      "Cloth of Gold"

     
     
      It is a well authenticated fact that on or about 27 June 1699, Captain William Kidd, of pirate fame, visited Gardiner's Island. then in possession of it 3rd proprietor, John Gardiner (3) (grandson of Lion); and that, in exchange for certain supplies furnished him, Captain Kidd gave to John and his wife presents of cloth of various sorts, and placed in John Gardiners care, to be subsequently called for by Kidd, several bales and boxes containing gold, silver, jewels, and cloth of various sorts. After the arrest of Captain Kidd, John Gardiner reported to the government authorities the existence of this deposit, and subsequently turned it over to a government committee appointed to receive the same and took their formal reciept therefor.
     
     
      Among the gifts presented to John Gardiner and his wife Mary King was undoubtedly the "Cloth of Gold" (or "Kidd Blanket") which on account of the incidents attached to its acquisition became an heirloom in the family; and this heirloom, by the varying influences of family history, has passed from the possession of those bearing the Gardiner name and is now in the possession of the heirs of the late Mrs. Joseph Hobson, of Washington, D.C..
     
     
      It has also been said that the wife of John Gardiner Mary King was requested to roast a pig for Captain Kidd. She being afraid to refuse him, cooked it very nice, and he was much pleased with it, he then made her a present of this silk ("Cloth of Gold"), which she gave to her daughters. Which is true, whether it is in being; we know not; but this was handed down through the generations.

Henry Raynsford

     Henry was born.1,2
     
     
      Henry Raynsford of Oxfordshire, died shortly before 3 May, 9 Edward IV [1469] when a writ of diem clausit extremum was issued(Calendar of Fine rolls: Edward IV & Henry VI, 1461-1471, 20:246). He acquired the manor of Tew Magna, or Great Tew, in Oxfordshire through marriage with Elizabeth Wilcotes, daughter and co-heiress of John Wilcotes Wilcotes of Tew Magna by his second wife Elizabeth Cheney. Elizabeth Wilcotes, aged nine in 1422 according to her father's inquisition post mortem, received the manor of Tew Magna by her father's will of 11 April 1422, and through her mother provides Raynsford descendants with lines to such pre-Conquest worthies as William de Mandeville, William de Say, and Hugh Maminot.
     
     
      Proof of the claim that Henry Raynsford was "of Rainsford Hall, Lancashire" has not been seen. He is probably the man who, with others exchanged London properties on 25 April and 26 May, 17 Henry VI [1439] and on 14 December, 19 Henry VI [1440] (Calendar of Close rolls: Henry VI, 1435-1441, 3:259, 260, 267, 445). On 16 April 1442 a complaint of intrusion against Henry Reynford was brought by John, Earl of Huntingdon; Thomas Grey, Knight; Thomas Catworth and Thomas Knolles, grocers; Thomas Mulso, esquire; and Thomas Bevys, gentleman, touching their free tenement in the parish of St. Martin in the Vintry, London (Calendar of Plea and Memoranda Rolls preserved among the archives of the corporation of the City of London at the Guildhall, AD 1437-1457, ed. Philip E. Jones, p. 46 "Roll A69"). Henry Raynsford was among those receiving lands from Thomas Middleton on 22 April 1448 and who on the same date granted william Melborn and William Brown a charter with warranty, of all his lands, rents, services, etc., in the town and fields of Hadlegh Castle, co. Essex, which he had by demise and ferffment of Thomas Burgoyn and of John Wade, citizen and grocer of London (Calendar of Close Rolls: Henry VI, 5:51, 67). On 1 July, 3 Edward IV [1463] Henry Reynford, Richard Quartermayns, William Marmyon, Richard Danvers, and Thomas Stonour received commissions of justice of peace for Oxfordshire.
