was murdered in 1677 by Robert Parsons- hopefully more to come.

* Palgrave Barlee was the grandson of Haynes and the inheritor of his estates, and the last of his line from him the lands passed to his great niece Catherine Buckle and her half brothers.
