[10695] Reference: "Medieval English Ancestors of Certain Americans," Carl Boyer III (Santa Clarita, CA, 2001), p. 67. Hugh was summoned as Lord Despencer 14 Dec 1264 and was Chief Justiciar of England and a leader of the baronial party - and was killed at Evesham in August, 1265{- he had a grandfather of the same name who was sherrif of Salop and Staffordshire under King Henry III, and he had both a son and grandson named Hugh who figured largely in the struggles of Kings Edward II & III - see Burke's "Dormant Peerages" (London, 1883, pp. 165-66.)} The second Sir Hugh was Earl of Winchester (1322-26) and was executed by Mortimer's party 27 Oct 1326 at Bristol at age 64. The third Sir Hugh married the eldest of the Clare heiresses (and thereby received part of the Gloucester holdings); he was executed late in November, 1336 at Hereford for assisting Edward II to elude the Marcher barons. See "Edward II," Harold F. Hutchison (N.Y.: Stein and Day, 1972). Carr P. Collins, Jr., "Royal Ancestors of Magna Charta Barons" (Dallas: 1959), p. 78, identifies him as son of Thomas le Despencer and states that Sir Hugh is of Loughborough, Burton, Freely, Arnesby, Parlington, Hillam, Ryhall, Belmesthorp, Rutland, Sibsey and Aukborough, was a Knight, Constable of Horston, Devizes, Oxford, Orford, Nottingham Castles and the Tower of London, Justiciar of England; was born about 1223 and slain at the Battle of Evesham on 08-04-1265; married about 1260 Aline Basset, heiress of Wycombe, Compton-Basset and Woolton-Basset. Aline Basset m. (2) Roger Bigod; she is dau. of Sir Philip Basset of Wycombe, Bucks, Justiciar, and Hawise, dau. of Sir Matthew de Louvaine of Little Easton, Essex. NOTE: It appears that his father is a son of Thomas named Hugh le Despencer, b. ca. 1197 at Ryhall, Rutlandshire, died 23 Feb 1238, wife unknown. Homer Beers James states "He died in 1265, slain fighting for Simon de Montfort at Evesham." Cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_le_Despencer,_1st_Baron_le_Despencer.

[14726] http://www.memorychest.com/whitcombline/htmg66.htm reports in 2005 that Harry m. 4 Feb 1875 Martha Virginia Johnson (b. 29 Aug 1852 in Morristown, Shelby Co., IN, d. 19 Dec 1932 in Shelbyville, IN, buried in Forest Hill Cemetery, daughter of John B. Johnson and Saray Hays) and had two daughters who died young and David Hays Whitcomb (b. 24 Jun 1887, d. 25 Jun 1951). Find A Grave Memorial 14336050 offers: "After an illness of less than thirty hours, Harry H. Whitcomb, one of the most prominent business men in this city, died Sunday morning at his home in this city, shortly after nine o'clock, without having regained consciousness from a stroke of paralysis which he suffered Saturday morning about 3:30 o'clock, his entire left side being affected. Mr. Whitcomb was apparently in his usual good health Friday night on retiring and when he was stricken Saturday morning, Mrs. Whitcomb heard her husband suffering and she called the family physician against the wishes of Mr. Whitcomb. He continued growing worse until he sank into unconsciousness, resulting in his death. The deceased was born in Columbus, Ohio, July 11, 1844, and at the time of his death was aged sixty-seven years and seven months. When four years of age he came to Shelby county with his parents, Rev. and Mrs. David Whitcomb, the father being one of the best known ministers in that part of Ohio where he had resided. The family located on a farm on arriving here and they continued to live there for eighteen years. The deceased secured his education in the schools of Shelby county and later he entered Asbury University, now known as DePauw University. He obtained his degree in 1869. Finishing college he took up the study of law in the office of Davis & Wright, which profession he practiced a few years, and was elected city clerk for a term of two years, after which he was appointed a gauger in the revenue service, which place he held eleven years. He was also known as the pioneer insurance and loan man of Shelbyville, and was engaged in that business along with the business of gauger. He was always interested in politics, being a staunch Republican. At the time of his death he was a trustee of DePauw University, and was always a liberal contributor to the endowment fund. After the election of Grover Cleveland, in 1844, Mr. Whitcomb resigned his position in the government[sic] service and became an active member of the manufacturing establishment of Conrey-Birely, now known as the Davis-Birely Table Company. He was secretary-treasurer of that concern for several years, until it had grown to bt[sic] the largest manufacturing concern in the city. Eighteen months ago he resigned his position and sold his interest in the plant, and then took over the Blessing hotel property, which includes the Ray hotel and a large amount of property in that block. This property was transferred to the Charles Davis estate a few weeks ago by Mr. Whitcomb. He was also the promoter of the Shelbyville Trust Company, which opened for business in this city the middle of last July. Mr. Whitcomb was one of the leading members of the Methodist Episcopal church of this city and was one of the best known men in the financial circles of the Indiana Methodist Conference, which is the largest conference of that denomination in the world. He was one of the teachers in the First M. E. church Sunday school and had charge of a class of fifty young men, whom he taught every Sunday afternoon. Mr. Whitcomb was also a prominent Mason."
