PREFACE.
THE First Volume of this Work is now completed, and an opinion may be
formed of a project, which was deemed at its announcement so beset by
difficulties, as to hold out little hope of a successful issue. Those difficulties.
have however passed away-the completion of the first volume is accomplished,
and nothing formidable remains to impede the progress of the second. In
these pages will be found the lineage of nearly four hundred families, enjoying
in the aggregate probably a revenue of two millions sterling, and deriving,
many of them, their territorial possessions from WILLIAM OF NORMANDY;
invested however with no exclusive rank-designated by no exclusive title
-and born to no exclusive privilege. To this grade in her social system-
her independent country gentlemen-England is mainly indebted for her
greatness abroad, and her prosperity at home. In this and her free insti-
tutions, she differs from every other country in Europe.
It was the Author's intention to acknowledge his obligations to his principal
correspondents individually; but, on referring to the list, he finds it so extensive,
that it would be entirely out of place to present such a catalogue here. He
begs of them, nevertheless, to be assured that he entertains the strongest
sense of the great and valuable assistance he has received. Indeed he is con-
vinced that, could he adhere to his original determination, he should by simply
so doing propitiate a more than ordinary degree of favor. He cannot, how-
ever, forbear recording the debt he owes to Sir David William Smith, bart.
of Alnwick; to William Henry Allan, esq. of Durham; to Michael Jones,

The following extract from ORDERICUS
VITALIS (who wrote nearly 600 years ago a
History of Normandy, published by Mon-
sieur du Chesne) may throw some light on
the origin of the great house of BASKER-
VILLE.
|
"Baldricus Teutonicus married the
daughter of Richard surnamed de Bene-
facta, Lord of Clare and Tunbridge in Eng-
land, by Roesia, his wife, sister to Walter
Giffard, the second Earl of Buckingham after
the Conquest, and daughter of Walter Gif-
fard, Count of Longueville, in Normandy,
and first Earl of Buckingham in England,
who was son of Osborne de Bolebec by
Avelina his wife, sister to Gunnora, wife
of Richard, the first of that name, Duke of
Normandy. Baldrick by his said wife had
six sons and as many daughters; the sons
were NICHOLAS DE BASCHEVILLA, now Bac-
queville; Fulke de Anjou; Robert de
Courcy; Richard de Nova Villa or Nevill;
Baldrick de Balgenzais, now Beangeney or
Boysgeney; and Wigenus, or Wigman of
Apulia. NICHOLAS, the eldest, married one
of the Dutchess Gunnora's nieces, and by
her had two sons, William Martell and
Walter de St. Martin, who were ancestors
of the Warrens, Earls of Warren and
Surrey, and of the Mortimers, Earls of
March, &c. &c."

family of Taylor, they acquired the estate
of RowENLANDS, to which they removed
between the years 1652 and 1657, and they
continued to abide there until 1803, when
in consequence of the demise issueless of
the elder brother, the property passed to
William Russell, esq. of Brancepeth Castle,
who having himself realised a very con-
siderable fortune in the county of Durham,
the possession of R. Postlewaite, esq. of
alienated the acquisition, and it is now in
Braughton in Furness.
Unfortunately the early registers are so
defective, that no very continuous pedigree
can be made out before the year 1598, and
the baptismal records commence with 1600.

WILLIAM RUSSELL, esq. of Brancepeth
Castle (as stated in the body of the work).
This gentleman, who sold the estate of Row-
enlands, was distinguished for liberality and
Among many similar in-
stances may be mentioned an hospital at
Cornsay in the county of Durham, which he
built and endowed, for a considerable num-
ber of aged and infirm persons of both
sexes, with a chapel for divine service, and
a school attached for a large establishment
of boys and girls. During the war in 1803,
he raised a corps of volunteer infantry, con-
sisting of two full companies, which he
armed, clothed, and completely equipped
at his own expense; he was also chiefly
instrumental in raising the Usworth troop
of yeomanry cavalry, and in the distresses
on the termination of the war, he received
and maintained the poor, coming from all
quarters, in barracks constructed for the
purpose, where every comfort was provided,
while he kept alive their habits of industry,
by engaging such as were able in various
works on his extensive estates. Mr. Rus-
sell was s. at his decease by his son,
MATTHEW RUSSELL, esq. of Brancepeth
Castle, vice-lieutenant for the county of
Durham (as stated in the body of the work).
On leaving Trinity College, Oxford, this
gentleman accepted a company in the Dur-
ham militia, and was subsequently major of
the regiment. In 1801 he was returned
member for Saltash (one of his father's
boroughs) and continued to serve in parlia-
ment until his death in London, 8th May,
1822. He rebuilt the greater part of
Brancepeth Castle, and it is now one of
the most noble edifices in the north of Eng-
land. Probably few individuals have ever
been so justly, deeply, and universally
lamented. Mr. Russell's only son and suc-
cessor, the present WILLIAM RUSSELL, esq. of
Brancepeth Castle, also vice-lieutenant of
the county Palatinate, was returned in two
successive parliaments for the county of
Durham, and proved himself a zealous and
disinterested promoter of the reform, by
the patriotic gift of his boroughs of Bletchi-
inglye and Saltash, consisting of three seats.
Estates.--Brancepeth, Brandon, Hard-
wicke, Willington, Westparks, Newton,
Newton-cap, Blakestone, Fulthorpe, and
Thwaites, in the county of Durham, and
Baysdale in the county of York.

ish house, (who was the first to write his
name FLOOD), rose high in favour with
King JAMES, and had several grants of lands
in divers parts of the kingdom. He styled
himself in writing "Flood," while the other
branches were written Fludds. Hence de-

father's loyalty, permitted Hilhom House
to fall into decay, and took up his residence

April, 1685, was buried at Cockerham, being
succeeded by his eldest surviving son,
Richard PrestoN, esq. of Hilhom House
and Ellel, in Cockerham, who was born 17th
September, 1661. This gentleman, by his
extravagant mode of living, and an unfor-
tunate propensity for play, had early in life
incurred considerable debts. Fortunately,
however, he had married in his father's
lifetime Dorothy, daughter of Robert Den-
nis, esq. of Gloucestershire, upon which
event all the property which was not under
mortgage was put into settlement. By her
he had issue one surviving child,
1. John, born in October, 1690.
Shortly after succeeding his father, Mr.
Preston's debts and the old charges upon
the property pressed so heavily upon him,
that he was obliged to dispose of every thing
that was not included in the settlements; and
from this time he lived at Cockerham in
great retirement until the year 1695, when
succeeding in right of his wife to a consi-
derable fortune, he again resumed his for-
mer habits, and within two years he had dis-
sipated every shilling. His wife did not
long survive, dying when her son was seven
years of age. Mr. Preston then sold his
life interest in his Lancashire estate and
went to reside in Ireland, where he married
Mary, relict of Mr. Dennis, and daughter
and co-heir of Mr. Henry Hastings, of Dub-
lin, by whom he had issue, (with two sons
who died young),

7th Hussars, and served with that regiment
in the Peninsula.

Lineage.
The extreme ancestor of the family of
CRAWFURD in Scotland, as shewn in vol. ii.
p. xiv. was REGINALD, apparently fourth
and youngest son of ALAN, fourth Earl of
Richmond, who died in 1146. He seems to
have accompanied DAVID I. to the North,

invaders, or of the people by whom the sub-
version of the Celtic race in the Lowlands

The first settler and founder of the family
does not appear to have assumed his name
from his lands. He probably died previous to
the general introduction of that practice, as
prior to 1161, or during the incumbency of
Arnot, abbot of Kelso, John de Crawfurd,
his son, witnesses deeds in the Chartulary of
that monastery along with Baldwin de Big-
gar, ancestor to the Earls of Wigton, and
he is therein styled step son to Baldwin.
Where this John established his residence
was termed, says Chalmers, "Villum Jo-
hannis Privigni Baldwini ;" and the cir-
cumjacent village that arose John's-town;
this portion of the barony constituting the
parish of Crawfurd-John, in contradistinc-
tion to Crawfurd proper, inherited by his
elder brother. "From the elder branch,"
(observes George Crawfurd the genealogist,
quoting the learned professor Thomas Craw-
furd's MSS.) came heirs female - but
another part of the barony remained with
the heirs male (descended from Reginald),
from whom derived the CRAWFURDS, of Low-
don; and from John, his (Reginald's) son,
came the designation of Crawfurd-John."

Between those two females the territory of
Crawfurd proper went; styled afterwards
Crawfurd-Dowglas and, Crawfurd-Lind-
say.‡
We now revert to JOHN Privigni Bald-
wini, the second son of Reginald, the first
settler, and younger brother or uncle to
Dominus Galfredus above-designated of
CRAWFURD-JOHN. From him descended his
son or grandson,
SIR REGINALD DE CRAWFURD, a personage
of great eminence, who espoused cir. an.

Lowdon, in Ayrshire, (which afterwards
gave the title of Earl to its possessors) and
he became the first Vicecomes or high She-

the county, the office being made hereditary
in his family. He died in 1226, when he
was succeeded by his son,

connexion with the then and last Earl of
Richmond of that line, Reginald's elder bro-

GALFREDUS, who died in 1202, who left an
only son,
JOHN DE CRAWFURD Miles, who dying in
1248, was buried in Melrose Abbey, and
his estates divided between his two daugh-
ters and co-heiresses; the elder marrying

John de Crawfurd, of Crawfurd-John, being
the earliest bearing the name that Chalmers had
met with (see Vol. III. Caledonia); he appears to
consider his barony as that that was divided be-
tween co-heiresses. But this is contradicted by
so many old authorities, and by a note even in his
first volume, which he appears to have overlooked
as to neutralize this opinion--for he shows in that
note, from one of the Douglas' charters, within a
year of the demise of Sir John Crawfurd, his
father-in-law, that he, Dowglas, was then dis-
puting his boundary with John de Crawfurd,-
which sufficiently proved the then existence of
heirs male to a certain portion of the territory of
Crawfurd, after the dismemberment, as above, of
the principal domain: in fact, it proved the in-
tegrity of the Crawfurd-John Barony as it long
after remained; becoming first the patrimony of
the first Reginald of Lowdon's second son John,
and going subsequently by female to the family of
Barkley, of Kilbirnie, and others.

was among the first of his countrymen who
joined Sir William Wallace, and was with
him in all the dangers to which he was ex-

to Bruce when he set about recovering the
lost liberties of his country. But being

they were all three sent prisoners to Lon-

to their merit or quality; which lays a great
load on the memory of that king (Edward)
who could destroy and cut off such men,
whose only crime was their strenuous sup-
port of the liberty of their country. He

his son,†
REGINALD CRAWFURD, of Crosby, who ob-

CHINAMES, in Renfrewshire, for his services
to Robert Bruce, as well as an augmenta-
tion to his arms of two lances in saltire,
commemorative of his exploits at Bannock-
burn. To him succeeded his son,
REGINALD CRAWFURD, of Auchinames‡
and Crosby, whose name appears prefixed
as a witness to a charter by Robert, the
high steward, in 1358. His son and suc-
cessor,
THOMAS CRAWFURD, § of Auchinames, is
mentioned by Crawfurd, in his History of
Renfrewshire, in which he relates the sub-
stance of a mortification to the church of
Kilbarchan, dated 1401, for a monk to say
mass for the salvation of his soul, and his
wife's, and his father's, and mother's, and
for the soul of Reginald Crawfurd, his
grandfather. He wedded the daughter and

* Although the parish registers do not extend
sufficiently back to show by record of marriage
how this property was acquired, that is shown by
the following documents. There is upon record
a process which attests the grandmother of Robert
Crawford, portioner of Groateholme below, (the
grandson of Robert and Christian Crawfurd), to
have been the proprietress (heiress) of Nether-
mains. And from the registry of Sasins and
Retours, it is clearly established that there was no
heiress or female proprietor during the seven-
teenth century, except Christian Brown its first,
and Agnes Crawfurd this Robert of Groate-
holme's cousin-german, its last proprietrix. In
the registry of Sasins, An. 1649, there appears the
deed of resignation to his daughter, by Robert
Brown, of Moat, Burrowlands and Nethermains,
"of all the lands antiqui extentus of Nethermains,
Kilwinning, in favour of Robert Crawfurd and
Christian Brown, his spouse and their heirs," &c.
This shows the property came by female, and who

except Robert or Captain Robert Crawfurd and
his three immediate successors and descendants.

point, continued by parish registers and other
documents corroborative of entries of baptisms in

styled in the MSS., the same as in Retour, now in

PATRICK CRAWFURD, esq. of Nethermains,
who had an only daughter AGNES, who
wedded in 1709, John Boyd, esq. of Crane-
berry Moss, and appears to have alienated
Nethermains to a family of the name of
Glasgow. Her retour, dated 1723, calls her
nearest heir to her grandfather, Captain
Robert Crawfurd, who was "tertius legiti-

and Winifred, his wife, daughter, and one of

age sent to the grammar-school at Norwich,
whence he removed to Trinity College, Cam-
bridge, where he studied for four years, and
was in some years afterwards chosen high-
steward of that university. From Cambridge
he removed to Clifford's-Inn, and, the year
after, he was entered a student in the Inner-
Temple, whence he was called to the bar,
and being chosen reader in Lyon's-Inn, ac-
quired so much celebrity, that he very soon

Sir William Paston, of Paston, with whom,
he acquired a fortune of thirty thousand
pounds. An alliance, too, that brought him
honours and preferments as well as wealth.
The cities of Coventry and Norwich soon
after elected him their recorder. The county
of Norfolk returned him to parliament, and
the House of Commons placed him in the
speaker's chair. In the 35th of Elizabeth
(1592), Mr. Coke was appointed Solicitor,
and the next year Attorney-general. In 1603
he received the honour of knighthood from
King James I. at Greenwich, and in three
years afterwards was elevated to the bench
as chief of the court of Common Pleas, from
which he was advanced, in 1613, to the dig-
nity of CHIEF JUSTICE OF ENGLAND (being
the last person who bore that title), and
sworn of the privy council. His lordship
incurred subsequently, however, the displea-
sure of the court; and while in disgrace,
hearing that a noble lord had solicited from
the crown a portion of the lands belonging
to the church at Norwich, which he had re-
covered, and settled thereon, he cautioned
the peer to desist, or that he would resume
his gown and cap, and come into Westmin-
ster Hall once again, to plead the cause of
the church. Between his paternal property,
the great marriage portion he had with his
wife, and his valuable offices and lucrative
practice at the bar, Sir Edward Coke realized
an estate so ample, that each of his sons pos-
sessed a fortune equal to that of an elder
brother. Camden, in his Britannia, says,
"that he was a person of admirable parts,
than whom, as none ever applied himself
closer to the study of the law, so never did
any one understand it better. Of which he
fully convinced England, by his excellent
administration for many years together,
whilst attorney-general, and by executing
the office of Lord Chief Justice of the Com-
mon Pleas with the greatest wisdom and pru-
dence; nor did he give less proof of his
abilities in his excellent Reports, and Com-
mentaries upon our Laws, whereby he has
highly obliged both his own age and poste-
rity." His lordship d. 3rd September, 1633,
at the advanced age of eighty-three. A no-
ble monument was erected to his memory at

and devoted loyalist, suffered severely for
his attachment to the STUARTS. He was
several times imprisoned, and had his lands
confiscated. Upon the restoration, how-
ever, he obtained restitution, and was ap-
pointed by the king governor of Chester
Castle. In Pennant's Wales is recorded a
gallant exploit of this stout cavalier. During
the battle between Poyntz and Sir Marma-
duke Langdale, on Rowton Heath, Colonel
Shakerley was commissioned to carry the
intelligence of an advantage of the Royalists
to the king, in Chester, then beleaguered, and
to avoid a troublesome circuit, he crossed
the Dee in a tub, his horse swimming at the
side; and offered to carry back the king's
commands in a quarter of an hour, in the
same manner. CHARLES delayed, Poyntz
rallied, and the royal cavalry were des-
troyed, which put an end to his Majesty's
project of joining Montrose, who was then
in force in Scotland. Sir Geoffrey espoused
first, Katherine, daughter of William Pen-
nington, esq. of Muncaster, in the county
of Cumberland, by whom (who d. 4th April,

CONGREVE, WILLIAM, esq. of Aldermanston, in the county of Berks, and of

William Pepperrell, bart.
Lineage.
This family, one of the most eminent in
the county of Stafford, was settled at CON-
GREVE Soon after the CONQUEST, and thence
derived its surname.
RICHARD CONGREVE, esq. of Congreve and
Stretton, was one of the thirteen Staffordshire
gentlemen upon whom King CHARLES II. in-
tended to have conferred the order of the
royal oak, were the institution of such a
degree of knighthood persevered in. He
m. Anne, daughter of Sir Thomas Fitz-Her-
bert, of Norbury, and grandaughter of Sir
Anthony Fitz-Herbert, the eminent judge,
by whom he had two sons,
1. JOHN, his successor.
2. William, a colonel in the army,
father of
WILLIAM CONGREVE, the celebrated
DRAMATIST, b. in 1672.
This distinguished person is
spoken of in terms of admiration
by every English writer who has
had occasion to mention his name.
Steele made him the patron of his
Miscellany, and Pope inscribed
to him the translation of the
ILIAD. Placed by circumstances
beyond the pecuniary anxieties
of an author's profession, he is
said to have affected contempt
for the profession itself. The
anecdote of his telling VOLTAIRE
when he came to visit him, that
he desired to be considered as a
gentleman SOLELY, and not in the
light of an author, is one of the
mortifying proofs that the highest
gifted minds are not always the
strongest. The latter years of
Congreve's life were rendered
miserable by sickness and in-
firmity. Catarrhs in his eyes
produced at length total blind-
ness, and repeated attacks of
gout prematurely undermined his

constitution. He sought relief of Boycot, in the county of Salop, and had
from the waters at Bath, but the
accident of being overturned in
his carriage, left a permanent
pain in his side, and, probably,
accelerated his death, which oc-
curred in January, 1729, in the
sixtieth year of his age. The re-
mains of the poet were interred
with great solemnity in West-
minster Abbey, and Henrietta,
Duchess of Marlborough, erected
a monument to his memory. To
this lady, who is said to have en-
tertained a most romantic regard
for him, he bequeathed the great
bulk of his fortune. Congreve's
occasional poems are so far be-
low mediocrity, that we have not
deemed it necessary at all to al-
lude to them. As a dramatist,
his fame is imperishable, and he
stands, if not at the head, in the
very first class of writers of co-
medy. Not so much, however,

The eldest son,
ancestor to Sir William Congreve, bt.
for his humorous and natural
portraits, as for those of eccen-
tricity. His wit, indeed, flashes
upon us almost to annoyance,
and it is often difficult to distin-
,guish the false humour of his
fools from the genuine sallies of
his lively characters. We shall
conclude these observations with
Congreve's literary character,
from the pen of Doctor JOHN-
SON. “Congreve has merit of
the highest kind; he is an
original writer, who borrowed
neither the model of his plot,
nor the manner of his dialogue.
He formed a peculiar idea of
comic excellence, which he sup-
posed to consist of gay remarks
and unexpected answers, but that
which he endeavoured he seldom
failed of performing. His scenes
exhibit not much of imagery or
passion; his personages are a
kind of intellectual gladiators—
every sentence is to ward or
strike; but they are the work of
a mind replete with images, and
quick in combination."
Mr. Congreve was s. by his elder son,
JOHN CONGREVE, esq. of Congreve and
Stretton, m. Mary, dau. of T. Nichols, esq.
JOHN CONGREVE, esq. of Congreve and

BASTARD, OF KITLEY.
BASTARD, EDMUND-POLLEXFEN, esq. of Kitley, Devonshire, b. 12th July,
1784, m. 22nd Jan. 1824, the Hon. Anne-Jane Rodney,
only surviving dau. of George, second Baron Rodney, of
Rodney Stoke, (by Anne, dau. and co-heiress of the Rt.
Hon. Thomas Harley, of Berrington, in the county of
Hereford,) and has (by her, who d. in 1833,) three sons,
EDMUND-RODNey-Pollexfen, b. 7th September, 1825.
Baldwin-John-Pollexfen, b. 11th March, 1830.
William-Pollexfen, b. 12th January, 1832.
Mr. Bastard, who represented the county of Devon in
several parliaments, succeeded to the estates upon the
demise of his father, in 1816.

Lineage.
The family of BASTARD has been seated in
Devonshire ever since the CONQUEST. Robert
Bastard appears in Domesday Book to have
had grants of Efford Meavy, Stonehouse,
Blackford, Badestone, Haraldesore, Cumbe,
Dunestantone, and Bicheford, all in the
county of Devon. His descendants have
intermarried with the heiresses of Crispin
and of Killiowe, in the county of Cornwall, and
into the families of Fitz-Stephen, Besilles,
Damarell, Gilbert, Reynell, Hele, and Bamp-
fylde, and have at different periods served
as sheriffs of the county. Their seat for
many generations was at Garston, near
Kingsbridge, until about the end of the se-
venteenth century.
WILLIAM BASTARD, esq. by marriage with
the heiress of Pollexfen, of Kitley, acquired
that estate, which has since been the family
residence. His son,
POLLEXFEN BASTARD, esq. of Kitley, m.
Lady Bridget Poulett, daughter of John, first
Earl Poulett, and was s. at his decease in
1733, by his eldest son,
WILLIAM BASTARD, esq. of Kitley. In
1779, a powerful French fleet appearing in
the Channel, great alarm was excited for
the safety of the Dock Yard and Arsenal at
Plymouth, on account of a large number of
French prisoners confined there, for the re-
moval of whom no troops could be spared
from the garrison, already insufficient for
the defence of the place. Mr. Bastard, as
a reward for his services in conducting these
prisoners to Exeter, assisted only by the
gentry and peasantry of the neighbourhood
whom he had collected on the occasion, was
created a baronet by his late Majesty. The
title was gazetted in 1779, but has never been
assumed. He m. Ann, daughter of Thomas
Worsley, esq. of Hovingham, in the county
of York, and had issue,
JOHN-POLLEXFEN, his successor.
EDMUND, who inherited the estates, upon
his brother's decease.
Mr. Bastard was s. at his decease, in 1782,
by his elder son,
JOHN-POLLEXFEN BASTARD, esq. who was
elected in 1784 member for Devon, which
county he continued to represent until his
death. Hem. Sarah, widow of - Wymonde-
sold, esq. of Lockinge, in the county of Berks,
by whom he acquired the estates belonging
to that family, but dying without issue in
1816, he was s. by his brother,

heiress of Captain Pownoll, R. N. of Sharp-

Having one day lente HENRY VIII.

having powdered eremites on the
seale, why how now, Wise, quoth the
king, what, hast thou lice here? And
if it like your majestie, quoth Sir
William, a louse is a rich coate, for by
giving the louse, I part names with
the French king, in that he giveth
the floure de lice. Whereat the king
laughed heartily to heare how pret-
tily so byting a taunt (namely proceed-
ing from a king) was so daintily
turned to so pleasante a conceite."

for his proceedings: and to render
John Charlton and his wife more
secure in their title, they had a royal

Lineage.
This family has been for several centuries
resident, and possessed of lands, in the west
of England. According to Risdon and other
antiquaries, the Lady Alice Pole, in the
reign of Henry III. gave the manor and cas-
tle of Compton, in Devonshire, "to one of
the family of Peter, whose posterity after-
wards took the name of the place." Another
branch settled at Torr-Newton, in the adja-
cent parish of Torr-Brian, of which was,
JOHN PEETER or PETRE, who lived in the
reigns of Richard II. and Henry IV. By
his wife Alice he left issue two sons,
1. JOHN, his successor.
2. Nicholas, who succeeded to his mo-
ther's estates in Dorsetshire, and re-
siding at Bakebeare, in that county,
was M. P. for Shaftesbury in the 28th
of Henry VI. and d. s. p.
JOHN PETER, the elder brother, inherited

his father's estates in Devonshire, and left
issue by his wife, a son named
WILLIAM PETER, who, as it appears from
an inquisition taken in the 12th of Edward
IV. was seised of Torr-Newton, Bakebeare,
and other lands in the counties of Devon,
Dorset, and Hants, and was at that time
twenty-four years of age. By his wife
Joan, he had several children, among whom
were
1. John, who inherited Torr-Newton
and other estates in Devon, and who,
by Alice, daughter of John Collins,
esq. of Woodlands, in the same coun-
ty, was father of Sir William Peter
or Petre, principal secretary of state
in the reigns of HENRY VIII., EDWARD
VI., MARY, and ELIZABETH, and an-
cestor of the Lords PETRE, of Writ-
tle, in the county of Essex.
2. WILLIAM.
WILLIAM PETER, the younger son, suc-
ceeded to his father's estates at Milton in
Hampshire, and Bakebeare in Dorsetshire,
and further increased his patrimony by his
marriage with Joan, the only daughter of
Sir Roger Arundel, of Calwoodley, in the
county of Devon, by which lady he had
issue three sons,
1. Roger, who d. young.
2. William, who succeeded his father,
but d. s. p. in the 37th Henry VIII.
3. JOHN.
The third son,
JOHN PETER, resided at Bowhay, near
Exeter, and was one of the representatives
of that city in the first parliament of PHILIP
and MARY. He married his cousin Wilmot,
daughter of John Peter, esq. of Torr-New-
ton, and sister to Sir William Petre, and died
in 1579, at a very advanced age, leaving a
numerous progeny of sons and daughters,
amongst whom were
1. John, who was M. P. for Dartmouth
in the 1st of PHILIP and MARY (the
same parliament in which his father
represented Exeter), and d. s. p. in
the life-time of his father.
2. Otho, who succeeded his father in his
Devonshire estates, and was seated at
Bowhay.*

father had made gift of divers lands in Corn-
wall (which lands had been acquired by Wil-
liam Peter in marriage with Joan Arundel),
espoused Agnes, daughter of Thomas Godol-
phin, esq.† (by his second wife, a daughter
of Granville), and was s. by his eldest son,
ROBERT PETER, esq. who was bred a sol-
dier, and served with credit under Sir Ed-
ward Poynings at Havre, and in the Low
Countries. In the 13th of Elizabeth he was
M: P. for Fowey, in the 14th, for Penryn,
and in the 28th of the same reign, for Dart-
mouth. Hem. Thomasine, daughter of John

Upon Otho Peter (a member of this branch of

DYMOKE, OF SCRIVELSBY.
The King's Champion.
DYMOKE, HENRY, Esq. of Scrivelsby Court, in the county of Lincoln, The Honor-
able THE KING'S CHAMPION, b. 5th March, 1801; suc-
ceeded to the estates and the hereditary championship at
the decease of his father, the Reverend John Dymoke, on
the 3rd Dec. 1828, having previously executed the official
duties of champion as deputy for that gentleman at the co-

EMMA-JANE, b. 11th February, 1826.
This gentleman is the seventeenth of his family who has
inherited the ancient office of CHAMPION.

Lineage.
This family ranks in point of antiquity,
male and female, with the most ancient in
the kingdom. It derives the singular office
of CHAMPION from the celebrated baronial
house of MARMYUN, or MARMYON, with the
feudal MANOR OF SCRIVELSBY, to which the
championship is attached.

friends in the house arose; and, finding him

former possessions. Furthermore, that hav-
ing so done, his pain ceased; and that in ac-

serjeanty, "to perform the office of cham- | the 33rd to the 36th of Henry III.--in the
pion at the king's coronation," (the Mar-
mions, it is said, were hereditary champions
to the Dukes of Normandy, prior to the con-
quest of England). Robert Marmion was
succeeded at his decease by his son and
heir,
ROBERT DE MARMYON, Lord of Fontney,
in Normandy, where he possessed a fortified
castle, which was besieged by Geoffrey, of
Anjou, in the 4th of King Stephen, and de-
molished. This Robert having a great enmity
to the Earl of Chester, who had a noble seat
at Coventry, entered the priory there in the
8th of Stephen, and, expelling the monks,
turned it into a fortification, digging at the
same time divers deep ditches in the adjacent
fields, which he caused to be covered over
with earth, in order to secure the approaches
thereto; but the Earl of Chester's forces
drawing near, as he rode out to reconnoitre,
he fell into one of those very ditches, and
broke his thigh, so that a common soldier,
presently seizing him, cut off his head. He
was s. by his son,
ROBERT DE MARMION, who, in the 31st
Henry II., being constituted sheriff of Wor-
cestershire, continued in that office until the
end of the four-and-thirtieth year of the
same reign. He was also justice itinerant
in Warwickshire, and some other counties,
and again sheriff of Worcestershire in the
1st of Richard I. In five years afterwards
he attended that monarch into Normandy,
and in the 15th of King John he was in the
expedition then made into Poictou. This
feudal lord died about the year 1217, leaving
issue, by different mothers,
ROBERT, his successor.
Robert, jun., who had the estate of Wi-
tringham and Coninsby, in the county
of Lincoln.
William, of Torington.
He was s. by his eldest son,
ROBERT DE MARMION, who appears to have
sided with the French, when they seized
upon Normandy in the beginning of King
John's reign, for the murder of Arthur, Duke
of Brittany; but afterwards to have made his
peace, for in the 5th of Henry III. he had
livery of Tamworth Castle and his father's
other lands. He is supposed to have re-
turned to Normandy in twelve years after-
wards, and to have died there in 1241, when
he was s. by his son,
PHILIP DE MARMION, who was sheriff for
the counties of Warwick and Leicester, from
latter of which years he was questioned for
sitting with Richard de Mundevill, and the
rest of the justices, for gaol delivery at War-
wick, having no commission so to do. The
next year he attended the king into Gascony;
upon his return whence he was taken pri-
soner by the French at Pontes, in Poictou,
with John de Plessets, then Earl of War-
wick, notwithstanding they had letters of
safe conduct from the king of France. In
the 45th of the same reign this feudal lord
had summons to be at London with divers of
the nobility, upon the morrow after Simon
and Jude's day; in which year the defection
of many of the barons began further to ma-
nifest itself, by their assuming the royal
prerogative, in placing sheriffs throughout
different shires. In this period of difficulty
Philip de Marmion, being of unimpeachable
loyalty, had, by special patent from the
king, the counties of Suffolk and Norfolk
committed to his custody, with the castles of
Norwich and Orford: a well-judged confi-
dence, for through all the subsequent for-
tunes of Henry III. he never once swerved
from his allegiance. He was present at the
battle of Lewes—and his fidelity was re-
warded after the royal victory of Evesham,
by some valuable grants for life, and the
governorship of Kenilworth Castle. He m.

worth Castle, viz.
"To ride completely armed upon a barbed horse
into Westminster Hall, and there to challenge the
combat with whomsoever should dare to oppose
the King's title to the crown."
Which service the Barons Marmyon, his ances-
tors, Lords of that castle, had theretofore per-
formed. But Sir John Dymoke counter-claimed
the same office as Lord of Scrivelsby. Whereupon
the constable and marshal of England appointed
the said Sir John Dymoke to perform the office at
that time.

* In July, 1814, Lewis Dymoke, esq. uncle of
the present champion, presented a petition to the
crown, praying to be declared entitled to the BA-
RONY OF MARMION, of Scrivelsby, in virtue of the
seisure of the manor of Scrivelsby; which peti-
tion was referred to the attorney-general, who
having reported thereon, the same was referred to
the House of Lords, where evidence was received
at the bar, and the claimant's counsel summoned
up, when the attorney-general was heard in reply,
and tendered some documents on the part of the
crown; but the claimant died before the judg-
ment of the house was given.
"With respect to this claim," says Nicolas,
"it is to be observed, that though the manor of
Scrivelsby was held by the service of perform-
ing the office of king's champion by Robert de
Marmyon, in the reign of William the Conqueror,
he was not by seisure thereof a baron, but by
seisure of the barony and castle of TAMWORTII,
which he held of the king in capite by knights'
service; so that, if at this period baronies by
tenure were admitted, the possessor of the manor
and lordship of Tamworth, (which in the division
of his property fell to the share of Joane, his eldest
daughter, wife of William Mosteyn, and on her
death s. p. to Alexander Freville, husband of
Joan, daughter and heir of Ralph Cromwell, by
Mazera, the next sister of the said Joan de Mos-
teyn,) would possess the claim to the barony en-
oyed by Robert de Marmyon, he having derived
his dignity from that barony instead of from the
seisure of the manor of Scrivelsby. Moreover, if
Philip Marmyon, the last baron, had died seised
of a barony in fee, Lewis Dymoke was not even
a co-heir of the said Philip, though he was the
descendant of one of his daughters and co-heirs."

Lineage.
The family of DE ANYERS, or DANIEL,
whence Mr. Willis derives in lineal des-
cent, accompanied WILLIAM the Conqueror
into England in 1066, and the name of its
patriarch is to be found inscribed on the roll
of Battel Abbey.* Owing, however, to the
destruction of deeds in the turbulent times
of CHARLES I. the lineage can only be traced
with accuracy from the year 1250.

Lichfield, 23rd HENRY VIII. when William
Daniell, of Longdon, in Staffordshire, who

were his great nephews, the
sons of Charles Ducken-
field, esq. of Mobberly, in
Cheshire, by whom the name
and arms of Daniell were
taken, the entail cut off, and
the estates sold. Thus the
surviving descendants of Sir
Samuel's great uncle, Co-
lonel William Daniell, were
deprived of their inherit-
ance, although Colonel Wil-

pair the injury the Tabley es-

Lineage.
The family of SHAFTO is of great antiquity
in the north of England. Some little inci-
dental proof of the rank which the old lords
of Shafto held on the border may be gathered
from song and tradition. At the "Raid of
the Redswire," in 1575, a hostile meeting
was,
"A
between the Scotch and English Wardens,
one of the war-cries of the latter
Schaftan and a Fenwick." The Scots had
the honour of the day, and amongst the
many English who were taken prisoners or
wounded,

he has no issue. Mr. Vavasour succeeded to the estates of his family, and the repre-

Lineage.

The eminent family of VAVASOR, or VAL-
VASOR (as Camden has it), derived their
name from their office, being formerly
king's valvasor, a degree then little inferior
to the baronial. There are," says Brac-
(6
ton, for the civil government of mankind,
emperors, kings, and princes, magnates or
VALVASORS, and knights."
SIR MAUGER LE VAVASOR is mentioned in
Doomsday Book, as holding in chief of the
Percys, Earls of Northumberland, consi-
derable manors and estates in Stutton, Esele-
wood, Saxall (Saxon), &c. He was father
of another
SIR MAUGER LE VAVASOR, father of
SIR WILLIAM LE VAVASOR, lord of Hasel-
wood, judge in the reign of Henry II. and
one of the witnesses to the charter of the
abbey of Sawley, in Yorkshire, refounded
by Matilda de Percy, Countess of Warwick.
To this abbey he himself also made a consi-
derable donation of land. He was s. by his
son,
SIR ROBERT LE VAVASOR, who in 21st
Henry III. was high-sheriff of Nottingham
and Derby; and from 31st of the same
reign having served for eight years succes-
sively. He had likewise the custody of the
honor of Peverell. He m. Julian, daughter
of Gilbert de Ross, of Steeton, by whom he
had issue,
1. JOHN (Sir), his successor.
2. Maude, m. to Theobald, brother of
Hubert, Archbishop of Canterbury,
from whom descended the family of
Butler, dukes, marquesses, and earls
of Ormonde; and from whom also
descended her majesty, Queen Eliza-
beth, by her grandfather, Sir Thomas
Boleyne, created Earl of Wiltshire
and Ormonde.
Sir Robert d. 38th Henry III. and was s. by
his son,
SIR JOHN LE VAVASOR, knt. Lord of Ha-
selwood, who gave to the abbot and convent
of Thornton, to the church and canons of St.
Peter in Howden, stone from his quarry in
Theves-dale (now called Jackdaw Cragg),
near Tadcaster, to build their churches, and
repair other edifices. He m. Alice, daughter
of Sir Robert Cockfield, knt. by whom he
had, with a younger son, MALGER, of whose
descendants we are about to treat,
Sir William le Vavasor, who s. his father
at Haselwood, which he had license
to castellate from King Edward I. in
whose reign he was employed in the
Gascoigne and Scotch wars; and was
so esteemed, that he had summons to
parliament among the barons, from
28th Edward I. to 6th of Edward II.
He gave to the archbishop and chap-
ter of York, from the abovementioned
quarry in Theves-dale, the stone of
which the noble edifice, the Minster
was erected. He also made and found-
ed St. Leonard's Chapel, in his castle
at Haselwood, which, on the foregoing

the archbishop: the king's charter for
the chapel is dated 29th April, 1286,
Edward I.: the confirmation is dated
5th June, 1452, being the 31st of Hen-
ry VI. Sir Thomas Vavasor, the
lineal descendant of this baron, so
distinguished himself, with others of
the nobility, by raising forces and
equipping vessels to defend Queen
Elizabeth against the Spanish arma-
da, that the queen, in reward of this
zeal, and out of particular regard for
one of her maids of honor, who was a
Vavasor, and acknowledged by her
majesty as her kinswoman, would
never suffer the chapel at Haselwood
to be molested, where the Roman ca-
tholic rites still continue to be cele-
brated. Lord Vavasor m. Nichola,
daughter of Sir Stephen Wallis, knt.
of Newton, by whom he had issue
three sons,

ward II. He married, and left
issue two daughters,
1. Elizabeth Vavasor, m. Sir
Robert Strelly, of Notting-
hamshire, in whose heirs it
is supposed this barony still
exists.
2. Ann.
Robert, Lord Vavasor, dying
without issue male, was s. at Ha-
selwood by his next brother,
11. Sir Henry le Vavasor (second
son of William, Baron Vavasor),
who was the direct ancestor of
Sir Thomas Vavasour, of Hasel-
wood Castle, who was created a
baronet in 1628, which dignity
expired with the late Sir Thomas
Vavasour, in 1826. The estates
at Haselwood, &c. devolved by
will upon his cousin, the Hon.
Edward Marmaduke Stourton,
(second son of Charles-Philip,
sixteenth Lord Stourton, by
Mary, daughter and co-heiress
of Marmaduke, fifth and last
Lord Langdale), who, changing
his name to Vavasour, and being
created a baronet, is the present

sour, of Haselwood, in the county
of York.

Lineage.
We shall begin the detail of this ancient
family with an extract from Nicholson and
Burn's History of the Antiquities of West-
morland and Cumberland.
zergh Hall, Charles Strickland, esq. we have
been enabled to make out a regular and au-
thentic deduction of this family from the
clearest and most undeniable evidence, viz.
the family writings."

The first of the name of Strickland met with
is in the reign of King JOHN, when Gilbert Fitz
Reinfred having been compelled, on account
of his involvement with the rebellious barons,
to give hostages for his future conduct, which
hostages were the sons, daughters, and heirs
of the principal mense lords holding under
the barons of Kendal, amongst whom was
the son and heir of SIR WALTER DE STIRK-
LAND. In the time of Hugh, bishop of Car-
lisle, who came to the see towards the be-

considerable possessions, as well as at Si- acres of land, in the territory of Stirkland

somewhat extraordinary, that amongst the
pedigrees of almost all the other ancient
families in this county we have met with no
satisfactory account of this family; but the
indulgence of the late worthy owner of Si-

* The eminent house of SWINBURNE is amongst the most ancient in the kingdom deriving from the
flower of the nobility of Europe, and bearing no less than eighty-six quarterings in its shield. It
enumerates as lineal progenitors, the early kings of France, many emperors, dukes of Normandy, the
Plantagenets, kings of England, the Percies, (including HOTSPUR) the Nevilles, all the Greys, the
Willoughbys D'Eresby, the Warrens, Howards, Cliffords, Vescis, Mortimers, Fitzhughs, Fitzalans,

The family of FITZ-HERBERT, whose
name appears in the Roll of Battle Abbey,
descends from a Norman knight, called
HERBERT, which in conformity to a preva-
lent custom amongst the Normans of des-
cribing themselves as the son of some emi-
nent ancestor, became the patronymic of
the family. In Latin, Filius Herberti; in
Norman, Fils, or Fitz-Herbert. In the
year 1125, (25th HENRY I.) William Prior,
of Tutbury, by his charter, attested by
Robert de Ferrers, Earl of Derby, the supe-
rior Lord of Tutbury, and his two sons,
Robert and William de Ferrers, Hawise, his
wife, the Bishop of Litchfield, Abbot of
Burton, and divers other distinguished per-
sons, granted to
WILLIAM FITZ-HERBERT, the manor of
Norbury, in the county of Derby. (The
original charter, with the manor, are in the
possession of the present Mr. Fitz-Herbert).
He was s. by his son,
WILLIAM FITZ-HERBERT, Lord of Nor-
bury, living in 1166, who was s. by his son,
JOHN FITZ-HERBERT, Lord of Norbury,
who was s. by his son, another
JOHN FITZ-HERBERT, of Norbury, who
was s. by his son,
SIR WILLIAM FITZ-HERBERT, of Nor-
bury, to whom King HENRY III. granted
Freewarren in Norbury, A.D. 1252. He

This eminent person was educated at Ox-
ford, and afterwards, studying the law, at-
tained the rank of serjeant, 18th November,

tuted one of the judges of the Common Pleas,
in which judicial station deporting himself
with great prudence, justice, and knowledge,
he became at length the oracle of the law,
and was universally esteemed a profound
lawyer. He was author of various works,
not only on law, but upon husbandry; some
of which are now exceedingly scarce. His
great work, De Natura Brevium, is praised
for its utility by Blackstone, who calls it,
"A digest of the most ancient and highly
venerable collection of forms, the register
of such writs as are suable out of the king's
courts; in which every man who is injured,
will be sure to find a method of relief exactly
adapted to his own case, described within
the compass of a few lines, and yet without
the omission of any material circumstance.”

FAMILY OF BASKERVILLE.
The BASKERVILLES of Erdesley (the name
of whose patriarch is to be found inscribed
on the roll at Battel Abbey) were for many
reigns champions to the kings of England,
and were sheriffs of the county of Hereford
twenty-one times.
Camden, in his Britannica, in the account
of Herefordshire, observes: “Erdesley,
where the famous and ancient family of
BASKERVILLE have long inhabited, which
bred in old time so many noble knights;
they deduce their original from a niece of
Gunora, that most celebrated Norman lady,
who long ago flourished in this county and
let of Lanton in capite, as of the honour of
its neighbour, Shropshire; and held the ham-
Montgomery by the service of giving the
king one barbed arrow as often as he came
into those parts to hunt in Cornedon Chase."

Lineage.

The family of BASKERVILLE is one of the
most ancient and honourable in England, its

The Baskervilles came into Hereford-
shire soon after the Conquest,* and settling
at Erdisley, became connected with the first
families of the county, served the office of
sheriff no less than twenty-one times, and
were elected knights of the shire in eleven
parliaments. Their pedigree has been au-
thentically deduced, and is duly registered
in the College of Arms.

EDWARD, b. September, 1822, d. 1825.
William, b. September 14th, 1829.
George-Edward, b. November 21st, 1831.
Mr. Stanley succeeded to his estates at the decease of his
father, November 17th, 1806.
He is a magistrate and deputy lieutenant of the county
of Cumberland, and was sheriff of that shire in 1823.
Lineage.
The Stanleys rank amongst the most an-
cient and influential families in the king-
dom. They were of consequence, says
Camden, half a century before the conquest,
and they have invariably held an eminent
place in history. The branch, of which we
are more immediately about to treat, has
been located in the north for several cen-
turies, and the most ancient of their estates
in Cumberland have descended through an
unbroken succession of father and son over
a period of not less than five hundred years,
to the present proprietor.
From
HENRY STANLEIGH DE STONELEY, who
lived forty years before the conquest, line-
ally descended
Sir William de STANLEY, who, espous-
ing Joan, eldest daughter and co-heir of Sir
Philip Baumville, Lord of Stourton, became
possessed of the manor and bailywick of
Wyrall Forest, and thereupon assumed the
armorial bearings since used by his des-
cendants, viz. three stags' heads on a bend.
By the heiress of Stourton he had, with
other issue, a son and successor,
JOHN STANLEIGH, Lord of Stanley and
Stourton, who m. Mabel, daughter of Sir
James Hawsket, knt. and had issue,
1. WILLIAM, who m. Margaret,
daughter and heiress of William
de Hooton, Lord of Hooton, in
Cheshire, and from this alliance

anno 1345. The lordship of Awsthwaite
was granted by Arthur Boyvill, in 1102, to
Adam de Awsthwaite, in whose family it
continued for 225 years, until the heiress
married with the Stanleys. In 1388, Ni-
cholas Stanleigh obtained by purchase, the
manor and demesne of Ponsonby. He was
s. by his son,
THOMAS STANLEIGH, Lord of Awsthwaite,
(in the records, called Stanlaw), living in
the reign of HENRY VI. who represented
the city of Carlisle in parliament.

Lineage.
This family, with the collateral branches
of Sir George Bromley and Lord Carring-
ton, derive immediately from Thomas Smith,
of Reyworth, in the county of Nottingham,
and of Gadesby, in Leicestershire, who was
a descendant of the Smiths, of Ashby Fol-
ville and Gadeshy, and from whom he in-
herited this latter property in 1699. The
Smiths of Ashby deduced their origin from
Sir Michael Carrington, standard-bearer to
King RICHARD I. in the Holy Land, one of
whose descendants changed his name to
SMYTH during the conflicts between the
houses of York and Lancaster, for purposes
of concealment, which surname remained
afterwards that of the family.

Lineage.
The township of MARPLE, or as it was
anciently written MERPULL, was granted by
deed without a date, by Randle, Earl of
Chester, to Robert, son of Robert de Stoke-
port, and conveyed by the said Robert to
his sister Margery, and her husband, WIL-
LIAM VERNON, chief justice of Chester. It
remained in the Vernon family until the
decease of Sir George Vernon, called the
King of the Peak, who left two daughters; |
one, Dorothy, m. to Sir John Manners, and
the other, MARGARET, m. to Thomas Stan-
ley, of Winwick. In the partition of the
lands of Sir George, Marple and Wybres-
legh, with other estates, devolved upon his
daughter, Margaret Stanley, and from the
Stanleys Marple came by purchase to the
Bradshawes.
HENRY BRADSHAWE, m. Elizabeth, daugh-
ter of Robert Eyre, and had, with an elder
son,
HENRY BRADSHAWE, who m. Margaret,

ISHERWOOD, OF MARPLE.
m. first, Mary, daughter of Bernard Wells,
of Hope, in Derbyshire, by whom he ac-
quired Wyberslegh Hall, and had issue,
HENRY, his successor.
Anne, of Peel, in Lancashire, d. in
1692.
He espoused, secondly, Anne, daughter of
George Bowden, esq. of Bowden, in the
county of Chester, and had several other
children. The name of this Henry Brad-
shawe is the first to the Cheshire petition,
addressed to the two houses of parliament,
6th July, 1646, praying for the establish-
ment of the presbyterian religion. He acted
as a magistrate under the parliamentarian
government, and had a commission in the
army, being major in Colonel Duken-
field's regiment, under the appointment of
Lord Fairfax, and he had also a lieuten-
ant-colonel's commission in Colonel Ash-
ton's regiment of foot. At a later period
he was nominated to the command of the
militia of Macclesfield Hundred, and was
at its head at the battle of Worcester, where
he
hẹ was wounded. In 1652, Colonel Brad-
shawe was one of the court martial which
sat on the trial of the Earl of Derby and
other royalists at Chester. In 1660, the
survivors of the persons who constituted
that court, including Bradshawe, were sum-
moned to appear before the lords' com-
mittee, appointed to consider of the privi-
leges of the peerage of this kingdom, to
whom the petition of the Countess of Derby
had been referred. On this occasion it
appears that Colonel Henry Bradshawe was
confined in the house of Thomas Lee, a
messenger of the black rod, from the 17th
July to the 14th August, 1660, on which
day the said Colonel Bradshawe, Henry
Bradshawe, of Gray's-inn, and Cromwell
Meverell, of Tideswell, in Derbyshire, were
bound in £500 to Alexander Thane, gentle-
man usher of the black rod, for the said
colonel's appearance. There were at Marple
several forms for an apology or answer of
Colonel Bradshawe to the charge against
him, the substance of all which amounted
to this :---" that being an officer under Ge-
neral Cromwell, he was by him commanded
to be present at a court martial at Chester,
for the trial of the Earl of Derby, and that
not knowing what danger he might incur if
he should absent himself, was sometimes,
though not constantly, present at the ma-
naging the said trial, but never subscribed
any warrant for the earl's execution: that
•
he knew not by what authority his lordship
was removed from Chester, but on the con-
trary laboured as much as he could to save
the earl's life, and at the instance of the
succeeding Earl of Derby, he presented a
petition to Colonel Macworth, president of
the court, for sparing the earl's life, and
did earnestly press it, and should not have
been present at the last court, but that he
had engaged himself to deliver that peti-
tion; that being sent for by the late earl he
did immediately attend him, and at his lord-
ship's desire wrote to his brother, John
Bradshawe, then president of the council of
state, to use his utmost endeavours for
sparing the earl's life; that he never had
any thing which belonged to the said earl,
his countess, or any of theirs: that he was
a poor man, indebted, with a small estate,
and a poor wife and eleven children, all
unprovided, to maintain. Wherefore, in-
tending for the future so to demean himself
as becomes an obedient subject, he humbly
craved the benefit of his majesty's most gra-
|cious pardon, and their lordship's favour-
able construction of the premises, and that
his errors might be imputed to his much
lamented ignorance and mistake.” Henry
Bradshawe obtained his release, as appears
by a receipt for £40, dated 14th August,
1660, and signed Alexander Thane, being
in full of fees due to him as usher of the
black rod, from Colonel Henrie Bradshawe
during his confinement; and by another
signed Cromwell Meverell, dated 23rd Fe-
bruary, 1660, for the colonel's pardon suing
out, and thirty shillings paid to the master
of the black rod as a gratuity on the deli-
very in of his bail book. On the 15th
March following the said Henry Bradshawe
was buried at Stockport: and was s. by his
son,

one of Cromwell's lords.
He was
also provost of Eton college. He d.
in the lifetime of the PROTECTOR,
and was honoured with public obse-
quies.*
5. Arthur.
*The following account of his funeral and cha-
racter is taken from the Mercurius Politicus, a
newspaper of the day: Monday, the 24th,
being the day appointed for the interment of the
corpse of the Right Hon. Francis, Lord Rouse, it
was performed in this manner: the lords of his
Highness's privy council met at his house at Ac-
ton, as also divers of the commissioners of the
admiralty, and of the officers of the army, with
many other persons of honour and quality. His
Highness was also pleased to send several of his
gentlemen in coaches with six horses to be pre-
sent at the solemnity; three heralds likewise, or
officers at arms, gave their attendance. The corpse
was placed in a carriage, covered with a pall of
black velvet, adorned with escocheons, and drawn
with six horses in mourning furniture. The lords
of the council followed it, and the rest, in their
order towards Eaton college, by Windsor, where
the deceased lord, having been provost, desired he
might be interred. A sermon was preached after
the burial by Mr. Oxenbridge, one of the fellows,
and so the ceremony ended. He needs no monu-
ment besides his own printed works to convey his
name to posterity; the other works of his life
be termed works of charity, wherein he was most
exemplary, as the poor in many parts now with
tears will tell you. He chose to lay his bones in
his college, because the society had his heart,
being men of the same Christian temper with
himself; and in his testament he prayed that God
would please to continue it (as it is) a famous
nursery of piety and learning. I shall add no
more but this, that his death was an extraordinary
loss to his Highness and good men in particular,
and the whole nation in general." Other his-
torians (Clarendon, Wood, &c.) give, however, a
very different character of this personage.

