PREFACE.

In presenting the Third Volume of this Work, nothing remains for
the Author beyond again reiterating his acknowledgments of the
kind and liberal assistance which he continues to receive from his
literary contemporaries, as well as the courtesy universally accorded
him by those with whom he finds it necessary to communicate. The
Work upon which he is engaged would have been undertaken in
vain, by industry no matter how persevering, or exertion however
enterprizing, were it not for such important aid ; but in this free and
flourishing empire, every thing deemed of national usefulness is
secure of national protection.

ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS.

Denne of Kent and Sussex.

P. 20. Altliough several writers state
William Denne, the first of Denne
Hill, to be descended from Ralph de
Dene, the father of Ela, who married
Sir Jordan Sackville, yet the Dorset
Roll calls Ela co-heiress with her
sister or niece Sybella, and she is in
Collins and elsewhere mentioned as
co-heiress of her brother Robert.
The Dorset Roll also assigns a dif-
ferent coat of arms to Ralpli than
that borne by the Dennes of Denne
Hill.

P. 190, col. 2, 1. 6 from bottom, for
" the second son of Robert (by his
wife Dorothy), Thomas Corbett ac-
quired the estate of Nash," read " the
second son of Robert, Thomas Cor-
bett, acquired by his wife, Dorothy,
the estate of Nash."

Seymour of Castletown.

P. 202. It is there stated that SiR
Henry Seymour married Barbara,
daughter of Thomas Morgan, esq. of
Tredegar, a fact which admits of
doubt, if not of refutation. Collins
and Edmonson make Sir Henry to
marry Barbara Morgan, and so does
an inscription to the memory of Sir
John Seymour in Great Bedwin
Church, which in enumerating the
issue of " the worthie knight," says
tliat his second surviving son, "Sir
Henry Seymour, married Barbara,
daughter of ThoniasMorgan,Esquier."
Other authorities, however, of equal
credit, call the wife of Sir Henry,
" Barbara, daugliter of Morgan
Wolfe, esq." In a manuscript among
the Harleian collections. No. 1529,
occurs the following entry : " Hen-
ricus Seimor, Miles = Barbara, f.
Morgani Wolfe." This assertion is
repeated by Sir Richard Hoare, in
his History of South Wilts, thus:
"Sir Henry Seymour, knighted 1546
=Barbara, dau. to Morgan Wolfe."
And in the Herald's College, the fol-
lowing descent of Sir Henry's wife is
given : " Sir Henry Seymour, of
Marwell, com. Southampton, knight,
second son of Sir John Seymour, of
Wolf hall, by Margery Wentworth,
married Barbara, daughter of Mor-
gan Wolfe, by Gwenllian, daughter
and heir of John de Barri. Morgan
Wolfe was the son of Howell Wolfe,
the son of John Wolfe, esq. the son
of Sir William Wolfe, knt. by the
daugliter and co-heir of Sir Majo Le
Sore, of St. Fagans, by the daughter
and heir of Huntley."

Besides, in analysing the coat ar-
mour of Sir Henry which is set up on
the monument of his father in Great

Bcdwyn Cluudi, we liiid it to be as
follows: (ill. two wings conjoined
and inverted or, witli a crescent of

Moi!R, impaling quarterly ;

1. Arg. a fess between three mart-

4. Arg. on a chev. gu. between
three stags' heads caboshed so. three
bugle horns arg. stringed or, for Le
Sore, of St. Fagans, Glamorgan-
shire.

Thus the arras and the inscription
on the same monument disagree. It
should be observed that the said mo-
nument was erected by Edward, Earl
of Hertford, fifty-four years after the
death of Sir John, and twelve after
that of Sir Henry, on the occasion of
Sir .John's body being removed to
Bedwyn from the ruined church of
Easton Priory.

P. 244. col. 2, 1. 46, for " Mary, m. to

whose descendant is residing at
Lantarnam.

1. Mary Blewitt, ni. to .Joseph

Rees of Killymaenllwyd. — The follow-
ing is a more correct account of the descent
of this family than that at page 265.

Urien-Rheged, Prince of Rheged in
Wales, by birth a Cambro-Briton, was fifth
in descent from Coel Codevog, King of the
Britons. He built the castle of Carrey
Cermin, in Carmarthenshire, although the
erection of that edifice is ascribed by some
to no earlier a date than the time of Henry
I. The style of the architecture and the
authority of the Golden Grove MSS. seem,
however, to establish its ancient British con-
struction. Urien, who bore for arms arg. a
chev. sa. between three ravens ppr. sur-
mounted by a crown, m. the daughter of
Gwrlois, Duke of Cornwall, and was direct
ancestor of

• This Meredith Donne, or Dwn, was pater-
nally descended from Meiric, king of Dyved, who
was one of the four kings that bore the sword be-
fore King- Arthur at his coronation at Caerlleon
upon Usk. His descendant, Gryffith, from some
jealousy, so frequent among the \\ elsh chieftains,
and which facilitated the subjugation of the coun-
try, took part with Morris de Londres, in his
attack on Kidwelly, and was commander of the
army in the battle fought near that town against
Gwenlhan, wife of Griffith ab Rhys, Prince of
South Wales, wherein herself and two sons were
slain. The place where the battle was fought is
called Maes Gwenllian, or Gwenllian's Phiin, to
this day. Philip, the grandson of Griffith, how-
ever, seems to have taken a different course ; for he
fought a battle against the Anglo-Normans at a
place called Cragg-Cyrn, near Kidwelly, in which
he defeated tliem, and burnt that town. From
these Donnes was descended Donne of TyGwynne,
whose daughter Robert, brotlier to Hector Rees,
married.

GwYNFARDD Dyved, who lived about the
year 1038, temp. Edward the Confessor,
was direct ancestor of Daniel Hughes, but
the intervening line is too extended to be
inserted here. We must not, however,
omit, that it is mentioned in the Golden
Grove MSS. that one of Hughes's ances-
tors, " Howell Gawr was so surnamed for
his valour, having overthrown the French
king's champion (probably atChalons. where
Edward L held the field at a tournament
against all comers), and obtained for his
arms gu. a lion rampt. or, in a true love knot
arg. inter four delisses, their stnlks bending
towards the centre of the cscocheon of the

Trappes of NlDD.

P. 523, The following is the early de-
scent of the Trappes family.

ILiiifage.

The family of De Trappes, or De Trappe
as it is sometimes found written, possessed
in the beginning of the 13th century a castle
called Delle-Weige, on the borders of Ger-
many, near the Meuse, with a manor and
jurisdiction appertaining to the said castle,
which is proved by a verdict on the rolls of
the said court, anno Domini, 1352.

Severus De Trappe, of Delle Weige, be-
came a Carmelite, and gave to his order at
his profession a field called to this day " Pie
des Carmes," part of the manor of Delle
Weige, this Severus died anno 1314.

William De Trappes, knt. called Delle
Weige, bore arms, field argent, three cal-
trops sable (2 and 1), surmounted with a
crown, married Gertrude D'Ordingarne, of
a noble family, of the county of Cologne,
had issue, William de Trappes, Stephen de
Trappes, and Severus de Trappes. Stephen
de Trappes became a captain in the army of
Edward III. by whom he was, after his wars
in France, invited to accompany him to En-
gland, and from whom he received a grant
of lands in or near Theydonbois, in the
county of Essex, from whence has descended
the family of Trappes.

The original branch of this family was
still existent in the county of Liege, in the
beginning of the 18th century, and was then
allied to the family of Luxembourg.

Crawfurds of Scotland.
In support of the curious hypothesis re-
specting the origin of tlie Crawfurds, and
tiieir descent from the old Eari.s of Rich-
mond, given in vol. ii. p. xiv. we have to
add the following remarks ; to shew, first,
that Theobald, the reputed ancestor of the
Douglases, and Baldwin de Biggar, who
married the widow of the founder of the
Crawfurd family in Scotland, were settlers
in Yorkshire under the Earls of Richmond,
previous to tlieir removal to Scotland, to
which country they emigrated by following
the fortunes of Reginald, youngest son of
their patron Alan, fourth Earl of Richmond,
and acquired lands contiguous to his in
Strath Clyde and its vicinity : secondly, to
adduce the case of the Vaux arms, as illus-
trative of the fess heiny a mark of cadence
from the bend: and thirdly, to confirm the
preceding by the recorded relationship of
John le Scott (who was nearly allied to the
Earl of Richmond) with Galfridus de Craw-
furd in a charter quoted by George Craw-
furd.

On reference to Clarkson's History of
Richmond, compiled chiefly from Gale's
Register Honorum Richmondae, it appears
that a charter of Alan, fourth Earl of Rich-
mond, is witnessed in 1145, among others,
by Theobald and by Baldwin, and another
similar charter in the subsequent year by
Baldwin de Multon (Malton), in Richmond-
shire, the patrimony of the Earls of Rich-
mond. Baldwin would thus appear to have
been connected with the Earls of Richmond,
as holding lands under them, prior to tlie
appearance of the name in connexion with
Scottish record ; and, although the occur-
rence of even one of tliose uncommon names,
Theobald or Baldwin, on record in Eng-
land, at a period so immediately preceding-
its first appearance in Scotland, would lead
to infer the probable identity of the indi-
vidual bearing the appellation, that identity
may surely be assumed as resting upon suf-
ficient grounds when two individuals of such
remarkable cognominals (from the same
country) can thus be traced in mutual trans-
actions in both kingdoms. And if the con-
nexion thus apparent between Baldwin and
the Earl of Richmond can be shown to
have extended itself more intimately on the
part of Baldwin with the family of Craw-
furd, which, in ignorance of the present
adduced facts, we have already traced on

ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS.

entirely distinct <;rouiuls to those carls as its
source, tlio fact of the connexion here siiewii
between Baldwin and the Earl of Kicliniond,
j)rior to lialdwin's settling' in Seothind, is,
vvitli def(!renc(!, submitted as a singular cor-
roboration, as will afterwards appear, of
the correctness of our hypothesis, and in-
teresting in point of anticpiarian research.
But heraldry is the strong test that connects
Baldwin with both countries, through the
armorial bearings of his patron in the south,
and of his son-in-law (his patron's kinsman)
in the north.

Chalmers, in Ins Caledonia, under La-
narkshire, quotes a charter or grant of lands
to Theobald Fleviaticns (ancestor of the
Douglases), which is witnessed by Baldwin
dc Bigyar (this is IJaldwin and Theobald's
first appear.ance, as traced by Chalmers, in
Scotland), and by bis son-in-law, John de
Cravvfiird, inter 1147 and IIGO. He also
states that this Jolin, who is the first he bas
met with bearing the name of Crawfurd, is in
various cliarters styled Priviyni Baldwini.
It is thus manifest that tbe widow of the
remote ancestor and founder of the family
of Crawfurd in Scotland was married to
Baldwin, whose connexiov, as already exhi-
bited nith the Earl of' Richmond, affords
another sinynlar and almost conclusive evi-
dence as to the oriyin of the Jirst settler and
founder of the family of Crawfurd,

In our former statement we pointed out
the close similarity of the arms borne by
the Earls of Richmond and the Crawfurds,
and there observed that the ermine whether
carried in bend or fess is the same bearing,
the difference being merely a brotherly dis-
tinction. We might have added as an in-
stance in point, the existence of a similar
difTerence in the families of Vaux of Ti\yer-
main and of Catterlen, as mentioned by Sir
Walter Scott (see Notes to Triermain), and
as displayed on Lord Brougham's quarter-
ings of the arms of that family, where the
fess is substituted for the bend by Catterlen,
as representing a younger brother. A cele-
brated northern peerage writer, Crawfurd,
speaking of two separate branches of a
family carrying for distinction, one the bend
and the other the chevron, gives the prefer-
ence in precedency to the former ; remark-
ing, " that the chev. in heraldry generally
denotes a junior brand), " meaning of course
to the bend, of which he had been speaking,
and as is seen in above instances of the
fess.

Galfridus de Crawfurd is termed Kins-
man by John Le Scott, nephew to the king,
in a charter quoted by George Crawfurd,
along with his (John Le Scott's) two natural
brothers, where they are all styled fratribus;
which George Crawfurd, in ignorance of
any other probable connexion, and under
the impression that Galfridus must have

married one of flieir sisters, translafi s bro-
thers, no douiit the literal translation, uhich,
but for the recent discovciries, might never
have been < albd in ([uestion. It is, how-
ever, submitted that such interpietation
would have invalidated the deed, and that,
had it been int<>nded to describe them as
his brothers, the two latter would have been
styled fnilrihiis carnulibus (a desigtiaticjii
which in those days was not deemed oppro-
brious), an<l the former affino. Now f rater,
according to Ainswortb, means, besides bro-
ther, cousin-german and kinsman, in which
latter sense it is frequently used by the
classics, and in the Latin translations of the
sacred writings ; and tiiose deeds so fre-
quently penned by churchmen will at once
explain the sense intended, and the only
interpretation which the term " fratribus,"
as here used, will bear, namely kinsmen,
which term would exactly designate their
various connexion with him.

The absence of the double tressure in
the armorial bearinys of liis descendants, of
itself shows the erroneous interpretation
which George Crawfurd gave to the con-
nexion between the ancestor of the Craw-
furds and John Le Scott ; for had they been
thus descended, their ensiyns would, as it
invariably occurs in cases of descent from
the royal family of Scotland, have been so
augmented.

Chalmers mentions a Radolphl'S, styled
Any liens, as witness to a charter of Kiny
David, in 1 138, to the monks of Selkirk, at
the period of the removal of their monastery
to Kelso. Nisbet, Ragman's Roll, vol. ii.
p. 11, makes mention of Radolphus de
Crawforde, and remarks, " This is the
same person with Reginald de Crawfurd,
Viscomes de Air." If Radolphus and Regi-
nald be, as Nisbet considers them, synony-
mous, here then we have, in all probability,
the identical son of the Earl of Richmond,
whose establishment cannot be found in
England, but which all the above demon-
strate to have taken place in Scotland.

In conclusion, we will draw the parallel
of the present case with Chalmers's deduc-
tion of the House of Stewart, and shew that
the identity of the founder of the Crawfurds
in Scotland rests upon much better proof
than the limited grounds on which Chalmers
built a theory held as incontrovertible with
respect to the origin of that royal line.

The proof of the origin of the Stewart
family, as traced by Chalmers from the
family of F'itzalan, rests upon the record of
Walter, founder of the Abbey of Paisley,
towards the end of the twelfth century,
being styled in the charter of foundation
filius Alani, coupled with the circumstance
of his having peopled it by monks from a
religious institution at Wenlock in Shrop-
shire, where Alan, ancestor of the groat

fariiilv or Fitzalaii, afterwards tail of
Arundale, then resided. This (though the
proof of arms be wanting) was deemed com-
plete wlien the Earl of Arundel (who a
century or two afterwards accompanied Kin;i
EdwuId to Scotland) sold for a thousand
marks to his master his (so called) heredi-
tary rio-ht to tlie stewardship of Scotland,
thougli, as Chalmers shows, he could have
had iio hereditary right thereto.

In the present case there exists the ■proof
of arms, and the most unquestionable testi-
mony of their antiquity.* There is also,
through Baldwin, an analogous connexion
with the presumed root, similar to what was
indicated by the source from whence Walter
peopled his monastery ; rendering the points
of comparison parallel, if not absolutely in
favour of the present case.

Considering the impossibility, in either
instance, of further proof by charter, and
considering the remote antiquity ot the point
of connexion between those settlers and their
more southern ancestors, much it must be
allowed has in both cases beeu established ;
sufficient it is presumed, when held conclu-
sive in the one case, to confirm the other.

Sir Alexander was so zealous a partisan
against King Charles L, that he is styled by
an historian of the period " a main cove-

Urry, and was at the battle of Auldearn ;
but Montrose retaliated, by quartering him-
self and some of his troops at Birkenbog.

" It is a melancholy reflection," says Dr.
Borlase, " to look back on so many great
families who have formerly adorned the
county of Cornwall, and in the male line
are now no more; the Gkanvilles, the
Carminows, the Champernownes, the Bo-
drugans, Mohuns, Killegrews, Bevils, Tre-
vanions, which had great sway and posses-
sions in these parts. The most lasting fa-
milies have only their seasons, more or less,
of a certain constitutional strength. They
have their spring, and summer sunshine
glare, their wane, decline and death." The
Granvilles claim descent from Rollo, the
celebrated northern chieftain, who being
driven from Norway by the king of Den-
mark, made a descent upon England, but
was repulsed by Alfred. He was subse-
quently however more fortunate in a similar
attempt upon Normandy. Invading that
country in 870, he achieved its complete
conquest in 912, and was invested with»the
ducal dignity. He married Gilbette, daugh-
ter of Charles the Simple, King of France,
and had two sons. From the elder, Wil-
liam, descended the Conqueror, and from
Robert, the younger, created earl of Cor-
beil, sprang two brothers, Robert Fitzha-
mon, who reduced Glamorganshire, (be left
an only daughter, Mabel, the wife of Robert
de Courcil, natural son to Henry I.) and

Richard, surnamed de Granville from
one of his lordships, who came into England
with Duke William, and fought at Hastings.
This Richard, who, as heir male, inhe-
rited the Norman honours and estates, was
earl of Corbeil and baron of Thorigny and
Granville. He likewise possessed the castle
of Neath, in Glamorganshire. He jh. Con-
stance, only daughter of Walter Giflard,
earl of Buckinghamshire and Longueville,
and at his decease, in journeying to the
Holy Land, left a son and successor,

a knight's fee of the honour of Gloucester.
He was direct and lineal ancestor of

Sir Theobald Granville, who m. Joice,

Theobald Granville, who wedded Mar-
garet, daughter of Hugh Courtenay, earl of

nour of knighthood from Richard II. He

a gallant naval commander, who, at the age
of sixteen, by permission of Queen Eliza-
beth, served in the imperial army in Hun-
gary, and attained high reputation for his
achievements against the infidels. Return-
ing soon after to his native country, he
joined the troops employed for the reduc-
tion of Ireland, and, there acquiring the
confidence of the Lord Deputy Sydney, was
appointed sheriff of the city of Cork. In
1571, he represented the county of Corn-
wall in Parliament, was subsequently high
sheriff of that shire, and complimented with
tlie honour of knighthood, but the bias of
his mind, bent chiefly on the plans of fo-
reign discovery, proposed by his relative
Sir Walter Raleigh, preferred the enter-
prize of a naval, to the quiet of a senatorial
life. He accordingly, with a squadron fitted
out for the purpose, sailed for the coast of
Florida in 1585, where he left a colony of
one hundred men, and then returned home.
Many and successful were his subsequent
voyages, and in the memorable year of the

care of Cornwall, which prevented, for a
while, his distinction in a proper sphere of
action. In 1591, however. Sir Richard was
dispatched as vice admiral under Lord
Thomas Howard, with eight men of war,
besides small vessels and tenders, to inter-
cept a rich Spanish fleet from the West In-
dies. This convoy, protected by a very-
superior force, unexpectedly appearing,
Admiral Howard, considering the great dis-
proportion of the rival squadrons, imme-
diately put to sea, and the rest of his ships,
in some confusion, followed his example,
except the Revenge, the ship commanded
by Granville, who having ninety men sick
out of two hundred and fifty, and many
otiiers on shore, could not weigh anchor for
a considerable time, which prevented him
from gaining the wind, and brought the
hostile fleet on his weather bow. The
Spanish admiral, with four other ships, be-
gan a close attack at three in the afternoon :

notwithstanding their vast superiority of
force, were driven off fifteen times. At

ship reduced to ;i wreck, no hope oC escape
remained. Far, however, from thinkini;- of
a surrender. Sir Hichard exhorted his men
rather to yield tliemselves to the mercy of
heaven than to the Spaniards, and to blow
the vessel up. But this desif^ii was frus-
trated by tlie master, who went on board
the Sjianish Admiral and made known their
situation. As soon as tlu' Revenue was in
the power of the Spaniards, the admiral
gave orders to remove Sir Richard, wlio
was grievously wounded, to his own ship,
but the gallant officer survived only three
days. John Evelyn, relating this heroic
action, exclaims, " Than this what have we
more .' What can be greater ? ''

der of great celebrity. This gallant
soldier, who learned the rudiments
of war under Prince Maurice in Ger-
many, attended King Charles in his
expedition to Scotland, and was sub-
sequently employed in Ireland to
quell the rebellion there, having
under his orders his near kinsman,
the famous George Monk. On the
commencement of the civil war, he
proceeded to London in order to ol)-
tain some arrears due to him by the
Parliament, and having effected this,
he contrived, by amusing the Com-
mons with the hope that he would
accept the command of the horse
under Sir William Waller, to join
the king at Oxford with his whole
regiment, and he thenceforward ad-
vanced the royal cause, in an especial
degree, by his consummate skill and
chivalrous bravery. From Oxford,

Richard St. Leger, whose father was Sir James
St. Leger, and whose mother was Anne, eldest
daughter and co-heir of Thomas Butler, earl of
Ormond, by Eleanor, his wife, daughter of Hum-
phrey de Bohun, earl of Hereford, by the Lady
Elizabeth Plantagenet, his wife, daughter of King
Edward 1.

Sir Richard marched on Saltash,
which, with only seven hundred
men, he stormed and captured, hut
some differences having unfortu-
nately arisen between him and Cla-
rendon, he was removed from his
command. Retiring to Jersey, he

harassed the Hepublicans i)y sea.
He eventually fixed his residence in
France, and dying at Client, was in-

by his eldest son, the celebrated

Sir Bevil Granville, knt. of Stow and
Bideford, one of the boldest and most suc-
cessful of the cavalier leaders. This emi-
nent person was educated at Exeter Col-
lege, Oxford, and made so rapid a progress
in learning, that the degree of bachelor of
arts was conferred on him in 1613, when he
was but seventeen years of age. In the
two last Parliaments of James I. he repre-
sented the county of Cornwall, and in all
the Parliaments called by Chakle.s I. sate
either for that shire or for Launceston. In
1638, he raised, at his own expense, a troop
of horse, with which he accompanied the
king in his first expedition against the Scot-
tish rebels, and on that occasion received
the honour of knighthood. In 1642, on the
first outbreaking of the civil wars, he joined
the royal standard, and marching into Corn-
wall, rescued that whole county from the
Parliament, attacked the partisans of the
Commons, who had risen in great numbers
in the West, and routed them at Bodmin,
Launceston, and Stratton. His last and
most brilliant action was at Lansdowne Hill,
near Bath, where he lell, in the arms of
victory, on the 5th July, 16-13.* " On the
king's part," says Clarendon, in detailing
this engagement", " there were more officers
and gentlemen of quality slain than com-
mon men, and more hurt than slain. That

made the loss of others less spoken of, was
the death of Sir Bevil Granville : he was
indeed an excellent person, whose activity,
interest, and reputation, was the foundation
of what had been done in Cornwall ; and
his temper and affection so public, that no
accident which happened could make any
impression on him, and his example kept
others from taking anything ill, or at least
seeming to do so. In a word, a brighter
courage and a gentler disposition were never
mixed together to make the most cheerful
and innocent conversation."

b. 29th December, 1800, m. at Alva House, 23rd June,
1829, Elizabeth-Caroline, eldest daughter of James
Raymond Johnstone, esq. of Alva, in Clackmannanshire,
(grandson of Sir James Johnstone, hart, of Westerhall,
a family which, on the extinction of the male line of
the Marquesses of Annandale, became chief of the ancient
house of Johnstone,) by Mary his wife, sister of Sir
Montague Cholmeley, hart, of Easton, in the county of
Lincoln, an ancient branch of the great Cheshire family
of Cholmondeley. The issue of this marriage is a dau.
born at the baths of Baden-Baden, in Germany, on the
26th June, 1833, and christened there, according to the
rites of the Anglican church, on the 14th September,
in the same year, by the names of Caroline-Maria-
Agnes, to which has since been added the name of

ROBINA.

