Coat of arms of Cyprian Southack of Boston, Mass.

[r***@yahoo.com]

_The Heraldic Journal_ notes that the depiction of arms on the gravestone of Cyprian Southack in the Granary Burial ground, Boston, Mass., was found to match that of "George Sowdeak, grocer" in the "MS. Promptuarium Armorum of Wm. Smith, Rouge-Dragon."

It seems that something similar, along with a pedigree chart including the said George Sowdeake, grocer of London, occurs in the 1568 Visitation of London:

Fisher's Catalogue of the Tombs in the Churches of the City of London, A.D. 1666 provides more detail on the pedigree subject:

"Gunston. Philip Gunter, Esq; Alderman, of London, d. 1582, at. 92. & wife Anne, dau. of Henry Barley, of Albery, co. Hertford, Esq., 1585. & dau. Elisabeth, 1621. (S. Michael, Cornhill.) wid. of George Southaicke, of London, a Governor of Bridewell Hospital; father of Appolina Southaicke, who married 1st William ffayrefax, of London, Goldsmith; & 2ndly Thomas Browne, Esq., of Shredicote & Caverswall, co. Stafford, & of Bentley Hall, co. Derby, (b. 1561 : d. 1633.) Procurator-General of the Arches Court of Canterbury, & co-Governor of Charterhouse."

The will of this William Fairfax was published in Misc Gen & Her:

We find the same arms in a later visitation on the distaff side of the Robinson pedigree (1633). It shows Robert Robinson of London Merchant living 1633 (who signed the pedigree), marrying Apulina, daughter of Thomas Southalke of London Merchant. It gives two arms, one a historical quartered Robinson, the other Robinson impaling the arms we have been seeing, with a crest. (I suspect Southalke is a misreading for Southaike. It lacks the annulet difference reported in the 1568 visitation, so perhaps not directly descended from George, else it was just omitted, but the name Apolonia suggests they weren't too distant.)

https://books.google.com/books?id=iKwKAAAAYAAJ&pg=206

With this in mind, I searched for Southaike and variants and find:

Ciprian Southake, bap. 4 Apr 1665, St. Andrew Holborn, son of Ciprian and Elizabeth

Cyprian Southake of Faccombe, scrivener. Reprieved for transportation for Barbadoes Jly 1681. Hampshire.

I don't know enough about this family to know if this is a match or just a likely kinsman.

Interesting finds, taf. The _Dictionary of Canadian Biography_ has an entry on him, under "Southack," naming his parents as Cyprian and Elizabeth of London.

"SOUTHACK, CYPRIAN, cartographer, naval commander, member of the Nova Scotia Council; b. 1662 in London, England, son of Cyprian Southack and Elizabeth Oakley ..."

http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/southack_cyprian_3E.html

The 1665 baptism you mention is probably close enough to be the same guy, given the very unusual name.

Three generations of the Cumberland family found in the Cal of IPMs, HVII:

John Southayke, fl 20 H VI, father of:
William Southayke, d. 7 April 1483, held several messuages in Cumberland.
Nicholas Southayke, aged 28, son and heir.

https://books.google.com/books?id=GFVOAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA45

The above John may be the one named in the CCR in 1426, when the escheator for Cumberland was ordered to take an oath from Agnes, widow of Patrick de Southayke in the presence of his cousin and heir, John de Southayke, son of William, son of the said Patrick.

* Will of Robert Jenkinson (1617) names, with others, widow Margaret, son George, sister Southaike, sons-in-law Richard Moorer and Thomas Southaike and their wives, godson George Southaike, daughter Bridget given in marriage to John Robinson (1633 shows him as brother of Robert, husband of Jenkinson's granddaughter Apulina Southeike). It is unclear who the 'sister Southaike' might have been. The obvious person is Elizabeth (Gunter) Southaike, but the sister(-in-law) relationship could have arisen multiple different ways. The will of Philip Gunter names sons-in-law Thomas Altham (Phillip[a]), John Polsaind (sp? [Polsanul, Polsaunt (but unlikely as ending upright uncrossed), Paulsamd], Elizabeth), Thomas Forman (Margaret) and George Southaike (Elizabeth, again), along with sons Francis, Philip and Thomas, so no Jenkinson at that time.

Interesting about the 1689 death. Somewhere--and I can't locate it again, apparently--there is a letter, dated spring 1690, by Cyprian Southack of New England, written to "his father and mother."

