Musgrave of Emley, 1600s
I am trying to find anything regardind Henry Musgrave who married Elizabeth Emmott (Emmit etc.). Henry was born about 1655, and he married Elizabeth on May 29, 1677 at Cowling (or Kildwick) in Yorkshire. He was a schoolmaster, and his family lived at Emley from the late 1670s through 1690 or so. This couple had a daughter, Elizabeth b. 1678, who married Richard Savile. Henry Musgrave also had a son, Edward, who was born in 1680. Edward married Ruth Lee in 1703 in Wakefield. Henry and Elizabeth also had a daughter named Sarah who was born in Emley in 1683.
Henry was not a common given name in the Musgrave family of Yorkshire. Does anyone have any more information on the ancestry of this Henry Musgrave? He may have come from Kildwick and vicinity, or the area around Emley (near Wakefield).
