INTRODUCTION
In the following pages I have attempted to place on record
what I have been able to ascertain about the Spedding Family
from researches limited both by time and means, but I fear
that my efforts have fallen far short of my original idea.
The principal objects of my work have been : —
(1) To collect, rapidly, as complete and accurate a record
as possible of the births, marriages, and deaths of
members of the Spedding Family, giving the parish
or church where each took place.
(2) To show, as far as could be proved, the connection
between the various branches now living.
(3) To illustrate my work with any old family portraits,
autographs, and memorial windows and tablets,
which would be of interest to the family generally,
and to the future generations in particular.
(4) To add outline pedigrees of interest of such families
as, by marriage, became allied to the Spcddings,
where not already given in "Burke," and other
standard works.
The result of my labours has produced an essentially modern
account of the family, and beyond unearthing several earlier
branches, which will be found in Chap. I. (but which I have
as yet been unable to mould into shape), the actual early
genealogy of the family has still to be written.
I feel, however, that a base for " future operations " has
been established.
I am chiefly indebted to Mr. Carlisle J. S. Spedding for
lending me the MSS. Pedigree of the Family, written by his
grandfather, from which I obtained many details of value,
and also for his great interest at all times in my work, and his
continuous advice and help throughout.
It would be impossible to name all those who have so kindly
helped me, but my thanks are specially due to the late Colonel
R. T. Wolfe, the Eev. H. B. Swanzy, Miss Deey, Mrs.
Squarey, Mrs. Mostyn, the Baroness von Hiigel, and Mr.
W, N. Thompson, for the information they have given; to
Mr. C. A. Benn, Mr. H. Frowde, Mr. E. H. Benn, the Rev.
E. G. Brownrigg, Major Carlisle, and Colonel Littledale, for
kindly lending me pedigrees of their families ; to Mrs. Walker,
Miss Quayle, Miss S. F. Spedding, and Mr. M. H. Quayle
for permitting me to reproduce portraits in their pos-
session ; to Mr. J. R. Blake for his excellent drawings of the
Arms of Spedding, Brownrigg, Benn, and Froude ; to the
Eev. W. G. D. Fletcher for reviewing my Royal Descents;
to Messrs. Elliott and Fry, London, for permission to use their
copyright photograph of the late James Anthony Froude ; and
to Messrs. Thom and Co. for the careful manner in which they
have produced this book.
I have also to acknowledge information derived from the
works of Burke, Foster, Fox-Davies, and Crisp; and Bernau's
" Intcrnaiional Genealogical Directory " has been a great
help to me.
I should be most grateful for any additions or corrections in
the present work, and for any changes which may take place
in the future.