Mr. Hamilton Gray is a magistrate, and, since August, 1824, a deputy lieutenant
of the county of Lanark. He was educated at the universities of Gottingen and
Oxford, and in the latter he was of Magdalen College, where, in 1823, he took
his bachelor's, and, in 1826, his master of arts degree. In 1824, he was called to
the Scottish bar; in 1829, he entered into holy orders; and, in 1833, was presented
to the livings of Bolsover and Scarcliil, in the county of Derby, He succeeded his
father 12th November, 1833.

Uinrage.

This branch of the family of Gray has
possessed estates in the county of Lanark
for about thi*ee hundred years. Its ancestor,
who held the lands of Tollcross towards the
middle of tlie sixteenth century, had two
sons, John, his heir, and James, who was
bred to the law, and is said to have dis-
tressed his brother with litigation, which
necessitated a sale of the lands of Tollcross.
The elder son,

John Gray, of Tollcross, in Lanark-
shire, lived about the close of the sixteenth
century, and alienated the properly of Toll-
cross. The name of his wife is unknown.
He was father of

William Gray, proprietor of the lands of
Carntyne, in the county of Lanark, ante-
cedently to the year 1595, who m. first,
Margaret Craig, by whom he had a son,
Archibald, his heir. He wedded, secondly,
Marion, dau. of Ninian Hill, of Lambhill, in
Lanarkshire, and had another son, John,
successor to his brother. The Hills were
in possession of extensive estates more than
two centuries ago, part of which were ac-

quired by marriage with a daughter of the
family of Hutchinson.* Several most re-
spectable male descendants of the Hills, of
Lambhill, still exist, though what remains of
the property has passed, in the female line,
to Miss Lilias Graham, the present proprie-
trix. William Gray was s. by his eldest son,

Archibald Gray, of Carntyne, who es-
poused Elizabeth Colquhoun, daughter of
Colquhoun of Kenmure, a cadet of Col-
qulioun of Luss, chief of the name, but
having no issue, he resigned, in 1628, the
lands of Carntyne to his brother,

John Gray, who then became of Carn-
tyne. Exactly half a century after, in 1678,
he acquired part of the lands of Dalmar-
nock, another portion continuing in tlie
possession of the family of Woddrop, and
thenceforward, for more than a hundred
years, Dalmarnock became the principal
designation of his descendants. Mr. Gray

to be extinct in the direct male line, but
among its descendants may be mentioned
the lamented Sir Jolin Moore. John Gray
was succeeded, in 1687, by his son,

John Gray, of Dalmarnock and Carn-
tyne, who wedded Anabella, daughter of
Walter Gibson,* of Hillhead, in the county
of Lanark, and had issue,

John Gray died previous to the year 1715,
and was s. by his son,

John Gray, of Dalmarnock and Carn-
tyne. The mind of this gentleman being
strongly tinctured with sentiments of loyalty
to the exiled royal family, he openly avowed
himself a partisan of the Chevalier de St.
George, and prepared to join the insurgents
in 1715: — the arms which he procured on
that occasion are still preserved in the
family. He was saved, however, from open
rebellion and its probable consequence,

gave information against him, on account
of which he was imprisoned until the re-
storation of peace. He m. Elizabeth, dau.

commerce of Glasgow, of which city he was lord
provost in 1688. Another younger son was cap-

ing, without issue, in 1778, Mr. Gray was
s. by his next brother,

John Gray, of Dalmarnock and Carn-
tyne, born in 1715. This gentleman on his
accession found the estates heavily encum-
bered, and had only possessed them four
years when he was induced most unfor-
tunately to expose them for sale, in 1784.
At that period, the value of land being much
reduced, they brought a most inadequate
price, and thus the properties of Dalmar-
nock and Newlands, of yearly increasing
value, were lost to the family. Whatever
part of his once ample inheritance remained
was owing to the judicious management of
Mr. Gray's younger son, and ultimate suc-
cessor, John Gray, who w. Isabella, dau. of

gomery. He m. in 1799, Mary-Anne,
youngest daughter of Gabriel Hamilton, of
Westburn, (representative of Hamilton of
Torrance*) by Agnes his wife, daughter,
and at length heiress, of George Dundas,
esq. of Duddingstouu, in West Lothian,
(sprung from Dundas, of Dundas) by Mag-
dalen Lyndsay-Crawford, granddaughter of
John, sixteenth Earl of Crawfurd, and first
Earl of Lindsay, niece to James and Wil-
liam, first and second Dukes of Hamilton,
and sister to John, Viscount Garnock.
Mr. Gray had, by Mary-Anne his wife,
one son, John, his heir. Mrs. Gray died
6th January, 1809, her husband surviving
until tlie i2th November, 1833, when he
died suddenly, in the seventy- eighth
year of his age. His whole life was spent
in useful exertion, and in acts of disin-
terested benevolence. He was cool in
his judgment, unwearied in his kindness,
and viewed with unmoved serenity the
events of a life which various causes had
saddened. Though laboriously occupied in
the attempt to turn to good account the
wreck of his family estates, he never re-
fused his time and his exertions to the often
ungrateful task of aiding his relations and
friends ; and when full of years, and of
respect, he was removed from this world,
the unanimous voice of the poor pronounced
upon him the eulogium, — " We have now
lost our common good !" He was an active
magistrate, and, for nearly forty years, a
deputy lieutenant of the county of Lanark.
His only son and successor is the present
Rev. John Hamilton Gray, of Carntyne.

The family of Silverton Hill, (whence

lustrious house of Hamilton.

Sir Walter de Hamilton, Lord of Cad-
zow, in Lanark, in 1324, married Mary,
daughter of Adam, Lord Gordon, and had
two sons, David (Sir) and John (Sir), an-
cestors of the Hamiltons of Innerwick, and
Earls of Haddingtons. The elder

Ross, and had (with a younger son, Walter
(Sir), ancestor of the Hamiltons of Cambes-
keith and Grange) his successor,

Thomas, second son of Thomas Hamilton, of
Darngaber, by Helen his wife, daughter of Sir
Henry Douglas, of Lochleven, ancestor to the
Earl of Morton, which Thomas, of Darngaber,
was third son of Sir John Hamilton, Lord of

the Earls of Linlithgow. Their eldest son,
Sir James Hamilton, was created a peer,
by the title of Lord Hamilton, and married,
in 1474, Princess Mary, eldest daughter of
James, second King of Scotland. Their
second son.

Sir Alexander Hamilton, of Silverton
Hill, became ancestor of the Hamiltons of
Silverton Hill, Cubardy, Newton, and
Westport. The Hamiltons of Newton were
seated on a picturesque estate at the con-
fluence of the Clyde and Calder, in Lanark
shire, which now belongs, in consequence
of the will of the last heiress of the family,
to Sir James Montgomery, of Stobo Castle.
In 1694, the mansion house of Newton, to-
gether with the title deeds of the property
and family papers, was destroyed by fire,
which accident renders it difficult to trace
the earlier generations of this branch of the
house of Hamilton.

James Hamilton, of Newton, appears to
have held his estate under his chief; for,
immediately after the fire just alluded to,
he obtained a charter of Novodamus of his
lands from Anne, Duchess of Hamilton, the
then head of the family. He ni. first, Eli-
zabeth, daughter of Gabriel Hamilton,* of

ETTRICK, OF HIGH BARNES.

Mr. Ettrick succeeded his father on the 22nd February, 1808.

Uineage.

The first of this family on record,
Anthony Ettericke,* was of Barford,
or Berford, in the parish of Winborn Min-
ster and county of Dorset. He was born
about the year 1504, and was captain of
horse at the siege of Boulogne, when that
place surrendered in 1544 to Henry VIII.
Although this gallant person is the earliest
of his family in Dorsetshire, probably in
England ; and although of his ancestors or
even the place of his birth no memorials
remain, yet the station he filled in society
and the place of his abode after his return
from the French campaign prove that he was
a gentleman of consideration. When we
recollect the turbulent times which ushered
in the sixteenth century, the contempo-
raneous reigns of the eighth Henry of Eng-
land and the fifth James of Scotland, the
throes of the nascent reformation in both
countries, such an uncertainty regarding a
man of rank's origin will not be deemed sur-
prising, nor was it indeed an unusual course
to adopt as a matter of precaution, when a
man's bitterest foes were often to be found

History of Durham, probably on the authority of

HUTCIIINS.

within liis own household. The circum-
stance in the instance before us, however,
adds a degree of plausibility to the tradition
in the family descended from him, that he
v/as a younger son of the Earl of Dun-
barton, in Scotland, whose name was Doug-
las, and who enjoyed amongst his other
dignities the title of Lord Ettrick, but tliat
being implicated in some of the family
feuds, and the exterminating dissensions of
his times and country, he was under tlie
necessity of expatriating himself with tlie
greatest secrecy and expedition, unencum-
bered by aught save his good sword and
armorial ensigns. Seeking a secure asylum
in the land of his adoption, he selected the
most retired and the most remote part of
England ; and further to remove all identity
assumed the name of Ettrick, somewhat
altered too in the mode of spelling. Be the
narrative true or false, however, with him
commences the family line, as recorded in
the books of the Herald's College. He m.
Lucy, daughter of — Chettle, of Blandford
St. Mary's, in Dorsetshire, and dying about
1569, was s. by his son,

Anthony Ettricke, of Berford, who in.
Maud, daughter of Thomas Squibb, of
Shapwick, in Dorsctsliire, and dying in
1605, left a son and heir.

IG

ETTRICK, OF HIGH BARNES.

William Ettkicke, of Berford, b. in
ir)90, wi. Anne, daughter of William Willis,
of Pamphill, in the county of Dorset, and
had (with two daughters, one m. to — North-
over, of Somersetshire ; the other to Sir
William Cowthorp, of Ireland,) three sons,
namely,

1. Anthony, of Holt Lodge, in the
Forest, county of Dorset, b. in 1625,
M.P. for Christ Church, Hants, in
1685. This gentleman, who was
educated at Trinity College, Oxford,
under the worthy, but singular. Dr.
Kettle, was esteemed an excellent
antiquarian and lawyer, and was the
associate of the learned in his time.
He contributed the additions to Dor-
setshire in Gibson's Camden. He
died in 1703, and his remains were
deposited at Wimborn Minster in a
coffin painted with armorial ensigns,
clamped with iron, and inclosed
within iron railing, being deposited
under an arch excavated in the thick-
ness of the wall of the church, under
a window in the south aisle. In ac-
counting for this curious selection of
the place of his sepulture, Hutchins
states, that on some dispute with the
authorities of the place, Mr. Ettricke
had made a vow that he would not
be buried either in their church or
churchyard, and the matter was thus

most zealous supporters of the royal cause.
W'liile yet a student at Oxford, tlie troops
of the parliament were sent thither to purge
tlie university, "hen many were imprisoned
and some put to death, but Walter Ettrieke
liad the good fortune to efl'ect his escape,
and flying into Dorsetshire, his father i-ould
only sustain him secretly, not daring to re-
ceive openly a person so marked into his
family. When the dissensions of the times
subsided, he retired into the county palatine
of Durham, and settling there became the
founder of the third branch of the family.
He purchased the estate of High IJarnes, a
moiety of Barnes, formerly one of the ex-
tensive possessions of the family of Bowes,*
and he seems also to have been the first of
liis family who held a valuable leasehold
estate under tiie Bishops of Durham, eoni-
l)rising the feri'y boats, nieetage, and tolls
of Sunderland, for twenty-one years, renew-
able every seventh year, and which remained
in his descendants until an act of i)ar]iament
was obtained by Rouland Burdou, esq. of
Castle Eden, M.P. for the purpose of build-
ing- a bridge of cast iron over the river
Wear. Mr. Surtees makes mention of this
leasehold so far back as 1665, and of Walter
Ettricke negotiating with Bishop Cosins to
change it from years into lives ; the bishop,
liowever, declined to agree, apprehending
similar applications. Walter Ettricke was
some time collector of the customs at Stock-
ton, and afterwards at Sunderland. He
was register of the Court of Admiralty in
1G61. He m. in 1659, Margaret, daughter

* It appears, by existing; deeds, that the whole
of the mniior of Barnes and Hamelden (now called
Hnmillon Hill), with Pallion and Clowcroft, as
well as the tithe of com -and grain of Ryhope,
remained in the family of Bowes until the de-
cease, in 1()62, of \\'illiam Bowes, a minor, and
without issue. Tlie estate then descended to
liis cousin, JMai-y l5owes, who married William
Haddock, which gentleman sold, in 1668, the
moiety of Barnes, called Low Barnes, to John
Jenkins, sidjject to a moiety of the tithe, rent, or
modus payable to the church of Bishop Wear-
mouth, w-ith a title to one half of the pews and
burying ground within the church, belonging to
the wbole manor of Bai-nes. In 1673, \\ illiam
Ikdrlock conveyed the other moiety of Barres to
Walter Ettrick, esq. -with the other half of the
right of the pews and burying ground belonging
to the said manor, subject to a moiety of the modus
afores-aid. In these deeds a reeitnl is made of
the lease from the Bishop of Durham to \V alter

t This gentleman succeeded his father at High
Barnes, by a deed of settlement made upon his
second marriage in 1700. Owing to the disper-
sion of the property . of the Bowes' family, the
payments of the modus for the manor of Barnes
and its appurtenances had fallen into confusion,
and, in 1702, a suit w.is instituted in tlie court of
Exchequer bv Dr. Kobert Grev, the rector of
Bishopwearmouth, in which John Jenkins, An-
thony Ettrick, and others were made defendr.nts.
The aim of the suit was, not to invalidate the
antiquitv of the modus, but to obtain a higher sum
in the ))avment than had been latterly made hv
the parties concerned : the dispute was ferniinfited
bv establishing the ancient amount claimed bv
Dr. Grey, and a form of receipt to be given bv
the rectors was dictated by tha court in a decree
dated 11th December, 1702, of a modus of
.£14. 13s. 4d. for " all manner of tithes uhatsoever
nrising fro)n the lands and manor of Bar7i£f, icith
the appurtenances." Notwithstanding this decree
of the Exchequer, of No tithe dve of any kind

the land, but not from personal tithes. This de-
mand was of course not admissible, and how the
dispute was settled does not further appear, but
Dr. Smith died 30th July, 1715, and no such
tithe was ever paid, or even demanded by the
rectors who followed, Bowes, Laurence, Stilling-
fleet, Chandler, until the next, Dr. Henry Bland,
who entered in 1735, made, in 1767, a vigorous
effort to break through by a demand of " Easter
offerings, oblations and obventions," yet acknow-
ledging the ancient modus and its validity against
pra?dial tithes, but not to the exclusion of per-
sonal. The holy war raged in the courts for two
years and upwards, and ended as previously, no
such tithe having ever been paid before or since,
and a regular receipt for the amount of three years
suspended modus in the form prescribed being
now found in the bundle of receipts, signed
" Henry Bland," rector, 1769.

In the year 1708 Anthony Ettrick entered into
an engagement with the persons then entitled to
Mr. Jenkins' moiety of Barnes, for the purchase
thereof, on behalf of Lancelott Wardell, a quaker ;
and he therein agreed to convey to Mr. Wardell
"the site of the old mansion and other parts of
the property adjacent at Low Barnes," which had
belonged to his own moiety. By the same agree-
ment Wardell was exempted from his proportion
of the modus, which was then laid on High
Barnes ; and certain lands and the other moiety
of the pews and burving ground, with the portion
of the modus rent, issuing out of the lands of
Pallion, were conveved to Anthony Ettrick. Not-
withstanding all this, when the body of the late
owner of High Barnes, thus entitled to the whole
space of burving ground appropriated to both
moieties of Barnes, was to be buried, there re-
mained barely room for one coffin ! the rest having
been vaulted, and surrejititiously sold to another
family. Thus the splendid monument, destined
by the will of Mr. J^ttrick, to have been erected
on his burial ground, was of necessity withdrawn
from the church of Bishopweannouth.

William Ettrick acquired, by his marriage,
a considerable fortune, but following, with
too much zeal, the expensive taste of im-
provement, became involved in difficulties,
and found it necessary to recall from his
seafaring life, his eldest William, a gentle-
man of great prudence and activity, to
whom (six months previously to his decease
in 1752) he resigned the whole estate, and
who thereupon became

William Ettrick, esq. of High Barnes.
This gentleman, b. 14th May, 1726, passed
the early part of his life in the naval service
of his country, and, upon his retirement
from that profession to take possession of
his patrimony, became an active and highly
respected magistrate for the county of Dur-
ham. He enjoyed the estates for fifty-six
years, and, by his excellent management,

eighty-two, and was succeeded by his only
son, the present Rev. William Ettrick, of
High Barnes. By his last will, he left a
considerable sum to be expended on a
family memorial ; and, in consequence, a
beautiful cenotaph, which cost upwards of
£oOO, was erected by his son, at High
Barnes, with the following inscription, which
himself suggested :

ILincaac.

Tlie family of Farqi'hau has enjoyed
its present possessions, in Kyle Stewart,
for many generations. The first proprietor
on record,

RoBKRT Farquhar, must have been laird
of Gilmilnscroft, in the latter end of the
fourteenth century, for, in the commence-
ment of the fifteenth, anno 1 107, an infeft-
ment was granted by Agnes Wallace,
gudewife of (jilmilnscroft, and relict of
-Robert Fanpihar, to her son,

Aluxander Farquhar, of Gilmilnscroft,
who was s. by

Thomas Farquhar, of Gilmilnscroft, who
had a charter from Jamks I. king of Scot-
land, in which he is styled son of Alexan-
der Farquhar. He appears to have been
father of

John Farquhar, of Gilmilnscroft, who
had a charter in 1445, from the commenda-
tor of the abbey of Melrose, of the lands of
Castle Cavil. He wedded Margaret, dau.
of the laird of Barquharrie, and was proge-
nitor of

Alexander Farquhar, of Gilmilnscroft,
who married and had, with a daughter Ca-
therine, in. about the year 1546, to John
Hamilton, of Camskeith, a son and suc-
cessor,

Andrew Farquhar, of Gilmilnscroft,
who died in 1556. He was father of

Alexander Farquhar, of Gilmilnscroft,
who wedded, in 1586, a daughter of Charles
Campbell, of Glaisnock (of the Loudoun
family, in the deed of entail of Hugh, the
first Lord Loudoun, dated in 1613), by whom
lie left at his decease, in 1625, a son and
successor,

Robert Farquhar, of Gilmilnscroft. In
1641 Robert Farquhar of Gilmilnscroft, and
George Reid, of Daldilling, had a ratifica-
tion in parliament of the lands of Kyles-
niure, to themselves and remanent vassals ;
and in 1643 Farquhar was nominated by
parliament among the commissioners of the
county of Air, who " shall convein at the
burgh of Ayr, with the wholl heritoures,
lyferenteres, tacksmen, titulares, propper
wad-setteres, pensiouneres, conjunctfieres,
ladyterceres, and uthers, in order to assess
themselves towards a loan of the general
sum of 1,200,000 marks Scot; together
Avith 100,000 marks of like money, for col-
lecting the same over the kingdom at large,
for defraying the expense that had been in-
curred by the sending uf an army of 10,000
soldiers to Ireland to suppress the rebellion

there. Such have been the greate neces-
sities and wants of that airmie, als vveill of-
ficeres as souldieres, not only through de-
fault of their ordinarie pay, but also of vic-
tual in the spairest measure." The sum
ordered thus to be lent, for Ayrshire, was
£49,480. Scots ; also £7,068. for the more
immediate use of the army within the king-
dom. The first assessment or loan to be
repaid by the parliament of England.*
Robert Farquhar a])i)ears to have died some
time in the year 1646, and was s. by his
son,

Robert Farquhar, of Gilmilnscroft, who
under the designation of Guildmidscroft,
Younger, was appointed one of the com-
mittee of war for Ayrshire, for tiie further-
ing of the service of the kingdom, on the
11th February, 1646. He espoused, 22nd
September, 1651, Elizabeth, daughter of
James Ross, of Ballneill, in the county of
Wigton, and with her received 8000 marks
of tocher. The subscribing witnesses to the
marriage contract were Mr. James Dal-
rymple, of Stair ; John Macdowall, brother
to Sir James Macdowall, of Garthland ; and
Alexander Baillie, son to John Baillie. The
Mr. James Dalrymplef here mentioned was
subsequently raised to the peerage by the
title of Viscount Stair.

Gilmilnscroft appears to have died with-
out issue, for, in 1670,

Robert Farquhar, of Lightshaw (son of
Mungo Farquhar, and grandson of Far-
quhar of Gilmilnscroft) succeeded his cousin

* Robertson's Ayrshire.

+ James Dalrymple (Lord Stair), wedded
Margaret, the eldest daughter of Ross, of Ball-
neil, and was thus brother-in-law to Gilmilns-
croft. Of this Margaret, who was a most extra-
ordinary woman, many singular tales are told,
amongst others, the following is to be found in
Law's Memorial, " She lived to a great age, and
at her death desired that she might not be put
under ground, but that her coffin should stand
upright on one end of it, promising that while
she remained in that situation the Dalrymples
should continue to flourish. It is certain her
coffin stands upright in the aisle of the church
of Kirkleston, the binivd-place belonging to the
family ; and it is probable that this odd position
of her corpse, and the sudden rise of so many of
that name, without any verj' visible reason, might
have given occasion to the vulgar conjecture that
she was a witch." She is also thought to have
been tlie prototype of Lady Ashton, in the Bride
of Lammermoor, — " Oer trtie a tale."

