Edward died in 1594without surviving issue, '''leaving Halsall his estates and acollection of books apt to the study of the Common Law.15 At anearly age Halsall became a frequent guest of Henry, 4th earl of Derbyat Knowsley, whose illegitimate daughter Dorothy he married in around1588.16 After pursuing a gentlemans education at Oxford and GraysInn, he probably served as a volunteer in Ireland with the 2nd earl ofEssex, by whom he was knighted at Dublin in 1599.17 *'''On achieving his majority in the mid-1590s, Halsall, whoseextensive estates comprised ten manors in West Derby hundred andAmounderness,18 found an immediate place on the bench, and served assheriff of Lancashire in 1601.19 Although removed from the bench forsuspected Catholicism early in Jamess reign, he subsequentlyconformed and was reinstated in about 1609, serving as sheriff againin 1612.20 He maintained cordial relations''' with the Stanleys,asking William 6th earl of Derby, his wifes kinsman, to be party toan indenture for '''his eldest daughters''' marriage in 1611.21'''Elected for the senior knighthood of the shire in 1614, Halsallleft no trace at all upon the records of that brief and troubledParliament. In the following year he was elected mayor of Liverpool,but he carried out most of his duties by deputy.22 *'''Halsall seems to have lived beyond his means, and in around 1614he began 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,which Halsall had attempted to buy in 1614 but found he could notafford, resulted in a series of petitions to the House of Lords in the1620s. The matter was finally resolved in his favour by Chancery onlyseveral years after his death.26 '''In many cases Halsall himselfinitiated litigation against those he had failed to repay''', such asAnthony Scarisbrick, a London Mercer and possibly his motherskinsman, who was accused of keeping a chain of pearls and two jewelsthat Halsall had pawned.27 '''Shortage of money did not deter Halsallfrom resorting to the courts, for his opponents frequently accused himof vexing them with multiplicity of suits, in both the duchy courtand Chancery.28 His name appears as a deletion in the Forced Loancommission 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 manors customary rights of shipwreck. Indeed, his heirs werelater sued because on one occasion Halsall had unlawfully seized aships 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. Brides, 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 theHalsall estate from its purchaser, Sir Charles Gerrard.33 '''DameDorothy lived at Salwick, the last remaining property that had come toHalsall from his grandmothers dower, which finally passed to theirdaughter''' Anne Clifton as her jointure. Halsall had no male heirs. *From:http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1604-1629/member/halsall-sir-cuthbert-1573-1632 ______________________________ *('''Other references list his death in 1632''') *'''Sir Cuthbert Halsall (died 1619) was an English politician who satin the House of Commons in 1614. *'''Halsall was the eldest son''' of Richard Halsall of Halsall andhis wife Ann Barlow, daughter of Alexander Barlow.

'''Dorothy married CuthbertHalsall of Halsall and Selwich, Lancashire (c.1573-1632), naturalson''' of Richard Halsall. '''Cuthbert had been adopted by hisfathers family and inherited the bulk of the estate of his paternalgrandmother''', Ann Molyneux Halsall, '''in 1587. He ran throughalmost the entire fortune during his lifetime. Dorothy and Cuthberthad two daughters''', Ann (d.1675) and Bridget. Dorothy was friendswith Margaret Gerard, Lady Legh and a letter is extant, dated March12, 1596, when '''both their husbands were in military service withthe earl of Essex''', in which she asks that gentlewoman to give themessenger who brought it the oil of almonds Margaret had promised tosend. Described by one historian as "a lady of a petulant and vividtemperament," Dorothy apparently fascinated her brother-in-law, thepoet John Salusbury, who had married her sister Ursula in 1586. (seeURSULA STANLEY) Ursula was the mother of his ten children butDorothy's name turns up in anagrams in his poems. '''In the 1620s and30s, Cuthbert was frequently in the Fleet for debt and died there inFebruary 1632. Dorothy petitioned the king and managed to salvage partof the Halsall estate. She lived at Selwich in her widowhood. *From: http://www.kateemersonhistoricals.com/TudorWomenH-He.htm _________________________ *'''The Derby Household Books: Comprising an Account of the Household...

'''He is described in a deposition preliminary to adivorce of his daughter and her affianced husband, "Cuthbert Halsall,alias Norris," and afterwards "Cuthbert Halsall, whose mother was'''Jenet Scarisbricke." '''He was, however, adopted by his father'sfamily, nor is it improbable that his parents were afterwards married,as this son succeeded to the ancient patrimonial inheritance.

She gave to her Right Hon. and very good LordHenry Earl of Derby the best oxe she should happen to have at herdecease, and to Mrs. Anne Stanley, daughter of the said Earl, to whomshe was god-mother, one tablet of gold weighing v'li by estimation.She bequeathed to her cousin Sir Richard Molyneux, to her servant Mr.Edward Halsall, to *https://archive.org/stream/derbyhouseholdb00ffargoog#page/n267/mode/1up *each of her four cousins Edward Standishe, Richard Molyneux ofCunscough Esq., John Molyneux, Thomas Woodfall, and to her sisterJane, wife of James Booth of Hollin Green, a fat oxe ; to Richard, sonof Gilbert Halsall, xl's ; and '''all the rest of her estate, real andpersonal, to Cuthbert Halsall when of the age of 21, withoutmentioning his affinity or the nature of his consanguinity either toher or to her deceased husband'''. She appointed Edward Norris Esq.and Richard Duddyll licr executors and trustees, and required them torender an account of their trust to Henry Earl of Derby and to '''thesaid Cuthbert Halsall when he attained his majority''', and shedesired the Earl to be the supervisor of her Will, which was proved atChester July 10th 1587. The testatrix was the sister and co-heiress ofher only uterine brother Thomas, eldest son of Sir William Molyneux byhis second wife, the said Thomas having no issue by Cicely, daughterof Alexander Osbaldeston of Osbaldeston Esq., the sister in half bloodof John Osbaldeston Esq. who married Dame Jane Halsall (see page 120,Note), and the Cliftons by frequent intermarriages were very near ofkin to her ; but it would not be edifying, and it is unnecessary toattempt to unravel these startling family intricacies.''' "Yong Mr.Halsall," who seems at this time to have been betrothed to his futurewife, married "Mrs. Dorothy," natural daughter''' of Henry Earl ofDerby, '''by whom he had issue two daughters, his coheiresses, viz.'''Ann and Bridget. The former married her kinsman Thomas Clifton ofClifton and Weetby, and the latter was contracted in her minority toThomas Halsall of Bickerstaff, nephew of Richard Halsall of Melling, acollateral branch of her father's family (see page 119, Note); butowing to the intrigues and interdiction of her mother '''Dame DorothyHalsall''', who was a lady of a petulant and vivid temperament andwell disposed to proscribe all dispensations and indulgences on thescore of consanguinity, the original marriage contract was cancelled,the marriage not consummated, and a divorce sued for and obtained inthe Consistory Court of Chester, much to the mortification at least ofthe juvenile bridegroom elect, as he lugubriously stated in hisdeposition. The lady was afterwards the wife of Thomas, son of SirThomas Crompton LL.D. Chancellor of London. Her husband died in 1641,aet. 72.