This might show the New Englander's father was still alive past the 1689 date, but it also seems very possible that he didn't know of his father's recent death.

I did turn up another set of records. The Admiralty has three communications written in August 1678 by Cyprian Southaick from "the Turkey frigate, the Hope" reporting that their captain had just died, discussion crew, provisioning, preparedness for sea, and requesting orders. It is hard to be certain as I only have brief abstracts to go on, but based on mention in the third of the ship's Purser's books, he may have been acting in that role.

Here is Cyprian's letter to Father and Mother, actually dated mid-June 1690:

I am leaning toward the death not being the same man as Cyprian's father. Still, the Frances Southwark born at St Andrew Holborn in 1669, son of Sippiand and Mary, could be the Francis Southworke of East End bur at St. Botolph Aldgate 20 April 1692, just a few years after that Ciprian was bur. there.

I find a link to an article "The New England Coasting Pilot of Cyprian Southack", Clara Egli LeGear, John Nickelis and George Martin, in the journal _Imago Mundi_ Vol. 11 (1954), pp. 137-144, that says he was born 25 March 1662 in London, son of "He was the son of Cyprian Southack, a lieutenant in the British Navy, and Elizabeth Oakley of Stepney, Middlesex, England", Though not identical to the DCB account, my guess is that they share a common source for his origin (unfortunately, it provides no citations for any of this biographical information).

I think it is reasonable to identify this father Cyprian with the man of the Hope in 1678. More debatable is the elder man's identity with the witness of the 1686 will of the Stepney seaman, Richard Bacon - that man's name is appended with "scr." which I take to mean 'scrivener', not a likely occupation for an R.N. Lieutenant. (Also remember we have that Cyprian, a scrivener, sentenced to transportation in 1681.)

I note that the letter mentions communicating with the Admiralty. There are no communications catalogued from this time, though from later there are maps (Colonial Office), plans and a description of coasting (Admiralty) by the New Englander, including one that is abstracted as calling him "Cyprian Southack, London, New England".

marriage of underage daughter +
Barbara Sowthaike, b. ca. 1650, mar.lic. 1669 St. Andrew Holborn,
William Price +

Just exploring variants, in their 2 Dec. 1669 St Andrew Holborn marriage she is Barbary Southwick of St. Dunstan's, London.

I looked at the St Andrew marriages back to 1654 and didn't find one for either Cyprian and Elizabeth nor Cyprian and Mary.

Post by taf
Still, the Frances Southwark born at St Andrew Holborn in 1669, son of
Sippiand and Mary, could be the Francis Southworke of East End bur at St.
Botolph Aldgate 20 April 1692, just a few years after that Ciprian was bur.
there.

That is a false lead. The IGI has the 1669 baptism as being of Francis, but the original record shows it as:

Frances Southwark, daughter of Sippiand & Mary his wife: Coffee house in Chantery Lane nere Holb: 6th [July 1669]

So, no son Francis, a daughter Frances. The earlier baptism of Cyprian is hard to read, being somewhat faded and on a page that has an odd and distracting patterning, but it also places the parents on Chancery Lane, so there seems little doubt that this the the same father with successive marriages to Elizabeth and Mary.

I would also like to revisit the chronology, which I got twisted in my head. If the 1697 source us taking a bit of licence, then the man who served Charles II and his father could actually be the Cyprian bapt in Feb 1637. It was not uncommon to go to sea at 12. That means the 1697 man could be the father of the 1665 baptism, whom we have provisionally identified with the New Englander. That would mean the 1689 death could instead be the father, grandfather of the immigrant. This would give us:

Cyprian, b. say 1615, d. 1689, m. Barbara
Cyprian, bap. 1637, fl. 1697, m1 Elizabeth Oakley, m2 Mary
Cyprian, bap. 1665, immigrant

Note also that this chronology means that a connection to the older family is indeed possible. John Southaike, son of Humphrey and Judith (Smythe), had a son whose fate is unaccounted for after the wills of his parents.

