One-Name
Study: The DUFFKIN (DUFKIN) Family
C16th/C18th Nuneaton,
Rugby and Coventry (Warwickshire), Leicester & London
[An
English family name that became extinct in England in 1877 after a documented
history of almost 300 years]
Presented by �The
Geneal Geologist�, February 2017, following more than two decades of research
Additions, comments and corrections welcome.
Foreword
Family name derivation is uncertain, but perhaps typical
of names ending in -kin it may refer to a diminutive/pet name form of an Old
English personal name (the Scots equivalent being MacDuff). There are few BMD
(Birth-Marriage-Death) records after 1837 (the start of General Registration
for BMD) in the UK for this name, including spelling variants (i.e. no
Births, only 1 Marriage and 4 Deaths), so the family appears to have become
extinct in 1877, unless surviving due to unknown emigration. US families
believe their DUFKIN name originates from Lithuania, so do not appear to be
related to the English family. US census records support DUFKINs in the USA
having �Russia� (loosely defined) as their roots. In the C20th, the name
occurs in Canada and may be a surviving UK emigrate family, although most
likely same roots as the US family as there is no evidence to support any UK
connection. All evidence supports a very small group or single C16th
individual as the root of this family, perhaps an Eastern European immigrant,
since there are no earlier records to support an English family of long
standing. Over 99% of all British records attach to the only 48 individuals
born with the DUFFKIN name, who all belong to the same family tree.
Considering the small family group, it is a surprise that the name survived
the 350 years of written records, finally succumbing in the C19th due to few
males who either died childless or unmarried. This is their story.
In the Nuneaton area, records suggest the
following additional name variations, due to error in transcription or phonetic
spelling: DISKIN (although
found elsewhere in Britain), DUSSKIN,
DUFFKING & DUFKYN. Other possible variants
include LUKFIN. In Coventry,
the name was sometimes written as DURKIN
& DUPHKIN.
Who were the last of this family since General
Registration in 1837? Interestingly, the name reappears on the UK Electoral
Roll 2004-2007 through a Mr. Ben DUFKIN at Meadow Lane, Nottingham after a
gap of nearly 130 years. He is the only person registered with either
variant. Nothing is known of his origins as he does not appear in the UK BMD.
Based on age, an early 1980's DOB is suggested. The variation in household
names with whom he is registered suggests a foreign student. Today, any
stories about this family, who appeared to have been relatively wealthy
merchant traders, land holders and property owners in Warwickshire,
Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire & London, is only preserved
through a very limited number of surviving female lines and deduced from
limited public records.
The
last known DUFKIN variant:
James & Jane who married in 1833 but had no known issue. He died
in 1867 aged 76, she in 1877 aged 66 (the last living of all name variants).
The last known DUFFKIN variant:
Lydia, the sister of James, above who married in 1839 (the last known
marriage).
Mary who died in 1841, wife of Marmaduke who died in 1869 aged
61 (the last living male of the family).
The
first confirmed DUFFKIN:
William of
Nuneaton, Warwickshire who married in 1614 and is the recorded head of this
English family. His origins are unknown.
The
earliest recorded name:
�Joanna widow Dufkin� buried 4 Sep 1584 in Marden, Kent. As there
are no other known Kent references, the significance of this entry is not
known.
The
earliest possible of Nuneaton origins?
�Robert DIRKIN� baptised 21 Jan 1586 s/o Daniell
Other
records with DUFFKIN as a middle name:
Jeremiah Duffkin PARRISH (born Foleshill 15 Jun 1778, died Exhall
1841, WAR) s/o John PARRISH Junior & Elizabeth BIGGS (1739 Nuneaton �
1830 Longford, WAR) d/o Grace DUFFKIN & Jonathan BIGGS (m. 1735), below.
Ann Duffkin KNIGHT (c1803 Frome, Somerset) = Richard GREENLAND 8 Feb 1857
at Buckland Dinham, Frome, Somerset (reason for name unknown).
