Ottiwell Heginbotham

Ottiwell Hegginbottom or Heginbotham, was born at Tideswell, Derbyshire in 1862 the son of Joshua Hegginbottom and Sarah Ann Finney, and Baptised on the 26h June 1870 at Tideswell Church.

At the 1871Census - Ottiwell was aAged 8 years (Scholar) Farmers son at Tideswell on farm of 78 acres. - - 1871 UK Census Enumerator District: - The whole of the Township of Blackwell and the Hamlet of Wheston, including Mount Pleasant, Clayton House, Tidslow House, Highfield House, Wheston Village, Lawtons, and Topleyhead

At the 1881 Census, Ottiwell was aged 18 and living with his parents and siblings at Brownhill Farm, Grotton, Saddleworth. His father Joshua being recorded as a 'Farmer of 14 acres', with Ottiwell being an 'Assistant Farmer' (Farm Servant Indoors).

He married Sarah Beech in 1887 and went to live at Ashes Farm, Ashes Lane, Springhead, Saddleworth. Two children were born, Herbert in 1888 and Maud in 1890. In 1909 wife Sarah died and was interred in Grave No. J2-114 in Leesfield Cemetery on 26th April 1909. Ottiwell then re-married to Widow Elizabeth (Swindells) Smith of Castle Farm, Carrbrook in 1910, and went to live at Fold Farm, Carrbrook.

When my Mothers mother Clarissa died at the age 34, my mother , then aged 7, was sent to Mossley to live with her maiden Aunt Sylvia Broad, as her father was employed as a Dining Car Attendant on the railways and was always going away for extended periods.

At that time Aunt Sylvia Broad who was in Domestic Service, had been working in the employ of Robert Radcliffe Esq. of Oakfield House, Heyheads, Stayley, owner of Radcliffes Woollen Mills in Micklehurst. When Robert died in 18??, Aunt Sylvia took on the role of house keeper for Ottiwell Heginbotham who then lived at Fold Farm in Carrbrook.

From the accounts of my Mother, it would seem that some years earlier (1910), Ottiwell Heginbotham had married Bob Smith's widow Elizabeth from the Castle Farm, as the story goes, the Smith family had thought Ottiwell to be quite a wealthy and affluent farmer, the contrary being the case. When it was discovered that he didn't live up to the expectations of the Smith's they contrived way's to break up the marriage and get rid of Ottie, even going to the length's of excavating a deep hole in one of the fields and camouflaging it, the intent being that the horse & boxcart would overturn and seriously injure Ottie. However!, the plot was discovered and averted, not long after the couple divorced..

I assume that my Great Aunt Sylvia had moved into the Fold Farm as a live-in housekeeper, for sometime later they left the farm and for a short time lived in the cottage at Shireclough Farm, ( a short distance away) before moving once again into the under cottage at the Stamford Arms Inn at Heyheads.

They later bought and tenanted Earnshaw Farm in Staley Road. Mossley and lived and worked the farm for a number of years. Ottiwell replaceing the original Wooden Farm Building with Stone Built Structures with local stone from Carrbrook Quarry, Maude Heginbotha, his daughter, apparently made a trip to Canada to visit some relatived and never returned to England.

Ottiwell became ill and had to sell the Farm at Eranshaws, when they moved into house in Sydney Street for a short time before buying 'Athol Cott' at 65 Staley Road. Mossley. There Ottiwell Heginbotham died at the age of 78, leaving the house to my Great Aunt Sylvia, who herself lived out her life there and died in 1966 at the age of 95. She in turn left the property to my mother (her niece) Arechea Lawton, who moved into the house with husband Fred Lawton in 1967 and lived there for 31 years. Fred Lawton died in 1973 with Arechea reaching the ripe old age of 87 years before passing away in 1998. The house at 65 Staley Road passed jointly to Arechea's two sons John Trevor & Kenneth Lawton. Kenneth not having any interest in the property sold his half share to brother John Trevor who renovated the property and eventually sold the house to Adrian Howard in 2007.

