Notes:

Thomas Hurte, Merchant of Bristol

Thomas Hurte was baptized at All Saints Church, Bristol, Gloucestershire, England 16 January 1570, the fifth child and second son of Raphe Hurte and his wife Alice
Milwarde or Millard. [Parish Register of All Saints, Bristol FHL# 1596357] His older brother, Philip, appears to have deceased before Oct 1613, when Raphe
wrote his will, as Thomas is then named as his eldest son. No apprenticeship records have been located in the Bristol area. As Thomas is known to have been a
grocer and in the same merchants' guild as his father, it is most likely that he was trained by Raphe in the family business at Bristol.

The marriage of "Thomas Hurte of Bristoll and Martha Winstone, marr. The xxixth October" is recorded in the Sandhurst Parish Register in 1599.[FHL# 911289].
Martha was the third and youngest child of James Winstone and his wife Gwenllyan Herbert, whose residence was nearby Willington Court. Thomas and his newly
established family appear to have remained at Martha's home there in Sandhurst parish for several years.

Their first two children, Phillip, baptized 8 Jun 1603, and Radulph, baptized 21 Jan 1606 and buried 19 Feb 1606, were born at Willington Court and recorded in the
Sandhurst Parish Register. By January of 1607/1608, they were back in Bristol, with sons Roger (2 Jan 1607/1608) and Thomas (23 Mar 1610/1611 - d. By 1615)
being baptized in the church of St. John the Baptist. [FHL# 1565938] Daughter Alice was baptized 19 Feb 1612 in the old family parish of All Saints, [FHL#
1596357] as were the remaining seven children: William (23 Jul 1614) Thomas (17 Sep 1615), Hester or Ester (21 Dec 1616), Ann (8 Oct 1612), Martha (6 Jun
1625), Marye (30 Mar 1627) and Myriald (29 Mar 1630).

In 1612, Thomas is named in his brother, Roger's will as overseer or administrator of his estate, along with a friend, William Jones, also of the Merchants' Guild.
[FHL# 92051 - Prerogative Court of Canterbury - folio 84 Fenner, 1612] On 11 Sept. 1616, Thomas Hurte, grocer, was fined 12 pence in a disagreement with another
merchant. [Bristol Staple Court Records 1509-1679, FHL# 1657889] In 1627 and 1657, Thomas is named as living in the house on High Street, [Mayor's Audit or
1627-1628, City Chamberlain's Accounts, Bristol Record Society Pub. FHL# 942.41/B2 B4b, vol. 24; and All Saints Parish Accounts for 1657] apparently the same
house occupied by his father previously, and possibly the house that his paternal grandmother, Alice Milwarde, received as part of her inheritance from her father.

Thomas's family was recorded in the 1616 Visitation of Kent [Harlean Society Pub. XLII, pg. 31] and later in the 1634 Visitation of London [Harlean Soc. Pub. XV]
as submitted by his youngest brother, William of Dover. William appears to have assumed and used the coat-of-arms granted to a Derbyshire cousin. Thomas never
left record of claims to any heraldic honors.

While it is almost certain that Thomas wrote a will, as so many of his family members did, and that is would have been filed with the rest of those written by
members of his guild from London, where their guild had its headquarters, no such document has been located at this time. Thomas was buried 20 Oct 1665 at All
Saints Church. [FHL# 1596357] No burial record has yet been located for Martha, who may have outlived him.

house occupied by his father previously, and possibly the house that his paternal grandmother, Alice Milwarde, received as part of her inheritance from her father.

Thomas's family was recorded in the 1616 Visitation of Kent [Harlean Society Pub. XLII, pg. 31] and later in the 1634 Visitation of London [Harlean Soc. Pub. XV]
as submitted by his youngest brother, William of Dover. William appears to have assumed and used the coat-of-arms granted to a Derbyshire cousin. Thomas never
left record of claims to any heraldic honors.

While it is almost certain that Thomas wrote a will, as so many of his family members did, and that is would have been filed with the rest of those written by
members of his guild from London, where their guild had its headquarters, no such document has been located at this time. Thomas was buried 20 Oct 1665 at All
Saints Church. [FHL# 1596357] No burial record has yet been located for Martha, who may have outlived him.

