Hartley Families
Here are a few bits that are relevant to the Blacko Hartleys. I would be interested to know if this family of John Hartley at Admergill spring from Bernard Hartley of Blacko and Laund. A Bernard H was one of the first copyholders of land in Blacko, he certainly held land there in 1507. I have quite a bit on his family but have not included them here.
This has been assembled from a number of different files.
1561 John Hartley of Admergill surrenders a parcel in and upon Blacko at 4s 8d ( I estimate this at 14 acres).
1562 John and Richard Hartley are appointed "Fence-lookers" in Roughlee.
1583 Interrogatorie:
James Robinson stated 80 states that in 1523 the tenants of Barrowford exchanged lands with tenants of Blacko. Lawrence Hartley of Barrowford exchanged with James Hartley of Blacko and that Blacko in Barrowford joins another parcel called Blacko in Admergill and that a ditch divides the said grounds.
Also the deposition of John Hartley, aged 76, of Cotes in Craven is taken. He states that his own father, Bernard Hartley was
one of the first to take vaccarries from the King's Commissioners by Court Roll (this would be in1507).
1608 John Hartley pays £1:9:6 for rent of Admergill
1662 William Hartley of Admergill is mentioned in a land surrender
1662 John Hartley pays 15s:9d for his property in Roughlee (probably the Hall).
1561 John Hartley of Admergill surrenders one parcel of land in and upon Blacko at 4s 8d to the use of Hugh Wilkinson, Jenett his wife and Elizabeth his daughter, and survivor, to the use of the following shall pay the Queen's rent and 14s to John Hartley, his heirs and assigns and 1 day of shearing, 1 day of turves drawing and 1 day of hay making.
1558 Richard Bancroft, Greave of Pendle Forest, surrenders 1 messuage in Fence at 10s to John Hartley of Admergill, Richard Hartley of Langroyde, Hugh Moor (son of Richard) and William Hargreaves of Higham - a Christopher Moor is a yeoman of Dean Bottom (this was on the north side of the pasture then in the tenure of James Hargreaves).
1557 William Lister of York allowed Richard Aicroyde of Briercliffe (this would be Foulds House) to use land in Colne rented by John Hartley. Richard Aicroyde then purchased the land but had to allow John Hartley the use of it for the term of his life.
1555 Henry Bannester of Parkhill and James Hartley of Blacko fined 12d each for keeping an unruly tenant in John Robinson alias Bewse who with his dogs drove away his neighbour's beasts.
1540 Robert Hartley was named Pynus.
Richard Hartley was called Little Hodge.
John Hartley was called Hoydye.
1540 John Hartley and Bernard Hartley complain against Robert Blakey in a plea of trespass for open fences between Juddefield and the Long Rodes upon a dyke called “Le Blacke Dyke”. Jury award damages. This is the land above Blacko Tower farm and Admergill Pasture farm where it runs up to the ancient ditch/dyke known as the Black Dyke.
1539 James Hartley of Fulshaw served on a jury.
1531 John Hartley, alias Goosecombe, sues John Robinson jnr of Black Moss for debt.
1531 Miles Nutter (father-in-law of 'witch' Alice Nutter) sues John Hartley, William Mitton for debt.
1527 The jury declare that a messuage and other buildings at 22s 2.5d pa rent in Roughlee reverted to the King upon the death of Henry Hartley and that John Hartley is his son and heir and 16 years of age or more and that Lawrence Hargreaves is his uncle to the said John and agrees to be his guardian until he attains maturity. Margery Hartley (widow of Henry) forbade fine for her dower and Henry Mitton forbade fine until the said John Hartley should fulfil the intention of the said will of his father.
1524 Richard Tattersall plaintiff against John Hartley of Admergill for ocupying several parcels of land in Barrowford. Jury says that the plaintiff shall have a way leading out of a close called Witley (Wheatley) for 2 years to come without interruption.
1524 Richard Tattersall plaintiff aginst John Hartley of Admergill in a plea of trespass for the occupation of certain parcel of land lying in Wittawbothe (Whitehough) against Robert Lee (I think this Le was R.Lee, Knight, Commissioner of the Royal Forest in 1507). Plaintiff wins 10s damages.
