Dear Chris
I would be most interested to know if you can see a Katherine Huddlestone of
Crackenthorpe, Westmorland, in the early 1400s married to John Machell or
Mauchell. She is my 14th great grandmother.

C. Roy Hudleston in 'Cumberland Families and Heraldry' states:

|John de Hudleston (d. c. 1252) .... marr. Joan, dau. and heir of Adam de
Boyvill, qv, and acquired the Lordship of Millom, which passed to their son
Sir John Hudleston (d. before 1306), a noted soldier, who fought against the
Welsh and Scots, and was present at the Battle of Falkirk and at the seige
of Caerlaverock. He was Governor of Galloway and Keeper of Ayr, Wigtown,
Cruggleton and Botel Castels 1297. He sealed the Barons' letter to the Pope
as Lord of Aneys 1301.|

A quick skim of the rest of this entry on the Hudlestons of Millom would
seem to suggest that the lineage from Sir John goes down to two heiresses
who sold the Lordship of Millom to Sir James Lowther in 1774 - however the
line is quite complicated, and without sitting down and drawing a chart, I
wouldn't like to guarantee that they were his descendants.