Thomas married Martha Winston. Martha (daughter of James Winston and Gwenllyan Or Gwelthian Or Welthian Herbert) was born about 1580 in Willington Court, Sandhurst, Gloucestershire, England; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The Winstone / Winston Family of Willington Court Sandhurst, Gloucestershire, England

The first existant parish register of Sandhurst, Gloucestershire, England is a beautiful little book - very small in size compared to others of its day. The first page opens with "Heare followeth the Regester booke of Sandhurst, conteynyng the names of everye such person I have Baptized, Marryed or buryed sence the fforth day of
the Ano Kkg Henrici our ... (edge of page missing) Ano domi 1537 in the year of their Baptising, Marrying and Buriall, in hereafter followeth. " The beginning "H" is illuminated with cartoon-like whimsical faces of two men and a barking dog with swirls of flowers and vines.

It was in this register that the marriage of "Thomas Hurte of Bristoll and Martha Winstone, marr the xxixth october" was recorded in 1599. Looking back in the register 19 years earlier, we find that Martha Winstone was the daughter of James Winstone, gent. of Willington Court. Apparently Thomas Hurte, son of Ralfe Hurt, a successful merchant, guild member and civic officer of Bristol, had cause to reside at Willington Court for the next seven years. We find that his first two children, Phillip Hurtt and Radulph Hurte were baptised at the parish church in Sandhurst. Randulph was also buried there at the age of one month. The following year, the young family had returned to Bristol, where their third son, Roger and fourth son Thomas were baptised at the Church of St. John the Baptist.

Martha Winstone's family had purchased the Willington Court and several parcels of surrounding property in 1514 from the Wroth family, heirs to the Willington family which ended with the childless John de Willington who died in the year "20 Ric II" or 1397. Willington Court originally gained it's name from one Ralph de Willington who became the owner in 1218 during the reign of King Henry III. The Winstone family held the house, lands and a cottage, paying 12 pence in rent to the Crown. [History of Gloucestershire, Abstracts and Manuscripts respecting the County of Gloucester, Thomas D. Fosbrooke, Vol. 1, pgs. 288-292, FHL# 896620]

It is thought by some historians of Gloucestershire that it was the Painswick branch of the Winstone/Winston family that made the purchase, but the exact land transfer document has not been located at this time.

On 23 Nov 1573, the marriage of James Winstone and Gwenllyan (no surname given) was recorded in the Sandhurst register as follows: "James Winstone and Gwenllyan were married the xxiiith daye of November". We next find the baptism on the 27th September 1574 for Mary Winstone, daughter of James Winstone, gent. followed by her burial on th 5th of August 1576. The following year, son Gyles was baptised 7 July 1577 and recorded at Sandhurst. Martha, christened on 10 Nov 1580 apparently completed the family.

The next document of interest is found in the Gloucestershire Inquisitions Post Mortem [Harlean Society Publications, Vol. 9 pgs 66-67, FHL# 962742]. An inquisition post mortem was a legal document werein a landholding family basically filed a lawsuit against themselves in order to clear the title to their lands following the death of the head of family. The inquisition p.m .reads as follows:

James Winstone, gentleman
" Inquisition taken at Gloucester, 2nd September, 9 James I [1611] before John Browne, esq., escheator, after the death of James Winston, Gentleman, by the oath of William Singleton, Abel Angell, William Wilshere, Edward Kiste, Thomas Hill, Henry Mercer, Richard Portman, William Nutte, William Tirrye, Richard Slaughter and William Milton, who say that James Wintson was seised of one capital messuage called Willington's Courte, in Sandhurste, with the appurtenances, and 60 acres of land, 40 acres of meadow, 120 acres of pasture, and 4 acres of wood, with appurtenances in Sandhurst. So seised, the said James Winston, by indenture dated 29th November 30 Elizabeth [1587], and made between himself of the first part, Philip Williams, esq., of the second part, and Thomas Spenseley of the third part, in consideration of his love towards Gwelthian, his wife, Gyles Winston, his son, and Martha Winston, his daughter, agreed with the said Philip and Thomas that he should stand seised of the said tenements to the use of himself and the said Gwelthian for life; after their decease, to the use of the said Giles Winston and his heirs; for default to the use of the heirs male of the said James Winston; for default, to the use of the said Martha and her heirs; and lastly, for default, to the use of the right heirs of the said James Winston. By virtue whereof, and by force of the Statute of Uses, the said James Winston and Gwelthian were seised of the premises as of freehold.

James Winston was likewise seised of one messuage, 5 acres of land, 3 acres of meadow, and 6 acres of pasture, with appurtenances in Sandhurst commonly called Risbies.

