The Early HAMPTON’s  (de Hampton of Staffordshire)        

It is important to note that the many assertions made on the Internet about Richard Gervase de Hampton  are misleading, because there were at least 4 Richard Gervase de Hampton’s!     The first  Richard Gervase de Hampton was living in 1320, and had five sons and at least one daughter.     Once I had determined these important facts, it became a matter of trying to determine what became of those sons.     Following are my attempts at that task.    I have endeavored to include with each person the quotes that led me to place them in the order you find them.    In a very few instances, I make a working hypothesis of relationships, but those assumptions are made plain.     

The problem remains that, other than in the paper of  Dr. Joseph Lynon Miller - and  Stebbing Shaw’s 'Notes of Staffordshire' about the Hampton's - which makes pointed reference to the fact that William Hampton who immigrated to Virginia on the Bona Nova was related to these de Hampton’s - I have yet to find the “missing link!”  although I do make some assumptions.    

The following Hampton’s were all, with few exceptions, in Staffordshire, as well as de Hampton’s in the Oxford area were also related.   

I would greatly appreciate others’ opinion of this information, and welcome additions or corrections!  

I have to thank Alan Fry, who pointed out an important error I had made in my  first posting about one of the John de Hampton’s...  I have tried to correct the problem!        

ARMS of the HAMPTON’S - (pdf)             

=========================================================================
1. PHILIP DE HAMPTON  – In 1171-2 had suit against the Abbot of Reading as to manor of Whitsbury, by in 1181 he had not yet obtained judgment.    In the 1270's, the abbot and convent of Edwardstowe of Letley granted to Nicholas bishop (1268-80) of Winchester 58s annual rent in Southampton which Agnes had given them.   This is itemized as:  30s rent in East Street ward, FORMERLY OF PHILIP de HAMPTON.    Philip seems to have died by 1182.     HONORS AND KNIGHTS' FEES - Page 140:   "On the Wiltshire roll for 1172, PHILIP de HANTON (of Hampton Poyle, Oxon.) owed 100 marks for having right against William de Curci in respect of Harham, and against the abbot of Reading in respect of Whitsbury.  Three years later he had not succeeded in obtaining the right and in 1182 he was dead, having failed in his suit."     Spouse UNKNOWN

                                    Children:     1)  Stephen           2)    Nicholas           (and possibly Roger)

 +-2. STEPHEN DE HAMPTON - In 1166 HAMPTON manor was held in chief as 1 knight's fee by Philip of Hampton, who was succeeded in 1182 by his son Stephen,  in 1220 by his grandson William, and in 1246 by his great-grandson Stephen. [from 'Parishes: Hampton Poyle', A History of the County of Oxford: Volume 6 (1959), pp. 160-168]
   sp: Denise -   Studies in 13th Century Justice and Administration - By Cecil Anthony Francis Meekings:   "Something is known about the Southampton rents, most, if not all, of which were acquired from Agnes Peverel, relict of Richard de Wokesie, the tenant at Totton and Testwood, nearby the borough.  By a deed, probably made in the 1270's, the abbot and convent of Edwardstowe of Leteley granted to Nicholas bishop (1268-80) of Winchester 58s annual rent in Southampton which Agnes had given them.   This is itemized as:  30s rent in East Street ward, formerly of PHILIP de HAMPTON;   20s rent also there, which Agnes had acquired from DENISE de HAMPTON, relict of William de Heriz (and perhaps identical with the widow of STEPHEN de HAMPTON, whose dower interests in Wellow had been extinguished in 1243).    Their son was GERVASE, and another son of theirs was WILLIAM.

Gervase married Agnes - Somersetshire Pleas:  (not dated, Membrane 3)  "AGNES wife of GERVASE de HAMPTON puts in her place Gervase against James de Chiffindon on a plea of a reasonable part, etc."

3)  WALTER DE HAMPTON [living 1246-1252].     Walter is listed in LDS files as a child of Stephen de Hampton.... but no source is given for this hypothesis.  There was a Walter de Hampton at this time, as can be found in Somersetshire Pleas (Civil & Criminal) from the Rolls of the Itinerant Justices (Close of the 12th Century - 41 Henry III) - cal 1257:   #940:   Robert Barat of Asperton appealed Robert de Aula of the death of John his brother in the county (court), and (Robert was outlawed upon Robert Barat's suit in the county (court)…..[portions not transcribed]…..Richard le Neir by WALTER de HAMPTON…

RICHARD GERVASE DE HAMPTON [#1]* (son of Gervase & Agnes) (was born about 1255) of Tunstall, Staffordshire -  Tunstall passed through three generations to RICHARD GERVAIS de HAMPTON who in 1320 had five sons and was the fourth generation of the family there.  The sons were William, a canon Hampton, Thomas, Richard, John and Nicholas.  John first and then Richard inherited Tunstall and through Richard's descendants it passed to John de Hampton, eight generations, whose monument in Armour is in the chapel at Kensare.  Tunstall passed through 14 generations of Hamptons before being sold to John Ryvers.    This is supposedly the ancestor of the Hampton’s of Twickenham Parish, but I have yet to find the definitive link!       The spouse of Richard Gervase de Hampton [#1] is unknown, but was possibly “Edith.”     

