The Levant Trade - Commoner families and aristocracy: the cases of London's Lords mayor

In 1546, Anthony Jenkinson (died 1611), mariner/merchant, sea captain, traveller, went to sea and to the Levant for commercial training. He visited most countries of the Mediterranean; Algiers, Tunis, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey and "Western Asia", Sicily, Crete and Cyprus. In 1553 at Aleppo he got a licence to trade from Suliman the Great. In 1555 he was admitted to membership of the Merchants' Company; in 1557 he was appointed by the Muscovy Company as captain-general of their fleet sailing to Russia, and he would be a diplomat to an indecisive Czar. Jenkinson went to Bokhara, to the Caspian Sea area, and was at Moscow by 20 August, 1563. One of his companions was Edward Clarke, who carried Jenkinson's letters home. Then from London came a second expedition to Russia of May 1564, with Thomas Alcock. On 30 May, 1565 Jenkinson addressed a memorial to Queen Elizabeth about a north-east passage to Cathay, but nothing came of such ideas.
Active by 1560 were the "great pioneers" of the Russia Co. and the Morocco Co., William Bond and Francis Bowyer, also engaged in Levant trade. Brenner, Merchants and Revolution, p. 73.

By 1580, some great Merchant Adventurers who went into the Levant Company were Richard Saltonstall, Middletons, Batemans, Ferrars, Henry Andrews. By about 1580, the Muscovy Company was led by Sir George Barne. Rowland Heywood tried for a north-east passage, sending a voyage led by Arthur Pet and Charles Jackman. By 1580, English merchants were backing a voyage into the Arctic (Kara Sea), to find any near-Russia north-east passage to the East, perhaps by a river near China?
Giles Milton, Nathaniel's Nutmeg. Penguin Books, 1999/2000.

By 1581, Elizabeth I had granted charters to companies trading to Spain and Portugal, the Eastland Co. to the Baltic, the Levant Co. to Turkey, while Raleigh began planning a company for Virginia which ended in disaster; and at century's end the East India Company was chartered.
Neville Williams, Elizabeth I: Queen of England. London, Sphere, 1971., p. 298.

Now, claims are made here about certain implications of Ann Boleyn's forebears being associated with the Lord Mayoralty of London - and some ideas here may seem unexpected. There are however, many genealogies relevant to the present argument... It is not generally thought that the English aristocracy married to the mercantile class, but we can find from the cases of up to 31 Lords Mayor of London, the following:

(1) Adam Francis, Lord Mayor of 1339-1340, whose daughter Maud married John Montagu third Earl Salisbury, who was beheaded by a mob.
GEC, Peerage, Exeter, p. 210; Salisbury, p. 393; Willoughby, p. 665. There are also links here to lords Zouche and Fitzalan.

(2) The descendancy of Thomas Mirfyn of the fifteenth century can give 415 records from a database. It is helpful to see his descendants in line with those of Lord Mayor Geoffrey Boleyn. Mirfyn provides links to many names including dukes 4-7 Manchester, to many promoters of colonisation, a splendid crop of the Cromwell family (Oliver's family) and other Cromwellians, also the financier name, Palavicino.

See Lawrence Stone, An Elizabethan: Sir Horatio Palavicino. Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1956., p. 260.

(3) Lord Mayor Robert Drope with his second wife, Joan Unknown, who married Edward Grey, third Baron Grey, who died in 1492.
GEC, Peerage, Lisle, pp. 59ff.

(4) Lord Mayor Thomas Legge married Elizabeth Beauchamp. This Elizabeth Beauchamp was daughter of Katherine Mortimer (first daughter of Roger Mortimer, first Earl March, executed 1330) and Thomas Beauchamp, third Earl Warwick. There are links here also to Miles Bermingham, Lord Bermingham, and the later William Legge, first Earl Dartmouth. This Elizabeth Beauchamp also married Thomas De Ufford (died 1368, son of Robert De Ufford [1298-1369], first Earl Suffolk).
GEC, Peerage, Abergavenny, p. 28; Ufford, p. 152.

(5) Lord Mayor of 1525, John Alleyn, whose illegitimate son Christopher married Audrey Paget, daughter of William, first Baron Paget.
Burke's Extinct Baronetcies, p. 3; GEC, Peerage, Paget, pp. 276-280.

