Nathaniel Gaskell, of Manchester, was b. at Styche 29 Sep., and bap. 2 Oct. 1725, at Moreton-Say. He was ed. at 4 different schools, viz.: (i) Lostock, in Cheshire; (2) Market (*) As to how far these early writs of summons did in fact create any peerage title, see Appendix A in the last volume. As to this particular case see also p. 313, note "e." C") There is no doubt of this fact, inasmuch as his elder brother's son, Sir John [Lord] Clinton, was found his heir. According to some accounts he had a da. Eliza- beth, who m. Sir John Fitzwilliam, of Sprotborough, and was ancestress of the succeeding race there, as also of the present Earl FitzWilliam. The only probable surmise as to this daughter, who inherited none of his lands, is, that, if she ever existed, she was illegitimate. (■=) It is remarkable that in his will, dat. 23 Aug. 1354, he is called "William, Lord Clinton " [only], and his widow, in her will, dat. 30 Oct. 1367, is called "Julian de Clinton." Both are given in the Test. Vet.
