The mansion of Mayplace (in Crayford, Kent) and Ellam, was purchased by Nathaniel Elwick, Esq. who reserving to himself a life estate, settled them on his only daughter and heir, Elizabeth Elwick, on her marriage in 1745, with Miles Barne, Esq. of Sotterley, in Suffolk. She died in 1747, in her father's life time, leaving one son, Miles Barne, and a daughter, Elizabeth Elwick Barne. Nathaniel Elwick died in 1750, and lies buried in a vault in Crayford Church, with his daughter before-mentioned. On his death Crayford manor, with Mayplace and Ellam, by virtue of the before-mentioned settlement, came to Miles Barne of Sotterly, whose grandson Miles Barne of that place, and member of parliament in the last parliament for Dunwich, (the father of Snowden Barne now (1797) member for that borough) is the present (1797) possessor of Crayford estate.