CHAPTER I.
EARLY SPEDDINGS IN WESTMORLAND AND
CUMBERLAND.
Sir Bernard Burke iu his Lauded Gentry referring to tlie
Spedding Family states : — ' ' This family which came originally
from Ireland was afterwards resident for some generations in
Scotland. The first who settled in Cumberland about the year
1685, was Edward Spedding, who m. Sara Carlisle, a co-heir,
&c."
With all due deference to so able an authority on Family
History as Sir Bernard Burke, I fear he has erred in the assertion
that the family originated in Ireland, and afterwards settled in
Cumberland in 1685. In fact, the opposite is almost conclu-
sively proved, firstly, by extracts from old County Histories,
secondly, by Wills, kc, proved at Carlisle as early as 1603, and
lastly, by the fact that no records are to be found in Ireland, as
far as I am aware, of the existence of the family on that side of
the Irish Sea prior to 1746, when Henry Spedding, grandson of
the above Edward and Sarah, settled in Dublin, from whom de-
scended the Speddings of Ballynamudagh, Windgates, co. Wick-
low.
Nicholas and Burn, in their " ILhtorti of Cumherhmd and West-
mnrhnxl " (Vol. I., page 389), treating of the parish of Kirkby-
thore, CO. Westmorland, state: — "In the reign of Queen Eliza-
beth, in the accounts of the profits of the Rectory of Kirkbytbore
in the years 1572 and 1573, there is set down a deduction to Sir
John Spedding, curate of Milburn, for each year, £4 13.<t. \d."
From the year 1600 onwards (I have not ascertained whether any
were proved before that date, but I feel sure there were) various
Wills, &c., were proved at Carlisle under the names of Spedding,
Speding, and Speddinge, of different parishes near Appleby in
Westmorland, such as Bongate, Bolton, Kingsmealburn, Knock,
Colby, Longraarton, and Kirkbythore, and also of the following
parishes in West Cumberland: Skirwith, Kirkland, Milburn, and
Culgaith.
Of thfcse the majority seem to have been yeomen or small land-
owners. The Speddings of Skirwith prove Wills almost consecu-
tively from 1600-1760, as also the Speddings of Colby.
About 1700 various members of the family appear to have
moved across to Whitehaven and its adjoining parishes, for here
the name occurs frequently at Whitehaven, Hensingham, Dis-
tington, and other places.
Here they appear to have rendered valuable services to the
Lowther Family. The first mention is in a rental of Sir John
Lowther, of Whitehaven, 1697, where the tenant of Akebank, or
possibly Aikbank, near Whitehaven, was Edward Spedding, for
a term of 21 years.
Then John Spedding, eldest son of Edward, was Land Steward
to Sir James Lowther, and his brother, Carlisle Spedding, was
chief engineer and overseer of the Mines at Whitehaven. Both
these are mentioned in the Will of Sir James Lowther in 1754,
who gives "unto John Spedding, my Steward, £1,000 for his
long and faithful services, and for like account I give to his
brother, Carlisle Spedding, £500."
In 1722, Mathew Spedding mentions in his Will his cousins
John and Carlisle Spedding, appointing the former his trustee.
From the above brief reKvmf it wovild appear that the Speddings
settled in Cumberland and Westmorland certainly in the six-
teenth century, if not earlier, and it is probable that the family
originated there, and that later one of them, Henry, crossed to
Ireland, where he appears to have settled, while at the same time
several of his cousins came over for educational and other pur-
poses. Rev. Thomas Spedding was at Trinity College, Dublin,
about this time, and his brother, James, afterwards of Summer-
grove, was in Dublin on business.

THE SPEDDING FAMILY.
Spedding, of Skirwith.
The first Will proved at Carlisle, co. Cumberland, after 1600,
is that of a certain Anthony Spedding, of Skirwith, Kirkland,
CO. Cumberland, in 1602, and from that and other Wills of the
same time and place the following is apparently the lineage of
this branch of the Family: —
SPEDDING, of Skirwith, Kirkland, in the co. of Cumber-
land, married and had three sons and one daughter, as follows: —
I. Anthony Spedding, of Kirkland, co. Cumberland, " single-

desires that his body may be buried in Kirkland Church-
yard. Died 1602 ; unmarried.

CO. Cumberland, m. Jane, dau. of , and d. in 1610.

