Herbert Howorth, Esq. of the Whitehouse, m, Margaret, dau. of Bartholomew Lutley, Esq. of Lawton, co. Salop, b. in 1639, by Margaret, his wife, dau. and heir of Herbert Jenkes, Esq. of Newhall, co. Salop, (see Barneby Of Brockhampton.) and by her (who d. 11 Oct. 1744, aged 78) had, with one son, Herbert, who d. s. p., five daus., of whom the eldest,
Magdalen Howorth, m. Robert Haselden, Esq., and was mother of
Herbert Haselden, Esq., who m. Mary, dau. of Samuel Benbow, Esq., nephew of the gallant Admiral Benbow, and had an only dau. and heiress,
Frances Haselden, who m. William Wood, Esq., a magistrate and deputy-lieut. for Herefordshire, b. 18 Oct. 1758, son of Nicholas Wood, and Anne Seward, his wife, who was sister of William Seward, LL.l).,
Confiscation and out-lawry for their loyalty in the time of the Commonwealth did much to scatter the worthy family to which Admiral Benbow belonged; and the connections of it now extant are not many. A grand-niece of the admi-ral, Mary, was married to Herbert Haselden, Esq., of the White House, county of Hereford, the head and representative of an old Herefordshire family, and was great-grandmother-of the present representative, Her-bert Howorth Wood, Esq., of the White House, near the city of Hereford. Of the kindred of Admiral Benbow, was also the late John Benbow, Esq., of Lincoln's Inn, M.P. for Dudley, whose two sons are the present Colonel Clifton Benbow, of Bath, and John Henry Benbow, Esq., of Lincoln's Inn.
