or her life and records
The Dackombe family probably
originated in Normandy, but the earliest British records show that in 1205 the
family possessed the manor of Daccombe near Torquay in Devon. No doubt the
family name was taken from this manor. Thomas Daccombe gave up the manor of
Daccombe to Torre Abbey in Torquay and moved to the Isle of Wight where he
possessed land in Chale in the south of the Island from 1227. Later the family were at Carisbrooke and at
Fairley near Newport and at Brading in the east of the Island.
Around 1370 John
Daccombe of Brading bought the manor of Chilworth near Southampton and Thomas
Daccombe, possibly his brother acquired the manor of Stepleton in Dorset by
marriage. About one hundred years later, John Daccombe of Chilworth acquired
the Stepleton manor and founded the Dackombe families of Stepleton, Corfe
Castle, Blandford and Winterbourne Kingston in Dorset, from which modern
families are probably derived.
Perhaps the most
notable member of the family was Sir John Dackombe (c1570-1618) who was
secretary to Robert Cecil, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and knighted by
James 1 in 1617. A later member was Master of the Pewterer’s Company in London
Further information
of the origin
of the family and of the descendants of John of Stepleton can be found in two
articles published in SDNQ in March and September 2011. More information
particularly for 19th and 20th century descendants can be
found on John Terry’s website.

John-16 was probably the grandson of John Daccombe
of Brading, Isle of Wight, who acquired Chilworth manor around 1370 John-15, son of John of Chilworth, acquired
Steepleton around 1470. He had four
sons; the eldest remained at Steepleton;
the second probably founded of the Corfe Castle branch of the family;
a fourth son Henry founded families in Dorset and Lincoln. The third son, John-14, was at Blandford Forum and
Horton in Dorset; he had a son John and a grandson Richard who moved to
Motcombe in the same county. Richard’s ambitious eldest son, John-12, was sent
to London to study law, and became steward and secretary to Robert
Cecil. Later, he was knighted and
appointed Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster by James I. Sir John died after only two years as chancellor,
before he could amass any serious fortune.
His son John led a quiet life in London and his grandson, Robert,
sought to prevent a descent into poverty by marrying an heiress, Mary
Wyke. Unfortunately, Mary incurred
the displeasure of her mother and was disinherited from the bulk of her
estate. Ironically a large portion of
this estate was eventually inherited by a descendant of Mary – Daniel
Dackombe-5 Part of this estate consisted of property at
Marchwiel in Denbighshire. Robert’s
son, John, lived at Marchwiel while attempting to claim ownership – which
eventually failed. John’s son, Aquila, was apprenticed in London and
set up as a pewterer, but was declared bankrupt in 1761. His son also named Aquila, and also a
pewterer, restored the family finances and in 1818 at the age of 71 he was
elected master of the Pewterer’s company. His son Daniel became a printer in South London
and inherited a valuable estate of land in Ashtead Surrey from the mother of
Mary Wyke. At his death he divided
his money between his surviving children.
His daughter Arabella however who had married a baker, Christopher
Brookbanks, died before him aged only 29, and did not benefit from his will. |