Kobert Farquliar, flie preceding laird. This
tientleman, who lived in the reigns of
Charles II. and lus brother James, adhered
steadfastly to tlie principles of the cove-
nanters, yet conducted himself ivitii so much
prudence as to avoid the resentment of the
court, while he preserved the confidence of
his own party. The colours which were
borne by the JJalgain division at their dif-
ferent rencounters with their opponents,
were entrusted to his care in the intervals
of repose, and remained concealed in the
mansion of Gilmilnscroft until the revolu-
tion in 1688, when they were publicly ex-
hibited. At that time a new device was
added : a Scots thistle, surmounted with an
imperial crown, splendidly emblazoned in
blue, scarlet and gold, under wliich was
written in large golden letters, " For God,
the Covenant, Presbyterianism, Reforma-
tion, Crown, and Country. 1689." Tlie

.iFanuIy of <ffiraj).

This family derives from a common pro-
genitor with the extinct ducal houses of
Suffolk and Kent,* the baronial houses of
Gray and Warwick, and the existing houses
of Tankerville and Stamford, namely, from
Anschetel de Croy, one of the companions
in arms of the Conqueror. The Scottish
barons sprung immediately from the Greys
of Chillingham, in Northumberland. Of
those,

Andrew, third Lord Gray, living in
1564, married, for his second wife, the Lady
Elizabeth Stewart, sister, by the mother's
side, of James II. and had several sons.
The third,

Andrew Gray, of Muirton, was grand-
father of

Thomas Gray, of Brighouse, whose son,

Sir William Gray, of Pittendrum, was
one of the greatest merchants of his time in
Scotland. Adhering to the royal cause in
the civil wars, he was fined by the parlia-
ment of St. Andrews, for corresponding
with Montrose, in the sum of 100,000 marks,
and was imprisoned in Edinburgh Castle
until the penalty was modified to 36,000,
which he instantly paid. A loan of
£10,000. was subsequently extorted from
him, but never returned. Sir William did
not long survive these hardships, but died

It does not appear, from any records now
extant, at what period this ancient family
and chief of the name first acquired pro-
perty in Scotland. They were in posses-
sionof the estate previous to the year 1.377,
as shewn by a charter granted by Robert
n. -of Scotland, at Methven, in favour of
William de Newton, and his heirs, which
proceeds on resignation made in his ma-
jesty's hands as superior by Hobcrt de
Swinton, a cadet of tlie ancient house of
Swinton, of Swinton, with consent of Mar-
garet Newton his spouse, who was heiress
of Newton. How long William remained
in possession, or by whom succeeded, is
not distinctly ascertained. During the re-

MAY N1<.\VT()N, (JF NEWTON.

27

ji^eiicy of Robert, duke of Albany, there is
an Alexander de Newton named as witness
to a charter "granted l)y tliat iH)l)leniaii.

In \AM, on the '21th Sei)tenil)er, William
do Newton granted a charter of Mortifica-
tion of the annual rents of Artam, subjects
l)eloni;iii<j; to him situated within the i)ur};li
of Haddington, in favour of the (-ollegiate
church of Bothans, now Yester, " whieJi
for the salvation of his own soul, and the
soul of Marian his spouse, his an(;estors
and successors, and all faithful deceased
persons, he gave, granted, and confirmed
to God, and the Blessed Virgin Maiy, and
to Cuthbert provost of the collegiate church
of Bothans, and to the j)rebendaries of the
same, the most celebrated and for ever to
be celebrated for their divinity." By ac-
ceptance of this deed, the members of the
said collegiate church bound themselves to
say a certain number of masses annually
for the souls of the said William and Ma-
rian, according to the tenure of such grants.
T)ie next pro})rietor of whom the records
make mention is John de Newton, who wjis
succeeded by his grandson William, who
had a brother, Archibald, aiul one sister,
married to Borthwick of Gamelston, besides
a sou named John, who predeceased his
father, and whose widow, Janett Wolf, suc-
ceeded in life rent to the lands of Kidlaw.
William, the third proprietor, was succeeded
by his grandson,

William Newton, of Newton, a bold and
faithful adherent of the ill-fated Mafiy
Stuart. This laird had the misfortune to
kill, in a duel, his friend Hamilton, of Red-
house, under the following singular cir-
cumstances : during the invasion of Scot-
land by the duke of Somerset, the castle
of Yester, formerly called Bothans, sus-
tained a severe siege, and it was only by
reducing the garrison to extremities that
the besiegers forced it to surrender. New-
ton, of Newton, and the then Hamilton, of
Redhouse,both officers in the garrison, while
on guard, having openly expressed their
sentiments on the conduct of the duke, in
not the most courtly terms, his grace deter-
mined that on the capture of the castle, the
blood of one of them should be shed by the
hand of the other, as an atonement for the
crime of disrespect they had committed.
Accordingly both gentlemen, who were inti-
mate friends, were conveyed by the duke's
order to Haddington, and in his grace's
presence compelled to fight a duel at the
Water Haugh there, when Mr. Hamilton
was killed. William Newton married, first,
a daughter of Fcntoun, of that ilk ; and,
secondly, Marion Home, relict of James
Lawson. By the latter he appears to have
had three sons and two daughters, viz.

I. .fohn, who predeceased his father,
leaving two daughters.

Barhara, ) who, for a certain
I'lizabeth, \ sum of money, re-
noun(;ed to their uncle, Patrick,
all right to the estate.

II. Patiuck, successor to his father.

III. Thonuis.

I. Janet.

II. Margaret.

In 1559, Newton was employed as a
deputy for the ambitious James, earl of
Bothwell, then high admiral of Scotland,
as appears by an ol)ligation granted by
Bothwell to liim of this date ; and, in 15G8,
we find him devotedly attached to the cause
of Mary Stuart, fighting under her ban-
ner at Langside. This procedure, incur-
ring the pain of forfeiture, a gift of es-
(dieat of his heritable and moveahle estate
was issued under the privy seal, in favour
of his youngest son, Thomas. The deed
runs in the king's name, with consent of
the regent Murray, and describes the cause
of forfeiture. Whether he accompanied the
queen is doubtful, but if not he went imme-
diately afterwards, as there is a curious
account of furnishings made to him and his
household at tin; period in question : his
active and heroic exploits seem to have re-
duced the Newton family to great emergen-
cies. However, under a general act of paci-
fication, granted by the king's friends in
favour of those of the queen, Newton was
restored to his estate, but not without certain
sureties being taken for his good behaviour.
Henry Ogle, of Hartramwood, and David
Livingston, burgess of Edinburgh, became
bound as pledges to present him before the
regent and the lords of secret council upon
ten days warning, and that he should re-
main a faithful and obedient subject to his
majesty, under the pain of one thousand
pounds : the regent and council shortly
after, either from suspicion or actual proof
of his interference in behalf of his royal
mistress, charged Henry Ogle to present
Newton before them, and neither making
their appearance, the regent decreed that
Henry Ogle had incurred the penalty, and
ordained letters of " horning and poynding
of his lands and goodes to be decreet for
uptaking the sazyn ; " but Newton's son,
Patrick, becoming surety for Ogle, the pe-
nalty was not exacted ; and finally, James,
earl of Morton, obtaining the regency, Pa-
trick was entirely relieved from responsi-
bility on account of his father, by a dis-
charge granted to him in 1.'j87, at Holyrood
House, by Morton. The laird of Newton
lived to a great age, and, after settling the
fee of his possessions on his sons, seems
to have devolved the management of liis
worldly matters on his son, Patrick, from
whom he received an annuity. He died

In I068, a grant was made to Patrick, (pre-

the battle of Langside ; by which certain
duties whicli had become due and payable to
the crown on the death of John, Patrick's
elder brotlier, as well as the casualties due
for the marriages of Barbara and Elizabeth,
were conveyed to Patrick in these terms :
" ordains aine letter to be made, under her
privy seall in due form, to loved Patrick
Newton, son to William Newton, of that
ilk, his aires and assignes." This docu-
ment is without date, and appears to have
been executed in great haste. The grant
seems to have been redeemed by the crown
shortly after the defeat of the queen's party,
and conveyed to secretary Maitland, who
again reconveyed it to Patrick, on account
of friendship as he expresses himself. Al-
though Patrick's constitution was ill fitted
for such exploits as those of his father, he
nevertheless neglected not his parliamentary
duties, and we find his own, and his ances-
tors' services acknowledged by the crown
in a curious letter addressed to him by
Adam Newton, advocate and tutor to Prince
Henry. In this, Adam states, that his own
and his ancestors' services to the crown of
Scotland were duly appreciated by Kin</
James, is testified by a charter of confirma-
tion and Novodamus under the great seal,
dated 26th January, 1598, iu favour of Pa-
trick, of the barony of Newton, on resigna-
tion made in his majesty's hands as superior,
and there is likewise a writ of exemption,
under the privy seal, from future services.
Patrick d. in August, 1G02, and was s. by
his son,

AitCHiBALD Newton, of Newton, then in
minority, who at tlie instance of his bro-
ther-in-law, James, Lord Hay, of Tester,
and Sir Robert Kerr, seltlcd his estate on
his wife Christian, third daughter of Wil-
liam, sixth Lord Hay, in life rent ; but this
settlement being subsequently renounced,
another was made reserving the lands of
Newton to himself iu life rent and to his
eldest son Patrick in fee, on which the said
Patrick obtained a charter of confirmation
and novod;innis from the crown, under re-
servation of his fatlicr's life rent. Archi-
bald and his wife lived to a good old age,
and left two sons and two daughters, viz.
1'atrick, John, Margaret, and Mary. The
elder son,

Patrick Newton, of Newton, executed
two several bonds of taillie in 1635 and
1641, which are remarkable on account of
naming as a substitute one Peter Newton,
who is there designed as servitor to his
majesty A'i?((7 Charles L* Patrick wedded
.Janet, daughter of Sir James Bannatyne, of
Newhall, and left an only child,

Thomas Newion, of Newton, who being
in minority, his uncle, John, then in the
Dutch service, obtained from the crown a
gilt of tutory, as guardian to his nephew,
but as his profession obliged him to reside
in Holland, he appointed Alexander Hay,

* That the familv of tlie great Sir Isaac New-
ton ■ was a branch of this Scottisli house, ap-
pears more than probable. The proprietor of
the Newton estate, at the period of King James's
accession to tlie Eng-lish crown, was (as above
stated) Patrick Newton, son of ^Villiam, a zea-
lous supjjorter of the cause of the unfortunate
Queen ftlar}'. Patrick is supposed to have ac-
companied the king- to England, for lie was a
favourite of the ruling power, and a great friend
of IMaitland. In 1594 he applied to his majesty
for an exemption in future from all personal
services, on account of his divers infinuities,
which request was accordingly granted bv n
special writ under the privy seal, dated at Holy-
rood House the ath July, and jiroduced before
the sheriff of Edinburgh in the September of the
same year ; if he went to England, he returned
again, as he died at Newton Hall.

According to Dr. Reid, there is little doubt
that one of the family settled in England, either
at this period or shortly afterwards, as hy a bond
of taillie executed by Patrick, son of Archibalil,
in lGo.>, in favour of his brother John and his
heirs male, the next person called to them is de-
signed Pfter Nfwton, (servitor to Ids Majesty
Charles I.), whom failing, to his heirs male.
There can be no question aliout this person's being
a cadet of the fimiily, and if what is said of Sir
Isaac's descent be true, undoubtedly the situation
wliich this Peter seems to have held, corresjionds
with the account given of Sir Isaac's ancestor.
He is also designed in a second bond of taillie,
executed by Patrick in the same nianner, in 1()41.
The ]iro]irie.tor contemporary with Sir Isaac was
Sir Richard : it has been currently said tliat Sir
Isaac and Sir Richard were not only related but
corresponded ; and it is easily accounted for how
no documents to this effect are to be found in the
charter chest at Newton. Dame Helen Eiving-
stone survived Sir Richard her luishand, and
being naturally disapjiointed that she had no son
to succeed, she carefully destroyed all the corres-
pondence of her liusband's and her own time, be-
sides dispersing a library and all the plate. This
n])pears the more strilcing as the whole corres-
pondence, for many generations previous to this
jieriod, had been carefully preserved. Lady New-
ton repaired to West (Quarter soon after Sir Hich-
ard's death, carrying every moveable with her, as it
is said, rather than it should become the property
of th(f heir, who seems to have incurred her dis-
pleasure bv uniformly refusing to accompany her
to (he parish ciiurch.

of Biirra, factor and cliamberlain for tlic
iiiaiiaiioincnt of tlic cstati', siil)jc(;t to tlw
control ol Lord Hay, of VcstiT, anil Sir
James liauiiatync (sec a curious memo-
randum of tlic 21st September, HM!>, j;iven
by John on bis leaving;' Scotland). At tliis
period civil comTuotions distracted Scot-
land, and the contrilnitions levied ior the
numerous f>arrisons were severely felt by
tiie then Newton ; who was subjected to
the paynu^nt of sums of money for the
jj-arrisons of Leith and Tamptatton, and ob-
iii>ed to supply that of tin; castle of IJothans
with money, bread, drink, and mutton, and
also hay, corn, and straw, for the horses,
beside having a number of troops quartered
on the barony. This laird dyinj;^ without
issue, was buried by torch-lij;ht witliin the
old church of Uothans, and succ<'eded by
his uncle,

John Nkwton, of Newton, who married
a Dutch lady nanu'd Cecilia Vandertail, by
wliom he acquired a considerable fortune,
and had two sous and two daughters, viz.
liichard, James, Margaret, and Cornelia.
After John's succession lie remained in the
Dutch service, and seldom visited Scotland.
He did not neglect his interests at home,
for shortly after his nephew's death, he
appointed Alexander Ogilvy his factor, with
the most particular orders, and maintained
a regular correspondence with Ogilvy in
his absence, who appears, in all matters of
importance, to be instructed to obtain the
counsel and advice of Lord llumbie. In
this correspondence there is much curious
matter, shewing the customs of tlie age.
John Newton built large additions to the
house and all the garden walls. At this
time the ward or prison was so crowded with
culprits, that on an application from Lord
flay of Tester's tenants for liberty to work
limestone, Ogilvy thus recommends the
mode of giving them a supply by a letter to
the laird of Newton : " I hear great mur-
niurings amongst the Lord Hay's tenants for
lymestone, and yor own complaines sare for
them also, if ye pleas let the prisoiie dor be
opened, and let them have some of the pri-
soners for a ransom, ye may do as ye think
gude." In 1(550, Newton came over to
Scotland for the purpose of settling divers
mitters with Ogilvy, and he procured a
passport, dated 21st August in the same
year, from the famous General Monk. He
d. in 1658, and was s. by his son,

Richard Newton, of Newton, who being
educated under the eye of his father, inhe-
rited his feelings and prejudices, particularly
in regard to a due ol)servance of the rights
of his barony (see Minutes of the 13aron
Court, which are truly ridiculous and very
curious). This court had been held from
time immemorial within the town of New-
ton, called Long-Newton, (from the strag-

gling Icnglh and appearance of the village;,
on a green mouul u hich lay i" the middle of
the village, and had a circle cut out at the
top of it. Its proceedings were conducted
with the greatest solemnity, under the super-
intendain;e of three diiferent oflicers, with
regular salaries, a baron baillie, procurator
fiscal, and clerk. Centlemen were em-
powered to hold a court whenever in their
opinion the refractory state of the barony^
recpiired it, and the decrees were generally
to the discomtiture of the unfortunate cul-
prits. This laird, who succeeded to a good
deal of property in Holland, went thither
with his sister (Cornelia, as appears by a
passport signed by (3iiARLi;s H. and re-
nuiined abroad until the year 1667, when
he returned and was employed to raise the
troo|)s required in East Lothian for the king's
service. He in. in 1668, the famous Lady
Julian Home, sister to Sir Patrick Home
of Polwarth, created by William HI. earl
of Marchmont,* but survived his marriage
littl(! more than a year, when he was *. by
his only son,

KiCHAKD Newton, of Newton, whose af-
fairs were conducted, during his minority.

* Sir Patrick Home, of Polwurth, first Earl
OF JMarcumont, early distinguished liimself in
the cause of liberty. ^\ hen the privy council
passed an order, compelliiit>' the counties to pay
the expense of the garrisons arbitrarily placed
in them, he refused to pay his quota, and by a
bill of suspension presented to the court of ses-
sion, endeavoured to procure redress. The coun-
cil ordered him to be imprisoned for no otiier
crime, as it would ajipear, than that of haviiio^
attemjjted to ])rocure bv a legal process, a legal
decision on a ])oint of law. After having re-
mained in close confinement in Stirling- Castle for
nearly /o«r years, he was set at liberty through
the favour and interest of the duke of JNIonmoutL.
Having- af'terw-ards engaged in schemes connected
with tiiose imputed to Sidney and Mussel, orders
were issued for seizing him at his house of INlarch-
mont, but having had timely notice of his danger
from his relation Home, of Nine Wells, a gentle-
man attached to the royal cause, but whom party
spirit. had not rendered insensible to tlie ties of
friendship. He found means to conceal himself
for a time, and shortly after to escape biwond sea.
His concealment was in the family burying place,
where the means of sustaining- life were brought
to him by his daughter, a girl of fifteen years of
age, whose duty and affection furnished her with
courage to brave the terrors, to which she was
exposed bv any intercourse with her father. Sir
Patrick returned with thi> earl of Argyle's expe-
dition in favour of Monuumtli, but after tlie result
of that unfortun-ate invasion, he was obliged again
to seek security by concealing himself some time
in the house, under the protection of Lady Elea-
nor Dunbar, sister to the earl of Eglintoun, after
■which he found nieiuis to escape to Holland, from
wlieuce he returned and was created, first. Lord
Home, of Pohvarlli, and then earl of MarcliinoLt.

298/. for his estate, which was very far inferior
to the otlior. The occasion was this : Robert
Pennant had the misfortune to have a hot headed
young fellow in his house, when a small detach-
ment of the adverse party, with a comet at the
head aj>proached tlie jtlace. He persuaded the
lamily to resist ; the doors were barricadoed, a
musket fired, and the cornet wounded. The house
was soon forced, and of course plundered ; but
such was the moderation of the party, no carnaoe
ensued, and the only revenge seems" to have been
the disproportionate fine afterwards levied.

Mr. Pennant, who was high sheriff of Flint-

sliire in 1739, d. in January, 17G3, aged

seventy-eight, and was s. by his son,

Thomas Pennant, esq. of Downing and
Bychton, the celebrated naturalist and tra-
veller. This distinguished person, who was
born at Downing 14th ..June, 172G, studied
at Queen's College, Oxford, and afterwards
removed to Oriel College, in the same uni-
versity, where he took the degree of D.C.L.
in 1771. At twelve years of age he was
inspired with a passion for natural history
by a present of Willughby's " Ornithology,"
from Mrs. Piozzi's father ; and for mine-
rals and fossils by a visit to Doctor Borlase
in 1747 His first production was an ac-
count of an earthquake, felt in Flintshire,
2nd April, 1750, which appeared in the
Philosophical Transactions in 1756; and the
following year he was chosen a member of
tiie Royal Society of Upsal, through the
influence of tlie great Linna;iis, with whom
he corresponded. In 17GI, he commenced
the folio edition of " the British Zoology,"
w Inch was afterwards republished in quarto
and octavo, and translated into German by
C. Theop. Murr. This work was followed
bv his " Indian Zoology," 1769, "Synopsis
of Quadrupeds." 1771, " Genera of Birds,"
"History of Qaadrupeds," 1781, "Arctic
Zoology," 1786, and " Index to Butfon's
Natural History of Birds," 1787 ; which are
liis principal works relative to the depart-
ment of science, wliich he chiefly cultivated:
but he also published a number of detached
essays and papers in the Philosophical
Transactions on similar subjects. In 1765.
Mr. Pennant travelled to the continent and
visited Buffon, Haller, Pallas, and other
eminent foreigners. He was admitted into
the Royal Society in 1767. In 1769 he un-
dertook a journey into Scotland, of Avhich
he published an account in 1771; and an-
other volume appeared in 1776, relating to
a second tour in the same country, and a
ivoyage to the Hebrides. In 1778, he pub-
lished a tour in Wales ; to which was after-
wards added, in a subsequent volume, a
journey to Snowdon. He produced, in 1782,
& narrative of a " Jovirney from Chester to
i.oiKJon ; " ;i\id, in 1790, his popular " Ac-
count of London." In 1793, he professedly
took leave of tiie ))ublic, in a piece of auto-
biography, which he entitled " The literary
Life of the late Thomas Pennant ; " but
tills did not prove to be his latest produc-
tion, as he afterwards committed to the
press u " History of the Parishes of W hite-

ford and Holywell." He died 16th De-
cember, 1798^ at his seat in Flintshire.
After his death appeared "Outlines of the
Globe ; " his " Journey from London to the
Isle of Wight," 1801 ; his " Tour from
Downing to Alston Moor ; " and his " Tour
from Alston Moor to Harrowgate." Mr.
Pennant married first, in 1759, Elizabeth,
daughter of James Falconer, esq. of Ches-

Umcaqe.

This branch of the Egerton family has
enjoyed, for a long series of years, extensive
estates and leading influence in the palati- j
nate of Chester.