All the tenements aforesaid are held of the King as of his manor of Barton Regis, near Gloucester, by fealty only in free socage and the rent of -----. The tenements mentioned in the said indenture are worth per annum, clear, 12 pounds, and the tenements called Risbies are worth per annum, clear, 20 shillings.

James Winston died 4th February, 30 Elizabeth [1588]; Giles Winston as his son and next heir, and was then aged 9 years, 7 months and 25 days; he has taken the issues and profits of the tenements called Risbies from that time until now.

The said Gwelthian still survives at Sandhurste; she has taken the issues and profits of all the tenements first mentioned from the death of the said James Winston until now.

Note: This Inquisition was delivered into Court 11th October, 3 Charles I [1627]. Inq. p.m.3 charles I, No. 131."

It is interesting to note that a considerable length of time had passed since the death of James Winston before this document was written, let alone filed with the court. By the time it was filed, Gwenllyan/Gwelthian had also died and Gyles had returned to Sandhurst to take charge of the property. Turning again to the little Sandhurst
register, we find the burial for "Welthian Hurburt, buried 23 october 1615". Keeping in mind that exact, standardized spelling is a 19th century phenomenon, we can fairly well surmise that Gwenllyan / Gwelthian / Welthian, aka Gwenllyan Herbert was not too long out of Wales. No second marriage has been located for her, and it is highly possible that she followed the Welsh custom of keeping her maiden name.

A marriage for a Gyles Winstone has been located at Much Cowarne, Herefordshire, England to Penelope Walwin, daughter of Nicholas Walwin and Isabell Buryhill on 16 Oct 1600. They had a daughter, Elizabeth, christened 7 Sep 1601 at that same place. Further record of him between the birth of Elizabeth and the time he returned to Willington Court in 1615 has not been ascertained, but we know he had a son and heir, Phillip Winston, born in 1602, who assumed the ownership
following Gyles's death 6 Sep 1662. There is also a Richard Winston who appears in the records of Sandhurst with two marriages and a number of children who may have been a younger son of Gyles.

There is a Gyles Winston who appears for a time at Wheatenhurst near Bristol, who may be this Gyles. A (second?) marriage for him appears in the St. Philip and St. Jacob Church in Bristol on 12 Apr 1613 to Alice Bezaker. He served as church warden at Wheatenhurst and was called a yeoman. E.G.F. Routledge in his handwritten compilation "Winstoneana, 1559-1802" [FHL# 1363778 item 13, pg. 115] gives and interesting insight that may explain what Gyles was doing during this
time. Husbandmen were usually younger sons and sons of younger sons actually working on the land of their parents. A yeoman assumed the supervision of an estate and lending a hand at harvest time and was usually paid in land or produce, but may have been a wage-earner. A gent. was the senior line of a county family and served as a yeoman prior to retirement to a messuage, when he assumed the higher status and title. Gyles was styled a "gent." when he returned to Willington Court.

It has also been noted that there were Winston family connections in the parish of St. Philip and St. Jacob and in the Barton Regis section of Bristol. No connections between James Winstone and other branches of the family have been made at this time and research continues.

Phillip Winston, son of Gyles, married a Joane. He died without heirs and left a will naming several of his cousins, including William Hurte. Mrs. Joane Winston, widow, remarried 15 Oct 1677,to John Guise, Esqr. of Ablode, an estate a short distance southwest of Willington Court. John Gise was buried 16 Jun 1648 at Sandhurst from Gloucester. Around that time, widow Joane "alienated" the Sandhurst properties to the Viney family [ Harlean Mss. # 5013].

One final note on the Sandhurst Winston family: In the Bristol and Gloucester Archeological Society Publication, Vol 28, Transactions for the Year 1905, pg. 496-497. there is a description of the unusual coat-of-arms used by the family. "Sandhurst. A curious blazon: 'per pale gu. and az. 1 a lion ramp. arg. in the dexter paw a rose. . . 2 a tree eradicated vert,' 1672. [Rudder, 650: 'Sa. a lion ramp. arg.
holding in the dexter paw a rose of the second..' This is given in Armories, but not in Papworth. It is possible that it might be a quartered coat of "Sa. a lion ramp. arg." the third quartering of Winston., viz Teithwalch; but I think it is a daubed coat of Winston with a copy of Master. Philip Winston, aged 70 of Willington's Court;
and below Gyles Winston, 1662 aged 85." ( The article then goes on to try and make Gyles out as the son of Sir Henry Winston of Painswick. We know better.) There may be quite a few clues here that will help us determine further family connections.

