The earl was a munificent benefactor to the church of York. In a letter, dated 30 Aug. 1687, and addressed to Dr. Wickham, the dean, he says :-" Things are in so ill a condition in Irland, where ye greatest part of my estate now is, and my debts are so great, as I cannot doe what I desire ; but, besids a decent tombe I intend for my father, wch shall not be unbecoming ye minster of Yorke, I will, by ye grace of God, give a thousd pd to ye Church.

The generous intentions of the pious earl were not carried out during his lifetime ; but he did not forget the promise he had made. In his will, dated 9 Sept. 1695, the earl bequeaths "to ye Deane and Chapter of Yorke ye sum of one thousand pounds," which he requires his trustees, " with ye advice of ye Deane and Chapter yn being, to lay out upon lands, ye yearly proffitts of wch lands shall be bestowed in repairing ye Minster of Yorke, if ye revenue appropriated for that use shall bee judged insufficient, & such addition be thought necessary by my said trustees, or else in founding a Prebendary (sic) in ye said Church, wch shall allwayes bee bestowed upon som learned & sober Person who bath cure of soules in ye Diocess of Yorke." And, he adds, " I will that one thousand pounds shall be raised out of my Estates in ye kingdomes of England & Ireland, to bee bestowed in a monument in the Minster of Yorke, for my father, where I desire his bones, together with my Lady Margarett Clifford's (my father's first wife) and my mother's bones, & ye bones of my mother-in-law Elizabeth Countess Dowager of Strafforde, lately deceased, if it shall seem good to her Executors, should bee placed as likewise my own, with my late most deare wife's (see No. 93) in the vault I have caused to bee made there, judging it better to place those there that are dearest, & not to have such lye in ye church att Wentworth, to ye more sensible affliction of their freinds that goe frequently thither. Also, I will & require that seven hundred pounds bee bestowed upon a tombe for my late most Deare wife & myselfe, & bee placed next unto that which is made for my father in the Minster at Yorke."-[Pro. 7 Nov. 1695.]

The sum above bequeathed to the Dean and Chapter was laid out in the purchase of lands at Barrowby and Little Leake in the North Riding ; a grand and stately 11 tombe " was erected for the testator and his "late most deare wife," in the " Minster at Yorke;" but the great earl of Strafford is not there commemorated, and he and his three wives still "lye in ye church att Wentworth," where their presence can no longer be "to ye more sensible affliction of their freinds."

Samuel Terrick was collated to the stall of Riccall at York 23 Nov. 1696, exchanging it for that of Wistow 11 May, 1711. On 20 May, 1697, he was collated to the rectory of Wheldrake, which he held until his death.

By will attested 18 Dec. 1718 [Pro. 25 Feb. seq.] Samuel Terrick, clerk, rector of Wheldrake, desires, if he died at York, `1 to be buried in the Cathedral church there, near my late dear sister Pen : (Penelope Gibson,-see No. 151) and my dear brethren Dockter Fall (see No. 146) and Docter Pearson" (see No. 153). He mentions his late mother Anne Terrick, his daughter Ann T., his sons Samuel and Richard T., his brothers Thomas, Edward and Charles Gibson, and his sister Joanna Gibson (see No. 174). He bequeaths £20. to the Blue Coat Boys' School, York, and 301. to the poor of the parish of Wheldrake. Wife Ann residuary legatee and sole executrix.

Canon Terrick married at BishopthOrpe Ann, widow of Nathaniel Arlush, esq. of Knedlington, co. York, and daughter of John Gibson, esq. of Welburn, in the same county.

" Penelope the Dau. of Mr. Tirrick, Canon Resedentier," was baptized in the Minster 30 Sept. 1708. His son Richard, who was baptized there 20 July, 1710, became a prebendary of St. Paul's, and bishop of Peterborough and London. He married Tabitha, daughter of the Rev. William Stainforth, rector of Symonburne, cO. Northumberland, and granddaughter of Dr. William Stainforth, canon of York. See No. 148.

I have not ascertained the parentage of this lady, who appears to have been the wife of Edmund Barker, junior, mayor of Leeds in 1723. His father, Edmund Barker, mayor in 1704, married Ann, daughter of William Calverley, alderman of Leeds, by whom he had, with other children who died young, two sons, Edmund and Henry, both living in 1707. On 1 April, 1729, administration of the goods of Ann, wife of Edmund Barker, esq. of Leeds, deceased intestate, was granted to her said husband, who, as Edmund Barker, esq. of Potter Newton near Leeds, made his will 19 Oct. 1729. He bequeaths a messuage in Ogleforth, in the city of York, to his second son Henry, then under 26 years of age, and to his eldest son Edmund considerable estates at Otley and elsewhere in the West Riding [Pro. 12 Dec. 1729].

The testator was brother, I believe, to Thomas Barker, esq., of Otley and York, counsellor-at-law, who died in 1724, and was buried, near his son Edmund, in the church of St. Mary in Castlegate.

