Thomas Morley, 5th Lord Morley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas Morley, 5th Lord Morley (1393-1435) was the 5th Lord of Morley. He married Isabel, daughter of Michael de la Pole, 2nd Earl of Suffolk. They are the parents of Ann Morley (1413 - 1471) who became the wife of Sir John Hastings, and mother of Elizabeth Hastings. In turn, she married Robert Hildyard (? - 1501) and their son Peter (1460-1501) married Joan de la See (1463 - ?). Joan is the great-granddaughter of Lady Elizabeth Percy. Their son Christopher Hildyard (1490 - 1538) married Margaret Coningsby. In turn, their son Martin Hildyard married Emma Rudston (1511 - ?). In turn, their son, Richard Hildyard (1532 - 1602) married Jane Thwenge (1536 - ?). And in turn, their daughter Ursula Hildyard (1577 - ?) married Richard Jackson (? - 1610) in Yorkshire. This line connects Ursula as a direct descendant to Rollo of Normandy, direct ancestor of William the Conqueror, with the JACKSON family of Eske and later Killingswold Grove in Yorkshire.

Decendants from this line include Sir Anthony Jackson (1599 - 1666), a friend, courtier and herald to Charles I and Charles II Stuarts; Andrew Jackson, 19th Century President of the United States; Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, the Confederate States of America General during the US Civil War;

• The documentation for the descendancy of the latter Anthony's son, Isaac Jackson (1665 - 1751), is provided by Quaker records at Ballitore, County Kildare, England, and after 1725, at Quaker records from several different Quaker Monthly Meetings in rural Chester County in the 18th Century, many of which are on file in the libraries of Swarthmore and Haverford Colleges in Pennsylvania, especially in the manuscript, "Descendants of Isaac and Ann Jackson," and to records of the Pennfield Colony/Pennsfield/Belleview/Beaver Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada settlement by Loyalist Quakers after 1783.
