    • Clothier in London and packman.

      Thomas Somerscales married Marjorie Maskew at Clapham on the 17th April 1604 and their son William was baptised on 21st April 1605, the couple also had Abigail (date not known). Marjorie died before 1623 when Jane was named as his wife, but after 1616 when they disposed of property to Henry Somerscales the son of Robert feet of fines 2 messuages and lands in Settle). Thomas and Jane had a son Thomas birth date unknown.

      Received a house and lands in Clapham from his grandfather Thomas Walker which he sold to his father George.

      George, his father, and his mother Janet gave all their lands in Settle in trust to Robert and Richard Somerscales, Robert Creake and Thomas Nesfield for their lives and then it was to pass to this Thomas. However, Henry Heber and Robert Somerscales (either Robert senior before he died in 1597 or, more likely his son Robert) held on to the deeds and took possession of the property. [suit to discover title, chancery proceedings James 1st S7 - 61 dated 1617]

      Henry Heber married Robert Somerscales' widow Margaret in 1598.

      On the 17th February 1607 Thomas of Settle but then living in London described himself as a chapman aged 34 (born 1573ish), he was a deponent in a case [TNA C24/342 part 1] saying that his brother William (who worked for him) in about 1601 lent Henry Lewis £30 for the debts of Thomas Banks.

      A bill of 6th February 1609 [TNA C2/James 1/B 21 72] presented by Stephen Bateman of Bradgate in Westmoreland claims that he and Thomas Somerscales (clothier) of London became endebted to Henry Berk of Heslington, Westmoreland a clothier for £160 which Thomas defaulted on. Also, Thomas had owed Stephen £160 for goods for about 10 years and also that Thomas had bought his house in Kendal in 1605 for £50 which he refused to pay.

      Furthermore, Thomas and Henry Atkinson of Kirkby Lonsdale carried goods to Bateman's clients in London and got money and wares from these clients due to Bateman. The clients included Henry Parkhurst grocer, Henry Stead grocer, Thomas Robinson brasier, Thomas Dockwray, Rowland Wilson vintner and .... Caldwell a haberdahser.

      On the 10th March 1609 Sir Hugh Bethell, knt sherrif of Yorkshire issued an order to the bailifs to arrest George Wallock of Kirkby in Malhamdale, Henry Wallock late of Newhouse and Henry Wallock of Knowlesbank who were outlawed at the suit of Thomas Somerscales of Settle (chapman) on a plea of debt. They were to be taken before the justices at Westminster with papers relating to the debt which had come before the arbitrators John Lambert of Carlton and others. [YAS MD335/1/10/2/3]

      TNA C22/713/46 depositions taken at Giggleswick 24th April 1623 in a complaint made by Thomas, Jane his wife and John Catterall an infant against John Catterall, Samuel Lambert and others about an annuity. Probably relating to TNA C2/Chas 1/S 25/45 below.

      14th or 17th November 1633 Thomas of New Hall in Rathmell (parish of Giggleswick) complained that after long and tedious suits he bacame possessed of the manors and lordship of Rathmell, New Hall and Hollinghall with the desmesne land belonging to it and Hall Ing in the right of John Caterall his majesty's ward. (Judith the wife of John Catterall of New Hall was buried on the 22nd August 1623 and John was buried on the 16th March 1624, there was a problem in that area of Giggleswick in these years judging by the large number of burials).

      Thomas says he has owned the lands since around 1628. William Bank of Green in Rathmell husbandman and his brother-in-law Henry Lawson of Giggleswick a clerk and writer suggested that Lawson should prepare a lease in which Thomas leased to Bank the property known as Holling Hall and its lands for one year only at £20 an acre. Thomas was busy executing a commission for his ward John Catterall and asked for time to read it and when he did sign and seal it Bank took immediate possession. Lawson then took the lease and some other deeds concerning his ward to Bank and Richard Carr of Rathmell their confederate. Bank has taken possession for two years and has paid nothing.

      In another instance while Thomas was in London "nine score miles from Giggleswick" Henry Lawson took a bay horse of his from the house of Henry Walker worth £3 and used the horse to collect coal from the pit, hurt the horse and killed it.

      Bank and Lawson also treated his blind daughter Abigail most cruelly (see Abigail) when Thomas was "very sick" in 1633.

      In all Thomas was "damnified" by Banks, Lawson and Carr to the tune of £300 which, despite his polite requests, they refused to pay.