The eldest son,
THE RIGHT HON. WARDEN FLOOD, of
Flood Hall, was chief justice of the court of
King's Bench in Ireland. His lordship
espoused Miss Whiteside, and dying in 1764,
was s. by his son,
THE RIGHT HONORABLE
HENRY FLOOD, of Farmley, in the county
of Kilkenny. This eminent person, so cele-
brated in the eventful history of his native
country, was born in 1732, and educated
at Trinity College, Dublin, and at Christ
Church, Oxford. In the latter university
under the care of Mr. Markham, afterwards
archbishop of York. In 1759, Mr. Flood
obtained a seat in the Irish House of Com-
mons, but during that session took no part
in its debates. In 1761, he was re-elected,
and became almost immediately afterwards
leader of the opposition. The repeal of
POYNING'S LAW * first engaged his great
powers, and he ultimately succeeded in
having the obnoxious clauses of that statute
abrogated. His next patriotic effort was
the introduction of a bill for limiting the
duration of parliaments, which had previ-
ously subsisted in Ireland, for the life of the
king. This measure he advocated in vain
in the administrations of the lords lieute-
nant, Northumberland and Hertford; but
his perseverance and eloquence eventually
triumphed, and the OCTENNIAL BILL passed
Townshend. This was the first victory of
into a law under the government of Lord
importance achieved by the friends of free-
dom in Ireland :—within a very short period
the glorious and bloodless revolution of
1782 followed. In 1775, Mr. Flood was
sworn of the Privy Council in both king-
doms, and constituted Vice Treasurer of
Ireland. In 1781, the Spirit of Liberty,
invigorated from the opposite shores of the
Atlantic, roused a feeling in Ireland which
concession alone could assuage. England
was embarrased, enfeebled, almost pros-
trate. Ireland was armed, united, and re-
solved; Mr. Flood saw the crisis, and seized
* By a misconstruction of this statute, the Privy
Council of Ireland had assumed for more than a
century, authority similar to that formerly exercised
by the lords of articles in Scotland. By this
usurpation the parliament of Ireland was reduced
to a mere cypher.

it,--emancipating himself from the tram- | repeal of the 6th GEORGE I.* produced au
mels of office, he assailed the Minister in
the House of Commons, with all the vehe-
mence of his eloquence-all the weight of
his patriotism-all the energy of his cha-
racter-and demanded a restoration of his
country's rights. The government cower-
ing before its powerful assailant, and sensi-
ble of the instability of its position, relin-
quished, without procrastination, what could
no longer be retained without peril. The
patriots, BURGH and GRATTAN, flew across
the house upon this memorable occasion, and
embraced the orator, the former exclaiming,
"this is the man whose integrity the highest
office in the land could not warp." In 1785,
Mr. Flood was returned to the British House
of Commons, and continued a member until
the dissolution of that parliament. He died in
December, 1795. The history of his country,
should that history be ever written with im-
partiality, will do ample justice to the intre-
pidity, the disinterestedness, and patriotism |
of this eminent man, and when it records
the illustrious characters which adorned the
close of the eighteenth century, it will place
upon its brightest page the immortal name
of FLOOD.
Amongst his contemporaries HENRY
FLOOD enjoyed the most splendid reputa-
tion. "Here," said Mr. Curran, speaking
of him in a celebrated debate, "all the
wisdom of the state is collected, exploring
your weakness and your strength, detecting
every ambuscade, and pointing to the hidden
battery that was brought to bear upon the
shrine of freedom." Upon his resignation
of the treasureship, Mr. Montgomery "called
the attention of the house to a right honora-
ble gentleman (Mr. Flood), the best, the
most noble, the most indefatigable, the most
sincere, that had ever sacrificed private in-
terest to the advantage of his country." In
the debate that ensued, Mr. Flood rose and
spoke at considerable length, defending his
political conduct, and concluding with the
following characteristic sentiment; My
ambition has been when out of office not to
be factious, and when in office not to be
venal."
We cannot close this notice of Flood,
without alluding at least, to the personal
dispute which occurred between him and
his co-patriot, HENRY GRATTAN. The dis-
cussion of Poyning's law first caused a mis-
understanding between these celebrated
persons, and a subsequent debate upon the
|
|
altercation between them, unparalled within
the walls of parliament, for vituperation,
bitterness, and personality. In 1782, Mr.
Grattan obtained a simple repeal of that de-
claratory act, a course which Mr. Flood main-
tained in two very powerful speeches was no
security against England's preferring at any
future period a similar pretension founded
upon the PRINCIPLE of the measure. Acting
upon this opinion he procured a law renounc-
ing the claim for ever. The dispute to which
we allude occurred in 1783, and Mr. Flood,
in the course of the debate, entered into a
long and interesting narrative of his whole
political life.
The question of parliamentary reform,
Mr. Flood advocated for the first time in
the Irish House of Commons, in 1781, with
his accustomed force and eloquence. In
1794, he addressed a British parliament upon
the same important subject; and his speech
upon that occasion was published in 1831,
with his reply to Mr. Windham. They are
admiral oratorical efforts, and at the time of
delivery called forth the highest eulogy from
Mr. Pitt.
Had HENRY FLOOD not been one of the
most eminent statesmen and orators of the
period in which he lived, his translations of
Demosthenes, Eschines, and some of the
Odes of Pindar, would have stamped him
a man of genius, and insured him a place
in the temple of fame. Mr. Flood's style
of eloquence is described as of the very
first order, replete with knowledge, ardent,
vigorous, acute, and argumentative; and
it is stated, that while he hurried away his
auditory by the force of his great reason-
ing faculties, he delighted every person of
taste and judgment, by a certain felicity of
diction, which added infinite grace and
beauty to his delivery. He sometimes pros-
trated his adversary by a single word, thus
resembling the great Lord Chatham, whose
attributes as an orator and statesman he held
in the highest veneration.
HENRY FLOOD espoused, 13th April, in
1762, the Lady Frances-Maria Beresford,
daughter of Marcus, first Earl of Tyrone,
but died without issue. He devised his ex-

de Moubray, with whose descendants it has continued to the present period, with the
exception of the short interval from 1320 to 1346, when the possession was suspended
by forfeiture.
Sir Robert Moubray, when a captain in the 80th regiment of foot, embarked at
Ceylon in 1801, under the orders of COLONEL WELLESLEY (now Duke of Wellington),
to join the standard of Sir Ralph Abercrombie, in Egypt. He served ten years in India,
and eight in the Mediterranean.

MOUBRAY, OF COCKAIRNY.
Lineage.
ROGER DE ALBINI espoused Amicia de
Mowbray, sister of Robert de Mowbray, Earl
of Northumberland, and had two sons,
1. WILLIAM, from whom derived the
Earls of ARUNDEL, the male line of
which eminent house expired in 1243,
while the female line, now represented
by the Duke of Norfolk, continued
the family. (See Burke's Extinct
Peerage).
2. NIGEL, of whom we are about to
treat.
The second son,
ards, Dukes of Norfolk, and the other
branches of that puissant house.
2. Philip.*
3. Robert.*
4. Roger.
The second son,
PHILIP DE MOWBRAY, espoused Galiena,
daughter of Waldeve, Earl of Dunbar, and
with her acquired considerable property,
particularly the Baronies of Barbougle, Dal-
meny, and Inverkeithing. The first mention
of this Philip in the records of Scotland oc-
curs in a charter dated 1208. He was am-
treat of the marriage of King ALEXANDEr
II. with the Princess Joan. He had two
sons. 1. Roger; and 2. Nigel.
Nigel de Albini, possessor of one hun-bassador to England in 1215 and 1220, to
dred and twenty knight's fees in Normandy,
and one hundred and forty in England, m.
in 1118, Gundred de Gournay, only child of
Gerard de Gournay, by Edith, daughter of
William, Earl of Warren and Surrey, by
Gundred, daughter of WILLIAM the Con-
queror. Their eldest son,
ROGER, by special command of King
HENRY I. assumed the surname of MOWBRAY,
and the arms of that family. This Roger
was one of the chief commanders at the me-
morable battle fought in 1138 with the Scots
near Northallerton, known in history as the
Battle of thE STANDARD, and adhering to
King Stephen, in his contest with the em-
press, was taken prisoner with that monarch,
at the battle of Lincoln. In 1148 he accom-
panied Lewis, KING OF FRANCE, to the Holy
Land, and there acquired great renown by
vanquishing a stout and hardy Pagan in
single combat. His grants to the church
were munificent in the extreme; and his
piety so fervent, that he again assumed the
cross, and made a second journey to the
Holy Land, where he was taken prisoner,
but redeemed by the Knight Templars. He
d. soon after in the East, and was interred
at Sures. Some authorities say that he re-
turned to England, and living fifteen years
longer was buried in the Abbey of Riland.
This potent personage wedded Alice, de
Gant, and had two sons,
NIGEL.
ROGER DE MOUBRAY, the elder son, in a
charter to the church of Soltray, confirmed
to the Abbey of Jedburgh the donation of
the church which Waldeve, the son of Cos-
* Regarding the seniority of these two sons,
much discussion has arisen. Sir William Dug-
dale, in his Baronage (I. 124.) arranges the sons
thus. 1. William. 2. Robert. 3. Philip. 4.
Roger. And says, "Of which Robert I finde that
he tooke to wife a countess of Scotland, who had a
fair inheritance there, from whom descended the
Mowbrays of that kingdom." But in the margin
Dugdale refers for his authority to the Monasticon
II. 193, which is in these words, "Tunc filius
Rogeri de Mowbray primogenitus fuit Nigellus
Aliciam de Gant. Hic Nigellus cepit in uxorem
de Mowbray, qui ei successit, qui habuit in matrem
filiam Edmondi Comitis de Clara, nomine Mabil-
lam, et genuit ex eâ quatuor filios, scilicet; Wil-
lielmum de Mowbray, Robertum, Philippum et
Rogerum. Ille vero porro Robertus frater ejus-
dem Nigelli, feoffatus fuit in Scotiâ nobiliter per
quandam Baronissam, quam cepit in uxorem, cum
totâ terrâ patris sui et post mortem uxoris ordinem
sacerdotis intravit, et multas in manus suas accepit
ecclesias in Angliâ, in Normanniâ, et in Scotia."
Here Robert, the son of Nigel, is the antecedent
to ille; Robert, the brother of Nigel, not occurring
previously in the Monasticon, where Dugdale just
notices Robert, Philip, and Roger, as the younger
sons of Nigel, without mentioning the marriage
of Robert. Had Robert de Mowbray married a
countess in her own right their descendants must
have been Earls. The succession of the Earldoms
of Scotland, at that early period, is clearly eluci-
dated by Lord Hales in the Sutherland case. And
1. WILLIAM, ancestor of the Mowbrays, none appears as connected with Robert de Mow-
Dukes of Norfolk; also of the How-bray, who occurs no where in the records of Scot-
Robert.
NIGEL DE MOWBRAY, the elder son, as-
suming the Cross, set out for Palestine, but
d. on the journey, leaving by his wife, Mabel,
daughter of Edmond, Earl of Clare, four
sons, viz.
made to that abbey.

that John had succeeded to these es-
tates by hereditary succession to Sir

racy against King ROBERT in 1320,

5. Galfrid.
The fourth son,
Sir Philip de MOUBRAY, fell with King
in Guelderland, related to the Dukes of
Gueldres, who were connected in marriage
with the kings of England and Scotland.
Philippa and her husband had Barnbougle,
Dalmeny, and Inverkeithing, restored to
them by royal charter of 28th May, 1346;
and they occur frequently in original instru-
ments down to 1375.
Their only child,
Scotland. He was contracted in marriage to
the Lady Janet Stewart, daughter of Robert,
Earl of Fife and Monteith (afterwards Duke
of Albany, and regent of Scotland, son of
King ROBERT II.) in 1372, by indenture
under which, the estates were provided to
the issue of that marriage. In 1401, the
lands of Barnbougle, Dalmeny, and Inver-
keithing, were the property of
DAVID, assumed, as a matter of course,
land at the time in question. William de Mow- the distinguished name of his maternal an-
bray, eldest son of Nigel, executed two charters, cestors---MOUBRAY, his father being a fo-
inserted in Dugdale's Monasticon II. 190, con-reigner, without property and connexion in
firming to the Abbey of Newburgh all the dona-
tions made thereto by Roger de Mowbray his grand-
father, and Nigel de Mowbray his father, three of
the witnesses to which are," Robert de Mowbray,
my uncle, Philip de Mowbray, my brother, Robert
de Mowbray, my brother." Here Philip takes
precedence of his brother Robert, indicating that
he was his elder brother, consequently second son
of Nigel. Philip de Mowbray also makes at that
period a conspicuous figure in the records of Scot-
land, where he married Galiena, daughter of Wal-
deve, the potent Earl of Dunbar, with whom he
got great possessions in that kingdom. He must
have been a person of high birth and consideration,
from his thus obtaining in marriage a daughter of
one of the most powerful of the Scottish nobility,
and from his being employed in important negotia-
tions with England; and no family of consequence
of the name of Moubray existed in North Britain at
that period, except that of Nigel de Mowbray. From
these premises the legitimate conclusions are, that
Philip de Moubray, and not Robert, was second
son of Nigel, and that he was ancestor of the Mou-governor of the kingdom durst have ven-
brays of Scotland; it is also apparent that the Scot-
tish Countess and Baroness of Dugdale were one
and the same person, Galiena, daughter of Wal-
deve, Earl of Dunbar, spouse of Philip de Mou-
bray.
JOHN DE MOUBRAY, indicating that he was
son and heir of that marriage. He was sub-
sequently knighted, and a strong proof that
he was grandson of the DUKE OF ALBANY,
Regent of Scotland, occurs in his forcibly
dispossessing Margaret, Lady of Cragy, of
her lands of Luckald, in the barony of Dal-
meney, "wickedly, contrary to God and
all justice," as the record bears, and trans-
mitting them to his son, as none but a near
connexion of that unprincipled and powerful
tured to act with such flagrant injustice.
He was dead before 1st February, 1426, when
PHILIP DE MOUBRAY, of Barnbougle, is
described as son and heir of the deceased
Sir John de Moubray, knt. Lord of Barn-

bougle, in an instrument of appellation to
Pope MARTIN V. of that date. The parlia-
ment of Scotland decided, 17th March,
1429--30, that the lands of Luckald should
be restored to Margaret, Lady of Cragy,
and that she should be replaced in the same
as freely as she had been before she was
despoiled of them by the deceased John de
Moubray, knt. and which lands were un-
justly detained from her by Philip de Mou-
bray, who was amerciated, and found liable
to prosecution for expenses and damages.
Philip de Moubray occurs in charters and
other documents down to 1477.
PHILIP MOWBRAY, his son, had a charter
of the barony of Dalmeny, on his father's
resignation, 6th February, 1450--1, and oc-
curs in an indenture 25th January, 1461--2.
He wedded Isabel Stewart, and had a son,
SIR DAVID MOUBRAY, of Barnbougle, who
was served heir of Philip, his father, 9th
March, 1466--7, and last occurs in 1494.

2. WILLIAM, of whom we are about to
treat.
The second son of Sir David,
WILLIAM MOUBRAY, of Cockairny, had a
charter of the lands of Cockairny, and part
of the barony of Inverkeithing, from his ne-
phew, Sir John Moubray, of Barnbougle,
wherein he is designed "Sir John's beloved
uncle on the father's side;" dated 24th Sep-
1. JOHN, of Dalmeny, who predeceased
his father, leaving a son,
SIR JOHN MOUBRAY, of Barnbou-tember, 1511. This charter was produced
to Nisbet, when compiling his system of he-
gle, who d. in 1519, leaving an
raldry, about 1720, by John Moubray of
only daughter and heiress,
Cockairny, stated by Nisbet to be the un-
doubted heir of William Moubray, of Cock-
airny, to whom the charter was granted, in
a direct and uninterrupted male line. As
Sir Robert Moubray, now of Cockairny, is
in like manner heir-male of the body of this
John Moubray, of Cockairny, it follows that
Sir Robert is heir of William Moubray, to
whom Cockairny was granted in 1511, in a
direct and uninterrupted male line.
BARBARA MOUBRAY, who es-
poused Robert Bartoun, son
of Sir Robert Bartoun, of
Over-Bartoun, high trea-
surer of Scotland. In 1527,
Robert Bartoun was or-
dained, by act of parlia-
ment, to change his name to
MOUBRAY, because "the
same has been an old and
honourable house, and done
our Sovereign Lords prede-
cessors good service in their
wars and otherwise." The

Lineage.
The first member of this family upon
record,

in Kent, temp. HENRY VIII. as tenant to
the abbot and convent of St. Albans. He
died in 1525, and was s. by his eldest son,

1551, the manor in which he before resided,
and built a part of the mansion-house now
remaining. He m. first, Anne, daughter of
Robert Hadde, of Aylesford, in Kent, but

6. ROBERT, were distinguished by
their military talents, attained each
the rank of colonel. The elder
served for many years in the German
army; both accompanied Sir Walter
Raleigh in his expedition to Guinea,
and drew forth strong expressions
of approbation from that gallant sol-
dier. In the civil commotions of the
subsequent reign, they took a promi-
nent part. The elder (colonel Fran-
cis), in his advanced age, retired to
his native place, and after having
added somewhat to the buildings,
died there. The younger (colonel
Robert) was shot in the wars in Ire-
land.

III. Anthony, of Somersham Place, in
the county of Huntingdon, whose son,
ANTHONY, of Somersham Place,
was a member of parliament, and
commissioner of the navy in the
reign of Queen ANNE. This gen-
tleman, a person of celebrity
amongst the wits and politicians
of his day, a period when St.
Stephens displayed no ordinary
degree of eloquence, obtained
from Lord Bolinbroke the epi-
thet of Silver Tongued Ham-
mond. He espoused Jane, daugh-

nent person received his
education at Westminster
school, where he formed an
intimacy with the Lords Cob-
ham, Chesterfield, Lyttelton,
and several others, who
subsequently distinguished
themselves in the literary
world. His "Love elegies"
were published shortly after
his death, with a preface by
Lord Chesterfield. They are
chiefly imitations from Ti-
bullus; are obviously the
fruits of a highly cultivated
mind, and have been much
read and admired notwith-
standing the severe and illi-
beral criticisms of Dr. John-
son.
IV. Edward d. at sea.
Anthony Hammond d. in 1661, and was s.

well-known critic.
Mr. Hammond having been bred a physi-
cian, went abroad in pursuit of professional
knowledge, and a very curious account of
his travels, written by himself, is still pre-
served amongst the family papers. He was
succeeded at his decease by his eldest son,
WILLIAM HAMMOND, esq. of St. Albans
Court. This gentleman m. first, in 1692,
Elizabeth, daughter of John Kingsford, esq.

gentleman was representa-
tive in parliament for Dor-
setshire, and one of the privy
council to King CHARLES
II. In the time of the civil
war, he had the command of
a regiment in that division of
the royal army which acted
under Prince MAURICE in
the west. In 1645, he was
imprisoned in the Tower,
for his active loyalty, where
he endured confinement for
more than two years and a
half. There is a fine Me-
dallion struck of Mr. Strang-
wayes upon this occasion;
n the reverse of which is
represented that part of the
Strangwayes sent his ma-
jesty three hundred broad
pieces, which were perhaps
the most seasonable present
the royal fugitive ever re-
ceived. This was, however,
but a small portion of the
sum which is to be placed to
the account of his loyalty,
as the house of Strangwayes
paid no less than £35000 for
its fidelity to the crown.

Lineage.
The family of LUTTRELL, or LOTERELL,
was established in England by one of the
chiefs in the Norman Conquest, whose name |
is to be found in the Roll of Battel Abbey.
In the reigns of HENRY I. and King
Stephen, Sir John Luttrell held, in capite,
the manor of Hoton Pagnel, in Yorkshire,
which vested in his male descendants until
the time of HENRY V. when it devolved
upon an heiress, who espoused John Scott,
feudal lord of Calverley, and steward of the
household to the Empress MAUD.
The estates of Sir Geoffry Luttrell, knt.
in the counties of Derby, Leicester, Not-
tingham, and York, were confiscated in the
reign of RICHARD I. for his adhesion to
John, Earl of Morton, but they were res-
tored upon the accession of that prince to
the throne, as King JOHN. Sir Geoffry
subsequently accompanied the king into
Ireland, and obtained from the crown a
grant of Luttrellstown, in that kingdom.
The descendants of Sir Geoffry were after-
wards feudal barons of Irnham, and one of
those barons, ROBERT DE LUTTRELL, had
summons to parliament on the 24th June,
and 2nd November, 1295. (See Burke's
Extinct and Dormant Peerage.)
JOHN LUTTRELL (youngest son of Andrew
|
Luttrell, of East Quantockshead, living temp.
EDWARD I.) acquired by grant from the
crown, in the 11th Edward III., certain
lands and rents in Chilton, in the county of
Devon, which shire he represented in par-
liament in the 37th of the same monarch.
He m. two wives, by the first, Rose, he
seems to have had no issue; by the second,
Joan, he had a son, his successor.
SIR ANDREW LUTTRELL, of Chilton, who
had married in the lifetime of his father,
Lady Elizabeth Courtenay, second daughter
of Hugh, EARL OF DEVON, and widow of
Sir John Vere, knt. son of Aubrey de Vere,
Earl of Oxford, an alliance which connected
the Luttrells with the ROYAL HOUSE OF
PLANTAGENET. The son of this marriage,
SIR HUGH LUTTRELL, resided at Dunster
Castle, which his mother, Lady Elizabeth,
had purchased from the family of Mohun;
he was member of parliament for Somerset-
shire in the reign of RICHARD II. and suc-
cessively for that county and Devon. In
the 8th HENRY IV. Sir Hugh gained a suit
at law against Edward Plantagenet, Duke
of York, and the other heirs of John Lord
Mohun, of Dunster, by which he obtained
possession of the honours and Castle of
Dunster, lordship of Carhampton, &c. in
the county of Somerset. He was afterwards
ranger of Blackmore Forest, in Dorsetshire,
a privy-councillor to King HENRY V., and
one of the commanders under that martial
monarch, at the reduction of Harfleur, in
Normandy, anno 1415, and at the memorable

son espoused, first, Joan, daughter of Sir
John Mallet, of Enmore, but had no issue.
He m. secondly, Margaret, daughter of
John, Lord Audley. He died the year
after his father, possessed of the castle,
church, and manor of Dunster, lordship of
Carhampton, town of Minehead, with several
manors in the west, held of the crown, as
one entire barony of forty-nine knights' fees.
He was likewise seized of the manor of
Quantoch, with four other knights' fees in
Somersetshire, and was s. by his son,

Edinburgh and Leith, when he received the
honor of knighthood. Two years afterwards
he was under the same nobleman at Bou-
logne, and had the command of a hundred
men. In the reign of EDWARD VI. he was
likewise distinguished in arms, and was
made a Knight-Banneret, for his conduct at
the taking of Yester, in the first year of that
monarch. He m. Mary, daughter of Sir
John Griffith, K.B. by whom (who m. after
his decease James Godolphin, of Cornwall)

third part of his estates, the other two thirds
SIR JAMES LUTTRELL, who was made a
KNIGHT-BANNERET at the battle of Wake-
field, in 1463, and fell fighting under the
standard of Lancaster, in 1471. He was
subsequently attainted by King EDWARD
IV. and his castle of Dunster, lordship of
Carhampton, &c. granted to Sir Edward
Herbert, knt. first Earl of Pembroke. He
left by his wife, Elizabeth, daughter and
heiress of Sir William Courtenay, eldest
brother of Sir Edward Courtenay, of Hac-devolving, by two entails, and by the will of
combe, a son and successor,
SIR HUGH LUTTRELL, who is mentioned by
Hollingshed and other historians amongst
the persons of note in the west, who joined
the EARL OF RICHMOND at his landing, and
were afterwards instrumental in quelling
the Devonshire insurrection. When the suc-
cessful issue of Bosworth placed the crown |
upon RICHMOND's head, as HENRY VII.,
the estates of Sir Hugh Luttrell were imme-
diately restored, and he was subsequently
created a Knight of the Bath, at the coro-
nation of the queen, in 1487. He espoused,
first, Margaret, daughter of Robert Hill, and
half-sister (maternally) of Lord Daubeney,
* From a younger son of this Sir Hugh and
Catherine Beaumont, ROBERT LUTTRELL, who died
in the 15th HENRY VI. seized of the castle and
lands of Luttrellstown, in the county of Dublin,
descended the well known Irish family of Luttrell,
of which were the extinct EARLS OF CARHAMPTON.
+ The ORDER OF THE BATH was then first insti- |
tuted, and consisted of forty-six knights, amongst
whom were three of the king's sons.
Sir John himself, upon his next brother,
THOMAS LUTTRELL, esq. M. P. for Mine-
head. This gentleman, in order to preserve
the estates which he thus inherited clear of
his nieces portions and of his brother's debts,
sold all the lands in Devon and Suffolk, but
those were amply replaced by the estates
acquired on his marriage with Margaret,
only daughter and heiress of Christopher
Hadley, esq. of Withycombe, and great
grandaughter of Philippa, daughter of Sir
Humphrey Audley, by Elizabeth, widow of
Sir James Luttrell. In consequence of this
consanguinity it was necessary to procure a
special bull, in the 5th of Philip and Mary,
from Pope PAUL V. to sanction the marriage.
Mr. Luttrell d. in 1570, Margaret, his wife
surviving, who was afterwards m. to John
Strode, of Parnham, esq. and again to

Lineage.
This family derives from a common an-
cestor with that of WYNDHAM, Earls of Egre-
mont.
SIR JOHN WYNDHAM, knt. of Orchard, in
the county of Somerset, and of Felbrigge,
in Norfolk, espoused Joan, daughter of Sir
Henry Portman, knt. of Orchard-Portman,
in the former shire, and had issue,
1. JOHN, who m. Catharine, daughter
of Robert Hopton, esq. of Witham,

heiress,

December, 1810, the Hon.
Windham-Henry Quin, elder
son of Valentine, Lord Adare,
to whom she conveyed Dun-
valuable library he determined, if possible
to save from destruction. He laboured at
the task which he thus imposed upon him-
self, for no less than four hours, during a
heavy rain, and amidst the playing of seve-
ral engines. He laboured, however, not in
vain, for most of the books were preserved;
but he sustained a serious injury in the hip,
by falling under the weight of some heavy
volumes; of the accident he took little no-
tice, until an indolent encysted tumour had
been formed, when, upon taking surgical
advice, he found that it was necessary for
him to submit to a painful and dangerous
operation. The tumour was accordingly
operated upon and removed, 17th May, 1810,
but unfavourable symptoms followed, and
he expired on the 4th of the following June.
"Windham generally acted," (says a recent
writer,)" as though he cared for no opinion
but his own. He dealt largely in para-
doxes, was often false in his philosophy,
and occasionally advocated nonsense; yet
he had the credit of being an enlightened
man, and of always speaking as he thought.
A Quixote against what he deemed the pre-
judices of the great: he frequently startled
the dull ear of some stately associate, by
asserting that it was essential for the sup-
port of our national intrepidity, to encourage
cock-fighting, bull-baiting, and pugilism. It
was his ambition to realize and embody in
himself the popular idea of a thorough Eng-
*This eminent person was born in Lon-
don, 3rd May, 1750. In his seventh year
he was placed at Eton, and became con-
spicuous amongst his companions for abili-
ties and courage. In 1766, he went to the
University of Glasgow, and the next year
he entered Oxford as a gentleman com-
moner. At this period of his life, he felt so
little interest in public affairs, that he was
said never to know who was prime minister.
His debût, as a public speaker, was at a
political meeting in Norwich, and he there
opposed, with great energy, the subscription
then in progress to sustain the American
war. In 1782, he obtained a seat in par-
liament, as representative for Norwich, and
here, as at Eton, he was soon distinguished
by his talents and intrepidity. In 1783,
he was appointed chief secretary to the
lord-lieutenant of Ireland. Upon the dis-
union amongst the whigs, in 1793, Wind-
ham attached himself to Burke, and the
next year he was constituted secretary-at-
war, with the unusual distinction of a seat
in the cabinet. From this time he held
office until the retirement of Mr. Pitt, in
1801, at whose decease in 1806, he resumed
his station of secretary-at-war, joined to
that of colonial secretary, under the Gren-
ville administration. With the whigs he
again retired, and ever afterwards sate upon
the opposition bench. His death, which
took place in 1810, arose from the following
circumstance. While passing, in the pre-lishman; his eloquence was bold and forci-
ceding year, by the end of Conduit-street,
(on the 8th July,) he saw a house on fire,
and with his characteristic intrepidity, pro-
ceeded towards the spot, in order to afford
all the assistance in his power. He found
the flames rapidly advancing towards the
residence of the Hon. Mr. North, whose
ble; his opinions masculine, generous, and
tolerant. He had a most fervid affection for
the pastimes of our ancestors; and de-
claimed with equal zeal and eloquence to
prove the necessity of their perpetuation.
His popular predilections were so nicely
balanced by his loyalty, that he enjoyed the

sumed the additional surname

subsequently created Earl of
Dunraven and Mountearl, and
he inherited those honours
himself at the decease of that
nobleman, 24th August, 1824.

man was called to the degree of

stituted one of the barons of the ex-
chequer in 1670, and subsequently
transferred to the bench of the com-
mon-pleas.
9. WADHAM (Sir), of whom we are
about to treat.
The youngest son,
SIR WADHAM WYNDHAM, of Norrington,
in the county of Wilts, was one of the
judges of the court of king's bench, in 1660.
He m. Barbara, daughter of Sir George
Clarke, knt. of Walford, Northamptonshire,
and had, with several other children,
rare felicity, as a public man, of being in
high favour with the people, without render-
ing himself at all odious to the sovereign.
He was much beloved in private life, his
character being amiable, and his conversa-
tion varied, sportive, intelligent, and con-
ciliating. So decidedly high did he rank in
public estimation, that the immediate neigh-
bourhood of his residence was thronged with
carriages during his illness, containing
anxious enquirers as to the state of his
health; his house was crowded with friends
during the consultations of his medical at-
tendants. All classes exhibited the most
lively sympathy for his sufferings; and the
king himself repeatedly desired to be in-
formed of the progress of his malady; em-
phatically declaring that the expiring senator
was a genuine patriot and a truly honest
man." Mr. Wyndham d. unmarried.

Lineage.
This family deduces its origin from the
time of the Norman Conquest, at which
period its first founder came over into
England, and is said to have borne the
name of DE-LA-How. His grandson having
settled in the county of Berks, the surname
originally signifying "Of the Hill," became
corrupted At the Hill, and thence was
shortened into ATTHILL. From this DE-
LA-How lineally descended
RICHARD ATT'EHILL, of Bareworth, in the
county of Berks, (whose name, &c. are
recorded in the Abbreviatio Rotulo Ori-

uncle, Francis Myddleton, esq. of Offerton.
Lineage.
This family, which derived its surname
from "
a fair lordship," situated upon the
river EDEN, is of great antiquity in the north
of England. One of its members espoused
in the reign of King EDWARD I. the daughter
and heiress of Hastings, and thereby ac-
quiring the lands of Croglin, in Cumberland
(which remained in the family until the de-
mise of Philip, Duke of Wharton, in 1731),
assumed her arms; ensigns which still con-
tinue with their descendant, the present
Robert Wharton Myddleton, esq. The great-
great grandson of the heiress of Hastings,
HENRY WHARTON, of Wharton, on the
banks of the Eden, living in 1409, possessed
of Croglin, m. Elizabeth, daughter of Sir
Thomas Musgrave, knt. of Harcla Castle,
in the county of Westmoreland, and had a
son and successor,
THOMAS WHARTON, of Wharton, who held
Croglin, and marrying the daughter of Sir
Robert Lowther, knt. of Lowther, had issue,
1. HENRY, of Wharton and Croglin,
who was grandfather of SIR THOMAS
WHARTON, knt. Governor of the
town and castle of Carlisle, who, in
the 34th HENRY VIII. assisted by Sir
William Musgrave, at the head of
only three hundred men, gallantly
resisted an incursion of the Scots, put
them to the rout, and made prisoners
of the Earls of Cassilis and Glencairn,
with several other personages of note.
In two years afterwards he marched
into Scotland with the Lord Dacre,
and was at the taking of Dumfries;
for which, and other eminent services,
he was summoned to parliament as
BARON WHARTON, 30th January,
1545. The lineal descendant and re-
presentative of this eminentnobleman,
PHILIP WHARTON, Sixth Lord and
second Marquis of Wharton, was
created DUKE OF WHARTON 20th
January, 1718. Of this, the ec-
centric, witty, and gifted Lord
Wharton, Walpole thus speaks,
"With attachment to no party,
though with talents to govern
any, this lively man changed the
free air of Westminster for the
escurial; the prospect of King
GEORGE'S Garter for the Pre-
tender's; and, with indifference
to all religion, the frolic lord,
who had written the ballad on
the Archbishop of Canterbury,
died in the habit of a capuchin.

LENTHALL, OF BESSELS LEIGH.
LENTHALL, KYFFIN-JOHN-WILLIAM, esq. of Bessels Leigh, in the county
of Berks, and of Maynan Hall, Caernarvonshire, b. 12th October, 1789, m. 28th April,

Mr. Lenthall s. to the estates upon the demise of his father. He served the office
of High Sheriff for Caernarvonshire in 1828.
Lineage.
The ancestor of this ancient and distin-
guished family,
SIR ROWLAND LENTHALL, of Hampton
Court, in the county of Hereford, was high
in favour with King HENRY IV. to whom
he was master of the robes. He was one of
the lords-marchers, and for some time am-
bassador to the Parisian court. Sir Row-
land accompanied HENRY V. to France, and
having a command at the Battle of Azın-
COURT, made so many prisoners in that
celebrated conflict, that he completed, with
the produce of their ransom, the new build-
ings at Hampton Court. In that mansion was
preserved a picture, engraved by Vertue,
and said to be an undoubted original of
HENRY IV.; pendant from the neck is a
chain and medallion, on which are depicted
the arms of the Fitz-Alans, Earls of Arun-
del, and underneath the following inscrip-
tion: "HENRY IV. King of England, who
laid the first stone of this house, and left this
picture in it when he gave it to Lenthall."
Sir Rowland espoused Margaret, daugh-
ter and eventually co-heiress of Richard Fitz-
Alan, Earl of Arundel; upon which mar-
riage, Lady Margaret being related to the
king, Sir Rowland had given to him "
thousand by the year," for the maintenance
of them and their heirs, of which grant,
says Leland, the town of Ludlow forms a
part.

a
Some years afterwards, the Lenthalls sold
their possessions, in Herefordshire, to the
Cornwalls, Barons of Burford, and settled
at Latchford and Great Haseley, in Oxford-
shire, (which manors and estates they ac-
quired in the reign of EDWARD IV. by mar-
riage with the heiress of the Pipards,*) where
they remained seated for many generations.
In 1603, these estates were possessed by
SIR EDMUND LENTHALL, who was one of
those fined, under an act of parliament
passed in the reign of JAMES I., for res-
training persons of quality from residing
so much of the year in London. Sir Ed-
mund dying without issue, the line of the
family was continued by his brother,
A member of this ancient family, having gal-
lantly distinguished himself in the Scottish wars,
was summoned to parliament, as a baron, from the
6th February, 1299, to 24th July, 1302. Burke's

The second son,
WILLIAM LENTHALL, esq. b. in June 1591,
having studied the law with eminent assi-
duity, and having attained high distinction in
that learned profession, was, in 1637, ad-
mitted a bencher of Lincoln's-inn, made re-
corder of London, and master of the rolls.
In 1639, he was returned member for Wood-
stock, and when the long parliament met, on
the 3rd November, 1640, he was chosen
speaker, which important office he continued
to hold after the king's death, and until the
dissolution of that assembly. In the first
parliament called by CROMWELL, as protec-
tor, he had no seat; but in the second, he
was returned for two places, the city of
Gloucester, and the county of Oxford, and
was again elected speaker. He subse-
quently was appointed chamberlain of Ches-
ter, chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster, and
keeper of the great seal. In the single par-
liament assembled by Richard Cromwell, he
sat in the upper house by the title of William,
Lord Lenthall, and so great was his influence
and weight at the restoration, that General
Monck assured King CHARLES, that he could
not have brought about that desirable event
without Mr. Lenthall's concurrence. This

successor,
Sir JOHN LENTHALL, was member for
Gloucester in the long parliament, and also
for the same place in the parliament called
by Richard Cromwell. Sir John, who was

BOWES, OF BRADLEY.
BOWES, THOMAS, esq. of Bradley Hall, in the county of Durham, b. 29th of
June, 1758.
Lineage.
This gentleman, being a lineal descen-
dant of the elder branch of the Bowes's, of
Streatlam Castle, is representative of that
ancient family, which, for a long period,
was one of the most powerful and distin-
guished in the county of Durham, renowned
for the strenuous loyalty of its members,
and the many important services which
they had rendered to the crown and to the
country. The name, according to GROSE,
thus originated : "About the time of the
CONQUEROR," Says that indefatigable anti-
quary, "here was a town which, the tradi-
tion of the inhabitants states, was burned.
It then belonged to the earls of Brittany
and Richmond; the castle was built, as Mr.
Horseley thinks, out of the ruins of the
Roman fortress by Alan Niger, the first
earl of that title,* who is said, in a manu-
script belonging to the dissolved monastery
of St. Mary's at York, placed therein, Wil-
liam, his relation, with five hundred archers,
to defend it against some insurgents, in
Cumberland and Westmoreland, confede-
rated with the Scots, giving him for the de-
vice of his standard, the arms of Brittany,

Richmond, see Burke's Extinct Peerage.

with three bows and a bundle of arrows,
from whence both the castle and its com-
mander derived their names, the former
being called Bowe Castle, and the latter
William de Arcubus." Of this person
CAMDEN also makes mention, "Near this
stands Stretlham, for a long time the seat of
the famous and knightly family of the
Bowes, or de Arcubus, who have often done
great service to their king and country in
times of extremity, their pedigree is from
William de Arcubus, &c."
SIR WILLIAM Bowes, knt. captain of five
hundred archers, and governor of Bowes
Castle, was great-great-grandfather of
SIR ADAM BOWES, knt. justice in oyer of
the liberties of Durham, and steward of
Richmondshire, living in 1345, who m.

lord of Streatlam, by his wife Agnes, heiress

had, with junior issue,

Sir Adam was s. at his decease by his eldest

of Lilburne, in the county of Northumber- |
land, but dying without issue, his posses-
sions descended to his brother,

who received the honour of knight-banneret
at the BATTLE OF POICTIERS. He espoused
Maud, daughter and heiress of Jordan Daw-
den, and with her acquired Dawden, Sea
ham, Ryhope, Seaton, &c. with the advow-
son of Dawden church. Sir William was
s. at his decease by his son,
SIR ROBERT Bowes, who was made a
knight-banneret at the siege of Rouen, in
Normandy, and was one of the victims to
the indiscretion of Thomas, duke of Cla-
rence, at the battle of Bangey Bridge,
where he fell, with several other illustrious
personages, in the year 1419. He m. Jane,
daughter and co-heiress of Sir Robert Con-
yers, of Sockburn, knt. and had, with other
issue, a son and successor,
SIR WILLIAM Bowes, who was knighted

|
at the battle of Vernoile in 1424. This
eminent warrior was chamberlain to John,
DUKE OF BEDFORD, whilst regent of France,
and was constituted by that prince governor
of the castle of Gallyard, in Normandy.
He continued abroad twenty years, and
sent home a inodel and plan for rebuilding
his castle of Streatlam, to which he retired
on his return, and resided there to a great
age, being commonly known as "old Sir
William Bowes." He m. Joan, daughter
of Ralph, Lord Greystock, and acquired

The knight marshall espoused, secondly,

a strange will or entail made by Sir George
about the year 1590, the estate of Streatlam,
with the great bulk of his property, passed
to SIR TALBOT Bowes, his son by the se-
cond marriage; and thus his eldest son, by
his former wife, was deprived of his birth-
right, and only inherited from his father
the estate and lordship of BRADLEY HALL,-
which had been acquired by a grant from
the crown 14th of Elizabeth. The younger
branch, having in this manner become pos-
sessed of the immense estates of Sir George,.
continued for a long time to be one of the
most considerable families of the county pa-
latine, until the property finally came to (the
descendant of the second marriage)
GEORGE BOWES, esq. of Streatlam,
whose only daughter and heiress,
MARY-ELEANOR, espoused, first,
John, ninth Earl of Strathmore,
who thereupon assumed the sur-
name of BowES, and had, with
other issue,
1. JOHN, who succeeded as
tenth Earl of Strathmore,

peers of the United Kingdom

Henry Hawkins Tremayne.
Lineage.
From the Manor of TREMAYNE, in the | her executrix by his will, dated before the
parish of St. Martin, on the banks of Hel- | feast of Simon and Jude, 1392. Thomas

reign of EDWARD III. we find residing there

son,
THOMAS TREMAYNE, who m. Elizabeth,
daughter of Carew. In 1448, Edmund
JOHN TREMAYNE, to whom, having no Lacy, Bishop of Exeter, granted license
issue himself, succeeded his brother,
PERYS TREMAYNE, who m. Onera Tre-
vartea, and was grandfather of
THOMAS TREMAYNE. This was the last
resident of the family at Tremayne. He
espoused Isabella, daughter and sole hei-
ress of Trenchard, of Collacombe, in the
parish of Lamerton, and removed in con-
sequence to that estate, where his descend-
ants flourished for more than three centuries,
enjoying the highest degree of reputation.
By the heiress of the Trenchards he had
issue,
NICHOLAS, his successor.
Thomas, in holy orders, rector of Au-
ton Giffard, in Devonshire, and canon
of St. Peter's, Exeter.
The lady (Isabella Trenchard) surviving her
husband, remarried with Sir John Dammerel,
and acquired so much influence over her
second lord, that he settled upon her and
her heirs by Tremayne (she had no children
by Dammerel) NORTH HUISH, SYDENHAM-
DAMEREL, with other lands, and appointed
unto this Thomas Tremayne and his wife,
"that they might have divine service cele-
brated in their presence within the Manor
of Collacombe." They had issue a son and
heir,
JOHN TREMAYNE, of Collacombe, who
wedded

after, as repre-
sentative of
the family at
the decease of
Arthur Tre-
mayne, esq. of
Sydenham, in
1808.
Mr. Tremayne was s. by his elder son,
JOHN TREMAYNE, of Collacombe, high
sheriff of Cornwall, in the second of HENRY
VII. (1485). This gentleman wedded Phi-
lippa, eldest daughter of Roger Grenville,
of Stowe, in the same county, and had eight
sons with as many daughters, the former
were

1. ROGER, who d. s.
2. Edmond, of whom Prince, in his wor-
thies of Devon, gives the following
account. "Being a younger brother
he became servant to Edward, Mar-
quess of Exeter, and a great sufferer
for his inviolable fidelity to his noble
master:-for when the Marquess of
Exeter, and the Lady Elizabeth,
(afterwards Queen of England, of
Glorious Memory), were committed
to the Tower in Queen MARY'S days,
upon an accusation of being privy to
Wyat's conspiracy, Mr. Edmund Tre-
mayne was set on the rack, thereby
to extort from him a confession of
their guilt (prisoners were oft exa-
mined about her, and some were put
to the rack to try if they could be
brought to accuse that lady); wherein
approving their innocency and his
own fidelity, with invincible resolu-
tion, he was upon the Lady Elizabeth's
advancement to the throne made one
of the clerks of her Majesty's most
honorable privy council. He had
also an honorary salary settled upon
him by the city of Exeter, for the
good offices it had received and ex-
pected from him. He m. Eulalia,
daughter of Sir John Saint Leger,
and had two sons, named Francis,
who both died issueless."
3. DIGORY, eventual successor to the
estates.
4. Richard, (twin with John) in holy
orders, and an eminent divine. He
was educated at Oxford, and became
a fellow of Exeter College, in that
University, which he retained until
the accession of Queen MARY, when
he was obliged from his zeal for the
reformation to seek an asylum in
Germany, having been deprived of
his fellowship. Upon the elevation
of ELIZABETH to the throne he re-
turned from exile, and visiting his
college had the honor of receiving
both degrees of divinity at once on
the 15th February, 1565. Doctor
Tremayne subsequently removed to
Gates Hall, and thence passed within
a short period into his own county,
being instituted Canon Residentiary
of St. Peters, Exeter, and treasurer
of that church. He was esteemed in
his time a famous preacher, and he
is styled by Carew-"Well born,
learned, and well beloved." He m.
Joan, eldest daughter of Sir Piers
Courtenay, of Ugbrook, but d. s. p.
in 1584.
5. John, twin with his brother Doctor
Tremayne.
6. Nicholas twins, between these bro-
7. Andrew Sthers so great a resem-
blance in person and sympathy of
affection subsisted, as scarcely to have
been paralleled in any other instance.
Risden, in his survey of Devon, re-
lates the following singular facts re-
garding them. "Nicholas and An-
drew Tremayne were twins and
younger sons of Thomas Tremayne,
esq. of Cullacumbe, in this county;
they were so like in all their linea-
ments, so equal in statures, so co-
loured in hair, and of such resem-
blance in face and gesture, that they
could not be known the one from the
other; no not by their parents, bre-
thren, or sisters, but privately by some
secret mark, or openly by wearing
some several coloured ribond or the
like: which in sport, they would
sometimes change to make trial of
their friends' judgments, which would
often occasion many mirthful mis-
takes. Yet somewhat more strange
it was, that they agreed in mind and
affection as much as in body; for what
one loved, the other desired; so on
the contrary, the loathing of the one
was the dislike of the other. Yea!
such a consideration of inbred power
and sympathy was in their natures,
that if Nicholas was sick and grieved,
Andrew felt the like pain, though
they were far distant and remote from
each other; this too without any in-
telligence given unto either party.
And what is farther observable, if
TREMAYNE, OF HELIGAN.
Andrew was merry, Nicholas was so
affected although in different places;
which they could not long endure to
be, for they ever desired to eat, drink,
sleep, and wake together. Yea! so they
lived and so they died. In the year
1564 they both served in the wars at
Newhaven, in France (now better
known by the name of Havre de
Grace), where in this they something
differed (though it being in that which
was without them, was not much in
them) that the one was a captain of
a troop of horse, and the other a pri-
vate soldier; but still with the same
sympathy of affection. Being both
to the last degree brave, they put
themselves into posts of greatest ha-
zard. At length one of the brothers
was slain, and the other instantly
stepped into his place, and there in
the midst of danger, no persuasion
being able to remove him, he was also
slain "*
8. Robert, who died an infant.
The two elder sons, ROGER and EDMUND,
dying issueless, the estates eventually de-
volved upon the third son,
DIGORY TREMAYNE, esq. who thus became
of Collacombe, and was s. by his son,
ARTHUR TREMAYNE, esq. of Collacombe.
This gentleman m. in 1586, Mary, daughter
of Sir Richard Greville knt., of Stowe,
by whom he had a numerous family, and
dying in 1634, was s. by his eldest son,
EDMUND TREMAYNE, esq. of Collacombe,
who wedded Bridget, daughter of Sir John
Cooper, of Dorsetshire, and had issue,
John,
Thomas, both died unmarried.
JOHN, one of the most gallant and de-
voted of the CAVALIERS in the unfor-
tunate civil wars. He endured much
personal suffering and great losses by
his fidelity to his royal master, and
died in the life time of his father,
anno 1664.
Edmund, like his brother, a distinguished
and faithful adherent of King CHARLES
I. He d. unmarried in 1667.
* Upon the monument of these extraordinary
brothers the following lines are engraved.
These liken'd twins, in form and fancy one,
Were like affected, and like habit chose :
Their valour at Newhaven siege was known,
Where both encountered fiercely with their foes;
There one of both sore wounded lost his breath,
And t' other slain, revenging brother's death.

Upon the decease of his wife, Mr. Weld became a Ro-
man Catholic clergyman, and was soon afterwards pro-
moted to a bishopric. He obtained a cardinal's hat in
1829. His Eminence has for several years devoted his
time, and large fortune entirely to the wants and services
of the unfortunate, and has justly acquired the highest
reputation for piety and benevolence. Mr. Weld is the
first Englishman who has had a seat in the CONCLAVE
since the pontificate of CLEMENT IX. He inherited his
paternal estates at the decease of his father in 1810.

