Salisbury Family Tree

To understand the interplay of the Salisbury family in the life of Henry and Ann Trease's children, you need to be aware of the tree below. You will observe that only grandchildren of Thomas Salisbury of Sheffield were from his daughter Eleanor's marriage to her cousin William Bartholomew Salisbury who also was the son of her father's brother.

Samuel SALISBURY of Rugeley

Samuel was born on 26th January 1782 in Ashby de la Zouch. About seven years earlier, on the 27th November 1774, his father, William Salisbury, who was a clockmaker, and his mother, Ann Drayton, had married in Ashby de la Zouch. Samuel was their fourth child and joined three older brothers, William, John and Thomas. Three years later, their first daughter, Ann, was born. A further 11 years were to elapse before the birth of Mary, their last child. William and Ann probably had other children who did not survive infancy as it was commonplace for babies to be stillborn or die before reaching the age of five. William and Ann's family was typical of that period - it was large and included children born quite late in their parents' lives. With the exception of John, who died young, all the children were to marry.

Samuel was the first of his brothers and sisters to marry. He was 22 when, on the 12th February 1804, he married Elizabeth Gregory at St Pancras in London. They spent the first year or so of their married life in London where their first child, William Bartholomew Salisbury, was born. Shortly afterwards, they moved to Rugeley where they settled down to spend the rest of their married life. Their arrival in Rugeley in 1805/6 appears to mark the start of the Rugeley Salisbury family. As there seems to be no previous Salisbury connection, it is possible that Elizabeth's family had connections with Rugeley.

After they settled in Rugeley, Elizabeth gave birth to three more children who survived infancy: -

- Elizabeth christened on the 30th June 1806, married Henry Pemble on 2nd April 1833.
- Margaret christened on the 30th September 1807
- Samuel christened on 17th March 1810

Four other births are recorded but three died young : -

- Ann, christened on the 15th November 1808, survived childhood and became a teacher at Provident Chapel. In 1836 she died unmarried aged 27.
- John was christened on the 23rd December 1811 and died when he was 7 years old.
- Joseph was christened on the 14th August 1815 and died in January 1817.
- Thomas was christened on the 6th March 1818 and died in January 1820.

Samuel set up in business on his account and by 1818 was carrying on the businesses of a saddler and maltster from premises in Bridge End, Rugeley. He took an active interest in the Provident Chapel in Elmore Lane Rugeley where he was appointed Deacon. His children were all scholars of the Church school and continued their involvement with the Church and School thereafter - William became a Sunday school superintendent and deacon; Elizabeth married a minister of the church; Margaret and her sister Ann became teachers there; Samuel became a superintendent and deacon. Prior to 1832, the school appears to have been held in the Chapel. In 1832 subscribers, including Samuel who contributed £10, raised money for the purchase of land for separate school buildings. A history of the Chapel records that "Christmas treats for the scholars were held in Samuel's malt house in Bees Lane, when the place was decorated with flags and evergreens and the children were regaled with roast beef and plum pudding".

By 1829 Samuel and Elizabeth were living in Albion Street, Rugeley. Elizabeth died on the 12th May 1833. Two years later, on the 9th June 1835, Samuel remarried to Sarah Brown at the church of St Mary the Virgin, Ingestre. Ingestre is about 7 or 8 miles north of Rugeley. Sarah was about the same age as Samuel and born in Stourbridge. Samuel died in September 1853 after a long illnesss. After he died, his second wife Sarah moved to Wolverhampton, and supported herself with her savings. She is recorded living in Clarendon Street, Wolverhampton in the 1861 census. On the 2nd April 1864 her funeral was held at the church of St Michael and All Angels, Tettenhall Regis, Wolverhampton. She was 82.

Samuel's daughter, Margaret, died unmarried. The other children got married and had families.

William Bartholomew SALISBURY

William was born in St Pancras, London, on the the 6th February 1805. He spent only the first few months of his life in London, and undoubtedly would have regarded himself as a Rugeley man.