Elizabeth Duffkin ASHTON d/o Elizabeth DUFFKIN (below).
The LDS listing shows that the family name is restricted
to Nuneaton (Warwickshire), Leicestershire and London. The DUFFKINs were
around Nuneaton from since 1544 per Sir Marmaduke Constable's survey of the
county, but there are few records. Sir Marmaduke was a C16th Member of
Parliament for Warwickshire who resided in Nuneaton. He was buried in
Nuneaton churchyard on 20 Jun 1560. The occurrence of the name Marmaduke in
the DUFFKIN family may be in respect of this famous local individual.
Chilvers Coton (Nuneaton) was noted for pottery & tie making since the
mid C13th. From about 1650 the Nuneaton clothmaking trade gave way to silk
ribbon weaving which had spread from Coventry. The London connection would be
necessary for any high-class merchant trader and several DUFFKINs were
involved in tax collection (both local in the county and import duties in the
London docks).
I would welcome comments from & dialogue with
any family historians who find that they connect to this family and may have
additional information to share, as records are rare.

Coventry, and then of Rugby, remarried to Miss Mary SUTTON of
Leicester in 1805 (marriage advertised in Monthly Magazine and British Register, Volume 19, Issue 1).
Jeremiah was mainly resident in Rugby, Warwickshire, and was listed as a
mercer, draper & silkman with business interests in Burnley,
Lancashire. Residences included the upmarket The Newarkes in
Leicester, Barby in Northamptonshire, Cross Cheaping in Coventry and Leamington,
Warwickshire. In 1795 & 1797 Jeremiah & his first wife were
recorded as resident in Rugby and paying for Hair Powder certificates in
1795 & 1797, per a new tax law introduced (1 guinea per year).
Children include:

arriving in New York in Apr 1847 (perhaps on family business), but is
otherwise not recorded;
- Marmaduke DUFFKIN
(1807-69, Leicester). Unmarried, proprietor of houses (1851), with
whose death in 1869 was the last male DUFFKIN in England. Properties
included Rugby & The Newarkes, but was generally found to be
resident with his married sister in Swayfield, Lincolnshire;
- Elizabeth DUFFKIN
(1808-1885) = William Ashton DOLBY in 1834 Leicester. This couple,
who were in Swayfield, Lincolnshire in 1851 and then Islington, London
in 1871, before moving to the Hull area of East Yorkshire, had six
DOLBY children including unmarried Elizabeth Duffkin DOLBY (1836
Swayfield � 1882, Hull), unmarried Mary Ann DOLBY (1837

S P WRIGHT and the only child with known issue) & John
Edward DOLBY (1845 Swayfield -1907 Chelsea, London). Any surviving
stories in the modern day are most likely to be in descendants of this
branch of the family;
- Mary Ann DUFFKIN
(1812) = Edward HODGES in 1834 Leicester, and died a couple of
years after her marriage in Leicester;
- Ann
DUFFKIN (abt Oct 1754) = ? PUGH, based on �nephew� of
Jeremiah, John PUGH, registered
at Rugby School in 1802. Marriage not found, but other sister marriages
are accounted for;

Chilvers Coton (no known issue), then Anna
Maria REMINGTON in 1762 Coventry. Their daughter Rachel DUFFKIN (c1769-1831)
= Benjamin BIDMEAD (my 5xGGPs). Their son Remington
DUFFKIN (c1771-85) was apprenticed (as DURKIN) in Coventry first to his
father in 1782, then to John HARRIS, Weaver, in 1785 and died 5 months later.
The Story of Sarah DUFFKIN - An Independent
Woman of Her Times
The basis for the following was
kindly forwarded to me by the Nuneaton
& North Warwickshire FHS; the original author is unknown
and therefore cannot be credited here. This is entirely my own edited
version:
Sarah DUFFKIN,
daughter of Marmaduke
DUFFKIN, a small farmer of Nuneaton, Warwickshire, and his
wife Sarah, was baptised on 20 Apr 1699, but lost both parents by her fifth
birthday; her mother was buried in Mar 1701 and her father in Feb 1704. It
is likely her uncle Richard
DUFFKIN (?1670-1733) and his wife Mary (died 1731) were her
early guardians since the only blood relations who received legacies under
Sarah's will were the children and grandchildren of Richard & Mary.
