The family of Gifford is of GIFFORD high antiquity and was seated at Honfleur, Normandy, three centuries before the conquest of England by Duke William, the Conqueror. At the battle of Hastings in 1066 "Sire Rumdolph de Gif- forde" was one of the conqueror's standard bearers, and was rewarded by him with estates in Somersetshire and Cheshire, which were
87
PENNSYLVANIA
created into a barony from which his descend- ants had summons to parliament. In the reign of King Henry II., Sir Peter Gifford married Alice, daughter and heiress of Sir Grey de Corpuchim, with whom he had the lordship of Chillington, in Cheshire, which was the seat of the Dukes of Buckingham of this family. Sir Stephen Gifford was one of the barons accompanying Richard Coeur de Lion to the Holy Land, and was killed at the siege of Jerusalem; his son, Sir Stephen, was also wounded there. The family enjoyed great distinction at the English court for several centuries, and at one time five peerages existed in the family name. Baron George Gifford was made Earl of Buckingham by King Henry V., but joining the House of York against that of Lancaster, during the "War of the Roses," and being one of the prime favorites of King Edward V., he was created Duke of Bucking- ham, and married the Princess Maude Van Plantagenet, cousin of the King. His son, George Gifford, Duke of Buckingham, was one of the favorites of the Duke of Gloucester, afterward King Richard III., and being de- tected by that tyrant in the act of correspond- ing with the Earl of Richmond, afterward King Henry VII., he was attainted of high treason and beheaded by Richard's orders. The Duke left several small children, but as they had been deprived of their lands and titles, the king, Henry VII., found it more convenient not to restore them, and Humphrey Stafford, a powerful noble, having married the oldest daughter of Henry, was created by him Duke of Buckingham. The Staffords followed the fate of their maternal ancestor ; the grand- son of Humphrey was beheaded, and his fam- ily deprived of their vast estates. Of the sons of the last George Gifford, Duke of Bucking- ham. George continued the first line, and con- tinually solicited the crown and parliament for his restoration, but on account of the power- ful opposition of his brother-in-law, Stafford, was always defeated. The Giffords in the reign of King Henry VIII., and queens, Mary and Elizabeth, put their claims before the Eng- lish parliament, never, however, successfully. In the reign of James I., Sir Ambrose Gifford claimed before the house of peers to be the Duke of Buckingham, and in the second year after the reign of Charles I. his claims were disallowed on account of his politics. Walter Gifford, the son of Sir Ambrose, emigrated from England to Massachusetts Bay Colony in
1630, and was the progenitor of the American branch of this ancient family. Noted descend- ants are: The celebrated critic, Sir John Gif- ford; and Lord Gifford, master of the rolls, who prosecuted, while attorney-general of England, the wife of George IV., Queen Caro- line, upon a charge of high crimes and misde- meanors. Coat-of-arms: Gules, three lions passant, argent ; crest, an arm couped above the elbow, vested or charged with two bars wavy, azure, cuffed white, holding in the hand a stag's head, cabossed, gules. Motto: "Noth- ing without the Divinity."
(II) Walter, son of Sir Ambrose Gifford, emigrated from England to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630, and was the progenitor of the branch of the Gifford family in America herein traced. While there are many who will controvert the statement above, there are many others who accept the fact that Walter Gifford was the son of Sir Ambrose, and the father of William. Walter Gifford married and had a son William, of whom further.
(III) William, son of Walter Gifford, was, according to Huntington's History of Stam- ford, Connecticut, before the court of that settlement in 1647. The sentence of the court against him was, that he be whipped at the court's discretion and banished. The supposi- tion is that this William Gifford is the same William Gifford we find in Sandwich, Massa- chusetts, and a member of the grand inquest at Plymouth in 1650. He continued to reside in Sandwich until his death, with the exception of five years, between 1665 and 1670, when he, with George Allen and the sons of Peter Gaunt. all of Sandwich, together with others, were the first proprietors and settlers of Mon- mouth, New Jersey, having purchased the land from the Indians ; and to them the Monmouth patent was granted, April 8, 1665. They were adherents of the Quaker faith, both in Massa- chusetts and New Jersey. William Gifford owned land in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. His Massachusetts possessions consisted of lands in Sandwich. Falmouth and Dartmouth. The facsimile of the deed exists, of a forty-acre parcel, purchased of a Suckanessett (Falmouth) Indian named, Job Attukkoo, July 24, 1673. He gave by will to his sons, Jonathan and James, lands in Fal- mouth, Massachusetts. He also deeded to his sons, Robert and Christopher, lands in Dart- mouth, Massachusetts, both of whom erected homesteads upon their estates. Robert con-

tinued to live in Dartmouth, while Christopher moved later to Little Compton, Rhode Island. Both have many descendants now living in southern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