Sir Thomas Egf.kion, (son of Sir Rich-
ard Egerton, of Jiidley), the celebrated
LOUD CHANCELLOK, was bom in Cheshire i
abont the year 1540, aiul admitted of Bra-
zennose College, Oxford, in 1556. The
Athena; Oxonienses give an account of his
early pursuits, and state his having " ap- j
l)li(<l his nuisc to severe study in this univer- !
sity, where, continuing ahont three years, '
he laid a foundation whereon to build ])ro- j
founder learning. Afterwards, going to '
Lincoln's Inn, lie made a most hapjjy pro-
gress in llie municipal laws, and at length
was a counsellor of note." In 1681, Mr.
Egertou's eminent abilities were rewarded
with the office of solicitor-general, and in
1592 with the attorney-generalship. In
1594, he was raised to" the Rolls bench,

having previously received the honour of
knighthood ; and, in 1.596, obtained the
custody of the great seal, as the title
oC lord keeper. To this high station he
was elevated by the especial favour of
his royal mistress, and the universal wish
of the country, " every one," as Camden
says, " having conceived mighty hopes and
expectations of his lordship." Alter re-
taining this ollii-e during the reign of
Elizabi:tii, he was created, by her suc-
cessor, on the 21st July, 1603,'Bakon El-
i.KSMi.iu:, and constituted LoiU) iiiGii CHAN-
CF.LLOK of England. To attempt even the
most abridged epitome of the affairs in which
Lord Ellesmere a])pears a principal actor,
during bis eventful and splendid career,
would far exceed our limits. Among those,
liowever, may be especially noted the trea-
ties with the Dutch and the Danes, 40th and
42n(l lu.i/ABLTH ; his exertions in behalf of
the ill fated Essex ; the trials of Lords Cob-

gotiations rcs|)(Mtinf;- the proposed union of
tlie crowns of l-liiiiland and ScotlniKl in
1604; the struggle witli Ijoril (^liief Justice
Coivc, in reference to the jurisdiction of tlie
Court of Ciiancery i" 1615; and tlie trial
of the earl and countess of Somerset, in
tlie following year, for the murder of Sir
Thomas Overbury. The lord chancellor,
now more than seventy-six years of age,
feeling both the powers of his mind and
body shrink, under the pressure of age
and inlirmity, entreated from the king, in
two pathetic letters, a discharge from his
high office which he had held nearly twenty-
two years. His majesty complied, and
after advancing the chancellor to the dig-
nity of Viscount Bracklf.y, received the
seals in person from his lordship, on his
death bed, with tears of respect and grati-
tude, and expressed the intention of add-
ing the earldom of Bridge water to his
previous honours. His lordship died l.Oth
March, 1617, "in a good old age, and full
of virtuous fame ; " and, in the words of
Camden, " forte qnanto propius Reipublicas
mala viderat, iit integer honestum finem
voluit." Hacket, in his life of Archbishop
Williams, says he was one " qui nihil in
vita nisi laudandum aut fecit, aut dixit, aut
sensit." His apprehension was keen and
ready ; his judgment deep and sound ; Jiis
elocution elegant and easy. As a lawyer,
he was prudent in counsel, extensive in in-
formation, and just in principle ; so that
while he lived he was excelled by none ;
and when he died he was lamented by all.
In a %vord, as a statesman, lie was faithful
and patriotic ; and as a judge, impartial
and incorrupt.* His lordship m. first, Eli-
zabeth, daughter of Thomas Ravenscroft,
esq. of Bretton, in Flintshire ; secondly,
Elizabeth, Lady Wolley,sister of Sir George
More, knt. of Losely, in Surrey, lieutenant
of the Tower; and, thirdly, Alice, dowager
countess of Derby, daughter of Sir John
Spencer, of Althorp. By the first lady
only, who d. in 1588, he had issue, viz. two
sons and one daughter,

I. Thomas (Sir), knt. who died in Ire-

* Ben Jouson lias addressed several epig;rams
to Chancellor Kgerton : one of which we subjoin ;

To Thomas Lord Chancellor,
Whilst thv weigh'd judgments, Egerton, I hear,
And know thee then a judge not of one year;
Whilst I behold thee live with purest hands,
Tliat no affection in thy voice commands ;
That still thou 'rt ])resent in the better cause ;
And no less wise than skilful in the laws ;
Whilst thou art certain to thv words once gone,
As is thy conscience, which is alwavs one:
The virgin long since fled from earth I see,
T' our times retum'd, liath made her heaven in
thee.

Lord Brackley was s. at his decease by his
only surviving son,

John Egerton, second viscount, who was
advanced to the earldom of BiiiDfiEWATER
on the 27th May, 1617. This nobleman,
distinguishing himself in Ireland under the
earl of Essex in 1599, received the honour
of knighthood, and, at the coronation of
.James I. was made a knight of the Bath.
His lordship's appointment, in 1633, to the
lord presidency of Wales and the Marches,
gave rise to Milton's immortal Counts, and
is thus recorded by Warton : "I have been
informed," says that writer, " from a manu-
script of Oldys, that Lord Bridgewater,
being appointed lord president of Wales,
entered upon his official residence at Lud-
low Castle with great solemnity. L^pon this
occasion, he was attended by a large con-
course of the neighbouring nobility and
gentry. Among the rest came his children ;
in particular Lord Brackley, Mr. Thomas
Egerton, and Lady Alice,

to attend their father's state

And new entrusted sceptre.

They had been on a visit at a house of the
Egerton family in Herefortlshire ; and in
passing through Haywood forest were be-
nighted ; and the Lady Alice was even lost
for a short time. This accident, which in
the end was attended with no bad conse-
quences, furnished the subject for a mask
for a Michaelmas festivity, and produced
Conms." The earl wedded the Lady Fran-
ces Stanley,* second daughter and co-heir
of Ferdinando, earl of Derby, and by her,

* Ladv Frances Stanley's grandmother, the
Lady iNIiirgaret Clifford, was only child of Henry
earl of Cumberland, and of Kh>;inor his countess,
younger daughter and co-heir of Charles Bran-
don, duke of Suffolk, by iNlary his wife, queen
dowager of France, youngest sister of King Henry
VIII.

Egerton died himself 10th February, 1780,
advanced in years, being one of the repre-
sentatives in that and the three preceding
parliaments for the county of Chester. He
devised his great estates, with divers re-
mainders, ill tail to his only sister,

Hesti.k Eoeuton, who luid ?«. in May,
1747, William Tatton, esq. of Withen-
shaw. but who, upon inheriting her bro-
ther's possessions, resumed, by sign manual,
8th May, 1780, her maiden name. She d.
the 9tli of the following July, leaving a
daughter, Elizabeth Tatton, the wife of Sir
Christopher Sykes, bart. of Sledniere, M.P.
and a son and successor,

William-Tatton Egerton, esq. of Tat-
ton and Withenshaw, h. 9th May, 1749.
This gentleman, wlio, from his extensive

landed possessions and great personal influ-
ence, was esteemed one of tlie leading com-
moners in the kingdom, represented the
county of Chester in j)arliament. He m.
thrice (see famili/ of 7'fiHon, p. 41), and
dying in 180G, was s. in the Egerton estates

Estates — Tatton, Rosthern, Ollerton, &e.
were ])ossessed by Sir Alen de Tatton, an-
cestor of the present i)roprietor in the ear-
liest period of authentic history. The elder
braneli became extinct after a few descents :
the heiress married William Massey, fourth
son of Hamon de Massey, baron of Dun-
ham Massey% whose descendants retained
possession of the Tatton property without
intermission until the reign of Edward IV.
From the Tattons, of Tatton, the family of
Withenshaw are undoubtedly a brancli : it
is a curious fact, that the estates should
again return into the possession of the Tat-
ton family, after so long an alienation.

of the ancient house of Tatton, of Tatton,
which was allied to the barons of Dunham

marriage with Alice, daughter and heiress
of William de Massey, of Withenshaw, in
Cheshire, acquired that estate, and was di-

ters, Anne, who d. in infancy, Margaret,
the wife of Richard Twyford, esq. of Did-
desbury, and Eleanor, b. in 1612, a son and
successor,

Robert Tatton, esq. of WithenshaAv,
b. 14tli May, 1606, who served the office of
sheriff for Cheshire in 1645. During the
civil wars, this gentleman was a staunch
supporter of the royal cause, and sustained
a siege at Withenshaw against the parlia-
mentary forces. It is thus noticed in Burg-
hall's diary : " February 25, 1643-4, Mr.
Tatton's house at Withenshaw was taken
by the parliament, who had laid a long
siege to it. There were in it only Mr.
Tatton, some gentlemen, and but a few
soldiers, who had quarter for life. The
ammunition was but little." Col. Ducken-
field conducted the attack, and finally ef-
fected the reduction of the mansion by
bringing two pieces of ordnance from Man-
chester. In the last century, six skeletons
were found in the garden at Withenshaw
lying close together, who were supposed to
be soldiers buried during the siege in the
house, which was then much larger than it
is at present. There is a tradition that one
of the parliament officers exposed himself
by sitting on a wall, and that a female do-
mestic begged for a musket to try if " she
could bring him down," and succeeded. Mr.
Watson supposes this officer to have been
" Captayne Adams, slayne at VVithen-
shawe," on Sunday the 25th, who was
buried at Stockport 25th February, 1643-4.
Mr. Tatton compounded for his estate at
£707. 13*. 4rf. and appears to have been
oppressed by other vexatious charges, in
consequence of which he appealed against
liis portion of subsequent parliament levies.
These disastrous consequences of loyalty
must have been severely felt, as Webb,
writing in 1622, speaks of the Tattons as
being " much eclipsed," and " by troubles
and encumbrances, whereunto greatest es-
tates are oft subject, obscured," and " places
the chiefest liope of raising the house on
that grandchild," upon whom these cala-
mities subsequently fell. Mr. Tatton tn. in
1628, Anne, third daughter and co-heiress
of William Brereton, es(j. of Ashley, and
by her, who died in 1670, had four sons and
two daughters, viz.

I. William, his heir.

If e'er on earth true happiness were found,

'Twas thine, blest shade, thathappiness to prove;
A father's fondest wish thy duty crown'd,

Thy softer virtues fix'd a husband's love.
Ah ! when he led thee to the nuptial fane.

How smiled tJie mornins: with auspicious rays !
How triumphed youtli and beauty in thy train.

And flattering liealth that promised length of
days !
Heav'n joiu'd your hearts ; three pledges of your
joy

Were given in thrice the years revolving round ;
Here, reader, pause ; and own, with pitying eye,

That not on earth true happiness is found.
She died January Pth, 1777, aged twenty-six.

Mr. Chute osponsod, socondly, in 179S, Elizabeth, (laughter of the Rev. Dr. Wil-

I. Elizalx'tli.

11. J)orothea, ?it. to William Neligan, esq. of Tralee.

111. Margaret.

Mr. Chute, who succeeded his father in March, 1782, acted for many years as a
magistrate of the county of Kerry until, from declining health, he was compelled to
retire from the bench. He served the office of high sheriff, shortly after his attainin"-
majority, in 1786.

The Chi'tf.s, of Chute Hall, derive from
that branch of the ancient family of Chute,
whicli was seated in the county of Kent.
The Hampshire and Norfolk lines are now
represented by William - Lyde- Wiggett
Chute, esq. of the Vine and of Pickenham
Hall. (See vol. i. p. 632.)

The first who settled in Ireland,

Gkouge Chute, a military officer, went
into that kingdom during the rebellion of
Desmond, and obtained grants of land near
Dingle, and in the county of Limerick, which
were soon however alienated. He m. an
Evans, of the county of Cork, and had a
son,

Daniel Chute, who acquired, in marriage
with a daughter of Mc EUigott, the lands
of Tulligaron or Chute Hall, which were
afterwards (with others since disposed of)
confirmed by patent, in 16.30, under which
they are now held. He left (with a daugh-
ter, m. to — Crosbie, esq.) a son and suc-
cessor,

Richard Chute, esq. of Tulligaron, in
the county of Kerry, who wedded a daugh-
ter of Crosbie, of Tubrid, and had issue.
At the restoration, in 1660, Mr. Crosbie, of
Tubrid, being high sheriff of Kerry, returned
Chute to parliament as member for that
county, in opposition to Blennerhasset, of
Ballyseedy, who petitioned against the re-
turn and succeeded. Some curious parti-
culars connected with this contest are set
forth in the first volume of the Irish Com-
mons' Journals, and it was probably owing
to the expenses then incurred that the alien-
ation of the grants above alluded to took
place. Richard Chute was s. by his son,

EusEBius Chute, esq. of Tulligaron, who
m. Mary, sister of Mr. Justice Bernard, of
the court of Common Pleas in Ireland,
(raised to the bench in 1726,) ancestor of
the earls of Bandon. By this lady he had

MASSIK, OF (:(>1)J)INGT0N,

Hmcagc.

The early descpiit of the Massif.s, of
Coddingtou, lias long- bt'oii a inattor of dis-
pute, some of the pedifjrees deriving them
from a younger son of Sir John Massie, of
Tatton, supposed to have been slain at
Shrewsbury, whose eldest son d. 8th Hkmiy
V. ; and others from H anion, son of Sir
John Massey, of Puddington, who also fell
at the battle of Shrewsbury. "The proba-
bilities," says Ormerod, " are in favour of
the Tatton branch, as far as can be argued
from correspondence of dates, and no stress
can be laid on a subsequent settlement made
by John Massie in the sixteenth century,
whereby he settled Coddington in remain-
der on the Puddington lariiily, in the event
of his issue failing, as this settlement over-
looked acknowledged nearer relations, the
Massies of Broxton and the Massies of Eg-
gerley."

Hugh Massie settled at Coddington in
consequence of his marriage with Agnes,
daughter and lieiress of Nicholas Bold, of
Coddington, great grandson of John, third
son of Sir John IJold, of Bold, in Lanca-
shire. Hugh had (with four daughters,
Anne, m. to David Dod, esq. of Edge ;
Alice, m. to Robert Tatton, esq. of Withen-
sliaw ; Maud, the wife of Thomas Cotting-
liani, esq. of Wirral ; and Margaret, of
Philip Aldersey, esq. of Middle Aldersey)
several sons, of whom the third,

William Massie, esq. purchased, in the
18th of Henry VI. from Sir Philip Boteler,
the manors of Coddington, Bechin,Eggerley,
&c. subject to a rent charge of twenty-five
marks per annum, which, by a deed, 8th
Henry VIII. was fixed at forty marks. He
wedded Alice, daughter and heiress of Adam
Woton, of Edgerley and Chester, and by
her, who m. secondly, Hugh Ball, of Cod-

made, temp. Edwakd VI. tlie settlement we
have alluded to in tlio commencement of
this narrative, by which his estates were en-
tailed on the male issue of his two sons, witli

He m. first, Ellen, daughter of Thomas Da-

V. Edward, one of the most distin-
guished military leaders during the
civil wars of the reign of Charles I.
This gallant person, who held a com-
mission in the royal army in the ex-
pedition against Scothuul, attended,
on the commencement of the troubles,
at York, with the intention of serving
the king: but " finding himself,"
says Clarendon, " not enough known
there, and that there would be little
gotten but in the comfort of a good
conscience, he went to London, where
there was more money and fewer of-
ficers," and on his arrival was made
lieutenant-colonel to the earl of Stam-
ford, and appointed governor of the
city of (Gloucester. The same his-
torian details, at greater length than
our limits will permit, the de\ice by
which Colonel Massie inveigled tlie
king to undertake in person the siege
of Gloucester, and commemorates
also the determined defence of the be-

sieged, a defence to which, as it gave
the parliament time to recover their
broken spirits and forces, may be at-
tributed " the greatness to which they
afterwards asjiired." In 1()45, Massie
obtained the rank of major-general,
and in the same year his name twice
occurs in official contemporary pub-
lications, the first of which is an ac-
count of his engagement with Prince
Rupert's forces at Ledbury, where
Massie uniformly charged in person
at the head of his troops. " Prince
Rupert," says Massie, in a letter des-
criptive of the engagement, " sent
me word by my trumpeter that I
sent, that in the fight he sought me,
but knew me not till after, no more
than I knew him. But it seems we
charged each other, and he shot my
horse under me, and I did as much
for him. At that charge many com-
manders of theirs fell." The success
at Ledbury was followed by the cap-
ture of Evesham, which was sfornuHl
with great gallantry in five places at
once by the parliament forces under
General Massie. In 1G47, he was
one of the officers emjjloyed by the
city to enlist new forces during the
differences between the army and
parliament, after the seizure of the
king's person. In these ^discussions
he took an active part, and opposing
the intentions now plainly manifested
i)y Cromwell, he was, ^vith other of-
ficers of the i)resbyterian partj, com-
mitted to prison. Massie, however,
effected liis escape, lied to Holland,
and had the boldness to present him-
self to Prince Charles as a sufferer
for the king. Massie's abilities and
bravery were not to be neglected,
and retaining his rank, he obtained
the command of a regiment of horse
under the duke of Buckingham ; and
in the king's march to Worcester was
dispatched, on account of liis con-
nexion with the presbyterians, one
day's march in ad\ ance of the royal
army, to give notice of his majesty's
coming, and to draw the gentry to
attend upon him. In this new cause
Massie disphiyi d his wonted activity
and skill; but, having secured a pass
in the neigliljourhood of AN'orcester,
lie attempted to follow up an advan-
tage of little importance, and re-
ceived adangerous wound, which pre-
vented him from exerting liis ser-
vices in a moment of the greatest
need to the king. In the flight from
Worcester, General Massie rode six
miles with his majesty, but not being
able to keep pace any longer, the

Massie was an unsuccessful endea-
vour to seize Gloucester for the kin<»'.
Clarendon attributes the failure, in
some degree, to the errors caused by
a stormy and tempestuous night in
which the attempt was made, to which
circumstance however Massie was
indebted for his personal safety. lie

and was conveyed by them towards

self from his hold by means of his
great strength and agility, he secured
his retreat into the woods.*

portrait is still preserved at Pool

Huiractc.

The representatives of this family have,
without the omission of a single generation,
served as officers in the army since the reign
of Elizabeth, but the early commissions,
prior to the year 1G94, which are stated to
have borne date so far back as the year
1558, having been lost by the neglect of a
person to whom they were confided, the re-
gular ])cdigrce can be traced no higher
than the time of William and Mary.

Peter Hawker, esq. captain of Queen
Mary's dragoons in UJ94, was father of

Peter Hawker, esq. who obtained his
commission as major in Queen Anne's dra-
goons in 1703, his lieutenant-colonelcy in

s. by liis eldest son,

Richard I^iYsriiu, esq. of Rowton Castle,
who represented the county of Saloj) for the
unusual period of tliirty years. The threat
hospitality and universal popularity of tliis
gentleman are still very freshly remem-
bered ; he was a firm supporter of the ex-
iled royal house, and constantly opposed
the whig administrations of his day. It is
related of him, tliat his first return to par-
liament was for the borough of Shrewsbury,
for which place, after a strenuous contest,
he was elected by a considerable majority.
His opponent, however, disputed the re-
turn, and endeavoured to destroy the ma-
jority by disfranchising an extensive su-
burb, which, till that period, had always
enjoyed the elective franchise, and as he
was a supporter of the government, the
whole whig party joined in the attempt,
and succeeded in throwing out the suc-
cessful candidate. Upon tlie decision being
announced in the commons, Mr. Lyster,
feeling very keenly the injustice of the pro-
ceeding, put on his hat, and with his back
to the speaker, walked down the house ;
when his manner being remarked, lie was
called to order, and pointed out to the
chair. Turning abruptly round he instantly
said, "When you learn justice I will learn
manners." This drew down upon him the
increased wrath of the house, and probably
he would have been compelled to ask par-
don on ])is knees, or to visit the Tower, had
not Sir Robert Walpole, who on all occa-
sions knew how to throw the grace of good
temper over his corruptions and tyranny,
exclaimed, with a smile, " Let him go, we
have served him bad enough already."
The indignation which this ill treatment
occasioned mainly contributed to securing
the representation of his native county for
the remainder of his life. In illustration of
the manners of his day, we may add, that
on his departure from Rowton to take his
seat, his tenants annually escorted liim the
first two stages on his journey, while his
London tradespeople, duly apprized of his
approach, with the same punctilio, advancctl

two stages from town to I)ring him into
London.

de Moravia de Falahill, of part of the lands
of Philiphaugh, dated 20th July, 1461 . His
son,

Patrick Murray, of Falahill, acquir-
ing from Robert Watson several acres
of land about Philiphaugh, had a charter
from the said Robert, dated 20th February,
1477. He subsequently obtained charters
of lauds in 1480 and 1492. He m. and had
one son and a daughter, namely,
John, his heir.

cestor of tlie Earls of Traquair.
Patrick Murray d. at the close of the fif-
teenth century, and was succeeded by his
son,

John Murray, of Falahill, who upon his
father's resignation, got a charter under the
great seal from James IV., " Johanni Mur-
ray filio et hferedi apparenti Patricii Mur-
ray de Falahill terrarura dc Gervastoun,"
in 1489 ; afterwards, in 1497, another char-
ter dated 6th November, in that year, of
the lands of Cranston, Riddel, &c. and
eventually, on his own resignation, a char-
ter, dated 10th October, 1508, of half of the
lands of Philiphaugh.

This chieftain, the celebrated " Outlaw
Murray," who, with five hundred of his
men, bid defiance to the king of Scot-
land, James IV., is immortalized by the
beautiful ballad,* preserved in the Min-
strelsy of the Scottish Border, and for
ages a popular song in Selkirkshire. " The

upon Ragman's Roll presumes) from the

riage of a daughter of Sir David Olifard,
got considerable possessions in the county
of Selkirk. In 1296, he subscribed the
oath of fealty to Edward I., and d. in the

tradition of Ettrick Forest," says Sir Wal-
ter Scott, " bears, that the "outlaw was
a man of prodigious strengtii, possessing a
batton or club, vvitli which he laid Ice (i. e.
waste) the country for many miles round ;
and that lie was at length slain by Buc-
cleugh, or some of his clan, at a little mount,
covered with fir trees, adjoining to Newark
Castle, and said to liave been a i)art of the
garden ; a varying tradition bears the place
of liis death to have been near to tlie liouse
of the Duke of Buccleugh's gamekeeper,
beneath the castle, and that the fatal arrow
was shot by Scott, of Haining, from [the
ruins of a cottage on the opposite side of
the Yarrow. There was extant, within
these twenty years, some verses of a song
on his death. The feud between the out-
law and the Scotts may serve to explain
the asperity with which the chieftain of that
clan is handled in the ballad,"*

The song relates the departure of James
IV. with " full five thousand men" to sup-
press the insurrection of the outlaw, and
subsequently the humiliating necessity to
which the king of Scotland was reduced to
compromise with his rebellious subject, by
grantingt to him the heritable sheriffship of
the shire of Selkirk. J

Murray espoused the Lady Margaret
Hepburn, daughter of Patrick, first Earl of
Bothwell, and had two sons and three daugh-
ters, viz.

I. James, his heir.

and heiress of William Romanno, of

CROIMPTON-STANSFIELD, OF ESHOLT HALL.

Hfncncie.

The family of Stausfield, or Stansfeld as
anciently written, trace their descent from
one of the companions-in-arras of William
THE Conqueror, who obtained the grant of
the lordship of Stansfeld. His descendants
have remained ever since enjoying high
respectability in the county of York, and
their ancient residence, Stansfield Hall, is
still to be seen in the once beautiful valley
of Todmorden.