Most of what can be learned of
Sarah's later life is from two anonymous biographies of Alderman John BARBER
(1675-1741), both published in 1741 immediately after his death. The first
"The Life and
Character of John Barber, Esq., late Lord-Mayor of London, deceased"
(LC), is sympathetic to both Barber and Sarah. The second, "An impartial History of the Life,
Character, Amours, Travels, and Transactions of Mr. John Barber,
City-Printer, Common-Councillor, Alderman, and Lord Mayor of London"
(IH) was issued from the notorious 'gutter-press' of Edmund Curll, the work
of a political enemy, and is very hostile to both people. There is also a
full and balanced modern biography: "Tyrant: The Story of John Barber"
(1989) by Charles A. Rivington.
These sources agree that, at some
uncertain date, probably shortly before 1720, Sarah DUFFKIN was
in London as maidservant of the celebrated and scandalous novelist Mary de
la Rivi�re Manley (1663-1724) at a time when Mrs. Manley, �running to fat�
and approaching fifty, was the mistress of John Barber, the printer, Tory,
and friend of publisher/writer Jonathan Swift. Barber was a wealthy man,
who, as a Tory with well-connected friends such as Swift, Alexander Pope
and Viscount Bolingbroke, had enjoyed lucrative contracts in the reign of
Queen Anne; also, he could buy a substantial country estate in East Sheen
and a fine town house in Queen Square, Holborn.
Sarah
DUFFKIN was 'an ignorant
and insolent Country-wench, of as mean an Extraction as [Barber's] own.
This Creature he hired in the Country, and brought her up to Town to attend
Mrs. Manley in the lowest Degree of Servitude, a common House-Maid at the
Wages of four Pounds a Year' (IH, i, 24). On the other hand
Sarah 'succeeded at Mrs.
Manley's Death to her Place in his House and Affection; who proved an
excellent Manager of his Affairs; faithful to her Trust, and to the
Confidence reposed in her, and just to him to the last Hour of his Life;
all which appears, the Alderman was fully convinced of, by the large
Appointment he has made for a Provision for her after Decease; who, during
his Life, was Mistress of his House, and lived in a handsome, sumptious
Manner, suitable to his opulent Fortune' (LC, 26). However,
Sarah's place in John Barber's house and affection must have been earlier
than stated here. Mary Manley did not die until 11 Jul 1724, still in the
apartment she had long occupied in Barber's printing office at Lambeth
Hill, whereas Sarah was undoubtedly Barber's long established housekeeper
by 1722, the year that he was elected alderman. [Note: Barber's Will refers
to more than 20 years of faithful service, and she was appointed one of 3
Executors.]
In
that year, Barber travelled to Italy, by way of France, ostensibly for his
health, but also, as was alleged by his enemies at the time, to take money
and letters from English Jacobites to the Pretender. While abroad, Barber
left his fine new house at Queen Square in the charge of Sarah, just turned
23, and per LC ' the
person who had for some Years had the Charge of it' (LC, 43),
so if she had ever been the common house-maid sneered at by IH she was one
no longer. Her resourcefulness and mature sense of responsibility is
evidenced by what followed. 'The
gentle woman, whom we have named for the Governess of his House, in his
Absense...made some Discovery in Relation to his Affairs' and,
wishing to acquaint him of it, travelled to Naples. Rivington conjectures
that Sarah had discovered that, despite government suspicions (probably
justified) that Barber was engaged in treasonable dealings with the Pretender,
a pardon could be arranged for him. Certainly, Sarah made the arduous
journey to Naples and returned in 1724 with her employer (and, one would
guess, lover), who had ever afterwards, a high opinion of her.
