PLANTS OF ST LOUIS, MISSOURI - AN INTRODUCTION<br />
by W K <strong>Plant</strong><br />
The <strong>Plant</strong>s of St Louis have occupied a place in the hxstory of that city<br />
and a Mr Alfred <strong>Plant</strong> who lived XI Webster Grove, Missouri at the end<br />
of the last century claimed to have traced his ancentry back some three<br />
hundred years to the County Palatine of Chester England.<br />
Around 1600 there were two brothers, Samuel and John <strong>Plant</strong>. From the<br />
latter of these two brothers the followzng line was descended: John:<br />
Thomas: George: Samuel (who married Ann Halgh and lived xn Macclesfxeld)<br />
and Samuel who moved to Boston, Massachusetts between 1790 and 1800 and<br />
married there, Mary D Polgnaud, a Boston lady of Huguenot ancestry.<br />
This Samuel <strong>Plant</strong> was sent to America by his uncle: a Mr HaSgh, who was<br />
a manufacturer of woollen cloths at Leeds, to sell his goods. An American<br />
headquarters was set up at Boston from where he travelled extensively<br />
selling goods Imported from the UK.<br />
Some years later he xmported from England, plans for cotton machinery<br />
and built in 1809, the first cotton factory III Worcester County,<br />
Massachusetts, the factory being located at Clinton.<br />
Samuel was the father of sxx sons and sxx daughters, the names of the<br />
sons being, George, Frederick Willlam, Samuel, Alfred, William M and Henry.<br />
It is believed that they all moved to St Louls and became actxve In the<br />
development of that cz~ty through the 19th century. It is known that Alfred<br />
lived in Webster Grove, Missour in 1897 but nothing is known of the other<br />
members of the family or their descendents.
From the nformatlon above the followng line can be establxshed.<br />

PLANTS NEAR BASLOW prepared by W Keith <strong>Plant</strong><br />
from information provided by John Stewart <strong>Plant</strong><br />
<strong>Plant</strong>s are recorded in the parish of Great Longstone from the commencement<br />
(1639) of Its Register. BehInd the parish church of the Holy Trrnlty, at<br />
A&ford-u-the-Water (which 1s near the village of Great Longstone), are the<br />
traces of a moat; this is all that remains of the fortified house whxh was<br />
the home of Edmund <strong>Plant</strong>agenet, brother of Edward II (cuca 1300).<br />
F3ve mles east of Ashford-in-the-Water 1s the village of Edensor, in<br />
Chatsworth Park which has been the family seat of all the Earls and Dukes<br />
of DevonshIre. The fust house at Chatsworth, of whxh any record has<br />
survived, was begun in 1552 by the parents of the first Earl, three years<br />
after they had bought the estate; these lnstlgators were Sxr Wllllam Cavendlsh<br />
and Elxabeth Hardwick. Hardwlck Hall, which 1s some 15 miles to the east,<br />
was planned in 1595.<br />
The orlgu~al Regxter for the parish of Edensor was started xn 1539 and the<br />
Register for a chapelry lmmedutely to the north, the Bakewell chapelry of<br />
Baslow, was started in 1569. Other parishes that adJoIn Baslow with their<br />
dates of first Registers are, In down-view clockwise order from Edensor;<br />
Bakewell. (1614), Great Longstone (1639) to the west of Baslow, Stoney Middleton<br />
(1715), Eyam (1630), Hathersage (1627) to the north, Homlesfxld (1730), Barlow<br />
(1573), Old Brampton (1658) to the east, and Beeley (1538).<br />
As shown on page 6 of Journal, No. 1 the UK population dropped as a result<br />
of the Black Death of 1348 and the estimated number of <strong>Plant</strong>s in the UK of<br />
1000 ln 1345 may not have been reattained until some 200 years later. By<br />
the year 1640 It has been estimated that there was approxunately 1500 <strong>Plant</strong>s<br />
m Brltaln as a whole. At this time the village of Eyam (5 miles NW of<br />
Baslow), whxch 1s famous for a later plague, stood remote and isolated, 800<br />
ft up among the DerbyshIre peaks, yet It could not escape the plague that<br />
was then ragxng x.n London. In 1665 a box of clothing, Infected with plague<br />
germs, was sent to Eyam's tallor, George Vxars, who became Infected and died.<br />
The village rector, Wllllam Mompesson, pursuaded the villagers to stay, and<br />
so stopped the plague spreading; but out of an estimated population of 350<br />
some 250, died, lncludlng Mompesson's wife.<br />
From the early parish registers speclfically of Great Longstone and Edensor<br />
the following have been extracted.

