River, a resident for 8 years with a family of 7).

Bishop FEILD met George CROCKER on his vis it to the West

Coast in 1849: "Saturday, August 4 .... an old man named

CROCKER .... comes fromDorsetshire [England], but has been

many years settled in this country, and keeps many sheep and

pigs. He was the first settler at Trout River, is married to

a sister of the BRAKES [of the Bay of Islands], and has nine

children. Sunday, August 5 .... CROCKER has a good deal of

land under cultivation and grows turnips, barley and c. His

garden is w ell cultivatedand apparently he is in very

comfortable circumstances, but grumbles like an Englishman,

and declares he has a hard matter to keep his family. He had

himself baptized all his children but one. His wife,

howev er, was urgent that all might be now baptized, and he

concurred ..." [CI:159:?2:CI]

Lyneham, in this parish, gave name to a family who possessed the manor till about the year 1340: it was afterwards, for a short time, in that of Topcliffe. In the year 1402, it belonged to John Crocker, son of John Crocker, Esq., of Hele. Sir John Crocker, of this family, was one of the knights who were attainted and outlawed by Richard III., and who accompanied the Earl of Devon to the relief of Exeter, when besieged by Perkin Warbeck , in 1497. (fn. 46) Courtenay Crocker, Esq., who died in 1740, left an only daughter, who brought Lyneham to James Bulteel, Esq., grandfather of John Bulteel, Esq., of Fleet, the present proprietor. Lyneham is now a farm-house. There was formerly a park here. Windsor, in this parish, gave name to a family who possessed the fee of this barton by the gift of William Lord Rous. One of the coheiresses of Windsor married Richard Fortescue, from whom, says Sir William Pole, descended the Forte scues of the east part of England. Afterwards Windsor became the property and residence of a younger branch of the Crockers of Lyneham, who, on removing to Bovey Tracey, sold this estate, in the reign of William III., to Dr. Blackall: it was by h im bequeathed to Colonel William Scott, of Essex, and has been lately purchased of Colonel William Henry Scott, of the 3d Foot-guards, by Mr. Bastard.