I show the following children.

    |  |  |-5. (Sir) John DE HAMPTON (son of Richard Gervase) was born about 1283, died about 4 August 1356 was “of Hampshire” - and this is a very important line.      I had John a generation later, but Mr. Alan Fry pointed out my error!           His spouse was Eleanor  - In 1331 John de Hampton granted the manor of Rowley (Stafford) to Halesowen, reserving to himself the right of nominating a canon who should pray daily for his soul and that of his wife Eleanor.

‘Stoke Charity', A History of the County of Hampshire: Volume 3, states:   “In 1334, Thomas de Alneto sold the manor to JOHN de HAMPTON who was knight of the shire of Southampton from 1336 to 1344.  He was holding the manor as 'half a fee in Oldstoke' in 1346,  but died before October, 1357,  leaving a son and heir THOMAS de HAMPTON who was also knight of the shire of Southampton in 1362 and was sheriff of the county from 1361 to 1365. In 1370 this same Thomas presented to the living of Stoke Charity.  The manor passed on his death before 1384 to his son and heir John de Hampton, also knight of the shire in 1394. In 1384 the manor was said to be held by John son of Thomas de Hampton, of the bishopric of Winchester by the service of two knights' fees.  An inquisition ad quod damnum, taken in 1392, ensured the right of John de Hampton in the manor of 'Eldestoke,' held 'of the Bishop of Winchester for unknown services,' against all claims put forward by Hyde Abbey.  This same John seems to have died about 1433 in which year his wife Margaret was assigned dower in his lands in Stafford.  His son and heir John Hampton knight of the shire in 1432,  and esquire of the body to Henry VI in 1454, was in his turn succeeded in the manor by his son Thomas Hampton, but at what date is uncertain. Thomas Hampton died in October, 1483, and was buried in the church of Stoke Charity.”

John de Hampton was the guardian of Hugh de Wrottesley, who he later gave in marriage to his daughter ELIZABETH:     "A guardian in chivalry was bound to maintain his ward, and for the five years following the death of his father, HUGH de WROTTESLEY would have been brought up by the Abbot of Evesham. On the 15 January 1325, the young heir being then eleven years of age, the Abbot sold the custody of the manor of Wrottesley and the marriage of the heir, to JOHN de HAMPTON, the Hereditary Seneschal or Steward of the Monastery.”

“JOHN HAMPTON of Hampshire dying before John and Bevis Hampton, John of Hampshire's son Thomas succeeded."  John de Hampton, knight of the shire of Southampton, from 1336 to 1344, died before October 1357 [Brocas Deeds]  Also lord of KINVER or KINSARE (Staffordshire)- and STOURTON.     Sir John Hampton was a king's knight and warden of Southampton (12th June).  He was replaced by others as warden as he was so weak and broken down from old age that he could not act.  He was exonerated from assessment for lands in Gloucestershire and Worcestershire [French Roll 20th Edward III - cal 1347].  Another John Hampton (possibly his son) is mentioned in the retinue of Maurice de Berkeley in Southampton.  He had letters of protection dated 5th June and 20th March.  He was assessed for 1 knight, 2 esquires and 3 archers, a total of 6 men-at arms [Wetewang's Accounts and Accounts of the Exchequer].  John de Hampton, knight was possibly a son who served instead of his sick father [Wetewang's Accounts - The Golden Falcon]      Stourton Castle, Kinver:  Description: Stourton Castle stands on the site of a royal hunting lodge built in 1195-6 for the Forest of Kinver. It was rebuilt by John De Hampton in the mid-15th century, and the castellated tower possibly dates from this period. Brick ranges were built around the former courtyard in the mid-late 16th century. The neo-Jacobean west wings were designed by Sir Robert Smirke and built in about 1832.    1334, Thomas de Alneto sold the manor of Stoke Charity to John de Hampton who was knight of the shire of Southampton from 1336 to 1344. He was holding the manor as 'half a fee in Oldstoke' in 1346,  but died before October, 1357,  leaving a son and heir Thomas de Hampton who was also knight of the shire of Southampton in 1362 and was sheriff of the county from 1361 to 1365.    Weoley castle was held by the Somery's until Edward III, when * John de Somery died leaving no male issue, and JOHN de HAMPTON, Lord of KINVER and STOURTON Castle, held "Welegh" during the minority of Joan, the sister and one of the co-heiresses of Joan de Somery.   "Joan de Somery married Thomas de Botetort" who (12 Edward III, 1339] was seized of land in Northfield and "Weley."   