St Olave Silver Street marriages, Henry (sic) Sothaicke and Judith Smithe, July 18 1596

St. Michael Bassishaw christenings, John Sowthack, son of Humphrey Southacke, 10 July 1597

I have not found the daughters; baptisms, nor the parents' burials, but on 27 Oct 1618 St John at Hackney Nicholas Beale married to Judith Southwicke. Her will (1655) does not name her brother but does name:
little kinswoman Katherine Bird, daughter of
son-in-law Randall Bird, Merchant tailor
the rest of his children
aunt Mary Peate
(several people whose bonds she held)
daughter Esther Bird
cousin Elizabeth Ram
cousin John Southwick
cousin Francis Leiving
cousin Robert Southwick
maid Anne Cooke
cousin Joan Kniffen

It would take two 20-year generations for a son of this marriage to have himself had a son by 1637, so it is possible for the eldest Cyprian to have been son of John, son of Humphrey, but the absence of any mention of this John in his sister's will would not be in favor of this.


Some other church records that will help with family geolocation and chronology:

27 Aug 1619 St Mary, Hampton, Richmond upon Thames Margaret, daughter Thomas Southaicke and wife Margaret (must have d.y.)

7 June 1621 St Michael Cornhill Elizabeth Sowthaicke, late wife of George Sowthaicke, buried in the vault of the cloister belonging to the family of Gunters her grandfather

And regarding that Peter buried with George:

22 Nov 1671 Licence Peter Southwicke of St Barthw, Exchange, London, mercht, bachr & Martha Prescott of St Stephen, Coleman St, to be m. at St Barthw the Less

26 Nov 1671, St Botolph, Aldersgate Peter Southwicke and Martha Presiot, by lic.

15 May 1675, St Martin Orgar Peter, son Peter and Martha Southwick, born 11 May

10 Sep 1678, St Martin Orgar Peter, son Peter and Martha Southwich, born 27 Aug

And a few more...

29 Mar 1597 All Hallows Barking, Thomas Browne m. Appelina Fairfax

(second marriage of the daughter of George Southeike)

(children of her brother's daughter Appolina Southaike Robinson)
2 Mar 1619 St Swithin London Stone, Margarett dau Robert Robinson and Ap[damaged]
6 Sep 1626 St Lawrence Pountney, Henry son Robert Robinson marchynt and Appolyna
15 Oct 1629 All Hallows London Wall, Apolina dau Robert Robinson and Apolina
8 Oct 1630 All Hallows London Wall, Wm son Robert Robinson and Appuline

based on these I would reorder the children of Robert Robinson and Apolina (Southaike), listed in visitation divided by gender:
Margaret Robinson 1619
John Robinson ~1623
Bridget Robinson ~1624/5
Henry Robinson 1626
Apolina Robinson 1639
William Robinson 1630 dy
(last two order uncertain)
Robert Robinson ~1631-3
Mary Robinson ~1631-3

I have been able to connect and extend the early part of the Southaik pedigree.

William Southayke of Cumberland, d. 1483 (ipm)
Nicholas Southayke, b. ca. 1454/5, sued Lancelot Hutton in 1504/15 %


A John Suthayke d.1530-1531, and there was an ipm. He left a widow Elizabeth. Reversion of her dower of two meadows in Laithes within Skelton (the seat of the family), belonged to her son Richard Suthayke, chaplain, but he initiated a sale in 1532, but in turn died (with ipm) 1532-3 and the sale was completed by his brother Lancelot Suthayke, chaplain. It was still being fought over in 1548. Since this John's sons was an adult in 1532, this could hardly be John, the elder brother of George, who as fifth son was born ca. 1520. This raises the possibility that George's father William was a younger son or cousin of the main line.

George's father William is likely the William Suthayke of Hardrigg, gentlemen, fl. 1518. Given that George's mother was 'Isabel Hutton', his father is almost certainly the William Suthake who along with Richard Hoton of Hutton Roof esquire and Charles Rabanks gentleman, gave a bond in 1519. He may be the William Suthayk whose ipm also dates to 1530-1531.

In 1563, a John Suthayk was granted lands and rents to the use of Richard Blencow son of Anthony Blencow and of Appolina his wife. He sealed it with arma that were similar but not identical to those of George. Specifically, they and the bend dancetee, with the heart between two swords in chief, but below the bend was a a cross crosslet fitche. This appears to be differenced differently than George and Cyprian's from a common shield that just had the bend and swords/heart. This John could be George's brother, and I have to wonder if Appolina, wife of Andrew Blencow wasn't related, given the use ot the name by George. John is likely the John Southaick of Hardrigg who in 1569 held properties in Skelton, including a close called Skelton Wood Foot. (Another possible brother is the William Southayke, collector of customs and subsidies, 1550s and 1560s.) A Richard Southaike was admitted as Lord of Skelton Wood Foot in 1594.