After
his return, Barber became once again one of the leading Tories in London;
particularly prominent in his year as Lord Mayor (1732-33) when he
coordinated City opposition to Walpole's Excise Bill. During the
Lord-mayorship Sarah became acquainted with a young prot�g�e of Swift,
Laetitia Pilkington (1712-50) - LP, whose profligate husband Matthew was
for a while Barber's chaplain, and who was the probable author of the
hostile IH published by Curll. LP writes in her Memoirs (1748-54) of John Barber that he 'was a Batchelor; he had a
Gentlewoman who managed his Household affairs, and who, except on public
days, did the Honours of his table. Mr. P told me she was violently in love
with him, and was ready to run mad upon hearing I was come to London. How
true this might be I know not, but as she was very civil to me, and was old
enough to be my Mother, I was not in the least disturbed with jealousy on
her own Account' (i. 159-60). Sarah was, 13 years older than
Laetitia. In the event the two ladies hit it off well enough to go to the
theatre together.
In
1734 Mrs. Sarah
DUFKIN, a Mr.
DUFKIN (Sarah's brother Jeremiah), and John Barber (five
copies) were among the nine hundred subscribers to Poems on Several Occasions
by Mary Barber (no relation, c1690-1757), an Irish prot�g�e of Swift, who
also subscribed for ten copies. This year Barber stood for parliament, but
his Jacobite-Tory past told against him and he was defeated after a
customarily expensive campaign. Sarah had advised him not to stand (LC,
55). One can envisage Barber as he grew older depending more upon Sarah. He
admitted that she 'was
better acquainted with the Nature of his Constitution than any other Person'
(IH, p. xxx). Barber was a martyr to gout (LC, 31), that plague of City
alderman. Sarah remained with Barber in the ambiguous position of a wife
and no wife. LP testifies that Sarah presided over Barber's table except on
'public days'.
The hostile biographer notes that when the couple were at Calais in 1724 'she appeared in the Grandeur of the
Wife of an Alderman in London', but Barber's French footman
observed, when they were back in London, that 'she was the Mistress abroad, the Maid at home'
(IH, 24, 26). In Barber's will, made on 28 Dec 1740, five days before his
death at the age of 65, she is called 'Mistress
Sarah Dufkin, Spinster' and is thanked 'for her long and faithful services,
and extraordinary care of me for upwards of twenty years' (IH,
p. xxiii).
Sarah
was an executor and the residuary legatee of the will. Pecuniary legacies
to many individual persons totalled �5,000, including sums of �100 each to
a servant Mary Hammond, who was in Sarah's service when she made her will
in 1756, and to the playwright and Tory journalist Charles MOLLOY. As
residuary legatee Sarah inherited the houses at East Sheen and Queen
Square, with all their contents, together with �20,000 in money. The author
of IH sourly alleges that Sarah 'bullied'
Barber 'out of the Bulk
of his whole estate' and compares the fortune she inherited
with the mere �1,000 left by Barber to another of his mistresses, Charlotte
Davenant. (These two ladies remained acquainted with one another to the
extent that, 15 year later, Sarah bequeathed �50 to Charlotte; whether as
an olive branch or a snub is not altogether clear).
Sarah
used some of the �20,000 to purchase an annuity of �400 a year. She sold
the house and fifteen acres at East Sheen to a Jeremiah Harman, but
retained what was evidently a sizeable tract of land which she leased to
her brother Jeremiah
DUFFKIN (maltster of Edmonton) for over �200 p.a., (cf. his
father Marmaduke,
for whom rents of 9s. 6d. or �2 10s. were significant sums). As for Sarah
DUFFKIN, now with an ample fortune at her own disposal, she was a highly
attractive proposition.
It
is reasonable to assume that she met Charles Molloy during John Barber's
lifetime; quite possibly at the dinner table over which she presided. He
was an Irishman (origins unknown, but born late 1600's, possibly in Birr,
part of King's County, and educated in Dublin). By February 1715 he was living
in London. Sarah & John were married eighteen months after Barber's
death and lived in financial comfort for the rest of their lives. The
marriage settlement was dated 16 Jul 1742.