(6) John Tate, whose descent provides 46 database descent records.
See Burke's Peerage and Baronetage for Duncombe-Pauncefote; Burke's Landed Gentry for Flower.

(7) William Capel, circa 1503, with a descent providing at least 576 records following daughters linked to eighth Lord Zouche, and to Paulet as second Marquis Winchester.

(8) Circa 1517, Lord Mayor William Brown whose widow, Alice, daughter of Lord Mayor Henry Keble, married as third wife of William Blount (1478-1534), fourth Baron Mountjoy and became mother of Charles, fifth Baron.
GEC, Peerage, Mountjoy, p. 341.

(9) Lord Mayor circa 1520 John Brydges, whose daughter Winifred married Treasurer Richard Sackville (d. 1566).
GEC, Peerage, Dacre, p. 11, Dorset, p. 422; Winchester, p. 764.

(10) Lord Mayor of 1537, Richard Gresham, father of the founder in 1566 of the Royal Exchange, Sir Thomas Gresham (1519-1579).
Burke's Extinct Baronetcies for Gresham, p. 227. Brenner, Merchants and Revolution, p. 55. R. G. Lang, �Social Origins and Social Aspirations of Jacobean London Merchants�, Economic History Review, 2, V, 27, 1974., pp. 28-47. Burke's Peerage and Baronetage for Bacon, regarding ancestors of the Lords Townshend.

The Lord Mayor of 1537, Sir Richard Gresham (died 1548), was brother of Lord Mayor John Gresham.

(11) Circa 1555: Lord Mayor Sir William Gerard/Garrard. This man produced a son John also a London Lord Mayor, and a daughter Anne who married Lord Mayor George Barne, and so arose a part-dynasty in commercial circles, more than any influence on aristocracy directly.

Josef Hamel, England and Russia; comprising The Voyages of John Tradescant The Elder, Sir Hugh Willoughby, Richard Chancellor, Nelson and others, to the White Sea. London, Richard Bentley, 1854. (Translated by John Studdy Leigh)., p. 26. Burke's Extinct Baronetcies for Garrard of Lamer, p. 214. R. G. Lang, �Jacobean London Merchants�, as above. Hasler, The House of Commons, 1558-1603, Vol. 3, pp. 294-295. GEC, Peerage, Berkshire, p. 151. In Thomas S. Willan, Studies in Elizabethan Foreign Trade. Manchester University Press, 1959., pp. 129 and previous, Garrard here seems to be involved in trade to Morrocco, exporting perhaps cloth and arms, importing sugar.

(12) For Thomas Curteis, Lord Mayor circa 1557, there appear to be nil linkages. The name Curteis does appear however in connection with George Sackville-Fox, twelfth Lord Conyers.
GEC, Peerage, Powis, p. 655.

(13) For Thomas Leigh, Lord Mayor in 1558, few linkages are found. His daughter Winifred married Lord Mayor Sir George Bond.
R. G. Lang, �Jacobean London Merchants�. Burke's Extinct Baronetcies for Bond of Peckham and for Leigh of Stoneleigh. GEC, Peerage, Leigh, p. 566 for first Baron Leigh; Willoughby, p. 713.

(14) Lord Mayor Sir John Rivers, whose name appears in the lines for Garrard above.

(15) Lord Mayor George Barne has already been discussed. (With links to Secretary of State Sir Francis Walsingham, treated elsewhere.)

(16) For John White, Lord Mayor circa 1563, few linkages are found.
R. G. Lang, �Jacobean London Merchants�. Burke's Peerage and Baronetage for Bellyse Baker of Highfields.

(17) Lord Mayor William Holles, provides a descent with 364 records, with his son Sir William Holles marrying Anne Denzell; with their son Denzell Holles marrying Eleanor, a daughter of Edmund Sheffield, first Baron Sheffield. Here were later provided links with John Townshend second Viscount Sydney, the first and second marquises Rockingham and third Baron Rockingham, fifth Earl Dartmouth, second Earl Strafford, third Marquis Bath and fifth Earl Bath, third Duke Portland; the nineteenth century bankers Grenfell, fifth Earl Dartmouth; and the beheaded Thomas Wentworth, first Earl Strafford, who died in 1641.
Hasler, History of Parliament, Vol. 2, p. 330. GEC, Peerage, Clare, p. 247.

(18) Lord Mayor John Garrard is noted in R. G. Lang, �Jacobean London Merchants�, and GEC, Peerage, Berkshire, p. 151.