He went to primary school at Providence Chapel in Elmore Lane and for his secondary education he attended Rugeley Grammar School. He subsequently was to take a deep and active interest in the Primitive Methodist Church and associated school. On the back of a church bill for provisions for the Sunday School Xmas treat dated Feb 4th 1833 are some notes in his handwriting. From 1840 to 1875 he served as a Sunday school superintendent. In 1851 he became member of a committee of 5 appointed to manage the temporal affairs of the Chapel. In 1854, following his father's death, he was appointed Deacon in place of his father. On Whit Monday 1874 he laid one of the memorial stones for the new chapel.

He became a saddler and by 1834, when he was 29, was trading from premises in Market Street, Rugeley. Subsequently he took over his father's business as maltster and by 1850 was registered as trading as a saddler and maltster from premises in Lower Brook Street, Rugeley. The change of address may not indicate that he physically moved premises as sometime after 1834, Market Street was renamed as Upper and Lower Brook Street. By 1850, his home address was Stone House Farm, Rugeley.

It was not until 1845, when he was then 40, that he married. His wife, Eleanor Salisbury, was the daughter of his uncle, Thomas of Sheffield, and the marriage took place in Sheffield. William and Eleanor must have known each other from early childhood.

Although it seems strange these days for first cousins to marry, it appears to have been a fairly common arrangement in the nineteenth century. The known problem with intermarriage is that it can cause unnatural predominance of some genes. One wonders whether this may in some way have contributed to the tragedies that blighted the lives of both their children. They appear to have named the children after their mutual grandmother, Ann Drayton. The first child, Ann, was born on 11 September 1847. The second, Drayton, was born three years later. Both children, like their father before them, attended the Primitive Methodist Church and were educated at the associated school. Like their parents and probably with encouragement from them they took an active interest in the church.

In November 1859, Eleanor's father Thomas died. It appears that shortly after that, Eleanor's umarried sister, Mary Ann, came to Rugeley to be near her sister. Certainly she was in Rugeley in March 1860 when she drew up her will following her father's death. Like the rest of the family Mary Ann was supportive of the Primitive Methodist church and at one time arranged a generous legacy for them.

On October 17th 1865, when he was 60, William attended the first meeting of the Rugeley Board which was an early form of Urban District Council. At that meeting he was elected chairman, a role similar to that of a mayor today and in which he was to be active for the next 15 years. Shortly after, on the 6th December 1865, his wife Eleanor died.

Four years later, William is no longer recorded as carrying on his business as a saddler and malster. It is surmised that he may have sold the business and retired. Certainly from about 1869 he lived at a house called The Oaklands which was near Stone House farm where he formerly lived. He also arranged for his late wife's sister, Mary Ann to stay there with him but it is also possible that she had been part of William's household from before then. His son Drayton's chosen career was surveyor.

On the 4th January 1870, one year after William retired, his daughter Ann, who was then 22, married Henry Trease, 25, at Providence Chapel, Rugeley and left home to live in Coventry. Six months later on the 27th June, Mary Ann died.

With the departure of his children and the death of his wife's sister, William's role as chairman of the Rugeley Board would have become a major interest in an active retirement. The Board met monthly, normally in the morning "when the brain was fresh". Its chief duties were to approve the action of various committees such as the Finance, Market Fair Tolls, Public Buildings, Lighting, Fire Engine, Highway, Farm, and Nuisance Removal committees.

Over the next few years, William became grandfather to Ann's 6 children, only one of whom died in infancy. One imagines that he would have delighted in her visits to Rugeley when he would have had sight of his grandchildren.

During that period, the Rugeley Board was instrumental in the construction of a new Town Hall and, as Chairman, William played a significant role in this. On June 26th 1878, he laid down one of the foundation stones, the other being laid by the Earl of Lichfield who had given the site to the town. A year later on June 28th 1879, the Hall was opened by the Earl of Shrewsbury in a major civic event - the church bells pealed merrily, a lunch was held with 130 guests, and 23 speeches were made. William would have featured in the celebrations and possibly have made one of the speeches. One imagines that Ann and Drayton would have been invited to both events to see their father. The Town Hall was a grand building.

The foundation stone that William laid was at the side of the building. On a visit to Rugeley in 2002, it was discovered that the Town Hall had been redeveloped - only the facade remained. However, the local history society had the foresight to photograph the foundation stone in position at the side of the hall and rescue it. It then graced the garden of one of their members. The photograph showed the foundation stone in position shortly before the building was demolished. The building was sadly neglected by then.

