  • * The head of a Yorkshire family of some eminence and distinction. This will makes several additions to the genealogy of the De la Hays. The testator, it appears, was twice married. His first wife Elizabeth, who was probably the mother of his children, was buried in the monastery at Ellerton. To his second wife he took another Elizabeth, a daughter of John Woodruffe (of Wolley ?), and widow of James Cresacre of Barnborough, who survived him, and made her will in 1434, under which year it will be found.
  • (Sir) Thomas De la Hay, the eldest son of the testator, married a daughter of Sir William Babthorpe of Babthorpe, by whom he left five daughters and coheirs, who carried the representation of his house into the families of Vavasour, Hildyard, Knight, and Thwaites. From the date of his own will, and the absence of his name in the present document, he probably had died just before the date of his father's will. By his will, dated July 1, 1426, in which he calls himself Thomas del Hay, son of Peter del Hay de Spaldyngton, he directs his body to be buried in the conventual church of Ellerton, near Elizabeth his mother. He mentions his brother Robert del Hay, and Joan his own wife, and his children. The wills of several other members of this family may be found in Testamenta Eboracensia, Part I. to which I must refer my readers.
  • † In all probability the same person who was made prebendary of Givendale, in the church of York, in 1420. He was also rector of Brantingham, where his father appears to have had considerable property, which he leaves to him in his will. Brantingham was a living in the gift of the prior and convent of Durham ; and he was probably indebted for his preferment to the kind offices of his father, who may perhaps have held some office there under the monastery. He died in 1448, and administration of his effects was granted on the 8th of January, 1448-9, to Thomas Ellerbek, rector of St. Martin's Conystreet, in York, and William Crosby of Cave.
  • ‡ Several notices of this family will occur under the will of Elizabeth del Hay, in 1434.

  • 84 HAY. -- The church of Aughton was given to the Priory of Ellerton, in Spalding-Moor, of the Derwent; and was an ancient rectory of the patronage of the Del Hay's, Knights, and was afterwards given to this Priory. Roger Hay was patron of the church of Acton. Nicholas, son of Sir Roger Hay, of Acton, in 1268, 52 Henry III., gave his windmill, with its appurtenances, in Goodmanham ; which Peter son of Peter de Malolacu confirmed to the above Priory. In 1321, Robert Vavasour complains that The de la Hay drove 300 sheep out of his manor of Friston, taking them to the King's manor of Thorne, and putting them in custody of Thomas D'Eyvill, Seneschal of Pontefract, as the King's chattels. Elizabeth de Hay was the 4th Prioress of Thickett,in 1333. For Peter de la Haia (Hay), see Burton's Mon. Ebor., pp. 254, 9, 262, 395; and for Richd. de la Hay, pp. 106, 393, &c. Peter del Hay, lord of Spaldington, by will, proved in 1431, ordered his body to be interred next to Elizabeth his wife, at Ellerton Priory. Thos., son of Peter del Hay, by will, proved in 1427, ordered his body to be interred at Ellerton Priory, next to his mother. Robert de la Hay gave lands in Hagenby, to Helagh Park Priory, near Tadcaster. Henry de Hay gave 8d. annuity, out of a tenement in Balne, to Selby Abbey. For Ralph de Haya, and Angot de la Haya, see hereafter, under Barlings. Peter del Hay, de Apaldyngton, by will dated Feb. 14th, 1345, bequeathed half a quarter of corn for each order of Friars. John del Hay, de spaldyngton, June 23rd, 1391, bequeathed 13s. 4d. to every order of Minors, Preachers, Augustinians, and Carmelites. Wm. Hai, with others, is witness to a deed of Emma Hai, of a bovate of land, to Thickhed Nunnery, in Dugdale's Monast., iv. 386. ____________________________
