Dorothy married CuthbertHalsall of Halsall and Selwich, Lancashire (c.1573-1632), natural sonof Richard Halsall. Cuthbert had been adopted by his father’s familyand inherited the bulk of the estate of his paternal grandmother, AnnMolyneux Halsall, in 1587. He ran through almost the entire fortuneduring his lifetime. Dorothy and Cuthbert had two daughters, '''Ann(d.1675)''' and Bridget. Dorothy was friends with Margaret Gerard,Lady Legh and a letter is extant, dated March 12, 1596, when boththeir husbands were in military service with the earl of Essex, inwhich she asks that gentlewoman to give the messenger who brought itthe oil of almonds Margaret had promised to send. Described by onehistorian as "a lady of a petulant and vivid temperament," Dorothyapparently fascinated her brother-in-law, the poet John Salusbury, whohad married her sister Ursula in 1586. (see URSULA STANLEY) Ursula wasthe mother of his ten children but Dorothy's name turns up in anagramsin his poems. In the 1620s and 30s, Cuthbert was frequently in theFleet for debt and died there in February 1632. Dorothy petitioned theking and managed to salvage part of the Halsall estate. She lived atSelwich in her widowhood. *From: http://www.kateemersonhistoricals.com/TudorWomenH-He.htm _________________________ *HALSALL, Sir Cuthbert (c.1573-1632), of Halsall and Salwick, Lancs. *b. c.1573, illegit. 1st s. of Richard Halsall (d.1573), of Halsalland Janet Scarisbrick.1 educ.

Edward died in 1594 withoutsurviving issue, leaving Halsall his estates and a collection of books‘apt to the study of the Common Law’.15 At an early age Halsall becamea frequent guest of Henry, 4th earl of Derby at Knowsley, whoseillegitimate daughter Dorothy he married in around 1588.16 Afterpursuing a gentleman’s education at Oxford and Gray’s Inn, he probablyserved as a volunteer in Ireland with the 2nd earl of Essex, by whomhe was knighted at Dublin in 1599.17 *On achieving his majority in the mid-1590s, Halsall, whose extensiveestates comprised ten manors in West Derby hundred and Amounderness,18found an immediate place on the bench, and served as sheriff ofLancashire in 1601.19 Although removed from the bench for suspectedCatholicism early in James’s reign, he subsequently conformed and wasreinstated in about 1609, serving as sheriff again in 1612.20 Hemaintained cordial relations with the Stanleys, asking William 6thearl of Derby, his wife’s kinsman, to be party to an indenture for hiseldest daughter’s marriage in 1611.21 Elected for the seniorknighthood of the shire in 1614, Halsall left no trace at all upon therecords of that brief and troubled Parliament. In the following yearhe was elected mayor of Liverpool, but he carried out most of hisduties by deputy.22 *Halsall seems to have lived beyond his means, and in around 1614 hebegan to liquidate his assets by mortgaging outlying properties andleasing various parcels of land.23 His impending financialdifficulties were apparent by 1618, when he started borrowing heavily.Despite his inability to manage his own affairs, he stood as suretyfor various friends, and found himself liable for their unpaid debtsas well as his own.24 By the late 1620s he was being pursued bynumerous creditors.25 A dispute concerning the manor of Prees, whichHalsall had attempted to buy in 1614 but found he could not afford,resulted in a series of petitions to the House of Lords in the 1620s.The matter was finally resolved in his favour by Chancery only severalyears after his death.26 In many cases Halsall himself initiatedlitigation against those he had failed to repay, such as AnthonyScarisbrick, a London Mercer and possibly his mother’s kinsman, whowas accused of keeping a chain of pearls and two jewels that Halsallhad pawned.27 Shortage of money did not deter Halsall from resortingto the courts, for his opponents frequently accused him of vexing themwith ‘multiplicity of suits’, in both the duchy court and Chancery.28His name appears as a deletion in the Forced Loan commission of 1627,by which time he was completely insolvent.29 *Halsall spent the last years of his life in and out of the Fleet,having entirely dissipated his estates. He made increasingly desperateattempts to redeem the lands upon which his mortgages had beensecured.30 Much of his former land lay along the coast north ofLiverpool, and despite its loss Halsall continued to claim the lord ofthe manor’s customary rights of shipwreck. Indeed, his heirs werelater sued because on one occasion Halsall had unlawfully seized aship’s sailyard, barrels of tallow, and ‘sundry fishes royal, asnamely a shark, a seal, and several porpoises’.31 He died in prisonand was buried at St. Bride’s, Fleet Street on 28 Feb. 1632. His will,dated 27 Feb., demonstrates how little of his inheritance remained. Hebequeathed only minor cash sums to relatives, and instructed hisexecutors to continue the suit for two manors he had sold, Halsall andDownholland, leaving whatever could be recovered to his wifeDorothy.32 After petitioning the king she salvaged part of the Halsallestate from its purchaser, Sir Charles Gerrard.33 Dame Dorothy livedat Salwick, the last remaining property that had come to Halsall fromhis grandmother’s dower, which finally passed to their '''daughterAnne Clifton as her jointure'''. Halsall had no male heirs. *From:http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1604-1629/member/halsall-sir-cuthbert-1573-1632 ______________ *'''The visitation of the county palatine of Lancaster, made in theyear 1613 by Saint-George, Richard, Sir *https://archive.org/details/visitationofcoun00sainrich *https://archive.org/stream/visitationofcoun00sainrich#page/59/mode/1up ** Halsall. *Henricus Halsal, ar., tempore regis, H. 8. = ; ch: Ricardus Halsal **Ricardus Halsal, heres aprens. = ; ch: Cutbert (m.

(fn. 20) Themanors descended regularly to Cuthbert Clifton, (fn. 21) who died 14August 1512, leaving an only daughter Elizabeth, the heir male beinghis brother William. (fn. 22) A division ensued, Clifton going to thedaughter and Westby to the brother, (fn. 23) and thus the Cliftonsbecame known as 'of Westby.'

Shemarried Thomas Clifton of Westby, and the whole estate becamereunited'''. (fn. 26) *It will thus be convenient to give in this place the descent of themanor of Westby.