Sarah
had no children by Barber or Molloy. She died in Feb 1758, having made her
will on 7 Jan 1756 (PCC 47 Hutton [1758]: prob. 14 Feb 1758). It provides
annuities of respectively �40, �20, and �10 per year for her cousins Marmaduke DUFFKIN
of Nuneaton and Samuel
DUFFKIN of Attleborough and her maid Mary Hammond. It makes
no mention of Marmaduke & Samuel's siblings, Grace, Mary & Richard, or of
Samuel's children, several of whom were already dead. By contrast, Mary & Sarah DUFFKIN,
daughters of cousin Marmaduke and his wife Catherine (evidently Sarah's
favourites and London residents) were to received �1,000 each, together
with other requests, when they reached the age of 21. Grace & Richard, two other
children of Marmaduke, both apparently over 21, where to have �100 each.
All Marmaduke's other children would also receive a hundred pounds each on
attaining the age of 21; they are not named in Sarah's will but must
include Susanna, Jeremiah and Elizabeth, later
mentioned in Charles Molloy's will. (Marmaduke & Catherine had three
other children where the author of this article has no records after
baptism). �100 each was left to Mary GOWLAND of Nuneaton, Elizabeth TERRY
of Southwark, Mary JEFFREYS of Westminster, and Lady Cromarty, but only �50
to 'my Friend Charlotte
Davenant, Spinster': Barber's old mistress. It is stipulated that
all the legacies to the women are 'for
their own separate use and not to be the subject to the debts, control, or
management of their respective husbands'. The real estate in
East Sheen was to be placed in trust to pay two annuities, of �50 &
�20, to John Barber's kin and to provide for the maintenance and education
of the favoured second cousins Mary
& Sarah DUFFKIN, who were also to receive the
testator's rings, jewels, trinkets, and wearing apparel. Charles Molloy was
to have use of Sarah's gold repeating watch and best diamond ring, which,
after his death, would go to the aforesaid Mary & Sarah. The residue of
Sarah's estate 'over and
above what was settled upon him at our Marriage', went to her
husband, 'hoping that
when he comes to dispose of his Fortune, he will bestow some part thereof
on such of my Relations as he in his discretion shall think most deserving
of it'. When he died nine years later the settlement and
residue combined must have totalled well over �10,000. None of Sarah's
siblings are mentioned in the will. Her brother Jeremiah was
renting her land at East Sheen in the 1740s, but died in 1751.
Charles
Molloy's Will included over �8,000 to be divided between ten members of his
late wife's family and their in-laws. A �1,000 each went to Charles HANFORD
and Richard HUDDLESTON, both of the parish of St Giles in the Fields,
Holborn (the husbands respectively of the favourite second cousins Mary
& Sarah, who they themselves were also to receive another �1,000 each,
together with all Molloy's trinkets, toys, jewels, gold, silver, and copper
medals, and pieces of foreign coin, equally shared.) �1,000 each also went
to Jane & Charles HUDDLESTON, the children of Richard & Sarah, when
they turned 21. �2,000 was to be divided equally between the other children
of Marmaduke DUFFKIN,
i.e. the two married daughters, Elizabeth
TURNER & Grace
LAUGHTON, and the two children still under 21, Jeremiah & Susanna. All
legacies to married women followed the same terms as in Sarah's will. Elizabeth DUFFKIN
of Edmonton (Jeremiah's widow) received �100. All Molloy's household goods,
furniture, plate, china, linen, etc. (books & pictures excepted) were
divided between HANFORD & HUDDLESTON, thereby faithfully carrying out
his late wife's wishes. The three DUFFKINs who inherited from Sarah, but
were absent from Charles' will were her cousin Marmaduke (1707)
and Samuel
(1696), who were already dead, as was Marmaduke's son Richard (1732).
