| Notes |
- Walter Carlton was the first of the family to leave the old homestead, for which he had such an affection that he returned to Beeford for the christening of his first two children (and most fortunately, since the early Hornsea register is lost). It may be imagined that his ability immediately commended him to the Gibbon family. In the year following his marriage he was joined with the mother of his very young wife in the administration of the estate of Peter Gibbon, who had died probably just about the time of his daughter's marriage to Walter. A similar expression of confidence is to be seen twelve years later, when he was named supervisor in the will of his wife's stepfather, William Ombler. In his various land transactions, as evidenced by the fines and by the Hornsea Survey of 1608, he was associated with the Gibbon inheritance.
In his will, dated 15 Mar. 1622, but not proved until 1626, it may he inferred that Walter Carlton's most important lands (in Great Hatfield, probably part of the Gibbon estate) went to his son Edward. It may be noted that the Widow Margery Gibbon had also held "Shirewater," given to his daughter Anne, in 1608. This same property, "Sherewater," was in the custody of Walter Carlton in 1610, when his cattle broke out of a pasture there, and put him under the necessity of paying a small fine, together with his brother-in-law, William Day. This is the only appearance of the Carleton name in the local court rolls during a period of fifteen years.

Burton in the Diocese of York, deceased, through the witnesses sworn.

Mrs. Jane (Gibbon) Carlton presumably had to sacrifice her house and land
in Hornsea Burton when she married again, 23 Jan. 1626, at Hornsea,
William Birkell, Jr., of Mappleton. She probably took the younger
children there with her, though Edward Carlton reMed in Hornsea until
1629 at least. The loss of Hornsea and Mappleton registers precludes
tracing her further.
