129 1658. The family was ancient and respectable, and our anti- quary was willing to accept the evidence of genealogists by pro- fession, that it might be traced to Aykfith or Aykfrith, a noble baron, lord of Dent, Sedberg, and twelve other seigniories in the time of Canute, the Dane. From that period they are found in the situation of lords of the manor of Thursby, Thorsby, Thoresby, or, as the name of the place is now pronounced, Thuresby, in Wensleydale. The direct male line continued to Hen...ry Thoresby, a lawyer of eminence, who died in 1615, leaving a single daughter and heiress, Eleanor, who, by mar- riage with Sir T. Hardresse, of Great Hardresse, in Kent, brought the rnanor of Thoresby, with a large personal fortune, into that family. Hemy had a younger brother, Ralph Thoresby, settled, in what capacity we are not told, at "Wool- ham, near Barnard Castle. Ralph was the father of George Thoresby, of West Cottingwuth, in the county of York, w T ho by two successive marriages had issue John and Paul.