Seat — Esholt Hall, or Priory, in the' West
Riding of Yorkshire. The priory of Esshe-
holt was founded by Simon de Ward, in the
middle of the twelfth century, and dedicated
to God, St. Mary, and St. Leonard ; a proof
of the sincere and profuse devotion of that
period, for while Simon freely bestowed the
fairest and most fruitful portion of his es-
tates on strangers, he was content to reserve
for himself and his posterity a mansion and
domain atGuiseley, which no modern land-
holder, who had been possessed of both,
would have been content to inhabit for
twelve months. Esholt Priory fell of course
with the smaller foundations, and remained
vested in the /crown until granted, nine
years after his dissolution to Henry Thomp-
son, one of the king's gens-d'armes at Bou-
logne. Ill this family it continued sorae-
wliat more than a century, when it was
transferred to the neighbouring and more
distinguished house of Calverley by the
marriage of Frances, daughter and heiress
of Henry Thompson, esq. with Sir Walter
Calverley. His son, Sir Walter Calverley,
hart, built on the site of the priory, in the
earliest part of the last century, a magnifi-
cent house, and planted a fine avenue of
elms from Apperley Bridge, which, not-
withstanding the change of taste, from the
noble growth to which they have attained,
reconcile the most fastidious eye to their
rectilinear disposition. Along this approach
the house is seen to great advantage, with
two fronts of handsome white stone, beauti-
fully backed by native oak woods, with the
more distant hills of Upper Aresale beyond.
It is not improbable that till the great de-

the Clerk, son of William, son of Thomas
de Plumptre, living tempore Kinff John,

age and depressed with poverty, in a
certain messuage in Nottingham, and
to give the said messuage and ten
other messuages, and two tofts, with
the appurtenances to the said master
or warden, and his successors, viz.
the one messuage for the habitation
of the said chaplains and widows,

and the rest for their sustentation, to
pray for the wholesome estate of the
said John, and Emma his wife, whilst
they should live, and for their souls
afterwards. In the year 1400, July
12, seeing that God had vouchsafed
him to build a certain hospital at the
Bridge End of Nottingham, in honour
of God, and the annuntiation of his
mother, the blessed Virgin, for the
sustenance of thirteen poor women,
he proposed to ordain a chantry, and
willed that it should be at the altar
of the annuntiation of the blessed
Virgin Mary, in the chapel built be-
neath the said hospital, and should
be of two chaplains perpetually to
pray for the state of the king, of him
the said John de Plumptre, and
Emma, his wife, and of the whole
community of Nottingham, who, with
the prior of Lenton, after the death

hundred shillings yearly, paid in
money, out of the said ten tenements

at whose drccase, lunuarried, 3rd April,
1644, the estates and representation of the
family vested in his brother,

Huntingdon Plvmitki;, M.D. of Not-
tingham, bapt. 5th February, IGOl, a gen-
tleman of great professional reputation, who
is recorded in Gervase Ilolles's Memoirs of
the Earls of Clare, as attending tlie fust
earl in his last illness, being " accounted
the best physician at Nottingham." He
was likewise noted for his wit and learning,
and when a young master of arts at Cam-
bridge, published " Epigrammatum Opus-
culum, duobis libellis distinctum, Lond.
1629, 8vo." and subsequently " Homeri
IJatrachomyomachia Latino carmine red-
dita, variisque in locis aucta et illustrata."
In 1650 he pulled down the hospital erected
by his ancestor, rebuilt it as it now appears,
and so advanced the rents that the monthly
allowance to the poor became double what
it was previous. Of the decay and eventual
renewal of the Plumptre Hospital, Thoro-
ton gives the following account : " After the
dissolution of the monasteries in the '2nd
Edward VI. Sir Gervase Clifton, Sir John
Hersey, Sir Anthony Neville, knights, and
William Holies, esq. commissioners for the
survey of colleges, chapels, &c. certified
that no poor were then to be found in this
hospital, and that the lands were then
wholly employed to the benefit of one Sir
Piers Bursdale, priest, master thereof.
Afterwards both the hospital and chapel
became ruinous and demolished, and the
very materials embezelled, till after divers
patents of the said mastership, Nicholas
Plumptre, of Nottingham, 24th Elizabeth,
obtained one, and with the tines he received
made some reparations, and brought in some
poor, but, after his decease, during the
mastership of Richard Parkyns, of Boney,
and Sir George, his son, who, it seems, were
trusted successively, for Henry Plumptre,
son and heir of the said Nicholas, in his
nonage, both the hospital and tenements
belonging to it grew into great decay, until
after Sir George's death, that Nicholas
Plumptre, son and heir of Henry, last
named, became master by a patent, 5th
Charles I. and made some repairs and
amendments, which yet were not judged
sufficient by his brother and heir, Hunting-
don Plumptre, doctor of physick, who suc-
ceeded him in the mastership, which he ob-
tained in 1645."

WILSON PATTEN, OF BANK HALL.

The third son,

RicHAKD Patten, alias Waynflete, of
"Waynflete, sometime in the reigns of the fifth
or sixth Henries, wedded Margery, daugh-
ter of Sir William Brereton, knt. of Brere-
ton, in Cheshire, (who d. 4th Henry VI.,
by Anylhi, liis wife, daughter of Hugh
Yenables), and had issue,

I. William Patten, «??«* Waynflete,
the illustrious founder of Magdalen
College, Oxford, who was born at
Waynflete, (whence, as was the cus-
tom of those times, he derived his sur-
name,)but the exact periodof his birth
has never yet been ascertained. He
was educated at Winchester school,
and studied afterwards at Oxford, but
in what college is uncertain. The
historian of Winchester is inclined
to prefer New College, which is most
consistent with the progress of edu-
cation at Wykeham's school. Wood
acknowledges that although his name
does not occur among the fellows of
New College, nor among those of
Merton, where Holinshed places him,
unless he was a chaplain or post-
master, yet " the general vogue is
for the college of William of Wyke-
ham." Wherever he studied, his
proficiency in the literature of the
times, and in philosophy and di-
vinity, in which last he took the de-
gree of bachelor, is said to have been
great, and the fame he acquired as
schoolmaster, at Winchester, with
the classical library he formed, is
a proof that he surpassed in such
learning as was then attainable.

Of his preferments in the church
we have no account that can be
relied upon. Wood says he was
rector of Wraxall in 1433, which is
barely possible, and that he was
rector of Chedsey in 1469, which is
highly improbable, for he had then
been twenty years Bishop of Win-
chester. It is, however, more clearly
ascertained that, about 1429, he was
appointed head master of Winches-
ter school. In 1438 he was master
of St. Mary Magdalen Hospital, near
Winchester, which is supposed to
have suggested to him the name and
patroness of his foundation at Ox-
ford. In 1440, when Henry VI.
visited Winchester, for the purpose
of inspecting the discipline, constitu-
tion, and progress of Wykeham's
school, on the model of which he
liad begun to found one at Eton, he
procured the consent of Waynflete to
remove thither with thirty-five of his
scholars and five fellows, whose edu-
cation Waynflete superintended until

1442, when he was appointed pro-
vost of that celebrated seminary.
On the demise of Cardinal Beaufort,
in 1447, he was advanced to the see
of Winchester, which he held for the
long space of thirty-nine years, dur-
ing which he amply justified the re-
commendation of the king, being
distinguished for " piety, learning,
and prudence." His acknowledged
talents and political sagacity pro-
cured him the unreserved confidence
of his royal master, who appears to
have treated him with condescending
familiarity, employed him in afl'airs
of critical importance, and received
throughout the whole of his turbulent
reign abundant proofs of his inva-
riable loyalty and attachment. In
October, 1456, he was constituted
Lord High Chancellor in the room
of Bourchier, Archbishop of Can-
terbury, and held the seals of office
nearly four years, resigning in the
month of July, 1460, about which
time he accompanied the king to
Northampton, and was with him a
few days before the fatal battle near
that place, in which the Lancastrians
were defeated. Waynflete's attach-
ment to Henry's cause had been
uniform and decided, yet his high
character appears to have protected
him. Edward IV. treated him not
only with respect, but with some de-
gree of magnanimity, as he twice
issued a special pardon in his favour,
and condescended to visit his newly
founded college at Oxford. The
evening of the bishop's life was
passed free from political strife and
danger, and he lived to witness the
quiet union of the rival roses, in the
nuptials of Henry of Richmond and
Elizabeth of York. This learned
prelate, celebrated by historians for
piety, temper, and humanity, died
nth August, 1486, and was interred,
with great funeral pomp, in Win-
chester cathedral, in a magnificent
sepulchral chapel, which is kept in
the finest preservation by the society
of Magdalen College. (See C/ial-
fners, Chandler, &c. &c.)

Cheshire, anno 1663, and was fifth son of Na-
thaniel Wilson, of Burton, by Alice his wife,
sister of Dr. Sherlock. His education was com-
pleted at Trinity College, Dublin, on leaving-
which, in 1686, he was licensed to the curacy of
New Church, in Winwiok parish, of which his
uncle, Dr. Sherlock, was rector. To this circum-
stance he was indebted for his introduction to the
Stanley family, from whom, in 1697, he received
the bishopric of Sodor and Man. The annual re-
ceipts of his new preferment did not exceed
£300. in money, out of which small stipend and
the produce of his demesnes he contrived to
maintain his house, to relieve distressed mai'iners,
and feed and clothe the poor of the island. His
life was, in fact, one uniform display of the most
genuine and active benevolence, considering hiiu-

self as the steward, not tlie proprietor, of tlio
revenues of the bishopric, he devoted his iuconie
to what he esteemed its proper use. The poor
who could spin or weave found the best market at
Bisiiop's Court, where tiiev bartered tiie produce
of ilieir labour for cum. Tailors and shoeniaJiers
were kept in tlie house constantly employed, to
make into <;^Mrnients or shoes the cloth or leather
which his corn had purchased ; and the aged and
infirm were supi)lied accordino^ to their several
wants. At the same time he ke])t an open, hos-
pitable table, covered with the produce of his
own demesnes, and to which all sects and parties
were alike welcome. To the duties of his sacred
function he applied himself with the utmost
zeal, and endeavoured by his exhortations and
example to animate the clergy of the island to
a regular and faithful discharge of their pastoral
otfice. So great indeed was his perseverance, and
so successful his endeavours, that Lord Chan-
cellor King used to declare that, " if the ancient
discipline of tjje church were elsewhere lost,
it might still be found in all its purity in the Isle
of i\lan." In 1707, the degree of D.D. was
conferred upon him by the universities of Oxford
and Cambridge ; and in the same year he ])rinted
the church catechism in Manks and English, for
the use of the schools which he had established
in various parts of his diocese, and which he
superintended with the greatest care. About the
year 1722, the orthodoxv of his spirit seems to
have involved him in altercations and difficulties.
Mrs. Home, the wife of the governor of the
island, had defamed Mrs. Puller and Sir Robert
Pool, and in consequence being contumacious,
and refusing to ask pardon of the persons injured,
was interdicted by the bishop from the holv
communion. But his archdeacon, Mr. Horribin,
who was chaplain to Ca|)tain Home, received the
ladv.and incurred suspension in consequence at the
hands of his lordship. The governor conceiving
this to be a stretch of power beyond the law fined
the bishop in the sum of £30. and his two vicars-
general in that of £20. each ; and on their re-
fusing to discharge those arbitrary penalties, com-
mitted them all to Castle Rushin, a damp and
gloomv prison, where Dr. Wilson was treated
with the utmost rigour. The bishop appealed to
the lords justices, when the proceedings of the go-
vernor were declared extrajudicial and irregular,
and the fines were ordered to be restored. His
lordship survived until his ninety-third year,
when he expired on the 7th March, 1755, univer-
sally esteemed and lamented. His attachment to
his flock had been so sincere, that no temptation
(he had been offered the valuable see of Exeter)
could seduce him from the services of his little
diocese.

His works, consisting of religious tracts and
sermons, were collected by his son, and published
iu 1780.

DYMOCK, OF PENLEY HALL AND ELLESMERE.

Hincaac.

Here we have another branch of the nu-
merous descendants of TuDUR Trevor, (see
family of Vaughan, of Burlton Hall, p.
239), to whom so many of the principal fa-
milies of North Wales, and the marches
thereof, trace their origin.

Rys Sais, so called because he could speak,
the Saxon or English language, possessed
great estates in North Wales and Shrop-
shire at the period of the Norman con-
quest, which he divided among his sons in
the year 1070. His eldest son, Tudur, was
father of Bleddyn, the father of Owen,
who had several children : one of these,
Thomas, was father of Meilir, who resided
at Bryn, in Halghton, in the parish of Han-
mer, and was ancestor of the Pennants, of
Downing, Bichton, &c. Another son of
Owen ap Bleddyn was Owen Vychan, fa-
ther of CADWYAN,thefatherofRiRiD, whose
son,

Madoc ap Ririd, espoused Margaret,
daughter of Ithel Anwyl, a chieftain of
Tegengl, (as most of Flintshire was at that
period called by the Welsh), and had a son
and successor,

David ap Madoc, who, according to the
mode of address then used in Wales, was
called " Dai Madoc ; " for David ap Madoc
would thus be spoken, Dai being the dimi-
nutive of David. He m. Margaret, daugh-
ter and heir of Tudur ap Ririd, of Penley,
by whom he acquired that estate, and had
a son and heir,

David ap Dai Madoc, whose name, by
mutation of address, was David Dai Marine,
that is David, the son of Dai (David) Ma-
doc, and from the mode of expression then
customary David Dai Madoc became David
Damoc, or Dymock, for it is written both
ways in ancient manuscripts. Hencefor-
ward Damoc or Dymock became the adopted
surname of the family. David Dai Madoc,

who lived at Willington, in the county of
Flint, wedded Margaret, daughter of David
Voel, of Hanmer, (son of David, one of the
sons of Sir John Hopton, or Upton, of Bet-
tisfield, in Hanmer, lineal male ancestor of
the Hanmers, of Hanmer, now represented
by Sir John Hanmer, hart.), and had a son,
I EUAN Dymock, of Penley and Willing-
ton, in the county of Flint, father, by Lucy
his wife, daughter of Richard ap Madoc ap
Llewelyn, of Halghton, in the same shire, of
Thomas Dymock, hen* esq. of Penley
and Willington. This gentleman m. Mar-
garet, daughter and heir of Griffith ap Mor-
gan Goch, of Willington Hall, by whom he
acquired that estate, and had issue. He d.
6th December, 1487, and was s. by his son,
Thomas Dymock, esq. of Willington Hall
and Penley, who m. Margaret, daughter of
Sir Randle Brereton, knt. of Malpas, in
the county of Chester, and dying ten days
after his father, 16th December, 1487, was
s. by his eldest son,

Randle Dymock, esq. of Willington and
Penley, who wedded Elizabeth, daughter
of Griffith Hanmer, esq. of Fens, and had
two sons, viz.

Humphrey, m. to Elen, daughter of
William Davies, esq. and had one
son, Randle, who d. s. p. and four
daughters.
Edward.
The second son,

Edward Dymock, esq. married four times,

and by three of his wives had issue. By

tlie first, Catherine, daughter of Richard

Conway, esq. he had two sons, Humphrey

and Randle, who both died s. p. and five

daughters. By the second, Magdalen, dau.

of Roger Puleston, esq. as appears by a

deed dated in 1622, he had another son,

William, who succeeded to the estates,

[ The third wife, Catherine, daughter of Wil-

l liam Mostyn, esq. died without issue; and

; the fourth, Margaret, daughter of Thomas

i Kynaston, esq. left one son, Thomas, and

a daughter, Anne. He was s. by his elder

WENTWORTH, OF WOOLLEY.

Hinracie.

Erlif

Tliis is a distinguished and powerful
branch of the ancient stock of Went-
worth Woodhouse, in the county of York,
a family which has been rooted there
from the earliest period to which the ge-
nealogist can usually ascend in his in-
vestigations. Of the orthography of the
lands, whence originated the name, Domes-
day Book, and all the old charters have it
Winteicorth, and such is still the pronun-
ciation of the common people, who do not
easily fall into new modes of speech. As
to its derivation, Mr. Hunter, " in his His-
tory of Doncaster," makes the following
remarks : " The latter half of the name
(worth), is one of the most frequent local
terminals, and appears to denote some de-
gree of cultivation. The former half affords
room for conjecture. It has been suggested
that it may be the word c/ivint, preserved in
the Breton language, wliich is a dialect of
the Celtic, where it denotes elevation. This
sense would undoubtedly apply well to
Wentworth, which stands high, as does also
another place of the same name, in the isle
of Ely, relatively to the fens around it.
Celtic etymologies are, however, to be ad-
mitted w-ith great caution in investigating
the names of places cultivated or populated ;
and perhaps the scribe of Domesday, who,
in one of the five instances in which the
word occurs, has written it thus, Wintrer-
uorde, may have presented us with an
ancient and expiring orthography from
whence we may conclude that the name of
Wentworth is to be classed with Wintrer-
ton, Winterburn, Winteredge, and other
places which have obtained those names
from their high exposed or cold situations."

While the lands of Wentworth Wood-
house continued to be the seat of the chiefs,
and descended from sire to son, in an im-
broken series, till the succession of male

heirs failed with William, the second earl
of Strafl'ord, the junior scions of the family
founded, in several instances, houses of
rank and influence, the Wentworths of
WooLLEY, of North and South Elmsal,*
of Bretton,t of \Yentworth Castle,^ of Net-
tlested,^ Ike.

Thomas Wentworth, of Wentworth
Woodhouse, son of William Wentworth, by
Isabel, his wife, daughter of Sir Richard
Fitzwilliam, of Aldwark, succeeded to the
estates and representation of the family, in
the 23rd of Henry VII. He wedded Bea-
trix, daughter of Sir Richard Woodruffe,
knt. of Woolley, whose house was then
in the plenitude of its prosperity, and had
issue,

I. WiLLiAM,of Wentworth Woodhouse,
who enjoyed the estates only a few
months, dying 4th July, 1549. He
m. Catherine, daughter of Ralph
Beeston, of Beeston, and was s. by
his son,

Thomas Wentworth, esq. of
Wentworth Woodhouse, high

* The Wentworths of North Elmsal acquired
that estate temp. Edward III. in marriage with
Alice, daughter and heiress of John Bissett, and
continued tliere for several centuries, until the
year 1741, when their male line expired with Sir
Butler Cavendish Wentworth, hart, the estates
devolving on that gentleman's half sister, Cathe-
rine Wentworth, who wedded Hugh Cholmley,
esq. of Whitby, in the countv of York, M.P. for
Hedon, and sheriff of that shire in 1724. The
Wentworths of SorTH Elmsal sprung from a
younger son of Thomas Wentworth, of North
Elmsal, are also now extinct.

t The Wentworths of Bretton, deriving from
Richard Wentworth, of Everton, in the countv
of Nottingham, third son of John Wentworth, of
Elmsal, by Agnes, his wife, sister and co-heir of
Sir William Dronsfield, of Bretton, became ex-
tinct in the male line upon the demise of Sir
Thomas Wentworth Blackett, hart. 9th July,
1792. The estates of Bretton, &c. are now en-
joyed bv the Beaumont family, (see vol. ii. p. 523).

i The Wentworths of Wentworth Castle
were founded by Sir William Wentworth, of
Ashby, in Lincolnshire, slain at Marston ]\Ioor,
who was a younger son of Sir A\'illiam Went-
worth, hart, of Wentworth Woodhouse, and
brother to Thomas, first earl of Straftbrd. They
became extinct in the male line in 1799. The
estates are now possessed bv Frederic Thomas
William Vernon Wentworth, esq. of Wentworth
Castle, (see vol. ii. p. 81).

§ For an account of the Wentworths of Net-
tlested, earls of Cleveland, and barons Went-
worth, now represented bv Anna Isabella, Dow-
ager Lady Byron, and the Hon. Nathaniel Curzon,
between whom the barony of Wentworth is in

Peerage.

Gargrave,* esq. of Nostcl.

* Few names are of move frequent occurrence
in the affairs of the West Riding of Yorkshire,
than that of Gargrave, derived, it is presumed,
from a village so called, in Craven. The first
recorded ancestor of the family of Sir John Gar-
grave, who was tutor to Richard, duke of York,
and a warrior as well as scholar, served under
Hknry V. as master of the ordnance in France.
He was direct progenitor of Sir Thomas Gar-
grave, speaker of the house of Commons, who
purchasing in the 9th F^lizaeeth, Nostel, with
other estates in the county of York, established
his family there. His son and heir,

Sir Cotton Gargrave, knt. of Nostel, wedded
first, Bridget, daughter of Sir William Fairfax, of
Steeton, and by her had to survive himself, an
only son, Thomas, of Nostel, who married, as in

Whitley, esq. of Whitley, in Yorkshire,
and had by her, who died in 1560, three
sons and three daughters. He died 13tU
October, 1558, and in the inquisition taken
the 30th of the following April, it is found
tiiat his son and heir,

Thomas Wentworth, esq. of Mendara
Priory, in Suffolk, and of Whitley, in the
county of York, was then aged seventeen
years and two months. This gentleman es-
poused Susan, dau. of Christopher Hopton,
esq. of Armley Hall, in the latter shire, and
had (with two daughters, Beatrix, m. to
John Green, esq. of Dean Grange, in Hors-
forth, and Mary, the wife of Robert Con-
Sir Cotton espoused secondly, Agnes, dauuliter
of Tliomas Waterton, esq. of Walton, and bad

beth, m. William Fenwick, esq. of Stanton, and
another, Frances, m. Stephen Tempest, esq. of
Broughton), a son,

Sir Richard Gargrave, knt. of Kinsley and
Nostel, sheriff' of Yorkshire, ord James I. wlio,
by a course of extravagant and wanton expendi-
ture, was forced to sell his estates, and became so
reduced in circumstances, that Dodsworth, writing
in 1634, speaking of him says, " that he now Iveth
in the Temple for Sanctuary, having consumed his
whole estate, to the value of £3J00 per annum,
at the least, and hath not a penny to maintain
himself, but what the purchasers of some part of
his lands, in reversion after his mother's death,
allow him, in hope he will survive his mother,
who hatli not consented to the sale."

Bevond this (says Mr. Hunter) I have not
been able to trace him. The memory of his ex-
travagance and his vices 3'et lingers about Kins-
ley. The rustic moralist still ])oints his counsel
with the story of Sir Richard Gargrave, who
could once ride on his own land from Wakelield
to Doncaster, and had horses innumerable at his
command, but was at last reduced to travel with
the pack-horses to London, and was found dead
in an old ostelry with his head upon a pack-
saddle.

LUCY, OF CHARLECOTE.

