Notes re Woolhouse
The Woolhouse family were established in Rotherham from the fourteenth century and in Glapwell from the late fifteenth to the late seventeenth centuries. In 1684, Thomas Woolhouse's heiress Elizabeth married Samuel Hallowes son of Samuel of Norton.
The Hallowes family became prominent in the 17th century through the activities of Nathaniel Hallowes (1582-1661) probably son and heir of Thomas of Derby, an active Parliamentarian and Member of Parliament for Derby in the Short and Long Parliaments. Nathaniel Hallowes purchased substantial properties in Dethick, Muston (Leicestershire) Thornsett and Mugginton, but the family also maintained a connection with Norton and finally established itself in Glapwell after the marriage of Samuel with Elizabeth Woolhouse. Samuel succeeded to the Hallowes estate on his father's death and his wife Elizabeth came into possession of the Glapwell estate on the death of her father Thomas Woolhouse circa 1698, but with reversion to her son Thomas on her death. She died circa 1721.