I am a descendant of the Heginbothams of Marple, Great Hucklow, Saddleworth and Oldham. The earliest ancestor that I have traced to date is Joshua Heginbothome, Silk Twister of Marple (born 1669 died 1745) married Mary Hollingworth in 1704/5. His grandson, John moved to Great Hucklow and became landord of the Queen Anne (or Queens Head) Inn and John's grandson, Joshua moved from Great Hucklow to Brownhill Saddleworth and finally Lowside farm Oldham. The latter had a large family the older children made their homes in Saddleworth and the younger in Oldham, forming the Saddleworth and Oldham branches of the family. Amongst my ancestors are a liberal sprinkling of Joshuas and Calebs with the odd Ottiwell thrown in. The Ottiwell to whom you refer is a son of the aforementioned Joshua (who moved from Great Hucklow) and he was my great Grandfather, Joshua's elder brother.

Tuesday 31st May 2005: - Visit to Blackwell, Ashford & Taddington

Today was a lovely warm 'Spring' day with bright sunny periods, so my wife Irene and I decided to take a drive to Derbyshire and seek out my 'Hodkin' ancestors, visiting the places where they lived, farmed, worked and worshipped.

We drove down the main A6 road from Buxton toward Bakewell and took the B6049 country road to Millers Dale and on to Tideswell. Just a short distance along this road from it's junction with the A6 is a cross-roads, left going to Blackwell and right going to Priestcliffe. Blackwell is where George Hodkin and Hannah Redfern lived and raised around 14 children, so we were very suprised to discover that 'Blackwell' (which I had believed to be a village) was in fact little more than a small settlement of about three farmhouses and several cottages that one could hardly class as a 'Hamlet'.

Turning left from the B6049 into Blackwell Road is situated on the immediate right "Crossraods Farm House" , a picturesque old farm house with lovely tended gardens, whilst accross the raod on the left is the main gateway to some farm buildings, cattleyards, and farmyard, obviously from the eminating smell the farm now is mainly used as a 'Piggery', with the old farm buildings being in poor shape, with new asbestos/steel sheds replacing the dilapidated old stone farm buildings.

Just further up from the farmhouse on the right is a stone cottage which has obviously been renovated in recent times. A short way further on the right is a road leading up the hill and around to "Blackwell Hall", wjhich proved to be a more recent building, probably buit in the 19th Century and now with a 'Pebble-Dash' rendered facia, the windows and frames of wood (not mullioned stone) and the house more a reminder of a Hotel, which was offering 'Bed & Breakfast' accomodation and also Caravan parking.

Continuing up the road, we next came to a fairly substantial old farmhouse names "Cottage Farm" which was obviously very, very old, quite evident from the architecture and stonework. Opposite this farm on the other side of the roadway was a dilapidated old farm building which derilict, falling down and unuseable. A roadway directly opposite the farmyard, led up to a two storey building which we discovered was called "The Cottage" and also apparently doubled as a general merchandise store and shop, as children from a small caravan park in the farmers field, were going to the store for groceries. This roadway up past "The Cottage' apparently leads back onto the A6 road, just before Taddington, a distance of less than two miles.

From Blackwell we continued down the B6049 through Miller Dale and onto Tideswell, where we stayed for lunch and paid a visit to the 'Cathedral of the Peak District', the 12th Century Parish Church of St. John the Baptist. Although the name Tideswell crops-up from time to time in the family history, it would appear that no 'Hodkins' were associated with the town.

After lunch we headed off for the village of 'Beeley' situated on the Duke of Devonshires 'Chatsworth House Estate', where William Hodkin (1833-1899) farmed at Norman House Farm at Beeley. William Hodkin's Diary of 1864-1866 gives a detailed account of life in and around Beeley in those Victorian years.

We then drove down to 'Rowley' the village on the railway, which is features again and again in William Hodkin's diary. Obviously the main mode of transport in that era being by horse and cart and distance covered by railways. Rowley proved to be a once busy regional centre and arterial railway marshalling yard and goods depot for the surrounding towns and villages.