Lineage.
The family of WELD is presumed to de- | daughter of William Bostock, and was
rive from EDRICK, surnamed WILD, or SYL-grandfather of
VATICUS, who was nephew to Edric, Duke
of Mercia, husband of Edina, daughter of
King ETHELRED. From him descended

This gentleman was governor of Portland
Castle. He purchased in 1641, from the
Howard family, the MANOR OF LULWORTH,*
* The first possessors of this manor are said to
have been the DE LOLLEWORTHS; but the powerful |
family of the NEWBURGHS held it as early as the
reign of JOHN. CHRISTIAN, the sole heiress of
SIR ROGER NEWBURGH, carried the estate in 1514,
to her husband, SIR JOHN MARNEY, Lord Marney,
and her second daughter, and eventual heiress,
ELIZABETH MARNEY, marrying Thomas, Lord

Lineage.
Osborne de BOLEBEC, a noble Norman,
in the time of ROBERT, father of WILLIAM
the bastard, had two distinguished sons,
1. WALTER (Gualtier of the Norman
Chronicles) Compte de Longueville,
who assumed, for what reason has
not been ascertained, the surname of
Gyffarde. This gallant person ac-
quired great renown in the armies of
WILLIAM, achieving several signal
victories for Normandy, in the war
between that country and France.
When the duke, upon the accession
of Harold to the English throne, de-
sired to invade this island, many, in-
deed most of the Norman nobles held
cautiously back from proffering aid;
being wearied and impoverished by
the continued struggles in which
WILLIAM had been engaged since his
father's death. But a few staunch
friends, amongst the foremost of
whom was this Walter and his bro-
ther, coming nobly forward with offers
of men, ships, &c. the laggards were
thereby warmed to the undertaking,
and the expedition was accordingly
set on foot. In the subsequent suc-
cess of his chief, the Compte de Lon-
gueville largely participated; he ob-
tained no less than ONE HUNDRED AND
SEVEN LORDSHIPS in the conquered
country, and was constituted EARL
OF THE COUNTY OF BUCKINGHAM (for.
the line of this nobleman, see Burke's
Extinct and Dormant Peerage).
2. Osborne.

in placing England under the yoke of the

settled, and there subsequently a great castle
was built, (temp. STEPHEN) which continued
to be the residence of the family until it was
destroyed by the army of Edward II in the
Baronial war, anno 1322. This Osborne
died about the year 1086, and was s. by his
son,
HELIAS GIFFARDE, who was s. by his son,

The younger son,
Gilbert GiffARDE, was father of
Peter Giffarde, who m. in the reign of
HENRY II., Alice, sister of Peter Corbuchin,
and thus acquired the manors of Chillington
and Walton, in the county of Stafford. This
Peter was highly distinguished for his mili-
tary exploits in Ireland, under his kinsman

bow, EARL OF PEMBROKE,* and was rewarded
by a grant of land in that kingdom. He

gentleman m. about the beginning of the
fourteenth century, Catherine, daughter and
heiress of · Stafford de Marston; and
in her right became possessed of the manors
of Marston and Euson (near to the town
of Stafford), which are still held by the fa-
mily. He d. in 1371, and was s. by his
only son,
EDMUND GIFFARD, of Chillington, who
wedded a daughter of Venables, Lord of
Kinderton. This Edmund was living in
1378, but the time of his death is unascer-
tained. He was father of

William, archbishop of Rheins.
He wedded, secondly, Elizabeth Greyseley,
and had a daughter, Frances, who m. Sir
John Talbot, of Grafton. This Sir John
Giffard was five times sheriff of his native
county; and to him HENRY VIII. granted
the dissolved monastery of the Black La-
dies at Brewood in 1539. He d. in 1556,
and was s. by his son,
SIR THOMAS GIFFARD, who wedded, first,

the lifetime of his father, in 1530 and 1553.
He d. in 1560, and was s. by his eldest son,
John Giffard, esq. of Chillington. This
gentleman espoused Joyce, daughter of
James Leveson, of Lilleshall, by whom he
had a large family. He was sheriff of Staf-
fordshire in 1573,* and dying in 1612, was
s. by his eldest son,
WALTER GIFFARD, esq. of Chillington,
who m. in 1579, Philippa, daughter of Henry
White, esq. of Southwarnborough, in the
county of Southampton, and was s. at his
decease, 29th April, 1632, by his eldest son,

fight of Worcester. Boscobel was a lodge
of the Giffards, the Pendrels being merely
housekeepers, &c. and the tried loyalty of
that celebrated family ought rather to be
attributed to their attachment to their land-
lords and feudal superiors, than to any ab-
stract sense of duty to the king. For this
zealous devotion to his unhappy sovereign,
the whole of Mr. Giffard's property was
sequestered by the Drury House Commis-
sioners, and at the advanced age of seventy
he was himself obliged to seek a place of
concealment. He lived, however, to witness
happier days, and received (tardily though)
from the restored monarch a royal grant,
reinstating him in the whole of his noble
possessions. A few months after this act
of justice he executed a deed, by which he
surrendered every thing to his son WALTER,
reserving only for himself a small farm,
and such maintenance (with two servants)
as, saith the deed, "was becoming to a gen-
tleman of his quality." He did not long,
however, enjoy the calm this arrangement
seemed to promise. He lived but to see
his family replaced in the wealth, influence,
and honour, which were their heritage, and
died, "full of days," the 25th June, 1663.
His successor,
WALTER GIFFARD, esq. of Chillington, b.
in 1611; m. first, Anne, daughter of Sir
Thomas Holt, bart. of Aston, by whom he
had JOHN, his successor, with two other sons
and three daughters. He wedded, secondly,
Anne, daughter of Thomas Huggeford, esq.
of Solihull, but had no other issue. He d.
in 1688, and was s. by his eldest son,
JOHN GIFFARD, esq. of Chillington, b. in

Fitzherbert, esq. of Swinnerton, and dy-

who wedded, in 1688, Mary, daughter of
John Thimelby, esq. of Fornham, in the
county of Lincoln, but dying without issue,
in 1718, was succeeded by his kinsman,
PETER GIFFARD, esq. of Black Ladies,
(refer to John, second son of Peter, who
suffered during the civil wars, and died in
1663), who thus became of CHILLINGTON,
and representative of the family. He

The family of Loftus, or as it was anciently
spelt, Lofthouse, appears from the archives
of York Minster, to have flourished in York-
shire as early as the reign of ALFRED, and
the same records shew that Christopher
Lofthouse was prior of Helagh, in the same
county, anno 1460.

The second son,
ADAM LOFTUS, D.D. of Trinity College,
Cambridge, was consecrated in 1561, Arch-

WILLIAM LOFTUS, esq. of Wimpole Street,
London, and of Kilbride, in the county of
Wicklow, a general officer in the army,
colonel of the 2nd dragoon guards, and lieu-
tenant of the Tower of London, became,
upon the decease of Edward Loftus, esq. of
Anneville, in 1824, the head of the Loftus
family. This gallant soldier, at the time of
his death, was one of the oldest officers in
the service, having entered the army as
cornet, in the 9th dragoon guards, as early
as 1770. He eminently distinguished him-
self in the American War, taking an active
part in the memorable conflict of Bunker's
Hill, at the landing of New York, the at-
tack on Fort Washington, &c.
In 1794,
Captain Loftus raised, and was appointed
colonel of, the 24th light dragoons, and in
1796 was made a major-general, and ap-
pointed to the English Staff. In 1797, ĥe
was nominated to the Irish Staff and to the
command at Cork, and in the following year
we find him commanding, with distinction,
a brigade against the rebels, at Vinegar
Hill. He was subsequently and successively
appointed lieutenant-general in the army,
governor of Dumbarton Castle, and lieuten-
ant of the Tower of London. In 1813, he
obtained the rank of full general, and in
1821 the colonelcy, of the 2nd dragoon
guards.

SENHOUSE, OF NETHER HALL.
Lineage.
The family DE SEWYNHOUSE, DE SEVEN-
HOUSE, or DE SENHOUSE, derives its sur-
name from Hall Sevenhouse, or Senhouse,
a district of Cumberland. The first of its
members upon record,
liam Sevenhouse, which William was s. at
his decease by his son,
THOMAS DE SENHOUSE, whose name ap-
pears in the return of gentlemen of the
county of Cumberland, made in the 12th
HENRY VI. It is related that in a warm
altercation with a monk of Calder Abbey,
WALTER DE SEWYNHOUSE, had a grant of
the fifth part of the township of Bolton, in
the parish of Gosforth, from Alan de Coup-relative to his claim of a right to fish in the
land, and likewise a grant of other lands in
the same parish from William de Way-
berthwaite. These grants are both without
date, but both are witnessed by Sir Adam
de Lamplugh, knt. who lived in the times
of Kings RICHARD I. and JOHN. Walter
was s. by his son,
Walter de SevENHOUSE, who was wit-
ness to a deed, also without date, with Sir
Richard le Fleming, knt. who died about
the close of HENRY III.'s reign. This Wal-
ter was s. by his son,
NICHOLAS DE SEVENHOUSE, who was s. by
his son and heir, another
NICHOLAS DE SEVENHOUSE, who held the
hamlet of Newton, or Seascale, in the parish
of Gosforth, of Thomas de Multon, of Egre-
mont, as appears by the office of escheat
after the death of the said Thomas, bearing
date 15th EDWARD II. Nicholas de Seven-
house became possessed of the hamlet of
Newton in right of his wife, a daughter and
heiress of De Ponsonby, whose arms quar-
tered with those of De Sevenhouse, en-
graven on stone, are at present to be seen
on the manor hall of Seascale. He was s.
by his son,
NICHOLAS DE SEWYNHOUSE or DE SEN-
HOUSE, who had a grant of certain lands in
Bolton from James de Wayberthwaite, bear-
ing date 6th RICHARD II. and grants of cer-
tain other lands within the lordship of Bol-
ton Fell from William de Wayberthwaite,
formerly rector of Wayberthwaite, all dated
in the 14th of the same reign. He married,
as it would seem, a daughter and co-heiress
of Alan de Coupland, of Coupland and Sea-
ton, in the county of Cumberland, and was
s. by his son,
river Calder, this Thomas de Sevenhouse
was so highly exasperated that he hurled
the monk over the battlements of the bridge.
For this summary act of extra-judicial pro-
cess he was obliged to compound by a
heavy fine imposed upon his estates. He
m. a daughter of Sir Richard Hudleston, of
Millum Castle, in Cumberland, knight ban-
neret, and was s. by his son,
THOMAS SENHOUSE, who was a party with
Richard Hudleston, esq. of Millum Castle,
in an award made by his brother, Sir Simon
Senhouse, prior of Carlisle, 16th HENRY
VII. He was also, in the next year, a
party with William Stanley, esq. of Dale-
garth, in Cumberland, in another award
made by William Siveger, Lord Bishop of
Carlisle, 17th HENRY VII. He m. Eleanor,
daughter of John Lamplugh, esq. of Lamp-
lugh, and had JOHN, his successor, AN-
THONY, and Margaret, wife of John Stanley,
esq. of Dalegarth. This Thomas, as did his
father, enjoyed the family estates for half a
century. He was s. by his son,
JOHN SENHOUSE, who m. in 1528, Eliza-
beth, elder sister and co-heir of Richard
Eglesfield,+ son of Gawen Eglesfield, of
Alneburgh Hall, high sheriff of the county
of Cumberland in the 9th HENRY VIII.
(which Gawen was the descendant in a right
line from John de Eglesfield, the elder bro-
ther of Robert de Eglesfield, the FOUNder
of QUEEN'S COLLEGE, OXFORD.) This John
Senhouse received an ample pardon, by
* SIR SIMON SENHOUSE, prior of Carlisle, second
son of Thomas de Sevenhouse, by the daughter of
Hudleston. This reverend and learned person
caused the principal apartment in the tower of the
priory to be curiously painted with the paternal
crest, motto, and badge, as well as the motto of
his mother's (the Hudleston) family, together
with numerous emblematic devices, and pious
the legends of Saint Anthony, Saint Augustine,
ejaculations in prose and verse. He had likewise
and Saint Cuthbert, painted in the aisles of the
cathedral at Carlisle. He lies buried under a
marble tomb in the north side of the cathedral
church.
WILLIAM DE SEVENHOUSE, Who m. a daugh-
ter and co-heir of Lucy. Amongst the ar-
chives of the family of Senhouse is still
preserved a deed of conveyance from Alice
de Lucy, daughter and co-heir of Richard
de Lucy, of Egremont, by Ada de Morville,
his wife, to her second son, Sir John de
Lucy, high sheriff of the county of Cumber-
land for two years, 31st EDWARD I. and
knight of the shire for the same county 34th
of the same reign, from whom, by his wife + With her sister Anne, who m. John Bard-

letters patent, for all such crimes of a trea-
sonable nature as he had previously com-
mitted, and he was appointed, also by let-
ters patent, dated 7th ELIZABETH, escheator
of the counties of Cumberland and West-
moreland. He d. in 1568, leaving four sons,
viz.
I. THOMAS, who inherited all the patri-
monial estates of the family, and ac-
quired himself, in the 6th of ELIZA-
BETH, the advowson and right of
patronage of the rectory and parish
church of Gosforth. He m. Dorothy,
daughter of John Vaux, esq. of Cat-
terlen, in Cumberland, and was s. by
his son,
JOHN SENHOUSE, esq. of Seascale
Hall, who m. Mary, daughter of
William Fleming, esq. of Rydal,
in Westmoreland, and d. in 1636,
leaving issue,
1. JOHN, of Seascale, who m.
Anne, daughter and co-heir
of John Bimpson, esq. of
Shevington, in Lancashire,
by his wife, the sister
and co-heir of Sir Edward
Wrightington, knight, of
Wrightington, in the same
county. This John's name,
under the denomination of
"John Senhouse, esq. of Ec-
cleston," was inserted, 28th
October, 1652, in the addi-
tional bill for the sale of
lands and estates forfeited
to the commonwealth. His
eldest son, John, d. in the
lifetime of his father with-
out issue. His second son,
WRIGHTINGTON SENHOUSE
of Seascale Hall, who
was to have been one of
the Knights of the Royal
Oak, in 1660, was fa-
ther of
JOHN SENHOUSE, of
Seascale Hall, high
sheriff of Cumber-
land, 3rd of ANNE,
who m. Elizabeth,
dau. of John Bel-
lingham, esq.of Le-
vens, in Westmor-
land. This John
sold all the patri-
monial estates, and
his descendants be-
came EXTINCT in
the male line about
the middle of the
last century.
2. Joseph, founder of the Hall
Bolton family, which be-
came EXTINCT in the male
215
line about a hundred years
ago.
II. Peter, of Ellenborough Hall, who
was admitted to the freedom of the
city of London in 1562. To this Peter,
his aunt, Anne Bardsey, granted one
half of her moiety of the manor of
Alneburgh, otherwise Nether Hall.
He d. unmarried, and bequeathed his
estates to his brother John.
III. JOHN, of whom presently.
IV. Richard, incumbent of Claughton,
in Lancashire.
The third son,
JOHN SENHOUSE, succeeded his elder bro-
ther Peter, in his half moiety of the manor
of Ellenborough, and inherited from his
mother her moiety of the same. He had
saved that lady's life, at the imminent risk
of his own, from the certainty of being
drowned in the river Derwent. He inhe-
rited, likewise, his aunt Bardsey's half
moiety, and thus became eventually sole
proprietor of Alneburgh, or Ellenborough,
otherwise Netherhall. This John is the
person whom Camden mentions in his Bri-
tannia, as having collected with great indus-
try, numerous Roman stones, altars, lavers,
statues, with inscriptions, which he had
placed with much taste in his houses and
buildings; and as having entertained, in 1599,
the celebrated antiquary himself, and Sir
Robert Cotton, of Conington, with great
civility. He was steward of all the lord-
ships, manors, lands, &c. which formerly
belonged to the monastery of Holme-Cutt-
ram, in the county of Cumberland. He m.
Anne, daughter of John Ponsonby, esq. of
Hail Hall, and had, with other issue,
1. PETER, his successor.
2. Simon, who was murdered near Do-
venby, by Skelton, of Armathwaithe.
Skelton and himself are said to have
paid their addresses to the same lady,
who gave the preference to Simon,
and thereby so enraged Skelton, as to
excite him to so base an act of un-
merited vengeance.
3. Richard, in holy orders, D.D. fel-
low of St. John's, Cambridge, after-
wards dean of Gloucester, and conse-
crated in 1624, bishop of Carlisle.
Of this prelate it is related, that
"When he was a scholar at Cam-
bridge, coming into the country to
see his friends, his horse happened to
cast a shoe, and having no money to
to pay the smith withal,- 'Well,
well,' says the smith, 'go your ways,
and when you come to be bishop of
Carlisle, you'll pay me;' which he
did in abundance of gratuity; and
was a religious and honest pastor."

tion sermon before King CHarles I.

and the crew, prior to present-
ing the sword, carried him three
times round the deck in their
arms, giving him three cheers.
The sword was inscribed with
the words, "The good will of
the Unite Crew." Mr. Sen-
house had overheard some mu-
tinous expressions on their part,

feelings, and to produce an ebul-
lition alike honorable to them-
selves and him. He d. unmarried

Lineage.
This family is of great antiquity in the
north of England, and the senior branch,
now represented by Lord Ribblesdale, has
been seated at Gisburne for more than five
centuries.
JOHN LISTER, son of Thomas Lister, es-
poused, in 1312, Isabel, daughter and heiress
of John de Bolton, bowbearer of Bolland,
the lineal representative, according to Dug-
dale, of the Saxon Earls of Mercia. The
great-grandson of this marriage,
CHRISTOPHER LISTER, of Middop, m. in
the reign of Edward IV. Joan, daughter of
Sir William Calverley, of Calverley, and
had issue,
1. WILLIAM, of Middop, whose lineal
descendant,
Sir William Lister, knt. of Thorn-
ton, marrying Mary, daughter
of Sir Henry Bellasys, bart. of
Newborough, left at his decease,
in 1650, with other issue,
SIR MARTIN LISTER, knt. the
well-known physician. This
eminent person was born
at Thornton, in Craven, and
educated at Oxford, where
he became fellow of Oriel
College; but, travelling
abroad, he took the degree
of M.D. at Basil, and, in
1605, was incorporated at
Oxford, as the English uni-
versities allowed a more
universal communication of
honors with those on the
continent than is usual at
present. His family and
country recommended him
to Anne, Countess of Pem-
broke, whom he appears
to have served in the
double capacity of agent
and physician. By her re-
commendation he became
physician in ordinary to
Queen ANNE of Denmark,
and afterwards to King
CHARLES I. from whom he
received the honor of knight-
hood in 1636. Having even-
tually attained the highest
professional eminence, he
was appointed president of
the college of physicians.
He d. about 1657, at Bur-
well, in Lincolnshire, aged
ninety-two; an instance of
a constitution, which either
needed not the aids of his
own faculty, or proved their
efficacy.

3. Nicholas, d. s. p.
The second son,

THOMAS LISTER, married the daughter
and heiress of Roger de Cliderow, of Clide-
row, and had issue,

espoused Jane,* daughter of Thomas He-
ber, esq. of Marton, and dying in 1619, was
s. by his eldest son,
THOMAS LISTER, esq. of Westby, baptized
at Gisburn in 1604. This gentleman, during
the civil wars, espoused the cause of the
parliament, and was one of the commis-
sioners for the trial of King CHARLES. He
attended, however, only four of their meet-
ings, and never signed the warrant; from
which, it appears evident, that he did not
cordially approve of the course the pro-
ceedings were taking; and it was probably
in consideration of this circumstance, that
the family estates were exempted from for-
feiture at the restoration. He m. Cathe-
rine, daughter of Sir Richard Fletcher, knt.
of Hutton, in the county of Cumberland,
by whom (who espoused, after Mr. Lister's
decease, Sir John Assheton,† bart. of Whal-

ard Deane, esq. of Ovendenword, in
the county of York, and left at his
decease, in 1660, an only daughter

resides in that county.

Lineage.

The descent of this family is derived in a
direct male line from CEDIVOR, or CADIVOR,
prince or chieftain of Divet (Dunetia), a por-
tion of country which comprised Pembroke-
shire and part of Carmarthenshire, CADIVOR*
* Welch genealogists ascribe to this CHIEF a
most illustrious descent, but whatever doubts may
arise, as to the authenticity of his pedigree from
the obscurity of ancient manuscripts, and traditi-
onal accounts, it may be conceded, that his pos-
flourished about the period of the Norman
Conquest, and was buried in the priory of
Carmarthen. He espoused Ellen, daughter
and heiress of Lwchlawen, the great Lord
of Kilsant, and had a son BLEDRI, Lord of
Blaencuch, who m. Clydwen, daughter and

PAPILLON, OF ACRISE.
Lineage.
In Dugdale's Monas: we find TORALDUS
DE PAPILLON one of the witnesses to a deed
of confirmation, granted by WILLIAM the
Conqueror to the church of Durham.
In the reign of King JOHN
RALPH PAPILLON was elected Abbot of
Westminster. This eminent divine, one of
the most eloquent preachers of his time,
rose to distinction under the protection of
the Abbot Lawrence, by whom, according
to Leland, he was appointed Prior of Hur-
ley, a cell of Westminster. He is said to
have written a volume of sermons, and
another of homilies, on the epistles and gos-
pels, of which Leland speaks in high terms
of encomium. He d. in 1225.
WILLIAM PAPILLON, one of King EDWARD
the First's most devoted servants, was re-
commended by his royal master, in the 31st
year of his reign, to the abbet and convent
of Leicester, for a corrody from that house.
This William Papillon is supposed to have
founded the family of Papillon, of Lubben-
ham, in Leicestershire, being lineal an-
cestor of
THOMAS PAPILLON, who espoused Jane
Viene de la Pierre, and who was succeeded
at his decease, 20th November, 1608, by his
eldest son,
DAVID PAPILLON, of Lubenham. This
gentleman obtained a license, dated 23rd
May, 1623, from Archbishop Abbot per-
mitting himself and his family to frequent
the church at Merston, in the county of
Northampton, as being nearer than their
own parish church of Lubenham, with a
proviso, however, that they should once at
least in the year (at Easter) attend the latter,
to hear prayers and preaching there, and to
receive the sacrament.
Mr. Papillon published, in 1645, "A
Practical Abstract of the Arts of Fortifica-
tion and Assailing, containing four different
methods of fortification, with approved rules

The family of FOUNTAINE was originally | ing Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of Wil-
of Salle, in Norfolk, and assumed the sur-
name of De Fonte, or Fontibus, from the
springs or fountains near which they resided.
The first upon record who assumed the
designation,
JOHN DE FONTE, called also De Fontibus
de Salle, who flourished in the latter end of
the reign of HENRY III. was much in favor
with Roger Bigod, Earl of Norfolk. He
died in the beginning of EDWARD the First's
time, and was s. by his eldest son,
ROBERT DE FONTIBUS, of Salle, whose
great grandson,
JOHN FFUNTEYN, of Salle, was returned in
1430, as one of the chief gentlemen of the
county. He was a principal benefactor, if
not sole founder of the north aisle and north
transept of the present church of Salle,
wherein he lies buried with his three wives.
He d. in 1453, and was s. by his eldest son,
MATTHEW FFUNTEYN, of Salle, who consi-
derably increased his patrimony, by marry-

ELIZABETH.
The eldest son,
SIR ANDREW FOUNTAINE, evinced an early
taste for the antiquarian pursuits, in which
he was afterwards so eminently distin- |
guished. While at Christ's Church, Oxford,
he drew up a list of Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-
Danish coins, published in 1705, in Hicke's
Thesaurus Septentrionalis. He subse-
quently formed, upon his travels, a fine col-
lection of pictures, medals, and antiquities.
From King WILLIAM III. he received the
honor of knighthood, and in 1727, upon
the
lamented death of Sir Isaac Newton, suc-
ceeded that eminently learned person in the
|
225
office of warden of the Mint. He was like-
wise vice-chamberlain to Queen Caroline,
and tutor to Prince WILLIAM. Sir Andrew
Fountaine was practically acquainted with
the fine arts, and made some designs for
Swift's "Tale of a Tub."

JODRELL, OF YEARDSLEY.
Lineage.
The surname of CLERK or CLARK, a com-
mon one throughout Europe, is in Scotland
one of great antiquity; and was probably
assumed from some office bearing the de-
signation. It is a matter of notoriety, that
there were many free barons and men of
great possessions and power of the name
of Clark, in very early times. Sir James
Dalrymple cites a charter (prior to the year
1180) of King WILLIAM of a donation to the
abbacy of Holyrood House, and among the
witnesses (who are all men of rank) are
Hugo Clericus regis; Hugo Clericus cancel-
larii; Johannes Clericus, &c. &c. In 1296,
Richardus Clerk submitted to EDWARD I.
and in the same year Benedict Clerk, a man
of rank and figure, was carried prisoner to
London for refusing to swear allegiance to
the English monarch; and Mariota, his lady,
obtained a safe conduct to visit him in Eng-
land. At the battle of Durham, William
Clerk was taken prisoner, and remained in
captivity until released in 1357, with his
sovereign DAVID II. The clan of Chattan,
and some of the best Highland families,
claim to be descended from the CLERKS;
and from charters under the great seal, it
appears that various families of this surname
have held extensive possessions from a very
remote era. The house we are about to
treat of, is supposed to be descended from
ALANUS CLERK, a free baron of Perthshire,
one of the inquest on the service of Sir
Alexander Moray, of Abercairny, anno
| 1349.
ANDREW CLARK, esq. of Comries and

the elder male line since 1750, but repre-
sented through females by the present Mr.

ley, in the county of Chester, as early as the
times of EDWARD III. or RICHARD II.
The first of the name on record was pos-
sessed of lands in Derbyshire, within the
manor of High Peak, 14th EDWARD I. His
great grandson,
WILLIAM JAUDERELL, the immediate ances-
tor of the family, served as an archer under
EDWARD the Black Prince, in the French
Wars. He had his pass for England, 29th
EDWARD III. and is supposed to have sub-
sequently become possessed of lands in the

titulary Lord Methven.
Lineage.
The surname of SMITH is of great antiquity
in Scotland, and has at different times been
written SMYT, SMYTHE, and SMITH. The
house of Smith, traditionally, owes its
origin to the Clan CHATAN, being descended,
it is asserted, from NEIL CROMB, third son
of Murdoch, of that clan, who flourished in
the time of WILLIAM the Lion. The family,
of which we are about to treat, derives from
THOMAS SMITH, who, having applied his
talents to the study of physic, attained high
eminence in the medical profession, and
was appointed apothecary to King JAMES III.
as appears by a charter bearing date 29th
January, 1477. He was father of
PATRICK SMITH, Of Braco, in the county of
Perth, who lived temp. JAMES IV. and was s.
by his son,
WILLIAM SMITH, of Braco, who, with the
special consent of King JAMES V. had a

Warkland, &c. from Patrick, Bishop of
Murray, perpetual commendator of Scoon.

wearie, in Fife, and relict of Christopher
Snel, of Balgarvie, by whom he had a son,

tian, daughter of Haldane, of Killour, and
had issue,

of the Laird of Pitfogo, by whom he
left at his demise, in 1603 (his father
then living), two sons, viz.
1. PATRICK, Successor to his grand-
father.
2. Andrew, who had acquired the
estate of Rapness, in Orkney,
where he married, and had issue,
GEORGE, of Rapness, who m.

Ludquhairn, and the other
to Mr. Leith, of Aberdeen.

man and his brother Andrew, being young
at their grandfather's decease, were placed
under the guardianship of George Graham,
then minister of Scoon, who, being subse-
quently consecrated bishop of Orkney, took
his pupils thither, where they both settled.
The Laird of Braco espoused first, in 1618,
Catherine Graham, daughter of his excellent
guardian, by whom he had, with other issue,

in Perthshire, and acquired likewise, the

from various and authentic records.

Lineage.
The name of HOMFRAY is derived from the
French words "HOMME VRAI," and the se-
veral families of HUMFREY, various as the
spelling may be, claim a common proge-
nitor. The branch, of which we are now
about to treat, is the only one, however,
which has preserved the correct ortho-
graphy.
The HOMFRAYS were distinguished amongst
the soldiers of the Cross, and they were
eminent in the early wars of the Plantage-
net Kings. The portrait of John Homfray,
living in 1390, and a gallant warrior of that
day, is still preserved in the British Mu-
seum.

near Rotherham, in Yorkshire, in 1590, was

mere family, and left a son,

Mr. Bond lately represented Corfe Castle in parliament, and was high sheriff of

Lineage.
The family of Bond were of great anti-
quity in the county of Cornwall,* and are
said to have been originally seated at Pen-
ryn in that county, but removed thence,
* "Bond, of Cornwall, a very ancient family,
from whom those of London are descended.".
Guillim's Heraldry, edit.—In the pedigree of Sir
Thomas Bond, bart. in the college of arms, drawn
up in the year 1669, his ancestor, William
Bond, of Buckland, in the county of Somerset, is
described as being "ex antiquissima Bondorum
stirpe in Provincia Cornubiæ oriundus."
+ Mr. Bond has an old MS. pedigree on vel-
lum, dated 1636, which deduces their descent
from a Norman, who came in at the Conquest,
and married the daughter and heiress of Bond, of
Penryn, in Cornwall: and in Anderson's pedi-
gree, of Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, we find
that Hugh Fitz Roger, second son of Roger de
Courcil, (a follower of William the Conqueror,
|
at a very early period, to Earth, in the pa-
rish of St. Stephens, an estate they acquired
in marriage with the daughter and heiress
of a very ancient house, which took its name
from that place. †
From this match descended
ROBERT BOND, of Earth, who is stated to
have had three sons,
Thomas, who died s. p. m.
ROBERT, of whom hereafter, and
Richard, of Earth, who m. in 1434,
12th HENRY VI. Agnes, second
daughter and co-heiress of Richard
Maynard, and their posterity were
still residing at Earth at the visita-
tion of Cornwall, anno 1620. The
Bonds, of Holwood, in the same
county, were a younger branch of
those of Earth, and are now repre-
sented by Thomas Bond, esq. of East
Looe, in the county of Cornwall.

and who obtained from him extensive estates in
Somersetshire, Dorsetshire, and Wiltshire, as ap-
pears by Domesday), espousing the sister and
heiress of Bond, lord of Fisherton, their offspring
assumed the surname and arms of that family,
viz. sa. a fess or, and hence came the family of
Bond. This Bond (or Bondi as he is called in
Domesday book) appears to have been a Saxon,
and is mentioned in that record as holding Fisher-
ton, in Wilts, as well as other lordships in Dorset
and Somerset, as early as the time of EDWARD the
Confessor.
"In following the course of the Lyner, you
falle downe by Master Bond's ancient house at
Earthe, descended to his ancestors from a daugh-
ter and heir of that name.”
The second son,

ROBERT BOND, removed to Beauchamp's
Hache, in Somersetshire, and in the year
1431 (9th HENRY VI.) was seated at Lut-
ton, in the Isle of Purbeck, in the county
of Dorset, an estate he acquired in mar-
riage with the daughter and heiress of à
family of that name, and which has ever
since continued in the possession of his des-
cendants. He had issue two sons, viz.
ROBERT, his successor.

Somerset, who was father of

his ample possessions in Dorset and
Somerset were divided amongst his
three daughters and co-heirs. Edith,
the eldest daughter, married in 1613,
Sir White Beckonshaw, knt. of
Moyles Court, in the county of Hants,
by whom she had only two daughters
his co-heirs; Alice, the eldest of

able to bring in their brethren of Scotland for the
settling of God's cause. "I say this is God's cause,

branch was,

Lineage.
The family of LEIGHTON was in England

Sepulchre, son and heir of Cuthbert, and
grandson and heir of Totilus de Leighton,
was a co-founder, upon his return from the
Holy Land, of the Abbey of Buldewas, in
Salop, of which mention is made in some
old manuscripts written by Roger and John
Challingworth. The son of this gallant
knight,
SIR RICHARD DE LEIGHTON, knt. had a
reconveyance of the manor of Leighton from
William Fitz Allan soon after the Conquest,
and out of this manor, which lay close to
the Abbey of Buldewas, Sir Richard gave
lands to that house, as appears by his grant
without date, inserted in Dugdale's Monas-
ticon, prior to that in which King STEPHEN
confirmed the said abbey. From this Sir
Richard we pass over a long line of distin-
guished individuals to

Lineage.

This ancient family, which was seated at
CALMADY, in Cornwall, at a very remote
period, appears to have removed into De-
vonshire about the beginning of the six-
teenth century.
JOHN CALMADY, of Calmady, living in
1460, was father of
CALMADY, who is supposed to have
married the daughter of Francis Vincent.

of Combshead, of whom here-
after, as successor to the repre-
sentation and estates of the
branch of Langdon.
Sir Shilston Calmady was killed at the
siege of Ford House during the civil wars.
His widow survived him, and dying in 1663
was buried in Brideston church, where the
following curious epitaph is to be seen upon
her tomb:
"
Eight living branches still are springing found,
Though here the root lies dead within the ground.
Two husbands in their tombs divided lie,
Who both did in the bed of honor die
;
But now the king of terrors, oh unjust,
At length has laid their HONOR in the dust,
Till that which here is in dishonor sown
Be raised in HONOR to a glorious throne."

mindful of their wants, bequeathing twelve
pence per week, in second bread, to the
poor of the parish of Wembury, for ever,
payable out of the rents in Colebrook, now
the property of Earl Morley, to be distri-issue,

same to be applied to the relief of the parish,
according to the provisions of his will;
which money has since been expended in
the purchase of an estate, Higher Egcumb,
and Rumsdown, in the parish of Milton

male issue, was s. by his nephew,

died unmarried, and bequeathed his estates
to his youngest sister,

Mr. Bracebridge succeeded to the representation of the family at the decease of his
father, 21st August, 1832.
Lineage.
This family derives from TURCHILL DE
WAREWICK, a Saxon, who, at the period of
the CONQUEST, had the reputation of an
EARL, and its present representative still
retains of the original possessions of this
ancestor a rent charge in Kingsbury, the
principal seat of the said TURCHILL. Dug-
dale says, that this noble Saxon, who was
descended from Guy, Earl of Warwick and
King Ethelstan, in imitation of the Norman
and his followers, assuming a surname,
adopted that of ARDEN, a designation given
to a woodland tract of the county of War-
wick.

county of Warwick, and by her had a son,
OSBERT DE ARDEN, whose service for the
manor of Kingsbury, RANUPH, Earl of
Chester, granted in the time of STEPHEN, to

BRACEBRIDGE, OF ATHERSTONE HALL.
Robert Marmion, of Tamworth Castle, and
his heirs. This Osbert had issue,
OSBERT, his successor.

by the Justices Itinerant, in Lincolnshire,
for not being a knight, he obtained a special
mandate to the barons of the Exchequer,
AMICIA, of whom presently, as heir to for acquitting him of that penalty. Subse-
her nieces.
The son,
Osbert de ARDEN, Lord of Kingsbury,
had two daughters, his co-heirs, namely,
ADELIZA DE ARDEN, wife of Simon de
Harcourt
and
AMABIL DE ARDEN, wife of Robert Fitz
Walter.
These ladies dying both issueless, the lord-
ship of Kingsbury devolved upon their aunt,
AMICIA DE ARDEN, wife of
PETER DE BRACEBRIDGG, who had as-
sumed his surname from a place so called,
near Lincoln, of which he was LORD. "This
Peter," says Dugdale, "was a militarie
man, for I find that he gave unto William,
the son of Fundus, and his heirs, certain
lands within the precinct of this lordship, to
the intent that the said William should,
upon lawful warning, carry hither to
Kingsbury, such painted lances from Lon-
don or Northampton at the charge of him,
the said Peter, as he might have occasion
to use in any tourneament then, and that
whensoever the said Peter should take a
journey beyond sea, for performance of
such martial exploits, he the said William
should attend to bring back his lances."
Peter Bracebridgg and his wife confirmed a
grant of lands, and the advowson of Kings-
bury Church, made by Osbert de Arden, to
the nuns of Mergate. The validity of this
grant was afterwards, unsuccessfully, con-
tested by Sir Ralph de Bracebridge. Peter
was s. at his decease by his elder son,
JOHN DE BRACEBRIDGG, Lord of Kings-
bury, who encountered much difficulty in
defending his inheritance from his cousin,
Thomas de Arden; but eventually_suc-
ceeded. He d. issueless, in the 2nd of HEN-
RY III. and his estates devolved upon his
brother,
WILLIAM DE BRACEBRIGG, Lord of Kings-
bury, who was constituted, in the 19th of
HENRY III. a justice of assize at Warwick.
This William confirmed to the monks of
Merevale the grant of a yard land in Holt,
made to them by John, his deceased brother;
and whatsoever else the said John had given
to that monastery. He was s. at his decease
by his son,
Sir Ralph de BRACEBRIGG, knt. Lord of
Kingsbury, who received the honor of knight-
hood in the 33rd of HENRY III. He left at
his decease, a daughter, Matilda, m. to Tho-
mas de Clinton, and a son, his successor,
SIR JOHN DE BRACEBRIGG, knt, who in the
40th of HENRY III. paid a fine of two marks
in gold to the king, that his knighthood
might be postponed for three years; during
which dispensation being amerced at a mark

quently adhering to the barons, who took
up arms in the 48th of this reign, he was
made prisoner by the royal army, at the sur-
prisal of Northampton, confined at Shrews-
bury, and compelled to surrender his lord-
ship to Roger de Clifford. Obtaining his
liberty he fled with the younger Simon de
Montford, to the Isle of Arholme, where he
remained until the total discomfiture of his
party, when submitting, he regained his
lands under the “Dictum de Kenilworth.”
He fell afterwards into such pecuniary em-
barrassments, owing to the heavy fines he
had to pay, that he was obliged to make a
lease of nearly his whole lordship, to Robert
de Typetot. He was s. at his decease by
his son,
SIR JOHN DE BRACEBRIGG, knt. who in
the 3rd of EDWARD II. had a special patent
from the crown, exempting him from serv-
ing upon juries, or executing the offices of
sheriff, escheator, coroner, &c. He d. in
six years afterwards, leaving a son,
SIR JOHN DE BRACEBRIGG, who was s. by
(his supposed uncle),
SIR RALPH DE BRACEBRIGG, knt. who in
the 11th of EDWARD III. levied a fine of two
parts of the manor of Kingsbury; and in
the 19th of the same monarch, had a mili-
tary summons to attend the king with horse
and arms into France.
In three years
afterwards he had an especial patent of ex-
emption from the offices of sheriff, escheator,
&c. He was s. by his son,
SIR JOHN DE BracebrigG, knt. at whose
decease the estates devolved upon his brother,
SIR RALPH DE BRACEBRIGG, knt. styled in
an inquisition taken in the 1st of HENRY IV.
"Frater Johannis de Bracebrigg Militis."
In the 7th of HENRY V. Sir Ralph was sum-
moned the first amongst other persons of
note, Arma portantes, de armis antiquis,"
as expressed in the writ, to attend the king
in person, for the defence of the realm. In
the same year he took a lease of the manor
house, park, &c. at Lutton, of Richard
Beauchamp, then Earl of Warwick, to hold
for life. He was afterwards retained by the
said earl, who was lieutenant-general of
France, to serve him with nine lances and
seventeen archers in defence of Calais.
This Sir Ralph de Bracebrigg, it appears,
(from an old MS. book of Sir Simon Archer,
the antiquarian friend of Dugdale) in 1414,
attended, with eleven other knights of
ancient family, Henry V. to Paris, on the
occasion of the coronation of Charles VI.
of France. His son,
RALPH BRACEBRIGG, of Kingsbury, es

father, but having, according to Dug-

from Scotland to London, and was created

Of this baronet Dugdale says, that " by
him was enclosed a fair park here, (at
Aston,) and a noble fabrick therein erected,

which, for beauty and state, much exceedeth
any in these parts." In 1643 he bravely
defended this house against 1,200 of the
rebel army, and thereby enabled King
Charles, who was then his guest, to escape.
He submitted, after inflicting a loss of 60
men upon the enemy. Aston Hall still
bears the marks of the cannon shot. Sir
Thomas was fined by the parliament for his
loyalty, in the sum of £4,401. 2s. 4d. as
appears from Doing's Catalogue (published
1655) of the Lords, Knights, and Gentlemen,
who compounded for their estates. Sir
Thomas d. in 1654, and was s. by (the

the present
CHARLES-HOLTE BRACEBRIdge,
esq.
Sir Charles died in 1782, when the BA-
RONETCY became EXTINCT. Under the
will of Sir Lister, who died in 1769, the
manors of Brereton and Aston were settled
on his brother, Sir Charles, for his life,
with remainder to his issue male; remainder
to H. Legge, esq. and his issue male; re-
mainder to L. Bagot, Bishop of Norwich,
and his issue male; remainder to W.
Digby, esq. and his issue male; and, lastly,
remainder to the right heirs of the said Sir
Lister Holte. Sir Charles left only one
daughter, and the estates, thus in reversion,
were estimated at about £800,000, in fee.
In 1817, an act of parliament was obtained
for the dismemberment of the estates, to
satisfy the claims of the assignees and mort-
gagees of Abraham Bracebridge, esq. and
other family claims, as well as to indemnify
Mr. Legge and Mr. Digby, (both being
without heirs male,) for the resignation of
their respective interests. Under this act
the estates have been sold.

Mr. Wellwood s. to the estates upon the demise issueless of his brother in 1820.
Lineage.
The Wellwoods of Touch and Garvock
are of long standing, and considerable anti-
quity. They were originally nobles of Den-
mark, but the degree of rank which they
enjoyed in that kingdom, before their settle-
ment in Scotland, cannot now be ascer-
tained. The name, anciently written Ve-
loved, Velvod, Welwod, was brought into
North Britain by a Danish courtier, en-
trusted by the King of Denmark with the
conduct to Scotland of his daughter, Prin-
cess Anne, the queen consort to King JAMES VI.
This honorable personage, bearing the name
of VELVUD, received from his royal mistress
the lands of Souch (which have ever since
formed part of the estate), and the armorial
bearings of the house.
VELVUD OF TOUCH, son of the founder,
left two sons, viz.
1. WILLIAM, his heir.
2. Henry, whose son,
SIR THOMAS WELLWOOD, b. in 1652,
was a physician, and an historical
writer of eminence. He studied
at Glasgow, whence he removed
into Holland with his parents, who
were compelled to flee from Scot-
land, in consequence of being sus-
pected of aiding in the murder of
Archbishop Sharpe. Having com-
pleted his education at Leyden,
and taken the degree of M.D., he
returned with King WILLIAM at
the revolution. Being involved in
debt, he borrowed money about
this time from the Laird of Gar-
vock, his cousin, promising to re-
pay him when he should come to
London. Garvock, contrary to his
expectations, did visit that city
some years subsequently, when Dr.
Wellwood presented his relation at
court, as the chief of his family,
but never paid the debt. Dr.
Thomas Wellwood was afterwards
knighted, and appointed one of the
royal physicians for Scotland. He
attained great eminence in his pro-
fession, and acquired a consider-
able fortune. Sir Thomas Well-
wood was author of Memoirs of
England, from the year 1588 to
1688, 8vo.: a work of merit, though
occasionally tinctured with the pre-
judices and prepossessions of one,
who had been a sufferer in the civil
contests of the period to which his
History refers. He d. in 1716.
The elder son of the second possessor of
Souch,
WILLIAM WELLWOOD, esq. of Touch, es-
poused, in 1635, Margaret, youngest daugh-
ter of Nichol Wardlaw of Wester-Luscar,

WELLWOOD OF GARVOCK.
and great-grandaughter, paternally, of the
head of that most ancient house, Sir Alex.
Wardlaw, of Torrie, by Lady Agnes Leslie,
daughter of the Earl of Rothes, and was s.
by his son,
ROBERT WELLWOOD, esq. of Touch, who
acquired the estate of Garvock, in addition
to his patrimonial property. He m. about
the year 1690, Catherine, sixth daughter of
John Denham, esq. of Muirhouse and Shiels,
by whom he had two sons,
HENRY, his heir.
ROBERT, Successor to his brother.
The elder son,
HENRY WELLWOOD, esq. of Garvock,
dying unmarried, left to the son of his bro-
ther's daughter, Sir Henry Moncrieff, the
castle and estate of Tulliebole, upon condi-
tion that he bore the surname of Wellwood,
and quartered the Moncrieff coat with the
Wellwood arms. The other estates, of Gar-
vock and Touch, passed, on Henry's death,
to his brother,
ROBERT WELLWOOD, esq. of Garvock,
who had issue,
ROBERT, his heir.
Catherine, m. to Sir William Moncrieff,
bart. and had, with other issue,
SIR HENRY WELLWOOD-MONCRIEFF,
bart. an eminent divine, who in-
herited from his uncle, as stated
above, the castle and lands of
Tulliebole. He espoused Susan,

KINGSCOTE, OF KINGSCOTE.
KINGSCOTE, ROBERT, esq. of Kingscote, in the county of Gloucester, b. 15th
April, 1754, Colonel of the North Gloucester militia.
Colonel Kingscote succeeded his uncle in 1773, and never having married, entailed
his estates upon the children of his brother, the late Thomas Kingscote, esq.
Lineage.
"It may be said," says Smythe, of Nib-
ley, "of this family, as doubtless of noe
other in the county of Gloucester, nor, I
think of many others in this kingdome, that
the present Mr. Kingscote, and his lineal
ancestors have continued in this manor
nowe about 500 yeares, never attainted, nor
dwellinge out of it elsewhere, nor hath the
tide of his estate higher or lower flowed or
ebbed, in better or worse condition; but
like a fixed star in his firmament to have
remained without motion in this his little
orbe, without any remarkable change; and
as to the name of the first ancestor that is
not perished, ANSGERUS; it importeth that
it is hereditary Saxon."
This
ANSGERUS, living in 985, was grand-
father of
NIGELL FITZ-ARTHUR, who wedded Ade-
va, daughter of Robert Fitz-Hardinge,
grandson of SUENO, the third KING OF DEN-
MARK, by EVA, niece of WILLIAM the Con-
queror. With this lady he received as
dower the manor of Kingscote, (called in
Domesday Book, CHINGESCOTE), and he had
by her, two sons,
ADAM, his heir.
Robert, living in 1241, who had issue,
NIGELL, eventually inheritor of
Kingscote.
RICHARD, heir to his brother.
The elder son,
ADAM DE KINGSCOTE, of Kingscote, had
a confirmation of that manor in 1188, from
his uncle, Lord Maurice Fitz-Hardinge.
He d. and was buried in Bristol cathe-
dral, and was s. by his only son,
RICHARD DE KINGSCOTE, of Kingscote,
who died issueless in 1241, and was s. by
his kinsman,
NIGELL DE KINGSCOTE, who thus became
"of Kingscote." This Nigell was s.
brother,
by his
RICHARD DE KINGSCOTE, of Kingscote,
living in 1286, father of
NIGELL DE KINGSCOTE, of Kingscote, mas-
ter of the horse under Maurice, second
Lord Berkeley, who died in the 12th of
EDWARD II. and was s. by his son,
WILLIAM DE KINGSCOTE, of Kingscote,
living in 1329, father of
NICHOLAS DE KINGSCOTE, of Kingscote, a
gallant soldier, who accompanied King
EDWARD III. in his French wars, and was
present at the battle of PoICTIERS. His son
and heir,
WILLIAM (or HENRY) DE KINGSCOTE,
adopting like his father the profession of
arms, shared in the glory of AzINCourt.
He was s. by his grandson,
WILLIAM KINGSCOTE, of Kingscote, who
wedded the daughter of Byres, and was

282
HELYAR, OF COKER COURT.
Lineage.
This family came originally from the
county of Devon, where it appears to have
been of importance, for we find one WIL-
LIAM HELYAR representing Melcomb-Regis
in parliament, in the reigns of RICHARD II.
and HENRY IV. In 1616,
|
WILLIAM HELYAR, archdeacon of Barn-
staple, in the diocese of Exeter, and canon
residentary of the Cathedral of St. Peter's
in that city, purchased the manor of EAST
COKER, with the advowson of the parish of
Hardington Mandeville, from Sir Robert
Phelips. In this parish he subsequently
built an alms-house for twelve poor men
and women, and endowed it with an estate
in the parish of Whitchurch, in the county
of Dorset. Archdeacon Helyar, who had
been chaplain to Queen ELIZABETH, was one
of the first Fellows of Chelsea College, no-
minated by King JAMES I. He was made
canon of the church of Exeter, in 1602, and |
became archdeacon in 1605. When the
rebels during the civil war, were ravaging
the cathedral and plundering the royalists
at Exeter, the venerable canon, then be-
tween eighty and ninety years of age, was
dragged from his bed at midnight, and hur-
ried on board a ship, where he was detained
in close custody, subjected to the most bar-
barous treatment, until he had consented to
pay the sum of eight hundred pounds for his
redemption. The following is a copy of the
protection he thus purchased. "Whereas
Archdeacon Helyar has submitted and sent
eight hundred pounds to the parliament upon
the propositions. These are therefore, to
require all the forces of the parliament to
take notice thereof and to protect him in his
person, family, and goods, strictly charging
and commanding that no man henceforth,
molest or trouble him. January 19, 1642,
signed, Jo. Northcote, Sam. Rolle," &c. &c.
Archdeacon Helyar, m.
and had
a son,
HENRY, who d. 18th April, 1634, (his fa-
ther being still living,) leaving (with
younger children) by his wife Chris-
tian, daughter of William Cary, esq.
of Clovelly, in the county of Devon,

father.
The Archdeacon d. in 1645, and was s. by
his grandson,
WILLIAM HELYAR, esq. of East Coker, b.
8th March, 1621. This gentleman, who was
a zealous cavalier, and raised a body of horse
at his own expense, for the royal army, was
obliged to compound for his lands, by pay-
ing a fine of £1522. He wedded Rachel,
daughter of Sir Hugh Wyndham, bart. of
|
Pitsdon, in the county of Dorset, by whom
(who d. 29th May, 1678,) he had, with
other children who all d. young,

Thomas Dalrymple Hesketh, bart. of Rufford Hall.
Mr. Horton inherited the estates at the decease of his father in December, 1830.
Lineage.
The antiquity of the family of HORTON
is established by the fact, that one ROBERT
DE HORTON, manumitted a bondman to his
manor of Horton, long before the time of
Henry Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, who died in
1310; it is also ascertained that the Hortons
had a manor house in Great Horton, with
a mill and certain demesne lands thereunto
belonging, at a very remote period.

above mentioned Robert, living in 1603,
wedded Elizabeth, dau. of Thomas Hanson,

still in France. In a pedigree in the He-
rald's College, the mode of spelling it varies.
It seems to have been written, indifferently,
Margesson, Margetson, and Margeston;
and we find it so varied in some MS.
writings in the British Museum. Whit-
taker, in his History of Richmondshire,
calls the Archbishop of Armagh (of this
family) Margerison, while in Thoresby's
Diary, he is styled Margaretson. The fa-

educated at St. Peter's College,
Cambridge. His first preferment
was the living of Watlass, in his
native county; but he soon after-
wards became chaplain of the cele-
brated EARL OF STRAFFORD, and
went over to Ireland with that
nobleman, then constituted lord
lieutenant, when he was made
Dean of Christ Church, Dublin.
Dr. Margesson lived in seclusion
during the usurpation. He was
consecrated Archbishop of Dublin
in 1660, and translated to Armagh
in 1663. His grace founded a free-
school at his native place; and
dying in 1678, was buried in
Christ Church, Dublin. He left
several children.

The second son,
RICHARD MARGETSON, of Rotherham, m.

Newdigate, with whom, acquiring consi-
derable estates in Surrey, he settled in that
county. The family of Newdigate pos-
sessed the greater part of Leith Hill, with
the manor of Wootton; and a large pro-
portion of the lands upon this hill belonged,
within these few years, to the Margessons.
The manor has passed to another pro-
prietor, but some part of the landed pro-
perty still remains in the adjoining manor
of OCKLEY. The great-great grandson of

Lineage.
The family of SANDYS, or SANDES, was
anciently seated at St. Bees, in Cumber-
land. In 1377 Richard del Sandys and Sir
Robert Moubray were returned knights of
that shire. And subsequently other mem-
bers of the house of Sandys enjoyed the
same honor.
WILLIAM, or JOHN SANDES, espoused the
daughter of Bonham, and was father of a
daughter, Margaret, the wife of the Right
Hon. Richard Bray, and mother of Sir Re-
ginald Bray, K. G. standard bearer to King
HENRY VIII. and a son,
WILLIAM SANDYS, who wedded Margaret,
daughter and heiress of William Rawson,
of the county of York, and had, with two
younger, whose issue is now extinct, his suc-
cessor,
GEORGE SANDYS, who m. Margaret Cur-
wen, and was s. at his demise, in 1584, by
his son,
WILLIAM SANDYS, who espoused Marga-
ret, daughter of John Dixon, and had issue,

Scotch in 1547.

