Notes for EMMANUEL DOWNING:

[Tyler, William Seymour D.D.,LL.D. with genealogy history written by Cornelius B. Tyler, Autobiography of W S Tyler, DD,LLD,  (Privately Printed, Massachusetts, 1912), page 302.]

"Emmanuel Downing is called by Savage 'a lawyer of the Inner Temple, inhabitant of the parish of St. Michael, Comhill Ward.'"

"He was proposed for assistant, but not chosen."

Ibid., pages 302 and 303

"The 'Geneaology of the Downing Family, 1509-1901,' says Emmanuel, was the son of Calybut3 Downing (Arthur2 Geoffrey1), and so descended from the Wingfields, Cecils, Calybuts and Plantagenets. Burke's Peerage makes this same mistake.  Emmanuel3 Downing of the Inner Temple, Gent, was baptised at St. Lawrence, Ipswich, August 12, 1585, was of Salem, Mass., 1638 to 1654, and afterwards of London and Edinburgh, where he died about 1660 (not in 1676 in America). His father, George2 Downing, Master of the Grammar School at Ipswich, 1607-1610, entered Queens College, Cambridge, 1569. His will, dated January 14, 1610, was proved October 3, 1610, by his daughter Nahomie. (Arch. Suff.) His father, George1 Downing, was of Beccles County, Suffolk. His will (P. C. C. 20 Stevenson, December 15, 1561) was probated June 26, 1564, by the widow Cicely, who was mentioned in it. It makes provision for his son George2 being sent to school and university."