Notes:

Thomas Hurte, Merchant of Bristol

Thomas Hurte was baptized at All Saints Church, Bristol, Gloucestershire, England 16 January 1570, the fifth child and second son of Raphe Hurte and his wife Alice
Milwarde or Millard. [Parish Register of All Saints, Bristol FHL# 1596357] His older brother, Philip, appears to have deceased before Oct 1613, when Raphe
wrote his will, as Thomas is then named as his eldest son. No apprenticeship records have been located in the Bristol area. As Thomas is known to have been a
grocer and in the same merchants' guild as his father, it is most likely that he was trained by Raphe in the family business at Bristol.

The marriage of "Thomas Hurte of Bristoll and Martha Winstone, marr. The xxixth October" is recorded in the Sandhurst Parish Register in 1599.[FHL# 911289].
Martha was the third and youngest child of James Winstone and his wife Gwenllyan Herbert, whose residence was nearby Willington Court. Thomas and his newly
established family appear to have remained at Martha's home there in Sandhurst parish for several years.

Their first two children, Phillip, baptized 8 Jun 1603, and Radulph, baptized 21 Jan 1606 and buried 19 Feb 1606, were born at Willington Court and recorded in the
Sandhurst Parish Register. By January of 1607/1608, they were back in Bristol, with sons Roger (2 Jan 1607/1608) and Thomas (23 Mar 1610/1611 - d. By 1615)
being baptized in the church of St. John the Baptist. [FHL# 1565938] Daughter Alice was baptized 19 Feb 1612 in the old family parish of All Saints, [FHL#
1596357] as were the remaining seven children: William (23 Jul 1614) Thomas (17 Sep 1615), Hester or Ester (21 Dec 1616), Ann (8 Oct 1612), Martha (6 Jun
1625), Marye (30 Mar 1627) and Myriald (29 Mar 1630).

In 1612, Thomas is named in his brother, Roger's will as overseer or administrator of his estate, along with a friend, William Jones, also of the Merchants' Guild.
[FHL# 92051 - Prerogative Court of Canterbury - folio 84 Fenner, 1612] On 11 Sept. 1616, Thomas Hurte, grocer, was fined 12 pence in a disagreement with another

Roger was sheriff of Bristol at one time, and appears to have been a rather colorful character. Daughter Alice Millard was left the lion's share of his will just before

Notes:

Raphe/Ralphe/Ralfe Hurte
Mayor of Bristol - 1602/1603
Gloucestershire, England

There has been a significant amount of confusion in published works concerning the father of Thomas Hurt of Bristol and grandfather of immigrant ancestor William
Hurt, Sr. In the parish register of All Saints Church, one of the seventeen ancient parishes of Bristol, Gloucestershire, England, we find the baptism of "Thomas Hurte,
son of Ralfe Hurt, 16th Januarie 1570". Thomas was the fifth child born to merchant-grocer Ralfe Hurt and his wife Alice Milwarde or Millard in a family of thirteen
children. Only five of these appear to have lived to maturity.

Ralfe was born prior to the begining of the Ashbourne, Derbyshire, England parish register somewhere between 1539 and 1545, the son of Robert Hurt, Sr. and Ellyn
or Helena Hurd of Ashbourne. We find the connection between his home in that town and his move to Bristol, Gloucestershire in the Calendar of the Bristol
Apprentice Book, 1532-1565,, part IIi, Bistol Record Society Publication, vol. 43, pg. 35, entry #446 [FHL # 942.41/B2 B46] which reads as follows under the year
1555:
"446. August 14: Ralph s of Robert Hurton Ashbourne Derby fishmonger to Philip Langley grocer [no wf given] for 8 yrs. App to have at end 20/-f 4/6 etc." It would
appear that Robert Hurt(on) had chosen to apprentice his younger son to a business associate in the merchant community. Records show that he made a wise decision.