This very eminent prelate died in
1558, and from him lineally descended
SAMUEL SANDYS, esq. chancellor of
the Exchequer in the reign of
GEORGE II., who was elevated
to the peerage, as BARON SAN-
DYS, of Ombersley, in 1743; a
dignity that expired with his son
and successor, Edwin, LORD
SANDYS, in 1797, when the es-
tates of the family devolved upon
the last lord's niece,
MARY SANDYS, then consort
of Arthur, second Marquess
of Downshire. Her lady-
ship was subsequently (in
1802) elevated to the peer-
age herself, as BARONESS
SANDYS, of Ombersley, (see
Burke's Peerage).

estate he removed to in 1555. He d.
in 1590, and was s. by his son,

EDWIN SANDYS, esq. of Esthwaite. This
gentleman espoused Grace, daughter of
Robert Wyvell, esq. of Great Burton, in
Yorkshire, by whom (who d. in 1612) he
left an only son, SAMUEL. In 1600, Mr
Sandys had a release from Robert, son of
George Sandys, the eldest of the six sons, of
his grandfather, of all title, claim, and right
in the lands of Esthwaite. His will bears
date 8th June, 1625, and was proved the

scendants it was purchased in 1512, by
Henry Longmore, and John Moseley of
Wittington. The former, in 1514, gave the

Wrottesley, in 1590, and from that period it
has continued to be possessed by the family.
The Buildwas estates, together with the
dissolved monastery of Buildwas, exchanged
by King HENRY VII. in 1546, for the lands

for cultivating the geology and mineralogy of Cornwall, of the latter he was chosen in
a short time president, and he subsequently succeeded Sir Humphrey Davy in the
chair of the Royal Society. In 1804 he was returned to parliament by the borough
of Helstone, in his native county, and in 1806, by that of Bodmin, which he has since
continued to represent. Upon most questions of a practical nature, and upon all con-
nected with practical and useful science Mr. Gilbert's judgment has had considerable
influence in the decisions of the House of Commons, and upon these topics he is es-
teemed by all parties an authority. Mr. GILBERT adopted that surname by sign
manual, in place of his own patronimic (Giddy), in consequence of his marriage with
the heiress of GILBERT.
FAMILY OF GILBERT.
Lineage.
The family of GILBERT held lands in
Monaton, before the CONQUEST, and it has
formed alliances with many of the most in-
fluential houses in the west of England; the
CHAMPERNOUNS, the CHUDLEIGHS, the AGARS,
the POMEROYS, &c.

CONSTABLE-MAXWELL, OF EVERINGHAM AND
CARLAVEROCK.
MAXWELL-CONSTABLE, WILLIAM, esq. of Everingham Park, in the county
of York, and CARLAVEROCK CASTLE, in Dumfriesshire, b. 25th August, 1804. Mr.
Constable-Maxwell succeeded his father in 1819, and, but for the attainder of
WILLIAM MAXWELL, fifth Earl of Nithsdale, would have inherited the BARONY OF
HERRIES, of Terregles, in the peerage of Scotland.
Lineage.

This gentleman being the heir and repre-
sentative of two eminent families, it will be
necessary to detail lines of both, we shall
therefore begin with the
FAMILY OF MAXWELL.
SIR JOHN DE MACUSWELL, (eldest son of
HERBERT DE MACCUSVILLE, who flourished
under MALCOLM IV. and WILLIAM I.) was
sheriff of the county of Roxburghe, in 1203,
and 1207. He was afterwards (15th June,
1220) one of the guarantees to the marriage
contract between ALEXANDER II. and the
Princess JOAN of England, and he assisted
at the royal nuptials. Sir John Macuswell
acquired the barony of Karlaverok, and was
constituted GREAT CHAMBERLAIN of Scot-
land, in 1231. His son and heir,
ham, and the family of Maxwell, of
Park Hill, near Newark.
The elder son,
SIR HERBERT DE MAXESWELL sate in the
parliament of Scone, (5th Feb. 1283-4),
when the nobles agreed to acknowledge the
"MAIDEN OF NORWAY," as Queen of Scot-
land. He died before the year 1300, having
had three sons, namely Sir John, who pre-
deceased him, SIR HERBERT, and ALEX-
ANDER. His successor was his second son,
SIR HERBERT MAXWELL of Karlaverok,
who was s. by his son,
SIR EUSTACE MAXWELL, the gallant de-
fender of KARLAVEROK against the power
of EDWARD I. Of this celebrated fortress
there is a minute and interesting descrip--
tion in an old heraldic French poem, which
recites the names and armorial ensigns of
the knights and barons who accompanied
the English monarch in 1300, in his expe-
dition to Scotland by the western marches,
then under the guardianship of Sir Eustace,
as Lord Warden. Karlaverock was at-
tacked, and at that time taken. The origi-
nal of the poem alluded to is preserved in
the British Museum, and the passage des-
cribing the situation and form of the castle
is thus rendered by Grose:
“Karlaverok was a castle so strong that
it did not fear a siege, therefore on the
king's arrival it refused to surrender; it
being well furnished against sudden at-
tempts, with soldiers, engines, and provi-
sions. Its figure was that of a shield (the
ancient shield was triangular), for it had
only three sides, with a tower on each an-
EUMERUS DE MASCUSWELL, of Karlave-gle, one of them a lumellated or double one,
rok, was GREAT CHAMBERLAIN of Scot-
land, in 1258. He espoused Mary, daugh-
ter and heiress of Roland de Mearns, and
acquired thereby the barony and castle of
Mearns. By this lady he had two sons,
HERBERT (Sir), his heir.
John (Sir), upon whom his father con-
ferred the barony of Nether-Pollock,
in the county of Refrew. From
this John have descended the MAX-
WELLS of Pollock, the MAXWELLS of
Calderwood and of Cardness, baro-
nets; the MAXWELLS, Earls of Farn-
so high, so long, and so spacious, that under
it was the gate, with a turning or draw-
bridge, well made and strong, with a suffi-
ciency of other defences. There were also
good walls, and deep moats filled to the
brim with water. And it is my opinion, no
one will ever see a castle more beautifully
situated, for at one view one might behold
towards the west the Irish sea, towards the
north a delightful country encompassed by
an arm of the sea, so that no creature born
could approach it on two sides, without put-
ting himself in danger from the sea; nor
326
CONSTABLE-MAXWELL, OF EVERINGHAM.
was it an easy matter towards the south, it
being, as by the sea on the other side, there
encircled by the river, woods, bogs, and
trenches; wherefore the army was obliged
to attack it on the east, where there was a
mount."
The castle after sustaining an assault, at
length surrendered, when the remnant of
the garrison, only sixty in number, were in
consequence of their brave defence, taken
into the service of the king, and with their
release, ransom free, obtained each a new
garment.
Some time subsequently, it was retaken
by the Scotch, and Sir Eustace Maxwell, the
steady friend of King ROBERT BRUCE, as-
sumed the command. It was again invested
by "PROUD EDWARD," but the gallant go-
vernor, after sustaining his post with heroic
resolution for some weeks, had the glory
of driving the foreigner at length from his
walls. Lest, however, it should afterwards
fall into the hands of the foe, he caused it
immediately to be dismantled and rased
to the ground. For which generous devo-
tion to his country's cause, "THE BRUCE"
conferred upon him several territorial
grants, pro fractione et prostratione Castri
de Carlaverok, &c. The king also remitted
him and his heirs for ever, the sum of ten
pounds sterling, which was payable to the
crown yearly out of the lands of Carlave-
rok.*
Sir Eustace Maxwell wedded a lady of
his own family, Helen Maxwell, and was s.
by his son,
HERBERT MAXWELL, who died s. p, and
was s. by his uncle,
JOHN MAXWELL, who was made prisoner
at the battle of Durham in 1346, and dying
soon after, was s. by his son,
SIR JOHN MAXWELL, of Maxwell and Car-
laverock, who sate in the parliament at
Edinburgh, in 1357, and had a safe conduct
into England in 1365. This Sir John left
a daughter, Agnes, the wife of Robert Pol-
lock, of Pollock, and a son, his successor,
SIR ROBERT MAXWELL, of Carlaverock.
This gentleman was ambassador to Eng-
land in 1413, and dying in seven years af-
terwards, was s. by his son,
SIR HERBERT MAXWELL, of Carlaverock,
who was appointed steward of Annandale,
by his kinsman, Archibald, Earl of Doug-
las. He wedded Margaret, daughter and
heiress of Sir John de Cragie, of Cragie,
and was s. by his son,
* Karlaverock seems however, to have been
again fortified, for in the year 1355, it was taken
by Roger Kirkpatrick, and, as, Mayjor says,
"levelled with the ground." Probably it was never
more repaired, but its materials employed to erect
a new building. The frequent sieges and dis-
mantlings it had undergone might, in all like-
lihood, have injured its foundation
|
ROBERT MAXWELL, of Carlaverock, one
of the heroes of BANNOCKBURN, and slain in
that celebrated battle, anno 1448. He had
m. Janet, daughter of Sir John Forrester,
chamberlain of Scotland, and left a son,
HERBERT MAXWELL, of Carlaverock,
deemed the first LORD MAXWELL, who
wedded, first, a daughter of Sir Herbert
Herries of Terregles, and had two sons,
ROBERT, his successor.
EDWARD (Sir), of Monreith, ancestor of
the Maxwells, barts. of that place.
His Lordship espoused, secondly, Katherine,
daughter of Sir William Seton, of Seton,
and had, with other children, George,
from whom sprang the MAXWELLS OF
GARNSALLOCK, and ADAM, the MAXWELLS OF
SOUTHBAR. Lord Maxwell's eldest son,
ROBERT, Second LORD MAXWELL, was
served heir to his father on the 4th February,
1453, and he sat as a peer in parliament,
anno 1467. His lordship espoused the Lady
Janet Crichton, daughter of George, Earl of
Caithness, and was s. by his son
JOHN, third Lord Maxwell, who m. Agnes,
daughter of Sir Alexander Stewart, of Gar-
lies, and, falling at Floddenfield, was s. by
his son,
ROBERT, fourth Lord Maxwell, hereditary
sheriff of Kirkcudbright, and guardian of
the West Marches. This nobleman wedded,
first, Janet, daughter of William, sixth Lord
Douglas of Drumlanrig, (ancestor of the
Dukes of Queensbury), and had issue,
ROBERT, his successor.
John, (Sir) who wedded AGNES, eldest
daughter and heiress of William
Herries, fourth LORD HERRIES, of
Terregles, in the county of Dumfries,
and became, jure uxoris, LORD
HERRIES, of Terregles. His lordship
was s. by his son,
SIR WILLIAM MAXWELL, Sixth LORD
HERRIES of Terregles, who wed-
ded Katharine Kerr, sister of
Mark, first Earl of Lothian, and
dying in 1604, was s. by his son,
JOHN MAXWELL, seventh LORD
HERRIES, of Terregles, who es-
poused ELIZABETH, daughter of
John, sixth Lord Maxwell, after-
wards Earl of Morton, and dying
about the year 1627, left a son,
JOHN MAXWELL, eighth LORD HER-
RIES, of whom hereafter, as third
Earl of NITHSDALE.
The fourth Lord Maxwell espoused, se-
condly, Agnes, natural daughter of James,
Earl of Buchan, relict of Adam, second Earl
of Bothwell. He d. in 1546, and was s. by
his elder son,
ROBERT, fifth Lord Maxwell, of Carlave-
rock, warden of the West Marches, who
wedded Lady Beatrix Douglas, second
daughter of James, Earl of Morton, and
dying in 1552, was s. by his son,
CONSTABLE-MAXWELL, OF EVERINGHAM.
JOHN, sixth Lord Maxwell, guardian of
the West Marches. Upon the execution
and attainder of the Regent MORTON, Lord
Maxwell obtained as representative of his
mother, a new charter of the earldom of
Morton, ratified by parliament, but the
attainder being rescinded, he was deprived
of the dignity which passed in 1585, to the
heir of entail. His lordship espoused Eliza-
beth Douglas, daughter of David, thirteenth
Earl of Douglas, and seventh Earl of Angus,
and had issue,
JOHN, Lord Maxwell.
ROBERT, who inherited after his brother.
Elizabeth, who m. John Maxwell, sixth
LORD HERRIES, of Terregles, and
had a son,
JOHN, Seventh Lord Herries, who
succeeded his cousin as third
EARL OF Nithsdale.
He d. in 1593, and was s. by his eldest son,
JOHN, Seventh Lord Maxwell. A feud
subsisting between the houses of Maxwell
and Johnston, this nobleman slew Sir James
Johnston in a rencounter, and fleeing from
Scotland in consequence, he was betrayed
by the Earl of Caithness, and subsequently
tried, beheaded, and attainted in 1613. His
lordship had married the lady Margaret
Hamilton, daughter of John, first Marquess
Hamilton, Duke of Chatelherault, but had
no issue. His brother,
ROBERT, eighth Lord Maxwell, was cre-
ated in 1620, Lord Maxwell of Eskdale and
Carlyle, and EARL OF NITHSDALE, in re-
mainder to heirs male, and with precedency

This nobleman was celebrated, like his
gallant ancestor, Sir Eustace Maxwell, in
the time of EDWARD I., by a brave defence
of Karlaverock, against the parliamentarians
in 1640. His Lordship wedded Elizabeth,
daughter of Sir Francis Beaumont, and
dying in 1644, was s. by his son,
ROBERT, Second Earl of Nithsdale, here-
ditary sheriff of Kirkcudbright. His lordship
dying unmarried in 1667, was s. by his cousin,
JOHN MAXWELL, eighth LORD HERRIES
of Terregles, as third Earl of Nithsdale.
His lordship espoused Elizabeth, sister of
John Gordon, first Viscount Kenmure, and
was s. at his decease by his son,
ROBERT, fourth Earl of Nithsdale, who
wedded the Lady Lucy Douglas, daughter
of William, first Marquess Douglas. His
lordship d. in 1695, and was s. by his son,
WILLIAM, fifth Earl of Nithsdale. This
nobleman, so celebrated for effecting his
escape from the Tower of London, 23rd
February, 1716, the night before his in-
tended execution, through the heroic agency
of his devoted and incomparable countess,
was attainted, and the honors of the senior
branch of the HOUSE OF MAXWELL,
MAXWELLS OF CARLAVEROCK," have ever

Powiss, and dying at Rome, in 1744, was s.
by his only surviving son,

who espoused his first cousin, Lady Catha-

Earl of Traquair, (by Lady Mary Maxwell,
daughter of Robert, fourth Earl of Niths-

the attainder of her grandfather, would have

FAMILY OF CONSTABLE.
The family of CONSTABLE assumed that
surname from holding, in feudal times, the
important office of CONSTABLE of Chester.
ROBERT DE LACY, younger brother of
Roger de Lacy, constable of Chester, and
uncle to the first Earl of Lincoln, enjoyed
the lordship of Flamburgh, by gift of his
brother Roger. He was grandfather of
SIR ROBERT CONSTABLE, of Flamburgh,
who received the honour of knighthood,with
three hundred others, at a grand festival at
Whitsuntide, in the 34th of EDWARD I. From
this Sir Robert lineally sprung, through a
line of distinguished progenitors, who allied
with the houses of Fitzhugh, Skipwith, Cum-
berworth, and Gascoigne,
SIR ROBERT CONSTABLE, of Flamburgh,
M.P. for Yorkshire, 17th EDWARD IV. and
sheriff for the same county in two years
after. He wedded Agnes, daughter of Sir
Roger Wentworth, of Nettlested, in Suffolk,
and dying in 1488, left issue,
MARMADUKE, his heir.
John, dean of Lincoln.
Philip.
Robert, of Cliffe, serjeant-at-law.
William, of Caythorpe and Wassand,
living in 1528, now represented by the
Rev. Charles Constable, of Wassand,
whose only daughter, Mary, wedded
George, eldest son of Sir William
Strickland, bart. of Boynton. (See
family of CONSTABLE, of Wassand.)
The eldest son,
SIR MARMADUKE CONSTABLE, knt. of
Flamburgh, in Yorkshire, married twice:
by his second wife, Margery, daughter of
Henry, Lord Fitzhugh, he had no issue;
but by the first, Joyce, daughter of Sir
1. ROBERT (Sir) of Flamburgh, who, for
his signal services against the Cornish
rebels, was knighted in 1497. Sub-
sequently, however, taking part in
the commotions in Lincolnshire, ex-
cited by John, Lord Hussey, he was
attainted and executed at Hull. He
left by Jane, daughter of Sir William
Ingleby, of Riply, a son,
SIR MARMADuke Constable, knt.

soon perceived the reasons which they de-

upon the frontiers of Scotland who headed
a very considerable party; a man whose
family had always signalized itself by its
loyalty to the royal house of Stuart, and
who was the only support of the Catholics
against the inveteracy of the Whigs, who
were very numerous in that part of Scot-
land, would become an agreeable sacrifice
to the opposite party. They still retained a
lively remembrance of his grandfather, who
defended his own castle of Caerlaverock to
the last extremity, and surrendered it up
only at the express command of his royal
master. Now having his grandson in their
power, they were determined not to let him
escape from their hands. Upon this I
formed the resolution to attempt his escape,
but opened my intention to nobody but my
dear Evans. In order to concert measures,
I strongly solicited to be permitted to see
my lord, which they refused to grant me,
unless I would remain confined with him in
the Tower. This I would not submit to.
and alleged for excuse, that my health would
not permit me to undergo the confinement.
The real reason of my refusal was, not to
put it out of my power to accomplish my
designs; however, by bribing the guards, I
often contrived to see my lord, till the day
upon which the prisoners were condemned.
After that, for the last week we were al-
lowed to see and take our leave of them. By
the assistance of Evans, I had prepared every
thing necessary to disguise my lord, but had
the utmost difficulty to prevail upon him to
make use of them. However, I at length
succeeded by the help of Almighty God. On
the 22nd of February, which fell on a Thurs-
day, our general Petition was presented to
the House of Lords, the purport of which
was, to interest the lords to intercede with
his Majesty to pardon the prisoners. We
were however disappointed, the day before
the petition was to be presented, the Duke
Derwentwater, to present it, when it came
of St. Albans, who had promised my Lady
to the point, failed in his word. However,
as she was the only English Countess con-
cerned, it was incumbent on her to have it
presented. We had but one day left before
"DEAR SISTER,
My lord's escape is now such an old story
that I have almost forgotten it: but since
you desire me to give you a circumstan-
tial account of it, I will endeavour to re-
cal it to my memory, and be as exact in
the narration as I possibly can; for I owe
you too many obligations to refuse you any
thing that lies in my power to do. I think
I owe myself the justice to set out with the
motives which influenced me to undertake
so hazardous an attempt, which I despaired
of thoroughly accomplishing, foreseeing a
thousand obstacles, which never could be
surmounted but by the most particular
interposition of Divine Providence. I con-
fided in Almighty God, and trusted that He
would not abandon me even when all human
succours failed me.
I first came to London upon hearing that
my lord was committed to the Tower. I
was at the same time informed that he had
expressed the greatest anxiety to see me,
having, as he afterwards told me, nobody
to console him till I came. I rode to New-
castle, and from thence took the stage to
York. When I arrived there the snow was
so deep that the stage could not set out for
London. The season was so severe and the
roads so extremely bad, that the post itself

ing, when all was ready, I sent for Mrs.
Mills, with whom I lodged, and acquainted
her with my design of attempting my lord's
escape, as there was no prospect of his
being pardoned, and that this was the last
night before the exection. I told her that I
had every thing in readiness, and that I
trusted she would not refuse to accompany
me, that my lord might pass for her. I
pressed her to come immediately, as we had
no time to lose. At the same time I sent to
Mrs. Morgan, then usually known by the
name of Hilton, to whose acquaintance my
dear Evans had introduced me, which I
look upon as a very singular happiness. I
immediately communicated my resolutions

before, that the prisoners would obtain their
pardon. I made Mrs. Mills take off her
own hood, and put on that which I had
brought for her; I then took her by the hand
and led her out of my lord's chamber, and
in passing through the next room, in which
were several people, with all the concern
imaginable, I said, "My dear Mrs. Catha-

press him to make all the dispatch he possi-
bly could. At the bottom of the stairs I
met my dear Evans, into whose hands I
confided him. I had before engaged Mr.
Mills to be in readiness before the Tower, to
conduct him to some place of safety, in case
we succeeded. He looked upon the affair
as so very improbable to succeed, that his
astonishment when he saw us, threw him
into such a consternation that he was almost
out of himself; which Evans perceiving,
with the greatest presence of mind, without
telling him any thing lest he should mistrust
them, conducted him to some of her own
friends on whom she could rely, and so se-
cured him, without which we should have
been undone. When she had conducted
him and left him with them, she returned to
Mr. Mills, who by this time had recovered
himself from his astonishment. They went
home together, and having found a place of
security they conducted him to it. In the
mean time, as I had pretended to have sent
the young lady on a message, I was obliged
to return up stairs, and go back to my lord's
room in the same feigned anxiety of being
too late, so that every body seemed sin-
cerely to sympathize in my distress. When
I was in the room, I talked as if he had been
really present: I answered my own ques-
tions in my lord's voice as nearly as I could
imitate it; I walked up and down as if we
were conversing together, till I thought they
had time enough thoroughly to clear them-
selves of the guards. I then thought pro-
I
waiting to carry the petition, in case my at-
tempt had failed. I told him there was no
need of any petition, as my lord was safe
out of the Tower, and out of the hands of
his enemies as I supposed, but that I did
not know where he was. I discharged
the coach and sent for a sedan chair, and
went to the Duchess of Buccleugh, who ex-
pected me about that time, as I had begged of
her to present the petition for me, having
taken my precaution against all events.
asked if she was at home, and they answered
me that she expected me, and had another
duchess with her. I refused to go up stairs
as she had company with her, and I was not
in a condition to see any other company.
I begged to be shewn into a chamber below
stairs, and that they would have the good-
ness to send her grace's maid to me, having
something to say to her. I had discharged
the chair, lest I might be pursued and
watched. When the maid came in I de-
sired her to present my most humble res-
pects to her grace, who they told me had
company with her, and to acquaint her, that
this was my only reason for not coming up
stairs. I also charged her with my sin-
cerest thanks for her kind offer to accom-
pany me when I went to present my petition.
I added, that she might spare herself any
further trouble, as it was judged more ad-
visable to present one general petition in
the name of all; however, that I would
never be unmindful of my particular obliga-
tion to her grace, and which I should return
very soon to acknowledge in person. I then
ordered one of the servants to call a chair
332
CONSTABLE-MAXWELL, OF EVERINGHAM.
and I went to the Duchess of Montrose, who | so remarkably short that the Captain the ew
had always borne a part in my distresses.
When I arrived, she left her company to
deny herself, not being desirous to see me
under the affliction which she judged me to
be in. By mistake, however, I was admit-
ted, so there was no remedy. She came to
me, and as my heart was in an ecstasy of
joy, I expressed it in my countenance. As
she entered the room, I ran up to her in the
transport of my joy; she appeared to be
extremely shocked and frightened, and has
since confessed to me, that she apprehended
my troubles had thrown me out of myself,
till I communicated my happiness to her.|
She then advised me to return, for that the
king was highly displeased and even enraged |
at the petition I had presented to him, and
had complained of it severely. I sent for
another chair, for I always discharged them
immediately, that I might not be pursued.
Her grace said she would go to Court and
see how the news of my lord's escape was
received. When the news was brought to
the king, he flew into an excessive passion,
and said he was betrayed, for it could not
have been done without a confederacy.
He instantly dispatched two persons to the
Tower, to see that the other prisoners were
well secured, lest they should follow the
example. Some threw the blame on me,
some upon another. The duchess was the
only one at court that knew it. When I
left the duchess I went to a house that
Evans had found out for me, and where she
promised to acquaint me where my lord was.
She got thither some few minutes after me,
and told me that when she had seen him
secure she went in search of Mr. Mills,
who by this time had recovered himself from
his astonishment, that he had returned to
his house where she found him, and that he
had removed my lord from the first place
where she had desired him to wait, to the
house of a poor woman directly opposite
the guard-house. She had but one small
room up one pair of stairs, and a very small
bed in it. We threw ourselves on the bed,
that we might not be heard walking up and
down. She left us a bottle of wine and
some bread, and Mrs. Mills brought us some
more in her pockets the next day. We
subsisted on this provision from Thursday
till Saturday night, when Mr. Mills came
and conducted my lord to the Venetian Am-
bassador's. We did not communicate the
affair to his excellency, but one of his ser-
vants concealed him in his own room till
Wednesday, on which day the Ambassador's
coach and six was to go down to Dover to
meet his brother. My lord put on a livery,
and went down in the retinue, without the
least suspicion, to Dover; where Mr. Michel
(which was the name of the Ambassador's
servant) hired a small vessel, and immedi-
ately sct-sail for Calais. The passage was
out this reflection, that the wind could not
have served better if his passengers had
been flying for their lives, little thinking it
to be really the case. Mr. Michel might
have easily returned, without suspicion of
having been concerned in my lord's escape;
but my lord seemed inclined to have him
with him, which he did, and he has at pre-
sent a good place under our young master.
This is an exact and as full an account of
this affair, and of the persons concerned in
it, as I could possibly give you, to the best
of memory, and you may rely upon the
truth of it. For my part, I absconded to
the house of a very honest man in Drury
Lane, where I remained till I was assured
of my lord's safe arrival on the continent.
I then wrote to the Duchess of Buccleugh
(every body thought till then that I was
gone off with my lord) to tell her I under-
stood I was suspected of having contrived
my lord's escape, as was very natural to
suppose; that if I could have been happy
enough to have done it, I should be flattered
to have the merit of it attributed to me, but
that a bare suspicion, without proof, would
never be a sufficient ground for my being
punished for a supposed offence, though it
might be a motive sufficient for me to pro-
vide a place of security; so I entreated her
to procure leave for me to go about my
business. So far from granting my request
they were resolved to secure me if possible.
After several debates, Mr. Solicitor-Gene-
ral, who was an utter stranger to me, had
the humanity to say, that since I shewed
such respect to Government as not to ap-
pear in public, it would be cruel to make
any search after me. Upon which it was
decided, that no further search should be
made if I remained concealed; but that if I
appeared either in England or in Scotland,
I should be secured. But this was not suffi-
cient for me, unless I could submit to see
my son exposed to beggary. My lord sent
for me up to town in such haste, that I had
not time to settle any thing before I left Scot-
land. I had in my hands all the family papers,
and dared trust them to nobody. My house
might have been searched without warning,
consequently they were far from being secure
there. In this distress I had the precaution
to bury them in the ground, and nobody
but myself and the gardener knew where
they were. I did the same with other things
of value. The event proved that I had acted
prudently, for after my departure they
searched the house, and God only knows
what might have transpired from those
papers. All these circumstances rendered
my presence absolutely necessary, other-
wise they might have been lost, for though
they retained the highest preservation after
one very severe winter, for when I took them
up they were as dry as if they came from
CONSTABLE-MAXWELL, OF EVERINGHAM.
I
the fire-side, yet, they could not possibly
have remained so much longer without pre-
judice. In short, as I had once exposed my
life for the safety of the father, I could not
do less than hazard it once more for the
fortune of the son. I had never travelled
on horseback but from York to London, as
I told you, but the difficulties did not arise
now from the severity of the season, but
the fear of being discovered and arrested.
To avoid this, I bought three saddle
horses, and set off with my dear Evans,
and a very trusty servant whom I brought
with me out of Scotland. We put up at
all the smallest inns on the road that could
take in a few horses, and where I thought
I was not known, for I was thoroughly
known at all the considerable inns on the
northern road. Thus I arrived safe at
Traquhair, where I thought myself secure,
for the Lieutenant of the County being a
friend of my lord's, would not permit any
search to be made after me without sending
me previous notice to abscond. Here I had
the assurance to rest myself for two whole
days, pretending that I was going to my own
house with leave from Government.
sent no notice to my house, that the Magis-
trates of Dumfries might not make too narrow
enquiries about me. So they were ignorant
of my arrival in the country till I was at
was at
home, where I still feigned to have permis-
sion to remain. To carry on the deceit the
better, I sent to all my neighbours and in-
vited them to come to my house. I took
up my papers at night, and sent them off to
Traquhair. It was a particular stroke of
providence that I made the dispatch I did,
for they soon suspected me, and by a very
favourable accident, one of them was over-
heard to say to the Magistrates of Dumfries,
that the next day they would insist on seeing
my leave from Government. This was
bruited about, and when I was told of it, I
expressed my surprise that they should be
so backward in coming to pay their respects;
but, said I, "better late than never, be sure
to tell them that they shall be welcome |
whenever they choose to come." This was
after dinner, but I lost no time to put every
thing in readiness with all possible secrecy;
and the next morning before day-break I
set off again for London with the same at-
tendants, and as before put up at the small-
est inns, and arrived safe once more.
On my arrival, the report was still fresh
of my journey into Scotland, in defiance of
their prohibition.
A lady informed me, that the king was
extramely incensed at the news. That he
had issued orders to have me arrested; ad-
ding, that I did whatever I pleased in despite
of all his designs, and that I had given him
more trouble and anxiety than any other
woman in Europe. For which reason I
|
|
333
kept myself as closely concealed as possible,
till the heat of these reports had abated.
In the mean while I took the opinion of a
very famous lawyer, who was a man of the
strictest probity. He advised me to go off
as soon as they had ceased searching after
me. I followed his advice, and about a
fortnight after escaped without any accident
whatever. The reason he alleged for his
opinion was this, that although in other cir-
cumstances, a wife cannot be prosecuted for
saving her husband, yet in cases of high-
treason, according to the rigour of the law,
the head of the wife is responsible for that
of the husband; and as the king was so
highly incensed there could be no answer-
ing for the consequences, and he therefore
entreated me to leave the kingdom. The
king's resentment was greatly increased by
the petition which I presented, contrary to
his express orders. But my lord was very
anxious that a petition might be presented,
hoping that it would be at least serviceable
to me. I was in my own mind convinced
that it would be to no purpose, but as I
wished to please my lord, I desired him to
have it drawn up, and I undertook to make
it come to the king's hand, notwithstanding
all the precautions he had taken to avoid it.
So the first day that I heard the king was
to go to the drawing-room, I dressed myself
in black, as if I was in mourning. I sent
for Mrs. Morgan (the same who accompanied
me to the Tower) because as I did not know
his Majesty personally, I might have mis-
taken some other person for him. She stood
by me and told me when he was coming.
I had also another lady with me, and we
three remained in a room between the king's
apartments and the drawing-room: so that
he was obliged to go through it, and as there
were three windows in it, we sat in the mid-
dle one, that I might have time enough to
meet him before he could pass. I threw
myself at his feet, and told him, in French,
that I was the unfortunate Countess of
Nithsdale, that he might not pretend to be
ignorant of my person. But perceiving that
he wanted to go off, without receiving my
petition, I caught hold of the skirts of his
coat, that he might stop and hear me. He
endeavoured to escape out of my hands, but I
kept such strong hold that he dragged me
from the middle of the room to the door of
the drawing-room. At last one of the blue-
ribbands, who attended his Majesty, took
me round the waist, whilst another wrested
the coat out of my hands. The petition,
which I had endeavoured to thrust into his
pocket, fell down in the scuffle, and I almost
fainted through grief and disappointment.
One of the gentlemen in waiting took the
petition, and as I knew that it ought to have
been given to the Lord of the Bedchamber
who was then in waiting, I wrote to him,
334
TWEMLOW, OF HATHERTON.
and entreated him to do me the favour to
read the petition which I had had the honour
to present to his Majesty.
Fortunately for me it happened to be my
Lord Dorset, with whom Mrs. Morgan was
very intimate. Accordingly, she went into
the drawing-room and presented him a letter,
which he received very graciously. He
could not read it then, as he was at cards
with the Prince, but as soon as the game
was over, he read it; and behaved, as I af-
terwards learnt, with the greatest zeal for
my interest, and was seconded by the Duke
of Montrose, who had seen me in the anti-
chamber and wanted to speak to me, but I
made him a sign not to come near me, lest
his acquaintance should thwart my designs.
But it became the topic of their conversa-
tion the rest of the evening, and the harsh-
ness with which I had been treated soon
spread abroad, not much to the honour of
the King. Many people reflected that they
had themselves presented petitions, and that |
he had never rejected any even from the
most indigent objects. But this behaviour
to a person of quality was a strong instance
of brutality. These reflections which cir-
culated about, raised the king to the highest
pitch of hatred and indignation against my
person, as he has since allowed; for when
the ladies, whose husbands had been con-
cerned in this affair, presented their peti-
tions for dower, mine was presented among
the rest, but the king said, I was not entitled
to the same privilege, and in fact I was ex-
cluded; and it is remarkable, that he would
never suffer my name to be mentioned.
For these reasons every body judged it pru-
dent for me to leave the kingdom; for so
long as this hatred of the king subsisted I
could not be safe, and as it was not probable
that I could escape falling into his hands, I
accordingly went.
This is the full narrative of what you de-
sired, and of all the transactions which passed
relative to this affair. Nobody besides your-
self could have obtained it from me; but
the obligations I owe you, throw me under
the necessity of refusing you nothing that is
in my power to do. As this is for yourself
alone, your indulgence will excuse all the
faults which must occur in this long recital.
The truth you may however depend upon,
attend to that, and overlook all deficiences.
My lord desires you to be assured of his
sincere friendship.
I am, with strongest attachment,
My dear Sister,
Yours, most affectionately,
WINIFRED NITHSDALE.

in the county of Radnor, as long as any re-
cord of that county exists, its lineage being
traceable for many generations before the cus-

Lineage.
The ancient name of HALKETT, in the
writs of this family, is promiscuously written
"de Hawkhead" and "de Halkett;" it is
said to be territorial or local, and to have
been assumed by the proprietors of the
lands and barony of Hawkhead, in Ren-
frewshire, so soon as surnames became here-
ditary in Scotland.
The exact period when the Halketts es-
tablished themselves in Fife cannot at this
distance of time be precisely ascertained,
but we have proofs that they were free
barons, and had large landed possessions
in the western parts of that county six hun-
dred years ago. The first of the family upon
record who distinguished himself by feats
of arms was
DAVID DE HALKETT, a powerful warrior,
living temp. King DAVID BRUCE, and father
of
PHILLIPPUS DE HALKETT, who flourished
in the reigns of Kings ROBERT II. and
ROBERT III. In the Chartulary of Dum-
fermline he is designated "Dominus de
Balingall, filius et haeres David de Halkett,
anno Domini 1393." From this Philip de
Halkett we pass over seven generations,
observing the remarkable fact, that the
chiefs of this family have always been in
the military service of their own country,
or that of some allied power.
GEORGE HALKETT, the ninth in direct
lineal descent and a distinguished officer, es-
poused Isabella, daughter of Sir Patrick
Hepburn, of Waughton, and had three sons
and one daughter, of whom
SIR JOHN HALKETT, knt. the third son,
continued the line of the family, and re-
ceived the honor of knighthood from King
JAMES VI. He attached himself to a mili-
tary life, and went into the service of the
states of Holland, where by his bravery and
merit he rose to the rank of general, and
had the command of a Scots regiment. He
was likewise president of the grand Court

CROKER, (Privy Councillor.)
CROKER, The Right Honorable JOHN-WILSON, LL.D. F.A.S. 6. 20th Decem-
""
ber, 1780, m. 22nd May, 1806, Rosamond, eldest daughter
of William Pennell, esq. His Majesty's Consul General in
the Brazils, by whom he had a son and a daughter,
who both died young. Upon the decease of his children,
Mr. Croker adopted the sister of Mrs. Croker, and the
young lady then assumed his name. The pencil of Sir
Thomas Lawrence has rendered the person of Miss
Croker familiar to the public in one of his most exquisite
portraits. She has lately espoused Mr. George Barrow,
son of John Barrow, esq. second secretary of the
Admiralty.
Mr. Croker was educated at the University of Dublin,
which he entered as a gentleman commoner in Novem-
ber, 1796, and took his degree in 1800. During his
sojourn at college, he attained very high reputation as a
public speaker, in the celebrated Historical Society, and
as a political writer and poet. He is the presumed author
of two very popular works, published in Dublin about that period-" Familiar Epistles to
Fred. Ed. Jones, esq. upon the Irish Stage," and "A Sketch of the State of Ireland,
past and present.' The former, which is in verse, attracted more than ordinary atten-
tion, passing, we believe, through ten editions, in as many months: the latter, as an
adaptation of the style of Tacitus to English composition, is a master-piece. Mr.
Croker was called to the bar in 1802, and offering himself soon after for Downe, in
Ireland, stood a contested election; but not being returned, presented a petition to
parliament. Another dissolution taking place, pending the petition, Mr. Croker
was chosen at the ensuing election, in 1807. From that time he has had a seat in
every succeeding parliament. Upon the promotion of Lord Plunket to the bench,
in 1827, Mr. Croker succeeded that eminent person in the representation of the Uni-
versity of Dublin, wherein he had taken the degree of LL.D. in 1809: in which year
he was appointed secretary of the admiralty; an office which he filled until the retire-
ment of his party, in 1830. He had been sworn a member of the most honorable privy
council in 1828.
Mr. Croker, during his long tenure of office, confined his parliamentary exertions to
subjects connected with his own department, which afforded but few occasions of dis-
tinction; but he has acquired great celebrity as leader of the present opposition (1832)
in the House of Commons, and his abilities have been confessed by all parties. As a
political writer, many articles in the Quarterly Review, and several pamphlets upon
public questions, bear ample testimony to his great powers; and a late edition of Bos-
well's Life of Johnson is a proof of more literary diligence than might have been
expected from a poet or a politician.

Lineage.
This family is a branch of the house of
CROKER of Lineham, in the county of De-
von; a name so eminent, that there is an
old proverbial distich, or, as Prince (Wor-
thies of Devon, p. 274) calls it "old saw,"
recording its antiquity;
"Croker, Crewys, and Copplestone,
When the Conqueror came, were at home."
The Crokers, who were originally seated
at Croker's Hele and Crokern Tor in Devon-
shire, became possessed, in the reign of
Henry IV., of Lineham by marriage with
the heiress of Churchill of that place; the
younger male branch of which family was
the ancestor of the Duke of Marlborough.
The genealogy of Croker of Lineham
is preserved with singular accuracy by
Prince, Risdon, Pole, and the other Devon-
shire historians, as well as by numerous
CROKER.
pedigrees and documents. There were no
less than eleven John Crokers in almost
uninterrupted succession, but the last male
of the elder branch was Courteney Croker,
esq. whose only daughter and heiress, Mary,
carried the estate of Lineham into the fa-
mily of Bulteel, and her grandson John
Bulteel, esq. of Fleet, is now the owner of
Lineham; which is in the occupation of his
eldest son John Croker Bulteel, esq. who
is thus the representative by the female
line of the eldest branch of Croker of Line-
ham. This gentleman married in 1826,
the Lady Elizabeth Grey, third daughter of
Charles, present Earl Grey, K.G. and has
been lately elected M.P. for South Devon.
We must now return to a junior, but at
present the eldest male branch.
THOMAS CROKER, of Trevillas in Corn-
wall, second son of the eighth John Croker,
of Lineham, obtained, about 1600, the estate
of Ballyanker, in the county of Waterford,
and while his eldest son remained at Trevil-
las, (where his branch is supposed to be ex-
tinct,) his younger sons, to the number of
three or four, migrated to Ireland. They
were all probably soldiers; two of them, at
least, were so, and distinguished themselves
by the extraordinary and almost romantic
capture of the city of Waterford in 1650,
(see Smith's History of Waterford, p. 147,
ed. 1774.) One of the brothers was killed
in the assault, the other (Hugh) after a long
course of military service settled at Bally-
anker, and died in January, 1663: from him
the subject of this notice is descended.
His youngest brother, Edward, (who was
murdered in the Irish Rebellion, 1641) was
ancestor of the respectable and wealthy
family of Croker, of Ballynagard, in the
county of Limerick, and of a numerous
branch settled in Dublin, to which belong,
Anne, daughter and heiress of Thomas
Croker, and wife of Sir Ed. Crofton, bart.
created in 1797, baroness Crofton, in her
own right; and Thomas Crofton Croker,
esq. known by many literary works.
WALTER CROKER, esq. of Tallow, the
grandson of Hugh, the captor of Waterford,
had by the daughter of Reginald Bray, an
only son,
JOHN CROKER, esq. of Tallow, who was
born in 1695, and died in 1743, leaving three
sons,-Walter, of Tallow,-John, of Airhill,
-and William, of Johnstown.-John left
male issue, but William left an only daugh-
ter and heiress, who married the Honorable
Frederick Mullins, son of the first Lord
Ventry, and by him has issue, Frederick-
William, M.P. for Kerry, in the present
and two last parliaments.
WALTER CROKER, esq. the eldest son of
John, of Tallow, was born in 1728, and d.

in 1789, leaving by his wife, Sarah, daugh-
ter of Edward Devereux, esq. one son,
JOHN CROKER, esq. surveyor-general of
Ireland, who was born in 1743, and died
29th April, 1814. He was a man of great
abilities and most amiable manners, an able
and upright public servant, and in private
life universally respected and beloved. He

Brydges, though of no particular lustre
either from its titles or estates, was by no
means mean, insignificant in point of pro-

until 1733, when he was elevated
to the bench and peerage, as
lord chief justice of the court of
King's Bench, and Baron Hard-
wicke, of Hardwicke. In 1736-7
his lordship was constituted Lord

Lineage.
The house of VAWDRAY was one of dis-
tinction in Franche Comte, and records* of
many of its members are in possession of
its present representative. The Chateau
Vawdrey is still to be seen in going from
Dole to Salins. Its founder in England
was a follower of Hugh Kevilioc, Earl of
Chester, from whom he obtained lands in
the parish of Boden, in Cheshire.
THOMAS VAWDREY, of Bowdon, in Che-
shire, purchased the Riddings, Altrincham,

tleman of Franche Comtè, was created a knight
by letters, 'données,' at Aranjuez, 3d May, 1586."

355
This gentleman, by profession a barrister, was constituted judge of or of the vice
admiralty courts in North America, and retiring in 1816, received then the honour of
knighthood. In 1823, he was elected a bencher of the Inner Temple, and appointed in
1829, treasurer of that society. He succeeded to his paternal inheritance at the decease
of his father in 1777.
Lineage.
The surname of this family was originally
LE BLOUNT, and Sir Alexander Croke states
that he is now the representative of the se-
nior branch of that ancient house, which had
its own origin from the BLONDI or BRONDI, of
Italy. Its patriarchs, the COUNTS OF GUISNES,
claimed alliance with most of the royal
families of Europe, and counted amongst
their progenitors, the Emperors and Kings
of France, the Kings of Denmark, the
Counts of Flanders, and the Guelphs, Dukes
of Bavaria.
RODOLPH, third Count of Guisnes, (whose
grandfather was SIGEFRED, the Dane, first
Count, grandson of HAROLD V., King of
Denmark) espoused Rosetta, daughter of
Hugh, second Count St. Pol, and had three
sons, who accompanied the Conqueror into
England, one of whom returned into Nor-
mandy, while the other two,
SIR ROBERT

largely in the spoils of con-
quest-Sir William obtain-
SIR WILLIAM, ing several lordships in Lin-
colnshire, and
SIR ROBERT LE BLOUND, no less than thir-
teen lordships in the county of Suffolk, of
which Ixworth was the head of the feudal
barony. The great grandson and lineal
descendant of this Sir Robert,
GILBERT LE BLOUND, Lord of Ixworth, m.
Agnes de Lisle, and had two sons,
1. WILLIAM, who succeeded to the feudal
barony, and marrying Cicely de Vere,
had issue,
WILLIAM, Baron of Ixworth, stan-
dard-bearer to the army of the
insurgent barons, under Simon
Montfort, Earl of Leicester, and
slain at the battle of Lewes, temp.

issue, the male line of the Barons
of Ixworth ceased, and his sis-

and acquired with that lady the manor of
Belton, in Rutlandshire. He had issue,

Sir Robert le Blount d. in 1288, and was s.
by his elder son,
SIR RALPH LE BLOUNT, Lord of Belton,
in the County of Rutland, who recovered
lands in Saxlingham, in the reign of EDWARD
I. He espoused Cecilia or Alicia, daughter
and co-heir of Sir John Lovet, of Hampton
Lovet, in Worcestershire, and was s. by his
son,
SIR THOMAS LE BLOUNT, Lord of Belton
and Hampton-Lovet, who married twice,
and had issue,
1. WILLIAM (Sir), Lord of Belton, &c.
whose only son,
SIR JOHN BLOUNT, Lord of Belton,
custos of the City of London,
and constable of the Tower, in
the time of EDWARD III. was
summoned to parliament in the
first year of that reign, as LORD
BLOUNT, of Belton. He m. first
and had one son,
SIR THOMAS BLOUNT, Lord of
Belton, who, with his kins-
man, Nicholas, having en-
gaged in the attempt to
restore RICHARD II. to the
throne, in the year 1400,
suffered a most cruel death,*
* Sir Thomas Blount was hanged; but the
halter was soon cut, and he was made to sit on a
ench before a great fire, and the executioner
came with a razor in his hand, and knelt before
Sir Thomas, whose hands were tied, begging him
to pardon him his death, as he must do his office.
Sir Thomas asked, "Are you the person appointed
to deliver me from this world?"-The executioner
answered, Yes, Sir, I pray you pardon me.'
And Sir Thomas kissed him, and pardoned him
his death. The executioner then knelt down, and
opened his belly, and cut out his bowels, and
threw them into the fire. While Sir Thomas was
dying, one Erpyngham, the king's chamberlain,
insulting Blount, said to him, in derision, " Go,
seek a master that can cure you."-Blount only
answered," Te Deum laudamus ! Blessed be
he day on which I was born, and blessed be this

2. Nicholas, father of another NICHOLAS,
of whom we are about to treat.
The grandson of Sir Thomas le Blount (the
son of his second son),
NICHOLAS LE BLOUNT, having taken an
active part in the insurrection, which proved
so fatal to his cousin Sir Thomas le Blount,
was outlawed and forced to fly the kingdom.
Repairing with other refugees to the cour
of Milan, he entered into the military ser-
vice of the accomplished JOHN GALEAZZO
VISCOMPTI, who was then at war with the
emperor, and who eventually, after routing
them at Brescia, drove the imperialists out
of Italy. The Duke acknowledged with
gratitude the merits of the English, and the
splendid rewards which he conferred upon
them, were worthy of the magnificent house
of VISCOмpti.
of VISCOMPTI. Nicholas le Blount subse-
quently returned to England, but in doing
so adopted the precaution of changing his
name, as did several other of his compa-
nions, amongst whom were JOHN CARRING-
TON, who took the name of Smith, the an-
cestor of the extinct Lords Carrington, and
William Fitzwilliams, who assumed that of
English; Blount chose the cognomen of
CROKE.* He m. Agnes, daughter and
heiress of John Heynes by Alicia Athall,
and was s. by his son,
JAMES CROKE, alias LE BLOUNT, whose son,
RICHARD CROKE, espoused a lady named
Alicia, but of what family is not related.
He was s. by his son,
JOHN CROKE, esq. who was appointed in
1522 one of the Six Clerks† of the Court of
Chancery, and in seven years afterwards
obtained a patent for life as Comptroller
and Supervisor of the Hanaper in the same
court. In the reign of EDWARD VI. he
was constituted a Master in Chancery. In
1529 Master Croke had purchased the
estate and manor of Chilton, in Bucks,
| from Lord Zouch, and, in 1539, bought
from the crown the priory of STUDLEY,
with all the possessions thereunto belonging.