On 25th March 1880, William, who was then 75, did not put himself forward to stand for the post of chairman of the Rugeley Board. Even though his name did not appear on the ballot papers he still received over 200 votes. Sixty pounds was collected to buy him something to commemorate his services to the Rugeley Community but he requested that the money be donated to the local Grammar School to help children from poorer families. His decision not to stand may be connected with his anticipation of the impending bankruptcy case.

It appears that his son Drayton became addicted to drinking and wild habits in his late twenties. In June 1880 he went to Wordsley where he told locals he was a jockey from Rugeley. He hung out with some drinking companions but on the 18th June 1880 he died from an opium overdose. At the inquest it was said that he would take opium when he was drunk because he thought it helped him sober up a bit. That day he asked one of his companions to get some opium but they got a different mixture from what he normally had and as a result he overdosed on it. Although the death certificate stated his occupation was glass maker, the coroner's inquest stated that he was visiting Wordsley "on a spree" and, anyway, his lifestyle seemed to preclude work. Wordsley was at the time the centre of the UK glass industry. Travellers on the main Stourbridge to Wolverhampton road were met at Wordsley by a view dominated by the glass-house cones, towering to almost 100 feet, of three adjoining glassworks alongside the canal - the White House, the Red House, and the Wordsley Flint glassworks (also known as "the London House"). About two months later, on the 17th August 1880, William was adjudged bankrupt, and around the time of these events, daughter Anne and Henry's marriage broke up. It took William nine months to bring himself to apply for the administration of his son's estate. It must have been heartbreaking for William to lose his only son at his prime of life. One is left with the suspicion that these devastating events were in some way connected but there is so far no information to link them. Drayton's self administered overdose of heroin was adjudged to be an accident but one is left wondering ...

After he was adjudged bankrupt he left Rugeley and went to live with his younger brother, Samuel, in Sparkbrook, Birmingham where he was to spend the last two years of his life. William died at his brother's on the 4th May 1882.

Eleanor HARDY nee SALISBURY

Eleanor's father John Middleton Salisbury married Susannah Webster on 16th May 1832 in Derbyshire. Eleanor appears to have been an only surviving child and had been christened at Sheffield on 23rd March 1834. Ann Trease's children went to stay with her around 1892 and always referred to her, as "Aunt Hardy".

In 1862 Eleanor, 30, married William Hardy, a Kimberley brewer aged 33. The story of the Hardy Brewery provides background to the Trease's connection with Kimberley and is in itself fascinating.

Briefly, in 1850, when William was 21 and his brother, Thomas, a lad of 18, they had started together as wholesale beer merchants, buying in bulk from brewers in Nottingham and Derby, and selling to country landowners, farmers and publicans. From the outset they had been markedly successful and by 1857 although they were purchasing nearly the whole output of three breweries they still could not keep pace with the requirements of their rapidly growing business. The logical next step was to start brewing for themselves so they established the brewing company W & T Hardy and bought Robinson's an established Kimberley brewery. In that same year, the younger brother Thomas married Mary Ann Tyzack, who was a daughter of Ebenezer Tyzack, of the Sheffield firm W.Tyzack & Sons.

During the early years of the brewery, they brewed night and day six days a week. William conducted the brewings and managed the brewery while Thomas travelled five days a week selling beer around the county attending on other days to the financial part of the business. The business continued to prosper and in 1861, they bought an acre of land in Kimberley and engaged Robert Grace an architect from Burton-on-Trent to design a brand new "ten quarter" brewery. This was a sizeable concern - the stables alone accommodated 40 dray horses. The chimney, which was still surviving in 2002, had the inscription W & T H 1861 round it.

On June 25th 1862, the year after building the new brewery, William married Eleanor Salisbury in the parish church in Sheffield. The two events wer probably connected. The work involved in getting the new brewery built and running the established business must have been excessive even for an apparent workaholic like William and the distraction of getting married at the same time would have been too much. Like William Hardy's brother's wife, Mary Ann, Eleanor was the daughter of a Sheffield businessman. There may be some connection between the two wives - possibly they had been part of the same social set in Sheffield. Eleanor's father, John Middleton Salisbury, ran a business of chemist & druggist from premises in Sheffield Moor and judging from his estate when he died had become very well off. Eleanor would almost certainly have been used to living in some style. As an only child, the wedding in Sheffield would have been a very important occasion for her parents and one imagines it may been quite a lavish affair.

