ROBERT HULME of Reddish, husbandman, inherited his father's lands. He was buried at Stockport 12 Nov. 1640. His will, dated 20 Aug. 1640, was proved at Chester 24 Nov. 1649 by Robert Hulme, one of the executors, power being reserved to the other executor, Hugh Johnson, whom the testator styles "brother-in-law." By this will Robert Hulme bequeathed to his son Robert " my estate and interest," etc., " in the messuage in which I now dwell and which has been held," etc., " by my predecessors tyme out of mynd,'I hoping "my right worshippfull master Edward Cooke esq. will dale mercifullie with him."

He married at Stockport, 8 Oct. 1605, KATHERINE JOHNSON, who
was buried at Stockport 8 Sept. 1630.

Children:

i. JOHN, bapt. at Stockport 3 May 1607 ; matriculated at Brasenose College, Oxford, as son of " Robert Hulme of Reddish, pleb.," 18 Nov. 1625, aged 17. As he is not named In his father's will it is probable that he d. bef. 1640.

ii. OBADIAH, the emigrant, bapt. at Didsbury 18 Mar. 1609-10 as " Obadiath s. of Robert Hulme"; was living at Reddish in 1633, and is mentioned In his father's will, his legacy of £10 being dependent on the death, under age, of a younger brother. It is evident from this that he had already received his filial portion. In the Stockport register, under date 20 Dec. 1626, is recorded the burial of "Obadia son of Robert Hulme of Redlche." This cannot relate to our Obadiah as the will proves that Obadiah was living in 1640. Hulme was a very common name in the district. He m. at the Collegiate Church, Manchester, 20 Nov. 1630, KATHERINE HYDE. Child : John, "infant of Obadiah Hulmes of Redich," bur. at Stockport 27 June 1633.

iii. JOAN, dau. of Robert Hulme," bapt. at Didsbury 2 Feb. 1G10-11. Not named In her father's will, and perhaps the infant of Robert Holmes of Redlche bur. at Stockport 5 Nov. 1612.

iv. SAMUEL, " son of Robert Hulme of Rediche," bur. at Stockport 2 Nov. 1618.

v. SAMUEL, perhaps bapt. at Didsbury 23 Feb. 1616-17, but if so erroneously registered as " Robert s. of Robert Hulme." Matriculated at Brasenose College, Oxford, as " son of Robert of Rediche, pleb.," 16 Feb. 1682-3, aged 16; B.A. 17 May 1636. To him his father bequeathed "6s. 8d. and no more in regard of the former great charges I have been putt unto in and about his education."

vi. NATHANIEL, "s. of Robert Holme of Redich," bapt. at Didsbury 12 July 1618, bur. at Stockport 10 Sept. 1681.

vii. ROBERT, bapt. at Stockport 25 Mar. 1621 as " Robert s. of Robert Hulme of Rediche." Inherited his father's holding at Reddish, appears also to have been a tanner, with tan yards and tan pits at Meadowcroft In Middleton, and possibly also had a place of business In Manchester, for in his will he mentions " my great coffer in Manchester." He was a ruling elder of the church at Gorton
during the Commonwealth, being approved 11 Dec. 1649 ; a member of the First Classis, 1651 to 1660 ; and several times a delegate to the Provincial Assembly at Preston. He was bur. at Groton 17 Nov. 1697. His will, in which he is described as " of Reddish yeoman," was proved at Chester 11 Oct. 1698. He m. at the Collegiate Church, Manchester, 6 Nov. 1641, ANN THORPE, who was bur. at Gorton 16 Nov. 1672. He had sons John and Obadiah, and other children.

viii. JOSEPH, bur. at Stockport 13 June 1623, as " son of Robert Hulmes of Redich."

ix. JOSEPH, youngest son, named in father's will 1640, and then under twenty-one. To him his father left £40 and all his books.