Notes:
@ I find two conflicting linkages between Gilbert and Patrick. The first:
https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.31158012641998;view=1up;seq=366
says Patrick was son of Gilbert. The second:
https://www.british-history.ac.uk/n-westmorland-records/vol7/pp18-21
has a chart showing Gilbert with a son Patrick who dsp, succeeded by his nephew, another Patrick, the son of Thomas son of Gilbert (no explanation of the relationships is given).

& apparently the Gilbert who testified in 1367 in a proof of age that he was 54 and had a son Thomas who was made Canon in the priory of Carlisle more than 21 years before, and who in two years later in another poa claimed to be 50 and more

# There is also a 1442 ipm that reports a Patrick who died 3 March 1426, and names his heir as kinsman John, aged 29 & more, but this appears to refer to the same man, the details confused by the passage of time.

* Apparently the John aged 24 and more, who was kinsman and heir of Robert de Blencowe in 1442. In 1472, William Southake and Richard Blencowe were disputing land.

% Perhaps the Nicholas Suthwyk with wife Joan, daughter and executrix of John Wynkborne who sued Henry Wheler in the later 15th or early 16th century.




Generation-wise, William, father of George Southaicke could be a son of Nicholas (perhaps his ipm would illuminate this). Were this the case, and if Cyprian was a close kinsman (likely descendant) of George, as has been discussed, then this would allow Cyprian's male line to be traced prior to the Conquest, and he would at least have a distant royal like.

I think a note should be added here: the male line may be correct but as far as I can recall from an article by Michael Anne Guido in *Foundations*, the mother of Orme Ketelsson's son Gospatric was not Gunhild but a later wife.

have to wonder if Appolina, wife of Andrew Blencow wasn't related,

I think I misread this - it should be parsed 'to the use of Richard (son of Anthony) and of his wife Appolina' - based on the Blencowe pedigrees I am finding, she is wife of Richard, not of Anthony.

I can now amplify my onomastic speculation that there could be a relationship between Appolina, wife of Richard Blencowe, and George Southaike, who gave this name to a daughter. Richard's wife, according to Gary Roberts' 600 Immigrants, was Appolina Tolson. I have now found a case involving a Richard Tolson (her nephew, per online pedigrees) in which the other party objected to one of the jurors because he was related to Tolson 'through the Southaikes'. (With the caveat that if the relationship was via his mother, who based upon online pedigrees was a Blencowe, it would not be shared by his aunt Appolina.)

This is an error on my part - Richard was John's son, not necessarily Elizabeth's.


At some point 1532-1538, "Richard Southeke, son and heir of Nicholas Southeke", brought suit against Elizabeth Southeke, over land and a mill in Skelton, detention of deeds (C 1/709/25). I think this record may be in error, as it seems to match the timing of Richard, son of John (in turn, perhaps, son of Nicholas), who left a widow Elizabeth.

_The Heraldic Journal_ notes that the depiction of arms on the gravestone
of Cyprian Southack in the Granary Burial ground, Boston, Mass., was found
to match that of "George Sowdeak, grocer" in the "MS. Promptuarium Armorum
of Wm. Smith, Rouge-Dragon."

Returning to the start, with a source that should have come sooner, rather than later.

These arms are rather convoluted, with an arm emerging from a cloud and a heart between two inward-pointing spears, all above a fesse dancentee. This smacks of relatively recent ingenuity both in terms of the constellation of charges and their precise nature, rather than accumulation of differences. As such, I have been meaning to check a compilation of grants of arms from the Elizabethan-Stuart period published in The Genealogist about a century ago.

Well, now I have and sure enough, it is there as a recent grant, yet something is amiss. It is reported as being granted by W. Camden, Clar. to George Southaick. The problem is that Camden did not become Clarenceaux until almost 30 years after the arms first appeared in the visitation pedigree.

https://archive.org/stream/genealogist2619selb#page/n397/mode/1up

I don't know what to make of this. Normally a recent grant would point to later holders descending from that person if they weren't using it surreptitiously, yet here we have it recognized three decades before it was granted. Something is fishy (unless during one of the rounds of copying the manuscript roll, an entry that simply said it was granted by Clarenceaux - i.e. Robert Cooke, who also took the 1568 visitation - and assumed it mean the later Camden, Clarenceaux).