*In 20 Edward II [cal 1327] John de Hampton was King's Eschaetor for the Counties of Gloucester, Hereford, Worcester, Salop, and Stafford. In the same year he was appointed by Letters Patent to take Assizes in  Worcester, and in 8 Edward III he was commissioned to take Assizes in co Stafford.  An Inquisition on the death of Joan, late wife of John de Wynecote, mentions the death of a John de Hampton in 23 Edward III  [calculated about 1350].

Sir JOHN de HAMPTON and his wife ELEANOR had the following children:

1)   Sir Thomas DE HAMPTON Knt-sheriff Southampton 1361 -1365 (d.Cal 1384)

    |  |  |  |  |-6. Sir Thomas DE HAMPTON (son of Sir John & Eleanor) Knt-sheriff Southampton 1361 -1365 (d.Bef 1384) -     In 35 Edward III  [cal 1362]- THOMAS de HAMPTON was named as sheriff, for five years.    The name of Sir Thomas de Hampton occurs frequently on the Rolls of Edward III.  In 18 Edward III he was sent to Gascony on a special mission, and the vessel " St. Pierre," of London, was ordered to be prepared for the passage of him and his Esquires and suite. (Rot. Vascon, 18 Edward III.) On the Vascon Roll of 22 Edward III he is styled Steward of the Landes of Gascony, " Seneschallus Landarum." In 35 Edward III he was Sheriff of co. Southampton, and in 41 Edward III he had a pension of fifty marks a year granted to him for his good service. (Issues of the Pell. Easter, 41 Edward III.)   From an Original deed at Wrottesley, copied 1860-62.      The original change of the name of the village to 'Stoke Charity ' [which it still retains], being so called in the Inq. p. m. 5 Ed. I.; but the name of Eldstoke, and subsequently Oldstoke, is that used in the Brocas deeds for several centuries later.)   31 Edward III - #f293. Lease by Johanna de Boches, widow of Sir John de Roches, Oct. 3, of her dower lands in Eldstoke for her life to Thomas de Hampton for a rent of 40s.    The Hampton family here mentioned were lords of the manor of Eldstoke or Stoke Charity. In 1370 this same Thomas de Hampton presents to the living [Wykeham's Register, i. 38 and 74].  In 1384 Wykeham, in his licence to Sir Bernard Brocas to enable him to grant a house and 72 acres of land in Eldstoke to the Brocas Chantry in Clewer Church, recites that Sir Bernard held them of John, son of Thomas de Hampton, who held the manor of the Bishopric of Winchester, by service of two Knight's fees.

Sir John DE HAMPTON Knight-in 1394 (d.Abt 1433)   John de Hampton, also knight of the shire in 1394.  In 1384 the manor was said to be held by John son of Thomas de Hampton, of the bishopric of Winchester by the service of two knights' fees.  An inquisition ad quod damnum, taken in 1392, ensured the right of John de Hampton in the manor of 'Eldestoke,' held 'of the Bishop of Winchester for unknown services,' against all claims put forward by Hyde Abbey.  This same John seems to have died about 1433 in which year his wife Margaret was assigned dower in his lands in Stafford. (His son and heir John Hampton knight of the shire in 1432.)  John, son of Thomas de Hampton, who held the manor of the Bishopric of Winchester, by service of two Knight's fees.  John Hampton was lord of Stourton Castle and Chief Forester of Kinver.