It is almost inconceivable that William and Eleanor did not intend to have children but it is also clear that the marriage ended childless. Whether they could not have children or whether the children they had all died in their infancy is not currently known. Whatever it was it would almost certainly have been a great disappointment to them. William continued working with his brother until the 18th February 1875 when he then retired aged 46 and dissolved the partnership. It is very strange that someone who has devoted 25 years of their working life to building a business should retire in their prime of life. What prompted this is not known - it could have been because of ill-health but it also could have been the realisation that their would be no heirs to whom to pass the business and therefore what was the point in working any more?

Rather than continue as a sleeping partner he sold his share in the business to his brother on the 7th May 1875 for £2,500. The business continued to grow and although £2,500 was a substantial sum, it pales into insignificance when compared with the £400,000 the total business was worth 20 years later. The business William and his brother established was certainly a financial success story. The business became known as Hardy's and Hanson's Ltd., and existed as an independent brewer with about 200 licensed houses through to 2009.

About the time William retired, the Great Northern Railway company wanted to build a line into Kimberley station but a row of cottages was in the way. Fortunately for William but unfortunately for the railway company, the cottages were his. It perhaps illustrates William's business acumen that he was able to negotiate a brilliant deal with them. In return for demolishing two of the four cottages, the railway company agreed to construct a new house for him. This house was called the Firs and was no ordinary building. It was the first in Kimberley to be centrally heated, achieved through warm air being circulated through the large cavity walls. At the back of the house was a magnificent stained glass window representing the "Four Ages of Man". Included in the deal were stables, coachhouse and conservatory etc.

Despite much local opposition the house was demolished in 1988. Local residents rescued the stained glass window from Sotheby's. In 2002 it was adorning the end wall of Kimberley Parish Hall and looked spectacular especially when the backlit. The stable buildings were converted into two dwellings and thus saved complete with the weather vane at one end adorned with a large H (for Hardy). Much of the history of the building related above was provided by Roy Plumb, a local historian, who was also a prominent figure in the efforts to save the house.

Like many well-off Victorians, William and Eleanor lived a very comfortable life by present day standards. They employed three staff who lived on the premises, a housekeeper, who managed the affairs of the house, a housemaid, who did all the routine housework, and a cook.

They therefore had plenty of leisure time and as their marriage was childless, they had no children or grandchildren to absorb their time. William had been an extremely active person before retirement and one imagines that he would have harnessed his energies to some purpose in retirement but nothing has appeared so far.

William and Eleanor certainly did plenty of entertaining and regularly had visitors staying with them. William Hardy's Will refers to musical instruments, so it is possible that he or Eleanor played music. They also would have read. "Aunt Hardy" was, like the Rugeley Salisburys, very active in the cause of the Primitive Methodists. She, and William helped finance the building of the Primitive Methodist Chapel in Kimberley, opened in 1876.

Life continued in what one imagines was a comfortable and pleasant way until one month in 1893, when Aunt Hardy lost the two men who had been closest to her. On the 9th March 1893, her father, John Middleton Salisbury, died. On the 4th April, her husband William died. As she had no children of her own, the only surviving blood relatives of the Sheffield branch of the Salisbury family were now herself, Ann in self-imposed "exile" in Australia, and Ann's children. It seemed natural for her to become unofficial "guardian" of Ann's children who were the only Salisburys left to continue her line of the family. As she was materially very well off, had the space at The Firs to accommodate those of the family who wished to stay and the staff to do the work, there were no obstacles to the arrangement.

So in 1893, the children, who were by then quite grown up, the youngest being Edith who was 15, went to stay with their Aunt Hardy. The Firs effectively became the family home for the next 17 years until Aunt Hardy herself died.