+ As the chancellor had been almost always an
ecclesiastic, these officers were anciently actual
cleri, or in holy orders, and were regularly pro-
moted to livings under the chancellor's patronage.
As clergymen, they were incapable of marrying,
and even when they ceased to be in orders the
ancient custom of celibacy continued, a restraint
which was confirmed by an ordinance in Chan-
cery, 12th of RICHARD II. and was observed until
the reign of HENRY VIII.
CROKE, OF STUDLEY.
He wedded Prudencia, third daughter of¦
Richard Cave, esq. of Stamford-upon-Avon,
and sister of Sir Ambrose Cave, Chancellor
of the Duchy of Lancaster, a most intimate

SIR JOHN CROKE, knt. of Chilton, b. in
1530, returned to parliament for the bo-

Sir Alexander Unton,* knt. and had is-

1. JOHN (Sir), of Chilton and Studley,
an able and eminent lawyer, who
succeeded Sir Edward Coke as Trea-
surer of the Inner Temple in 1598,
and was subsequently appointed Re-
corder of London, and chosen one of
the representatives of that city. In
the last memorable parliament called
by Queen ELIZABETH, he was elected
SPEAKER of the House of Commons,
and the manner of his appointment
has been most curiously related by a
contemporary writer, Sir Simonds
D'Ewes. In the 1st year of JAMES I.
he received the honor of knighthood,
and was made serjeant-at-law. Sir
John was afterwards constituted
king's serjeant, and a Welsh judge;
and he succeeded Sir John Popham,
as one of the justices of the Court of
King's Bench, in the 5th of the same
reign. The arguments of Sir John
Croke at the bar, and his decisions
from the bench, evinced the pro-
foundest professional knowledge; in

the Lord Chancellor (Sir Christopher)

influential in the county. Sir Hugh UNTON, great
grandfather of Lady Croke, married Sybell, dau.

nent lawyers of the period in which
he lived, who after passing through
the minor gradations of office, was
constituted, in 1628, one of the judges
of the Court of King's Bench. In
the unconstitutional proceedings of
the misguided CHARLES I. previous
to the breaking out of the Civil War,
Sir George Croke did not concur,
and, unterrified by the menaces, and
uninfluenced by the fascinations of
power, followed upon every occasion
the dictates of his conscience, always
raising his voice in favor of the rights
of the people. In the celebrated case
of Hampden, after five of the judges |
had delivered their opinions for the
crown, Mr. Justice Croke gave his in
favor of that celebrated patriot. In
1621, Sir George purchased Studley
from Sir John Croke, of Chilton,

Lineage.
ˊ
The family of WINSTANLEY is of remote
antiquity in the county of Lancaster, the
name occurring in the records of that shire,
as far back as the reign of HENRY III.
Among its early progenitors, SIR THOMAS
WINSTANLEY is mentioned by Froissart and
Barnes, as one of the knights attendant upon
the Black Prince, in his expedition into
Spain, to place Don Pedro upon the throne.
The successors of this gallant warrior, ally-
ing with the houses of Standish, Worsley,
Waller, Longton, &c. remained seated at
WINSTANLEY, in Lancashire, until the close
of the sixteenth century, when JAMES WIN-
STANLEY, of Winstanley, one of the poor
knights of Windsor, is presumed to have
alienated to the Bankeses, the patrimonial
mansion and estates.
Edmund Prideaux, bart. of Netherton,
and had a son,
SIR EDMUND PRIDEAUX, bart. who
m. first, Mary, daughter of Sa-
muel Reynardson, esq. of Hil-
lingdon, in Middlesex, by whom
he had an only daughter,
MARY (co-heir), who wedded
James Winstanley, esq. and
had issue.
Sir Edmund espoused secondly,
Anne, daughter of Philip Haw-
kins, esq. of Pennans, in Corn-
wall, by whom he had another
daughter,
ANNE (co-heir), m. to John
Pendarves Basset, esq. of
Tihiddy, and had a son,
JOHN PRIDEAUX BASSET,
esq. who d. unmarried
in 1756, when the es-
tates of the Bassets de-
volved upon FRANCIS
BASSET, his uncle. The
eldest son of this Fran-
cis was afterwards ele-
vated to the peerage as
BARON DE DUNSTAN-
VILLE. (See Burke's
Peerage.)
3. Catherine, m. to Čolonel Silas Ti-
tus.*

* This celebrated person was son of SILAS TITUS,
of Bushey, Herts, gent. He was b. in 1612-13—
entered a commoner of Christ Church, Oxford, in
1637, and became, about 1640, a member of one
JAMES WINSTANLEY, esq. b. in 1600, a
of the inns of court. In the grand Rebellion,
scion of the Lancashire family, was admitted when the Parliament raised an army against the
of Gray's Inn in 1624, and was appointed king, he obtained a captain's commission, but dis-
recorder of Leicester in 1653. He had pre-approving of the course pursued by the Indepen-
viously, 25th May, 1650, purchased the
manor of BRAUNSTON from the Hastings.
He espoused Catherine, daughter of Clement
Moss, esq. and had issue,
1. CLEMENT, his heir.
2. Susanna, m. first to Austin, esq.
of Derhams, near Barnet, but had no
issue. She espoused secondly, Sir
dants, abandoned his colours for the royal stan-
the two CHARLESES. Colonel Titus was a man of
dard, and was subsequently of eminent service to
wit, and author of the celebrated pamphlet, secretly
published, called "Killing no Murder." In this
satyrical production, several cogent reasons are
offered to the USURPER, why he should put him-
self to death. CROMWELL is said to have been
exceedingly terrified, and to have doubted whether

he should not follow the author's advice, to avoid
the pistol of the assassin. Titus, who was not
known to be the author till after the Restoration,
had a colonel's commission given him by King
CHARLES II, who made him one of the grooms of
his bedchamber. He sometimes, to divert the
king, or sink a declining favorite, practised buf-
fooneries, better suited to Bartholomew Fair than
to the court of a prince, who certainly understood
decorum and politeness. Though Titus had
pleaded strongly in parliament for the exclusion of
the Duke of York, he was no less urgent for the
abolition of the test and penal laws, as the surest
bulwark against Popery. In the reign of King
JAMES, he was sworn of the privy council. He d.

the office of sheriff for the county of Leices-
ter, in 1774, and the respect evinced towards
him upon that occasion, at the assizes, by
the gentlemen of the shire, is worthy of ob-
servation. They arrayed themselves in blue
coats with crimson collars, and attended him
from his seat at Leicester, in something like
military order. During the shrivalty of
Mr. Winstanley, the great contest for the
county occurred between John Peach Hun-
gerford and William Pochin, esquires, in
the progress of which the sheriff received
the compliments of both parties, for his im-
partiality and integrity. He m. Jane,

GEORGE-ROBERT, b. 24th February, 1826.
Mr. Ricardo succeeded his father on the 11th September, 1823.
о
Lineage.
This family was founded by the cele-
brated writer on Political Economy,
DAVID RICARDO, a gentleman of Jewish
origin, who was b. on the 12th April, 1772,
and educated in Holland, in order that he
might pursue the profession of his father,
a Dutch merchant and stock broker, but
incurring by an early marriage with a
quaker lady of the name of Wilkinson, the
displeasure of his friends, he was thrown
entirely upon his own resources, the friends
of his wife being equally irritated, and ob-
liged to depend solely upon his own in-
dustry. Becoming a member of the Stock
Exchange, he gradually accumulated an
immense fortune, and obtained distinction as
a writer upon Finance. In 1810, his opi-
|
nions upon the deprecation of the currency
were first promulgated through the columns
of the Morning Chronicle Newspaper, but
he subsequently embodied his ideas in a
distinct work, and he had the satisfaction
to find them adopted and confirmed in the
report of the Bullion Committee of the
House of Commons. He subsequently pub-
lished an (6
Essay on Rent," in which he
advocated the principles of Malthus, and
entered into an examination of the affairs
of the Bank of England. Eventually he
proposed an economical currency, and ad-
dressed a letter to Mr. Perceval, who was
then Chancellor of the Exchequer, upon the
subject, but without effect. His most im-
portant production was his treatise upon
"Political Economy and Taxation,
work said to rank with the celebrated
"Wealth of Nations," of Adam Smith.
Mr. Ricardo obtained a seat in parliament,
in 1819, for the borough of Portarlington,
and the same liberality and good sense
marked his parliamentary career that had
previously characterized his writings. He
died of inflammation of the brain, arising
from an abscess in the ear, on the 11th
September, 1823.

GARNONS, OF COLOMMENDY.
GARNONS, RICHARD, esq. of Colommendy, in the county of Denbigh, a deputy
lieutenant for the counties of Carnarvon and Flint, and
in the commission of the peace for the same shires, and
that of Denbigh, b. 19th December, 1773, m. 17th
April, 1797, Dorothea, third daughter and co-heiress of
the Reverend John Foulkes, of Mertyn, in Flintshire,
and of Llanrhydd, in the county of Denbigh, vicar of
Whitford.
Mr. Garnons commanded the loyal Mold volunteers,
raised in 1803, which corps became afterwards the 2nd
regiment of royal Flintshire local militia, and he con-
tinued lieutenant colonel commandant until the reduction
of that force. He succeeded to the Pantdû and Nantlle
estates upon the death of his father, 2nd April, 1803, and
to his other lands in Carnarvon and Flintshires, at the
decease of his mother, 6th May, 1809. Mr. Garnons
served the office of sheriff for the county of Flint, in
1804, and for Carnarvonshire in 1805.

Lineage.
This family derives its descent from
ROBERT DE GERNON, one of the compa-
nions in arms of the CONQUEROR, who par-
ticipated largely in the fruits of the CON-
QUEST. His descendants flourished in the
counties of Essex, Cambridge, Lincoln,
Derby, and Hereford: from the branch
settled in the latter county, descended
JOHN, the son of ROBERT DE GERNON,
whose name is to be found in Domesday
Book, and who was the first to alter the
spelling from "Gernon" to "Garnons ;" vide
Visitation of Herefordsire, temp. JAMES I.
RICHARD GARNONS, (a junior member of
the family of the above John,) residing in
Pembrokeshire, wedded about the close of
the sixteenth, or beginning of the seventeenth
century, Catherine, daughter and sole heiress
of John Vaughan, second son of Griffith
Vaughan, esq. of Corsegedol, and from this

The right honorable gentleman died in

the pen of EDMUND BURKE, presents a faith-
ful delineation of his character:
To the Memory of
WILLIAM DOWDESWELL,
Representative in Parliament for the county of Worcester,
Chancellor of the Exchequer in the years 1765 and 1766, and a member of the King's Privy Council:
A SENATOR FOR TWENTY YEARS, A MINISTER FOR ONE, A VIRTUOUS CITIZEN FOR HIS WHOLE LIFE.
A man of unshaken constancy, inflexible integrity, unremitted industry.
His mind was generous, open, sincere.
His manners plain, simple, and noble: rejecting all sorts of duplicity and disguise
As useless to his designs and odious to his nature.
His understanding was comprehensive, steady, vigorous, made for the practicable business of the State.
In debate, he was clear, natural and convincing.
His knowledge in all things which concerned his duty profound.
He understood beyond any man of his time the REVENUES of his coUNTRY:
Which he preferred to every thing except its LIBERTIES.
He was perfect master of the law of Parliament, and attached to its privileges, until they were set
Up against the RIGHTS of the PEOPLE.
All the proceedings which have weakened Government, endangered FREEDOM, and distracted the
British Empire, were, by him, strenuously opposed;
And his last efforts, under which his health sunk, were to preserve
His country from a civil war, which being
Unable to prevent, he had not the misfortune to see.
He was not more respectable on the public scene, than amiable in private life:
Immersed in the greatest affairs, he never lost the ancient, native, genuine English character of
Country Gentleman,
Disdaining and neglecting no office in life.
He was a useful municipal magistrate with great care and clear judgment administering justice,
Maintaining the police, relieving the distresses and regulating the manners of the people
in the neighbourhood,
As husband, father, the kindlest, gentlest, most indulgent.
He was every thing to his family except what he gave up to his country.
His widow, who labours with life, in order to form
The minds of his eleven children to the resemblance
Of their father, erects this Monument.
Mr. Dowdeswell was s. by his eldest son,
THOMAS DOWDESWELL, esq. of Pull Court,
who had entered early into the military ser-
vice of his country, but owing to the fatigue
and cold which he experienced while upon
active service with his regiment in Ame-
rica, he became totally blind before his
thirty-third year. Miss Seward, in one of
herLetters," gives a most interesting des-
cription of Pull Court and its inmates at
this period. Mr. Dowdeswell m. in 1798,
Magdalena, second daughter of Sir Thomas
Pasley, bart. but dying issueless, in 1811,
the estates devolved upon his next brother.
WILLIAM DOWDESWELL, esq. who thus be-
came
"of Pull Court." This gentleman
having adopted the profession of arms,
served with high reputation in different
parts of the world, and attained the rank of
GENERAL in his Majesty's service. General
Dowdeswell represented Tewkesbury in
parliament from 1792 to 1796. He died on
the 1st December, 1828, unmarried, when
his Lancashire estates devolved upon his
next brother, EDWARD CHRISTOPHER
DowDESWELL, D.D. canon of Christ Church,
Oxford; while those in the counties of
Worcester and Gloucester passed to his
youngest brother, the present EDMUND
DoWDESWELL, esq. of Pull Court.

7. Lucy.
Lineage.
The family of CAY (or, as the name was
formerly spelt, KEY) is believed to have
enjoyed very fair possessions in the Eastern
Borders. The following traditional account
of the loss of their ancient patrimony is still
recorded: at a remote period, the head of
the family having quarrelled with another
gentleman, they agreed to settle their dis-
pute, by combat, within the Poundfold of
Alnwick. Having procured the key, they
locked themselves in, and threw it over the
wall. KEY killed his antagonist, leaped
over the wall, and made his escape on foot
to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, which was, at
that period, without the jurisdiction of the
Marchers.
This murder and flight constituting March
treason, Key's possessions were forfeited,
and he spent his life, in great indigence, at
Newcastle. His son
or grandson, how-
ever, found means to be bound apprentice
to a brewer in Newcastle, and for several
generations they pursued that business, the
family continuing to this day freemen of the
Corporation of Brewers and Bakers there.
In this line of business, a considerable
trade was at length established by Robert
Key or Cay, of Newcastle, which was much
4. Edward.

extended by his widow, when left with a
large family, for whom she amply provided.
By her exertions a good deal of property
was acquired to the family in Newcastle
and elsewhere. She was twice nearly ruined
by fires, yet, by economy and prudence, she
grew rich, and built houses for four of her
sons, to whom she gave an excellent educa-
tion. At a late period of her life, she con-
nected herself in trade with her third son,
Robert, but being obliged to pay debts con-
tracted through his extravagance, was re-
duced to poverty. Her resolution was,
however, not to be shaken-she began the
world again, throve, and grew rich, leaving
ample provisions to her family.
Her eldest son,
JABEZ CAY, studied at Edinburgh Uni-
versity, in the reign of CHARLES II. when
James, Duke of York, was high commis-
sioner in Scotland, 1682.
sioner in Scotland, 1682. He was one of a
number of students, who, according to an-
nual custom, on the 5th November, burnt an
effigy of the pope, at the gate of the palace of
Holyrood. For this, he, along with others,
was summoned before the privy council,
and was banished from Scotland. He went
to Padua, to complete his studies, and hav-
ing taken the degree of doctor in physic
there, he returned, and practised in North-
umberland, where he accumulated a con-
siderable fortune, and, in conjunction with
a person of the name of Hutchinson, pur-
chased the estate of North Charlton, in 1696.
Dr. Cay dying in 1702, unmarried, left his
share of the property to his brother,
JOHN CAY, esq. who obtained also from
the representatives of Hutchinson, their
interest in the estate, and thus became of
North Charlton. He_m. Grace, daughter
and co-heir of Henry Woolff, esq. of Bred-

man was engaged in considerable mercantile
speculations, the manufacture of salt, &c. He
published a letter in the newspapers of the
day, signed with the initials B. K. suggest-
ing the institution of an infirmary at New-
castle. The proposal was followed, and
thus gave rise to that excellent establish-
ment. The circumstance was commemo-
rated by giving the name of B. K. ward to

which name it still retains. He m. Eliza-

Lineage.
The family of GREAVES is of high anti-
quity, its patriarch having passed into Eng-
land in the train of the CONQUEROR. The
first of its members, however, of whom we
possess any authentic record, is
- LES GREVES, who was seated at Beely
and Greves, in Derbyshire, as early as the
reign of HENRY I. from which time, until the
latter end of the seventeenth century, his
descendants continued to reside there. They
had several grants from the crown; the last
of which was in the 12th year of JAMES I.
when that prince granted to John Greaves,
esq. the then possessor of Beely, the power
of holding a court leet for the manors of
Beely, Stanton Birchover, Bridgetown,
Coroley, Gratton, and Winster. In 1664,
the old hereditary estates at Beely were
sold to John, Earl of Rutland, and the head
of the family left Beely, and settled at
Mayfield, in Staffordshire, where his descen-
dants have ever since remained.

Lineage.
The family of Lyttelton has been of long
standing in the county of Worcester, and had
considerable possessions in the vale of Eve-
sham, particularly at South Lyttelton, whence
the name has probably been assumed, in the
beginning of the thirteenth century.

three sons. This Thomas was a considerable
benefactor to religious institutions, particu-
larly to the convents of Pershore, and the
abbey of Evesham. He was s. at his decease
by his eldest son,
pos-
Edmund de LuttELTON, who resided at

spirit (to use the phraseology of Lord Coke),
and having large possessions and inheritances
from her ancestors, de Luttelton, and from
her mother, the daughter and co-heiress of
Quatermain, and other ancestors, resolved
to continue the honour of her name, and
therefore provided, by Westcote's assent,
before marriage, that her issue inheritable
should be called by the name of Luttelton.

the northern circuit. In 1464 (the fourth
year of King EDWARD IV.) Mr. Serjeant
Lyttelton was appointed one of the judges
of the court of Common Pleas; and the king
granted him, at the same time, out of the
customs of London, Bristol, and Hull, 110
marks yearly, with the sum of 106s. 10 d. for
a robe and furs, and 66s. 6d. for a summer
robe, called linura. In the 15th year of the
same monarch, he was created with the
Prince of Wales, and other persons of dis-
tinction, a Knight of the Bath. Sir Tho-
mas wrote his celebrated "Treatise on Te-
nures," after he had ascended the bench; a
book, which Lord Coke has characterized,
as the ornament of the common law, and
the most perfect and absolute work that ever
was wrote in any human science."

such designations became hereditary in that
kingdom.
The surname of METHUEN, written at dif- | rony of Methven, in Scotland, as soon as
ferent times Meffan, Methfen, Methfin,
Methfyn, Methwyn, Methwen, and METH- |
VEN, is local, and was assumed from the ba-
"The traditional account of the origin of
METHUEN, OF CORSHAM.

the Methvens (says Sir Robert Douglas) | the barony to John, Duke of Albany, which,
that a man of distinction accompanied Queen on the forfeiture of Duke Murdock in 1425,
MARGARET from Hungary; and being of sin- passed to the Crown, and continued vested
gular merit, as well as of high rank, became therein, until conferred by King JAMES V.
a mighty favorite with King MALCOLM CAN- upon his mother, Queen MARGARET. The
MORE, who, to induce him to stay in his king- laird died in the reign of JAMES I. and was s.
dom, bestowed upon him the lands and ba- by his
by his son,
rony of Methven, in Perthshire, where he
settled, from which his posterity assumed
their surname; and, to keep in remembrance
their descent from Germany, they often car-
ried their arms blazoned on the breast of a
spread eagle.”
At such a distance of time, it is hardly
possible to name with accuracy the person
first called METHVEN, but we find many per-
sons of distinction bearing that surname in
the early annals of Scotland, so far back
even as the beginning of the thirteenth
century.
PATRICK DE METHVEN, who possessed
the lands and barony of Methven in the
time of ALEXANDER III. was father of
SIR
Sir Roger de METHVEN, one of the gal-
lant followers of ROBERT BRUCE, but com-
pelled to submit to the Royal Invader in
1296. This eminent person espoused first
the widow of Malise, Earl of Strathern, a
lady who then enjoyed the largest fortune in
the kingdom. By this marriage Sir Roger
acquired the lands of Keiller, &c., but having
no issue, those estates reverted, upon the
decease of the Countess, to the family of
Strathern. Sir Roger wedded a second time,
and had two sons,
PAUL, his successor.
WILLIAM, heir to his brother
The name of Sir Roger Methven occurs in
numerous charters; the last deed in which
we find it mentioned is one from the Coun-
tess of Strathern to Sir Robert Erskine, knt.
and Dame Christian Keith, his spouse, of the
lands of Kentullock, in Perthshire, to which
instrument Sir Roger is a subscribing wit-
ness. He died at an advanced age in the
reign of King DAVID BRUCE, and was s. by
his elder son,
PAUL DE METHVEN, of Methven, who was
appointed in 1363 ambassador extraordinary
to conclude a treaty of peace with England.
He died without issue, and was s. by his
brother,
WILLIAM DE METHVEN, of that Ilk, who
was s. at his decease temp. ROBERT II. by
his son,
WILLIAM DE METHVEN, of that Ilk. This
laird had a charter under the great seal in
1376 from King ROBERT II. He died in the
ensuing reign, and was s. by his son,
JOHN DE METHVEN, of that Ilk, who ap-
pears to have been accredited to England in
1397 as ambassador extraordinary. About|
this period the laird alienated the castle of
Methven and part of the lands comprising
JOHN DE METHVEN. This gentleman was
distinguished at the court of JAMES II.and en-
joyed in an especial degree the favor of that
monarch. In 1440 he was one of the prin-
cipal secretaries of state, and lord register
of Scotland; and in 1449 he was employed
upon an embassy to England, when he suc-
ceeded in his mission--that of prolonging an
existing truce. The next year he revisited
the English court, and again in a diploma-
tic capacity, to negotiate several important
affairs of state. Thenceforward, scarcely
any political transaction of moment occurred
in which he was not engaged; and in all he
acquitted himself with ability, honor, and
fidelity. He wedded a daughter of Sir John
Haldane of Gleneagles, and dying in the
time of JAMES III. was s. by (his son or
grandson),
JOHN DE METHVEN, who retained still a
portion of the hereditary lands in Perth-
shire. He m. a daughter of John Black-
adder of Tulliallan, and dying soon after
the year 1502, was s. by his son,
ANDREW DE METHVEN, who wedded Isa-

seems to have obtained a share in his father's
lands) his successor,

SIR PAUL METHUEN was a man of extra-
ordinary accomplishments, singular integri-
ty, and powerful abilities. In 1692 he ac-
companied the embassy to Lisbon in the ca-
pacity of secretary, and continued to fulfil
the duties of that office for five years, when he
succeeded his father, whose services were
required in Ireland, as envoy. He remained
at the court of Lisbon until 1705, when he
was accredited envoy to the court of Savoy;
but upon the decease of his father in the
next year, he returned to Portugal as am-
bassador-extraordinary and minister pleni-
potentiary. In 1709 he was appointed one
of the lords of the Admiralty, from which,
in 1714, he was transferred to the Treasury,
and then sworn of the privy council. At
this period he was sent ambassador to the
King of Spain. In 1716 he was constituted
principal secretary of state; in 1720 made
comptroller of the household; in 1725 in-
stalled a knight of the Bath, and the same
year appointed treasurer of the household,

queathed to his brother Anthony, all his other
lands, wheresoever to him and his heirs, with all
his goods moveable and immoveable, and all his
debts. And his said brother Anthony to find one
honest priest to sing three yeare for his soule, and
his father and mother's soule. He willed that his
said brother Anthony see "that Jane Bainton have
a liffing in sickness and in health, within his
house, or without, as he and she agreed, whether
she likes best, for she is a pore critor, and hath
been my servand longe, and she hath nothing to
liffe on; and if it please God that I die in time of
peace at home," he bequeathed to Thornton-in-
the-Street Church, 6s. 8d. and to Hilton, 4s. to
pray for his father's, his mother's, and his own soul."
A dispute arose between the brother, Robert
Meynell, the sergeant, and the nephew Roger
Meynell (son and heir of Anthony) relative to the
succession to Henry's estates, which was ulti-
mately decided by a decree of the court of the lord
president of the North, at York, the Earl of Rutland
president, dated June 18, 1562. After reciting that
Henry Meynell, uncle of Roger (the plaintiff)
being seized in fee of six messuages and six
hundred acres of land, in North Kilvington and
Thornaby, did, by his will, devise the same to his
brother, Anthony Meynell, father of Roger, the
plaintiff, who conveyed them to the said Roger,
his son, and by virtue thereof, the said Roger
became seized in fee, and enjoyed the same until
disturbed by the said Robert Meynell, the ser
geant, decreed that the said complainant, Roger
Meynell, should quietly enjoy the said premises.

confiscated to the crown. He d. in 1591, and
was s. by his elder son,

the victims of religious persecution, was
committed in 1600, as a recusant, to the
statutes then in severe force on account of the
implied understanding that his two uncles should

upon the demise of John Meynell, Major John

SIKES, THE REV. JOSEPH, of the Chauntry House, in the county of Notting-
ham, LL.B. b. 13th November, 1781, succeeded his father in 1798.
Lineage
This ancient family, as we are informed
by Mr. Thoresby in his "Ducatus Leodien-
sis," published in 1715, derives its surname
from Sikes, or Sike-Dyke, near Carlisle, in
Cumberland, among the gentry of which
shire we find Walter de Sike returned about
the commencement of the fifteenth century.
One of its branches subsequently settled at
Leeds, in Yorkshire, the same learned an-
tiquary acquainting us (after describing the
castle of that town besieged by King STE-
PHEN on his march to Scotland, and in which
the ill-fated RICHARD II. lodged some time
prior to his barbarous murder in Pontefract)
that "where of old it stood, is now a capital
messuage, and the ancient manor-house,
lately with the park, &c. the estate of Ri-
chard Sikes, esq.; his grandson Richard
having also it appears been Alderman of
|
|
Leedes when first incorporated, and his son
Richard, Parson of Kirkheaton, £1350 deep
in the list of compounders," -a circum-
stance of singular distinction at that period.
The name was of eminency in RICHARD III.'s
time, when, by the "inquisitiones post mor-
tem, et ad quod damnum," we learn that a
writ of mesne was sued by Robert de Sike
against Daniel Fletwitch, to acquit him of
services demanded by the King, the said
Robert holding of the crown as mesne lord.
It appears also, that Robert and Henrie de
Sike were parties, or witnesses, to a deed of
extensive transfer early in the reign of
ELIZABETH; a curious portrait of the latter
(Henrie) is now, among others of little less
antiquity, at the Chauntry House. In a
subsequent era, the close of Queen Anne's
reign, a Captain Richard Sikes was sent on
a military mission to Ireland, and appointed
governor of the town and castle of Athlone.
THE REV. RICHARD SIKES, fifth in lineal
descent from Richard Sikes, of Sikes Dyke,
temp. HENRY VI. and eldest son of the Rev.
Richard Sikes, the Rector of Kirkheaton,
was himself Rector of Spofforth and preben-
dary of York. He espoused Anna, daughter
of the Rev. Mark Micklethwait, Rector of
Long Marston, and had, with other children,
who d. issueless, a son and heir,
RICHARD SIKES, esq. M. A. who wedded
Martha, daughter and heiress of SIR FRANCIS
CAVENDISH BURTON, of St. Helens, in the
county of Derby, and dying in 1696, left a
son and successor,

uncle to the fifth Countess of Exeter, and
left, at his decease in 1751, a son,
JOSEPH SIKES, esq. who was, for nearly
half a century, one of the acting magistrates
and deputy lieutenants for the counties of
Nottingham and Derby, and was, as such,
not less properly than liberally excused the |
office of sheriff for either county. He was
during an extended period chairman of the
Newark bench,as also of its local magistracy,
and in those important capacities was in fre-
quent correspondence at eventful epochs
with several of the principal members of the
then Governments. He held for some time
the honorable station of one of the gentle-
men of the privy chamber to King GEORGE
III. and during the more meridian dis-
tinction of that celebrated military com-
mander, the Marquess of Granby, was
strongly urged by his Lordship, as well as
by his own second cousin, Brownlow, ninth
Earl of Exeter, (great uncle to the present
Marquess) to accept, as a reward for his
valuable and indefatigable public services,
their recommendation for a baronetage, an
honor which he more than once declined.
This praiseworthy country gentleman, who
was thrice Mayor of Newark, espoused first
Jane, daughter of Robert Heron, esq. of
Newark, and aunt to Sir Robert Heron, bt.
but by her, who died in 1778, had no sur-
viving issue.

Mr. Sullivan passed the early part of his life in the civil departments of the public ser-
vice in India, and in the year 1781, was vested with the powers of government over all
the provinces south of the river Cavary. Upon the termination of the war with Tippoo
Sultan in 1785, Mr. Sullivan returned to England. In 1790 he was elected to
parliament for the borough of Old Sarum. In 1801, he was appointed under secre-
tary of state for the war and colonial department. In 1806 he was sworn of the privy
council, and in 1812, was appointed a commissioner of the board of control, where he

Lineage.
This family is descended from the very |
ancient house of "O'Sullivan More," whose
possessions formerly extended over the
greater part of the counties of Cork and
Kerry. A curious document relative to the
family is still preserved in the Record
Office in Dublin. Sir Owen O'Sullivan,
who, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth was
Tanist, or representative of the Sullivans,
during the minority of the son of the elder
brother, having refused to relinquish the
distinction, when his nephew became of
age, the queen instituted a special commis-
sion to enquire into the cause.
The report
of the Lord President of Munster upon the
matter, forms the ground of the document
in the Record Office, and gives much infor-
mation on the custom of tanistry, which at
that period generally prevailed in Ireland.
The lineal representative of this ancient
family,
PHILIP O'SULLIVAN, esq. of the city of
Cork, died in 1737, leaving two sons,

his professional character," says Mr. Baker,
(History of Northamptonshire)
distinguished by an honest, blunt integrity,
and in the intercourse of private life, by a
considerate, humane disposition, of which
the following anecdote furnishes a pleasing
illustration: An old man, whom he had em-
ployed in hewing stones, lived to be above
ninety years old, and for some time had
daily spoiled the stones, instead of render-
ing them fit for use. Lady Blencowe per-
ceiving it, begged the judge to continue him
his eight-pence a day, and desire him to stay
at home. " No, no," said the judge, "let him
spoil on; he has a pleasure in thinking he
earns his daily bread at fourscore years and
ten: but if you turn him off, he will soon
die with grief."

Lineage.
This ancient house derives its surname
from the town of Marsham, in Norfolk,
where it maintained a prominent rank as
far back as the reign of HENRY I. There
remains, however, at present no regular
record of the family until the time of Ed-
WARD I. when
JOHN DE MARSHAM was living at Mar-
sham. He d. in 1325, and was s. by his
son,
THOMAS DE MARSHAM, who bore for arms,
66 a chevron between a mullet and crescent
in chief, and a croslet in base." His son
and heir,
ROBERT DE MARSHAM, was the first of
the family that settled at Stratton. He
espoused Katherine and was s. at his
decease by his son,
ROBERT MARSHAM, of Stratton, living in
1465, who m. Margaret and had four
sons, viz. JOHN, his successor; Andrew and
Robert, who both left issue; and Richard,
a monk and almoner in the priory at Nor-
wich. The eldest,
JOHN MARSHAM, of Stratton, appears to
have used the present armorial ensigns of
the family. He d. in 1473, and was s. by
his son,
JOHN MARSHAM, of Stratton, who d, in
1515, leaving by his wife Ellyne, who de-
ceased the same year, three sons and a
daughter, viz.
1. THOMAS, his heir.
2. John, who was sheriff of Norwich in
1510, and mayor in 1518. He wed-
ded Elizabeth, eldest daughter of
Hamond Claxton, of Chedeston, in
Suffolk, and dying in 1525, left with
two daughters, two sons, viz.
Thomas, sheriff of Norwich in
1543, M.P. for the same town in
1548, and mayor in 1554, who

(who subsequently m. Sir Robert Drury,
bart. of Ridlesworth, and was killed by the
falling of a stack of chimneys, in 1703) he
left no issue at his decease in 1674, and was
s. by his only surviving brother,

Miss Mary Browne, and had a son, ROBERT,

Lineage
Winchester, WILLIAM OF WYKEHAM, the
founder of Winchester College, and of New
College, Oxford. It is still however a con-
tested point, whether this eminent church-
man was or was not a lineal descendant of
the Wykehams of Swalcliffe.* They have
from time immemorial claimed him as one
of their race; and in later times an inter-
marriage has taken place between Richard

The family of WYKEHAM has been settled
at SWALCLIFFE from a very remote period; we
find mention made of a SIR RALPH WYKE-
HAM, living in the time of King JOHN, and
of a Sir ROBERT WYKEHAM, contemporary
with HENRY III.; but of these knights
little more is recorded. The great luminary
of the family was the celebrated Bishop of

2. The distinct assertion of Nicholas Harps-
ed as "omni literarum genere ornatus," that the
prelate was a descendant of the Sir Ralph Wyke-

WYKEHAM, OF THAME.
Wykeham of Swalcliffe, and the sister of
Richard Fiennes, last Viscount Say and
Sele, who was the lineal descendant and ul-
timate heiress of WILLIAM of WYKEHAM.*
From the time of the above Sir Robert
Wykeham, there is a chasm until about the
commencement of the fourteenth century,
when
ROBERT WYKEHAM, Lord of Swalcliffe,
espoused Maud, daughter and heiress of
Reginald Waterville. He was s. by
SIR ROBERT WYKEHAM, kt. Lord of Swal-
cliffe and Wykeham,who married Elizabeth,
daughter and heiress of Sir John Le Sore,
and was s. by his son,
JOHN WYKEHAM, who wedded Alys Lyg-
garde, and had a son and successor,
THOMAS WYKEHAM, whose son and heir,
by his wife Joyce Hanbury,
SIR EDWARD WYKEHAM, married Isabella,
daughter of Gyles Powlton, and was s. by
his son,
HUMPHRY WYKEHAM, esq. living in 1569,
who m. the daughter of Edward Underhill,
and left a son and successor,
RICHARD WYKEHAM, esq. who wedded
Anne Houldbrook, and was s. by his son,
the Swalcliffe family living in Hampshire, the
native county of William, of Wykeham.
4. The more than ordinary connexion which
appears to have existed between the Swalcliffe
family and the bishop. He gave the manors of
Newton and Broughton for two lives to Thomas
Wykeham, of Swalcliffe. He made extensive pur-
chases in the neighbourhood, and he devised large
legacies to four members of that family. One of
them, Nicholas de Wykeham, was the first war-
den of New College. John Wykeham was elected
to the same college, about the time of the founder's
death, and Richard, one of the Hampshire branch,
soon afterwards. The bishop's heir took the name
of Wykeham.
5. The fact that though he entered the service
of EDWARD the III. as secretary at twenty-four,
we never find him called by any other name.

Towards the close of EDWARD's reign he was
deprived of his preferments through the enmity of
the Duke of Lancaster, but his disgrace was of
brief duration, and he was fully reinstated. After
the death of the King he was impeached, but
most honorably acquitted, and he then obtained
a pardon from the crown, to protect him from simi-
lar persecution in future. Having escaped these
perils he directed his mind to acts of benevolence,
and commenced the building of New College in
1379, which he completed in seven years. In 1387
he laid the foundation of his college at Winches-
ter, and finished that work in 1393. These two
establishments were subsequently adopted as mo-
dels for the colleges of Eton and Westminster,
and for King's College, Cambridge.
He was again chancellor from 1389 to 1392;
again impeached in 1397, and again acquitted,
From this period he mixed little in politics, but
devoted himself almost entirely to the affairs of
his diocess and colleges. He died in 1404, and
lies buried in Winchester cathedral.
* This eminent person, who was born at WYKE-
HAM, in Hampshire, anno 1324, owed his early
education to the liberality of Sir Nicolas Uvedale, to
whom, after quitting Oxford, he acted for some
time as private secretary; a situation which he also
filled in the service of Edington, Bishop of Win-
chester. About the period he had reached his

This family claims Saxon origin, and
takes its name from the manor of Polwhele,
(in Domesday Polhel) in the county of
Cornwall, a manor occupied, under EDWARD
the Confessor, by WINUS DE POLHAL (Pol-
wel or Polwyl), and then by ULFIUS, a vil-
lein of the earl of Moreton; but that was a
temporary possession. To make room for
the earl of Moreton, the CONQUEROR had
expelled the former earl, and all his ad-
herents, from their hereditary lands. In
the year 1140, the EMPRESS, then trium-liament, in the 4th and 5th of PHILIP AND

victorious adherents, conferred lands in
Cornwall, upon her chamberlain,

+ At the time of the Norman Conquest, stood
about two miles east of Truro, the castle of POL-
WHELE, not far probably from that high ground call-
ed "The Barrows," in which sepulchral urns had
been deposited, and between which and the pre-
sent mansion house, fragments of gothic arches
and pillars, and sculptured and inscribed stones,
and baptismal fonts (the work of after ages), have
been discovered, and are perhaps still discover-
able.
At the other extremity of what is now the
parish of St Clement, stood the Castle of MORESK,
overshadowing from its turrets "a branch of the
sea.
""
Of these castles we have no distinct account
till the reign of EDWARD the Fourth. It was then,
in 1473, that William of Worcestre came into
Cornwall; and in the vicinity of Truro he notices
the two rival castles. The castle of Polwhele
was the property of a gentleman then in the ser-
vice of the King. The castle of Moresk was oc-
cupied by a vassal of the Duke of Cornwall, stand-
ing near the sea, at the extreme point of the
Duchy Manor. Polwhele, unconnected with the
Duchy, and independent of the Dukes," in Villa

the night in "Villa Polwhele," a guest of Otho,
that the castle of Polwhele was then reduced to
ruins; and it was so reduced, probably by the
adherents of Queen MARGARET.
Polwhele's Traditions and Recollection,

1. Julian, m. to Carminow.
2. Jane, m. to Penwarn.
3. Catherine, m. to Polwhele.
4. Honor, m. to Mohun.
Some little scattered property still remains with
the Polwhele family, a memorial of their alli-
ance with Mohun and Carminow; as also a few
small tenements commemorative of their con-
nexion with Edgcumbe, Glanville, and Godol-
phin. In the north side of the old church at St.
Erme, there was an aged monument, (now placed
in the vestry room of the new church,) charged
with five shields of armorial bearings. 1st. Tren-

"We will close this hundred with the gen-

mand of Ralph Lord Hopton, then Sir James
Smith, in the quality of a Major of Horse, and
continued in arms until the surrender of Penden-
nis Castle; from whence he went to his late Ma-
jesty of blessed memory, and afterwards followed
his now Majesty (Charles II.) in Holland and

turned into Cornwall, his native county, where
he betook himself to the study and practice of

CROMWELL, OF CHESHUNT PARK.
420
Lineage.
The family of the PROTECTOR, which
arose in Wales, and was deemed illustrious
by the genealogists of the principality, bore
the surname of CROMWELL, by assumption
only, its patronimic, WILLIAMS, having been
abandoned at the special desire of King
HENRY VIII. "That monarch," saith
Noble, "
strongly recommended to the
Welch, (whom he incorporated with the
English) to adopt the mode of most civilized
nations, in taking family names instead of
their manner of adding their father's, and
perhaps grandfather's name to their own
Christian one, with nap, or ap, between the
Christian and sirname, as Morgan ap Wil-
liams, or Richard ap Morgan ap Williams,
that is, Richard, the son of Morgan, the son
of Williams; and the king was the more
anxious, as it was found so inconvenient in
identifying persons in judicial matters.-
Richard's father seems to have taken the
name of Williams for his family name; but
as the sirname of Williams was of so late a
standing, his Majesty recommended it to
Sir Richard to use that of CROMWELL, in
honor of his relation, the EARL OF ESSEX,
whose present greatness entirely obliterated
his former meanness.' >>
YEVAN AP MORGAN, of New Church,
near Cardiff, in the county of Glamorgan,
who wedded Margaret, daughter of Jenkin
Remys, esq. of Bagam, and was s. by his
| eldest son,
WILLIAM AP YEVAN, servant to Jasper
Tudor, Duke of Bedford, and to King HEN-
RY VII. whose son and heir,
MORGAN WILLIAMS, espoused the sister of
THOMAS CROMWELL, Earl of Essex,* and
had issue,
RICHARD, his successor.
Walter, who left two daughters, Joan
and Anne.
Richard, who left a son, Henry.
The eldest son,
SIR RICHARD WILLIAMS, assumed, as
already stated, at the desire of HENRY
VIII. the surname of his uncle, Cromwell,
and through the influence of that once pow-
erful relative, himself and his family ob-

Sir Richard Cromwell served
the office of sheriff for the counties of Cam-
bridge and Huntingdon, in 1541, and was
member for the latter shire in the parliament
which began January 16, 1542. He wedded
in 1518, Frances, daughter and co-heir of
the then lord-mayor of London, Sir Thomas
Murfyn, of Ely, and had two sons, viz.
HENRY (Sir) his successor.

of Huntingdon, M.P. for that shire
in the 15th of ELIZABETH, and sheriff
for the counties of Cambridge and
Huntingdon, in the 29th of the same
reign. He m. Margaret, daughter of
Henry Mannock, of Hemingford, and

The elder son and heir,
SIR HENRY CROMWELL, of Hinchinbrooke,
received the honor of knighthood from
Queen ELIZABETH, in 1563, and the same
year was returned to parliament by the
county of Huntingdon. He was sheriff for
the shires of Huntingdon and Cambridge in
the 7th, 13th, 22nd and 34th of ELIZABETH.

* Of this lady nothing is very certainly known:
according to Noble, as well as Brooke, she sprang
from a branch of the royal family of STUART, and
the descent is thus deduced:
BANQUO, Thane of Lochabar, slain by MACBETH,
was grandfather of
WALTER, who was created LORD HIGH STEWARD
of Scotland.
His son,
ALEXANDER, Second Lord Steward, had with
other issue,
JOHN, OF JAMES, (the eldest son) who suc-
ceeded as third Lord Steward. His son,
WALTER, Lord Steward, espoused MAR-
GERY, only daughter, by his first
wife, of King ROBERT BRUCE, and had
a son,
ROBERT STUART, who ascended the
Scottish throne at the decease of
his uncle, DAVID II. in 1370, as
ROBERT II. (the first monarch of
the house of STUART.)
Andrew, (the third son.)
ANDREW (the third son) Steward, of Dunda-
vale, was father of
SIR ALEXANDER STEUART, in the service of the
King of France, and slain at Vannoile. His
son,
SIR JOHN STEWART, knt. settled in England,
and was grandfather of
THOMAS STEWART, esq. of Swaffam Market, in
the county of Norfolk, whose grandson,
NICHOLAS STEWART, of Well, in Norfolk, m.
Cicely, daughter and heiress of
Baskerville,

Note-This connection between the Usurper
and his ROYAL VICTIM, may or may not be au-
thentic, all it shows, however, is that they de-
scended from a common progenitor.
OLIVER CROMWELL, then a youth of eigh-
teen, having been born in the parish of St.
John, Huntingdon, on the 25th April, 1599.
The education of this eminent man was at
first entrusted to the Rev. Mr. Long, of his
native town, but he was afterwards placed
under the care of Doctor Beard, master of
the free grammar school in the same place,
whence he removed to Cambridge, and
entered Sydney Sussex College, as a fellow
commoner, 23rd April, 1616. Subsequently
he is stated to have become a member of
Lincoln's Inn, and to have given himself
up to "a habit of gaming, the juice of the
grape, and the charms of the fair." His
career of intemperance was not however of
long duration, for we find him before he
had quite attained majority "returning to
Huntington, harkening to the advice of his
mother, aftending divine service regularly
in his parish church, renouncing his former
vicious companions, and with them his ex-
travagancies." He m. on the 20th August,

marriage he became a resident at Hursley; and
was distinguished only as the complete country
gentleman, devoted entirely to his wife, and to
his horses, hounds, hawks, &c. In this compa-
ratively happy retirement he lived for some time;

likely to have maintained the post of
Protector, than either of her brothers;

her, (he continues) that those who

better, but if those in petticoates had

eldest son of his serene highness, the Protector."
On the demise of his father, he succeeded to the
sovereign power; it has been remarked as tran-
quilly, and with as little opposition as though he
had been the descendant of a long line of princes.
But according to Bishop Burnet, ❝he had neither
genius, nor friends, nor treasure, nor army to sup-
port him," and his sway was consequently brief.
His reign lasted but seven months and twenty-
eight days. He resided abroad until about 1680;
but where his various peregrinations led him, is
not known with any degree of certainty. When
he returned to his own country he appears to have
assumed the name of Clark, and to have resided
at Serjeant (afterwards Chief Baron) Pengelly's
house, at Cheshunt; to the end of his life courting
privacy and retirement, and cautiously avoiding
so much as the mention of his former elevation,
even to his most intimate acquaintance. He died
at Cheshunt, 13th July, 1712, in the eighty-eighth
year of his age, and was buried with some pomp
in the chancel of Hursley church, Hampshire,
near his deceased lady.-Thomas Cromwell.

Cromwell, after a series of military tri-
umphs, was declared LORD PROTECTOR On
the 12th December, 1653, and inaugurated
on the 16th of the same month. There
hardly one man in the whole range of his-
tory whose good sword achieved an empire,
with less of the hero in his composition,
than this successful soldier. Fanaticism ·
superstition, and cruelty, were the predomi-
nating traits of his character.
A pro-
found hypocrite, he regarded every body
who approached him with suspicion; his
nearest kindred were objects of distrust.
He had no friends; and when, with himself,
the influence of his name expired, his family
fell without a struggle. Cromwell died at
Whitehall, on the 3d September, 1658, and
was publicly interred, with regal pomp, in
HENRY VII.'s chapel, on the 23d Novem-
ber following. His remains, with those of
Ireton and Bradshaw, were dug up, after
the Restoration, and being pulled out of
their coffins, hanged at Tyburn on the 30th
January, 1660-1, until sunset; when they
were taken down, beheaded, and flung into
a deep hole under the gallows. When the
coffin of Cromwell was broken into, a leaden
canister was found lying on his breast, and
within it a copperplate, gilt, with the arms
of England, impaling those of Cromwell, on
one side, and on the other the following in-
scription: "Oliverius Protector Reipub-
licæ Angliæ, Scotia, et Hiberniæ, natus 25›
Aprilus, anno 1599°; inauguratus 16° De-
cembris, 1653; mortuus 30 Septembris,
anno 1658, hic situs est." The Protector's
mother died four years before himself, and
was buried in Westminster Abbey. His
fourth son,
HENRY CROMWELL, b. 20th January,
1627-8, entered on a military life at the
age of sixteen, and served under his father
in Ireland, of which kingdom he was after-
wards lord deputy. "In every situation,"
says Doctor Leland, "Henry Cromwell was
indeed, was his prudent conduct during his
penetrating, just, and generous." So great,
lieutenancy, that he brought the nation into
a flourishing condition, and he behaved
with such strict impartiality in his govern-
ment, as to extort esteem from the most un-
compromising royalists. He was endowed,
however, with the same moderate disposi-
tion as his brother Richard, and on the de-
mise of his father, quietly resigned his
command, returning to England, where he
continued afterwards to reside as a country
gentleman, unconcerned in the various
changes of the state, and unembittered by
the ills of ambition. It is even thought
that he rejoiced in the restoration of the
king, and he was not only included in the
act of indemnity, but received some marks

Lineage.
Of the establishment of the family of
DUNLOP of that Ilk, we have no authentic
accounts. The first is in the reign of
ALEXANDER III. when,
DOM. GULIELMUS DE DUNLOP appears as
one of those who sate on an inquest to settle
a dispute between Dom. Godfredus de Ross
and the borough of Irvine, anno 1260. In
1296,
NIEL FITZ ROBERT DE DUNLOP signed
the Ragman's Roll. In 1351
JAMES DUNLOP was in possession of Dun-
lop as appears from an old valuation of the
county of Ayr. He was s. by
JOHN DE DUNLOP, who had a charter from
Hugh de Blair, dated 1407.
Alexander Dunlop, of the lands of Hanthall,
dated 1471. This son, his successor,
ALEXANDER DUNLOP, of Dunlop, was
father of
CONSTANTYNE DUNLOP, whose retour as
Dunlop of that Ilk is dated 1476.
He was
s. by his son,
CONSTANTYNE DUNLOP, of that Ilk, who
was appointed by parliament, in 1489,
among other lords (as they were termed) to
collect the by-gone rents and casualties of
the crown. He is, also, mentioned as a
member of an inquest on the retour of Ma-
thew, earl of Lennox. Constantyne Dun-
lop d. in 1505, leaving (with a daughter,
Jannet, m. to James Stuart, sheriff of Bute,
great-grandson of King ROBERT II.) a son
and successor,
JOHN DUNLOP, of that Ilk, whose infeoft-
ment is not dated till 1507. This gentle-
man m. in 1492, Marion Douglas, and had
one son, ALEXANDER, and a daughter, who
wedded Hugh Maxwell, of Auld House.
He d. in 1509, and was s. by his son,
ALEXANDER DUNLOP, of that Ilk, who
wedded Ellen Cuninghame, of the house of
Glencairn, and had five sons, JAMES, Wil-
liam, Constantyne, Robert, and Andrew; by
the eldest of whom,
JAMES DUNLOP, of that Ilk; he was suc-
ceeded at his decease in 1549. This gen-
tleman espoused Isabel, daughter of Gavin
Hamilton, of Orbieston, and had two sons,
JAMES and Allan. He was s. at his decease,
by the elder,

of JAMES II. appears to have been suc- ville, and had issue,

Garnkirk.