Leaving Rowley we went forward to Ashford-in-the-Water, passing through Bakewell town en-route. Ashford features consistently in the history of the Hodkin family, as it was here that George Hodkin Snr. married Hannah Oldfield, and whilst we found records of several 'Oldfield' graves and memorials from the 1700's in the graveyard. not one mention of the name 'Hodkin' could we find in the Church records. - We returned home to Mossley having spent a most lovely day-out in the Derbyshire countryside, but not much wiser or more informed about the 'Hodkin's' than before. - I can thoroughly reccommend any visitor to re-visit the journey we took through Derbyshire, it's a day out and well worth while.

We went to Blackwell because it's there. This Blackwell is not the one near Tibshelf nor the Blackwall, a hamlet in the parish of Kirk Ireton. This Blackwell is at the ed of a rainbow. Rainbows End the name of one of the properties here.
Many have been converted into holiday homes, the many can be counted on the right hand, the others on the left hand.

The others include the farms. Crossroads farm situated near crossroads, where else, has a black and white sheep dog, that although in the distance, gives us a long hard wary look. He stares until we have moved on. At the crossroads is the Post box, just inside the boundary of Blackwell. There are no shops, no newsagents, but hidden inside the ed of a barn is a phone. Just hung on the wall. You wouldn't know it was here unless you walked up the road. It is probably connected to the caravan and camp site at the top end of the hamlet.

The weather on October 25th 1878 would have ruined any camp site. The Taddington School log book states that there was a severe thunderstorm that afternoon, "the lightning was so vivid that the children became alarmed. Lessons had to be discontinued for an hour". I don't know if Peter WRIGHT a child of John WRIGHT would have remembered it. He was only four when it happened, but the teacher wrote his name down when he started Priestcliffe School. I can't imagine the road to Millers Dale would have been so busy as it was today, no lollipop crossing lady needed here back then.

2. HANNAH M.3 HODKIN (GEORGE2, GEORGE1) was born October 09, 1841 in Yorkshire, England. She married WILLIAM HAWXBY November 1870. He was born January 29, 1838 in Ripon, Yorkshire, England, and died 1922 in Nemaha, Nemaha County, Nebraska.

Notes for HANNAH M. HODKIN:

Hannah M. Hodkin, who was born in Yorkshire, England, October 9, 1841, daughter of George and Martha Hodkin. Before she was a year old her parents came to America, locating in New Hampshire, where her father worked as a mechanic, and Hannah at an early age was employed in the cotton mills at Lowell, Massachusetts, and other mills along the Merrimac River. Under such conditions she acquired but a meager schooling. She was naturally studious, and missed no opportunity to read good books and magazines. In 1858 her father came West and settled near the Village of Nemaha. During the Civil war he volunteered in Company D of a Nebraska regiment of cavalry, and was useful as a veterinary in the army. He was a hard worker and one of the pioneer fruit men in Southeastern Nebraska. His eighty-acre farm just west of the Hawrby quarter was a model of neatness. Hannah Hodkin became a leader in the pioneer life of that Nebraska community. She was a devoted member of the Episcopal Church. On a melodeon, which was carried in a spring wagon, she furnished music for the church at Brownville and later at Nemaha. She worked like a man on the farm, as her father had no sons, herding cattle with a horse, helping to gather corn, and earned money to purchase one of the first four organs owned in the county. She took lessons under the pioneer musician, James R. Dye, becoming proficient, and she herself gave lessons to most of the girls in the neighborhood. She used every penny to buy magazines and music and attended private school under Mrs. F. A. Holmes in Nemaha. When she died, in 1918, her diary was full of records of early privations. She sacrificed everything for her children, never had a hired girl in the house, had given birth to eight children, rearing four to manhood and womanhood, and never had a nurse. She got soft water from rain barrels, did her own sewing and washing, tended a big garden and raised chickens, cultivated flowers, taught music, and was a leader in the social, religious and musical life of the community. Her hospitality was unbounded and many a girl looked back upon the kindly advice and assistance given her by Aunt Hannah Hawxby, as she was affectionately known in the neighborhood. Of her children Frederick George was the oldest. The second, Mary, born in 1872, died at the age of three months. John W., born March 25, 1874, attended the country schools and Lincoln High School, and since the death of his father has owned the home farm. A daughter, Emma, born in 1876, died in infancy. The oldest living daughter, Elizabeth, was born in 1877, and the youngest, Jennie P., was born in 1878. Twin children, born in 1881, died in infancy. The daughter Elizabeth graduated from the Peru Normal College and the University of Nebraska, taught in country schools and several high schools, for ten years was instructor of English and dramatics in the high school at Everett, Washington, and is now the wife of Lieutenant Kenyon of San Francisco. The other daughter, Jennie, is the wife of John F. Whitwell, and they have four children and reside at Peru, Nebraska.

