Sir Francis Foljambe, 1st Baronet (died 1640) was Member of Parliament for Pontefract in 1626 and High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1633.〔( George Edward Cokayne ''Complete Baronetage Volume 1'' 1900 )〕 ==Biography== Foljambe came from a well established Derbyshire family whose residence was at Walton Hall, Chesterfield in Derbyshire. His father was Francis Foljambe, Esq. of Aldwarke. The family were Lords of the Manor of Tideswell from the fourteenth century, and also had estates at Bakewell and Darley Dale. One of his earliest ancestors was Godfrey de Foljambe.〔Mosley, ed. ''Burke's Peerage'' 107th Edition Delaware 2003 Vol. 2 p. 2368〕 Sir Francis was created a baronet on 24 July 1622 by James I. He was known for reducing the family estates by his over-indulgence and extravagance. The family chronicler Dr Nathaniel Johnston said that he "was a person of great generousness, but of so profuse a temper, and hospitality to excess, that what by reason of the great jointure of the three... ladies, and the contentions about the estate and the less regarding of his interest by reason of his having no issue male, he sold Walton and most of his Derbyshire lands, and much of his Yorkshire lands, and entangled others, that reduced that estate which was so great... to £1000 per annum." 〔(rotherhamweb )〕 He became High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1633, but he had to sell the family residence in the same year. He died at Bath on 17 December 1640. What was left of his estates was passed on to Peter Foljambe of Steveton (1599-1669), a distant cousin.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sir Francis Foljambe, 1st Baronet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