Most of the names are written in a Latin form with William appearing usually<br />
as Gullielmus, Richard as Richardus, and Robert sometimes in an abbreviated<br />
form such as Robtus. For baptisms, only the father's name 1s often given<br />
maklng it more dlfflcult to piece the records together Into families,<br />
especially as many of the Individual forenames that recur clearly must refer<br />
to more than one parson.<br />

PLANTS IN THE PUBLICATIONS OF TFIE LONDON RECORD SOCIETY<br />
The London Record Society was formed in 1964 to publish important primary sources for the<br />
history of London. It publishes a document each year, most of which make fascinating<br />
detailed reading. I have tracked down a few references to <strong>Plant</strong>s in London among these<br />
documents, which “Roots & Branches” readers might find useful.<br />
1. “London Inhabitants within the Walls”, published in 1966, is a survey, almost a census,<br />
of residents in the City in 1695. The information source is the tax assessment reports<br />
for a tax imposed by Wrlliam & Mary on all burials, births and marriages, as well as an<br />
annual tax on bachelors over 25 years old. Two <strong>Plant</strong>s are listed in this survey ;<br />
Reb (presumably Rebecca) <strong>Plant</strong>, a widow in the Parish of St Mary at Hill<br />
Ric (presumably Richard) <strong>Plant</strong>, a servant in the Parish of St Andrew<br />
Undershaft.<br />
The book gives information which could be used to access the source records. These<br />
would provide further information about residents in the same household (if any), and<br />
an indication of what they were taxed for.<br />
2. Richard Hutton’s Complaints Book, is a record kept by the Steward of the Clerkenwel<br />
Quaker Workhouse between 1711 and 1735. It was published by the LRS in 1987.<br />
Hutton records a Committee meeting on 13 September 1725, at which John <strong>Plant</strong>was<br />
Chairman. The meeting awarded Hutton a pay Increase on the condition that he would<br />
never again ask for an increase, and would continue in the service of the Workhouse<br />
for the rest of his working hfe !<br />
At a later Committee meeting (9 October 1727), John <strong>Plant</strong> was again present, but not<br />
noted as Chairman. This meeting instructed Hutton not to readmit children who had<br />
run away from the workhouse, except at a monthly meetmg. The reason for this was<br />
“the great inconveniency of the chtldren running away from this house, and thereby<br />
taking the opportunity of telling diverse notorious lies to the prejudice of the same and<br />
scandalising the government thereof”.<br />
Presumably this John <strong>Plant</strong> could be traced from contemporary Quaker records<br />
3. The London Pollbooks of 1713, (published 1981), lists everybody who voted in the<br />
general election of 1713 in the City. It refers to a John <strong>Plant</strong>, a weaver. He is recorded<br />
as voting for the 4 candidates on the Whig ticket.<br />

