  • Notes 
    • According to a letter from A. R. Pickering, District Librarian of the London borough of Hackney, published in 1977 in Swinnerton Family History (volume 2, number 9), in 1588, which would have been two years after his marriage to Thomasine Buckfold, John Swinnerton “purchased of Stephen Buckfold two messuages, two tofts, two gardens and three acres of pasture land in Hackney. In the Exchequer Lay Subsidy of 1598 he was assessed on this property in Hackney at £20 and paid on it £2.13.4d.” At a guess Stephen Buckfold was very likely a brother of Thomasine, whose maternal grandfather was also named Stephen.

      Pickering’s letter further notes that “a William Swinnerton (perhaps [Sir John Swinnerton’s] son?) gave 2s in 1605 toward the restoration of [Hackney] church, another son was buried in Hackney churchyard on the 16th July 1616.” The offspring of Sir John Swinnerton appear to be fully documented and include neither a son named William nor a son who died in 1616. Possibly both of these individuals were brothers to the City politician, additional sons of John Swinnerton of Oswestry, but the only son mentioned in the nuncupative will of the elder John Swinnerton (taken by Peirce Williams) is “Sir John Swynnarton Knight Citizen and Alderman of London.”