Notes for WILLIAM HAWXBY:
William Hawxby, was born at Ripon, Yorkshire, England, January 29, 1838. He served an apprenticeship of four years as a butcher under his father, and also worked on a large farm under an older brother. He became a skilled buyer of live stock and had no superior as a judge of the quality of beef animals and draft horses. He was well educated, attending a high school at Melmerby and later a Latin school. In 1856, at the age of twenty-three, he came to America on a sailing vessel, spending five weeks on the voyage. For two years he worked on a farm near Joliet, Illinois, at $13 a month, and in 1858 acquired eighty acres of land in Hardin County, Iowa. In 1860 he removed to Nemaha County, Nebraska. Among the early settlers, he butchered and delivered fresh meat, and in 1862, in order to rid his system of malaria, went to the mountains, making two trips as a freighter of provisions from Brownville to Denver. In 1867 he went back to visit his mother. In Nebraska he broke up and improved three farms, one in Richardson County and two in Nemeha County. After his marriage in 1870 he immediately built a house on what has since been known as the Hawxby Homestead, the southwest quarter of section 35, township 5, range 15, in Nemaha Precinct. He was a lover of blooded stock, promoted the breeding of pure bred Shorthorn cattle and Percheron borses, and planted one of the first orchards in Nemaha Precinct. He was active in the Farmers Alliance and the Grange movement. William Hawxby lived to be eighty-nine years, nine months old, passing away in 1922. He was one of the very oldest Masons in the county when he died, was active in the support of the Episcopal Church at Nemaha, and served on the local school board many years. He was also treasurer of the school district. He was a great reader, had a wonderful memory, and sacrificed everything that his children might attend normal school and college. He was first a Republican, voting for John C. Fremont for President in 1856. Later he became a Populist and finally a Democrat.
On Thanksgiving Day, 1870, he married Hannah M. Hodkin, who was born in Yorkshire, England, October 9, 1841, daughter of George and Martha Hodkin.

Nebraska the Land and the People: Volume 3 page 501
[p.501] Frederick G. Hawxby,Nemaha County attorney, is an able man in his profession, a public leader, probably one of the most influential men in the Democratic party of Nebraska. He is a native of the state, and his parents were pioneers of Nemaha County. A record even briefly told of their experiences and activities tells a great deal about the pioneer life of this section of the Middle West.

Nebraska the Land and the People: Volume 3 page 502
Frederick George Hawxby was born at the homestead about two and a half miles northwest of Nemaha, December 10, 1871. He attended the Maple Grove School, a quarter of a mile north of the home, and rode horse-back to school at Nemaha three winters, after the fall plowing and seeding was done. He and his brother alternated in attending school, [p.502] each one working half a day in the fields and attending school the rest of the day. Their father insisted that the boys bring their books home, and he helped them with their lessons at night. During 1890-91 Mr. Hawxby attended the Western Normal College at Shenandoah, Iowa, his board, room rent, tuition and book rent for the forty-eight weeks costing him $153.50. In 1891-92 he taught a nine-months term in the Belfry school, five miles from home, riding horseback to and from the school so as to board at home. In 1893 he attended Lincoln Normal College under J. F. Sailor, securing a diploma as Bachelor of Pedagogy. He was superintendent of the public schools at Britton, South Dakota, for two years, 1894-95, being paid what he considered a large salary, $800 for a year of ten months. In 1895 he entered the University of Nebraska, graduated with the B. A. degree in June, 1899, and took his law degree in 1901. During the six years he was in the university he supported himself, carrying a daily newspaper on a route, and for three years was cashier of a boarding club. During his senior year in law school he was elected to the Twenty-seventh Legislature from Nemaha County and spoke all over the county during the presidential campaign of 1900, at a time when the county was strongly Republican. He was active in the Union Literary Society and the Union Boys Debating Club, and represented Nebraska on three successive interstate debates, with Missouri in 1898, Kansas in 1899, and Colorado in 1900. He was also on the staff of writers for the Hesperian College publication, and was engaged in teachers institute work one season.