Philip Langley was a prime mover and shaker in the city of Bristol. A grocer - possibly just having completed his journeyman work and emerging as a Master in the
Grocer's Guild (general merchants in those times), and not yet married, Philip Langley married Mary Pepwall in St. Nicholas parish church, Bristol, 11 Sept. 1557
and subsequently took on several more young apprentices to train as his business grew. These included John Hewghes, Edmond Maddock, John Wallie and John
Roberts. In 1566/1567 he served the city of Bristol as sheriff. In 1581/82 he filled the office of Mayor of Bristol. During the following years he was listed as one of
the city aldermen until the time when he was elected Member of Parliament during the final years of the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. ["The Maire of Bristowe is
Kalendar: It's List of Civic Officers Collated with Contemporary Legal Mss.", John Latimer, Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucester Archealogical Society for the
Year 1903, pgs. 108-137] and [Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucester Arch. Soc. for the Year 1894/1895, pgs. 130-139]

Philip certainly stood as a role model for young Ralfe. In late 1563, he completed his training under Master Langley, and appears to have become a business
associate, as he and the Langley family remained close friends. He was named in Philip Langley's will dated 5 June 1587 as "my good friend", and his name also
appears on several other Langley family legal documents as a friend of the Langley children or as a witness. [Great Orphan Book and Book of Wills Abstracts;
Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucester Archealogical Soc., suppl. 2, 1886 pg. 465-468, FHL# 874366]

Somewhere between 1560 and early 1563, Ralfe Hurt married Alice Mylwarde or Millard, youngest living daughter of Roger Phillpott alias Mylwarde and his wife,
Matilda. Roger Phillpott als. Mylwarde served as Sheriff or Bristol in 1550/1551 and wrote a lengthly will detailing a list of items in Alice's trouseau, her dowry,
wedding clothes, jewelry, household goods and a house. The will was dated 25 Jun 1560 and probated in London 24 Oct 1560. [Prerogative Court of Canterbury
Probates - folio 47 Mellershe, FHL# 91938]. Note: all guild member's wills were probated through their guild headquarters at London in the PCC.

Ralfe and Alice appear to have married shortly after her father's death, (as she was obviously preparing for marriage at that time,) but possibly before the beginning
of the All Saints parish register, which commenced in the latter part of the year 1560. The house that Roger Phillpott bought from Mr. William Younge and left to
Alice in his will may be the "house on Highe and Broad street" that is shown as a family residence for Ralfe and later for Thomas and Martha's family. This house is
also mentioned at the beginning of the All Saints parish accounts as being tithed at 1 pound 40 shillings on 20 January 1597.[FHL# 1596357] There is also mention of
a similar property in the will of John Whyte, merchant "of the citie of Bristowe" dated 26 nov 1569 and proved at London 1 May 1570 which mentions "also to him,
and his heirs, a tenement sitting and beinge in the highe streate in the farm and occupation of one Ralph Hurte." [Bristol Wills 1379-1792, Transactions of the Bristol
and Gloucestershire Arch. Soc., pg. 202-203, FHL# 942.41 C4bg.] In the Mayor's Audit 1627-1628 there is listed "Item: a tenement in Highe streete in the tenure of
Thomas Hurt in fee farme - ii pounds - vj shillings - viii pence". If this is indeed the same house as Ralfe resided in, the taxes certainly went up. One small note of
interest; the Langley family still lived two doors away from the Hurt household. [Mayor's Audit 1627-1628, Mr. John Gonninge, Mayor, found in City Chamberlain's
Accounts in the 16th and 17th Centuries, Bristol Record Society Publication for 1966, vol. 24, pg. 88 FHL# 942.41/B2 B4b].

Ralfe Hurte's name appears on numerous guild documents during his term as Sheriff of Bristol. He appears on page after page of legal proceedings for the
"Fellowshipe of Sopmakers and Chaundlers" in the Bristol Record Society' Publication, 1940, vol. 10 Proceedings of the Company of Soapmakers, 1562-1642.
[FHL# 942.41/B2 B4b]

As Mayor in 1602/1603, he is referred to as "the right worshippee Raph Hurte being then mayor of the same citie" in administering the oath of office of Master in that
guild to newly advanced journeymen soapmakers, approving city expenditures to that guild for services rendered, overseeing the legality of apprenticeship contracts,
etc.

One annotation on the Calendar of the Mayors of Bristol shows all was not business as usual: "In this yeare in the mounth of Julie 1603, began the greatest plage that
ever was in Bristoll, which continewed untill the mounth of Januarie 1604, and died the number of 3,000 and more." The parish registers of those months specifically
list those who died of the plague, and none of the good mayor's family members are found on those lists within the city. This suggests that Ralfe Hurt, like his mentor,
Philip Langley, had a country estate where the family fled for safety.

