He succeeded to



Htneage.



The surname of Margesson is presumed
to be of Norman French origin ; accord-
ing to tradition, it was, in early times,
" Argenson," a name of some distinction
still in France. In a pedigree in the He-
rald's College, the mode of spelling it varies.
It seems to have been written, indifferently,
Margesson, Margetson, and Margeston ;
and we find it so varied in some MS.
writings in the British Museum. Whit-
taker, in his History of Richmondshire,
calls the Archbishop of Armagh (of this
family) Margerison, while in Thoresby's
Diary, he is styled Margaretson. The fa-



mily held lands in the county of York,
towards the close of the reign of Richard II.
or in the beginning of Henry IV. before
the year 1400.

John Margetson, or Margesson, of
Wakefield, living in 1400, was father of

Richard Margetson, of Rotherham,
living in 1430, who had two sons, viz.

1. Thomas, whose great-great-grandson,
James, having taken holy orders,
became eventually Archbishop
of Armagh, and Primate of all
Ireland. He was born in 1600,
at Drighlington, in Yorkshire, and

MARGESSON, OF OFFINGTON.



educated at St. Peter's College,
Cambridge. His first preferment
was the living of Watlass, in his
native county ; but he soon after-
wards became chaplain of the cele-
brated Earl of Strafford, and
went over to Ireland with that
nobleman, then constituted lord
lieutenant, when he was made
Dean of Christ Church, Dublin.
Dr. Margesson lived in seclusion
during the usurpation. He was
consecrated Archbishop of Dublin
in 1660, and translated to Armagh
in 1663. His grace founded a free-
school at his native place ; and
dying in 1678, was buried in
Christ Church, Dublin. He left
several children.
2. Richard.
The second son,

Richard Margetson, of Rotherham, m.
about the year 1480, a daughter of William
Newdigate, with whom, acquiring consi-
derable estates in Surrey, he settled in that
county. The family of Newdigate pos-
sessed the greater part of Leith Hill, with
the manor of Wootton ; and a large pro-
portion of the lands upon this hill belonged,
within these few years, to the Margessons.
The manor has passed to another pro-
prietor, but some part of the landed pro-
perty still remains in the adjoining manor
of Ockley. The great-great grandson of
this Richard,

John Margetson, espoused, 7th Sep-
tember, 1636, Katharine, daughter of —
Parker, and had, with other issue,
William, b. in 1655.

came first wife of the

The youngest son,

Sir Edmund Turnor, was b. on the 14th
May, 1619. This gentleman, a staunch and
devoted royalist, remained ever most faith-
fully attached to the cause he had espoused.
When Bristol fell into the hands of Prince
Rupert, he was constituted treasurer and
paymaster to the garrison there, but was
made prisoner in 1641, at the fatal battle of
Worcester. In recompence of these emi-
nent services, he was named one of the
knights of the Royal Oak, but that order
never taking place, he received the honor
of knighthood in 1663: at which time he
was a commissioner of the alienation office,
surveyor-general of the Outports, and
one of the chief farmers of the Customs.
Sir Edmund Turner's benevolence and
public spirit were exemplary, and several
acts of munificence remain lasting monu-
ments of his character. He endowed the
vicarage of Milton Erneys (the place of his
birth,) with the impropriate tithes of the
parish, while at the same time he rebuilt
the vicarage house and offices. And as
Bishop Kennet expresses himself, " that
his piety to the church might the better be
consecrated by his charity to the poor," he
erected an hospital for six poor persons, and
endowed it with lands to the value of twenty
pounds per annum. At Stoke Rochford he
built the alms house, and at Wragley, in Lin-
colnshire, an hospital for twelve poor per-
sons, whereof six were to be the widows of
clergymen, and the remainder poor men
and women of that town. After perform-
ing various other acts of munificence,
this eminent and excellent person d. in
1707, leaving by his wife, Margaret, daugh-
ter of Sir John Harrison,* knt. of Stoke

GOSSELIN, OF BENGEO HALL.



Utnenge.




The family of Gosselin, of Norman origin,
has long been domiciled in the island of
Jersey, but the date of its first settlement
there cannot now be accurately ascertained.
Robert Gosselin, a distinguished soldier,
did eminent service to King Edward III at
the rescue of Mont Orgueil, from the French,
and was in consequence appointed governor
of that castle, having had at the same time
a grant of the armorial ensigns, since borne
by the family. From this Robert, we pass
to his descendant,

Thomas Gosselin, a jurat of the royal
court of Jersey in 1521, whose son,

Hellier Gosselin, removing into Guern-
sey, m. first, Perotine, daughter of Francis
Henry, of that island, and had issue,

chant, esq. and secondly, to Peter

but had no other children. He was sworn
in September, 1546, King's Procureur for

1564, a jurat of the royal court. He d. in
1579, and was s. by his son,

Nicholas Gosselin, esq. one of the clerks
of the council to Queen Elizabeth, and
sworn in 1565, a jurat of the royal court of
Guernsey. He m. Peronelle, daughter of
Louis Lempriere, bailiff of Jersey, and had

reur, sworn a jurat in 1622, d. un-
married in 1626.
Susannah, m. to John de Quetteville,
and had with other issue.



John de Quetteville, bailiff of
Guernsey.
Esther, m. to Nicholas Guillemotte, and

The elder son,

Hellier Gosselin, esq. was sworn in
1588 king's comptroller, or solicitor general
for Guernsey, and in three years afterwards,
procureur or attorney general for the same
island. He wedded first, Laurence, daugh-
ter of Nicholas Etur, and had, with several
daughters, four sons,

I. Peter, b. in 1584, sworn greffier of
the royal court, in 1610, and jurat in