His lineage did not produce any marriages to aristocracy, but amongst the descendants of the progenitor of the family of Lord Mayor John Garrard (London grocer, John Garrard), we find a remarkable number of commercial names and descendants of other families noted in this book: London Lord Mayor Sir William Garrard (c.1555;d.1571); London Lord Mayor and Spanish Co. merchant Sir George Barne (c.1587;d.2 Jan 1593); Anne Barne, (d. 1564) the first wife of Sir Francis Walsingham (b.1532;m.1562;d.6 Apr 1590); and Anne Barne's first husband Alexander Carleill and his son, mariner Christopher Carleill; plus Anne Carleill who married merchant Sir Christopher Hoddeson; Elizabeth Barne who married London Lord Mayor Sir John Rivers (b.1574); Frances Bowyer who married Sir Matthew Carew, the poet Thomas Carew; Lord mayor Sir John Garrard himself, (c.1592;d.7 May 1625), father of London Lord Mayor, Sir Samuel Garrard; Sir John Garrard (d.1637) and later baronets of his line; MP Montague Drake; MP William Drake (b.1723;d.8 Aug 1796); MP Charles Garrard Drake (d.Jul 1817).

(19) Lord Mayor Rowland Hayward had links to Mirfyn, and his second wife was Catherine a daughter of customs farmer Sir Thomas "Customer" Smythe (d. 1591 of whom more later - the Smythes were notable figures in the early East India Company). Hayward provides links to Barons Knyvett and to Townshend MPs.
Brenner, Merchants and Revolution, p. 63. Hasler, History of Parliament, Vol. 2, p. 283; Vol. 3, pp. 516-517. GEC, Peerage, Strangford, p. 358. Sir William Winter was friends with London merchant figure John "Customer" Smythe who is treated at more length in a later chapter.

(20) Lord Mayor William Bowyer provides no records of interest.
He is noted in Hasler, History of Parliament, Vol. 3, p. 368.

(21) Lord Mayor William Browne, providing 99 records of descent.
He can be noted in Burke's Extinct Baronetcies for Tyrrell of Springfield, and in GEC, Peerage, Mordaunt, p. 196; Say and Sele, p. 484.) With links including to: fifth and sixth Viscounts Say and Sele, twentieth Baron Clinton, fourth Earl Lincoln, Robert Walpole as second Earl Orford and second Baron Rolle; Ralph Warren with 408 records, with daughter Joan married to Sir Henry Cromwell and following arose links to eleventh Earl Montrose, ninth Baron Brooke, third Earl Plymouth, ninth Earl Wemyss, first Earl Buckinghamshire and fourth Earl Buckinghamshire; and dukes 5-7 Manchester and via Cromwells to the financiers Palavicino.

(22) Lord Mayor John Spencer with 186 records due to his daughter Elizabeth, who married to William Compton the first Earl and second Baron Compton. (Providing later links to second Baron Amherst, first Earl Compton, John Townshend fourth marquis and fourth Duke Dorset; Barons 1 and 2 Chesham, twelfth Earl Devonshire; and Coke as second Earl Leicester.)

(23) The line of Lord Mayor for 1589-1590, Stephen Soame, seems to have had no aristocratic linkages, although family members later linked with many baronets.
R. G. Lang, �Jacobean London Merchants�. Brenner, Merchants and Revolution, p. 73. Burke's Extinct Baronetcies for Soame. Lord Mayor Peter Soame is seen in Burke's Extinct Baronetcies for Barnardiston, p. 40.

(24) Lord Mayor of 1590, Sir John Hart, on whom there is little information, was a Levant Company merchant and moneylender, often governor of the Muscovy Company. He had a daughter Jane who married Sir George Bolles.
Burke's Extinct Baronetcies, Bolles, p. 69.

There are then, many precedents for discussing linkages between commercial families and aristocracy. Where the family of Boleyn becomes conspicuous, along with the "Bible-study group" of Katherine Parr, is with the rise of a Puritan social movement, which included increasing numbers of affluent merchant families. This was a new trend in English life, and it happened to connect with opportunities provided by the existing slave trades in the New World conducted by the Portuguese and Spanish... as follows... as can be seen from a larger fall of descendants than given above, as can pour from a genealogical database... Such descendancy lists for Lords Mayor of London, and/or London alderman, can often provide evidence of "mini commercial dynasties" active in London life.