of the Speddings, of Brackenbar: —

CHAPTER IV.
SPEDDING OF BALLYNAMUDAGH, WINDGATES, CO.
WICKLOW, IRELAND.
The fourth sou of John Spedding, of Whitehaven, co. Cumber-
land, by his wife, Ann Richardson (see Chapter II. )> was: —
Henry Spedding, of College Green, Dublin. b. at
Whitehaven, co. Cumberland, 1720. He went over
to Ireland about the middle of the ISth century,
and became well known by his racehorses, " Irish
Hero " and " The Pothereen Mare," and others, about
which there are several legends.* He m. firstly, Eliza-
beth, dau. of , and had issue: —
(1) Ann Spedding, who was buried at St. Andrew's
Church, Dublin, 20 Aug., 1746.
* Whether Henry Spedding ever pos.sessed much wealth is uncertain, but
of tiiree things there is little doubt. Fir-stly, he had several race horses of
value : secondly, he was fond of ganiblinsr, and laying wagers for high stakes :
and lastly, when he died, he did not leave much to his heirs. The traditions
connected with him and his horses are nimxerous and not without interest.
On one occasion he laid a bet of £10-5 a side that liis famous horse, the
" Pothereen Mare " would cover 200 miles on the Cmragh race-course in 26
hours. The mare accomplished the fe; t. doing 100 miles the first day in about
12} hours, and another 100 on the second day in 12^ hom-s. The horse was
ridden by the Earl of Antrim's stable boy. An account of this may be found
in the " London Magazine" or Gentlemen's Monthly InteUigence for April, 1753,
on page 223, as follows : —
" Curragh.
" Wednesday, 4th April, 1753.
" A black cropt mare, belonging to Mr. Spedding, went over the Curragh
100 miles in about 12 hours and a half, and the day before 100 miles over
the same ground, in 12 horns and a quarter, by which she won a match
of 100 guineas a side, between a gentleman and Mr. Spedding. The mare
was allowed 2G hours to go the 200 miles, but performed it in about 25.
A little boj' belonging to the Rt. Hon. the Earl of Antrim, rode her the
two days. 'Tis thought the mare \vi\\ do well."
There is also a legend in the family that on one occasion when the " Pothereen
Miirc " was going to race, he took his wife's rosary (who was said to be a Roman
f'iitholic) and put it round the horse's neck, and that she won the race.
Some speculation exists as to why Henry Spedding called his son Demoivi-e,
or as it is sometimes spelt in documents— Demoiver. One tradition says that
Henrv had a French horse called D'Moivre, and that he called his son after it.
Another theory, which is infinitely more probable, is that he was called after
Domoivre's " T?heory of Chances," a French work on which Henry Spedding
placed much faith. Whatever the derivation of the name was Demoivre Spedding
would not have it perpetuated, and is said to have left his ciuse on any of hia
29
He m. secondly, circa, 1750, Lucy FitzGerald
cousin of James, 1st Duke of Leinster, who d. 30
March, 1773, and was buried at St. Andrew's Church,
Dublin. lie d. at Kilcullen, co. Kildare, 29 March,
children who called any of their sons after him, and this seeitis to be borne out by
fact, as there is no other actual Dcmoivre in tlie family, the nearest attemiit
to it being a granflson of Denioivre Speclding whose baptismal certificate shows
his name as " Demoiara Spedding," but who was I believe later called Demoivre.
An extract from the "Universal Advertiser" for Thiirsday, I4th March,
17ii4, contains an advertisement about Henry v'?pedding's " Coalition Colt" at
Castlebellingham, dated 7th March, I7r>4, and states that he purchased the colt
froni Sir Marmaduke Wyvil, ii\ the Spring of 1753, for 400 guineas. The horse'-s
pedigree is given as below : —
" This is to Certify that the bay colt which I sold to Mr. Spedding,
" by the name of the " Coalition Colt" was bred by me, and got by tlie
" Godolphin Arabian, and out of an own sister to Antelope, which was
" got by Balgratle the Second, which got Shrimp, Volunteer, Bashaw,
" Garnet. Primate, and Creeper. Antelope's dam was got by a son of
" Old Tiller out of Volunteer's dam. Volunteer's dam was got by the
" Bartlet Clulders, her dam by the said Duke of Devonshire's Arabian, out
" of a daughter of the famous Pelham Bay Barb, which mare was full
" sister to the Duke of Somerset's Westbury, which had the wliip at New-
" market.
" (Signed) Marmaduke Wyvil."
The following extraordinary letter and epitaph may be found in the " Grand
magazine" or Universal Intelligence, and Monthly Chronicle for May, 1759: —
To the Publisher.
Sir, — Having read of the death of Mr. Henry Spedding, I have taken
the liberty of sending you the following lines, which I hope you'll publisli
in your next : it would be a pity a man so remarkable in life, should steal
out of it without an epitaph : j'oiu- compliance will much oblige man}-
of your readers, and especially,
your most obedient humble servant,
G. K.
May 10th, 1759.
" Beneath this stone Hal Spedding lies at last,
" Compell'd by fate to stand that dreadful cast,
" Death shakes the box, and casts a wishful eye,
" Upon the stakes, then slyly cogs a die,
" Robs him at one deep nick of all his store,
" Of all he ever rob'd mankind before.
" The game is done, and his last cards are play'd
" His spirit's fled to Pluto's gloomy shade,
" Deprived of all he ever yet poss'd
" Sure now within the box the bones may rest."
Whether anyone ever put up this epitaph to his memory cannot be said,
as he was buried at St. Andrew's Church, Dubhn, 2nfl May, 1759, and in reply
to a recent letter to the \icar of that Church, asking whether there was any me-
morial tablet to the members of the Spedding Family buried there, I was informed
that the old chmch was totally destroyed by hre in 1860, and all monuments
perished with it.
There is to this day in the possession of this branch of the family an old
china bowl, which tradition .says was tlmce filled with sovereigns, the winnings
of the " Pothereen Mare," and the descendants of Henry Spedding — DemoivTe
and his son, WilUam Spedding— are said to have been christened from tliis bowl,
which is now known as the " Spedding Christening Bowl."