- The story so far -<br />
Estate given by Richard de Bradwell to his younger son Thomas de Halleworth<br />
about the time of Edward I.<br />
Helleworths (Elworths) succeeded by the Rowans.<br />
Estate passed through Mary, daughter of Wm Rowen to Thomas Hulse at the end<br />
of the 17th Century.<br />
The Hulse family remained in possession until the death of John Hulse in 1790<br />
who in his will left the Hall for life to his servants Thomas and Elizabeth<br />
<strong>Plant</strong>.<br />
Thomas died in 1828 and his will made 1 May 1827 gives details of his family.<br />
Thomas and Elizabeth had five children, Sarah (bt 19 December 1777), Alice<br />
(bt 5 November 1779), Thomas (bt 19 August 1781 d 16 February 1828) 7 days<br />
before his father, Eliz (bt 17 November 1783) and John (bt 13 June 1790).<br />
On the death of Thomas senior, his second son John took over residence of<br />
the hall.<br />
John married Sarah Wolfe c 1815. Sarah was born 1798, the daughter of Samuel<br />
Wolfe and Mary Wolfe nee Reene of Warmingham.<br />
For further information see Journal No's. 1 and 2. -<br />
The story now continues:<br />
John & Sarah had ten children. Thomas born 1817, Mary born 1819, Samuel<br />
born 1820, Eliz. born 1822, Ann born 1823, John born 1825, Joseph born<br />
1827, Eliz. born 1829, Henry born 1830 and Emila born 1832.<br />
Of these children, four died young leaving Thomas, Samuel, Ann, John,<br />
Joseph and Emila, all of whom are mentioned in the will of John <strong>Plant</strong>.<br />
This will is a lengthy document containing some 32 pages. From the will,<br />
proved in 1849, the following notes relate to bequests made to his<br />
surviving children.<br />

John <strong>Plant</strong> owned Elworth Hall and Estate (estate held on behalf of<br />
the University of Cambridge).<br />
Hall and Estate left to his son Thomas.<br />
Farm attached to Hall left to his son Thomas.<br />
All warehouses, buildings, lands, heriditaments in Brown Street,<br />
New Market Lane and Sussex Street in Manchester, left to his son<br />
Samuel. (This property was left to him by a John Holford on his<br />
death in 1832 and comprised a house in Brown Street, the ajoining<br />
warehouse fronting Sussex Street and property in New Mafket Lane.)<br />
All property in Holmes Chapel left to his son John.<br />
27
6. Sum of three thousand pounds left to his son John.<br />
7. All property in Wheelock, Sandbach, including Nags Head Inn, Brewery<br />
and buildings, left to his son Joseph.<br />
8. All property in Newton near Middlewich, left to his son Joseph.<br />
9. Share of Brewery partnership left to his son Joseph.<br />
10, Control of Brewery by Trustees until Joseph reaches age of 25.<br />
11. Sum of five thousand pounds left to Joseph.<br />
12. All estate, salt works, brine pits, reservoirs, warehouses, tenement<br />
cottages, buildings, boat, dock, gardens, lands, hereditaments and<br />
premises called Malkins Bank, ,estate in Betchton, left to his<br />
daughter, Ann, wife of Joseph Lea and their children.<br />
13 Sum of f5,OOO (f136,OOO at 1985 value) left to executors to invest,<br />
all dividends and income to be paid to his daughter Emila.<br />
14. Emila went to work for Mrs Brovn at Lea Castle near Kidderminster.<br />
Mrs Brown appointed as Guardian of Emila with an understanding that<br />
she would perform the duties of a Mother-to-her.<br />
Note - Lea Castle was the home of the Knight family of Cookley. The castle<br />
no longer exists.<br />
Subsequently Emila's financial affairs and inheritance became complicated.<br />
On 12 October 1864 her brother, the Rev. Samuel <strong>Plant</strong>, of Weston-on-Trent,<br />
wrote to her at length on family matters assuring her that 'There does<br />
not appear to me to be the least reason to suppose that you will not have<br />
a very tolerable competence, tho' not so much as my Father intended'.<br />
However an unfortunate law suit took place in 1876-8 concerning the brine<br />
pits, these pits coming into her possession on the death of her sister<br />
Ann. There are a number of letters at this time between Emily (the records<br />
show that by now she was known as Emily) and Edward S Woolf, her cousin,<br />
together with some letters from her brother the Rev. Samuel <strong>Plant</strong>, usually<br />
urging caution and patience. At first the correspondence is friendly but<br />
by 12 June 1876 proceedings were 'ceasing to be in the shape of a friendly<br />
suit'. By 2 March 1878 they had become 'hostile' and the notion of a<br />
division of costs between the litigants and their lawyers 'could not be<br />
entertained for a moment'. What happened was that Emily's executors sold<br />
her share of the brine pits, by some legal manoeuvre, to the firm of Brunner<br />
Mond (later I.C.I.). They were sued and the case was van but the costs<br />
absorbed most of the money.<br />
Emily/Emila <strong>Plant</strong>, bt. 5 April 1832 married Ezra Harthan JP (1835 - 1917)<br />
and lived at Blackacres, Sandbach. She died March 1895 at Congleton.<br />
Owning considerable property elsewhere possibly explains why John <strong>Plant</strong><br />
did not make more effort to obtain the freehold of Elworth Hall from St<br />
Johns College, Cambridge. This was a distinct possibility in the early<br />
19th century. Legal enquiries were made. One of the <strong>Plant</strong> lawyers<br />
consulted Lord Brougham, the great lawyer, about the family title to the<br />
Elworth Hall Estate. Brougham replied 'What sort of man is your client<br />
Mr <strong>Plant</strong>' to tihich the 'family'lawyer answered 'a most honourable gentleman'.<br />
Lord Brougham's reply was, 'as far as I can see he might have stuck to<br />
it (ie Elworth)'.<br />