So far, records of this country residence have not yet been located. Philip Langley's will lists properties " a dwelling on highe streate (the one two doors away from
the Hurt home), a messuage on that same street, two tenements in St. Nicholas St., two tenements in St. Mary Port St., four tenements in Wynestreate as well as lands
and houses elsewhere in Bristol, Somerset, Gloucester and Monmouth and elsewhere in the realm of England." Further research may yet turn up records of the Hurt
family in these neighborhoods. [Notes on Bristol Wills, Transactions of the Bristol Record Society, pg. 265-268, FHL# 942.41/B2 S2w]

Ralfe and his wife, Alice, apprenticed William Townsend on 17 Feb 1581 and Walter Woolfield on 13 Sep 1581. [Bristol Apprentice Books, 1576-1586, vol. 3
FHL# 942.41/B2 62m] This is the last record we have of Alice. She died sometime between that date and 1610, but no burial record has been located. A younger son,
Roger, left a marriage record and will indicating that he was born sometime in the mid-1570's. He was not christened in Bristol. Both Ralfe's will and the Visitations
[Kent-1619 and London-1636] show William Hurt of Dover and Bishopsgate Ward London to be their youngest son. He was born around 1580. While he left a great
number of records during his lifetime, we have not yet located his baptismal record. Roger and William were born and baptised elsewhere. Possibly when these
entries are located, we will find Alice's burial and the location of the country estate.

In the neighboring parish of St. Nicholas, we find the burial of son, Roger and nearby, the burial of "Maude Hurt, wife of Ralph Hurt, Alderman, buried 16 Februarie
1611". Again, no second marriage for the good Alderman has been found. Was Maude a second wife - or was this Ralfe's affectionate nickname for Alice? [Parish
Register of St. Nicholas Church, Bristol, Gloucestershire, England FHL# 1596630]

During the later years of his life, "Radulphus Hurte, Aldermanus" was assigned to oversee shipping from the port of Bristol for the merchant interests of that city. He
was listed on 31 May 1605 as one of the city's 97 merchants who made up the Bristol members of the Spanish Company, created by letters of patent on that date by
King James I, being a new grant of incorporation to the English merchants trading with Spain and Portugal. [Records Relating to the Society of Merchant Venturers of
the City of Bristol in the 17th Century, Bristol Record Society Publication, vol. 17, pg. 2-5, FHL# 942.41/B2 B4b] He was one of the charter members/officers of the
reorganized Company of Bristol Merchant Adventurers on 31 Dec 1605, which company disassociated itself from the London group similarly organized under the
King James I patent.

Ralfe Hurt wrote his will 28 Oct 1613. It was probated 19 Oct 1615 in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury [folio 88 Rudd]. He was buried 19 June 1615 in All
Saints Church in Bristol. His eldest living son, Thomas, was his executor.

We also have the will of Ralfe's fourth son and eighth child, Roger Hurtt, which was dated 1 Sep 1612 and probated in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury at
London, being a guild-member will, by Margarete Hurte, executrix, on 27 Oct 1612. This will has the irascible, cranky tone of a testator who was suffering from a
rapidly progressive disease. Roger died in his mid-20's or early 30's, having been married only three years. He tells us he was a merchant of Bristol and that he left
no children. His wife, the former Margaret Vawer, came from a noteable merchant family in that same city and re-married soon after his death. His will does provide
us with a considerable amount of information regarding other family members and relationships.

Raphe Hurte

Witnesses herunto Richard Winter Richard Gente[Moore_from ancestry_09262007.FTW]

Raphe/Ralphe/Ralfe Hurte
Mayor of Bristol - 1602/1603
Gloucestershire, England

There has been a significant amount of confusion in published works concerning the father of Thomas Hurt of Bristol and grandfather of immigrant ancestor William
Hurt, Sr. In the parish register of All Saints Church, one of the seventeen ancient parishes of Bristol, Gloucestershire, England, we find the baptism of "Thomas Hurte,
son of Ralfe Hurt, 16th Januarie 1570". Thomas was the fifth child born to merchant-grocer Ralfe Hurt and his wife Alice Milwarde or Millard in a family of thirteen
children. Only five of these appear to have lived to maturity.

