In the early years of the seventeenth century a family
of Redmans, whose story presents some features of
interest, was settled at Kirkby Lonsdale, a few miles
distant from the colony of Thornton-in-Lonsdale, of which
it was probably an off-shoot. This was the household of
" Dominus Jacobus " Redman, who seems to have been
vicar of Kirkby Lonsdale, and later, of Halton. The
Reverend James married Agnes Otway, of Middleton,
bore at least seven children to her husband, and after his
death spent the closing years of her life among her own
people at Middleton, where she died in 1628.
By her will (3rd September, 1628) in which she is de-
scribed as " Agnes, widow of James Redman, late parson
of Halton," she leaves to her daughters, Isabel and Sarah,
portions equal to those which their sisters enjoyed. She
bequeaths small legacies to her daughter Rebecca's chil-
dren, Bryan and James Mansergh; to her sister, " John
Otway's wife," and her two daughters; to her " Aunt
Bower" ; to Dorothy Staveley ; and to Mr. Leake, for the
care of her children. Her daughter, Margaret, is to have
her household goods at a reasonable rate ; and the

Agnes married Rev. James REDMAN, son of Edward REDMAN and Unknown, on 27 Nov 1603 in Ballilnick, Ireland. (Rev. James REDMAN was born about 1573 in Halton, Yorkshire, England and was buried on 1 Sep 1620 in Kirby Lonsdale, Yorkshire, England.)