LUCY, GEORGE, esq. of Charlecote, in the county of Warwick, h. 8th June,

Mary-Emily, b. 2nd February, 1826.
Caroline, b. 13th January, 1828.

Mr. Lucy succeeded his father on the 12th January,
1823. He was M.P. for the borough of Fowey, Corn-
wall, from 1820 to 1830, and sheriff of the county of
Warwick in 1831.

Umeage.

Thurstane de Charlecote, supposed to
have been a younger son of Thurstane de
Montfort,* of Beldesert, in the county of
Warwick, tetnp. Richard I. was father of

Sir Walter de Charlecote, upon whom
Henry de Montfort conferred the villap^e of
Charlecote, and the grant was confirmed by
Richard I. who added divers immunities
and privileges, which were all ratified by
Kinff John in the fifth year of that monarch's
reign (1203). Sir Walter left a son,

Sir William de Lucy, the first of the
Charlecotes who bore that surname, and
Sir William Dugdale surmises that he did
so because his mother mi(/ht have been the
heir of some branch of the great baronial
family of Lucy, which had derived its de-
siguation from a place in Normandy. Of
tliis house was Henry de Lucy, governor
of Palais, so distinguished during the con-
flict between A"m</ Stephen and the Empress
Maud, who was afterwards, in the time of
Henry II. justiciary of England; and at
one period, in the temporary absence of
the king beyond sea, lieutenant of the king-
dom.

Sir William de Lucy had a confirmation
of the lordship of Charlecote from Thurston
de Montfort, son and successor of the Thur-
stane de Montfort above specified. He took
up arms with the barons against Kinr/ John,

* For the Momforts see Burke's Extinct and
Dormant Peerage.

when his lands were all seized by the
crown ; but returning to his allegiance, he
had a full restoration in the first year of the
ensuing monarch. In the 20th of Henry
III. Sir William had the custody of the
counties of Warwick and Leicester, with
the castle of Kenilworth. He married,
first, Isabel, daughter of Absalom de Alder-
monstone ; and secondly, Maud, sister and
one of the co-heirs of John Cotele. He
founded the monastery of Thelesford, and
dying about the 32nd Henry III. (1247)
was succeeded by the son of his second
marriage.

Sir William Lucy, knt. of Charlecote,
who wedded Amicia, daughter and heiress
ofW^illiam de Furches, and heiress like-
wise of William Fitz-Warine, bywhom he
had a son and heir,

FouK DE Lucy, of Charlecote (in the im-
mediate retinue of the celebrated Peter de
Montfort), who, after the battle of Lewes,
temp. Henry III. was constituted one of the
nine governors of the kingdom. De Lucy
acquired so much reputation by his gallan-
try in the Baron's war, that being indebted
to one Elyas de Blund, a Jew, of London,
in a large amount, he obtained a special
mandate,dated49thHENRY 111.(1264) and di-
rected to the commissioners in whose hands
the estates of the Jews then seized upon
were entrusted, to deliver up to him all his
bonds, and to cancel the debt. Subse-
quently, however, the royal cause having
attained the ascendancy by the victorious
arms of Prince Edward, De Lucy and his

associates wore glad to coniproniise for their
estates under the Dicluni de KenUnorlli.
" This Fouk," says Dundale, " was a spe-
cial lover of good iiorscs, as it would seem,
for in the lllh of Edwaud I. he gave forty
marks to two Londoners tliat were merchants
of horses, for a black cliarger, about which
time a fat o\ Was sold for sixteen shillings."
He died in the 31st of Edwaud L (1302) and
was s. by his son.

Sir William Lucy, of Charlecote, a
person of celelirity in his generation, and re-
presentative in several ])arlianients for tlu;
county of Warwick. He was succeeded by
his son,

Sir William Lt'CY, of Charlecote, who
received a military summons in the IJith of
Edward IH. to attend the king into France,
but being then joined in commission with
the sheriff to array one hundred and sixty
archers in Warwickshire for the king's ser-
vice, his attendance was dispensed with,
and he was thereby deprived of sharing in
the glory of Cressy. He died in three
years afterwards (22nd Edward III. 1348)
and was *. by his son,

Thomas Lucy, of Charlecote, who was s.
at his decease by his son,

Sir William Lucy, of Charlecote, who
being a knight was retained in the 5th
Richard II. (1381) to serve John of Gaunt,
Duke of Lancaster and King of Castile,
for life, with one esquire, in times of war
and peace. In the first year of the next
king he represented the county of Warwick
in parliament. His son and successor.

Sir Thomas Lucy, of Charlecote, was
also in the retinue of John of Gaunt. In
the 7th of Henry IV. (1405) he was mem-
ber of parliament for Warwickshire, and
the next year sheriff for the counties of
Warwick and Leicester. He wedded Alice,
daughter, and eventually heiress, of Sir
William Hugford, and acquired by that lady
a fair inheritance in tlie counties of Jiedford
and Salop. He died 28th July, 3rd Henry
V. (1415), leaving by the siiid Alice (who
married, in eight weeks after his decease,
Richard Archer, of Tamworth) a son and
successor,

William Lucy, of Charlecote, who dur-
ing his minority was in ward to John Bo-
teler, of Warrington. Upon the decease of
Elizabeth Lady Clinton, in the 2nd of
Henry VI. (1423) lie was found to be her
cousin and next heir. In the war of the
Roses, William Lucy arrayed liimself under
the banner of the house of York. He
wedded Elizabeth, daughter of Reginald,
Lord Grey de Rtithyn, and dying in tlic
6tli Edward IV. (1466) was succeeded by
liis son,

Sir William Lucy, of Charlecote, cre-
ated a knight of the Bath at the coronation
of Henry the Seventh's queen. He es-
poused, first, Margaret, daughter of John
Brecknock, treasurer to Kinc/ Henry VI. ;
and secondly, Alice, daughter of William
Hanbury. He died in 1492, and was suc-
ceeded by his eldest son by his first wife,

Edmund Lucy, esq. of Charlecote, born
in 14G4, who appears to have been a soldier
of high repute in the reign of Henry VII.
for we find him in command of a division
of the royal army at the battle of Stoke,
and afterwards retained to serve the king
in his French wars, with two men at arms.
He was summoned, 10th Henry VII. (1494),
with other persons of rank, to attend at
the creation of the king's son, the Duke
of York, to be made a knight of the Bath ;
but it seems he did not appear, for in the
April following (1495) 11th Henry VII.
his testament bears date, and in that he
is styled esquire. He Avedded Elizabeth,
daughter and heiress of Walter Tramsing-
ton, by whom he had no issue ; and se-
condly, Jane, daughter of Richard Ludlow,
and was succeeded at his decease (the pro-
bate of his testament being 19th May, 1498,

The Irwins of Tanragoe have maintained
a position of great respectability amongst the
gentry of the county of Sligo, since their
settlement in Ireland^ but from which branch
of the Scottish Irvines or Trvings, they de-
scend has not been ascertained. The pe(;u-
liar name ofCritius, borne by members of the

Abi'thna?, the second husband of the mother
of Duncan, king of Scotland, to whom and
his descendants that monarch granted the
privilege of bearing the thistle as a crest.

John Irwin, esq. who wedded a daughter

remained there to the following April only.
During the civil war of the reign of Chari.es
I. he took an active part, and raised a troop

of horse for the service of the parliament.
In the constable's accounts for the parish of
Friskney, one shilling is charged as given
to Captain Massingberd's cornet, towards
his colours. Another item is, " spent by
two soldiers, sent to the town by Mr.
Mashcnberd and Mr, Misserdine, two shil-
lings," Another, '* for a horse from John
Cotes, of Boston, being sent to Captain
Massingberd from the committee at Bos-
ton, one shilling."* So warmly did he
espouse the parliamentary cause that both
his brother, Sir Drayner, and himself were
indicted at Grantham for high treason. In
1658, the protector, Cromwell, created him
a BARONET, and the preamble in the patent
states the honour to be conferred " as well
for his faithfulness and good aftection to
us and his countrey, as for his descent, pa-
trimony, ample estate, and ingenious educa-
tion, every way answerable, who out of a
liberal mind hath undertaken to maintain
thirty foot souldiers in our dominion of Ire-
land, for three whole years." The original
patent, which was renewed at the restora-
tion, the family still preserve. It bears
the initials of Oliver's Christian name,

Uiueac^e.

Owing, it is stated, to the destruction of
the parish registry of Ennis, in the county
of Clare, there is no possibility of now as-
certaining the actual founder of this family
in Ireland. He is presumed to have been a
Thomas WiiSTBY, son of Major Westby,
of RavvcliflV, in the county of Lancaster,
wlio settled at Clonmel. (See vol. i. page
699.) Of this Thomas little is known, nei-
ther the name of his wife nor the time of
his death : he is supposed, however, to have
left the following issue,

Nicholas, of Ennis, in the county of

Clare.
James, who had a son and daughter,
namely,

Nicholas, who died unm. in 1729.

Mary, died unm. in 1775.

This laird spent a great portion of the
family estates in the royal cause during
the civil wars, and his second son, James,
left the college of Saint Andrews to join
the standard of their chief, the gallant
Marquis of Montrose; in the account of
whose public funeral, A.D. 16()1, by Bishop
Wisliart, the father and son are thus men-
tioned : — " The pnrse carried by David
Graham, of Fentrie ; this noble gentleman's
predecessor was the son of the Lord Gra-
ham, then head of the house of Montrose,
who, upon a second marriage on King
James the First his sistc r, begot the first
baron of Fentry, which, in a direct male
line, hath coiitii\ued to this baron ; and as
their birth was high, so their (pialifirations
have in every respect been great, for in all

ages since their rise, nothing unbecoming
loyal suhjects or persons of honour could
be laid to their charge, and lie who pos-
sesseth it now can claim as large a share as
any ol his aiu-estors.

liaron of Fentry, a gentleman which no-
thing coidd ever startle from his majesty's

l)raises." David Graham was succeeded
by his son,

espoused the Lady Margaret Scrvuigeour,
only child of James, Earl of Dundee, by
the Lady Marjiaret Kanisey his wife, daugh-

the elder,

Sir William Graham, of Claverhouse,
he was succeeded. This laird augmented con-
siderably the family estates, and obtained by
charter, under the great seal, the lands and
barony of Ogilvie. He 7n. the Lady Jean
Carnegie, fourth daughter of John, first
earl of Northesk, and had two sons, John
and David; and two daughters, Margaret,
in. to Sir Robert Graham, of Morphy ; and
Anne, tn. to Robert Young, of Auldbar. Sir
William was succeeded by his elder son,

John Graham, of Claverliouse, a dis-
tinguished, perhaps tlie most distinguished
soldier of the era in which lie lived. Ani-
mated from his earliest years by the study
of the poets and orators of antiquity, as well
as by the traditionary songs of the highland
bards, Claverhouse entered, at a very
youthful age, on a military life, and served
in the low countries against the French in
the war of 167-2, eminently signalizing him-
self at the battle ofSeneff. Shortly after-
ward he returned home, and obtained a
regiment from Charles U. for the especial
purpose of , forcing the non-conformists into
communion with the established church.

During the progress of the war which en-
sued, his success was varied. In I67!>, he
attacked a conventicle on Loudoun llill, in
Ayrshire, and afti-r a close and furious en-
gagement at Drumclog, suffered defeat, but
retrieved his fortune in the well known ac-
tion of Hothwell Bridge : the acts of cru-
elty, lio\v(!ver, which followed, and which
procured for Graham the appellation of
liluudy t'lnvers, hav»; indelibly tarnished
his gallantry and reputation. Li palliation,
he justified the course Ik; had a(lopt<'(l by
the allegation that " terror was true mercy,
if it put an end to, or prevented war."
After the flight of James H. by whom he
had been created Yi.scouM' Divdke, and
during the consequent proceedings in Scot-
land, Claverhouse became chiefly conspicu-
ous. When the ill-fated king withdrew to
Rochester, he endeavoured to dissuade his
departure from the kingdom : " Give me
your majesty's commission to raise ten
thousand of the disbanded soldiers," said
the gallant and sanguine Dundee, " and
marching through England with the royal
standard at our head, we will drive the
Dutch invader at the point of ithe sword
into the sea."* This counsel proving inef-
fective, Graham proceeded with his dra-
goons to Stirling, and there called a parlia-
ment of the friends of the abdicated mo-
narch. The convention sent a party to ap-
prehend him ; but he retired into Lockabar,
and summoning a general rendezvous of
the clans, raised upwards of two thousand
men. With these he marched to Blair, in
AtlioU, and Mackay, King William's gene-
ral, advancing with four thousand foot and
two troops of horse, they met at the pass of
Killicranky, on the 17th June, 16H9. Mackay
drew up his men in order of battle, and wished
to bring on the engagement without delay ;
but the Scottish commander well knowing
that night would be of advantage to the
highlanders, whether successful or defeated,
delayed the attack until half an hour before
sunset ; at that moment he ordered his troops
to rush down from their station and begin
the conflict in a series of small columns on
the wings of the enemy, calculating that
this onset was most likely to bring on an

Such had been the disposition of Dundee's

* At a subsequent period, Dundee unsuccess-
fully conjured his royal master, who was wasting
time and means in Ireland, to embark, with a par't
of his army for Scotland, where his presence would
fix the wavering, and intimidate the timid, and
where hosts of shepherds would start up warriors
at the first wave of his banner on their mountains.

GRAHAM, OF FINTRY.

Scotch proved irresistible ; Mackay fled,
defeated with tlie loss of two thousand
men, and escaped to Stirling, apprehensive
of the pursuit of Dundee. But the gallant
Graham was no more. After a desperate con-
flict with the enemy's artillery, he returned
to cut off the retreat, but at the moment that
his arm was extended to his troops, he re-
ceived a shot through an opening in his ar-
mour,* and dropped from horseback as he
attempted to ride oif tlie field. He survived,
however, to write a concise and dignified
account of his success to jAMES.f Had he
lived to improve this important victory, little
doubt can be entertained that he would have
recovered the whole of Scotland beyond the
Forth. But his death was fatal to his party,
by whom his memory has been cherished, al-
most to adoration, and a poet thus patheti-
cally addresses his shade, and bewails the
loss sustained by Scotland ;

Ultime Scotorum, potuit quo sospite solo ^

Libertas patriae salva fuisse tuse
Te moriente novos accepit Scotia cives

" Graham of Claverhouse," says Sir
Walter Scott, " was low of stature, and
slightly, though elegantly formed , his ges-
ture, language, and manners were those of
one whose life had been spent among the
noble and the gay. His features exhibited
even feminine regularity, an oval face, a
straight and well formed nose, dark hazel
eyes, a complexion just sufficiently tinged
with brown to save it from the charge of
effeminacy, a short upper lip curved like
that of a Grecian statue, and slightly shaded
by small mustachios of light brown, joined

t King William hearing that the express dis-
patched to Edinburgh with the account of the de-
feat had been detained a day on the road, ex-
claimed, " Dundee must certainly have fallen,
otherwise he would have been there before it could
have arrived." At a later period, William being
urged to reinforce the troops in Scotland, leplied,
" It is needless : the war died with Dundee."

to a profusion of long curled locks of the
same colour which fell down on each side of
his face, contributed to form such a counte-
nance as limners like to paint, and ladies
to look upon. The severity of his character,
as well as the higher attributes of undaunted
and enterprising valour which even his
enemies were compelled to admit, lay con-
cealed under an exterior which seemed
adapted to the court or the saloon, rather
than to the field. The same gentleness and
gaiety of expression which rpigned in his
features seemed to inspire his actions and
gestures ; and, on the whole he was gene-
rally esteemed, at first sight, rather quali-
fied to the votary of pleasure than ambition.
JJut under this soft exterior was hidden a
spirit unbounded in daring, and in aspiring,
yet cautious and prudent as that of Ma-
chiavel himself. Profound in politics,
and imbued of course with that disregard
for individual rights which its intrigues
usually generate, this leader was cool and
collected in danger, fierce and ardent in
[lursuing success, careless of death himself,
and ruthless in inflicting it upon others.*
Such are the characters fornied in times of
civil discord, when the highest qualities, per-
verted by party spirit, and inflamed by
habitual opposition, are too often combined
with vices and excesses which deprive them
at once of their merit and of their lustre."

Lord Dundee »«. Jean, youngest daughter
of William Lord Cochrane, and by her
(who wedded secondly), William, third Lord
Kilsyth, had a son,

James, second Viscount Dundee, who
died young, in December, 1689, and was
succeeded by his uncle,

David, third Viscount Dundee,who fought
at Killicranky, and was outlawed. He died
without issue in 1700.

* All other punishments save death disgraced,
he said, a gentleman, and all who were with him
were of that rank, but that death was a relief
from the consciousness of crime. It is reported,
that having seen a youth fly in his first action,
Dundee pretended he had sent him to the rear on
a message ; the youth fled a second time ; — he
brought him to the front of the army, and declaring
that " a gentleman's son ought not to fall by the
hands of a common executioner," shot him with
his own pistol.

This gentleman, who is in the commission of the peace
and a deputy lieutenant for Perthshire, succeeded his
father in 1812.

Umtac^f.

This family is directly descended from
Sir V\ illiiiiii Graliaiu, of Kinciirdiiie, an-
cestor of fbr (hiciil lioiist' of jNIontrose,
through a priuctss of the royal line of Scot-
land.

The first who appears on record is

William de Graham, who settled iu
Scotland under Kiiig 1>avid I. He ob-
tained from that monarcli a grant of the
lauds of Abercorn and Dalkeith, and wit-
nessed the charter to the monks of Holy-
roodhouse in 1128. Directly descended
from him was

Sm William Graham, of Kincardine,
styled iu the charters, " Williclums domi-
nus de Grame de Kincardin." He was
commissioner to treat with the English,
11th December, 1406; had a safe conduct
into England, loth May, 1412, and another
from thence to Scotland about the release
of James I., 16th April, 1413. A charter
was granted 4th August, 1420, " Willielmo
Domino de Grame militi et Mariotaj Stew-
art, Sorori Roberti Ducis Albaniye Spouste
dicti Willielmi," of the lands of Auld Mon-
trose, Kinnaber, and Charleton, in the county
of Forfar.

By his first marriage Sir William Gra-
ham had two sons, from the elder of whom
descends the fiimily of Montrose. He w.
secondly, the Lady Mary Stuart, second
daughter of Ki7tff Robert IH., relict of
George, Earl of Angus, and Sir James Ken-
nedy, of Duumure, and subsequently the

wife of Sir Archibald Edmonstone, of Dun-
treith, and by her he had several sons, of
whom,

I. Sir Robert Graham, of Strathcar-
ron, was ancestor of Grahams, of
Fintry, of Claverhouse, Viscounts of
Dundee, and the Grahams of Dun-
troon (see p. 120).

II. Patrick, was consecrated Bishop of
Brechin, 1463, translated to the epis-
copal see of St. Andrews, 1466.

III. William, was the

Graeme, of Garvock, and direct ancestor
of the present family. He was a soldier,
and for his faithful services to Kinff James
I. his uncle, obtained, in early life, a grant
of the lands and barony of Garvock, which
was afterwards confirmed in 1473, and from
him the estate has descended iu the direct
line, from father to son, to the present time,
as appears from documents in the family
charter chest. He lived to an advanced
age, and left a son,

Matthew le Graeme, of Garvock, who
succeeded to William in 1502, but died soon
afterw ards, being advanced in years before
his father's death. He was succeeded by
his son,

Archibald Gr.-eme, who fell at the dis-
asteroiis battle of Flodden, on 9th Septem-
ber, 1613, leaving a son and successor,

John Gr*me, of Garvock, who married
first, Mirabell Whyte, daughter of John
Whyte, of Lumbany, and secondly, Katha-

GRAEME, OF GARVOCK.

rine Arnot, daughter of Walter Arnot, of
that Ilk, ill 1545. He left two sons,

I. James, who succeeded him.

II. John, of Balo-owan, ancestor of the
Grahams, of Balgowan, and of the
gallant Lord Lyndock, tlie hero of
Barrosa. Among the sheriff" records at
Perth, (tnno 15H6, there exist several
contracts entered into betwixt " Jolin
Graham, of Garvock, and John Gra-
ham, of Balgourre his sone." In the
same record and year, there is also
mention made of " John Graham, of
Balgourre, and Marjorie Rollock
his spouse," designed " Lady Incli-
braikie." She was eldest daughter
of Andrew Rollo, of Duncrub, and
widow of George Gramme, of Inch-
braco.

Jamks Gr.eme, of Garvock, succeeded to
his father, John, and married Janet Bonar,
daugliter of Bonar, of Kelty, in 1571, by
whom lie had issue. He was succeeded by
liis eldest son,

NiMAN Gk.eme, wlio m. Elizabeth Oli-
phant, daughter of Laurence Oliphaut, of
Fergandenny, in 1606, and by lier he was
fatlier of

John Gii.eme, of Garvock, who m. Agnes
Di ummond, daugliter of (ieorge Drumraond,
of Balloch, in 1638. Tliis lady had only
one brother, who was of weak intellect,
and sold tlie estate of Ballock to the Earl
of Perth, for the trifling sum of a bodle (a
small Scotch coin) per day during his life-
time. Her son, James Grsme, of Garvock,
afterwards disputed the validity of the
sale, claiming the estate through his mother,
but tlie cause was tried before the earl liim-
self, who was then chancellor of Scotland,
and he decided in liis own favour.

