Notes

 

I have not found direct confirmation of the maiden surname of Margaret (number 29), wife of Richard Saltonstall. However, she appears to have been a daughter of Sir William Nutt of Chigwell, Essex. At the time of her marriage to Richard Saltonstall, she was described as Margaret Forster of St Mildred Poultry, widow. Humphrey Forster, gentleman, of St Nicholas Acons, and Margaret Nutt of Chigwell, spinster, were married at Holy Trinity, Minories, London, on 14 Oct 1662. The marriage allegation (London Metropolitan Archives, MS 10091/26) states that she was about twenty years old and a daughter of Sir William Nutt of Chigwell. “Mr Humphrey Foster Marchant” was buried at St Nicholas Acons on 9 Feb 1662/63 and administration was granted in the PCC to his widow Margaret Forster on 2 Mar 1662/63. It may be noted that William Saltonstall, son of Richard Saltonstall, was baptised at Chigwell in 1666.

 

Another possibility which was investigated is that Richard Saltonstall’s wife was the Margaret Pulter who married John Forster or Forester at St Mary Aldermary, London, in 1657/58. The PCC will of John Forster, proved in 1660, mentions his wife Margaret and her father Arthur Pulter. The will of Arthur Pulter was proved in the PCC in 1689/90. It does not mention any Saltonstalls but mentions his grandson James Forester, whose monumental inscription states him to be “Grandson and sole Heir of Arthur Pulter”. It is therefore apparent that Arthur’s daughter Margaret was not the same individual as the wife of Richard Saltonstall.