Mr. Hawxby after being admitted to the bar formed a law partnership with George W. Cornell in 1901, and from 1903 was associated with Judge John S. Stull at Auburn until the death of Judge Stull in 1910. Later he had a partnership with W. C. Parriott, and in 1920 became a partner of Judge H. A. Lambert. Judge Lambert died in 1924. He is now associated with R. F. Neal. On the death of Judge Stull in 1910 he became attorney for his valuable estate, and since that time has been agent and superintendent of the Stull farms. Judge Stull bequeathed to him his extensive library, and that library, with his own and the library of the late Judge Lambert and the Neal library, gives him access to one of the finest law libraries in this part of the state.

Judge Hawxby is one of the ablest criminal lawyers in Nebraska. While county attorney he helped prosecute several notable murder cases, and has also appeared as attorney for the defense in trials that have attracted more than local attention. He made tremendously effective pleas before the jury in the defense of Lucy M. Neal, charged with the murder of B. T. Neal, and in the defense of Sylvia Waters, charged with shooting her former husband.

When he reached his majority he became affiliated with the Populist party and was connected with the first Farmers Alliance organized in his home district, about 1888. After his term in the Lower House of the Legislature he served two terms as county attorney, 1910-14, and as county judge in 1916-20. In 1917 he was tendered appointment as deputy attorney general under Gen. Willis E. Reed. Few men gave more freely of their time in behalf of all war activities. He was secretary of the Council of Defense of the county and chairman of the Four-Minute Men. As a speaker on political and general subjects his services have been much in demand at memorial exercises, Fourth of July celebrations, harvest home picnics and other gatherings. He has spoken on different occasions in Nemaha County for a quarter of a century.

Judge Hawxby at the age of fourteen was confirmed in the Episcopal Church at Nemaha, but since his marriage has been a member of the Christian Church at Auburn, and has served as a deacon of the church. He has been a contributor to Cotner College. He has been active in promoting the public library at Auburn, in the Chamber of Commerce, served six years as a member of the Auburn Board of Education, being president of the board two years. He has been a member of the Masonic fraternity since 1898. Judge Hawxby is a Nemaha County, and is a member of the Nemember of the State Historical Society, Nebraska State University Alumni Association of braska and American Bar Associations.

page 503
He married at Talmage, Nebraska, November 17, 1909, Miss Pearl Norton. They were married by Elder R. Harris, minister of the Christian Church and former lieutenant governor. They were married in the home of Squire William H. Norton, her grandfather, who was a Civil war veteran and G. A. R. man at Talmage. Mrs. Hawxby is the oldest daughter of Hugh and Myra (Claypool) Norton. Her father for many years was Missouri Pacific agent at Brock, later at Plattsmouth, now at Panama, Nebraska, and is chairman of the village board and president of the school board at Panama, and a justice of the peace. Mrs. Hawxby graduated with honors from the high school at Brock, and was taking a course in the Peru State Normal when her stepmother died, and she gave up college work to keep house for her father, and became foster-mother to her half-sister, Mildred. Her only brother, James Norton, served as a corporal with the Rainbow Division in France. Judge and Mrs. Hawxby have two daughters. Margaret Louise, born at Auburn February 20, 1911, is one of the brilliant scholars in the Auburn High School, and besides the honors of scholarship has been a member of the high school debating team and member of the annual staff, and excels in mathematics, dramatic work, debating and athletics. She is also a pianist and a leader in Christion Endeavor and Sunday School work. The second daughter, Ruth Lenore, born at Auburn August 7, 1913, is also in high school, has shown originality in composition work in English, is [p.503] a vocalist and violinist, and active in Girls Reserve and Camp Fire work, Christian Endeavor, and is a member of the young people's choir in the Christian Church.

ii. RUTH LENORE HAWXBY, b. August 07, 1913, Auburn; m. NORMAN KNOUSE.