James Gk.t.me, of Garvock, succeeded to
liis father, John, and on the 14th December,
1677, he was served heir-in-general of John
Graham, of Balgowan, (the second of that
family) by a retour of that date upon re-
cord, wherein tlie latter is designed the son
of the brother of liis great grandfather,
" Jacobus Grahame de Garvock haeres Jo-
annis Grahame de Balgown Jilii fratis pro-
avi." He purchased from Haldane, of
Gleneagles, the lands of Kippen, a property
in Strathern, about two miles distant from
Garvock, which is still in the family. He

married Anne Stewart, daughter of John
Stewart, of Arntullie and Cardneys, in 1678,
and was s. by liis eldest son,

James Gk.eme, who married, first, Amelia,
daughter of Sir Robert Moray, of Aber-
cairney, by whom he had three sons, James,
John, and Robert, and two daughters, Anna
and Elizabeth. He married, secondly, in
17-20, Bettie Bell, sister of Charles Bell, of
Craigfovelie, but by her he had no issue.
He was s. by his youngest and only sur-
viving son,

Robert Gr/emr, who married, in 1736,
Katherine, daughter of James Oliphaut, esq.
of Gask, by whom he had four sons, James,
Lawrence, Charles - James - Stewart, and
Robert, with two daughters, Amelia-Anna-
Sophia and Margaret. This laird was in-
volved in the rising of 1745, after which lie
escaped to France, and entered into the
French service, where he remained for se-
veral years, leaving his estate to his eldest
son. He returned, however, afterwards,
and died in his native country. He was s.
by his son,

James Gr.t.me, of Garvock, who married,

mn/

This ancient family, than wliicli iew can
claim a liioher or more illustrious descent,
derives from Walchelin, a Norman, whose
son,

Henry Ferrers, assumed the name from
Ferriers, a small town of Gastinois, in
France, otherwise called Ferrieres from
the iron mines, with wliieh tliat country
abounded, and in allusion to the circum-
stance, he bore for his arms " .six horses'
shoes," either from the similitude of his
cognomen to the French Ferrier, or because
the seigneurie produced iron, so essential to
the soldier and cavalier in those rude times,
when war was esteemed the chief business
of life, and the adroit management of tlie
steed, even amongst the nobility, the first of
accomplisliments. Henry de Ferrers came
into England with The Conqi'Ekor, and ob-
tained a grant of Tutbury Castle, in the

county of Stafford. He m. Bertha ,

and had issue,

Stephen's victory over David of Scotland
at Northallerton, was created by that mo-
narch Earl of Derby. He was lineal an-
cestor of

William de Ferrers, seventh earl of
Derby, who married, for his second wife,
Margaret, daughter and co-heir of Roger
de Quinci, earl of Winchester, and had two
sons,

1. Robert, eighth earl of Derby, (for
detail, see Burke's Extinct and Dor-
mant Peerac/e). whose eldest son,
John de Ferrers, inherited Chart-
ley Castle, and was summoned
to parliament 27th Edward I.
as Baron Ferrers, of Chartley.
His last male descendant,
William de Ferrers, sixth Baron
Ferrers, of Chartley, left at his
decease, 28th Henry VI. an only

Motto — Splendio tritus.

Estate — Baddesley Clinton, in the Hem-
lingford Hundred of the county of War-
wick.

Seat — Baddesley Clinton Hall, eight miles
from Warwick. This ancient mansion re-
ceived its first name from Bade, a Saxon,
who held it in the time of Edward the Con-
fessor, and its second from Sir Thomas de
Clinton, of Coshill, who obtained the estate
temp. Henry HI. in right of his wife Mar-
gery, daughter and heiress of James de Be-
siege, whence, after various transmissions,
it passed by purchase, in the reign of Henry
IV. to John Brome, a wealthy lawyer of
Warwick, who resided in a house at the
north end of the bridge, which long retained
the name of Brome Place : at his decease,
in consequence of a wound received in a
dispute with one John Hear thill, the manor

of Baddesley devolved on his son, Nichola.s
Brome, and snbsctpieiitly by the marriage
of his daughter, Constance, on Sir Edward
Ecrnrs, grandson of Sir Thomas Ferrers,
of Tamworth Castle. The hall is a struc-
ture of very ancient date, though the time
of its erection is not exactly known ; it is a
stone building of low elevation, but of con-
sidtral)Ie extent ; forming three sides of a
square, of which the fourth, if it ever existed,
has long since disappeared : a moat sur-
rounds the mansion, and a bridge conducts
to the entrance, leading through the lofty
arch of an embattled gateway into the inner
court.

The History of Baddesley Clinton,

By Henry Ferrers, esq. the Antiquary,

temp. Elizabeth.

This soiite and soyle from Saxon, Bade, a man of

honest fame,
Who held it in the Saxon's tyme, of Baddesley

took the name,
When Edward King the Confessor did weare the

English crown,
The same was then possest by a man of some

renowne ;
And England being conqiier'd in lot it did alyglite
To Giffry Wirie, of noble birth, an Andegavian

knight,
A member Hamlet all this whyle, of Hampton

here at hand,
With Hampton so to Moulbray went as all the

wive's land
To Bisege, in that name it runs awhyle, and then

is gone
To Clinton as his heyre who leaves it to a younger

son,
And in that time the name of Baddesley Clinton

was begun.
From them agayne by wedding of their heyre at

first it came
To Conisby, and after him to Foukes, who weds

the same.
From Foukes to Dudley by a Sales, and so to

Burdet past, ,

To JMitley Neat, by Mitley's will it came to Brome

at last,
Brome honours much the place, and afier some

descents of Bromes,
To Ferrers for a daughter's part of heyres in

match it comes.
In this last name it lasteth still, and so long —

longer shall
As God shall please who is the Lord and King

and God of all.

REVELEY, OF BRYN Y GWIN.

REVELEY, HUGH, esq. of Bryn y gwin, in the county of Merioneth, b. 15th July,

1772; m. llth January, 1803, Jane, only daughter
and heiress of Robert-Hartley Owen, esq. of Bryn y
g-win, and has had issue,

Hugh-John, h. 15th March, 1812.
Jane-Frances, d. 16tli March, 1830.

This gentleman, who is a B. C. L. of Christ Church,
Oxford, was secretary to Sir John Mitford while Speaker
of the House of Commons, and afterwards, when that
learned person was constituted Lord Chancellor of
Ireland, and created Baron Redesdale, filled the
office of purse bearer to his lordship.

Mr. Reveley is a magistrate and deputy lieutenant
for the county of Merioneth, and was high slieriff
in 1811.

Hintac^c.

The Reveleys, wlio trace their descent
to the reign of Edwaud II. were originally
seated in the manor house of Reveley, on
tlie northern bank of the river Breamish, at
the soutli eastern foot of Cheviot, and sub-
sequently at Aucroft, in Northumberland,
(for a detailed account, see vol. ii. p. 287).
Their possessions, it would appear, were
at one time considerable. la the reign of
James I. George Reveley, of Aucroft,
purchased from the last Lord Eure, the
manors of Newton, Underwood, and Throp-
hill, which Sir Simon Eure had acquired,
temp. Henry III. from Lord Bertram, of
Mitford. During the civil wars, William
Reveley, of Aucroft (who had married a
niece of the earl of Statford), with a body of
troops I'aised by himself, fought for K'nig
Charles, at the fatal field of Marstou Moor ;
and was slain, having attained the rank of
major, at the decisive battle of Nasehy.

The father of this stout cavalier lies in-
terred in the chancel of Mitford church,
were a large mural monument, decorated
with arms, bears the following inscription :

" Here lyeth interred, with,

in, tbis, mold, a, generous, and,

Virtuous, \\ iglit, whose,

due, deserte, cannot, be, tolde,

from, slender, skill, unto,

l)is, right: He, was, descended,

from, a, race, of, worshipiull,

Antiquities, loved, he, whs,

elce, of, low, degree, rest.

B? a'am, in, this, house, of, clay,
Reveley, unto, the, latter, day ;

Underneath is his effigy cut in relief on the
stone cover of his tomb, his hands lifted
up as in the act of prayer : on the edge in
capital letters appear these lines :

Dartram to us so dutiful a son,
if more were fit it should for thee be done,
who deceased the 7th October, anno domiui 1622.

On the marriage of

WiLLL\M Reveley, esq. of Newton L^n-
dt-rwood, (who was born in 16R2,) with Mar-
gery, daughter and heiress of Robert AVil-
ley, esq. of Newby Wiske, the seat of the
family was removed from Northumberland
to Yorkshire, and the Hall House of Newby
Wiske erected. By the heiress of Willey,
Mr. Reveley had issue,

Willey, who succeeded to the estates
of Newton Underwood and Newby
Wiske. He m. in 1717, Rachel,
daughter of Henry Neale, esq. of
London, and was father of

BALFOUR, OF TRENABY.

BALFOUR, JOHN, esq. of Trenaby, in the county of Orkney, b. 6th November,
1750; m. 10th November, 1783, Henrietta, sister of Sir Benjamin Sullivan, and of
the Right Hon. John Sullivan, of Richings Park, but has no issue.

Mr. Balfour, who represented, for twelve years, his native county, Orkney, in par-
liament, succeeded his father in 1786, and his mother in 1796.

Hintnge.

The family of Balfour, which derived its
name from its patrimony of Balor, or Bal-
four, in Fifeshire, long enjoyed the hereditary
office of sheriff' of that county, in which there
were more freeholders of the name than of
any other, even so late as the reign of
Charles II. Besides many illustrious de-
scendants in the female line, it has been en-
nobled by three peerages, viz. Burleigh and
Kilwinning, in Scotland, and Balfour of
Clonawley, in Ireland. Although the pedi-
gree goes back to the time of Di'Ncan 1.
(1033 — 1039), the first mentioned in the pub-
lic records is

Sir Michael de Balfour, who obtained
a charter from William the Lion, dtated at
Forfar, about the year 1196. His son,

134

BALFOUR, OF TRENABY.

Sir Ingelram de Balfour, was sheriff of
Fife in 122t>, and d. in 1239, leav ing a son
and successor,

Henry Balfour, father of

John Balfour, who fell anions: the flower
of the barons of Fifeshire at the sack of
Berwick by Edward I. 30th March, 1296,
and was s. by his son,

Sir Duncan Balfour, sheriff of Fife,
one of the patriotic few who adhered to the
fortunes of the renowned Sir William Wal-
lace. He was slain 12th June, 1298, at the
battle of Blackironside, where the Scottish
hero defeated, with great slaughter, tlie
English under Aymer de Valence, Earl of
Pembroke. Sir Duncan's son,

Sir John Balfour, who succeeded to his
father's estates and office, that of sheriff of
Fife. Sir John participated in the victory
obtained at Dillecarew, in 1300, by Sir John
Fraser and Sir W^illiam Wallace, but re-
ceived a severe wound in the conflict. His
son and successor.

Sir Michael Balfour, sheriff of Fife in
1314, died in 1344, leaving two sons, viz.

I, John (Sir), who succeeded to the
estates of Balfour, and to the office
of sheriff of Fife. He d. in 1375,
and left an only daughter and
heiress,

Margaret, who wedded Sir Ro-
bert Bethune, and hence descend
the Bethunes of Balfour.

II. Adam, of whose line we have to
treat.

Sir Michael's second son,

Adam Balfour, who married the grand-
daughter of Macduff, brother of Colbane,
Earl of Fife, acquired the lands of Pitten-
crieft' in dowry. He died of wounds re-
ceived at the battle of Durham, and was
buried in Melrose Abbey, anno 1346. His
son.

Sir Michael Balfour, was brought up
by his kinsman, Duncan, twelfth Earl of
Fife, who gave, in 1353, " consanguineo suo
Michaeli de Balfour," in exchange for Pit-
tencrieff, the much more valuable lands of
Mount Whanny. The Countess Isabella,
daughter of Earl Duncan, also bestowed
many grants upon her " cousin" Sir Mi-
chael, who, at her death, without issue,
should have succeeded as her nearest heir,
all the descendants of Earl Colbane failing
in her ; but the Regent Albany, who
claimed the earldom, was a competitor too
powerful to be lightly opposed, and Sir
Michael seems to have waved his rights.
He d. about 1385, and was succeeded by his
eldest son,

Michael Balfour, of Mountwhanny, who
m. and had three sons, namely,

I. George, his heir.

II. John, of Balquevy, progenitor of

the Balfours of Drumyler, Forret,
Runderston, Torry and Boghall,
Kinloch, &c.
111. David, of Carroldstoue.

The eldest son,

George Balfour, of Munquhanny, had
two sons, John (Sir), his heir, and James,
of Ballo. The elder

Sir John Balfour, sheriff of Fife in
1449, predeceased his father, being killed
at the siege of Roxburgh, 1460, leaving
three sons,
Michael.

John, bishop of Brechin, lord chancel-
lor of Scotland.
James, sub-dean of Brechin.

buit erga dictum Michaelem," erected his

inferior rank, was sent abroad, in the hojte that

departure, however, he declared that if the girl
married in his absence he would, on Ins return,
put her husband to death. He did return, and,
true to his purpose, finding that she had wedded
one Henry Stenhouse, a schoolmaster, at Inver-
keithing, repaired directly to the schoolbouse,
and inflicted a mortal wound on the unfortunate
dominie, in the midst of his scholars; for this
cold-blooded murder he was tried, convicted, and

his assistance in levying troops for tlie king's

mon law, who was an active member of the
house of commons, in the parliament as-
sembled at Dublin, in 1640, when the pa-
pists had a share in the legislature as well

house, a speech of his was subsequently
published, under the title of " An Argu-
ment, delivered by Patrick D'Arcy, esq.
in the parliament of Ireland, the 9th of
June, 1641." This argument was made at
a conference of the house of commons with
a committee of the lords, in the castle of
Dublin, upon certain questions propounded
to tlie judges of Ireland, in full parlia-
ment, and upon the answers of the judges
to the said interrogatories. Himself and his

nephew, Geoflrey Browne, were amongst
the commissioners appointed by the general
assi'ml)ly of confederate catholics, held at
Kilkenny in the time of the grand rebellion,
to conclude a peace with tlie Marquess of
Ormonde, the king's lieutenant; and " the
drawing up of tlu; articles was left to the
said Mr. Patrick D'Arcy and Mr. Geoffrey
Browne, and by them performed according
to the sense of tiie assembly." These articles
were signed and sealed 28th March, 1646,

and by the Lord Muskery, Sir Robert
Talbot, John Dillon, Patrick D'Arcy, and
Geolfry Browne, on the part of the con-
federates, in the presence of the marquess
of Clanricarde, the Lord Digby, Sir Mau-
rice Eustace, and Doctor Gerald Tennell."
D'Arcy was hereupon constituted by the
assembly one of the commissioners to raise
an army of ten thousand men, and to tax
the kingdom for their pay, in support of
the royal cause. He died in Dublin, aymo

DAYRELL, OF LILLINGSTON DAYRELL.

(the seat of the ancient family De
Hairell, vulgarly Dairell,) uas ho-
noured with his birth, but this toun
is trusted with the treasure of his
bones. His worth claimes Fame for
his trumpet, and Memory itself for
his monument. In the famous uni-
versity of Oxford he w^as hopeful, —
in the Innes of Court compleat, — the
barr found him not merely tongue-
deep, or a verbal lawyer, for he was
eminent, as well for soundness of
judgement as flourish of speech. His
law was not opposite to the Gospel ;
the advancement of the clergy being
his joy, and the beauty of God's
House his delight. He was a man
of an even temper, abhorring the

licentious libertine, and yet not en-
couraging the undisciplined disci-
plinarian. His wife was Alice, the
daughter of Thomas Mayot, gent, of
Abingdon, with whom he perfected
the circle of 26 yeares marriage so
happily, that no division was known
betwixt them but his death. The
issue he had by her was three sons
and three daughters, the lively mo-
dells of himself, in whom he yet out-
lives mortality. Ad victorem ne
querent tumuli fastum nam mem-
phida vincet, Marmor quod Dairell
indicit hie situs est. Posterity doth
owe the memorial to the Piety of
Alice, his loving wife." Walter

COSBY, OF STRADBALLY.

Hiucagc.

In the time oi Queen Mary, this family,
originally of the counties of Leicester and
Lincoln, settled in Ireland, and it has since
moved in the first grade of country gentle-
men.

Robert Cossbye,* of Hermastou, in
Lincolnshire, living in 1516, m. Isabel, dau.
and heiress of Ralph Pare, esq. of Great
Leak, Notts, (by Isabel, his wife, daugliter
and heiress of John Blake, of Hermaston),
and had a son and heir,

John Cosbie, who wedded Mable, daugh-
ter of — Agard, of Foston, in Nottingham-
shire, and had two sons, namely, Richard
Cosby, of Great Leake (whose only daugh-
ter and heiress, Bridget, became the wife
of William Towers, gent, of Thunnocke),
and

Francis Cosbie, the patriarch of the fa-
mily in Ireland, a man famed for personal
courage, as well as civil and military ta-
lents. When young he served in the wars
of Henry VIII. in the Low Countries, and
was not undistinguished. His abandon-
ment of his native soil arose from the down-
fall of the Protector Somerset, whose
daughter Mary, widow of Sir Henry Pay-
ton, knt. he had married. Deeming the
disgrace and death of that once potent no-
bleman a sentence of exclusion from place
and preferment in England, against his im-
mediate connections at least, Cosbie, Mary
Seymour, his first wife, being then dead,
emigrated to Ireland, taking with him his
second wife, Elizabeth Paulines, and the
two surviving sons of the first. Here, in
tlie land of his adoption, he soon found the

BY, of Cossebye, in the county of Leicester.

opportunity of establishing a reputation,
which he despaired of efi'ecting in the land of
his birth. He became an active defender of
the Pale against the inroads of the Irish ;
and his vigilance, zeal and success attract-
ing the observation of government, he was
appointed by Queen Mary, under her ma-
jesty's sign manual, dated 14th February,
1558, General of the Kern, a post of
great trust and importance in those times.
In 1559 he represented the borough of Tho-
mastown in parliament, when he was con-
stituted by Queen Elizabeth sherift' of the
county of Kildare, being denominated in
his patent, (dated '24th January, in the first
year of her majesty's reign), " of Evan,"
now " Munster Evan," which place he
held under an old grant from the crown,
and was invested at the same time with the
extraordinary and unenviable privilege of
exercising martial law under his own au-
thority solely, and of dealing out such
punishments, even the most penal, as he
should deem meet. 7\.rbitrary power has
rarely consorted with justice or mercy, and
few have passed through the fiery ordeal of
its unhallowed possession with reputation
unscathed, for few have been found virtuous
or firm enough to withstand the temptation
of persecuting their fellows. Unhappily for
the memory of Francis Cosbie, his name may
not be written down amongst the merciful ;
but in his day, and in the wretched land
over which he became a ruler, oppression
and cruelty were of such frequent occur-
rence as to become familiar to men's minds,
and to be stripped of more than a moiety of
the horror that tyranny usually inspires.
Cosbie, in furtherance of his commission,
caused a gallows to be erected in the imme-
diate vicinity of his own residence, on a spot
still bearing the name of Gallows-hill, and
there he is accused of having committed
the most atrocious excesses. One practice
is recorded, that of hanging his victim alive
in chains, and placing within view a loaf of
bread, in order to aggravate the excruciat-
ing tortures of hunger ; his conduct, how-
ever, received the high commendation of the
lord-deputy, Sidney, who, in the state papers,
represents the district over which General
Cosbie so ruthlessly presided to be in such
profound tranquillity, under that officer's
government, that it was almost useless to
make the country shire ground. Coshie
eventually fell at tlie battle of Glandillough,
at the head of the Kern which he valiantly
led to the charge, although then seventy
years of age. Of this action, and the ge-
neral's death, Camden gives the following

COSBY, OF STRADBALLY.

nunative : " When Aitliur, Loun (iiu;Y,
luiided iti Ireland to assuiiut the liiHitiHiaiicy,
before he had been invested with tlie sword
and the other insi>;iiia of oHice, learninir that
some rebels, under the connnand of Fitz-
Eustace, and Phelim M'nui!,h, a chief of
the nunierons sept of the O'lJyrnes, wJio
had their retreat in (ihindilloiinh, twenty-
five miles south of l)ul)lin, were devastatinj;-
the adjacent country, conunanded the lea-
ders of the band, assembled from all quar-
ters to welcome his arrival, to take the Held
witli himself aj^ainst the insurgents, who,
upon being apprised of the movement, re-
treated into the valley of (Jlandillouoh, a
grassy spot, fit for leeding sheep, but so full
of marshy ground, rocky precipices, and
thick shrubby woods, by which the vale was
entirely encom|)assed, that the paths and
l)asses were hardly kiiowu to its own inha-
bitants. On the army's reaching this place,
Cosby, general of the ligbt Irish foot, de-
nominated Kerns, aware of the many advan-
tages it aiforded the enemy, described to the
other leaders the danger to be encountered
in attacking him there, but at the same time
exhorted them with the utmost intrepidity
to brave all peril ; and putting himself at
once, although seventy years of age, at the
head of his men, led them to the charge.
The instant, however, the royal army had
entered the valley, it was overwhelmed with
a shower of arrows like hailstones from the
rebels, who lay concealed on every side
amongst the bushes and underwood, so that
they could not even be discovered. The
greater part of the invaders fell, and the re-
mainder, struggling through the most peril-
ous passes amongst the precipices, escaped
with difficulty to the lord-lieutenant, who
awaited the event on the brow of the hill, with
the Earl of Kildare, and James Wingfield,
engineer-general, who well knowing the
risk encountered, kept one of his nephews,
(Jeorge Cai-ew, jun. with him against his
will. There were lost in this attack Peter
Carew the younger, George Moore Audley,
and Cosby himself, a man nourishing in mi-
litary glory."

By his first wife, Mary, the Duke of So-
merset's daughter, and Sir Henry Peyton's
widow, Francis Cosbie had three sons, viz.

Alexandkr, inheritor of the estates.

Henry, who died before his father set-
tled in Ireland.

Arnold, who served under Robert, Earl
of Leicester, with great reputation
in the Low Countries, rt/m« 1586, with
the celebrated Sir Philip Sidney,
and was at the battle of Zuptoii,
where Sir Philip received his mortal
wound. Captain Cosbie remained
after the Earl of Leicester's return
to England, and obtained from Queen

Ei-iZABKiii,* in consideration ol' his
good services, a ixMision of three
shillings per day on the Irish estab-
lishment, until lie should be other-
wise provided for in the army of
that kingdom. Notwithstanding this
apparent proti^ction of the court, he
sull'ered, in two years afterwards,
the utmost penalty of the criminal
law, for killing the Lord Jiourke, of
Castle Connel, in a duel on Finchley
Common, the queen peremjitorily
refusing to extend to him her royal
mercy.
By his second wife, Elizabeth Paulmes,
General Cosbie had an only child,

Catherine, m. to Archibald Moor, esq.
but d. issueless.