DUNLOP OF THAT ILK,

alliance are descended the Dunlops
of Househill.

lands of Bloak.
The laird of Dunlop died in 1616, and was
s. by his son,
JAMES DUNLOP, esq. of that Ilk. This
gentleman m. in 1614, Margaret, relict of
John Campbell, bishop of Lismore, or Ar-
gyle, and daughter of Gavin Hamilton, bishop
of Galloway, son of John Hamilton, of
Orbieston, slain at the battle of Langside.
By her he had a son JAMES, who eventually
succeeded. Resisting the government of
CHARLES I. in its attempt to introduce epis-
copacy into Scotland, the laird of Dunlop,
for the purpose of security executed a deed
making over his estate to his brother, John
of Garnkirk; this deed was acted on in
1633, when his brother took possession, and
in five years after, made a resignation to
his nephew,
JAMES DUNLOP, esq. of that Ilk, who es-
poused Elizabeth, daughter of Alexander
Cunninghame, esq. of Corsehill, by Mary,
daughter of Sir Patrick Houstoun, of that
Ilk, and had issue,
ALEXANDER, his heir.
John, of whom nothing is known.
Jean, m. in 1674, to William Ralston,
esq. of Ralston.
Marion, m. to David Montgomery, esq.
of Lainshaw.
During the civil wars Dunlop appears to
have acted a prominent part. He was sub-
sequently a warm supporter of the Presby-
terians, and was obliged, in consequence,
to make over a considerable portion of his
estates to Lord Dundonald. From 1665 to
1667, he suffered imprisonment, but was
liberated in the latter year under a bond of
12,000 marks, notwithstanding which, we
find him, within a few months only, joining
in the rising of the Pentland Hills. He
was s. at his demise, by his elder son,
ALEXANDER DUNLOP, esq. who does not
appear ever to have obtained possession of
the barony of Dunlop, which his father had
made over to Lord Dundonald. This laird
was a zealous supporter of the cause of
liberty and the covenant. Upon suspicion
of being concerned in the rising of Bothwell
Bridge, he was arrested on the 30th July,
1683, compelled to surrender a portion of
his estates, and to execute a bond for
£12,000 to appear in the November follow-
ing. He was indicted anew in April, 1684,
when he made over to his son, John, the
lands which had been settled upon him on
his marriage. He emigrated soon after to
America, and was appointed in 1685, sheriff
of South Carolina. He married in 1667,
Antonia, daughter and heiress of Sir John
Brown, of Fordal, by Mary Scott, daughter
435
and co-heiress of Sir John Scott, of Rossie,
quarter master general to the army in the
early part of CHARLES the First's reign.
He left a son and heir,
JOHN DUNLOP, esq. who obtained the ba-
rony of Peacock Bank and other farms,
from his father in 1684: and in the follow-
ing year the Earl of Dundonald resigned
to him the possessions which he had acquired
from his grandfather. In 1687, the laird of
Dunlop, by an adjudication in his favour, re-
covered all his grandfather's estates, though
heavily burdened by expenses and fines. He
does not appear ever to have been married,
and dying in 1706, was s. by his brother,
FRANCIS DUNLOP, esq. of that Ilk. This
gentleman was one of those who were ap-
pointed March 26, 1707, to see the regalia
of Scotland, built up in the crown-room in
the castle of Edinburgh, as appears from the
minute of proceedings, taken at the time,
and left amongst his papers. In 1715, he
took an active part against the Chevalier,
and was lieutenant-colonel, under the Earl
of Kilmarnock, of a regiment of Fencible
cavalry then raised. Colonel Dunlop es-
poused first, in 1709, Susan, only daughter
and heiress of John Leckie, esq. of New-

daughter, viz.

time, subsequently, he was sent to the West
Indies, and dying unmarried, in 1804, a bri-

the island of Antigua, he was s. by his

sion of arms, served likewise in the Ame-

as captain of the 77th regiment, where he
remained thirteen years, and commanded
one of the assaulting columns at the storming
of Seringapatam, when he was severely
wounded. He returned soon after to Eng-

he was appointed to the command of a bri-

Lineage.
The family of VANS or VAUS claims to be
a branch of the great house of VAUX, SO
celebrated in every part of Europe. (See
Burke's Extinct and Dormant Peerage.) In
page 133 of Sir David Lindsay's Heraldry
certified by the privy council, VAUS is men-
tioned as one of the surnames of thume
that come furth of Ingland with Sanct Mar-
garet ;" and in page 17 of the selection of
the Harleian Miscellany by Kearsley, print-
ed in 1793, it is said, "Out of these con-
fusions in England, Malcolm King of Scot-
land did take his opportunity for action. He
received into protection many from Eng-
land, who either from fear or discontent-
ment forsook their country, of whom many
families in Scotland are descended, and
namely, these, Lindesay, VAUS, Ramsay,
&c. &c." Lord Hailes, Rapin, Hume, and
other authorities, notice the reception of the
Anglo-Normans by Malcolm.
NISBET (Ar. Vans of Barnbarroch) says,
"The learned antiquary and historian, Sir
James Dalrymple, observes that the ancient
surname VANS, in Latin Charters called De
Vallibus, is the same with the name of
VAUX in England, and is one of the first
surnames which appear there after the Con-
quest. One of the family came to Scotland
in the time of King David I. and in the reign
of his grandson and successor Malcolm
IV. mention is made of Philip de Vallibus
who had possessions in the South, and
soon after that we find the family of Vallibus
or Vans, proprietors of the lands and
Barony of Dirletoun in East Lothian."
JOHN DE VALLIBUS is a witness to two
charters of King MALCOLM IV. the one No.
31 in the Coldingham Chartulary, and the
other among the Lundin Charters.
In 1174,
JOHN DE VALLI BUS was one of the hos-
tages to the English, for the ransom of the
Scots' King, William. He was s.
He was s. by his
nephew or cousin,
JOHN DE VALLIBUS, designed son of Robert
of Ellebottl. The son and heir of this John,
JOHN DE VALLIBUS, is called John the
younger, Dominus de Dirleton, when grant-
ing five marks yearly out of his Fair of St.
James's in Roxburgshire, as a composition
regarding his disputed patronage of Wilton.
This John in 1244, is mentioned as one of
the Magnates of Scotland, in the Pope's ra-
tification of the peace between England and
Scotland. In 1255 he was one of the Barons
who counselled, or rather forced, King
ALEXANDER III. to change his ministers. His
grandson,
JOHN DE VAUX, appears to have been the
second husband of Dervorgill,* (the dau.
of Allan, Lord of Galloway, by Margaret,
eldest daughter of David, Earl of Hunt-
ingdon, third son of King DAVID I. of
Scotland,) the widow of Sir John Baliol,
and mother of JOHN BALIOL, who claimed
and obtained the Crown of Scotland. He
sate in the parliament of Brigham, in 1290,
and the next year swore fealty at Berwick
to EDWARD I. In 1298 he defended the
Castle of Dirleton against the famous An-
thony Beke, Bishop of Durham. In 1304
he was a principal party to the agreement
between EDWARD of England, and John
Comyn, and according to Ryley's Placeta,
John Comyn, Edmund Comyn, John de
Graham, and John de Vaux, sealed this
agreement at Strathord, the 9th February,
33 EDWARD I. The sincerity of this sub-
mission seems to have been more than doubt-
ful, for in 1306, mention is made of him as
a friend of ROBERT BRUCE. To this John
succeeded
THOMAS DE VAUX, who is mentioned by
Guthrie, and Brady as being one of the sixty-
five Earls and Lords who led the Scotch
army at the battle of Halidon Hill, 19th
July, 1333. He was slain in 1346 at Nevil's
Cross, where also his successor,
WILLIAM VAUX, was taken prisoner. After
being detained for some time in England, in
captivity, he returned to Scotland, and his
name appears in many of the transactions of
that period, especially as a party to the
ransom of King DAVID II. He died in
1364, and was s. by his eldest surviving son,
WILLIAM VAUX, who d. in 1392, and was
succeeded by two co-heiresses; but whether
they were his own_daughters or those of
his elder brother, Thomas, who had been
killed at the siege of Berwick, in 1355, is
uncertain. The elder wedded Sir John
Halyburton,† and the second, Sir Patrick
Hepburn, younger, of Hailes, ancestor to

Baliol of the wood of Gleddiswood, "qui quon-

VANS-AGNEW, OF BARNBARROCH.
the well known Earl of Bothwell, husband
to Queen Mary.
In his account of the Dirleton family,
Chalmers, (Caledonia, vol. ii. p. 436.) omits
several generations, and in vol. iii. page
396, talking of Wigtonshire, he makes a
curious mistake, for he considers the Barn-
barroch, and the Sheuchan families as dis-
tinct, whereas they are the same. On the
same page however he justly observes, "the
name has been changed from Vaus to
Vans, a change peculiar to this shire," and
although he does not dispute the Barnbar-
roch branch being descended from a younger
son of the Dirleton family, he thinks Alex.
Vaux, Bishop of Galloway in 1426, was
the first of his name in Wigtonshire.
"(
Nisbet, vol. ii. App. p. 250, says positively,
that the Barnbarroch branch are the only
remaining heirs male of the Dirleton family,
that they descend from a younger son, and
although they have no charter older than
1451, yet
that the Vanses of this house |
have subsisted long before that," Nisbet also
says, that, now since they represent the
principal family, by the rules and maxims,
that are laid down in Herauldry, they may
strike out the mollet, the brotherly differ-
ence, and wear and carry the Bend Simple,
as they have done for some centuries.
Tradition says the same, and that the first
Vaux in Wigtonshire married an heiress
there; it is said a de Morville.
"
In "l'Histoire des Malheures de la France
sous le Roi Jean," publié à Paris chez
Barde, 1611, vol. ii. p. 103, it is stated, talk-
ing of the battle of Poictiers, (A.D. 1356.)
and of the Scots of note who fell there, "et

Hollingshed, Abercrombie, and others, men-
tion SIR ANDREW VAUX to have been killed
at the battle of Poictiers; and this Andrew
is believed to have been the younger brother
of Willielmus of Dirleton, to have settled
in Galloway, and to have been succeeded
by another Sir Andrew whose name ap-
pears in the settlement of the Scot's Crown,
made at Scone, 4th April, 1373, although in
Robertson's records the name is erroneously
given, Andreas de Valonius. His younger
son was Alexander, Bishop of Galloway from
1426 to 1451, and he was s. by his eldest,
JOHN VANS, who was sent, in 1437, toge-
ther with Alexander Donus de Gordon,
Alexander Donus de Montgomery, and Jo-
hannis Methven, clericus, as ambassadors
from JAMES II. of Scotland, to HENRY VI.
of England; and along with these persons
concluded a truce the following year. He
espoused E. Kennedy, and had issue,

which was ratified by the crown, 13th Au-
gust of the same year. This gentleman
wedded the Lady Euphemia Graham, of the

The very ancient family of SAMWELL was
originally of Cornwall, and seated at Res-
tormel Castle, and other residences within
that county.

this Cornish house, was grandfather of

Ashwell, in Herts, Lord Almoner, to Queen
ELIZABETH, and had (with a daughter Mar-
garet, m. to Robert Pargeter, esq. of Gret-
worth) a son and heir,
SIR WILLIAM SAMWELL, auditor to Queen
ELIZABETH, who received the honor of
knighthood at the coronation of King JAMES
I. He wedded Jane, daughter of Sir Henry

* This gentleman, one of the most eminent po-
his education at Trinity College, Oxford, under
the care of the celebrated Chillingworth. Upon
first entering into political life, though a zealous
republican in principle, he formed a strong perso-
nal attachment to King CHARLES I. and after ser-
ving for years, with the most constant fidelity,
attended, at length, his ill-fated monarch to the
scaffold, where he received, it is reported, a token
of his Majesty's affection. Retiring into private
life, during the protectorate, he devoted his leisure
to the production of his celebrated work, "The
Commonwealth of Oceana," which, by the order
of CROMWELL was seized in the press, but restored
again through the medium of Mrs. Claypole, the
Usurper's favorite child, at whose suggestion it
was dedicated to her father, on its publication in

1656. It is said, that when OLIVER perused it,
he declared that "the gentleman had wrote it very
well, but must not think to cheat him out of his
power and authority for that which he had won
by the sword, he would not suffer himself to be
scribbled out of."
The OCEANA is a species of political allegory,
exhibiting in a fictitious land, the form of govern-
ment most conducive, in its author's opinion, to
public liberty.
In order still further to propagate his theories,
he instituted a nightly meeting of several able and
ingenious men, in the New Palace Yard, West-
minster, which bore the name of "THE ROTA."-
This assemby terminated at the Restoration. The
discussions were warm and spirited, and the voices
of the members were taken by BALLOT, a mode
of voting first invented by the society. Shortly
after the Restoration, Harrington was arrested for
a supposed plot against the government, and suf-
fered, in consequence, much hardship and seve-
rity. He eventually, however, procured his re-
lease, and espoused Katherine, daughter of Sir
Marmaduke Darrell. He d. in 1677. Beside the
"Oceana," he was the author of many political
pamphlets.

*To be captain of this celebrated band, was in

"This band of Gentlemen Pensioners" (says Miss
Aikin, in her Memoirs of the Court of Queen
Elizabeth, vol. i. p. 275, of the second edition),
"the boast and ornament of the court of Queen
Elizabeth, was probably the most splendid esta-
blishment of the kind in Europe; it was entirely
composed of the nobility and gentry, and to be ad-
mitted to serve in its ranks was, during the whole
of the reign, regarded as a distinction worthy the
ambition of young men of the highest families and
most brilliant prospects. Sir John Holles, after-
wards Earl of Clare, was accustomed to say, that
while he was a pensioner of Queen Elizabeth, he
did not know a worse man than himself in the
whole band, yet he was then in possession of an in-
heritance of £4000." "It was the custom of that
Queen," pursues the Earl's biographer, "to cull
out of all counties of the kingdom, the gentle-
men of the greatest hopes and best fortunes and
families, and with them to fill the more honorable
rooms of her household servants, by which she
honored them, obliged their kindred and alliance,
and fortified herself."

Lineage.
|
BERT II. the first of the STUART KINGS;
but of this there is no evidence and it ap-
pears as likely that he sprang directly from
the original stock of Polkelly, and may be
the same Reginald who, together with a
Gilchrist More, signs the Ragman Roll ir
1296, and whom Nisbet takes to be the old
Polkelly Mores, "the root of the Mores, an
antienter family than the Rowallans."
The MURES of Caldwell are immediately
descended from SIR REGINALD MORE or
MURE, of Abercorn and Cowdams, who ap-
pears to have been chamberlain of Scot-
land as early as 1329, the first year of the
reign of David II. The name occurs,
written at various periods, More, Mure,
Muir, Moor, &c.; and from the correspond-
ence of the armorial bearings, seems to be
the same originally as that of the MOORES
of Moore Place, in Kent, now represented
by the Irish Moores, Marquises of Drog-
heda. The arms of "Muir of Caldwell,'
and "Muir of Rouallan," being then the
two chief houses of the name in Scotland,
are exhibited on page 46 of the Scottish
Heraldry, emblazoned by Sir David Lind-
say, LORD LYON, about the year 1540.
Those of Caldwell present the plain shield
of the Mores, "three mullets on a bend
while on the shield of Rowallan are quar-wards ROBERT II., dated 1367, confirming
tered the wheat-sheaves of the Comyns.
""
The most ancient of the name on record
are the Mores of Polkelly, near Kilmarnock,
in Ayrshire; one of whom, David de More,
appears as witness to a charter of Alexander
II. The direct male line of Polkelly becom-
ing extinct, the estate passed, by marriage of
the heir female, to the Mores of Rowallan,
cadets of the family, who had acquired the
neighbouring estate of Rowallan, from the
COM YNS, its ancient lords. Crawford, the
Scottish genealogist, supposes Sir Reginald
the chamberlain to have been a brother of
Sir Adam More, of Rowallan, whose daugh-
´ter, Elizabeth, was QUEEN Consort of Ro- |
The paternal inheritance of Sir Reginald
seems to have been Cowdams, in Ayr-
shire, not far from the original seat of the
family. These lands belonged to him pre-
viously to 1328, as shewn by an agreement
concerning them between him and the
monks of Paisley, dated in that year. They
have ever since continued in the family,
Mr. Mure, of Caldwell, being still their
feudal superior. They are next noticed in
a charter of the Earl of Strathern, after-
the previous deed of 1328. Johannes Mure,
jun. de Cowdams, appears in 1446 as one of
the commissioners for fixing the boundaries
of the Burgh of Prestwick, and the papers
relative thereto, now preserved at Caldwell,
extend as far back as 1475.
Sir Reginald acquired his extensive es-
tates of Abercorn, &c. in the Lothians and
Stirlingshire, by marriage with one of the
co-heiresses of Sir John Graham, of Esk-
dale and Abercorn; another of whom wed-
ded Walter Steward, of Scotland; and a
third, Sir William Douglas, "the Knight
of Liddesdale." He obtained also, by
grant from the crown, on the forfeiture of

stored for a pecuniary consideration, by his
son, Sir William More, to Sir William Mur-
ray, ancestor of the present Duke of Athol,
as appears from an indenture dated 1341.
Sir Reginald adhered steadily to the pa-
triotic cause during the English wars in
DAVID the Second's reign, and was one of
the commissioners appointed, in 1340, to
treat 'th the Lords Percy, Moubray, and
Nevil, on a truce between the two nations.
He died soon after, leaving two sons and a
daughter, viz.
These were afterwards re-

He was one of the twelve
nobles, who, in the parliament of

Herch (or Herries); and secondly,
to her cousin, Sir John Steward, of
Ralston, son of Walter Steward of
Scotland, by Isabel Graham. For
this marriage there exists two dis-
pensations from Benedict XII. dated
Avignon, the one, 13th July, 1340;
the other, 10th May, 1341.
JOHN MORE, the first who is designated of
"Caldwell," as appears from a letter of re-
mission, granted Oct. 29, 1409, by the Re-
gent Duke of Albany, to him, Archibald
More, of Polkelly, (supposed his younger
brother) and Robert Boyd, of Kilmarnock,
for the slaughter of Mark Neilson, of Dal-
rymple. He was s. by
JOHN MORE, Lord of Caldwell, who is
witness along with George Campbell, Lord
of Loudoun, Robert More, of Rowallan, and
others, to a charter, dated January 19, 1430.
The circumstance of his name taking prece-
dence in the subscription, he being also
styled Lord of Caldwell, while the other is
simply, Robert More, of Rowallan, is ad
duced by Crawford and others as evidence
that the Mores, of Caldwell were now con-

JOHN MORE, whose charter under the
great seal, bears date, 1476. By Elizabeth,
his wife, he left a son and a daughter, namely,
ADAM (Sir), his heir.

SIR ADAM MORE, of Caldwell, knighted
by JAMES IV. and designated in the crown

Sir Reginald's elder son dying without male well, miles." He was," says Crawford," a
issue, the younger,
GILCHRIST MORE, became the male re-
presentative of the house of Abercorn. To
him descended the property of Cowdams.
The estates of Caldwell, in the shires of Ayr
and Renfrew, he is supposed to have ac-
quired by marriage with the heiress of Cald-
well of that ilk, then a family of some note,
having given a chancellor to Scotland in
1349. Crawford is of opinion that at this
time the estates of Rowallan and Polkelly
also came to the Abercorn line by a second
marriage of Gilchrist with the heir-female
of Rowallan, these, he adds, were afterwards
settled on the younger children, issue of
this marriage, whence the subsequent Mures,
of Rowallan and Polkelly, two distinct fa-
milies. Rowallan passed, about a century
ago, by an heir-female, to the Campbells of
Loudoun, now represented by the Mar-
chioness Dowager of Hastings, Countess of
Loudoun, in her own right. The male line
of Polkelly is also extinct. To Caldwell
and Cowdams succeeded
gallant stout man, having diverse feuds with
his neighbours, which were managed with
great fierceness, and much bloodshed.".
He wedded Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Tho-
mas Sempill, of Eliestoun, and sister to
John, first Lord Sempill, by whom he had
four sons and two daughters, viz.
CONSTANTINE, who predeceased his
father, s. p.

Renfrew, in 1499, by John Maxwell,

him under the privy seal, on the 24th
of January, 1500, for the slaughter of
Patrick Boure, and Ralstoun, of that
Ilk.

MURE, OF CALDWELL.
From a deed, by Matthew, Earl of Lennox
and Darnly, dated January 2, 1500, in fa-
vour of Constantine, Mure, as from other
documents, it is evident that the estate of
Glanderstoun, in Renfrewshire, was ac-
quired about this time from the Lennoxes.

is presumed, that he fell at the battle of
Flodden, fought in that year. He was s. by

JOHN MURE, of Caldwell, who, on the
20th of February, 1515, at the head of his

The Laird of Caldwell, together with his
kinsmen and dependants, took part with the
Earl of Glencairn, at the "Field of the
Muir of Glasgow ;" a bloody action fought
between the partizans of the Earls of Len-
nox and Glencairn, headed by the latter
chieftain, against the Earl of Arran, Re-
gent of Scotland, in 1543. This appears
from a remission under the privy seal,
granted in 1553, to John Mure, of Cald-

"in Hill, of Beith," and James Mure, of
Boldair, for their participation in that affair.

of Mure, of Thornton, the male line of
which becoming extinct in 1701, in the
person of Sir Archibald Mure, Lord Pro-
vost, of Edinburgh, the estate passed by his
heir female to John Cunninghame, of Caddel,
and is now held by Colonel Cunninghame, of
Thornton, the superiority being still with
Caldwell. In the year 1611, occurred the trial
of the ferocious LAIRD OF AUCHENDRAIN,
chief of an ancient branch of the Mures, in
Carrick, whose crimes have been immorta-
lized by the pen of Sir Walter Scott. He was,
according to the fashion of the time, sup-
ported in his adversity by those of the
name, throughout the west of Scotland; and
when summoned to Edinburgh by the coun-
cil, was escorted by the Lairds of Rowallan,
Caldwell, Glanderstoun, and other gentle-
men of rank connected with them. They
abandoned him afterwards, however, when
upon a fuller investigation, the infamy of
his character was displayed in its true
colours. The Laird of Caldwell when cited
for having knowingly harboured and con-
cealed an accomplice, or an important wit-
ness for the prosecutor pleaded that he
could not be expected to do otherwise, in

Robert Mure, it seems, fell in battle about
1640 for in August, 1641, the marriage of
the Laird of Caldwell," whose father died
in his country's service," is ordered by the
parliament to be passed gratis. Hence it
would appear that he was one of the few
Scotchmen who perished in the only military
transaction of that period, the first revolu
tionary campaign against CHARLES I. which
ended in the rout of the English army at
Newburn. He was s. by his eldest son,
ROBERT MURE, of Caldwell, who d. in
1644, and was s. by his younger brother,

head. This laird, and a few other west
country gentlemen, favourable to the cause
of civil and religious liberty, met in arms
at Chitterfleet, near Caldwell, on the 28th
November, 1666; whence a troop of horse,
consisting chiefly of the tenantry of that
and the neighbouring properties, set out,
under his command, to join the covenanters,
who had recently risen in Dumfriesshire,
and marched upon Edinburgh. But find-
ing themselves intercepted by the king's
troops, and hearing, by the way, of the
defeat of the whig army at Pentland, they |
dispersed. Caldwell was attainted, fled to
Holland, and died in exile. His estates,
on forfeiture, were granted to the celebrated
general Dalzell. His lady was imprisoned
with two of her daughters, in Blackness
Castle, and underwent much cruel persecu-
tion, described by Wodrow, the historian of
the period. Of Caldwell's three daughters,
Jane, the eldest, wedded Colonel John Ers-
kine, of Carnock, but left no issue. Anne,
the youngest, died during the prosecution
of the family, while
BARBARA MURE, the second daughter,
lived to obtain by special act of parliament,
(on the 19th July, 1690) a full restitution
of her patrimonial estates. She m. John

failure of the elder branch, heir male of line
to Caldwell, and heir direct in right of his
mother, Euphemia, sister of the last unfor-
tunate laird. He m. Margaret, daughter of

Hutchinson are now settled in the county of

elected member of parliament for Renfrew-
shire, in 1742, and he continued to repre-
sent the county until 1761, when he was
made one of the barons of the Exchequer.
He exercised considerable influence in the
management of public affairs in Scotland at
this period, as appears from a series of
confidential letters, addressed to him by
members of the BUTE, and other succeed-
ing administrations, some of which throw
light on the political intrigues of the day.-

eminent literary characters of his time,

Estates-The family possessions are now
concentrated round the place of Caldwell,
by the sale of several detached properties,
Glanderstoun, Capelrig, &c. and the purchase
by Baron Mure of other lands contiguous.
They are situated, partly in Ayrshire, partly
in Renfrewshire, and in the parishes of Beith,
Dunlop, and Neilston, and comprise a sur-
face of about 5000 imperial acres, of which
about 500 are covered with wood, chiefly
well-grown timber; the remainder, with tri-
fling exceptions, arable land of good qua-
lity, well enclosed and cultivated. The
husbandry chiefly confined to dairy produce.
A valuable coal is worked on the banks of
a small lake, called Lochlibo; and the pro-
perty abounds with good lime and free-
stone. The superiorities of Cowdams,
Thornton, Kittochside, and some other old
possessions, still remain with the family.-
The old castle of Caldwell, situated on a
rocky eminence, in the county of Renfrew,
went to decay on the forfeiture in 1666, and
is described as a ruin by topographers in
1690. Nothing now remains but one square
tower. The present mansion house was
built by Baron Mure, in the middle of last
century, after a plan of the architect, Adam,
and is large and commodious. It is situ-
ated a mile to the west of the old residence,
in the parish of Beith and county of Ayr,
and is distant 14 miles from Glasgow, 9
from Paisley, and 12 from Kilmarnock.

The mansion house at Coham having been
destroyed by fire in the reign of Queen ANNE,
and the family records lost in the conflagra-
tion, we have now traditional authority alone
for the early abode of the Cohams on their
patrimonial estate, but that establishes the
fact beyond doubt, and proves their resi-
dence there since the CONQUEST. In the
registers of the parish which commenced in
1520, we find the name of

the heiress of BATHE, of Weare, and thus ac-
quired that estate; where this branch of the Hol-
land family have ever since resided. This John
de Holland having made an avowry in certain
lands, it was pleaded against him that the lands,
then in question, were seized unto the king's
hands, because that Robert de Holand, father of
the said John, did aid and assist Thomas, Earl of
Lancaster, against King EDWARD II. (lib. 3rd of
Edward III. folio 10th.) He was s. by his son,

BYRNE, OF CABINTEELY.
BYRNE, CLARINDA-MARY, of Cabinteely, in the county of Dublin. Miss
Byrne inherited the estates at the decease of her sister in 1810.
Lineage.
From the earliest era of Irish History, to
the invasion of CROMWELL, the family of
O'Broin, O' Byrne or O' Birne, was amongst
the most powerful and distinguished in the
province of Leinster. It traces its descent
from Hermon, the youngest son of Milesius,
through Ugane More and Cathire More,
two of the most renowned warriors that
swayed the Irish sceptre.
The O'Byrnes derive their name from
BROIN or BRAN, one of the Kings of Lein-
ster, who defeated the Momonians in a pitched
battle, and redeemed Leinster from a tax,
called Borne or Boiromhe. Many other
progenitors of the O' Byrnes, being likewise
Kings of Leinster, distinguished themselves
in the wars concerning this tax and against the
common enemy, the Dane. Of the English,
the O'Byrnes were at once the most con-
stant and formidable enemies. Located upon
their mountain heights in the wild and sin-
gularly beautiful country, which owned their
sway, they could watch their opportunity,
and at the favourable moment pounce down
upon their victims, like the eagle on his
prey. Thus on Easter Monday, in the year
1209, they fell upon an immense crowd of
Dublin citizens who were celebrating a rural |
fete, at a place called Cullens Wood, and with
the aid of the O'Tooles, another potent tribe
seated in their immediate neighbourhood, left
three hundred dead upon the spot. Hence-
forward over a space of several centuries
we find the O'Byrnes never relaxing in their
resistance and hostility to the English
settlers. In 1395 Roger Mortimer, Earl of
March, then Lord Deputy of Ireland, laid
O'Byrne's country waste, and stormed his
Castle of Wicklow. In 1414 John Talbot,
Lord Furnival, marched an army through
the territories of the O'Byrnes, and numer-
ous and frequent were the forces which sub-
sequent Viceroys found it necessary to
oppose to these bold and restless chieftains.
When the civil contentions in Ireland for
the first time assumed a religious character,
the House of O' Byrne acted a most promi-
nent part, and in the confederacy which was
formed in defence of the ancient faith, the
leaders were the Earl of Desmond, Fiach
Mac Hugh O'Byrne, chief of that family,
James Eustace, Viscount Baltinglass, and
one of the Fitzgeralds. The contending
armies met in the defiles of Glendalough,
where, after a fierce and bloody engagement,
the English were routed in all points; their
infantry, to the amount of 800 men cut to
pieces, and the Lord Deputy, Arthur Grey,
Lord Wilton, with the greater portion of the
cavalry driven from the field of battle. The
leaguers, however, do not seem to have
derived any considerable advantage from
their victory: perhaps from the constitution
of their army it was not in their power.
The Irish, like the Scottish Highlanders,
followed their chiefs cheerfully to battle,
but the blow being struck, the pressing
danger or exciting cause, which had led
them forth, having passed away, it was im-
possible to keep them in the field: they
never could be induced to perform the duties
of a regular campaign. This it was, which
rendered futile all the victories of the DES-
MONDS, O'Neills, and O'Byrnes.
In 1588, when O'Neill, earl of Tyrone,
raised his standard, he was joined by the
principal catholic chiefs, and amongst the
rest, by the head of the O'Byrnes, which
daring sept, in the long and sanguinary
contests that ensued, bore a most conspicu-
ous part.
On the accession of JAMES to the throne,
in 1603, all Ireland, for the first time, sub-
mitted to the English rule.
The great

northern chiefs, in common with the rest of
the ancient Irish nobility, did homage;
many passing over to England to render
the service in person. They were well
received, but within a brief period, trea-
chery accomplished against them, that which
force could never effect. Hugh O'Neill,
O'Donnell, and many others were compelled
to leave Ireland, as banished men; and
their broad and fertile lands were conferred
upon mercantile companies and ignoble
mechanics. The O'Byrnes, amongst the
rest, suffered severely. All that remained
to them was afterwards seized upon by
Cromwell, during his devastating progress
through their country in 1646, and the his-
tory of the O'Byrnes, as chiefs of numerous
and powerful tribes, is no longer interwoven
with the annals of their country.
CHARLES O'BYRNE, representative of the
great house of O'Byrne, who was deprived
by CROMWELL of his extensive domains,
espoused Grizel, daughter of Byrne, of
Ballincurbeg, and had three sons and a
daughter, viz.

his family in the county of Wicklow,

where he resided until his death.

from HARDINGE, a younger son of one of the
kings of Denmark, who came over to Eng-son,

at the battle of Hastings. His son,

fidelity to King Henry II. the CASTLE OF
BERKELEY, wrested from Roger de Berke-

thereby became one of the feudal barons of
the realm. He married Eva, niece of Wil-

nastery of St. Augustine, at Bristol, in the
year 1140, and was buried there in 1170.

of the judges of the Court of King's Bench.
"As Sir Robert Berkeley," says Granger
lived in an age when the genius of the
government had a strong tendency to despo-
tism, when the prerogative had been exerted
upon almost every emergency, and when the
judges held their places during the pleasure
of the king, he, with eleven of his brethren,
gave his opinion for ship-money; and, if we
may judge from the tenor of his conduct in
private life as well as on the bench, from
honest motives. For this decision he was im-
peached of high treason, and adjudged to
pay a fine of £20,000, to be deprived of his
office of judge, and rendered incapable of
holding any place, or receiving any honor
in the state or commonwealth: he was more-
over to be imprisoned in the Tower during
the pleasure of the House of Lords." Sir
Robert was afterwards plundered by the
parliament forces; and a little before the
battle of Worcester, the Scotch Presbyteri-
ans, though engaged in the king's service,
retaining their ancient animosity, burnt his
house at Spetchley. He was thus forced to
convert the stables into a dwelling, and
there he resided with dignity on the wreck
of his fortune.* A splendid monument to
* The following account of Rowland Berkeley
and his son the judge, is transcribed from the
MS. of the elder Habingdon.
"I rank this reverend judge next unto Lords,
because as a judge he weareth often that title,
and in parliament is to assist in the house of ba-
rons, from one of the antientest of which barons,
(viz. the Lord Berkeley) he is descended; for
James Lord Berkeley had by the Lady Isabell, one
of the two co-heirs of Thomas Mowbray, duke of
Norfolk, Thomas Berkeley his fourth son, who
had issue Richard Berkeley, his third son (who
sometime lived, and had a small freehold at Durs-
ley, in Gloucestershire) whose fourth son, Wm.
Berkeley, was father of Rowland Berkeley, father
of the judge, which said Rowland being the eighth
son of the said William, though extracted thus
from nobility, yet seemed in the world extenuated
for a while, until by God's blessing, and his own
industry, he became eminent in wealth and dig-
nity. My warrant for this pedigree I receive from
the best authority which England in matters of
honor affordeth.
:
"Now before I attende the judge to his rising
sunne, I will accompanie his father to his night of
death whomme if I should commend because he
was my ancient friend, and left me not (where the
worlde forsooke me) in my stormy troubles, and
lastly, not only refused to make a prey of my lands,
being offered him, and lying most convenient for
him, but alsoe instantly warned me to prevent my
ruine, it might be thought that, blinded with af-
fection, I were partial. Passing, therefore, from
my private particulars, to matters more public;
he was a man of very good witt, which he fur-
nished with learning, initiate in Oxford, but
chiefly gained out of stolen hours, and hardly
spared from his continual business in his vocation,
BERKELEY, OF SPETCHLEY.
his memory still remains in Spetchley
church, adorned with shields of the noble
families from which he was descended. He
wedded Elizabeth, daughter and co-heir of
Thomas Conyers, esq. of East Barnet, of
the family of Conyers, of Sokeborne, in the
county of Durham, by whom he left at his
decease, in 1656, an only son and successor,
THOMAS BERKELEY, esq. of Spetchley,
who wedded Anne, daughter of William
Darell, esq. of Scotney, in Sussex (des-
cended from a niece of Archbishop Chiche-
by which course, joined with experience, and ob-
servations, growing to be of deep judgement, he
attained to be for government such a magistrate,
as that he gained love, respect, and obedience,
which, if the city of Worcester, where he lived
divers years, will not acknowledge, his often ser-
vice for them in parliament (where he shewed
himself their friend, and a good commonwealth's
man) will testifye for him. Neither was he con-
fined within the circle of this cittie, but being in
commission for the county, was an uncorrupt and
sedulous justice. I omit his worldly blessings
being abundant, and fairly ceasing by his death,
in a good old age, at his owne mansion at Spetch-
ley, where his sonne, the judge, hath erected a mo-
nument for him, and his mother, to whose funeral
having offered these ensignes, I will distribute
them to his children, and chiefly to the judge, who
though not the eldest yet the greatest, and inhe-
riting, with the rest, his father's wisdom, hath
surmounted him in learning, which hath beauti-
fied with oratory, and strengthened with argu-
ments his possession of the law, whereto, as also
to civill government his genius was so inclinable
as that after he had been many years a chieff pilott in
one of
stearing the helm of our countie, as
justices of the peace there, and which is rarely
precedented among others of his profession, car-
ried the staff of authority as sheriff. His majesty,
King Charles, advanced him first to his service in
place of one of the king's serjeants-at-law; and
then as a justice of his royal bench, to determine
of the lives, lands, and goods of his subjects.-
Thus is he raised from a ship of our shire to be a
ruler in the great argosey of England, where al-
though his case is general, yet hath he still a par-
ticular love to his-native county. Now here you
see him ascending to the noon-tide of fortune;
let my withered age never behold his declining,
but when his sunne must by revolution of time, be
set, I hope that leaving behind him an oder of
good fame, he will in the end obtain a day of eter-
nal light."

member of parliament for Shaftesbury, in 1812, and for Newtown, Hants, in 1816,
and in six successive parliaments.
Lineage.

The name of GURNEY or GOURNAY is de-
rived from the town of Gournay in Nor-
mandy. HUGH DE GOURNAY, Lord of
Gournay and the adjacent territory of Le
Brai, was one of the Norman Barons who
commanded at the Battle of Mortimer
against the French in 1054. He came over
to England with DUKE WILLIAM, and was
present at the Battle of Hastings. HUGH,
his son, held manors in Essex at the survey,
and GERARD DE GOURNAY, son of the latter,
married Editha, daughter of William de
Warren, first Earl of Warren, by GUN-
DRED,* daughter of the CONQUEROR, and
possessed great estates in Norfolk. These
Norman Barons of Gournay deduced their
ineage from EUDES, a follower of Rollo,
to whom that chieftain assigned the fortress
of Gournay, when he divided Neustria
among his dependants; they continued to
-

retain these Norman fiefs until the reign
of JOHN, when they were seized upon by
PHILIP-AUGUSTUS; and another Hugh de
Gournay then in possession, retired into
England, and died in 1223, leaving a son,
HUGH, whose only daughter, JULIA DE
GOURNAY, espoused William, Lord Bar-
dolph, of Wirmegay, in Norfolk; and thus
the elder male line of the Norman Gournays
became extinct.†
Two younger branches of the family
continued, however, to exist after this pe-
riod. The one which was the most distin-
guished was seated at Barew-Gurney and
Inglishcombe, in Somersetshire, as early as
the survey, and retaining the name of
Gournay, through two female descents,
added to their territory the estates of the
Harpetrees and other considerable families,
and became powerful feudal barons in the
West of England. The most generally
known of this family of the Gournays were
Sir Thomas de Gournay, one of the mur-
derers of EDWARD II. and his son, Sir Mat-
thew de Gournay, frequently mentioned by
Froissart, who died in 1406, at the advanced
age of ninety-six, after having assisted at
all the great battles of EDWARD III. and
the Black Prince. This gallant veteran
appears to have been the last male of the
Somersetshire Gurneys.‡
The other younger branch of the Norman
Gourneys held certain manors in Norfolk,
as mesne lords under the Barons of Gour-
of pure sable; but paly of six or and azure has

and Hingham, whose son,
MATTHEW DE GOURNAY, obtained from
Hameline Plantagenet, Earl of Warren,
that noblernan's kinswoman, Rose de Burn-
ham or de Warren, in marriage, and with
her the manor of Harpley came to the
Norfolk Gurneys. The grandson of this
marriage,
SIR JOHN DE GURNEY, was in arms
against HENRY III. at the Battles of Lewes
and Evesham, but having received a pardon,
attended Prince EDWARD (EDWARD I.) in
1270 to the Holy Land. This Sir John de

line, and the estates devolved to co-heir-
esses. From a younger branch of the West
Barsham line descended

merchant, b. in 1655, who embraced the
tenets of the Quakers. This gentleman
died in 1721, leaving, with two younger sons,

Lineage.
By reference to the records in the office |
of the Ulster king at arms, it is established
that the Milesian house of CONROY, which
was formerly written Mulconry, O'Mul-
conry, and O'Mulconaire, is of great an-
tiquity, and assumes its descent from Niullus
Magnus, monarch of Ireland. It enjoyed for
many successive generations the hereditary
office of seanchie, or herald to the kings of
Connaught.
The early part of the pedigree is to be
found in the registry entitled "Funeral
Entries," one of the books of record in the
Irish college of arms, for 1637, when the
funeral and lineage of Moylin O'Mulconry,
esq. was duly established and registered as
the forty-third in lineal descent of this
ancient family, and received as such, the
warranty, dated 6th July, 1638, of Thomas
From
Preston, then Ulster king at arms.

altering their surnames, THORNA O'MUL-
CONRY, esq. JOHN CONRY, or MULCONRY,
esq. and CHARLES CONRY, esq. who had a
regrant from CHARLES II. dated 10th August,
1678, of various lands in the county of
Roscommon, being the residue of the
property spared by the confiscations to
which the Irish families had been so re-
peatedly subject; and of these the Conroys
were deprived of a further portion in con-
sequence of their adhesion to the cause of
JAMES II. Charles Conry was succeeded by
his son,

The family of VASSALL derives from the
ancient house of "DE VASSALL, Barons de
Gourdon, in Querci, Perigord.*" In the
year 1588,

tracted from a French author :-
"La maison de Vassall, originaire de Quercy,
et dont plusieurs branches ont formé depuis long
temps des établissemens en Perigord, et dans
d'autres provinces, a toujours tenu un rang dis-

ancienneté, de nombreux services, de bonnes alli-
ances, et par dessus tout, une fidélité inviolable
et à toute épreuve envers ses Souverains.

La maison de Vassall a produit un nombre consi-

with Sir Thomas Soane, to give answer to
the persons who brought up the city petition,
and in 1648, he was appointed with the other
members of the house who were citizens, to
form a committee. This Samuel Vassall
had two twentieths of all the Massachusetts

SAMUEL VASSALL, likewise an alderman, Commissioners for the Kingdom of England,

during his patriotic resistance of the arbi-
trary import of tonnage and poundage, and
it was further resolved to consider him for
his imprisonment and personal sufferings.
He was one of the three hundred members
who signed the protestation to support the
church of England, and the liberty of Par-
liament, and was appointed a member of
the council during the recess. He sub-
scribed £1200. against the rebels in Ireland,
his name appearing at the head of the list.
In 1643, Alderman Vassall took the cove-

ment Major Général, Brigadier, l'un de huit in-
specteurs d'infanterie, ensuite Maréchal de camp,
et Lieutenant-Général.
M. le Chevalier de Vassall, de Montoiel, fut

fut tué au siège de Barcelonne.
M. de Vassall de Marsac fut Major au régiment

M. de Vassall de Taradel fut lieutenant de Roi

l'avoir avec un détachement de quatre-vingt
hommes forcé trois-cent Prussiens, avec un offi-

armes et à se rendre prisonniers de guerre. Dans
la guerre de 1735, quatre-vingt officiers du nom
de Vassall servoient tous à la fois dans tous les
grades, depuis celui de lieutenant général, jusqu'
à celui de simple cadet gentilhomme.
La maison de Vassall a toujours été, et elle est
encore une des plus nombreuses en individus, que
l'on connoisse; elle étoit déjà partagée du temps
de St. Louis en plusieurs branches dont les deux
principales étoient connue sous les noms de
"Fraissinet" et " "de Vaillac," c'est de la premi-
ère qu'étoit noble Bertrand de Vassall, seigneur
de Rinhac, chef de toutes les branches actuelle-
ment existantes; ces deux branches qu'on peut
appeller anciennes parcequ'elles précèdent l'année
1400, et auxquelles on peut ajouter celles de Yvars,
de Balaguié, et autres, établies en Quercy, en Al-
bigeois, en Rouisgue, &c. ont contracté des alli-
ances avec les maisons d'Angoulesme, d'Auriale,

Cette maison est une de celles que l'on connoit
avoir produit plus de branches, et on cite comme
un fait remarquable et peut-être unique en France,
qu'elle a formé en moins de quatre-cent ans-

à ce nombre les branches qui ont existé avant
quelques traces dans les anciens titres; la totalité

qu'on peut regarder comme une espèce de phéno-
mène généalogique.
Ces trente-sept branches ou rameaux tirent leur
origène de trois branches principales connues sous
les noms de Rinhac, de Nozac, et de la Tourette;
et c'est d'elles que dérivent toutes les autres; ces
trois branches ont été formées dans le XV siècle
de la manière suivante :
Bertrand de Vassall, damoiseau, fils de Bason
de Vassall et de Nina de Raffilhac, épousa vers
l'an 1360, demoiselle Resplandine de Rinhac, qui
lui porta la terre de son nom; il étoit déjà Seig-
neur, du chef de sa mère, de celles de Nozac, et
de la Tourette; il fit son testament le 2 Août,
1395, en faveur de son fils qui suit,
Jean de Vassall, seigneur de Rinhac, de Nozac,
de la Tourette, &c. épousa, en 1414, demoiselle
Jeanne de St. Gilly, dont il eut trois fils, Jean,
Pierre, et autre Jean, ce dernier mourut sans pos-
térité, laissant pour héritier Pierre son frère.
1º Jean de Vassall l'aîné épousa, en 1443, de-
moiselle Louise de Touchebœuf, dont il eut
Jacques, qui a continué la branche aînée connue
sous le nom de Rinhac.

riage provinrent deux fils, dont l'un nommé Jean

I disdain your pity, and am ready to share
the fate of my general." After experiencing
every kind of indignity, and having been
twice led out for execution, these brave
men were at length released, and allowed
to return to England. Shortly afterwards
Major Vassall purchased the lieutenant-
colonelcy of the 38th regiment, and was for
some years stationed in Ireland, where it
was his fortune to be the field officer, of the
day in Dublin, on the memorable 23rd July,
when Lord Kilwarden, and many others
were killed by the insurgent populace. His
cool determined conduct upon that occasion
obtained for him the high commendation of
4. Robert Oliver, who settled in Ja- the Irish Government, and of the com-
maica.

SPENCER THOMAS VASSALL, being designed
for a military life, obtained an ensigncy in
the 59th regiment of foot, at the early age
of twelve. He soon afterwards embarked
for Gibraltar, where he served during the
memorable siege, and from that period until
his gallant career closed on the ramparts
of Monte Video, he was uninterruptedly
engaged upon active service in almost every
part of the globe. He was twice with the
army in Flanders, once in the West Indies,
several times on the coast of France, and
once on that of Spain. He was the first man
that landed in the Isle Dieu, and planted
the British colours there. He formed part
of both expeditions to Holland; in the last
of which he was ordered by the Duke of
York to attend General Don to the enemy's
camp with a flag of truce. On that occasion,
when Brun, the French commander in chief,
in a fit of rage, pretending to suspect the
motives of the mission, declared to General
Don that he was determined to treat him
as a spy, he turned round to Major Vassall,
and said with a contemptuous smile, "Pour

resigned to embark with his regiment in
the second expedition dispatched to the
coast of Spanish America, and there he
found a soldier's grave in gallantly leading
his troops to the assault of Monte Video
His conduct, his courage, his fate are so
faithfully depicted in the following letter
from his orderly serjeant, to Sir Home Pop-
ham, that we know not how we could better
close this summary of his valiant achieve-
ments.
SIR,
Monte Video, 10 Feb. 1807.
Pardon the liberty I am taking, as the
gratitude I owe to my everlamented and
best friend, Colonel Vassall, obliges me to
give you and his friends an authentic ac-
count of his last; I being his orderly ser-
jeant, and the chief person to witness his
bravery, and the gallant manner in which
he acquitted himself in doing his duty, in
that unfortunate hour in which he fell. On
our approach to the wall we missed the
breach; the grape and musketry flew so
hot it drove the men into confusion, and
would have made numbers of them retreat
but for his exertions. When he observed
any of the men stoop or flinch, he cried out
as loud as possible, "Brave 38th, my brave
men, don't flinch; every bullet has its
billet. Push on, follow me, thirty eighth !"
He rallied them repeatedly in this manner,
until he got them inside the breach. He im-
mediately directed a party to take possession
of the corner battery next the sea, which
was done in a few minutes, and another,
under the command of Major Ross, to ad-
vance to the great church, and he was ad-
vancing himself to the main battery on the
right, when a grape shot broke his leg, and
as soon as he fell he cried out, "Push on,
502
VASSALL, OF MILFORD.
">
somebody will take me up, my good soldiers,
charge them, never mind me; it's only the
loss of a leg in the service." He sat up,
and helped to tie on a handkerchief to stop
the blood, and cried out all the time of the
action, "I care not for my leg, if my regi-
ment do their duty, and I hope they will.'
As soon as the town surrendered he heard
the men cheer, he joined them with as great
spirits as if nothing had happened, and
called to me to have him carried to the head
of his regiment. I feel to the heart for his
family. I could wish to have fallen with
him, sooner than part with a man who was
so good a friend to me. At half-past three
on the morning of the 3rd, he received his
wound; at one o'clock on the morning of
| the 7th, he departed, and at eight the same
evening he was interred at the entrance of
the great church, with all military honors.
I am, sir,
Your very humble obedient servant,
B. MATHEWS.
The remains of this gallant soldier were
at first interred in the grand church at Monte
Video, with military honors, but were after-
wards removed to England, and deposited
in the family vault in the church of St.
Paul's, Bristol, where a monument, de-
signed by Flaxman, executed by Rossi, and
erected by Colonel Vassall's widow, bears
the following inscription.
Sacred to the Memory of
SPENCER THOMAS VASSALL, esq.
Lieutenant-colonel of the 38th regiment, who,
After twenty-eight years of active and unremitting service,
During which he had acquired a high military reputation,
Was mortally wounded at the storming of Monte Video, in South America,
On the 3rd of February, 1807,
At the moment he had conducted his intrepid followers within the walls of the fortress,
And expired on the 7th of the same month,
Aged 40.
His beloved remains, brought to England by the companions of his victory,
are deposited near this spot,
Where, to record her own, her children's, and her country's loss,
She, who was the wedded and happy witness of his private worth,
Has caused this monument to be erected.
Stranger, if e'er you honor'd Sidney's fame,
If e'er you lov'd Bayard's reproachless name,
Then on this marble gaze with tearful eyes,
For kindred merit here with VASSALL lies!
But far more blest than France or England's pride,
In the great hour of conquest VASSALL died;
While still undaunted in the glorious strife,
Content he purchased victory with life,
And nobly careless of his own distress,
He bade his mourning comrades onward press;
Bade them (the hero victor o'er the man,)
Complete the conquest which his sword began ;
Then proudly smil'd amidst the pangs of death,
While thanks for victory fill'd his parting breath."t

Lineage.
The traditional origin of the house of
Hay runs thus:-In the reign of Kenneth
the Third, anno 980, the Danes, who had
invaded Scotland, having prevailed at the
battle of Luncarty, near Perth, were pur-
suing the flying Scots, from the field, when
a countryman and his two sons appeared in
narrow pass, through which the van-
quished were hurrying, and impeded for a
moment their flight. What," said the
rustic," had you rather be slaughtered by
your merciless foes, than die honorably in
the field; come, rally, rally!" and he headed
the fugitives, brandishing the yoke of his
plough, and crying out, that help was at hand:
the Danes, believing that a fresh army was
falling upon them, fled in confusion, and the
Scots thus recovered the laurel which they
had lost, and freed their country from ser-
vitude. The battle being won, the old man,
afterwards known by the name of Hay, was
brought to the king, who, assembling a par-
liament at Scone, gave to the said Hay and
his sons, as a joint reward for their valour,
so much land on the river Tay, in the dis-
trict of Gowrie, as a falcon from a man's
hand flew over till it settled; which being
six miles in length, was afterwards called
Errol; and the king being desirous to ele-
vate Hay and his sons from their humble
rank in life, to the order of nobility, his
majesty assigned them a coat of arms, which
was, argent, three escutcheons, gules, to
intimate that the father and two sons had
been the three fortunate shields of Scot-
land. The stone on which the falcon lighted
is still to be seen in the carse of Gowrie, in
a small village called Hawkstone. So much
for tradition. But the incontrovertible
fact is,
of the lands of Errol, from William the

thereby acquired the lands of Petenalin;
which he and his wife, Eva, gave to the
Priory of St. Andrews. Sir William died
towards the close of the twelfth century, and
was s. by his son,
DAVID DE HAYA, who wedded Helen,
daughter of Gilbert, Earl of Strathern, and
had two sons, viz.
1. GILBERT, who succeeded his father
at ERROL, and was ancestor of the
NOBLE house of Errol, which ended
in heiresses in 1717; the youngest
of whom espoused the Earl of Kil-
marnock, and her descendant is now
EARL OF ERROL (See BURKE's Peer-
age and Baronetage).
2. WILLIAM.
The second son,
WILLIAM DE HAYA, obtained from his
brother Gilbert, in 1235, a grant of two
carucates of land, in Errol, called LEYS;
which grant was afterwards confirmed, in
1451, by William, Earl of Errol, to Edmund
Hay, of Leys, the lineal descendant of this
William. He was s. at his demise, by his
son,
DE HAYA, of Leys, father of
EDMUND DE HAYA, of Leys, an eminent
patriot, who distinguished himself in favour
of King ROBERT I. In 1312 he obtained,
to himself and his son William, a lease,
from the abbot and convent of Scone, of the
lands of Balgarvie. From this Edmund de
Haya, the estate of Leys passed from father
to son, to his great-great-grandson,
EDMUND HAY, of Leys, to whom, Wil-
liam, Earl of Errol, granted a charter of
confirmation in 1451. He had issue,
I. EDMUND, his heir.
II. Peter, from whom descend the fa-
milies of KINNOUL, Melginch, Pit-
four, Seggieden, &c. (see HAY, of

estate in 1496. He had four sons,

SEGGIEDEN afterwards belonged to George
Hay, first Earl of Kinnoul, Lord High
Chancellor of Scotland, who died in 1634,
and was succeeded by George, the second
Earl, who adhering to the fortunes of King
CHARLES I. during the civil wars, contracted
so much debt that he found it necessary to
execute a deed of division, dated 1647, by
which the lands and Barony of Seggieden
were assigned, with others, to Sir Thomas
Blair, of Balthayock. These lands were
subsequently in 1652, purchased from the
Blairs, by JOHN NAIRN.

Lineage.
The family of HICKES, appears by
Thoresby's Ducatus Leodiensis, to have
held the manor of Nunnington, in the North
Riding of Yorkshire, so early as the four-
teenth century.
JOHN HICKES, Lord of Nunnington, about
the year 1580, had two sons,

1.
2. Robert, who remained at Nunning-
ton. This gentleman, b. in 1586,
married in 1619, Frances Wright,
and had several children. His grand-
son, Marmaduke, was mayor of Leeds
in 1666-1681, and 1694.
The elder son,
HICKES, who took up his abode at
Nesse, near Nunnington, had two sons,
Ralph, who continued at Nesse, and
WILLIAM, who migrated to Newsham
Hall, near Kirby Wisk, in the North Riding
of Yorkshire. He married Elizabeth Kaye,
and had issue,
GEORGE, b. 20th June, 1640, the cele-
HICKES, OF SILTON HALL.
brated Dr. GEORGE HICKES, Dean of
Worcester 1679, and Suffragan, Bi-
shop of Thetford, a man of universal
learning, deeply read in the primi-
tive fathers of the church, and parti-
cularly erudite in the old northern
languages and antiquities, of which
his "Linguarum veterum Septentrio-
nalium Thesaurus," and the "Gram-
matica Anglo-Saxonicà" are splendid
proofs, and held in high estimation
in this country, and throughout
Europe.