Thomas Hampton died in October, 1483, and was buried in the church of Stoke Charity.    Old Stoke Charity. Monumental Brasses and Heraldry, &c. By B. W. Greenfield, M.A., F.S.A. Pp. 27.  Four plates.   Mr. Greenfield has supplied us with a well-written and valuable account of the Hampton and other monuments in the Church of Old Stoke Charity, Hants, reprinted from the proceedings of the Hampshire Field Club. The memorials described are those of Thomas Wayte, 1482 (brass), John de Hampton ? (tomb), Thomas Hampton. 1483 (tomb), Richard Waller, 1552 (brass), John Waller, 1527 (mural monument), and the Phelipps altar tomb ; and all but that of Richard Waller, of which brass the inscription only remains, are illustrated, Pedigrees are given, together with an account of the descent of the Manor, besides abstracts of wills and other particulars. The whole forms a very complete piece of local history.

    |  |  |  |  |     |  +-9. Thomas HAMPTON – (son of John & Ann)  knight-of Stoke Charity (d.Oct 1483) - John Hampton knight of the shire in 1432, and esquire of the body to Henry VI in 1454, was in his turn succeeded in the manor by his son Thomas Hampton, but at what date is uncertain. Thomas Hampton died in October, 1483, and was buried in the church of Stoke Charity.    The Church of St. Michael, HAMPTON CHAPEL, Stoke Charity, parts of which are believed to date pre-Conquest, contains the Hampton Chapel:   "The gloriously unspoilt ancient church of St. Mary and St Michael is a treasure house of beautiful and ancient objects. The building dates mainly from the 12th and 13th centuries, the Norman nave and chancel perhaps being added to a small Saxon church which then formed the north aisle of the enlarged church. The nave was lengthened westward and the south wall rebuilt in the early 14th century. The side chapel, which has a portion of a 13th century wall painting, was rebuilt in the 15th century.   Beneath the arch opening to the Hampton chapel, and against its eastern respond, is set the altar tomb of Thomas Hampton, 1483, and Elizabeth (Dodington) his wife, 1475, having on a Purbeck slab their brass effigies with those of their two sons and six daughters. The lower half only of Elizabeth's figure is preserved. On scrolls from the mouths of the principal figures are 'pat['] de celis miserere nobis' and 'sca tñitas u['] d['] miserere nobis,' and above them a fine representation of the Trinity. Below the figures is an inscription giving the record of their deaths on St. Simeon and St. Jude's Day and St. Andrew's Day in the years noted above, and at the four corners of the slab are shields with the arms of Hampton and Dodington.
    |  |  |  |  |     |    sp: Isabella [Elizabeth] DODINGTON (d.1475) – wife of Sir Thomas Hampton, had two sons and six daughters.     Isabella Hampton, died 1475. A large raised tomb placed between the chancel and the Hampton chapel. Thomas Hampton married Isabel Dodingfield. The brasses on the slab of the tomb depict the couple, with their eight children - two sons, four married daughters wearing elaborate head-dresses and two unmarried daughters with loose hair. Prayer scrolls with appeals for mercy issue from the lips of the parents to an emblematical representation of the Holy Trinity, with God the Father shown as an old man with a beard sitting on a throne holding in his hands a cross on which is stretched God the Son. while on the right arm of the cross is a dove representing God the Holy Spirit. The heraldic shields at the four comers of the slab are charged, alternately, with the single coat of Hampton and Hampton impaling Dodingfield.

    |  |  |-5. Richard Gervais DE HAMPTON #2 (son of Richard Gervase), was born about 1285.   Richard who [inherited Tunstall] was born about 1285, and at times was also called “Richard Gervase”  The Church of St. Giles, Willenhall:   “The founders of the chantry here, brothers otherwise known as JOHN GERVASE and RICHARD GERVASE of Wolverhampton; were members of a family seated at Dunstall by that town which can be traced there at least as far as the middle of the twelfth century. Dunstall being part of the same manor as Willenhall (that of Stowheath) may have led to their choice of that chapel for this foundation in February 1328-9".     In 1 Edward III [cal 1328] a Richard de Hampton was Collector of the Subsidy in Staffordshire.       Joan de Hampton Long’s uncle (see above), Richard Hampton in 1327 (2 Edward III) obtained license of the king to give 40 acres of land 4 acres of meadow and one half a water corn mill lying in Willenhall to the chantry of St. Giles in Willenhall for a priest to pray for his soul and that of his wife Felize.   They left issue Richard Hampton and John Hampton.   This Richard Hampton had a son Richard who in the 4th year of Richard II [cal 1381] and fifth [1382] of the same granted to Nicholas Wychtwyke certain messuages of land which he had from his uncle John de Hampton.    It was probably this John who was  JOHN de HAMPTON, the late king's escheator in cos. Gloucester, Hereford, Worcester, Salop, Stafford, and in the adjoining marches of Wales.      1352:   Roger Hillary, Knight, sued ELIZABETH, formerly wife of JOHN de HAMPTON, RICHARD de HAMPTON, and John de Alrewas, the executors of the will of JOHN de HAMPTON for a debt of £10.  [perhaps Elizabeth was a 2nd wife]