John's second son, Samuel (born 1820), was admitted as a scholar at<br />
Manchester Grammar School on 10 February 1834. The followrng extract<br />
from the Admission Register of Manchester School, grves a brief resume<br />
of his career.<br />
10 February 1834 Samuel, son of John <strong>Plant</strong>, farmer of Sandbach.<br />
'The father of this scholar occupred and lived at Elworth<br />
Hall, Sandbach, the estate out of which the Hulsean<br />
ScholarshIps annual prize, Christian advocateshlp and<br />
lectureship at Cambridge are endowed. The estate was left<br />
by the Rev. John Hulse, who hrmself lived there, to Thomas<br />
and Elxzabeth, the grandfather and grandmother of this<br />
scholar (the latter being hxs relative) for their lives<br />
and afterwards for the endowment mentioned above. The<br />
estate 1s still occupxd by members of the <strong>Plant</strong> family.<br />
Samuel <strong>Plant</strong> the second of a family of four sons and two<br />
daughters, was elected a Somerset scholar of Brazenose<br />
College Oxford and graduated BA on 2 May 1844 and MA on<br />
22 April 1847. Ho was ordalned in 1845 to the curacy of<br />
29
St Johns, Hanley, Staffs, which he held until 1849 when<br />
he was presented to the vicarage of Weston upon Trent near<br />
Stafford where he 1s now resident. Mr <strong>Plant</strong> has for many<br />
years been one of the secretaries of the board of education<br />
for the archdeaconry of Stafford and has publlshed<br />
1. Some remarks on Mining Accidents (1851).<br />
2. Parachlal Sermons preached at Weston upon Trent (1857).<br />
3. An account of Weston upon Trent (1868).<br />
He subsequently became Rural Dean of Stafford and Probendary of L&%eld.<br />
He was married III 1863 to Antlonette Sarah, daughter of Mr Charles<br />
Fourdrlner formerly of Chell, StaffordshIre.<br />
The Fourdriners were orIgInally a Huguenot family who settled zn England.<br />
The most notable member of the family was Cardinal John Henry Newman<br />
(1801-1890) whose mother was a Fourdriner. He presented a bible to his<br />
cousin Antoinette Sarah, wife of Samuel <strong>Plant</strong>, with an affectlonate<br />
inscrlptlon on the title page.<br />
The Rev. Samuel and Antoinette <strong>Plant</strong> had a large family including a<br />
daughter, another Antoinette (1854-1938) who married the Rev. Phxlip Crick.<br />
Philip and Antoinette Crick were the parents of two bishops one the Bishop<br />
of Chester.<br />
One of Samuel and Antoinette <strong>Plant</strong>'s sons was a Charles Thomas (1856-1932)<br />

of Sabinas, Coqhulla. He married a Mexican and had a large family,<br />
lncludlng Anita (b. 1907). She married in 1948, her second couszn<br />
Noel <strong>Plant</strong> (b. 1899), an actor and sometime manager of the Strand Theatre,<br />
London. Anita, her brothers and sxters, have numerous descendants with<br />

