Early originsedit
The family of Northcote (originally de Northcote) originated at the Domesday Book manor of Northcote in the parish of East Down in North Devon. The Heraldic Visitations of Devon lists the founder of the family as Galfridus de Northcote, Miles ("knight"), living in 1103.[2] In the 16th century the family made its fortune as cloth merchants at Crediton.[3]
Marriage and childrenedit
In 1732[4] Northcote married Bridget Maria Stafford, only daughter and sole heiress of the wealthy Hugh Stafford of Pynes.[5] After his marriage Northcote abandoned the family seat of Hayne, which sank to the status of a farmhouse, and moved to the Stafford seat of Pynes House, inherited by his wife, where his descendants remained until the 1990s.[6] Amongst the lands he inherited from his wife was the manor of Iddesleigh[7] in Devon, from which in 1885 the statesman Sir Stafford Northcote, 8th Baronet took his title. Bridget Maria Stafford survived her husband and in 1754 remarried to Richard Madan of Westminster.[8], a brother of Colonel Martin Madan. By his wife Northcote had children as follows:
Sir Stafford Northcote, 6th Baronet (1736–1770), eldest son and heir.
Henry Northcote (born 1738), second son, who married twice, firstly to Philipa Searle, daughter of Edward Searle of Plympton, secondly to a member of the Tooke family.[9]
Rev. Hugh Northcote (1740–1787), third son, Rector of Upton Pyne, who married Elizabeth Bradford, daughter of Rev. George Bradford.
Charles Northcote (1743–1745), fourth son, died an infant.