CHAPTER V.
SPEDDING, OF SUMMERGROVE.
The fourth and youngest son of Edward Spedding, of White-
haven, CO. Cumberland, by his wife, Sara Carlisle (see Chapter
II.), was : —
Carlisle Spedding,^- of Whitehaven, b. at Whitehaven, co.
Cumberland, 10 Sept., 1695. He was Agent to Sir James
Lowther, of Whitehaven. He m. at Holy Trinity Church,
Whitehaven, on 24 April, 1716, Sarah, dau. of Edward
and Jane Towerson, who was h. 30 April, 1696, and d. 10
July, 1771. He was killed at Whitehaven, 8 Aug., 1755,
by an explosion of firedamp in one of the mines. They
both lie buried at Holy Trinity Church, Whitehaven, where
there is a monument erected to their memory by their son,
James Spedding, of whom hereafter. They had issue: —
1. John Spedding, h. at Whitehaven, 3 May, 1717. He
d. 9 Nov., 1719, and was buried at Holy Trinity
Church, Whitehaven, 11 Nov., 1719.
* Carlisle Spedding was a celebrated Engineer in the town of Whitehaven, co.
Cumberland, and was noted for his skill, perseverance, and ready ingenuity.
The Monthly Magazine of 1817 states that " Cumberland has the merit of the
discovery of gasUghts, by Mr. Spedding, of Whitehaven, Agent to Sir James
Lowther, and the town of Whitehaven was the first to be hghted by gas from the
coal pits by pii^es." Concerning the same subject WheUaiUs History of Cumberland,
1800, states : — " About the middle of last century (i.e., about 1750) Mr. Spedding,
colliery agent, lighted his office by gas led from the pits by pipes, and he offered
to lay on a su])ply for the town, but his offer was not accepted." According to
the Monthly Magazine above cjuoted, the local authorities discovered the value
anfl advantage of this offer later on.
Under the patronage, and at the expense of Sir James Lowther, CarUsle
Spedding greatly inx])roved the coal mines of Whitehaven, and to him may ahnost
entirely be attributed the success of these valuable works, which were a source of
immense fortune to Sir James Lowther.
In order to learn the best system of mining, he is said to have gone to Newcastle
and engaged himself as a common labourer, and his im]iortance was only discovered
when anxious enquiries were made concerning his safety after a colliery accident.
Recognising the difficulties and dangers of lighting the mines when they were in a
tlangcrous state from the presence of " firedamp," he invented a primitive Davy-
lamp with steel wheel and flints on the following principle : — A man used to turn
by a handle, a disc of steel with great velocity against a block of flint, and the
constant showers of sparks thus produced were supposed to be incapable of
igniting the gas. This machine is said to be still in existence, but, imfortunately,
it did not ])reveut him losing his life by an explosion of gas in one of the mines on
8th August, 1755.

* The following lines are attributed to the pen of the Rev. Thomas Spedding,
on the sign of the " Horse and Lamb " over the gateway to the Temple : —
As by the Templar's Holds you go
The Horse and Lamb displayed
In emblematic figures show
The merits of their trade.
Their cUents may infer from these
How just is their profession
The Lamb — sets forth their innocence.
The Horse — their expedition.
" Oh ! happy people — happy Isle "
May neighljoiu-ing nations say.
Where you get Justice without guile.
And Law without delay.
The Answer.
Deluded men, these Holds forego.
Nor trust these cunning elves
These artful emblems serve to show
The Clients, not themselves.
'Tis ah ! a trick, 'tis ah ! a sham
By wliich they mean to cheat you
You'll find yourselves the harmless Lamb
And they — the Wolves that eat you.
Nor let the dream of no delay
To these dark courts misguide you
You are the Showy Horse — and they
The Jockeys that will ride you !

