HAKLUYT, Thomas.

?s. of Thomas Hakluyt of Eyton in Leominster, Herefs. (d.1544), clerk of the council in the marches of Wales, by his 2nd w. Catherine, da. of Thomas Trentham of Shrewsbury, Salop; ?half-bro. of Richard Hakluyt. ?m.Mary, da., and coh. of John or Thomas Lochard of Greet, Salop, 1s. d.v.p.at least 2da.Add. 19815, ff. 25-6, 40; Harl. 1434, ff. 8, 9, 32; C. J. Robinson, Herefs. Manors, 174n; PCC 7 Pynnyng. This will, of the clerk to the council in the marches, mentions a first (unnamed) wife by whom he had 4da. inc. Eleanor, and states that his 2nd w. Catherine, also had several children, presumably by him. These children, who are unnamed, may have included the younger Thomas of Eyton. A further difficulty is that Mary Lochard may have married either the clerk to the council or the younger Thomas. Add. 19815, f. 26 reads: ‘Eleanor, wife of Thomas Coningsby, was da. of Thomas Hackluyt, esq., and Mary his wife ... da. and coh. of John Lochard ... Thomas ... and Mary had issue Richard, who died without issue, so then Eleanor became one of the coheirs of the said Mary’.