After his birth, they settled in Temple, NH on a farm with what would apprear to be joint ownership of a property with George Derbyshire, Mary's father.

"I found the following information on George Hodkin, Jr (George and Hannah's 5th son):
George Hodkin, farm, P.O. Nemaha City. Mr. Hodkin was born in 1820 in Derbyshire, England.; his father died in England, and his mother married again, George Derbyshire.

Born: 7th. September 1849 at New Delph, Saddleworth. Hannah Maria daughter of George Hodkin (Labourer) & Martha Hodkin (formerly Hambelton) Registered on 11th September 1849 by Joshua Wrigley. Registrar.

Hannah Maria Hodkin, was born in Uppermill, Saddleworth, Yorkshire, England, on September 7th 1849 and Baptised at St. Chad's Saddleworth Church, Uppermill. On October 9th 1849, daughter of George and Martha (Hambleton) Hodkin. - Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1849 - HODKIN Hannah Maria - Born: 7th September 1849 @ Uppermill District, Saddleworth - Oldham - Mother's Maiden Name: HAMBELTON - RefNo: Oldham BMD - 1849-UPP/7/112

Before she was a year old her parents came to America, locating in New Hampshire, where her father worked as a mechanic, and Hannah at an early age was employed in the cotton mills at Lowell, Massachusetts, and other mills along the Merrimac River. Under such conditions she acquired but a meager schooling. She was naturally studious, and missed no opportunity to read good books and magazines. In 1858 her father came West and settled near the Village of Nemaha.

During the Civil war he volunteered in Company D of a Nebraska regiment of cavalry, and was useful as a veterinary in the army. He was a hard worker and one of the pioneer fruit men in Southeastern Nebraska. His eighty-acre farm just west of the Hawrby quarter was a model of neatness. Hannah Hodkin became a leader in the pioneer life of that Nebraska community. She was a devoted member of the Episcopal Church. On a melodeon, which was carried in a spring wagon, she furnished music for the church at Brownville and later at Nemaha. She worked like a man on the farm, as her father had no sons, herding cattle with a horse, helping to gather corn, and earned money to purchase one of the first four organs owned in the county. She took lessons under the pioneer musician, James R. Dye, becoming proficient, and she herself gave lessons to most of the girls in the neighborhood. She used every penny to buy magazines and music and attended private school under Mrs. F. A. Holmes in Nemaha. When she died, in 1918, her diary was full of records of early privations. She sacrificed everything for her children, never had a hired girl in the house, had given birth to eight children, rearing four to manhood and womanhood, and never had a nurse. She got soft water from rain barrels, did her own sewing and washing, tended a big garden and raised chickens, cultivated flowers, taught music, and was a leader in the social, religious and musical life of the community. Her hospitality was unbounded and many a girl looked back upon the kindly advice and assistance given her by Aunt Hannah Hawxby, as she was affectionately known in the neighborhood. Of her children Frederick George was the oldest. The second, Mary, born in 1872, died at the age of three months. John W., born March 25, 1874, attended the country schools and Lincoln High School, and since the death of his father has owned the home farm. A daughter, Emma, born in 1876, died in infancy. The oldest living daughter, Elizabeth, was born in 1877, and the youngest, Jennie P., was born in 1878. Twin children, born in 1881, died in infancy. Their daughter Elizabeth graduated from the Peru Normal College and the University of Nebraska, taught in country schools and several high schools, for ten years was instructor of English and dramatics in the high school at Everett, Washington, and is now the wife of Lieutenant Kenyon of San Francisco. The other daughter, Jennie, is the wife of John F. Whitwell, and they have four children and reside at Peru, Nebraska.