•iBRcended, settled at an early ])eriod at Cartmell-in-Furness, co. Lancaster, where,
after residing some generations, Thomas Harrington became attainted in the
rebellion of Martin Swartz, 2nd Henry VII., and lost his lands in Cartmell by
forfeiture, dying without issue. His nephew, Thomas Harrington, dwelt at Wollay,
or VVooloak, in Cumberland, and died in 1542, leaving a son, James Harrington, who
married Grace, daur. of Lancelot Lancaster, of Stockhridge, from the issue of which
marriage the above Elisabeth Harrington is descended, and this branch may be
considered extinct, by the death, in 1836, of her first cousin, Robert Harrington,
M.D., of Carlisle.

CHAPTER VI.
VARIOUS SPEDDINGS OF YORKSHIRE, DURHAM, &o.
The following short pedigrees of various branches of the Sped-
ding Family are recorded as they have been furnished by ths
members of families concerned, and in the majority of cases have
not been verified with the parish registers or other local documents
quoted. So far the attempt to connect them with the main stem
has proved unsuccessful, but it is hoped by thus recording them
some future genealogist in the family may be able to ascertain
the connecting link.
The descent of Charles Spedding, the famous Engineer, who is
mentioned in Mr. E. F. Knight's " Where three Empires meet,"
is apparently from a Yorkshire branch of the Family, who have
been settled at Gilling for several generations. According to mem-
bers of the family now living, an old box of family documents and
papers covering some 350 years was accidentally destroyed by fire
a few years ago, so that without an extensive search in the Public
Record Offices and local Registers no definite dates of marriages,
&c., are available, and the pedigx-ee is therefore only given from
Mr. Charles Spedding's great-grandfather, who was
Francis Spedding, of Gilling, Richmond, co. Yorks, who m. Mary
Crawford (who d. 1828), and had issue, seventeen children, of
whom the following are some. (He d. about 1830, and was buried
at Gilling) : —
I. Francis Spedding, of Gilling, of whom presently.
II. Christopher Spedding.
III. Samuel Spedding.
IV. William Spedding.
V. Snowden Spedding.
VI. Crawford Spedding.
VII. Joseph Spedding.

Kirkby Lonsdale, from 1866 to 1906, previous to which he was senior curate of
St. Matthew's, Westminster. During his incumbency and largely throuo;h lais
instrumentality the present Church of St. John's, Hutton-Roof," was rebuilt,
the foundation stone being laid 25th June, 1880, and the consecration by the
Bishop of Ca,rUsle taking place on 8th August, 1881. Much of the interior
decoration of the Cliurch was provided at his own expense. The Lord's Table
of carved oak, was given as a thankoffering to God, for being permitted to assist
in rebuilding a House for His praise and service. The Pulvit was given in memory
of his parents, and m 1886 he gave an oak Chancel Screen, and also the Font.
There is also an ancient pewter Sacramental Service of three pieces, which he pre-
sented to the Church, now enclosed in an oak case with inscription tliereon.
The description of a stained glass memorial window to his niece, and other
memorials will be found in Part II., Chapter VITI., under " Hutton-Roof."

Spedding, m.d., of Ballynamudagh, Windgates, sometime Surgeon

The following is her pedigree, collected from various sources and

ROBERT DEEY, Esqr., Captain of a Company of Foot and
Lord Mayor of Dublin, 1672. In the " History and Antiquities

" declared for a free parliament, and upon the petition of the
" Mayor and Aldermen of Dublin, summoned a convention."
Under date 1660 it states: —
" King Charles II, complimented the City of Dublin with a
" collar of S.S., and bestowed a Company of Foot to Robert
" Dee, the then Mayor."
Robert Deey is shown as Sheriff in 1646, Mayor in 1659, and Lord
Mayor in 1672. The Family is said to have originally been Dee,
and Robert Deey above mentioned is believed to have been the
first to add the " y " to the name, which has remained Deey ever

FAMILY SEATS AND PROPERTIES.
Armathwaite Hall, situated at the head of Basseuthwaite Lake,
about seven miles north-west of Keswick, co. Cumberland,
containing about 500 acres, and consisting of a house standing
in its own grounds, thickly wooded with Scotch firs, was pur-
chased by James Spedding, son of John Spedding, of White-
haven, from the Highmore family in 1748, and after remain-
ing in the family for about 50 years was sold by John Sped-
ding, of Mirehouse, to Sir Frederick Fletcher Vane in 1796-
98, and has since passed to Thomas Hartley, Esq., the present
owner. The old house was, however, entirely pulled down in
1880 and rebuilt, and the area of the original estate has been
more than doubled.
John Spedding, of Mirehouse, also owned property in
Loweswater, Isell, Torpenhow, Gatesgarth, and Threlkeld.