Gloucester Citizen Saturday 6th July 1892

County Court, Friday. Before his Honour Judge Ellicott - A. Hill v. H. Trease. Plaintiff claimed £4 5s for dilapidations to a house, 13 Grosvenor place south, which defendant rented from plaintiff. £1 9s 6d was paid into Court. Mr H. Lewis appeared for plaintiff and Mr A.H. Sith appeared for defendant. Defendant first took house at £7. 10s a quarter but subsequently an agreement was come to varying the terms as to rent, under which the defendant was to give up the house in as good state of repair as when he entered. The tenancy was given up in April last, and plaintiff then found the dilapidation for which he claimed. Evidence was given of the premises having been in a proper state of repairs when the tenancy commenced and of their "bad condition" when the tenancy expired. The defence was that the repairs were only such as would be necessary after a three years wear and tear. Judgment was given for the plaintiff for £3 2s 9d being £1 13s 5d more than paid into Court.

He moved that a letter be sent to Mr. Salisbury signed by the Chairman on behalf of the Board and containing a resolution conveying their thanks for his past services. Mr. Greensmith seconded the motion. He was sure no-one on the Board could help expressing the regret they felt at losing Mr. Salisbury. He felt very much himself the manner in which Mr. Salisbury had been left out of the voting papers, and he was sure people had voted for others not from any feeling against Mr. Salisbury, but from an opinion that he was safe to get in.

Address to Mr. Salisbury
We have been requested to publish the following correspondence.

Rugeley, May 12, 1880
Dear Mr. Salisbury,
We have been requested by a number of your fellow townsmen to convey to you the assurance of their sincere regard and their warm appreciation of the ability and conscientiousness with which you have discharged the duties of a difficult and responsible office. When it had become known that you had ceased to hold it, it immediately occurred to them that your services to the town ought to receive public and general recognition and they hoped that you might have been prevailed upon to accept some slight token of their gratitude and friendship, but as you have generously decided that the sum of money subscribed for the purpose should be placed at the disposal of the Local Board in order that the benefits of the Grammar School may be brought within easier reach of the poor, they feel all the more bound to express in words, what you will not allow them to express in deed, their deep sense of your devotion to the good of Rugeley, of which you have given them another and a convincing proof .. there then follows a list of achievements - clean water system, public buildings etc.
signed R.M.Grier, Saml. Timmis, David Woodroffe, Robert Landor.

The Oaklands, Rugeley, May 17, 1880
Gentlemen - Having been much from home of late, I have delayed acknowledging the testimonial so handsomely proposed by you on behalf of my fellow townsmen. Words fail me to convey my feelings for the kind expressions contained in this address. I shall ever esteem it as one of the most precious documents I possess. I would specially acknowledge the assistance and counsel rendered by my late colleagues and am grateful that the arduous duties of the Board have been conducted with so much good feeling and unanimity. Trusting that our past efforts may ever tend to the success and prosperity of the town and neighbourhood, I remain, gentlemen, yours faithfully,
signed William B. Salisbury

DEATH BY OPIUM POISONING

On Tuesday afternoon, Mr W.H.Phillips, coroner, held an adjourned inquiry on the body of Drayton Salisbury, aged 29, of Rugeley, at the Boat Inn, Wordsley. It appeared from the evidence adduced that the deceased, whose parents are wealthy and occupy a high position in Rugeley, was a man of good education, but during the last two or three years, he has been addicted to drinking and wild habits. He came to Wordsley a few weeks ago, on "the spree" and representing himself to be a jockey. Since then he has been the constant companion of two young men named Bate who live in Brewery Street, Wordsley. He had also acquired the habit, when in drink, of taking laudanum, with the view to sober himself; but this the surgeon stated at the inquest was a mistake on his part, as laudanum had not a sobering effect on an intoxicated person. On the 17th inst. the deceased went for a walk with Henry Carr, a chemist, and one of the Bates and he asked Carr to get some laudanum for him. Carr for that purpose went to the shop of Mr Hughes, chemist, Stourbridge and asked for a quantity of Batley's solution of opium. He was served with it but finding it came to too much money he took half an ounce of Southall's solution. In this there would be about twelve of the largest doses. The shopman who served Carr stated that he labelled the bottle poison but did not notify the dose as Carr intimated he was a chemist. Carr at the inquiry maintained that the dose was stated on the bottle. On their way home, they passed a canal, and Carr emptied half the liquid opium away, filled the bottle up with water and gave it to the deceased. They afterwards went to a public house in Brewery street where the deceased who was not sober then, had several pints of ale. He afterwards went to Bates' house for the night. It appears that liquid opium when mixed with water has not a particularly strong taste, though in reality it is stronger than laudanum. Before he went to bed the deceased, evidently thinking that the stuff he had got was weaker than the laudanum he had been accustomed to take, swallowed the whole. A few hours later he was heard to snore violently.The Bates became alarmed, a doctor was sent for, a stomach pump and all available remedies were tried, but without effect and the deceased soon afterwards died. A postmortem examination revealed the fact that he had died from an overdose of opium - The jury returned the verdict that the deceased died from opium poison, taken by himself in ignorance of the proper dose, and the jury considered that the witness Carr acted most indiscreetly, as a chemist, in handing the deceased a preparation of opium calculated to destroy life, without any proper label to indicate the proper dose.