Dr. George Hickes was chaplain,
and his high church principles de-
prived him of the see of Bristol.
the revolution he was an uncompro-
mising non juror, and therefore be-
reft, in 1690, of his benefices and
other church dignities. Subsequently
be espoused the cause of the CHEVA-
LIER, and was actively engaged in
the service of that unfortunate prince.
Dr. George Hickes died in 1715, in
the 75th year of his age.*
JOHN, brother of George, was of dif-
ferent religious principles, and be-
came eminent as a nonconformist.
In the year 1675, having published a
pamphlet complaining of the conven-
ticle act, and of the oppression of
many honest men in Devonshire,
where he was incumbent of Stoke,
two king's messengers were sent to
apprehend him as a state criminal.
"It happened," continues Dr. Ca-
lamy in his nonconformist's memorial,
"that upon the road Dr. J. HICKES
fell into the company of these mes-
sengers, having no suspicion of them.
He travelled all the morning and
dined with them, when they talked
with great freedom against one John
Hickes as an ill man and a great enemy
to the government. He bore with
their scurrility till dinner was over,
and then going to the stable to his
horse, of which he was always tender,
he there gave them to understand he
was the person that they had so vili-
fied, and to teach them to govern
their tongues better in time to come
took his cane and corrected them till
they begged his pardon. He then
mounted his horse and rode to Lon-
don." Upon his arrival, he procured
by means of a friend in power an in-
troduction to the King, with whom he

so successfully pleaded, that he not
only obtained indemnity for himself,
but for all the Devonshire noncon-
formists. In the ensuing reign join-
ing the standard of the illfated Duke
of Monmouth, to whom he was chap-
lain, he suffered death as a traitor,
A. D. 1685.*

The third son,
WILLIAM HICKES, espoused Miss Mary
Oastler, and had a son,

FAMILIES OF BOTELER AND
BOSVILLE.
The BOSVILLS were originally from York-
shire, where several distinct branches for-
merly flourished, and where some still
remain. In the course of a long and un-

Lineage.
The family of JOLLIFFE, originally JOLLI,
is of considerable antiquity in the counties
of Stafford and Worcester, and the pedigree,
in possession of the senior members, com-
prises intermarriages with many eminent
and noble houses. One branch established
in the north, enjoyed, it appears from au-
thentic records, power and affluence, even
before the institution in Europe of heredi-
tary honors.

the 16th century, was father of

The following lines by SAVAGE, entitled
the "Portraiture of a Gentleman," are
known to have been intended for Mr. Jol-
liffe:
A graceful mien, engaging in address;
Looks which at once each winning charm express;
A life, where love, by wisdom polish'd, shines,
Where wisdom's self again, by love, refines;
Where we to chance for friendship never trust,
Nor ever dread from sudden whim disgust;
To social manners, and the heart humane;
A nature ever great, and never vain;
A wit that no licentious coarseness knows :
The sense, that unassuming candour shows:
Reason, by narrow principles uncheck'd,
SLAVE TO NO PARTY, BIGOT TO NO SECT;
Knowledge of various life, of learning too;
Thence taste, thence truth, which will from taste
ensue;
Unwilling censure, though a judgment clear;
A smile indulgent, and that, smile sincere !
An humble, though an elevated mind;
A pride, its pleasure but to serve mankind :
If these esteem and admiration raise,
Give true delight and gain unflatt'ring praise;
In one bright view the accomplished man we
see:-
These graces all were thine, and thou wert he.
Anne, daughter and heiress of - Twyford,
esq. of Kilmersdon, in the county of So-
merset, by whom he had issue,
JOHN-TWYFORD, his heir.
Thomas-Robert, in holy orders.
Charles, an officer in the army, who
fell at Waterloo.
Mary-Anne.
Mr. Jolliffe died on the 6th June, 1824, a
the close of the seventy-eighth year of hi
age. The following particulars of this ex
cellent country gentleman appeared in the
Bath Herald of that period.
"Descended from an ancient family
which dates its origin from the incursion o
the Norman Conqueror, and collaterally
allied to some of the chief nobles of the

Kingdom, Mr. Jolliffe filled an elevated
and credit. Of late years he resided almost
entirely in the country; but he formerly
mingled in the brilliant circles of the Me-
tropolis, and sate in several parliaments,
during the government of Lord North, and
the first poriod of Mr. Pitt's administration.
In the House of Commons, as in every other
situation, he sustained the character of a
high minded and scrupulously honorable
gentleman. Of the disinterested and upright
principle which universally governed hir
conduct, he early in life gave an eminent
ture, which embraced high hereditary rank

desert those connexions whose politica
as well as pecuniary emolument, rather that
views he had conscientiously adopted. Mr.
Jolliffe had considerable property in various
parts of England; but his chief estates were
in Somersetshire, for which county he was
several years since, appointed high-sheriff,
and served the office with a degree of splen-
dour, which has seldom been equalled; the
whole of his retinue on that occasion being
selected from his principal tenantry. As a
magistrate, he was acute, active, humane, up-
right, intrepid, and intelligent; his opinions
were received with the sincerest deference,
and his decisions heard with respectful
acquiescence. On the institution of the
Fencible Dragoons, at an important crisis
of the late war, he was appointed to the
rank of Lieutenant Colonel; a situation for
which he was peculiarly qualified by his
habits of activity, his address in the manage-
ment of his horse, and his personal accom-
plishments. Since the reduction of the
regiment, he has resided almost exclusively
on his extensive domain; where in the
calm scenes of domestic retirement, he be-
came the centre of a grateful and admiring

royalty; to which he ever remained most
faithfully attached. After rendering many
very essential services to his ill-fated sove-
reign, he was at length so desperately

that unhappy conflict. He was s. by his

AGLIONBY, HENRY-AGLIONBY, esq. of Newbiggin Hall, in the county of
Cumberland, b. 28th December, 1790. Mr. Aglionby is M.P. for Cockermouth.
Lineage.
The family of AGLIONBY was established
in Cumberland by one of the soldiers of the
CONQUEST,
WALTER DE AGUILON, who accompanied
Ranulph de Meschines* into that shire, and
fixing his residence there called it Aguilon's
or Aglionby's Building; from him lineally
descended
WILLIAM AGLIONBY, of Aglionby, who m.
in 1391, Maria, daughter of Alan Blenner-
hasset, of Carlisle, and was s. by his son,
THOMAS AGLIONBY, of Aglionby, living
in the time of HENRY V. He wedded Ka-
therine, daughter of Skelton, of Armath-
waite Castle, and was grandfather of
EDWARD AGLIONBY, of Aglionby, who
was sheriff of Cumberland in the 36th of
HENRY VIII. His son and successor,
JOHN AGLIONBY, of Carlisle, espoused a
daughter of Richard Salkeld, esq. of Corby
Castle, and left a son and heir,
EDWARD AGLIONBY, esq. of Carlisle, who
wedded Elizabeth, daughter of Cuthbert
Musgrave, esq. of Crookedayke, and had
issue,
* By some of our historians this Ranulph is
styled Earl of Carlisle from residing in that city.
He was Lord of Cumberland and Carlisle by de-
scent from his father, but having enfeoffed his
two brothers, William of Coupland, and Geffery
of Gillesland, in a large portion thereof, he ex-
changed the earldom of Cumberland for that of
Chester, on condition that those whom he had
settled there, should hold their lands of the king
in capite.-Burke's Extinct and Dormant Peerage.
EDWARD, his heir.
John," who became a student of Queen's
College, in 1583; where, after he
had gone through the servile duties
several years, he became a fellow:
whereupon entering into holy orders,
he became a most polite and learned
preacher. Afterwards travelling, he
was introduced to the acquaintance
of Cardinal Bellarmine, who shewing
to him the picture of Mr. Whitaker
of Cambridge, which hung up in his
library, told him, pointing to the pic-
ture, that he was the most learned
heretic that ever he read, or to that
effect. After his return he was made
chaplain in ordinary to Queen ELI-
ZABETH, took the degree of D.D. in
1600, was made principal of St. Ed-
mund's Hall the year after, being at
that time rector of Islip, near to, and
in the county of Oxford, and soon
after chaplain in ordinary to King
JAMES I. He was a person well ac-
complished in all kind of learning;
profoundly read in the fathers, and
in select divinity; an accomplished
linguist; and of an aquiline acumen;
as one who is profuse in his praise
tells us."+

in the defence of the city of Carlisle, when
besieged by the Parliamentarians, from
October, 1644, until its surrender in June,
1645. In breach, however, of the capitu-
lation that the garrison should enjoy the
honors of war, and the citizens perfect

montem, and of Staunton-cum-Kelvington.
Lineage.
The family of STAUNTON,* which is of
great antiquity; can be regularly traced from
the time of the CONQUEROR, and though the
name has not been ennobled, the STAUN-
TONS have ever maintained the station,
scarcely less enviable, of respected country
gentlemen.
Many of the branches have honorably
served the state in parliament, on the bench,
in the church, and in the army.

of this family, made by one Robert Cade, who
wrote a similar one for the Skeffingtons. It is of

The commencement is as follows:

Lineage.
The family of THORNTON, whence Mr.
Astell derives paternally, was settled at a
remote period in the county of York.
THE REV. ROBERT THORNTON, M.A.
rector of Birkin, in that shire, was eminently
distinguished during the civil conflicts of the
reign of CHARLES I. for his loyalty to his
king and attachment to the church of En-
gland. His great and manifold privations
in those distressing times are fully related
in "Walker's Sufferings of the Clergy."
Mr. Thornton, who was removed from his
rectory during the Protectorate, but rein-
stated at the Restoration, died in 1665, and
lies interred in the church of Birkin, where
a monument is erected to his memory. His
son,
THE REV. ROBERT THORNTON, A. M.
rector of Birkin, "who," as the inscription
on his tomb relates, "having lived happily
about forty-five years with his wife, Mrs.
Clare Thornton, a virtuous charitable and
hospitable house-keeper, by whom he had
nine children, buried her 3rd December,
1696, aged 65 years, and himself was laid
with her, 2nd February, 1697, in the 74th

May, 1749, m. 4th January, 1790, Frances, second
daughter of the late Hervey Christian Combe, esq. of

Maria.
Mr. Delafield is the second son of the late John Dela-
field, esq. but his elder brother, Count Delafield, having
established himself abroad, he is now the representative
of the family in England. The Count appears to be the un-
doubted heir to the ancient BARONY OF FITZ WARINE,
which has been suspended for more than four centuries.
Lineage.
This family derives its descent from the
COUNTS DE LA FELD, the once powerful pro-
prietors of the demesnes and castle near
Colmar, of which the latter still bears their
name. These Lords had large possessions
in Alsace and Loraine, and are frequently
mentioned in the wars of those countries.
The Croix d'or of La Feld, their ancient
badge, is still the coat armour of the house
immediately before us.
It is probable that HUBERTUS DE LA FELD
was the first of his race that emigrated to
England; and that he came over amongst
the crowd of foreigners who attended the
conqueror hither, his name appearing en-
rolled as the owner of lands in the county of
Lancaster, in the third of WILLIAM I. The
name of JOHN DE LA FELD occurs in the 12th
of HENRY I. as a proprietor in the counties
of Lancaster and Bucks; of ROBERT DE LA
FELD, without a date, and of JOHN DE la
FELD, in the 38th and 43rd of HENRY III.
The last mentioned person,
JOHN DE LA FELD, witnessed two deeds
in the same years on the marriages of his
son and daughter, viz.
JOHN, of whom presently.

county of Lincoln, and had issue,

SIR THOMAS DEI AFIELD, m. in the 21st of

and a daughter, Isabel; which John having
removed with the court to Calais in 1500,
on account of a great pestilence then raging
in England, and not returning for several
years, it was supposed by his family that
he had perished; and ISABEL, his only sis-
ter, being married to Gerald Fitzgerald, of
Alloone (descended from Maurice, first
Knight of Kerry, and son of John, fourth
Lord of Offaley), took the lordship of Cul-
duffe into that family, for which the Fitz-
geralds of Alloone quartered the arms of
Delafield. She had issue, Bartholomew

heir of William Fitzwarine, summoned to parlia-
ment 16th EDWARD III. as Lord Fitz Warine. In
Burke's Extinct and Dormant Peerage there is an
evident mistake regarding this Lord Fitz Warine
and his descendants, who are confounded with
those of Robert, Lord Fitzpayne. Lord Fitz-
warine left an only son, Ivo or JOHN FITZWARINE,
who was with the Earl of Buckingham at the
siege of Nantz, and after that, in 9th Ric. II. with
the Duke of Lancaster in his naval expedition for
the recovery of the inheritance of Constance, his

Lineage.
From the CONSTABLESHIP of Chester, which
it formerly enjoyed, this family derives its
surname. Soon after the Norman conquest,
WILLIAM having conferred on Hugh de
Abrincis the palatinate of Chester, to hold
"ita liberè ad gladium sicut ipse rex tene-
bat Angliam ad coronam," that nobleman,
for the greater efficiency of his government,
nominated eight barons under himself being
according to Camden, "all his trusty
friends:" Of these the chief was NIGELL, the
cousin of Hugh, whom the Earl created
Baron of Halton, and appointed, in recom-
pense for his bold and daring exploits,
CONSTABLE of CHESTER, then an officer of
a high rank, to whom was committed the
command of all the soldiers, with the charge
of the horses, armour, and other munitions
of war.

ter, founder of the abbey of Norton, whose
daughter,
AGNES, heiress to her brother William,
espoused EUSTACE FITZ JOHN, one of the
most potent among the Northern barons in
the reign of HENRY I. This Eustace was
son of John Monoculus, Lord of Knares-
borough, brother and heir of Serlo de Burgh,
who erected, temp WILLIAM the Conqueror,
the castle of Knaresborough. By his first
wife, Agnes, Eustace acquired the Barony
of Halton, &c. and had an only son, RICHARD
FITZ EUSTACE. He wedded secondly, Bea-
trice, only daughter and heiress of Ivo de
Vesci, Lord of Alnwick, in Northumberland,
and of Malton in Yorkshire, and had issue,

honors of his mother, became Baron of Hal-

This gentleman, who is now male representative of the CRAUFURDS, of Craufurd,
Loudoun, Crosby, &c. inherited the estates at the decease of his father, in 1794.
He was formerly a captain in the 7th Hussars, and served with that regiment in the
Peninsula.
Lineage.
The family of CRAWFURD is of Norman | died in 1248, and was buried in Melrose
origin, and appears to descend from one of Abbey, leaving two daughters, his co-heirs,
those knights who accompanied Malcolm who conveyed the greater portion of the
Canmore from England, and encouraged by Crawfurd estates to the families of their
grants of land from that prince, settled in husbands, Douglas, ancestor of the dukes
Scotland. In the Chartularies, Advocates of Douglas, and Lindsay, ancestor of the
Library, Edinburgh, mention is made of a earls of Crawfurd and Lindsay. The terri-
Reginald de Crawfurd in the beginning of tory thus divided was afterwards called
the 12th century. He assumed his name Crawfurd Lindsay, and Crawfurd Douglas.
(agreeably to the practice of the age) from But a third portion subsequently, for dis-
his barony of Crawfurd, in Clydesdale, sig-tinction, denominated Crawfurd John Ba-
nifying in Gaellic, "the pass of blood."*
In 1127 there were two knights (brothers,
and sons most probably of this Reginald)
Sir John and Sir Gregan Crawfurd, both in
the service of King DAVID I. In commemo-
ration of that monarch's life, having been
preserved when hunting in Holyrood Park,
by the younger brother, the abbey of Holy-
rood was founded, and Sir Gregan's arms
placed therein.
In 1170 a Dominus GALFREDUS DE CRAW-
FURD, frequently occurs among the Magna-
tes Scotiæ, as a witness to the charters of
his sovereign. He wedded sister of John
le Scott, earl of Chester, and daughter of
David, earl of Huntingdon, second son of
DAVID I. of Scotland, by his Queen Maud,
daughter of Valdosius, earl of Northumber-
land, and Judith, niece of WILLIAM the
Conqueror. From this Galfred sprang
SIR JOHN CRAWFURD, of Crawfurd, who
* The pass, however, near which stand the
ruins of Crawfurd Castle, has, for many centuries,
been called Norman Gill.
rony, remained in the possession of John
Crawfurd, the male representative of Sir
John. From Galfred de Crawfurd also
sprang
SIR REGINALD DE CRAWFURD, a personage
of great eminence, who espoused, about the
year 1200, the heiress of the extensive
barony of Loudoun, in Ayrshire (which after-
wards gave the title of earl to its possessors)
and he became the first vicecomes or lord
lieutenant of the county, the office being
made hereditary in his family. The fifth in
descent from this Sir Reginald, was another
SIR REGINALD CRAWFURD, knt. of Lou-
doun, vicecomes de Air, one of the most
patriotic upholders of the freedom of Scot-
land,against the English monarch, EDWARD I.
he lost his life in the service of his country,
with his great kinsman, SIR WILLIAM WAL-
LACE,* leaving an only daughter and heiress,
* This distinguished and immortal hero was
son of Malcolm Wallace, lord of Ellerslie, by Mar-
garet, his wife, sister to Sir Reginald Crawfurd,
of Loudoun, and aunt to the Sir Reginald, men-
tioned in the text.

CRAWFURD, OF CROSBY.
SUSANNA, who espoused Sir Duncan
Campbell, of Lochaw, and from this
marriage lineally descends the pre-
sent
Flora - Muir Campbell - Rawdon-
Hastings, COUNTESS OF LOUDOUN,
in her own right. (See Burke's
Peerage.)
Sir Reginald dying thus without male issue,
the representation of the house of CRAW-
FURD reverted to his cousin,
HUGH Crawfurd, second son of Sir Re-
ginald Crawfurd, of Loudoun, who was
treacherously murdered at Ayr in 1297.
This Hugh, who appears to have inherited
from Loudoun the lands of Monoch, of
which his grandfather had a charter in
1226, and also CROSBY, near Kilbride, an
ancient tenure of Loudoun, was s. at his
decease, by his son,
REGINALD CRAWFURD, of Crosby, who
obtained in 1320 a grant of the lands of
AUCHINAMES, in Renfrewshire, for his ser-
vices to Robert Bruce, as well as an aug-
mentation to his arms of two lances in sal-
tire, commemorative of his exploits at Ban-
nockburn. To him succeeded his son,
REGINALD CRAWFURD, of Auchinames*
and Crosby, whose name appears prefixed
as a witness to a charter by Robert, the
high steward, in 1358. His son and suc-
cessor,
THOMAS CRAWFURD,† of Auchinames, is
* Auchinames being the larger possession be-
came the designation of the family, though in a
different county and a less ancient estate.
+ Crawfurd, the eminent historian and gene-
alogist, deduces the CRAWFURDS of KILBIRNIE from
a younger brother of this Thomas,
JOHN CRAWFURD, who was direct ancestor of
MALCOLM CRAWFURD, of Greenock, who es-
poused Marjory, daughter and sole heiress of John
Barclay, of Kilbirnie, a branch of the ancient
house of Barclay of Ardrossan. From this mar-
riage descended
JOHN CRAWFURD, of Kilbirnie, who succeeded
to that estate in 1622. He m. Mary, daughter of
James, Earl of Glencairn, and, about the year
1627, rebuilt the house of Kilbirnie, in a style of
feudal magnificence. He was s. by his eldest
son,
SIR JOHN CRAWFURD, knt. of Kilbirnie, who
left by his second wife, Magdalene, daughter of
Jord Carnegie, two daughters,
Ann, m. to Sir Archibald Stewart, of Black-
hall.
MARGARET, who wedded the Hon. Patrick
Lindsay, second son of John, fourteenth
Earl of Crawfurd, and first Earl of Lind-
say.
Sir John Crawfurd having settled the estate of
Kilbirnie on the issue of the marriage of his
daughter Margaret, it eventually devolved to her
eldest son,
mentioned by Crawfurd, in his History of
Renfrewshire, in which he relates the sub-
stance of a mortification to the church of
Kilbarchan, dated 1401, for a monk to say
mass for the salvation of his soul, and his
wife's, and his father's, and mother's, and
for the soul of Reginald Crawfurd, his
grandfather. He wedded the daughter and
heiress of Malcolm Galbraith, and was s.
by his son,
ARCHIBALD CRAWFURD, of Auchinames,
who m. Margaret, daughter and co-heiress
of Sir William Douglas, of Peircetoun, and
had (with a younger child, Thomas, ancestor
of the Crawfurds of Thirdpart) a son and
heir,
ROBERT CRAWFURD, of Auchinames, who
wedded, first, —, daughter of Archibald,
Earl of Angus; and secondly, a daughter
of Houstoun, of Houstoun. He was s. at
his decease by his eldest son,
ROBERT CRAWFURD, of Auchinames, who,
in 1488, acted as arbiter between the abbot
and convent of Paisley, and the burgh of
Renfrew. This gentleman accompanying
his sovereign, JAMES IV. to the battle of
JOHN LINDSAY, esq. who assumed, upon be-
coming of "Kilbirnie," the surname and arms of
CRAWFURD. In 1693, he was elected M. P. for
Ayrshire, and again in the reign of Queen Anne.
In 1705, he was elevated to the peerage as VIS-
COUNT GARNOCK. His lordship was s. by his eldest
son,
PATRICK CRAWFURD, second Viscount Garnock,
who died in 1735, and was s. by his eldest son,
PATRICK CRAWFURD, third Viscount Garnock,
who died unmarried, and was s. by his brother,
GEORGE CRAWFURD, fourth Viscount Garnock,
who inherited, on the death of the celebrated
John, Earl of CRAWFURD and LINDSAY, the estates
and honors of that family. His lordship m. in
1755, Jean, eldest daughter and heiress of Robert
Hamilton, esq. of Bourtreehill, and dying in 1781
left issue,
GEORGE, who s. as twentieth Earl of Craw-
furd, and fifth Viscount Garnock. His
lordship, who was lord-lieutenant of Fife-
shire, died unmarried in 1808, and was s.
by his sister, Lady MARY LINDSAY CRAW-
FURD.
Robert Lindsay Hamilton, who d. unmarried
in 1801.
Bute, died unmarried.
Jean, m. to Archibald, eleventh Earl of
Eglintoun, and d. s. p. in 1778.
Mary, the present Lady MARY LINDSAY
CRAWFURD, of Crawfurd Priory.
+++ About twenty years ago, a claimant appeared
for the barony and estates of the great family of
Crawfurd and Lindsay; for a full account of
which claim, and an able refutation of its pre-
tensions, see "An Examination of the Claim of

Flodden, was there slain in 1513, and was
s. by his eldest son,
JAMES CRAWFURD, of Auchinames, who
obtained from his father in 1498, a charter
of Crosby and Monoch. To him succeeded
his son,
THOMAS CRAWFURD, of Auchinames, liv-
ing in 1535. This laird married Marion,
daughter of Montgomery, of Hazlehead, by
whom he had three sons, successive Lords
of Auchinames, by the eldest of whom,
JOHN CRAWFURD, of Auchinames, he was
succeeded at his decease. This gentleman
being slain at the battle of Pinkie in 1547,
and dying without issue, the estates de-
volved on his next brother,
WILLIAM CRAWFURD, of Auchinames, who
wedded Annabel, daughter of Chalmers of
Gadgirth, and had one son,
JAMES, who m. the Lady Elizabeth
Cunningham, daughter of William,
sixth Earl of Glencairn, by a daugh-
ter of Gordon of Lochinvar, and pre-
deceasing his father, left an only
child,
JANE, on whom he settled the
lands of CROSBY. This lady
wedded, about the year 1606,
PATRICK CRAWFURD, of Auchi-
names, and thus the ancient
estates of the family were re-
united.
William Crawfurd died in 1582, when the
barony of Auchinames, according probably
to the tenure on which it was held, passed
to his brother,
PATRICK CRAWFURD, of Auchinames, who
m. a daughter of John Frazer, third laird
of Knock (by Margaret, his wife, only child
and heiress of Sir John Stuart, of Glender-
ston, fourth son of John, first Earl of Len-
nox, grandson of the celebrated Sir John
Stuart, Count Devereux, field-marshal of
France), and had a son and successor,
WILLIAM CRAWFURD, of Auchinames, who
wedded, in 1587, a daughter of Sir Patrick
Houstoun, of that Ilk, and was s. by his
son,
PATRICK CRAWFURD, of Auchinames, who
espoused, in 1606, Jane Crawfurd, heiress
of Crosby, and thus again united the ancient
estates of Crosby and Auchinames. He had
issue,
WILLIAM, his heir.

"Captain Robert Crawfurd, of Nether-
mains ;" and that the Nethermains so al-
luded to, was the Nethermains of Kilwin-
ning, whence sprang the Crawfurds of New-
field, is sufficiently attested by the will of
Patrick Crawfurd, of Auchinames, lately
discovered among the records of the Com-
missary Court of Glasgow. This testament
bears date at Crosby, parish of Largs, the
XII day of December, 1648, and in it are
enumerated his children by name; it is
"witnessed by William Craufurd, younger,

Lineage.
The family of CAMPBELL, is one of the
most distinguished in Scotland; and its
head, ARGYLL, in feudal times, was perhaps
the most powerful subject in the kingdom.
SIR COLIN CAMPBELL, of Lochow, (grand-
son of Sir Colin, distinguished for his war-
like achievements by the surname of More
or the Great,) was lineally descended from
Gillespick Campbell, who eight centuries
before, had obiained, by marriage with
an heiress, the lordship of Lochow, in Ar-
gyllshire. Sir Colin acquired renown in
the service of his uncle ROBERT BRUCE, and
dying in 1340, left issue,
ARCHIBALD, from whom the ducal fa-

Dugald, who lost his estates by his
adhesion to Edward Baliol.
The second son,
JOHN CAMPBELL* appears to have held
ARDSKEODNISH as well as BARBRECK. His
descendants continued possessed of the
latter estate until, the male heirs having
failed in the sixth generation, the heiress
conveyed BARBRECK to her husband,
COLIN CAMPBELL, a relation of Archibald,
second earl of Argyll, who, in right of his
marriage, assumed the designation "of
Barbreck," and as he lineally descended
from Sir Colin, father to John, the FIRst
BARBRECK, the link of the male line was thus
restored. To Colin Campbell and the Lady
of Barbreck, succeeded their son,
COLIN CAMPBELL, of Barbreck, whose
name appears as witness to two deeds,
bearing date 1575. He was s. by his son,
SIR ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, knt. of Bar-
breck, mentioned in several records in the
early part of the seventeenth century. Sir
Archibald was s. about the year 1630, by
his son,
slight alarms and skirmishes, that neither
gave the other time to repose. They all
earnestly wished for day, only Argyll, more
intent on his own safety, conveyed himself
away about the middle of the night, and
having very opportunely got a boat, escaped
the hazard of a battle, choosing rather to be
a spectator of the prowess of his men, than
share in the danger himself. Nevertheless,
the chiefs of the Campbells, who are indeed
a set of very brave men, and worthy of a
better chief, and a better cause, began the
battle with great courage. But their first
ranks discharging their muskets only once,
Montrose's men fell upon them sword in
hand, with a great shout, and advanced with
such impetuosity, that they routed the whole
army, and put them to flight, and pursued
them for about nine miles, making dreadful
slaughter all the way. There were fifteen
hundred of the enemy slain, among whom
were several gentlemen of distinction of the
name of Campbell, who led on the clan, and
fell on the field of battle, too gallantly for
their dastardly chief. Montrose, though an
enemy, pitied their fate, and used his au-
as he could. In this battle Montrose had
several wounded, but he had none killed
but three privates, and Sir Thomas Ogilvie,
the lairds of Auchenbreck, Glensaddell, and
son of the earl of Airly; while Argyll lost
Locknell, with his son and brother; and
BARBRECK, Inneraw, Lamont, Silvercraigs,
bell left two sons, DONALD and Duncan; by
and many others prisoners." Colin Camp-
bell left two sons, DONALD and Duncan; by
the elder,
COLIN CAMPBELL, of Barbreck, who wed-thority to save and give quarter to as many
ded a lady of his own name.
This laird,
as well as his successors, were for nearly a
century connected with, and actively en-
gaged in, all the troubles that afflicted Scot-
land. During the civil wars of the reign of
CHARLES I. the Campbells were pre-emi-
nently distinguished, and when the estates
of the kingdom (assembled in Edinburgh,
26th August, 1643,) passed an act for the
committees of war, and putting the king-
dom in a posture of defence, Robert Camp-
bell, of Glenurchie, Sir Duncan Campbell,
of Auchinbreck, Duncan Campbell, of Dun-
dron, and Colin Campbell, of Barbreck,
were appointed colonels of horse in the
sheriffdom of Argyll. Colin Campbell served
in other wars besides those of Scotland,
as an agreement between himself and his
wife's brothers indicates. He afterwards
fought and was taken prisoner at the battle
of Inverlochy, when the Marquiss of Argylle
was defeated by Montrose. "The moon
shone so clear," says Wishart, in describing
this engagement, "that it was almost as
light as day; they lay upon their arms the
whole night, and, with the assistance of the

written in 1777, by Mr. Duncanson, of Inverary,
this JOHN is styled John Annan, or weak John;
and the same author thus proceeds, "some reckon
John Annan to have been the eldest son, and, by
advice, to have resigned the estate to his brother,
reserving for himself the straight of Craignish.
From this John Annan is descended the old family
of BARBRECK."
succeeded about the year 1648, although
DONALD CAMPBELL, of Barbreck, he was
the saisine in his favor, as heir to the estate,
is not dated until about two years afterwards.
This laird was appointed in 1648, by the
convention of the Scotch estates, one of the
colonels of Horse for the county of Argyll,
and in the act passed in 1661 by the parlia-
ment, for "raising the annuitie of 40,000
lib. sterling, granted to his majestye, Donald
Campbell, of Barbreck, is nominated one
of the parliamentary commissioners to carry
it into effect in the county of Argyll. For
several
years subsequently, Barbreck was
entrusted by the Scottish parliament with
being involved in the misfortunes of the ill-
various duties of importance; but in 1686,
fated earl of Argyll, the lands and barony
of BARBRECK were forfeited and granted to
Sir James Steuart, of Bute, and to render
this grant effectual, the Scottish parliament
passed an act of Ratification in favor of
Sir James. No actual possession followed,
however, on this parliamentary ratifica-
tion; for we find in the year after the
Revolution, that WILLIAM and MARY, by
their commissioners, issued a proclamation
CAMPBELL, OF BARBRECK.
for calling together the militia on this side
of the Tay, and amongst other nominations,
Archibald Campbell, younger of Berbreck,
appointed captain. To Donald succeeded
his son,
ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, of Barbreck. This
gentleman continued for many years in
possession of the lands and barony of Bar-
breck, but from the persecutions to which
he and his family had been so long subject,
during the disturbances of Scotland, and
the heavy fine which had been imposed on
his father, Barbreck was compelled to bor-
row money from Lord Breadalbane and
others, which led eventually to an attempt
on their part to sell a portion of the Bar-
breck property, but this was resisted by the
Duke of Argyll, who considering that the
proceeding had violated the charter by which
the lands were originally held, claimed their
reversion to himself as chief of the clan.
The case was heard, by appeal, before the
House of Lords, in 1732, and decided* in
favour of his Grace, who thus obtained pos-
session of the estate.† Archibald Camp-
bell espoused Barbara, daughter of Sir Du-
gald Stewart, sheriff of Bute, and sister to
James, first Earl of Bute, by whom he had
issue,
JAMES, his heir.
JOHN, successor to his brother.
The elder son,
JAMES CAMPBELL, esq. of Barbreck,‡ wed-
ded his cousin, Isabel, daughter of John

Caithness, but leaving no surviving issue

dered peculiarly harsh and severe, occurred only
about fifteen years before the passing of an act
abolishing the arbitrary right, under which the
claim was established.
+ This property, or rather that part containing
the site of the old mansion of Barbreck, was after-
wards, in 1754, bought by another Archibald
Campbell, who subsequently disposed of it to
General Campbell, of Ballimore, who left it to his
nephew, General Campbell, of Lochnell.
In Scotland it is understood, that when an
old family parts with the property, from which its
distinguishing name has been derived, the head
continues, by courtesy, still to be known by the
appellation.

ter of Sir James Campbell, bart. of Auchen-
breck, and d. in 1804. The elder son,
COLONEL CHARLES CAMPBELL, of Bar-
breck, inherited that portion of Hartfield
which belonged to his mother; and his aunt
Mary conveyed to him the remainder: the
whole of which he subsequently sold to
David Ross, esq. of Inverchasly (afterwards
a Scotch judge, by the title of Lord Anker-
ville). Colonel Campbell also possessed
property in the Isle of Bute, held of the
crown, and acquired, by purchase (princi-
pally in 1767), a considerable estate in Ar-
gyllshire. He wedded, in 1750, Miss D.
Morgan, and had (with two daughters, one
of whom died single, and the other married,
David Campbell, esq. of Combie) three sons,
viz.
1. DONALD, his heir.
2. Laurence, b. in 1753, a captain in
the army, originally of the Scots
Greys, and afterwards of the 71st
Highlanders; in which latter regi-
ment he served, and was wounded,
during the American war. He died
in 1824.
3. Charles, a major - general in the
army, b. in 1762, and d. in 1822.
Colonel Campbell died in 1792, and was s.
by his eldest son,
DONALD CAMPBELL, esq. of Barbreck, b.
in 1751. This gentleman, having at an early
age adopted the military profession, was
distinguished, under General Mathews, in
India, and, while a prisoner in Bidanore,
acquired such an influence over the go-
vernor, that he hastened at a very critical
moment the surrender of that important
fortress. Captain Campbell wedded in 1778,
Mary Campbell, a daughter of Lord Frede-
rick Campbell, by whom he had issue,
FREDERICK-WILLIAM, his heir.
John, b. in 1786, who lost his life while
serving with Lord Keith on board

Lineage.
This family deduces its line from a com-
mon ancestor with the noble and potent
houses of the Geraldines, or Fitz Geralds, of
Ireland, and the Gerards and Carews of
England, (see pedigree of Carew, p. 266,)
being all descended from GERALD DE WIND-
SOR, Constable of Pembroke, and governor
of South Wales, who, by Nesta, his wife,
daughter of Rhys-ap-Tudur, Prince of South
Wales, had three sons, viz.
William, ancestor of the Lords Gerard,
of England, and Earls of Kerry, in
Ireland.
MAURICE.
David, who was consecrated Bishop of
St. Davids about the year 1147, and
d. in 1176.
The second son,
MAURICE FITZ GERALD, was one of the sol-
diers of fortune who accompanied STRONG-
Bow into Ireland, in 1168; he d. in the year
|
1177, and was buried in the Abbey of Grey
Friars, at Wexford. He had five sons and
a daughter,

ciary of Ireland, ancestor of the Earls
of Kildare, now Dukes of Leinster.

house of DESMOND, and a branch from that
numerous sept was established in Wales, by
OSBER, or OSBORN, frequently denomi-
nated FITZGERALD, but more commonly
called by the Welsh heralds, WYDDEL,
(the Irishman,) who emigrated from Ire-
land, his native country, about the middle
of the thirteenth century, for the purpose,
probably, of supporting LLEWELYN, the
reigning monarch of the Welch, in his con-
tests with the English king. Osborn subse-
quently obtained, in requital of his services,
the grant of an extensive territory in the
county of Merioneth. He had two sons,
EINION AP OSBORN, who had four sons, but
of their descendants, if any be extant, no-
thing is now known, and
CYNRIC AP OSBORN, who, on the division
of his father's lands, according to the cus-
tom of Gravel kind, prevalent in Wales
until the passing of the ordinance for the
better government of that country in the
parliament of the 34th and 35th of HENRY
VIII., inherited, as a portion of his share,
the domain of Cors-y-gedol, in Merioneth-

by the Rev. Mr. Warrington, is printed in the
notes to Sir Walter Scott's Marmion.
His defence of this fortress against the forces
of EDWARD IV. is thus noticed in the autobi-
ography of the celebrated Lord Herbert of Cher-
bury. "Sir Richard Herbert being imployed
together with his brother William, Earl of Pem-
broke, to reduce certain rebells in North Wales,
Sir Richard Herbert besieged a principal person
of them at Harlech Castle in Merionethshire. The
captain of this place had been a soldier in the
wars of France, whereupon he said he had kept a
castle in France so long, that he made the old
women in Wales talk of him, and that he would
keep this castle so long that he would make the
old women in France talk of him; and indeed as
the place was almost impregnable but by famine,
Sir Richard Herbert was constrained to take him
by composition, he surrend'ring himself upon
condition that Sir Richard Herbert shou'd do
what he cou'd to save his life; which being ac-
cepted, Sir Richard brought him to King EDWARD
IV. desiring his Highness to give him a pardon,
since he yielded up a place of importance, which
he might have kept longer upon this hope; but
the King replying to Sir Richard Herbert, that
he had no power by his commission to pardon any,
and therefore might after the representation hereof
to his Majesty, safe deliver him up to justice, Sir
Richard Herbert answered he had not yet done
the best he could for him, and therefore most
humbly desired his Highness to do one of two
things, either to put him again in the castle where
he was, and command some other to take him.

.
Lineage.
The family of ABNEY, originally D'Au-
bigny, is of great antiquity in the county of
Derby, where they were seated at Abney
in the Peak, (to which doubtless they gave
the name) about the time of the Conquest.
JOHN DE ABENEY, living at Wivelislie, in
the year 1318, was father of
WILLIAM DE ABENEY, whose son,
JOHN DE ABENEY, espoused about the
year 1400, the elder co-heir of William de
Ingewardeby, of Willesleye,* and acquired
thereby, the manors of Willesley, and Pot-
lock, in Derbyshire, with lands in Packing-
* The family of Wiveleslie, (the ancient name
of Willesley) was possessed of the lordship at a
very early period. In the year 1160,
MICHAEL DE WIVELESLIE was lord of the manor,
and granted lands to John de Yngwereby, then
living at Willesley. The son of this John,
WILLIAM DE INGWEREBY, wedded about the
year 1290, ALBREDA DE WIVELESLIE, daughter of
MICHAEL, and sister of ADO de Wiveleslie, and
obtained the rest of the lands together with the
lordship. They were succeeded by their son,
NICHOLAS DE INGWEREBY, whose grandson,
WILLIAM DE INGEWARDEBY, left two daughters,

period of life, and died, after filling all the
duties of a country gentleman in the most

one of the last of that old fashioned race

and gifted with a mind so liberally and no-
bly constructed is attested by the direction
which he gave to the fortunes of two men
who rose to considerable eminence, and
whose course was attended by great national
prosperity. The first, WILKES of Measham,
distinguished as a cotton spinner, and the
partner of the late Sir Robert Peel, was
indebted to Mr. Abney for the means of
bringing his abilities and industry into
activity. The second, William Salt of Tot-
tenham, was one of the children of a nu-
merous family of a widowed tenant of Mr.
Abney, whom he first educated, and sub-
sequently apprenticed to the ribbon trade
in Coventry. This gentleman, like Wilkes,

CURWEN, OF WORKINGTON HALL.
Lineage.
The ARCHERS came over at the time of
the Conquest, and the name is to be found
in the Battle Abbey Roll. A branch of the
family was ennobled, anno 1747, in the
person of THOMAS ARCHER, esq. M.P. for
Warwick, who was created BARON ARCHER,
of Umberslade, in Warwickshire. (See
BURKE'S Extinct and Dormant Peerage.)
The line more immediately before us ap-
pears to have been settled in Cornwall for
at least four hundred years, a John Archer
having represented Helston in parliament
so far back as the time of HENRY VI. Dur-
ing the usurpation of CROMWELL, a pre-
sumed member of the Cornish family at-
tained eminence at the bar, and was made
serjeant-in-law in 1658, preparatory to his
being placed on the bench of the Common
Pleas the next year. The elder branch of
the Cornish Archers, which was seated near
the Lizard, became extinct in the reign of
EDWARD IV. when the heiress wedded Le-
veles of St. Burian, in the church whereof
their ensigns are constantly traced in old
carved work amongst the quarterings of
other families. Upon the extinction of this
branch the representation devolved on the
Archers of Trelaske.
JOHN ARCHER (whose father married
Swete, of Modbury, in Devon) espoused the
sister and heiress of Samuel Addis, of White-
ford, and left, with other issue, at his de-
cease in 1726,
SWETE NICHOLAS ARCHER, esq. of Tre-
laske, who served the office of sheriff for
|

Cornwall in the year 1758. He m. Anne

EDWARD ARCHER, esq. of Trelaske, who
was sheriff of Cornwall in 1794. This gen-
tleman espoused Theophila Freno, by whom
(who d. in 1798) he had no issue. Mr. Ar-
cher died at Plymouth, whither he had
gone for the benefit of his health, and was
buried in the family vault at Lewannick.
He was s. at his decease by his brother,
SAMUEL ARCHER, esq. who wedded Do-

Yonge, of Portlinch, in the county of Devon,
by whom (who d. in 1797) he had issue,

57S
CURWEN, OF WORKINGTON HALL.
Lineage.
Workington (says Camden) is now the |
seat of the ancient knightly family of the
CURWENS, descended from Gospatric, Earl
of Northumberland, who took that name by
covenant from Culwen, a family of Gallo-
way, the heir whereof they had married.
They have a stately castle-like seat; and
from this family (increaseth vanity) I myself
am descended by the mother's side."
IVO DE TALBOYS, first Lord of Kendal,
brother of Fulk, Earl of Anjou and King of
Jerusalem, espoused Elgiva, daughter of
our Saxon monarch ETHELDRED, and was
father of
ELDRED OF ETHELDRED, second feudal
Lord of Kendal, who m. Adgitha, and was
s. by his son,
KITEL, third Baron of Kendal. This
feudal lord married a lady named Chris-
tiana, as appears by his grant of the Church
of Morland to the Abbey of St. Mary's in
York, to which she was a subscribing wit-
ness. By her he had issue,
I. GILBERT, successor to the barony of
Kendal, whose son,
WILLIAM, assumed, according to
Dugdale, from being governor
of Lancaster Castle, the surname
of LANCASTER. From him de-
scended
JOHN DE LANCASTER, who was
summoned to parliament as
a BARON in 1299. (See
Burke's Extinct Peerage.)
II. ORME.
III. William.
The second son,
ORME, wedded Gunilda, sister of Wal-
dieve, first Lord of Allerdale, son of Gos-
patrick, Earl of Dunbar, and acquiring by
grant from the said Waldieve the manor of
Seaton, below Derwent, parcel of the barony
of Allerdale, took up his abode there; he
had also by the same conveyance the towns
of Camberton, Crayksothen, and Flemingby.
The walls and ruins of the mansion-house of
Seaton, Mr. Denton states to have been
visible in his time. Orme was s. by his
son,
GOSPATRIC, to whom Alan, second Lord
of Allerdale, his cousin german, gave High
Ireby, which remained vested in a younger
branch of the Curwens, which terminated
in female heirs. This Gospatric was the
first of the family who was Lord of WORK-
INGTON, having exchanged with his cousin,
William de Lancaster, the lordship of Mid-
dleton in Westmorland for the lands of
Lamplugh and Workington in Cumberland. |
|
In this bargain De Lancaster retained to
himself and his heirs an annual rent charge
of 6d. to be paid at the fair of Carlisle, or
a pair of gilt spurs, binding Gospatric and
his heirs to do homage, and to discharge his
foreign service for the same to the barony
or castle of Egremont. Gospatric had, with
four younger sons (Gilbert, Adam, Orme,
and Alexander), his successor,
THOMAS, called after the fashion of those
times, SON OF GOSPATRIC. To this Thomas,
one Rowland, son of Ughtred, son of Fergus,
gave the lordship of CULWEN, in Galloway.
He d. 7th December, 1152, having had
issue,
THOMAS, who m. Joan, daughter of
Robert de Veteripont, but died in the
lifetime of his father, leaving an only
daughter, who wedded Harrington,
of Harrington.
PATRIC.
Alan, who acquired by gift of his bro-
ther Patric the lands of CAMERTON,
and thence deriving their surname,
the Camertons descend from him.
This Thomas, son of Gospatric, granted.
Lamplugh to Robert de Lamplugh and his
heirs, to be holden by the yearly present-
ment of a pair of gilt spurs. To his second
son, Patric, he had given, while his eldest
son was living, the lordship of CULWEN, in
Galloway, and the said Patric assuming his
surname therefrom, became
PATRIC DE CULWEN; his elder brother
dying subsequently without male issue, he
succeeded to the entire estate, and was
thenceforward designated "Patric de Cul-
wen, of Workington." He was s. by his
eldest
son,
THOMAS DE CULWEN, of Workington, who
was s. at his decease by his brother,
GILBERT DE CULWEN, of Workington, who
left, by his wife Editha, a son and heir,
GILBERT DE CULWEN, of Workington, who
d. in the third of EDWARD III. and was s.
by his son,
Sir Gilbert de CULWEN, of Workington,
who was returned to parliament by the
county of Cumberland in the 47th, 48th,
and 50th of EDWARD III. He died in the
seventh of the next reign, and was s. by his
son,
SIR CHRISTOPHer de Culwen, of Work-
ington. This gentleman, like his father,
represented his native county in several
parliaments. He was sheriff of the same
shire in the second and twelfth of HENRY
VI. by the name of CULWEN, and in the
sixth of the same reign by that of CURWEN,
CURWEN, OF WORKINGTON HALL.
579
to which latter cognomen the family has | and had a third son, ELDRED. He d. in the
ever since adhered. Sir Christopher was s. 21st of JAMES I., and was s. by his eldest
by his son,
SIR THOMAS CURWEN, of Workington,
M. P. for Cumberland, who d. 3rd EDWARD
IV., and was s. by his son,
SIR CHRISTOPHER CURWEN, of Working-
son,
SIR PATRICK CURWEN, of Workington,
M.P. for Cumberland, who was created a
BARONET in 1626, but dying issueless, in
1664, the title became extinct, while the es-
brother,
ton, living temp. HENRY VII. who left at his tates devolved upon btinct, while the es-
decease a son and successor,
SIR THOMAS CURWEN, of Workington.
This gentleman d. in the 34th of HENRY
VIII., and in that year, by an inquisition of
knight's fees in Cumberland, it was found
that he held the manor of Workington of
the king by knight's service, as of his castle
of Egremont. He was possessed at the same
time of the manor of Thornthwaite, and of
one third of Bothill, with the manors of Sea-
ton and Camerton, and divers tenements in
Gilerouse, Great Broughton, and Dereham.
He was s. by his son,
SIR HENRY CURWEN, of Workington, who
had the honor of affording an asylum in his
mansion-house to the Queen of Scotland,
MARY STUART, when that unhappy princess
sought the protection of England, and had
the good feeling to treat the fallen sovereign
with the deference due to her princely sta-
tion and the kindness claimed by her mis-
fortunes. The queen remained at Working
ton until removed by ELIZABETH, first to
Cockermouth Castle and then to Carlisle.
The apartment in which her majesty slept
bears still the name of the "Queen's Cham-
ber." Sir Henry m. first, Mary, daughter
of Sir Nicholas Fairfax, and had a son
NICHOLAS, his successor. He wedded, se-
condly, Jane Crosby, and had
George, who d. s. p.

sons,
DARCY, who had

subsequently his cousin, HEN-
RY CURWEN, esq. of Working-
ton, when he became repre-
sentative of the family.
Sir Henry, who represented Cumberland in
parliament, in the 6th of EDWARD VI. and
1st ELIZABETH, was s. at his decease in the
35th of the latter reign, by his eldest son,
SIR NICHOLAS CURWEN, of Workington,
M.P. for Cumberland, who wedded, first,
Anne, daughter of Sir Simon Musgrave, but
had no issue. He m. secondly, Elizabeth,
daughter of Judge Carus, and dying 2nd of
JAMES I. left a son and successor,
SIR HENRY CURWEN, of Workington, M.P.
for Cumberland in the 18th of JAMES I. This
gentleman espoused first, Catherine, daugh-
ter and co-heir of Sir John Dalston, and had
two sons, PATRICK, his heir, and Thomas.
He m. secondly, Miss Margaret Wharton,
THOMAS CURWEN, esq. of Workington, at
whose decease, unmarried, 25th CHARLES
II. the estates passed to his half brother,
ELDRED CURWEN, esq. of Workington,
who died the next year, and was s. by his
son,
HENRY CURWEN, esq. of Workington.
This gentleman dying without issue, his
branch of the family expired, when the
estates and representation reverted to his
cousin, (refer to descendants of Sir Henry
Curwen by his second wife, Jane Crosby,)
Eldred CURWEN, esq. who thus became
"of Workington." Mr. Curwen served the
office of sheriff for Cumberland in the 3rd of
GEORGE II., and represented Cockermouth
in parliament. He died in the 18th of the
same reign, and was s. by his son,
HENRY CURWEN, esq. of Workington.
This gentleman who was returned to parlia-
ment by the city of Carlisle, in 1762, stood
for the county of Cumberland at the general
election in 1768, and after an unprecedented
contest was placed at the head* of the poll,
by a considerable majority. Mr. Curwen
espoused the daughter of William Gale, esq.
of Whitehaven, and had an only daughter
and heiress,
ISABELLA CURWEN, who m. JOHN CHRIS-
TIAN, esq. of Unerigg Hall, and con-
veying to him the lands of the Cur-
wens, he assumed, in 1790, their
surname and arms, and thus became
JOHN CHRISTIAN-CURWEN, esq. of Work-
ington. Mr. Christian had been married
previously to Miss Taubman, of the Isle of
Man, who left at her decease an only son,
JOHN CHRISTIAN, esq. of Unerigg Hall, one
of the Dempsters of that island. By the
heiress of the Curwens (his second wife) he
had issue,

Lineage.
This family, styled by Camden in his
Brittania "the honorable and ancient house
of Tyrwhitts, knts.," has been seated for
several centuries in the north of England.
The first person of the name of whom we
ave any certain account is a SIR HERCULUS,
who is said (on the authority of the Vincent
and Harleian MSS.) to have been knighted
and settled in Northumberland 2nd WILLIAM
I. Himself, or his son, bearing the same
name, married a daughter of Sir Thomas
Scargill, knt. and was living A.D. 1109, 10th
HENRY I. This Sir Hercules is stated to
have thus acquired the surname of TYR-
WHITT. Severely wounded in defending a
bridge, single handed, against numerous as-
sailants, at the moment he had succeeded
in forcing them to retire, he fell exhausted
amongst the flags and rushes of an adjoining
swamp, while the attention of his party, who
in the interim had rallied, was fortunately
directed to the spot where he lay by a flock
of lapwings (or as called in some counties
tyrwhits) screaming and hovering above, as
is customary with those birds when disturbed
in the vicinity of their nests. Camden, how-
ever, in his Remains derives the name from
the place so called. The son of Sir Her-
cules
|
SIR ROBERT TYRWHITT, was Lord of Tyr-
whitt and Assancke, in Northumberland.
He wedded a daughter of Sir John Wither-
ington, and from this marriage descended,
through a line of progenitors who allied
with the Umfravilles, Lowthers, Harbottles,
Ogles, Vauxes, of Gillesland, Nevilles, &c.
ROBERT TYRWHITT, grandson of Sir Oliver,
who was grandson of Sir Hercules. This
gentleman, who is described (Harl. MSS.
810) as "Robertus Tyrwhit arm de Ketilby,
com. Linc. ac Tyrwhitt com. Northumbria,'
is mentioned in several of the MSS. some-
times as of Tyrwhitt and at others as of
Ketilby. He m. Anne, daughter of William
Wycliffe, esq. of Wycliffe, a (sister or cousin
of the celebrated John Wycliffe, who was
succeeded in the mastership of Baliol Col-
lege, Oxford, by Thomas Tyrwhitt, a cadet
of the family,) and had two sons,
THOMAS, of Tyrwhitt, who m. a daugh-
ter of Alan de Boisterick, and was
ancestor of the Tyrwhitts, of North-
umberland.
WILLIAM (Sir).
The second son,
SIR WILLIAM TYRWHITT, of Ketilby, in
the county of Lincoln, is described in the
Harleian MSS. No. 1550, as "Primarius

ter and heiress of John Grovale, esq. of
Harpswell, in Lincolnshire, and had (with
a daughter, Cecilia, who wedded Sir William
Newport, knt. and became, after her hus-
band's death, abbess of Ipswich) a son and
successor,
(6
SIR ROBERT TYRWHITT, knt. of Ketilby,
who was one of the judges of the court of
King's Bench, in the reigns of HENRY IV.,
V., and VI.; his patents, four in number,
are dated 8th HENRY IV., 1st HENRY V.,
1st HENRY VI., and may be found in
Calendarium Patentium, Turri Londinensi.
He is named among the "Tireurs des Peti-
cions" to parliament either for England or
Gascony and Aquitaine, for every parliament
between 9th Henry IV. and 7th Henry VI.
That the boldness of the feudal chief, how-
ever, strongly predominated in the character
of this learned functionary over the meek-
ness of the Christian judge, appears too evi-
dent by the following curious extract from
Cotton's Records. 13 HENRY IV., Wil-
liam Lord Rosse, of Famlake, complayneth
against Robert Tirwhitt, one of the justices
of the King's Bench, for withholding from
him the manor of Molton Rosse, in Lin-
colnshire, and laying wait for the sayd Lord
Rosse with the number of 500 men. Sir
Robert Tirwhitt before the kynge confesseth
his fault and craveth pardon, and offeringe
to stand to by order of two lords of the
kindred of the sayd Lord Rosse as they
should choose, whereunto the kynge agreed,
and the sayd Lord Rosse chose the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury and the Lord Grey,
chamberlaine to the kynge, who made alonge
award leaving the right of common of pas-
ture in Wragby in com. Linc. to the deter-
mination of Sir William Gascoigne, chief-
justice, and it was enjoigned to the said Sir
Robert Tirwhitt that at a day certaine he
shod repair at Molton Rosse 2 tunnes of
Gascoigne wyne, 2 fatt oxen, and 12 fatt
sheepes, and offer reparation. And that he
should bring together all knights, esquires,
and yeomen, that were of his own, and that
they shod all confess their fault and crave
pardon, and further offer to the sayd Lord
Rosse 500 markes in money, and that the
sayde Lorde Rosse should refuse the money,
graunt him pardon, and take his dinner
only." The whole of the proceedings in
this matter, from their commencement by
the petition of William Lord Roos to the
award of the arbitrators above mentioned,
are recorded at great length in the rolls of
parliament 13 Henry IV. The details are
very curious and throw much light on the
manners of that day. The award is an ob-
ject of particular interest to the philological
antiquarian, as being almost the earliest
This feud between the families of Rosse
(or Roos) and Tyrwhitt continued up to the
time of JAMES I. who on the occasion of
several lives being lost on both sides in a
casual rencontre during a hunting_party,
caused a gallows to be erected at Molton
Rosse, near Belvoir, declaring that he
would hang the first like offender on it.
This gallows is said to be renewed from
time to time, up to the present day, when-
ever it falls into decay.* Sir Robert had
issue,
WILLIAM (Sir), his heir.

ter and heiress of Sir Rolleston,

in the county of Lincoln, founded the hos-

* About this period the BEVERLEY branch of
the TYRWHITTS, descended from Adam Tyrwhitt,
second son of Brian Tyrwhitt, of Tyrwhitt, and in
the fourth degree from Sir Hercules, became Ex-
TINCT, the great part of their possessions in the
counties of York and Lincoln devolving on the
Tyrwhitts of Ketilby. A WILLIAM TYRWHITT,
of this branch, afterwards Sir William, who mar-
ried a daughter of John Lord Lumley, was at
Agincourt, with three archers; he was son of
Robert Tyrwhitt, of Beverley, who died 6th Jan-
uary, 1427, two years before his contemporary,
Sir Robert Tyrwhitt, of Ketilby. It appears too
that soon after the first Sir William Tyrwhite
described as "Primarius Justicianus Angliae,"
settled at Ketilby, that the lordship of Tyrwhitt,
in Northumberland, was usurped by a prior of the
order of Knights Hospitallers of St. John, of
Jerusalem; it shortly after came into the posses-
sion of the Ogles, who were connected with the
Tyrwhitts.

for that purpose, he raised 1500 men

English and Scottish forces, his suc-
cessor, the duke of Saxe Weimar,

desire appointed to the command of

year, a few days before the battle of
Lutzen, he was taken prisoner by
the imperialists whilst on a recon-

was thus debarred from sharing the
honours of that fatal day. He es-
caped after the action. In 1642 he

crown on several important occasions, and enjoyed the
rank of major in the militia. Having succeeded to the
estates of his ancestors, upon the demise of his cousin,
Thomas Westby, esq. of Rawcliffe, in 1829, he re-
signed soon after into the hands of his majesty's secretary
of state for the Colonies the civil appointments he then
held of Clerk of the Supreme and Lower Courts, and
keeper of the records in Honduras.