II., page 234.

land;' 1860, page 284.
Mirehouse, situated on the east side of Basseuthwaite Lake, about
4i miles north-west of Keswick, co. Cumberland, contained
(in 1897) 1,150 acres, consisting of a large house and grounds,
with extensive plantations over a great part of the adjoining
mountain of Skiddaw. It became the property of John Sped-
ding, formerly of Armathwaite Hall, in 1802, by the devise
of Thomas Story, whose father acquired it by marriage with
the heiress of Gregg. It was formerly the demesne of the
manor of High Basseuthwaite, and was purchased of the Earl
of Derby by Roger Gregg, grandfather of Joseph Gregg, who
possessed it in 1688. Lord Tennyson, when at Oxford, was a
great friend of James Spedding, the Historian, son of the
above John Spedding, and used frequently to visit Mirehouse.
In addition to the above there are about 300 acres of land at
Heck, near Goole in Yorkshire, which have belonged to this

branch of the family for a great number of years. Both these
estates are still in possession of Miss Spedding, of Mirehouse.

SuMMERGROVE, in the parish of Hensingham, li miles south-east
of Whitehaven, co. Cumberland, containing 18 acres, was pur-
chased by James Spedding, son of Carlisle Spedding, of White-
haven, in 1761, from Anthony Grayson, and consists of a
house standing in its own well-timbered grounds. It adjoins
the property of Netherend, which forms part of the estate,
containing 92 acres of land, which was commenced to be pur-
chased by James Spedding, aforesaid, in 1760, from Henry
and Elizabeth Todd.
In addition to this there are about 380 acres of land at St.
Bees, CO. Cumberland, also part of the estate, which was con-
veyed to James Spedding, of Summergrove, 5 December,
1778, from Robert Stainton. This estate is still in the pos-
session of James W. H. P. Spedding, of Summergrove.
Ballynamudagh, near Windgates, co. Wicklow, Ireland, contain-
ing about 38 acres, and consisting of a house and grounds, was
the residence of the Irish branch of the family for nearly 100
years, being leased to Lucy Spedding, widow of Henry Sped-
ding, of Dublin, by Chaworth, 6th Earl of Meath, on 15 May,
1759, and released by Helena Margaret, widow of Robert Deey
Spedding, to William, 11th Earl of Meath, on 7 April, 1854.
This house has since been demolished, and the land built
over with cottages, but there still exists on the Earl of Meath 's
estate a Well, known as " Spedding's Well," which was
erected by Robert D. Spedding about 1825 to prevent a " right
of way " being established through his grounds to an older
Well, which had formerly been used by the villagers.

Threlkeld Hall, mentioned above under Armathwaite Hall, was
situated about 3 miles east of Keswick, co. Cumberland, and
came to the Speddings, of Armathwaite Hall, by the marriage
of James Spedding and Susannah Irton, of Threlkeld.
According to Lyson's " Cumberland," Vol. IV., 1816, p. 108,
the manor belonged at an early period to a family who took
their name from the place. Sir Lancelot Threlkeld, the last
male heir, left three daughters, one of whom brought Threl-
keld to the Pickerings; the Hall and demesne lands passed
from the Pickerings by marriage to the Irtons, and from the
latter in like manner to the Speddings.

btrland and Westmorland," by William Jackson, f.s.a. (Re-
print from Vol. III., page 348, " Transactions of the Cumber-

interesting description of a house in Whitehaven, at the corner
of Scotch-street and Roper-street, and opposite the gates of
Holy Trinity Church, which was built by James Spedding
about 1745, and sold in 1868. After giving a brief outline
of the family history, the author calls particular attention to
the architecture of the door of this house, which may be seen
to this day.
