By CHARLES JACKSON, of DONCASTER.
Sir Robert Swyft, we are told, was the only son and heir of William Swyf t , of Rotherham, who was the second son of Robert Swyft, of the same pla ce . The mother of Sir Robert was Margaret, daughter of Hugh Wyrral, of L ove rsall, esq.
At the death of his father, 10th May, 11th Elizabeth, 1568, he was age d s eventeen years and nine months, so that he was born about the year 15 50 . He married, for his first wife, Bridget, daughter and coheiress of S i r Francis Hastings, of Fenwick, knight, one of the most ancient house s i n that part of the county of York, by whom he had an eldest son and h ei r apparent, Edward Swyft, who lived to man's estate and received the h ono ur of knighthood at the hands of King James the First, when at Belvoi r, o n the 23rd of April, 1603 Sir Edward Swyft married Elizabeth, daught er o f Edmund Sheffield, earl of Mulgrave, but died in his father’s lifet ime ; his widow remarried Sir John Bourchier. His father, Sir Robert Swyf t, w as knighted by James the First at the Manor, in York, on Sunday th e 17t h of April, 1603 whilst his Majesty was on his way to take possessi on o f the throne of England.
We are not informed of the period of the death of Sir Edward Swyft, bu t i t was at some time previously to the 15th of September, 1617, as on t ha t day Sir Robert Swyft made a settlement of his estates, both those wh ic h were the inheritance of his first wife, and those which were his ow n in heritance, on Barnham Swyft, his eldest son, Sir Edward Swyft bein g the n dead.