BANKRUPTS (From last nights Gazette)
William Bartholomew Salisbury, gentleman, Oaklands, Rugeley, Staffordshire.

1880 Friday 10th September 1880 (Lichfield Mercury)

Bankruptcy meeting of 8th September 1880

Lichfield Mercury. Friday 07 January 1881

Mr. Woodroffe read a resolution proposed by himself and seconded by Mr. Greensmith some time ago regarding the testimonial presented to Mr. Salisbury in recognition of the services rendered by him to the town. Mr Woodroffe stated that the reason he referred to the above was that about £60 was collected and handed over to the Board by Mr. Salisbury and he believed that the money now lies in the bank and he wished to know if they could transfer the money to the trustees of the Grammar School, for either scholarship or prizes. He thought they should endeavour to invest it . - Mr. Salisbury distinctly wished it to be applied to the Grammar School. He considered that it would be unwise for them not to try to do the best with the funds at their disposal. They could get a 50s prize which would be a very good one to offer the elder boys as the Local Board Prize. He would like the Board to take some action in the matter. He then gave notice that he would call the attention of the Board at the next meeting to the Salisbury testimonial at their disposal. . . There then follows other items not relevant to the Salisbury testimonial.

Lichfield Mercury. Friday 15th August 1890

No 22 The Grammar School (continued from last week)

. . The sum of £1 13s 6d is derived from a fund given by William Bartholomew Salisbury, the first chairman of the local board, particulars of which are thus set forth upon a board hanging in the schoolroom. "In grateful remembrance of Rugeley Grammar School, Wm Bartholomew Salisbury, a former pupil, on his retirement from the Rugeley Local Board, of which he was chairman for 15 years, having been presented with a purse of 50 guineas caused the same to be invested for the benefit of the school of his native town. London and North Western Railway stock amounting to £43 was purchased in the name of the Rugeley Local Board, the dividend of which is yearly devoted to the purchase of a prize of books awarded to the head boy of the school and termed the Salisbury prize, April 15th 1880."

	Last week, mention was made of the success which attended the first of Mr S. R. Gorton's subscription concerts at the Montpellier Rotunda and as the second concert which took place on Saturday afternoon, it would be safe to predict , judging from all appearances, that these concerts which have been so popular in the past will be looked upon with increased favour during the present season .. (description of first concert) .. No less pleasing were the harp solos by Miss Salisbury Trease, a harpist of considerable ability, who found no lack of admirers of the charming manner in which she played "French March" (representing a military band in the distance) by Bochoa and "March Megan" (Aptommas) ..
	A meeting of the All Saints Church of England Temperance Society was held in the York Rooms, Grosvenor Terrace on Monday evening. The room was crowded and many were unable to obtain admission. An excellent programme had been arranged, and all present appeared thoroughly interested. Very stirring addresses were delivered by Mr D. Woodward and Mr E. A. Brown (of Gloucester) which had the effect of inducing seven of their hearers to take the pledge at the end of the meeting. Mention should be made of the performances of the Misses Trease which were received with hearty applause .. The following was the programme : - Temperance Hymns, the Audience, violin duet, the Misses Trease, banjo solo Miss F. Trease; ..

John Eutermarks

John Eutermarks is listed as a lawyer admitted to this bar in 1864, and died in the fall of 1886. From 1869-70, he is listed under J. W. Maynard & Company; in 1871, he is listed under the firm name of Maynard, Eutermarks and Parker (i.e., James O., divorced husband of Clara Maynard Parker, daughter of Judge Maynard). In 1875-76, he is listed as practicing alone; from 1877 to 1879 he is partner of A. J. Webster, and again listed alone from 1881-82.

