Northumberland / Re: Crazy John (Jack) Hall
« on: Tuesday 23 August 11 10:51 BST (UK)  »
An older Otterburn Hall existed at least as early as 1777. At that time, the Hugh Percy, 2nd Duke of Northumberland asked the hall's owner, Henry Ellison, for permission to erect a monument on the field to honor his ancestor who died during the Battle of Otterburn. Ellison denied the request and raised a monument himself which included an obelisk, possibly an architrave removed from Otterburn Hall's kitchen fireplace, which was placed into a socketed battle stone.

Father's name John also.  Lived at Otterburn Hall.  Was a magistrate.  Was executed at Tyburn, London 13 Jul 1716, during the First Scottish Uprising.  Would appreciate information on his family - wife, name unknown (possibly Hutchison???) and son named Robert, born 1700, died 1780.   Much appreciated.
