| 52 | "Matthew Hutton, to pay his debts, sold Marske in 1630 to his wife's father, Sir Conyers Darcy and Conyers Darcy his son." "When the Great Rebellion broke out Matthew Hutton took, with his kinsmen the Darcies, the king's part, and, with them, he suffered for his loyalty. Mr. Fryer says that he was fined 1,000?., but in the books of the commissioners the sum which stands against his name is only 132?. 12s. 10d., and he was freed altogether from their claims on the 25th of July, 1651. There is little known of the progress of the Rebellion in Swaledale, but there is a protection granted to Hutton by Ferdinand Lord Fairfax, on the 5th of August, 1644, which shews that Marske, at least, was saved from one of the greatest horrors with which war is accompanied." Before Matthew Hutton died lie lost his eldest son, a serious misfortune to an afflicted family. Where and when he himself died we do not exactly know. There is no record of his burial in the parish register at Marske. He probably ended his days in retirement far from the scenes of his younth and his father's home. The careful hand of his daughter-in-law healed the breaches which he had made in his estate by her industry and loving care. Subsequent alliances made the family of Hutton richer and more prosperous than ever. | HUTTON, Mathew (I7928)

| 53 | "Nicholas Mosher of George was a ship-builder. He built many good vessels. The ship 'Jenny Lind', the first full-rigged ship built and rigged out in Hants Co.; also the barque 'Moro Castle', sailed for a time by Capt. James Mosher, ran as a packet carrying goods between London, G.B., and Halifax. Then sailed by Capt. Geo. Mounce for a time, who was very successful. The above Ira Mosher moved up from St. John to Avondale, to join his brother Nicholas in ship-building. They launched the ship 'Jenny Lind," and Ira went down in her to St. John, where she loaded. While there a ship came from Europe with many passengers, with ship fever on board. The vessel was quarantined. Many of the passengers died, and it is said that many were buried not a foot below the surface. When warm weather came, a friend of Ira's invited him to go out, and , as it was a short cut to cross this burial-ground, he went that way. He said the smell was dreadful while they crossed. He soon came home, took sick, and died in a few days. He and others believed the trip across the grounds caused his death. The above John Andrew, of Margaret, got the shipyard from his uncle Nicholas, and was a clever builder. He constructed many fine ships, and was always ready to adopt the latest improvements, and stood high as a citizen and ship-builder in the estimation of the public. He died of heart disease at age 47. His brother-in-law wa a partner with him. He (William H. Mosher) continued the business, and is noted for the building of fine vessels. | Source (S339)

By then there would have been a small telephone ex-change (a switchboard) almost certainly in the post office. Margaret Ward, sub-postmistress, was listed in the directory as Reeth 1. The 1922 directory lists Reeth exchange as offering a telephone service only between 8am and 8pm Monday to Saturday and between 8.30am and 10 am on Sundays. And then only when Margaret wasn't busy serving in the shop, presumably!" Quoting John Cranston from an article in the Friends of Swaledale Newsletter #14 Autumn 2012. | Source (S1022)

| 65 | "The Kidstons had a daughter. Belle. I suppose her name was Isabelle. And the old woman--Mrs. Duffus and then she was Mrs. Kidston -- invited my grandmother down for supper. And she went down. And Belle was quite the lady. After they had supper, Belle said to her mother to take Mrs. Jones into the parlour and she'd look after the dishes. So this happened. But they didn't hear any dishes being washed or anything, so Mrs. Kidston and my grandmother went out. Dishes were still on the table. Went in the kitchen, there was no Belle there. Went upstairs, and a ladder--she had eloped with a fellow by the name of Irish, William Irish. And he wasn't considered good enough for Belle. But the old girl had hysterics, and started, 'I might have known something was going to happen--Belle washed her stockings today.' So when we were kids, anything special, we'd always say, well, 'Belle had better wash her stockings." Excerpt from Early History of Baddeck by Robert Elmsley | KIDSTON, Isabelle M. (I5538)

| 66 | "The Moir family business was established under Benjamin Moir, a native of Scotland, who opened a bakery shop on Brunswick Street, Halifax, N.S. in 1830. After his death in 1845, his son William C. Moir took over the bakery. Between 1862 and 1869 Moir built a five-story plant occupying Grafton, Argyle, and Duke Streets featuring a steam bakery, flour mill and retail store which originally operated under the name Moir and Co. A confectionery plant was opened in 1873 managed by William's son, James W. Moir, who introduced the production of chocolates. In 1875 the name of the firm became William C. Moir and Son. James W. Moir succeeded his father as head of the business in 1896 and his brother, William C. Moir Jr., also joined the firm as an associate. In 1903 the firm known as Moir Son and Co. was incorporated as a joint stock company under the name Moirs Limited. A paper box plant was added to the establishment at Halifax, and a chocolate refining plant, saw mill and wooden box (shook) manufacturing plant were constructed in Bedford where the company later established its own hydro power station. On 29 December 1925, Moirs Limited was incorporated to acquire the old firm. The company was reorganized in 1926 and established branch sales offices and warehouses across Canada and foreign agencies in the West Indies, Central and South America, South Africa, and New Zealand. In 1956 the company left family hands and was reorganized under new president F.M. Covert. Standard Brands Canada Limited acquired Moirs in 1967. The Moirs plant continued in Dartmouth as part of Hershey Foods Corporation." archivescanada.ca | MOIR, James Ward (I2680)

| 69 | "The Phillip Family After the death of the second William Conyers in 1558, Marske passed to Joan his only daughter and heiress who, being under age, became a ward of Queen Elizabeth. A new family now enters the scene when James Phillip, an influential member of the Royal Court, persuaded the Queen to allow his son, Arthur, to marry the Conyers' heiress against the wishes of her family. As a result of the marriage, Arthur Phillip gained possession of the large land holdings belonging to the Conyers' heiress, including the manor of Marske, several parcels of land in the Orgate area of the manor of Clints and several estates in the Richmond and Cleveland areas. Arthur Phillip leased the Grinton and Fremington mines from the Crown in 1583 with Henry, Lord Scrope, as a partner." from British Mining No 50 Memoirs 1994 pp24-40, Tyson, L.O. | PHILLIP, Arthur (I7666)

After his wife's death the farmhold is to come wholly to his son Christopher Dodsworth, with remainders to Edward and "his next brethren, one after another," during the lease.