John Wesley Maynard

He was nominated for Congress by his Democratic friends from Lycoming County, but declined to run. Judge Maynard had a legal experience of more than half a century, during which time he was called upon to conduct many of the most important cases in Pennsylvania and New York. He married (1) Ann, daughter of Thomas and Nabby Mather, of Burlington, N. Y., May 18, 1830. They were the parents of one child, Sarah Ann, who became the wife of W. W. Willard. Mrs. Maynard died Dec. 25, 1832, and Judge Maynard married (2) Alvira C., daughter of Elijah De Pui. The offspring of this union were four sons and three daughters, of whom three sons and one daughter survived. The survivors were: Encie Eliza, who married (1) Peter Herdic; (2) Henry Rawle; James W.; and Clara, who married and later divorced James O. Parker, once a member of this bar. The second Mrs. Maynard died April 1, 1881, and in November 1883, he married Cordelia Bellows, who survived him. Judge Maynard died at his summer home, Minnequa Springs, Bradford County, PA., May 8, 1885.

1883 Newspaper reports

FLIGHT OF A LAWYER.; ELOPING WITH A YOUNG GIRL AND TAKING MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WITH HIM.

August 12, 1883, Wednesday

Page 1, 492 words PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 11.--A special dispatch to the Times says there has been for several days great excitement in Williamsport, Penn., caused by the flight of James O. Parker, senior member of the law firm of Parker Bentley, after embezzling a large sum of money collected by the firm. As soon as Mr Bentley became aware of the disappearance of his partner, the suspicion at once flashed upon his mind that all was not right and he started for New York on Monday night , Aug 6, to see if he could get any trace of him. This morning Mr Bentley returned from his search. He states that Parker left Williamsport on Monday night July 3 and proceeded to New York where he arrived on Tuesday morning and registered in his own name at the Hoffman House. There he remained until the following Saturday morning, when he paid his bill and left the hotel. From that time forth no further trace of him could be discovered. In the meantime Mr Bentley learned that Parker had called on a firm of brokers doing business in Pine Street on Friday, and informed them that he held a draft on New York and might want to be identified. He said he contemplated buying and while the draft was good he feared that it would not be accepted as a legal tender, and he would have to get the currency. Therefore he asked the brokers to identify him for that purpose. On July 31 about noon he called on the brokers, was identified, and drew the money at the Chemical National Bank. The draft was drawn by the Williamsport Bank for $6,270, and was made payable to the order of J. O. Parker. This money he had received from C. Larue Munson, of Williamsport, it being paid to him for certain lots in this city bought of the estate of R. W. Shenk of Lascaster for which the firm were acting as attorneys. Mr Bentley is so overwhelmed with the disaster which has overtaken him that he is unable to say at this time what the exact amount of ParkerÕs embezzlement is, but he fears it will run up to $30,000, as new things are constantly being developed. When Parker absconded it is though he had about $1,000 in his pocket, which with the draft collected in New York, would make $7,270. That can be traced but as it is now evident that his peculations had been going on for some time it is though that he might have got together over $20,000 which he carried way with him. One of the worst features about it is that he induced a young girl of this city, the daughter of highly respectable parents to elope with him. She is scarcely out of her teens. The supposition is that they sailed for Europe together. Parker married in 1869 a highly accomplished lady of this city, whom with a son of about 12 years of age he abandoned.

16th August 1883

James O Parker of the firm Parker and Bentley, attorneys of Williamsport, has fled from home after embezzling large sums of money, leaving his family. He is supposed to be in Europe. He was a prominent businessman and was regarded as the very soul of honor. His conduct is a severe shock to his friends.

Florence also had investments in Hardy's Breweries but maybe they didn't pay a dividend that year or Mr Cattle switched her into them subsequently. The property list appear to be mortgages - the reason that some of the calculations do not exactly match the principal amounts appears to be because the principal sums have been rounded down to the nearest £10.00.

The total capital used in the mortgages is about £2000.00 and almost certainly reflects the £2000 left to her in Aunt Hardy's will. Mortgages probably offered the best balance of income versus risk at that time. Interestingly Harboro Rd Ashton-on-Mersey was where her brother Will and his wife Corrie lived.
