 Includes NotesNotes for Henry De Deighton:
Henry was admitted a freeman in 1504. By occupation, he was a "dyer." In 1522, he was made City Chamberlain of York. This was the officer to whom all the city revenues were paid. He was elected Sheriff 1524-5, Alderman 1525-1551. The position of Alderman at that time, was to all intents and purposes (says Bacon) "that of a senator or governor." Henry was made Lord Mayor of York in 1531. He was twice married and we are descended from the son of the second wife Alice, who at the time of her marriage to Henry was the widow of Robert Petty, an Alderman. Henry died in September 1540, and in his will he directed that "he should be buried in All Saints on North State Street."
