Blackwell's of Litton, Derbyshire 1550 - 1720

Ellis¹⁴ Blackwell (Humphrey¹², Robert¹¹, John¹⁰, William⁹) Ellis is the last generation in the court case and is in possession of some property. He is therefore alive in 1588. Land records in the Bagshaw Collection imply his son Adam. Is Humphrey Adam's son or brother?:

• Adam¹⁴ Blackwell m. Alice d.o. Anthony and Marie Ouldfield (B2059 in 1618). Marie Outfield refers to Adam Blackwell as her daughter's husband in 1618, but in later records she refers only to Humphrey and George in 1627 (B2060) and 1628 (B2061). This implies Adam and perhap Alice are dead by 1627. It also implies Humphrey is Adam and Alice's son.  B2059 in 1618 also mentions Ellis Blackwell this implies Ellis may be Adams father. More documentation is needed.

• Humphrey¹⁵ Blackwell (d.1639) m. Anne.
  His will says he got his lands from Humphrey (presumably Ellis's father).
  (Humphrey's will refers to Sir John Manners; someone might check manorial records at Belvoir Castle (Duke of Rutland) getting access is very difficult).
1. George¹⁶ Blackwell inherited in 1639 the farm and house of his father (d.1687 Lichfield wills). (also B2060 in 1627, B2061 in 1628 ref. Humphrey & George B.) (the Oldfield or Outfield family seems to have many links to Blackwell & Eyre Families)