Ralfe was born prior to the begining of the Ashbourne, Derbyshire, England parish register somewhere between 1539 and 1545, the son of Robert Hurt, Sr. and Ellyn
or Helena Hurd of Ashbourne. We find the connection between his home in that town and his move to Bristol, Gloucestershire in the Calendar of the Bristol
Apprentice Book, 1532-1565,, part IIi, Bistol Record Society Publication, vol. 43, pg. 35, entry #446 [FHL # 942.41/B2 B46] which reads as follows under the year
1555:
"446. August 14: Ralph s of Robert Hurton Ashbourne Derby fishmonger to Philip Langley grocer [no wf given] for 8 yrs. App to have at end 20/-f 4/6 etc." It would
appear that Robert Hurt(on) had chosen to apprentice his younger son to a business associate in the merchant community. Records show that he made a wise decision.

Philip Langley was a prime mover and shaker in the city of Bristol. A grocer - possibly just having completed his journeyman work and emerging as a Master in the
Grocer's Guild (general merchants in those times), and not yet married, Philip Langley married Mary Pepwall in St. Nicholas parish church, Bristol, 11 Sept. 1557
and subsequently took on several more young apprentices to train as his business grew. These included John Hewghes, Edmond Maddock, John Wallie and John
Roberts. In 1566/1567 he served the city of Bristol as sheriff. In 1581/82 he filled the office of Mayor of Bristol. During the following years he was listed as one of
the city aldermen until the time when he was elected Member of Parliament during the final years of the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. ["The Maire of Bristowe is
Kalendar: It's List of Civic Officers Collated with Contemporary Legal Mss.", John Latimer, Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucester Archealogical Society for the
Year 1903, pgs. 108-137] and [Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucester Arch. Soc. for the Year 1894/1895, pgs. 130-139]

Philip certainly stood as a role model for young Ralfe. In late 1563, he completed his training under Master Langley, and appears to have become a business
associate, as he and the Langley family remained close friends. He was named in Philip Langley's will dated 5 June 1587 as "my good friend", and his name also
appears on several other Langley family legal documents as a friend of the Langley children or as a witness. [Great Orphan Book and Book of Wills Abstracts;
Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucester Archealogical Soc., suppl. 2, 1886 pg. 465-468, FHL# 874366]

Somewhere between 1560 and early 1563, Ralfe Hurt married Alice Mylwarde or Millard, youngest living daughter of Roger Phillpott alias Mylwarde and his wife,
Matilda. Roger Phillpott als. Mylwarde served as Sheriff or Bristol in 1550/1551 and wrote a lengthly will detailing a list of items in Alice's trouseau, her dowry,
wedding clothes, jewelry, household goods and a house. The will was dated 25 Jun 1560 and probated in London 24 Oct 1560. [Prerogative Court of Canterbury
Probates - folio 47 Mellershe, FHL# 91938]. Note: all guild member's wills were probated through their guild headquarters at London in the PCC.

Ralfe and Alice appear to have married shortly after her father's death, (as she was obviously preparing for marriage at that time,) but possibly before the beginning
of the All Saints parish register, which commenced in the latter part of the year 1560. The house that Roger Phillpott bought from Mr. William Younge and left to
Alice in his will may be the "house on Highe and Broad street" that is shown as a family residence for Ralfe and later for Thomas and Martha's family. This house is
also mentioned at the beginning of the All Saints parish accounts as being tithed at 1 pound 40 shillings on 20 January 1597.[FHL# 1596357] There is also mention of
a similar property in the will of John Whyte, merchant "of the citie of Bristowe" dated 26 nov 1569 and proved at London 1 May 1570 which mentions "also to him,
and his heirs, a tenement sitting and beinge in the highe streate in the farm and occupation of one Ralph Hurte." [Bristol Wills 1379-1792, Transactions of the Bristol
and Gloucestershire Arch. Soc., pg. 202-203, FHL# 942.41 C4bg.] In the Mayor's Audit 1627-1628 there is listed "Item: a tenement in Highe streete in the tenure of
Thomas Hurt in fee farme - ii pounds - vj shillings - viii pence". If this is indeed the same house as Ralfe resided in, the taxes certainly went up. One small note of
interest; the Langley family still lived two doors away from the Hurt household. [Mayor's Audit 1627-1628, Mr. John Gonninge, Mayor, found in City Chamberlain's
Accounts in the 16th and 17th Centuries, Bristol Record Society Publication for 1966, vol. 24, pg. 88 FHL# 942.41/B2 B4b].

