Birth:
[13da 5mo 1660]

Other Events:

• Religion: Society of Friends (Quaker)

Notes:

...Hugh and Mary Strettell had become convinced by Robert Barclay (joined the Society of Friends) sometime between the end of 1654 when Elizabeth was born and October 18, 1655 when James was born. His aged father, Thomas, was evidently living with them and became convinced also, and so was buried in Mobberley Quakers burial ground and not in the Church burial ground.
...The Stretells, or Strethulls, were presumably not politically minded or inclined, and so gave their attention to the land and its cultivation, and so, because of the division and sub-division of the original estate, which came through Gilbert de Strethull or De la Mare and his son William in the twelfth or thirteenth century, owing to the large increase of families of the same blood, the title of gentleman was dropped, and some became practically yeomen, but they were, as the Mobberley Parish Official Record states "The Strettells were substantial yeomen."
...Evidently Hugh Strettell was substantial, indeed, for he owned Brown Edge farm, near Brown Edge hamlet, and Blakely House, and when the estate of Saltersley came to the daughters of Francis Hulme in 1662, he being entitled to one part, jure uxoris, bought the shares of the other co-heiresses, the sisters of his wife, Mary, and so became sole owner of Saltersley Mansion in 1655.
...James married a Quakeress. Amos and Abell Strettell came to Dublin towards the end of the seventeenth century and became wealthy merchants there. Robert Strettell, the fifth son of Amos Strettell, who went to Ireland circa 1678-79, settled there. (Source: Rev. William Beck, F.S.A.G., "Gleanings From the Past", (Sydney, New South Wales)

Other Events:

• Name: Margaret Griffith

Notes:

...The family of Hulme, to which Francis Hulme belonged, was found in Cheshire and Lancashire from an early date. Like other families, it took its name from the property which it held. Holme or Hulme means low, flat land near a river. A place such as that was usually composed of rich meadow land or flats, and for agricultural purposes was very valuable. In the time of Henry II, there was a John de Hulme, who built the mansion of Hulme. There are several ancient mansions in the parish of Manchester, among which may be enumerated Hulme Hall, the ancient manorhouse, occupied in the reign of Henry II by John de Hulme.
...Unfortunately, it did not remain in the possession of the family for any length of time, for in the reign of Edward I, it was held by Adam, the son of Adam de Rotoundale. The family, however, held other land and continued to be known as Hulme, of Hulme.
...Francis Hulme prefereed to remain attached to the Parish Church, of which he was a churchwarden for many years, and a monument was erected to his memory at mobberley Church by his eight daughters.