BOUND APPRENTICES - U S A by W Keith <strong>Plant</strong><br />
The following note was extracted from the Chester Corporation Records Mayors<br />
Book labelled 1697-8.<br />
"Servants bound apprentxes for Vlrglnla to Wll.lxm~ Ford of Dublin<br />
on board the Expedition of Dublin 21 September 1698.<br />
William <strong>Plant</strong> of Alderley Cheshire - Yeoman - for 7 years."<br />
Earlier emigrants had to have a certlfxate from their local Minister or<br />
J.P testifyxng to their conformity to the government of the Church of England<br />
and allegiance to the Sovereigns. By the end of the century all that was<br />
needed of them was a wllluxgness to cross the Atlantx and bind themselves<br />
L" consideration of a certain Image, to same as 'servants', or 'apprentxes'<br />
for a term of years, in one or other of the colonies.<br />
Emigrants were bound to serve I" the colony to which they were carried.<br />
Sometimes, as in the case of Willlam <strong>Plant</strong>, they were bound to the captain<br />
of the ship, he trading them either as his own or his owners venture and<br />
making over their indentures, to any colonial planter In want of labour or,<br />
a" agent working on behalf of a colonial planter. AlternatIvely, Wm Ford<br />
of Dublin may have been a merchant acting for certain colonists. In this<br />
case the emxgrants would have been assigned to the approprxate colonist or<br />
scul1ng.

ROBERT PLANT - Clerk by W K <strong>Plant</strong><br />
Whilst looking through the Eluabethan Chancery Proceedings I came across<br />
the following:<br />
Writ dated at Westminster 22 May 10 Elizabeth (1568) to Sir Nicholas<br />
Bacon, knight.<br />
Showeth unto your lordshlp that your orator Robert <strong>Plant</strong>, clerk, of<br />
Tetsworth co. Stafford about 14 years ago became bound for one, Sir<br />
Wllllam Brerton, deceased in an obligation of 20 marks*to be pald<br />
at a certain date. The debt was not pald and your orator not only<br />
forfejted his bond but has sustained other great loss. After the<br />
death of Sir Wzillxam, Dame Jane, his widow and executix, did not deny<br />
the debt but asked for time in which to pay It. She has since married<br />
Sir Lawrence Smythe who has take upon himself the admu~lstratlon of<br />
the goods of Sir Wllllam Brerton, but utterly refuses<br />
to pay your orator the money due to him.<br />
The answer of Sir Lawrence Smythe and Dame Jane his wife sworn 13<br />
June 1567:-<br />
The defendants deny all the allegations made ln the bill.<br />
The Robert <strong>Plant</strong> referred to above may be the Robert <strong>Plant</strong> who was rector<br />
of Swettenham Church, Cheshire between 1557 and 1563.<br />
In the list of Clerical Changes for 1563, his name appears and against It<br />
egr (sxk) and a later note reads 'The Bxhop referred him to the CommTssjon'<br />
However, at a date apparently subsequent to this, his name has been struck<br />
through and that of Randle Barns interlined.<br />
Randle Barns was present at the 1565 visitation. Though this looks as if<br />
Robert <strong>Plant</strong> had been depraved, there 1s actual evidence that he slgned<br />
the Three Articles ~.n 1563 and moreover he flgures in a Swettenham ~111<br />
case in December 1563 as follows:<br />
Robert <strong>Plant</strong> of Swettenham - Extract from Chester Depositions 1563<br />
regarding the character of Lawrence Swetman witness in a ~111 case<br />
16 December 1563.<br />
"Richard Ridgway of the parish of Prestbury aged 28 thlnketh Elxabeth<br />
Taillour 1s an honest woman, but her husband 1s tenaunt to Thomas<br />
Swetman ., . . . , . . - . decxt that John New111 is servant to the<br />
said Thomas and hath bene a good while . . . , y , . thank Robert <strong>Plant</strong><br />
much favoureth the part of Thomas Swetmam; yet he thinks he would<br />
not, for his friendship, break his othe"<br />
What happened to Robert <strong>Plant</strong> I know not - If the two are the same then<br />
It would be lnterestug to know the <strong>full</strong> story.<br />
* A mark was not a coin in England but was used as a unit ln accountancy.<br />
IL was valued at 13/4d. On this basis Robert <strong>Plant</strong> was owed f14<br />
which at todays rate = f1,260.<br />