Ralfe Hurte's name appears on numerous guild documents during his term as Sheriff of Bristol. He appears on page after page of legal proceedings for the
"Fellowshipe of Sopmakers and Chaundlers" in the Bristol Record Society' Publication, 1940, vol. 10 Proceedings of the Company of Soapmakers, 1562-1642.
[FHL# 942.41/B2 B4b]

As Mayor in 1602/1603, he is referred to as "the right worshippee Raph Hurte being then mayor of the same citie" in administering the oath of office of Master in that
guild to newly advanced journeymen soapmakers, approving city expenditures to that guild for services rendered, overseeing the legality of apprenticeship contracts,
etc.

One annotation on the Calendar of the Mayors of Bristol shows all was not business as usual: "In this yeare in the mounth of Julie 1603, began the greatest plage that
ever was in Bristoll, which continewed untill the mounth of Januarie 1604, and died the number of 3,000 and more." The parish registers of those months specifically
list those who died of the plague, and none of the good mayor's family members are found on those lists within the city. This suggests that Ralfe Hurt, like his mentor,
Philip Langley, had a country estate where the family fled for safety.

So far, records of this country residence have not yet been located. Philip Langley's will lists properties " a dwelling on highe streate (the one two doors away from
the Hurt home), a messuage on that same street, two tenements in St. Nicholas St., two tenements in St. Mary Port St., four tenements in Wynestreate as well as lands
and houses elsewhere in Bristol, Somerset, Gloucester and Monmouth and elsewhere in the realm of England." Further research may yet turn up records of the Hurt
family in these neighborhoods. [Notes on Bristol Wills, Transactions of the Bristol Record Society, pg. 265-268, FHL# 942.41/B2 S2w]

Ralfe and his wife, Alice, apprenticed William Townsend on 17 Feb 1581 and Walter Woolfield on 13 Sep 1581. [Bristol Apprentice Books, 1576-1586, vol. 3
FHL# 942.41/B2 62m] This is the last record we have of Alice. She died sometime between that date and 1610, but no burial record has been located. A younger son,
Roger, left a marriage record and will indicating that he was born sometime in the mid-1570's. He was not christened in Bristol. Both Ralfe's will and the Visitations
[Kent-1619 and London-1636] show William Hurt of Dover and Bishopsgate Ward London to be their youngest son. He was born around 1580. While he left a great
number of records during his lifetime, we have not yet located his baptismal record. Roger and William were born and baptised elsewhere. Possibly when these
entries are located, we will find Alice's burial and the location of the country estate.

In the neighboring parish of St. Nicholas, we find the burial of son, Roger and nearby, the burial of "Maude Hurt, wife of Ralph Hurt, Alderman, buried 16 Februarie
1611". Again, no second marriage for the good Alderman has been found. Was Maude a second wife - or was this Ralfe's affectionate nickname for Alice? [Parish
Register of St. Nicholas Church, Bristol, Gloucestershire, England FHL# 1596630]

During the later years of his life, "Radulphus Hurte, Aldermanus" was assigned to oversee shipping from the port of Bristol for the merchant interests of that city. He
was listed on 31 May 1605 as one of the city's 97 merchants who made up the Bristol members of the Spanish Company, created by letters of patent on that date by
King James I, being a new grant of incorporation to the English merchants trading with Spain and Portugal. [Records Relating to the Society of Merchant Venturers of
the City of Bristol in the 17th Century, Bristol Record Society Publication, vol. 17, pg. 2-5, FHL# 942.41/B2 B4b] He was one of the charter members/officers of the
reorganized Company of Bristol Merchant Adventurers on 31 Dec 1605, which company disassociated itself from the London group similarly organized under the
King James I patent.

Ralfe Hurt wrote his will 28 Oct 1613. It was probated 19 Oct 1615 in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury [folio 88 Rudd]. He was buried 19 June 1615 in All
Saints Church in Bristol. His eldest living son, Thomas, was his executor.

We also have the will of Ralfe's fourth son and eighth child, Roger Hurtt, which was dated 1 Sep 1612 and probated in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury at
London, being a guild-member will, by Margarete Hurte, executrix, on 27 Oct 1612. This will has the irascible, cranky tone of a testator who was suffering from a
rapidly progressive disease. Roger died in his mid-20's or early 30's, having been married only three years. He tells us he was a merchant of Bristol and that he left
no children. His wife, the former Margaret Vawer, came from a noteable merchant family in that same city and re-married soon after his death. His will does provide
us with a considerable amount of information regarding other family members and relationships.