Lineage
The family of WESTBYE, or WESTBIE,
now written WESTBY, is one of those
ancient catholic houses still numerous in
Lancashire, which, through good and bad
repute, adhered to the faith of their fore-
fathers.
The Westbys were originally from York-
shire, but had a settlement in Lancashire
prior to the conquest, and are of Saxon
descent.
In the general survey, the township and
lands of Westby are distinctly set forth, as
then existing in the hundred of Amounder-
ness, in the north western part of Lanca-
shire. All these lands were once held under
the great Saxon chief, TOSTI, the brother of
Harold, afterwards by Roger de Poictou
the Norman, and are now in the possession
of J. Clifton, esq. of Lytham.
The WESTBYs have, at various periods,
held lands at Mowbreck, near Kirkham.
Bourn, in Poulton, Much Urswick, in
Furness, in Alston, Balderston Thorton,
Thornton Stanoe, and Great and Little Ec-
cleston, in the county of Lancaster, and at
Westby, near Gisbourn, in Yorkshire, but
they have been deprived of the greater por-
tion of these broad and fertile domains, by
religious persecutions, and for their active
zeal in support of the ill fated house of Stuart.
In 1233,
GILBERT WESTBYE was sheriff of Lanca-
shire from him descended
WILLIAM WESTBIE, esq. of Westbie, in
the county of York, living temp. HENRY
VII. who was father of
WILLIAM WESTBIE, esq. of Westbie, who
in 1553, when a muster of soldiers was made
in the county palatine of Lancaster, and
when the hundred of Amounderness fur-
nished three hundred men to her majesty,
was appointed one of the commanders. He
m. a daughter of Regmaiden of Wideacre,
and was s. by his son,
JOHN WESTBYE, of Westbye, who was
granted, in the 2nd of ELIZABETH, a crest by
a curious patent, which sets forth at some
length, the origin of armorial bearings,
heralds and officers of arms, and states that
John Westbye had long been "in noble-
ness bearing arms." This gentleman seems
to have been a bold and stirring man, for
when ELIZABETH found that the reforma-
tion had rather retrograded than advanced in
598
WESTBY, OF MOWBRECK AND RAWCLIFFE.
Lancashire, and that her commissioners, with
the bishop of the diocese at their head, made
but small progress in the work, her majesty,
in 1567, issued a royal reproof to the bishop
in her usual style of decision, reminding him
of his duty, and requiring his vigilant per-
formance inforcing a conformity to common
It appears by his lordship's
prayer, &c.
reply, that the mandate of the haughty
queen, when applied to this John Westbye,
was treated with scorn and contempt, in-
stead of the submission and thanks with
which it had been received by many, and
his name was sent up to the council as one
not unlikely to promote resistance, and who
would willingly lose blood in those matters.
Nevertheless, a few years after, when the
nation's strength was called out for the
general welfare, this John appears to have
arrayed himself and furnished the queen
with his quota oflight horse, coate plate, pyke,
long bowes, shaffs of arrows, steel caps, and
other armour. (Subsequently to this period,
a further patent or certificate was granted by
the college of arms, temp. JAMES II., setting
forth that" this family were gentlemen of
blood and coat armour, and lineally de-
scended from the principal male branch of
the ancient family of Westbye, of Westbye,
in Yorkshire, and that since their coming
into Lancashire, they had matched with
some of the chiefest families of the county,
and their pedigree and arms are registered
in the visitation of Yorkshire in 1584, and
three several visitations of Lancashire made
in 1613 and 1665.") This John Westby es-
poused Ellyn, daughter of Kirby, of Řaw-
cliffe, in the county of Lancaster, and had
one son and two daughters, viz.
THOMAS, his heir.
Mary, m. to Thomas Hesketh, son and
heir of Hugh Hesketh, esq. of the
Maynes.
Ellyn, m. to Robert Molyneux, esq.
of the Wood.
The only son and heir,
THOMAS WESTBY, esq. styled in the pedi-
gree "of Mouldbury, or Mowbreck," alien-
ated in 1610, all the Westby lands in Much
Urswick within Furness, by granting leases
for 1000 years, on the compliance of most
eccentric observances and dues, which are
still paid, and at something like pepper corn
rents. He m. twice, first, Perpetua, daugh-
ter of Edward Norris, esq. of Speke, in
Lancashire, and secondly, Elizabeth, daugh-
ter of Thomas Preston, esq. of Holkar. By
the first he had, with three daughters, five
sons, viz.

phew, Thomas, with remainder to his
half-brothers, George and Robert.

but the Yorkshire property
never having been diverted
by any deed from that pre-
scribed by lineal descent in
the heirs male, consequently
passed to the then existing
eldest male descendant of
George Westby, of Raw-
cliffe, eldest son of Thomas
Westby, of Mowbreck, by
his second marriage.
By his second wife, Elizabeth, daughter of
Thomas Preston, esq. of Holkar, he had five
sons and a daughter,

Thomas Westby, (the elder) of Mowbreck,
having purchased, temp. CHARLES I., Raw-
cliffe (now White) Hall, from the Kirby
family, settled that estate on his eldest son
by his second marriage,
GEORGE WESTBY, esq. of Rawcliffe, who
attained the rank of major in the army.
The family had taken, with the Kirbys and
others, too active a part in the misfortunes
of their unhappy sovereign not to feel the
pressure of his enemies, and their estates of
Rawcliffe were seized by the parliament,
and in September, 1653, were sold by the
commissioners, as being forfeited for trea-
son to the state. They were repurchased
by friends, but as the Westbys were catho-
lics and labouring under the then tyrannical
disabilities regarding the tenure of land, the
titles were taken in the name of Protestants,
and by repeated transfers thus secured. It
was not until many years after that Major
Westby was known to be the real owner of
these estates. He wedded, first, about the
year 1650, Margaret, daughter of Thomas
Hesketh, esq. of Mayne, in Lancashire, and
had one son,
JOHN, his heir.
He m. secondly, a lady named Rosomond,

MORAY, OF ABERCAIRNY.
MORAY, JAMES, esq. of Abercairny, in the county of Perth, a justice of the
peace and deputy-lieutenant for that shire, formerly captain of the 15th Dragoons,
and afterwards lieutenant-colonel of the Perthshire Local Militia, espoused Elizabeth,
daughter of General Sir William Erskine, bart. of Torrie. He succeeded to the estates
at the decease of his father in 1810.
Lineage.
The great house of MORAY, or MURRAY,
whose acknowledged chieftainship is now
vested in ABERCAIRNY, derives from
FRESKINE, a Fleming, who settled in
Scotland during the reign of DAVID I., and
acquired from that monarch the lands of
Strathbrock, in the county of Linlithgow.
"Soon after the insurrection of the Moray-
men in 1130," says Chalmers, "Freskine,
who probably contributed by his skill and
bravery to the subduement of those ancient
people, obtained from the same prince some
of the most fertile districts of the Lowlands
of MORAY," including Duffies, Inshkiel,
Rosile, &c., and erected a fortalice at
Duffies, where he resided, and where the
massy ruins of the castle are still to be seen.
Freskine was s. in 1158, by his only son,
WILLIAM DE MORAVIA, as appears from
a charter, granted under the great seal, by
WILLIAM the Lion, "Willielmo, filio Fres-
kini, scilicet terras quas Freskine, pater
suus, tenuit, tempore regis David avi mei."
He left two sons, namely,

WILLIAM, his heir.
Hugh, who obtained from his father the
lands of Duffus.
He had a son,
Walter, who is frequently mistaken
for Walter, the son of William. He
is witness to a charter in the chartu-
lary of Moray, in which there is
a donation made to the church of
Spynie, and is designed" Domino
Waltero de Moravia, filio quondam
Hugonis de Moravia."
The elder son and heir,
WILLIAM DE MORAVIA, according to nu-
merous grants and other deeds, in the ar-
chives of the episcopal see of Moray, s. his
father in 1200, in those records he is de-
scribed “Willielmus filius Willielmi filii
Friskini." He subsequently made a dona-
tion to the church of Spynie, as appears by
a charter in the chartulary of Moray, where-
in he states that "Hugone, fratre meo," is
a witness. He seems to have wedded the
daughter and heiress of David de Olifard,
justiciary of Loudoun, in the reign of ALEX-
NDER II., to have acquired by her the
620
MORAY, OF ABERCAIRNY.
lands of BOTHWELL, and to have had a
son and heir,
WALTER DE MORAVIA, who succeeded his
father in 1226, and was the first of this
family designed by the title of " Bothwell."
In a deed in the chartulary of Moray, this
Walter is stated to be the son of William,
and in a charter of confirmation granted by
ALEXANDER II. anno 1248, and by another
deed, in 1253, it is evident that David de
Olifard was the successor of Walter de
Olifard, and the ancestor of Walter de Mo-
ravia, which two deeds are taken from the
chartularly of Glasgow, and are in the pos-
session of the family of Panmure.
·
Walter de Moravia wedded a daughter
of Duncan, earl of Fife, and had two sons,
WILLIAM and ANDREW, by the elder of
whom,
SIR WILLIAM DE MORAVIA, Dominus de
Bothwell, he was succeeded in 1284. He
died, however, without issue, in 1293, and
was s. by his brother,
The second son,
SIR WILLIAM MORAY, obtained the barony
of DRUMSARGARD, from his uncle, Sir Wil-
liam, and we find him frequently designed
by that title, in his father's lifetime. In
1290, his name appears amongst the signa-
tures of a great portion of the Scottish
nobles, affixed to a letter to EDWARD I.
concerning a marriage between Queen
MARGARET of Scotland, and Prince EDWARD
of England, and in 1296, he took the oath
of fealty to the English monarch. Sir
William died in about four years after, and
was s. by his son,
SIR JOHN MORAY, designed in many
authentic writs, Dominus de Drumsargard,
a personage of great influence at the period
in which he lived. He wedded in 1299,
the Lady Mary, only daughter of Malise,
sixth earl of Strathern, by whom he ac-
quired the lands of ABERCAIRNY, Ogilvie,
&c. and had issue,
MAURICE (Sir,)
successive pro-
ALEXANDER (Sir), prietors.
Walter, to whom his brother, Sir Alex-
ander, gave the lands of Drumsar-
gard, by charter under the great seal
dated 13th November, 1375. He
was ancestor of the MORAYS, of
Ogilface, a family now extinct.
}
SIR ANDREW MORAY, of Bothwell, who
is styled Sir William's son, by Crawfurd,
but erroneously, as appears from the last
clause in Sir Williams' mortification of the
church of Wallyston, to the see of Glasgow,
in which Andrew appends his seal to the
deed, as his brother's presumptive heir,
Sigillum nostrum apposiumus," saith Sir Sir John Moray dying in the early part of
William, "et sigillum Domini Andrea | the fourteenth century, was s. by his eldest
Moravia, fratris nostri, apponi procuravi- son,
mus." Sir Andrew Moray, who was joint
governor of the kingdom, distinguished
himself as the associate of WALLACE, when
that illustrious patriot reared the standard
of national independence. He m. a daughter
of Sir John Cumin, Lord of Badenach, and
falling at the battle of Stirling, left issue,
1. ANDREW (Sir), who succeeded at
Bothwell. He espoused the Lady
Christian Bruce, sister of King
ROBERT I. of Scotland, and had two
sons,
of
JOHN, successively lords
THOMAS, Bothwell. The elder
dying without issue, and the
younger, Thomas, leaving an
only daughter and heiress, JEAN,
m. to Archibald, Lord of Gallo-
way, afterwards Earl of Douglas,
the representation of the family
devolved on the posterity of
WILLIAM MORAY, of Drumsar-
gard.
II. WILLIAM, of Drumsargard.
* Besides WALTER, his heir, this William had
other sons, " who," continues Chalmers, "propo-
gated the name of MORAY, by founding other
houses, one of which was the MURRAYS, of Tulli-
bardine, now represented by the duke of Athol."
SIR MAURICE MORAY, of Drumsargard,
a bold and steady adherent of DAVID
BRUCE, who obtained in 1343, from that
monarch, a charter of the EARLDOM of
STRATHERN, to himself and the heirs male
of his body. His lordship married a daugh-
ter of Thomas Randolph, earl of Moray,
but had no issue. Accompanying King
DAVID on his unfortunate expedition into
England, the earl was slain at the battle of
Durham in 1346, when the title of Stra-
thern reverted to the crown, while the
estates and representation of the family
devolved on his brother,
SIR ALEXANDER MORAY, who was re-
turned heir to his paternal inheritance in
1349. In 1366, at the decease of Thomas,
Jast lord of Bothwell, without male issue,
Sir Alexander claimed as next heir male,
the succession to his estates, but the lord of
Galloway having wedded, as before stated,
the daughter and heiress of the deceased
lord of Bothwell, had obtained full posses-
sion. "The power of the Douglasses," says
the Baronage, "being then very great, Sir
Alexander found it impossible for him to
get justice in the ordinary courts of Judica-
ture: Yea, their influence was then so
universal that he could not get lawyers to
plead his cause. This is fully instructed
by the following contract; Sir Alexander

The contract is dated at Perth, 20th Novem- Court of Strathern. He wedded Catherine,

Sir Robert Douglas, "which is very ho- sister to William, first earl of Montrose, by
nourable to the family, being narrated at whom he left a son and heir,
full length in Crawfurd's Peerage, page 42,
to that we refer our readers. But the Lord
Galloway having taken every measure to
secure himself in that possession, his interest
with the king being very great, and the
authority and power of the Douglasses being
considerable over the whole kingdom; it
never was in Sir Alexander's power to
recover his just right to the lordship of
Bothwell, and being determined to live no
longer in that part of the country, where
he thought he had been so ill used, he gave
the lands and barony of Drumsargard to
his brother, Walter, and retired to Perth-
shire, where he had an opulent fortune."
Sir Alexander Moray being subsequently
implicated in the slaughter of one Spalding,
was necessitated to plead the privilege of
the clan Macduff,* which he obtained ac-

Northumberland, was returned in 1554 to

in favour with the former queen, for we
find her Majesty addressing to him in

to have been located on an estate called

of Carmarthen, prior to the reign of ELIZA-
BETH. The estates was possessed in 1579,
by

morganshire, and was succeeded by his son,

maur, born in 1612, who m. Margaret Bowen,
of Marchoglwyn, in the parish of Llanon,and

treardd, in the parish of Llanelly, Carmar-

Lineage.
This branch of the ancient family of Fe-
therstonhaugh,* of Up Park, in Sussex, and
of Newcastle, in the county of Northumber-
land, migrated to Ireland in the reign of
CHARLES I. and acquired large grants of
land in several counties.

of the late Sir Richard Steele, bart. of
Hampstead, in the county of Dublin, and
had issue,
THOMAS-JAMES, his heir, the PRESENT
PROPRIEtor.
* The family is of Saxon origin, and was seated
at Fetherston, in Northumberland, before the
CONQUEST; that part of the county having been
allotted to its progenitor, a Saxon officer, for his
gallant conduct against the Britons.
The surname is said to be thus derived :-the
house in which the family resided was formerly
upon a hill (where were two stones, called fether
stones), and was moated round as a barrier against
the Scots; but, upon being destroyed, a new edifice
was erected in the holme or valley under the hill,
which valley was locally denominated a haugh,
and thence the appellation of "Fetherstonhaugh."

Lineage.
This family boasts of Saxon blood, and
claims distinction for a full century at least
before the conquest.
ROHAND, the first of the Saxon Earls of
Warwick, temp. ALFRED, the Great, left an
only daughter and heiress,
FELICIA, who espoused GUY, son of Si-
ward, Lord of Wallingford, and conveying
the earldom to her husband he became
GUY, EARL OF WARWICK, "the memory
of whom, (saith Dugdale) for his great va-
lour, hath ever since been, and yet is so
famous, that the vulgar are of opinion that
he was a man of more than ordinary stature,
and the Welsh, taking notice of his brave
exploits, will needs have him to be descended
from British parentage." The achievements
of this chivalrous earl, true or fabulous,
are so generally known, that it is almost
unnecessary to refer to Dugdale's Warwick-
shire, in which they are fully set forth.
Guy died in 927, and was s. by his son,
•
REYNBURN, Earl of Warwick, who es-
poused,
"the beautiful Lady Leonetta,
daughter of King ATHELSTAN," and was s.
by his son,
WEGENT, Earl of Warwick, a man re-
nowned for his personal valour, and mar-
tial prowess. He was a benefactor to the
monastery of Eversham, and was s. by his
son,
UFA, Earl of Warwick. This nobleman
who was distinguished for piety, granted in
974, with the consent of King EDGAR, the
whole village of Whitlarford to the monks
of Eversham. He died about the beginning
of the reign of EDWARD, the Martyr, and
was s. by his son,
WOLGEAT, Earl of Warwick, who, Dug-
dale states, was deprived of his lands and
honors, "for his wicked courses and op-
pressions." His hereditary successor, was
WIGOD, who married the sister of Earl
Leofrick, and was s. by his son,
ALWYNE, who in the general survey, is
"The reason
styled, Alwinus Vicecomes.
whereof," observes Dugdale, "I conceive
to be either, because that he did exercise
the power and authority of the Earle of
Mercia, (scil. Earl Leofrike, his uncle)
here in Warwickshire as his ancestors had
done, for which respect he and they have
been reputed earls, as I have already
showed, and have ranckt them in that
degree; or else that he hath the custody of
the county to the king's immediate use."
Alwine left issue,
TURCHILL DE WARWICK, whose name
stands likewise in the catalogue of earls.
This nobleman, a man of great power and
note, was lord of vast landed possessions,
at the time of the CONQUEST, as appears by
the general survey. He married two wives,
and had issue* by both :-by the first, three
sons, viz.

SIWARD.
Peter, a monk in the Abbey of Thorney.
Ralph.
By the second Leverunia, one son,
OSBERT, for whose descendants, see
Bracebridge, of Atherstone, p. 270.
The eldest son,
SIWARD DE ARDEN, witnessed in the time
of HENRY I. several grants made by Geffrey
de Clinton, on endowing Kenilworth priory,
and he was himself a benefactor to the
monks of Thorney in Cambridgeshire, by
presenting them with his mill at Riton, and
other lands in the county of Warwick.
his wife Cecilia he left two sons, HUGH and
HENRY; the elder
By
HUGH DE ARDEN, inherited the estates,
and made munificent benefactions to the
church. Dying s. p. he was s. by his brother,
HENRY DE ARDEN, who in the 12th HENRY
II., was certified as holding five knights' fees
of William, then Earl of Warwick. He
had issue,
I. THOMAS, his heir, who was one of
those assembled at the tournament of
Blith, in Nottinghamshire, against
the royal prohibition; for which act
of disobedience his lands were seized

the 7th of HENRY III. He wedded
Eustachia, widow of Savaricus de
Malaleone, a Poictovin, and dying
before the 17th of HENRY III. was
s. by his son,
SIR THOMAS de Arden, of Curd-
worth, who being taken prisoner
at Evesham, fighting under the
banner of the Barons, was forced
to dispose of his vast landed pro-
perty.
11. William.
From the second son,
WILLIAM DE ARDEN, lineally descended
SIR JOHN DE ARDEN, knt. who resided at
his manor of Pedimore, in the time of ED-
WARD III. leaving, at his decease, an only
surviving daughter, Rose, the wife of Thomas
Pakeson; he was s. by his brother,
SIR HENRY DE ARDEN, knt. who appears
to have been the first of the family seated
at PARK HALL, in Warwickshire," for in
his time, (writes Dugdale) scil. 47 EDWARD
III. did Sir John de Botetourt, Lord of Weo-
legh Castle, not only confirm the same to
him, with the appurtenances lying in Castle
Bromwich, but released all the services by
which he held the same, reserving only a
red rose to be yearly paid to himself, and
his heirs, on the feast day of the nativity of
St. John the Baptist, for all services and
demands whatsoever." This Sir Henry de
Arden subsequently represented the county
of Warwick in parliament, and in the 5th
of RICHARD II. we find him joined in com-
mission with the Earl of Warwick, and other
persons of note to put down the rebellion
then raging in that shire. The year pre-
viously he had a release from his niece
Rose, the daughter and heir of Sir John de
Arden, of all her interest in the manor of
Pedimore, and in the lands of Curdworth,
Sutton, &c. &c. He was s. at his decease
by his son,
SIR RALPH DE ARDEN, who attended the
Earl of Warwick to the siege of Calais with
one lance and two archers. He d. in the
8th of HENRY V. leaving a son and heir,
ROBERT DE ARDEN, then eight years of
age, and in ward to Joan Beauchamp, lady
of Bergavenny. He was afterwards one of
the chief gentlemen of Warwickshire, and
was sheriff of that county, and of the county
of Leicester, in the 16th of HENRY VI. In
the war of the Roses he arrayed himself
under the banner of York, and in one of
the reverses of his party suffered death and
attainder. He had m. Elizabeth, daughter

s. by his son,
WALTER ARDEN, who m. Eleanor, daugh-

17th HENRY VII. left a son and successor,
JOHN ARDEN, of Park Hall, one of
the esquires of the body to King HENRY
VII. This gentleman m. Alice, daughter
of Richard Bracebrigg, esq. of Kingsbury,
"but concerning this marriage," says Dug-
dale, "there arose no small difference be-
twixt the parents on each side: Walter
Arden (the father) alleging that said Richard
and his servants had stolen away his son;
howbeit, at length by a reference to Sir Si-
mon Mountfort, knt. of Colshill, and Sir
Richard Bingham, the judge, it was deter-
mined that the marriage should be solem-
nized betwixt them, in February, 13th ED-
WARD IV. and in consideration of two hun-
dred marks portion, a convenient jointure
settled: as also that for the trespasse done
by the same Richard Bracebrigge, in so
taking away the young gentleman, he should
give to the before specified Walter Arden
the best horse that could be chosen in
Kingsbury Park." John Arden d. in the
17th HENRY VIII. and was s. by his son,

wedded Maria, daughter of Thomas An-

(36th HENRY VIII.) leaving by his
wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Edward
Conway, esq. a son and heir,
EDWARD ARDEN, esq. who suc-
ceeded his grandfather at Park
Hall. This gentleman having
incurred the hostility of the Earl
of Leicester was prosecuted,
through the means of that noble-
man, with great rigour and vio-
lence for high treason, and being
executed and attainted, his for-
feited estates were granted to

Lineage.
This very ancient family, which, accord-
ing to tradition, was seated at Swettenham
long antecedent to the Conquest, and had a
confirmation of the estate, temp. WILLIAM
Rufus, to the then Saxon possessor, derives
its surname from a compound of two Saxon
words, Sweet, pleasant or agreeable, and
Ham, a dwelling-place or village; words
that aptly describe the situation of the
manor.

Lineage.
"The Dundasses," says Lord Wood-
houselee, in the transactions of the Royal
Society, are descended of a family to
which the historian and the genealogist
have assigned an origin of high antiquity
and splendour, but which has been still
more remarkable for producing a series of
men eminently distinguished for their public
services in the highest offices in Scotland.
If the pride of ancestry is ever allowable,
it is where those ancestors have adorned
the stations which they filled by that genuine |
merit, which independently of rank, must
have entitled them to the respect and esteem
of their fellow citizens."
The DUNDASSES are generally believed to
have sprung from the DUNBARS, Earls of
March, who derived themselves from the
Saxon Princes of England.
COSPATRIC, first Earl of March, died in
1139, leaving two sons, viz. Cospatric, the
second earl, and
UTHRED, living in the time of DAVID I.
who obtained from Waldeve, his father's
elder brother, the lands and barony of Dun-
dass, in West Lothian. His son,
HELIAS, had a confirmation of the lands
of Dundas, in the reign of King DAVID, and
assumed therefrom, in conformity of the
then prevailing custom, his name and desig-
nation, while to denote his alliance with the
old Earls of March, he adopted for his ar-
morial bearings the ensigns of those lords,
differing, as a mark of cadency, in the
colours only. He was s. in the beginning
of the reign of WILLIAM, the Lion, by his
son,
SERLE DE DUNDAS, who is frequently
mentioned in the affairs of Scotland, temp.
King WILLIAM. He died early in the next
reign, and was s. by his son,
HELIAS DE DUNDAS, father of
RADULPHUS DE DUNDAS, whose name ap-
pears prefixed as witness to a charter
DUNDAS, OF DUNDAS.

whereby ALEXANDER II. confirmed a dona- | espousing the interests of his father-in-law
tion of Richard Baird, to the monastery of
Kelso. He was succeeded by his son,
SAER DE DUNDAS, who swore allegiance
to EDWARD of ENGLAND, in 1296. He died
before the year 1300, leaving a son and
heir,
Sir Hugh de DUNDAS, one of the gallant
adherents of the GREAT but ill-fated WIL-
LIAM WALLACE, to whose cause, and that of
Scotland, he never forfeited his fidelity,
but fought with unshaken fortitude to the
last. His son and successor,
Sir George de DUNDAS, equally firm to
ROBERT BRUCE, fell at the battle of Duplin,
in 1332, and was s. by his son,
James de DuNDAS. This laird having a
violent contest with the Abbot of Dunfirm-
line, regarding the right to certain islands
in the Forth, incurred the highest censure
of the church, and was excommunicated.
He lived however to adjust the dispute, and
to have the anathema_removed. He died
before 1364, and was s. by his son,
JOHN DE DUNDAS, who obtained from
DAVID II. a charter, dated 18th February,
1364, of the lands and barony of Fingask.
He left at his decease, a daughter Agnes, m.
to Sir Adam Forrester, of Corstorphin, and
a son,
JAMES DUNDAS, of Dundas, who occurs
in numerous charters from 1378 to 1439.
He m. first, a lady whose name and family
are not recorded. By her he had three

III. Duncan, LORD LYON. This Dun-
can Duncas, a man of much note in
his day, was frequently employed in
embassies to England, and ever dis-
charged his duty with integrity and
honour. He acquired from his family
the barony of Newliston, and founded
the branch of Dundas of that place.

Innermeath and Lorn, and had further

less before the year 1452, as appears by a
remission from King JAMES, quondam

by his brother,
SIR ARCHIBALD DUNDAS, of Dundas. This
laird obtained charters from King JAMES
III. of the lands and barony of Bothkener,
and of the lands and barony of Blairmucks.
He was high in favour at Court, and had
several confidential embassies entrusted to
him. Some short period before the king's
decease, Dundas received a letter from his
Majesty, announcing the royal intention of
ccnferring upon him the Earldom of Forth,
but the monarch's unexpected death in
battle, prevented the fulfilment of the pro-
mise. He obtained however, from JAMES
IV. in 1491, a grant of the island of Inch-
garvie, with liberty to build and fortify a
castle thereon, with numerous and impor-
tant privileges attached. He died within a
short time afterwards, and was s. by his
son,

article Špens Destignots, Lords of Destig-
nots and St. Germain, (a branch of Spens,
of Lathallan, descendants of the house of
the great Macduff, Thane of Fife,) on the
authority of documents in the archives of
the Senescalliat des Lannes, names the
Cassagnes, as "Lords de Montagu," and of
Bonthon, and calls them "6 a family of dis-
tinction in the province of Bearne," anterior
to the year 1509, at which period we find
them, according to the same historian,
forming alliances with some of the most
ancient of the French Noblesse, and es-
pecially with the house of Spens.
STEPHEN CASSAN, of Montpelier, born in
1659, passed at the revocation of the edict
of Nantes, into Holland, and in 1689, being
then an officer in the foreign brigade, com-
manded by Schomberg, went to Ireland,
where, in 1692, he married, as appears by
the records in Ulster's Office, Elizabeth,
daughter and sole heiress of Joseph Shef-
field, esq. of Navestock, in Essex, and of
Cappoly, (since called Sheffield, to mark
the descent of the Cassans from the Shef-
fields) in the Queen's county, and in con-
sequence of this alliance, the family of
Cassan, by authority and license from
Ulster, now quarter the armorial insignia of
the ancient houses of St. Liz, Sheffield, and
Greene, (see families of Sheffield and St.
Lyz, at foot.) Stephen Cassan died 1750-1,
aged 92, seised of all the estates which had

Appleyard (who espoused, secondly, 12th

MARVEL," says a writer in the Gentleman's
Magazine, "was an honest republican: he ad-
hered to the principles under which he had en-
tered upon public life, and with stern pride of
heart, and probably ardent hopes of a restoration
of the commonwealth, he retained an uncompro-
mising attachment to his cherished theories of
government. In addition he was a wit and a
satirist; a spirit that prided itself in exemption
from the prevalent corruption and popular follies,
because these follies and that corruption formed
the butts against whic L it was his delight to exer-
cise the keen shafs of his wit, his irony, and his
ridicule." Andrew Marvell was born in 1620 at
Hull, and educated at Trinity College, Cambridge.
He subsequently travelled to Rome, where he
first associated with Milton, who thus describes
his accomplishments in a letter to "the honour-
able the Lord Bradshawe," dated Feb. 1652-3.
He hath spent four years abroad in Holland,
France, Italy, and Spain, to very great purpose
as I believe and the gaineing of those four lan-
guages; besides, he is a scholler, and well read in
the Latin and Greek authors; and no doubt of an
approved conversation, for he comes now lately
out of the house of the Lord Fairfax, who was
generall, where he was entrusted to give some
instructions in the languages to the lady his
daughter." In 1657 Marvel was appointed assis-
tant Latin secretary to the PROTECTOR, Milton
being his superior in that office; and in 1658 or
1659 he was first elected to parliament as one of
the burgesses for his native town, which he con-
tinued to represent for nearly twenty years, until
his death in 1678. His attendance in parliament
was unusually assiduous; and he maintained a
correspondence with his constituents almost every
post, which is said to be the last instance of that
valuable relation between representatives and elec-
tors. It has also been said that he was the last
representative who received wages from his con-
stituents. For interesting particulars of this un-
bending senator refer to "DOVE's Life of MAR-
VEL."

ROCHE, OF LIMERICK.
ROCHE, GEORGE, esq. of Granagh Castle, in the county of Kilkenny. This
gentleman, who claims the ancient Irish peerage of FERMOY, inherited the estates and
representation of the Roches of Limerick, at the decease of his brother, in 1825.
Lineage.
The family of ROCHE OF LIMERICK, has
branched from that of Castletown-Roche, in
the county of Cork.
JOHN ROCHE, of Castletown-Roche,* de-
scended from the Viscounts Fermoy, was a
member of the Catholic Parliament or
Council held at Kilkenny during the civil
wars, and his name appears as such to the
declaration of the Irish Roman Catholics in
1641. His eldest son,
ROBERT ROCHE, espoused Juliana O'
Moore, daughter of Alexander O'Moore,
of Ballina, in the county of Kildare,† and
was s. by his eldest son,
STEPHEN ROCHE, known by the designa-
tion of Dov, or Black, from his complexion,
* For the ROCHE FAMILY generally, see NICHOL's
Rudiments of Honor, 8vo. 1726, article FERMOY,
where its descent from the sovereign houses of
Europe is deduced.
+ Of a very ancient family, and allied by inter-
marriage with that of the Earls of Kildare. Alex-
ander Ŏ'Moore was next brother to the celebrated
RORY OF ROGER O'MOORE, who, according to
Hume, was one of the chief promoters of the re-
bellion of 1641, but acquitted by the same his-
torian of any participation in the massacre of that
year. His birth, influence, and talents are placed
a very conspicuous light by Doctor Lingard;
see also HUME, and Warner's History of the Irish |
Rebellion, (4to. 1767) page 25, where it is stated
that the popular adjuration at the time was
"God-Our Lady and Roger O'Moore Lelp us!"
in
whose estate, already injured by compo-
sition in the time of CROMWELL, was entirely
forfeited under WILLIAM III. Compelled
in consequence to leave the county of Cork,
he retired to Kilrush, in Clare, and after-
wards took up his abode at Pallas, in the
county of Limerick, in the vicinity of his
brother-in-law, William Apjohn, esq. He

Thomas Lysaght, esq.‡ (the other co-heir,
Catherine, was the wife of Mr. Apjohn) and

Anne, youngest daughter of Philip Stac-
pole, esq. of Mountcashell (the fee of
which estate is now in Thomas Roche, esq.)
Kilneen, and Kilcoman, in the county of
Clare, (by his wife, Christian, daughter of
John Creagh, of Ballyvolane, in the same
shire, colonel in the Irish army, anno 1642),

This gentleman in his passage to England,
on his route to the University of Oxford, during
the short war of 1665, was captured by a French
privateer, and carried into France, where he be-
came a convert to the Roman Catholic religion.
Incurring thus the displeasure of his father, he
was disinherited, and the estate of the family left
by that gentleman to a younger son, the grand-
father of the first Lord Lisle (of Ireland).
§ Philip Stacpole was son of James Stacpole
and Christian, daughter of Denis M'Mahon, of
Clonagh, one of the most ancient families of
Clare. Three of Philip Stacpole's brothers fell
at the battle of Aughrim, fighting under the ban-
ner of their legitimate sovereign, JAMES II. He
died himself in 1714, aged seventy years, after
serving as high sheriff for the county of Clare,
being the last Roman Catholic, prior to the
penal laws, who filled that office.
The present
Earl of Limerick enjoys some of the estates of this
family, acquired by the marriage of his ancestor
with a co-heiress of the Stacpoles.

* In the year 1724, this Doctor Ankettle was
a student of medicine at Paris, when John Fitz-
gibbon, father of the Lord Chancellor Fitzgibbon,
Earl of Clare, visited that capital to pursue a
course, not of divinity, as Sir Jonah Barrington
states, but of medicine. Young Fitzgibbon im-
mediately sought his townsman, who was allowed
a day to show Paris to his friend, and both tra-
versed the city accordingly in all directions. At
length they stopped at a late hour to visit the ca-
thedral of NOTRE DAME, in the immediate vicinity
of their college; and exhausted with fatigue, fell
so soundly asleep on the benches of the choir, as
to escape the sexton's closing the church at night.
It was past midnight when the youths awoke,
and finding themselves thus immured, touched in
their groping about the bell-rope, and soon made
the great chimes resound to the no small amaze-
ment of the worthy sexton, and alarm of the
good city of Paris. They were, of course, quietly
liberated. John Fitzgibbon subsequently relin-
quished his medical studies, and was called to the
Irish bar in 1732, when he successfully laid the
foundation of his prosperous house.

RODDAM, OF RODDAM.
RODDAM, WILLIAM, esq. of Roddam Hall, in the county of Northumberland,
b. 4th January, 1793. This gentleman, who is the fourth son of Walter Spencer
Stanhope, esq. of Cannon Hall, in Yorkshire, inherited the estates of his kinsman and
godfather, Admiral ROBERT RODDAM, under the will of that gallant officer, at his
decease in 1806, and assumed, in consequence, the surname and arms of RODDAM.
Lineage.
This family, ranking amongst the most
ancient in the British dominions, is still re-
sident upon lands granted to their Saxon
progenitors, in a very curious charter from
King ATHELSTANE :

I Konig Athelstane
giffis heir to Paulane
Odiham and Roddam
als gude and als fair
als ever ye mine ware
and yair to witness Maud my wife.
A charter particularly and circumstantially
noticed by MAJOR, in his Chronicles of Eng-
land and Scotland, who describes an irrup-
tion of the English into that kingdom, temp.
RICHARD II. when the monasteries of Mel-
ros, Driburg, Newbottel, and Edinburgh,
were burnt; and then states, that, after the
departure of the invaders, Robert Stewart,
Earl of Fife, second son of the King of
Scotland, with James, Earl of Douglas, and
Archibald, Earl of Galway, at the head of
thirty thousand men, made reprisal by eu-

RODDAM, OF RODDAM.
tering England by Solway Frith, wasting | Selbys; the Brandlings of Gosforth; the
the rich and fertile lands, and carrying Forsters of Etherston; the Lisles of Felton
away abundant spoil. In the course of the Swinburnes of Ethingham; and other emi-
foray this ancient deed was discovered and nent northern families.
brought to the Scots commander, Robert,
Duke of Albany, subsequently Regent of
Scotland; who, whenever he afterwards
heard of long charters and other similar
writings, was wont to say, that in former
times there was more probity, when our
ancestors were unaccustomed to such minute
prolixity in their conveyances; and sup-
ported his opinion by reciting from memory
these letters patent of King ATHELSTANE.
Notwithstanding Roddam lies at a great
distance from that part of England which
the Scotch ravaged at their first entrance
by Solway Frith; yet it is most likely that
a detachment entered Northumberland at
the same time (as was customary on such
invasions), and finding the writing in ques-
tion, brought it to Robert, while his head
quarters were in Cumberland or Westmor-
land. It is a well-known fact that ATHEL-
STANE won a great victory* over the Scots
and Danes in the country near Roddam,
where he commanded in person, so that he
probably rewarded Pauline's good services
by this grant on the spot.
The following passage is to be found in
Leland's Collectanea, vol. ii. p. 571. anno
1351.
• Gilbert Rodam having fifty-three
glayves with him, and eighty archers, fought
with Reynald de Gulion, Capitaine of
Parys, near Stampes (now Etampes, in Nor-
mandy), that had seven hundred men of
armes and four hundred brigantes with him.
Gilbert was slayen there; yet the English-
man had the victory, and Reynald was there
taken prisoner; but he, by the help of a
false Englishman, was convayied or ever he
had payid his rannsom.
"
Leland's Itinerary, written in the time of
HENRY VIII. (vol. v. p. 93.) states that
"The Roddams, or Rudhams, were men of
fair landes in Northumbrelande, about Tylle
river, ontyl one of them having to wife one
of the Umfraville daughters, killed a man
of name, and thereby lost the principale of
eight hundred markes by yere; so that at
this time Roddam, or otherwise Rudham,
of Northumbrelande, is but a man of mene
landes."
The greater part of the original estate
was certainly forfeited during the sway of
the Norman kings, but the lands of RODDAM,
named in the grant of Athelstane, descended
to the late ADMIRAL RODDAM, through an
uninterrupted line of ancestors, intermar-
rying with the Greys of Chillingham; the
* Mentioned likewise by MAJOR.

ton, of Houghton, in the county of North-

At this period, being on a cruize off His-
tinued by his brother,
paniola, on the 16th March, early in the
morning, plying off Cape Cabroon, the
Greenwich fell in with four French line of
battle ships, two frigates, and a store ship,
which the officers and crew of the Green-
wich all fully supposed and asserted were
merchantmen convoyed by two frigates;
but Captain Roddam entertained a different
opinion, and, though late, convinced his
ship's company of their mistake, as those
vessels proved to be the Tonnant, of 84
guns, commanded by Admiral Bofromont;
Diadem, 74, Captain Rosele; L'Eveille, of
the Desauncene, of 74, Captain Blonal; the
64, Captain Merville; Inflexible, of 64, and
the Savage and Le Bronne, frigates, with a
twenty gun storeship. This squadron being
to windward dispatched one of the frigates
ceiving, and seeing no possibility of effecting
to reconnoitre, which Captain Roddam per-
his own escape, endeavoured to draw to the
Greenwich. That ship being painted after
the manner of the French, he hoped to decoy
the frigate, and he had already prepared a
boarding party, determined if he succeeded
to dispatch her immediately to Admiral
Townshend, at Jamaica, with intelligence of
the number and situation of the enemy; but
the Frenchman, discovering the Greenwich
to be a two-decked ship, made all sail to
rejoin the squadron. The Diadem first began
firing at nine o'clock, and from that hour
until nine at night the Greenwich was in-
cessantly assailed by one or other of the
fleet. Čaptain Roddam again prepared to
board the L'Eveille, a 64, being the best
sailing ship; but several of the enemy re-
newing the action at the same time, the
Greenwich became so much injured in her
rigging, and in consequence so unmanage-
able that he was compelled to abandon the
idea. He then called his ship's company
together, and told them he had done all in
his power to preserve his majesty's ship,
but if any of them could point out the French
admiral's ship, the Tonnant, he thought the
Greenwich could yet divert her an hour or
two. The officers and the whole ship's
company answered, "They must obey their
captain, but they had been unceasingly shot
at for twelve hours, and supported an action
they believed longer than any ship had ever
before sustained." Captain Roddam struck
his colours in consequence, but, even after
doing so, resisted what he deemed a dis-
honorable condition on the part of his con-
queror. The French ship, L'Eveille, hailed
the English captain to hoist out a boat, and
to go on board the 64, which he repeatedly
ROBERT RODDAM, esq. then an officer of
rank in the royal navy. This gallant sea-
man entered the service as a midshipman
on board the Lowestoffe in the year 1735-6;
in which capacity he subsequently served
in the Russell, Cumberland, and Boyne,
and was upon the Antigue station with
Captain Drummond, of the Lowestoffe, more
than five years. On the 3rd November,
1741, he was made third lieutenant on board
the Superb in Cumberland Harbour, from
which the next year he was removed to the
Monmouth. In 1744 he was appointed
second lieutenant, and in two years after-
wards promoted to the command of the
Viper, sloop of war. About this time Lord
Anson (then Mr. Anson), one of the lords
of the Admiralty, went to Portsmouth to
command the western squadron, and ex-
pressing a strong wish to all the captains to
stop a fleet at that time lying at Portsmouth,
they urged the impracticability of the un-
dertaking in a high south wind, and stated
many other concurring obstacles. Mr.
Roddam, the youngest captain, however,
instantly undertook to try the possibility of
stopping them, though his sloop, being just
off the stocks, was in every way incomplete;
and he eventually performed the arduous
duty with so much steadiness, that Lord
Anson wrote directly to the lords of the

BECKFORD, OF FONTHILL.
(79
This gentleman has long been distinguished by a refined taste in architecture, and the
possession of great literary powers: of the former, the magnificent seat of Fonthill was
a splendid though fragile testimonial-of the latter, the CALIPH VATHEK, written
originally in the French language, will remain an imperishable record.
*
Mr. Beckford, who represented the city of Wells, and subsequently the borough of
Hindon, in several parliaments, inherited the estates upon the demise of his father, in
1770.
Lineage.
The family of BECKFORD appears to have
been of Saxon origin. It was, at an early
period of our history, settled in Gloucester-
shire; deriving its patronymic from, or
giving name to, the parish of Beckford, or
Beceford, in that county. It occurs, fre-
quently, in the public records, amongst the
benefactors to abbies and other religious
houses, and has also been distinguished in
our warlike annals.
After the conquest of Jamaica in 1656,
Colonel PETER BECKFORD, son of Peter
Beckford, esq. who was brother to Sir
Thomas Beckford, rose, by his singular
ability in military and civil affairs, to the
highest stations in that colony. Having,
during the reign of CHARLES II., filled the
important office of president of the council,
he was, by WILLIAM III., appointed lieu-
tenant-governor and commander-in-chief of
the island. He died in 1710, possessed of
immense wealth; and amongst his imme-
diate descendants are the following repre-
sentatives of noble houses, viz. in the direct
male line, Beckford, now Pitt, Baron
Rivers and in the female line, Ellis, Baron
Seaford; Ellis, Baron Howard de Walden;
Courtenay, presumptive heir to the earldom
of Devon; and Carleton, Baron Dor-
chester.
Colonel Beckford left two sons, namely,
1. PETER, of whom presently.
II. Thomas, who had issue,

VATHEK (says Lord Byron) was one of the
tales I had a very early admiration of. For cor-
rectness of costume, beauty of description, and
power of imagination, it far surpasses all European
imitations, and bears such marks of originality
that those who have visited the East will find
some difficulty in believing it to be more than a
translation. As an Eastern tale, even Rasselas
must bow before it; his "Happy Valley" will not
bear a comparison with the " Hall of Eblis."

Most Gracious Sovereign,
Will your Majesty be pleased so far to conde-
scend to permit the mayor of your loyal city of
Mr. Alderman Beckford had by the said
Maria Hamilton, an only child and heir, the
present WILLIAM BECKFORD, esq.
London, to declare in your presence on behalf of
his fellow citizens how much the bare apprehen-
sion of your Majesty's displeasure would at all
times affect their minds; the declaration of that
displeasure has already filled them with inexpres-
sible anxiety and with the deepest affliction.
Permit me, sire, to assure your Majesty, that your
Majesty has not in all your dominions any sub-
jects more faithful, more dutiful, or more affection-
ate to your Majesty's person and family, or more
ready to sacrifice their lives and fortunes in the
maintenance of the true honour and dignity of
your crown.
We do then with the greatest
humility and submission most earnestly suppli-
cate your Majesty, that your Majesty will not
dismiss us from your presence without expressing
a more favoured opinion of your faithful citizens,
and without some comfort, without some prospect
at least of redress.
Permit us, sire, further to observe, that who-
deavour by false insinuations and suggestions to
ever has already dared, or shall hereafter en-
alienate
jects in general, and from the city of London in
your Majesty's affections from your sub-
and regard for your people, is an enemy to your
particular, and to withdraw your confidence in,
Majesty's person and family, a violator of the
public peace, and a betrayer of our happy con-
stitution as established at the glorious revo-
lution.

KNIGHTS OF THE ROYAL OAK.
From a MS. of
Gentlemen chosen by King CHARLES II. to be invested with the Order of the
Royal Oak, and the value of their respective estates, A.D. 1660.
PETER LE NEVE, Norroy.
This order of knighthood, projected by the restored monarch to perpetuate the loyalty of his faithful
adherents, was wisely abandoned, under the apprehension that it might perpetuate likewise dissensions
which were better consigned to oblivion.