The only child of John Richardson, the precentor. See No. 176.

Born 4 Aug. 1665. Assumed the name of Wentworth on succeeding to the estates of his uncle William, earl of Strafford, in 1695 (see No. 122). His widow (who is called Anne by Hunter) died 2 Oct. 1749 (see No. 197). Their son, Thomas marquis of Rockingham, will occur afterwards. See No. 198.

By will dated 17 June, 1719 [Pro. 29 April, 1724], she bequeaths "my lord archbishop Sterne's picture and his Lady's," to her late husband's nephew, the Rev. William Sterne of Averham, co. Notts.

Nicholas Procter was made clerk Of the vestry 11 Nov. 1681, and held that office until 22 Dec. 1691, when he was suspended. As "Nicholas Proctor of Great Badminton in the County of Gloucester, esquire," he made his will 16 Feb. 1707-8, in which he divides the bulk of his property equally between his three sisters, Katherine, Bridget and Rosamond Proctor, whom he appoints joint executrices [Pro. at York, 8 March 1724-5 by Catherine and Bridget Proctor].

A few years after the date of his will, the testator returned to York, and on 2 Feb. 1717-8 was married at the Minster to Mrs. Mildrew Rhodes, widow, but he does not appear to have had any issue by her.

The ex-clerk of the vestry was the owner of a small estate at Knapton in the Ainsty, which his last surviving sister, Bridget Procter, bequeathed, in 1737, to Joseph Maltus, the grandson of her sister Sith.

Mildrew Procter of York, widow, made her will 2 Oct. 1729 [Pro. 16 March seq.] desiring, if she died in any part of Yorkshire, to "be decently buried at Whitt-church near Leeds." She bequeaths £20. to her godson Nicholas Maltus of Scotton, co. Linc., and to her sisters-in-law, Mrs. Katherine and Mrs. Bridget Procter, she leaves her "silver coffee pots, the white brass tea kettle and lamp, with one sett of china, two white tea potts, and six silver spoons."

By will attested 18 July, 1726 [Pro. 3 Aug. seq.] William Collingwood of the city of York, esq. founded and endowed a Hospital and School at Upper Bentham in Craven, as set forth in the following extract:- In case any one of those persons to whom I have given an annuity for life or lives shall happen [to die], then my intent is that every such respective annuity shall, as they so determine, go towards the purchase of some convenient house or place in Upper Bentham as a Hospitall for the maintenance and support of six old decayed House Keepers in that parish, men and women, six of each sex ; and as soon as there is a place fit for their reception, I order three shillings a week a piece to every one of the twelve for their support ; none to be admitted but those who openly profess the Church of England. Farther, as to a School which I intend to supply with two Masters to instruct the children of Upper Bentham, I doe hereby order for the support of the upper Master £30. a year, and to the under Master I order £20. a year for his pains ; but no masters to be admitted who have not been educated according to the Rules of Oxford & Cambridge, meaning to exclude the pretention of all who may be of a narrower education. I farther order the under Master £5. a year more to his salary, for his paines in instructing the boyes under his care in writing and arithmetic, & for reading of prayers twice a week to the Hospitall."-Trustees, the parson of the parish and his successors, Robert and John Cumberland and their heirs. William Greenvile, esq. of York, to act in trust and confidence in these charity uses.

The testator, who appears to have died childless, left a widow Sarah, who shortly after his decease became the wife of Nicholas Robinson, esq. of Thicket. She died intestate, administration of her effects being granted to her husband 27 June, 1730.

In her will dated 25 June, 1715, Dorothy Dickinson of York, spinster, desires " to be decently buried in the same place where it's known my grandfather (see No. 66) & uncle Mr. Joseph Micklethwait (see No. 80 a.) was buried in York Minster, [and] to have eight of my intimate acquaintances bearers."-My lands and tenements at Dowthrop in Holderness to my sister Ann Colston & my Sister Abigail Sowray for their lives.Said sister Colston sole executrix. [Pro. 23 March 1726-7 by Anne Coulstone, widow, the ex'.]

The testatrix was one of the daughters of Thomas Dickinson, esq. of Kirkby Hall, lord mayor of York in 1648 and 1657 (in which latter year he was knighted by Oliver Cromwell), by his second wife Anne, daughter of Joseph Micklethwaite, esq. M.D. of Swine.

" Richard Sorawray, Dr. of Physick & Mrs. Abigail Dickinson, both of the cytie of York," were married at the Minster 27 Jan. 1707-8. Dr. Sowray was the son of Richard Sowray of York (Dugd. Visit., ed. Surt. Soc., p. 317), and dying 27 Feb. 1708-9, aged 45, was buried in his parish church of St. Mary in Castlegate.

He bequeaths " one hundred pounds to the Library of the Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of St. Peter in York, for the purchaseing books, as the dean and residentiarys shall think fitt."