Although the active service in which
General Cosbie was constantly engaged
seldom permitted him to have a fixed place
of abode, he seems to have considered and
used the Abbey of Stradbally as the seat of
his family : it was then, evidently from tlie
ruins which rem.ained until the year 1722,
an extensive and handsome pile of build-
ing ; but Colonel Cosbie having let the
ground in that year to Colonel Nathaniel
Mitehel, he pulled down the greater part of
those venerable remains of antiquity for
materials to build his mansion-house, leav-
ing nothing standing but part of an old cha-
pel, which is still visible. Francis Cosbie
was s. by his eldest son,

Alexander Cosbie, esq. of Stradbaliy
Abbey, who seems to have been engaged
during the whole of his time in warfare with
the O'Moores. Camden, in his life of Eli-
zabeth, recounts his being once taken by
treachery during a conference with Rory,
Of/e, near Leighliii, and that he was rescued
when bound to a tree, by Harpole, but not
before he had received a wound from a knife,
inflicted by Rory. This Francis possessed
the same arbitrary power over the lives and
limbs of his countrymen that was con-
ferred upon his father, and seems to have
abused it quite as barbarously. The tradi-
tion of the country records, that he was
wont to hang multitudesof his enemies upon
a sallow tree near the abbey ; and he was
accustomed to remark, that his sallow
looked melancholy and denuded, whenever
he observed it without the appendage of one
or two of his foemen dangling from its
branches: hence the soubriquet of Sillage,
or the " Sallow," conferred upon the family.
His excesses were, however, so unjustifia-
ble, notwithstanding the latitude of his com-
mission, that he found it necessary to solicit

O'Moores/' This instrument is dated 6th
December, 1593.

He married DoRCAS, daughter of Wil-
liam Sydney,* esq. of Orford, in Kent, and
had fifteen children. This lady, who had
been one of the maids of honour to Qitef7i
Elizabeth, obtained, throuo-h Jier influen-
tial connexions at court, grants in Ireland
(in Leix) so extensive, that at one period
the family were the territorial lords
of more than a moiety of the Queen's
County. Amongst other estates thus ac-
quired, the towns of Ballynakil, Ballyroan,
and Mountrath, with a considerable portion
of Maryborough, beside the lordships of
Gallin, Rushhall, and Trimahoe may be
enumerated ; but of that splendid inherit-
ance all that now remains to the Cosbys is
Trimahoe. t The grantee, herself, alienated
the town of Ballynakil and the lordship of
Gallin for one hundred pounds, which she
received in silver shillings — of so little value
did she regard the possession of lands which
her husband and sons were so frequently
obliged to defend «ith their swords. It is
worthy of remark that in all grants, and
even in private writings, Dorcas continued
to use the name of Sydney, and never as-
sumed that of her husband. With the ex-
ception of intervals passed at Penshurst in
visiting their distinguished relatives there,
Alexander Cosbie and his wife resided en-
tirely at the Abbey of Stradbally, and en-
joyed high reputation amongst the English
settlers. The feud with the O'Moores, en-
during however in all its lawless violence,
came at length to issue, in 1596, and proved
fatal to Cosbie and his eldest son. In that
year Anthony O'Mooke, the chief of the
insurgent clans, bearing his name, sent to
demand a passage over Stradbally bridge,
but the requisition being deemed by Cosby
a challenge, was promptly and peremptorily
denied, and preparations were commenced
without loss of time to defend the pass,
should the enemy attempt to force it. That
attempt being made by O'Moore, on the
19th of May, the Lord of Stradbally, at the
head of his Kern, accompanied by his sou
and heir, Francis, who had married, about
a year previously, Hellen, daughter of Tho-
mas Harpole, esq. of Shrule, and had born

* Grand-nephew of William Sydney, Lord of
Cranleigb.

t 1 he inheritance of this estate from Doners
Sydney entitles the Cosms to quarter the Sydney
arms; and the freqiient occurrence of Sydnfy as
a Christian name in the fainilv, may be traced to
the connexion formed through that lady.

to him a son, William, but nine weeks
before, met his foe in deadly combat on the
bridge, while the conflict was witnessed
from a window in the abbey by Dorcas
Sydney and her daughter-in-law. For
some time the valour of the Cosbies was ir-
resistible, and the fortune of the dav ap-
peared to be theirs. Alexander, however,
pursuing his advantage with extraordinary
impetuosity, received a wound which proved
at once mortal, and instantly turned the tide
of battle. The Kern, with melancholy
howling for the fate of their leader, began to
give way, when Francis Cosby, fearing that
he should be entirely abandoned, lea])ed
over the bridge in the hope of making good
his retreat to the abbey ; but the instant
! that he had cleared the battlements, he was
t mortally wounded, and fell dead into the
' river. These scenes, one should have ima-
gined, would have appalled the now widowed
ladies who had witnessed them ; yet it is re-
corded that Hellen Harpole, with the cool-
est presence of mind, cautioned her mother-
in-law to retain in her recollection how the
elder Cosbie fell before his son, her husband,
who had, by thus inheriting the estates even
for a few minutes, entitled her to her thirds,
or dowry. It is not known how the ladies
eventually escaped; but the infant, Wil-
liam Cosby, was carried olf and preserved
by his nurse. O'Moore, pursuing his vic-
tory, took possession of the abbey, and,
after sacking, committed it to the flames,
when many of the patents, and other valu-
able documents of the family, were de-
stroj'ed in the conflagration.

The issue of Alexander Cosby and Dor-
cas Sidney, were

I. Francis, b. 1st January, 1571, and
baptized with much ceremony in St.
Patrick's Church, Dublin, the lord
deputy standing god-father. He was
captain of the Kern, and fell, as
already stated, immediately after
his father, at the battle of Stradbally
Bridge, on the 19th of Alay, 1590,
leaving by his wife, Hellen Harpole,
(who wedded secondly, Sir Thonsas
Loftus, of Killian, in the King's
County), an infant child, William,

The melancholy catastrophy of Alexander
Cosby and his son appears to have created
a strong- public feeling at the time, and the
queen taking the state of the family into her
gracious consideration, was i)leased to grant,
by letters patent, in which the circumstances
of the battle of the bridge are recited, to
DoKCAS Sydney and Hkllkn Haui'ole, the
wardship of the infant, William Cosby,
besides conferring upon them pensions, in
considerations of the many essential ser-
vices rendered by their husbands to the
crown. Alexander Cosby was succeeded,
although for a few minutes only, by his
eldest son,

Francis Cosby, esq. ofStradbally Abbey,
who being slain, as stated above, never en-
joyed the inheritance, but left it to his
infant child,

William Cosby, esq. of Stradbally
Abbey, who died young, when the estates
reverted to his uncle,

Richard Cosby, esq. who thus became
" of Stradbally Abbey," and in order to
repair the loss occasioned by the destruction
of the family records, at the time of the
burning- of the abbey, obtained nnder the
commission of Kivy James I. for the remedy
of defective titles, a new patent, of the
same import as the old one, which is still
extant. This Richard, who was captain of
the Kerne, and esteemed of great martial
courage and ability, eagerly solicitous on
becoming chief of his line, to avenge the
death of his father and brother, dared the
O'iVFooRES to a pitched battle, and the chal-
lengf! being- accepted, the contending clans
met once more (A.D. 1606), in the glyn of
Augnahily, under the rock of Dunnamace,
when a most bloody conflict ensued, ter-
minating in the triumph of Cosby, and the
total defeat of his foes, who were never
afterwards able to make head against him.
Capt. Cosby himself displayed great per-
sonal boldness, and received so many dan-
gerous wounds in the action, that he could
not be removed from the field to Stradbally,
but was carried to Dysert House, then the

seat of Sir Kobert I'igot, where he remaiin-d
a considerable time before he was so far
recovered as to be enabled to return home.
I)nring his confinement, l'!li/,al)i;tli I*i;;()l,
one of the daughters ol' his hospitable iiost,
attended him with so much kindness and
care, that he subsequently solicited her
hand, ami she became his wife soon after
his re-establishment at Stradbally. Tliis
union, ;dthough in every otlu-r point unex-
ceptionable, proved in a high degree pre-
judicial to tli(^ fortunes ol' the family, for
his mother, JJorcas Sydney,* who enter-
tained a deep rooted , antipathy to the
J'igots, taking- offence at the alliance, im-
mediately went over to Kngland, where she?
married a second husband. Sir Thomas
Zouch, and left all her estates in Ireland,
excepting Timahoe, to the Zouches, while
she leased that for a long term to Sir
Thomas Loftus, who had become, in 161;0,
the second husband of her daughter-in-law,
Hellen, the widow of Francis Cosby.
Richard Cosby had, by Elizabeth Pigot,
who died in 1669, four sons and a daughter,
viz.

I. Alexander, his heir.

II. Francis, b. .5tli July, 1612, member
of parliament lor Carisford, m. Anne,
daughter of Sir Thomas Loftus, of
Killian, by whom (who d. in l67o),
he had issue,

1. Alexander, successor of his
uncle.

2. Thomas, of Vicarstown, m.
Anne, daughter of Sir William
Smith, and dying in 1713, left
a son,

Francis, of Vicarstown, who
wedded Anne, daughter of
— Pigot, esq. and by her,
who d. 30th March, 1783,
had, with two daughters,
Frances and Anne, two
sons, viz.

Thomas, of Vicarstown,
an officer in the army,
6. in 1742, who left at
his decease, 10th De-
cember, 1788, a son,
Thomas Cosby, of
Vicarstown, who
inherited theStrad-
bally estates on the
decease of Admi-
ral Cosby.

* Dorcas survived Sir Thomas Zouch, who
died in 1625. There is in the Sydney papers a
letter from the earl of Pembroke to his uncle,
Robert, earl of Leicester, promising to support
her in a ditierence nliich she had with Sir fid-
ward Zouch, her husband's son and heir, at the
same time assuring him th-at Sir Edward would
not wrong her.

I)i'di.i:v-.\lkxam)i:k-Sydnky Cosby, esq.
of Stradbally Hall, who was created, in
17G8, a peer of Ireland, under the title of
Bakon Sydnky, of Leix, in the Queen's
County. His lordship iield no military em-
ployment, but was minister plenipotentiary
to tlie court of Denmark. He espoused, in
December, 1773, the Lady Isabella St. Law-
rence, dau. of Tliomas, first Earl of Hovvth,
and aunt of the present earl, but died
in the ensuing month, 17th .lanuary, 1774,
without issue, leaving the estate burdened
with the enormous debt of £;i(),()00. arising
from his own imprudent expenditure. His
peerage became of course extinct, while the
inheritance reverted to (the only surviving
son of LiKi T.-CoLOML Alexandkr Cosby,
governor ol" Nova Scotia, by his wife, Anne
Winned, of Annapolis, and grandson of
Alexander Cosby, of Stradbally Hall, and
liis wife, Elizabeth L'Estrange) his lord-
ship's cousin,

Phillips Cosby, esq. then a captain in
the royal navy. This gentleman, to relieve
iiimself from the encumbrance left by his pre-
decessor, was obliged to alienate a moiety
of the Stradbally estate, but he had pre-
viously to establish his right by the issue of
a suit at law of four years' endurance against
the claim of the Earl of Farnham, founded
upon the alledged heirship of Sarah, Lord
Sydney's sister, and his lordship's second
countess ; but Lord Sydney, having made a
will in his (Cosby's) favour, and republished
it when his lordslup married Lady Isabella
St. Lawrence, the jury, without leaving the
box, decided that the property was Captain
Cosby's. In his professional career Captain
Cos1)y, before and after his accession to the
family estates, w^as actively engaged, and
established the reputation of a gallant and
experienced officer. In 1760, he was ap-
pointed commander of liis majesty's sloop,
the Laurel. In 1761, he was made a post
captain ; the next year he commanded the
Isis, of fifty guns and three hundred and fifty
men, in the Mediterranean, under the flag
of Vice-admiral Sir Charles Saunders. From
1765 to 1770 (years of peace) he was captain
of the Montreal frigate, of thirty-two guns
and two hundred and forty men, in the same
sea. In 1769 he brought home the remains
of his Royal Highness the Duke of York,
brother of King George III. who had died

abroad, and having docked his sliip, sailed
back to his station in the Mediterranean,
where he soon after had the honour of en-
t('rtaining on board his Imperial Majesty,
Joseph II. Evh'ekok of (jekmany, and a
numerous train of nobility, the emperor
l)resenling him with a gold enamelled snutt'
box, of great value, in acknou ledgment of
his politeness and hospitality. He had
afterwards the honour to receive, as a pas-
senger, his Serene Uiylnuss, the hereditary
Pkince oi' IJkhnswick, (brother-in-law to
his own illiKstrious sovereign, Geoiuje IH.)
and landed the prince at the Gulph of
Frejus, on his way to Persia, wlio re-
warded him with a splendid diamond ring.
In 1770, he was called home, and reached
Spithead in July, when he was appointed,
within a brief interval, collector of Basse-
terra, in the Island of St. Christopher's,
to which post he immediately repaired, but
did not remain long abroad. In January,
1774, he came, as already stated, into the
possession of the family estate, and re-
sided at Stradbally Hall for the next four
years, but the war then breaking out, he
resumed his professional duties, and being
appointed to the command of the Centaur,
of seventy-four guns and six hundred and
fifty men, was second in the van division in
the action of the 27th July, 1778, ofl' Ushant,
under Admiral Kepple, (afterwards Lord
Kepple,) against the French fleet. From
that period, until nearly the close of the
American war. Captain Cosby was con-
stantly employed in the Altantic, in com-
mand of the Robust, of seventy-four guns
and six hundred men, and on the 16th March,
1781, led the English fleet, on both tacks,
against the French off" the Cape of "Virginia.
In this action the Robust sustained the fire
of three ships, until she became a complete
wreck, and was taken in tow by the America
of sixty-four guns. The vice-admiral, (Ar-
buthnot) in his communication with the ad-
miralty, bore honourable testimony to Cos-
by's gallant conduct, as well as in a letter*

* Copy of a letter from Vice-admiral Arbuth-
not to Captain Cosby.

" Sir,
" You have, during the time that we left Gard-
ners' Bay, conducted yourself like an experienced
diligent officer, particularly on the IGth instant,
in which you have approved yourself a gallant
naval commander, that has done honour to your-
self and country ; and both j'ourself, officers, and
ship's company have my warmest thanks for your
sjiirited conduct.

" I have ordered the America to assist you
with twenty men, and so soon as we get to anchor
you shall have every assistance that is in the
power of Sir, &c.

addressed to the captain himself, immedi-
ately after the engagement. In 1782, the
Robust, from her dismantled condition, on
returning to England was put out of com-
mission, and Captain Cosby repaired to
Stradbally Hall. In the year 1785 he was
again caiied out, and then constituted com-
modore, and commander-in-chief of all his
majesty's ships and vessels in the Medi-
terranean, when he sailed from Spithead in
the Trusty of fifty guns, three hundred and
thirty-seven men, having previously hoisted
the broad pendant. He remained on his
station until 1789. In 1790, on the expec-
tation of a war with Spain, Captain Cosby
was appointed commander-in-chief of his
majesty's ships employed at Cork, in the
service of raising men for the fleet, with
power to hoist a l)road pendant on board
any of the ships wherever he might happen
to be, and to have a captain under him : in
the September of the same year, he attained
the rank of rear-admiral of the White, but
peace being preserved by the submission of
Spain, he returned to Stradbally, at the
close of the year. In 1792, being again in
active service, he was appointed commander-
in-chief at the port of Plymouth, and pro-
moted soon after to vice-admiral of the
Blue ; being subsequently engaged, at the
commencement of the war, with republican
France, he attained, in succession, the gra-
dations of vice-admiral of the Red, of ad-
miral of the Blue, and of admiral of the
White. He finally returned to Stradbalh 1
Hall to reside, on the 27th April, 1799.

BLOUNT, OF MAPLE-DURHAM.

Hincnge.

' The origin and history of this most
ancient and distinguished family has been
elaborately investigated by Sir Alexander
Croke, kilt. LL.D. of Studley Priory, in
Oxfordshire, (see vol. i. p. 354,) wlio traces
it from the Counts of Guisnes, in Picardy,
a 'race of nobles, descended themselves
from the Scandinavian rulers of Denmark.
RoDOLPH, third count of Guisnes, had three
sons, by his wife, Rosetta, daughter of the
Count de St. Pol, all of whom accompa-
nied the Norman in his expedition against
England, in 1066, and contributing to the
triumph of their chief, shared amply in the
spoils of conquest. One of the brothers
returned to his native country ; the other
two adopted that which they had so gallantly
helped to win, and abided there ; of these.
Sir William le Blount, the younger, was
a general of foot, at Hastings, and was re-
warded by grants of seven lordships in
Lincolnshire ; his son was seated at Sax-
lingham, in Norfolk, and the great-grand-
daughter of that gentleman, sole heiress of
her line, Maria le Blount, marrying in
the next century. Sir Stephen le Blount,
the descendant and representative of her
great-great-great uncle. Sir Robert le
Blount, united the families of the two
brothers.
The elder brother.

Sir Robert le Blount, had the com-
mand of the Conqueror's sliips of war, and
is styled " Dux Navium Militarium." His
portion of the Spolia opima embraced
thirteen manors in Suffolk, in which county
he was the first feudal Baron of Ixworth,
(the place of his residence), and lord of
Orford Castle. He m. Gundreda, youngest
daughter of Henry, Earl Ferrers, and had
a son and heir,

Gilbert le Blount, second baron of
Ixworth, who came into England with
his father. This feudal lord founded a
priory of black canons, at Ixworth, and
marrying Alicia de Colekirke, was s. by his
son,

William le Blount, third lord of Ix-
worth, tetnp. Henry II. who rebuilt the
priory of Ixworth, which had been de-
stroyed during the contest between the
Empress Maud and King Stephen. By his
wife, Sarah, daughter of Hubert de Mon-
chensi, he was father of

Gilbert or Hubert le Blount, fourth
baron, living 20th Henry II. 1)7.3, who
wedded Agues de L'Isle (de Insulfi), who
was alive 10th Richard I. (1198), he had
two sons, namely,

William, b. in 1153, who inherited as

fifth Lord of Ixworth, and mar-
rying Cecilia de Vere, had issue,
William, his successor.

Agnes, m. to Sir Wil-~j

LIAM DE Criketot. I co-heirs
RoisiA, m. to Robert \ to their
DE Valoings, lord of brother.
Orford, in Suffolk. J
This baron d. at the age of thirty-
two, in 1185, and was *. by his son,
William le Blount, sixth lord of
Ixworth, who was standard
bearer to Simon de Montford,
earl of Leicester, and fell at
Lewes, on the 14th May, 1264.
He was afterwards attainted in
parliament, when the barony of
Ixworth became forfeited. He
had married .Alicia de Capella,
(who lived to the 10th Edward I.
anno 1281), but having no issue,
his sisters became his heirs.
Stephen (Sir).
The chief branch of the family, the barons
of Ixworth having, as above stated, ex-
pired with the sixth feudal lord, at the
battle of Lewes, the representation devolved
upon the line of the younger son of Gilbert,
by Agnes de L'Isle.

Sir Stephen le Blount, who was living
in the 10th Richard I. anno 1198. He
espoused his kinswoman, Maria le Blount,
sole daughter and heiress of Sir William
LE Blount, the descendant and represen-
tative of Sir William le Blount, of Sax-
lingham, in Suffolk, one of the brothers who
came over with the Conqueror, and thus
the lines of the two brothers merging formed
the parent stock, whence have since sprang
the different families of the nam*. Of this
marriage there were two sons. Sir John
Blount (the younger, who m. Constance,
one of the sisters and co-heirs of Sir
Richard de Wrotham, justice of the com-
mon pleas), and the son and heir,

Sir Robert le Blount, who was a
witness to the charter of Hilton Abbey, in
Staffordshire, in the 8th Henry III. anno
1223. He wedded Isabel, daughter and
co-heir of the feudal lord of Odinsels, and
acquired the manor of Belton, in the county
of Rutland, as a part of the lady's portion.
He died in the 17th Edward I. anno 1288,
leaving two sons, viz.

I. Ralph (Sir), lord of Belton, who
recovered lands, 14th Edward I.
anno 1285, in Saxliiigham, which
had been his grandfather's. He m.
Cecilia, or Alicia, daughter and co-
heir of Sir John Lovet, of Hampton

the surname of (/Kokk, and was an-
cestor of tlie Chokes, of Studlcy
Priory, (see vol. i. p. 354.)
M. Wn.MAM (Sir).
Upon the extinction of the noble house of
Blount of Belton, the representation de-
volved on the descendant of Nicholas le
Blount, and now vests dc jure in Sir Alex-
ander Croke ; but the name surviving; in
the descendants of the younger son,

Sir William le Blount, they may cer-
tainly claim, without urgin<; any unwar-
rantable pretension, to be de facto chiefs.
Sir William espoused the Lady Isabel de
Beaucliamp, daughter of William, first Earl
of Warwick, and widow of Henry Lovet, of
Elmley Lovet, in the county of Worcester.
He d. in the 9th or 10th of Edward H.
(1315 or 1316), having had issue,

to A'/w^'^Edward^II. died issueless.

The second son,

Sir Walter le Blount, of the Rock, in
the county of Worcester, married Johanna,
third sister and co-heir of Sir William de
Sodington (who died 30th Edward I. ataio
1301), and thus became proprietor of the
manor of Sodington, in the county of Wor-
cester. He d. in 1322, and was s. by his son,
Sir William le Blount, who had a com-
mand in Scotland in 1335. He m. Mar-
garet, tliird daughter and co-heir of Theo-
bald de Verdon, Lord of Alton Castle, in
the county of Stafford, lord justice of Ire-
land. The lady was born in 1310 ; there
were no issue of the marriage, and Sir Wil-
liam dying lltli Edward III. anno 1,337,
seised of the Castle of Weobly, in Here-
fordshire ; Batterby, and lands in Fenton,
Romesore, and liiddnlph, in the county of
Stafford ; Sodington and Timberlake, in
Worcestershire, was s. by his brother.

Sir John le Blount, then tliirty-nine
years of age, who was in the service of the
Earl of Lancaster, and had obtained from
tliat nobleman a grant for life of the manor
of Passingham, in the county of North-
ampton ; he had also lands from the earl
in Holland and Unffield, in (he county of
Derby, and at Tiberton, in Gloucestershire.
He m. two wives ; first, Isoi.da, daughter
and lieir of Sir Thomas de Mountjoy, by
wliom he acquired a large accession of
estates, and had issue,

John (Sir), who wedded twice ; first,
Juliana, daughter of — Foulluirst ;
and secondly, Isabella, daughter and
heir of Sir Bryan Cornwall, of K inlet.

By the second he was ancestor of

the IJIoiints of K inlet, now repre-
sented ijy VVilliani Lacon Cliildc, esq.
By the first he had a son,

John Bi.ount, of Sodington, aged
fourteen at the (hicease of bis
grandfather in 1.358. From this
gentleman we pass to his lineal
descendant.
Sir Waiter Bi.ount, knt. of
Sodington, who was created
a baronet, 5th October,
1642 (see Burke's Peerar/e
and /iarotu'taf/e). The fifth
in succession from this gen-
tleman.
Sir William Blount, sixth
baronet, ?». in 1766, Mary,
elder daughter and co-heir
of James, Lord Aston, of
Forfar, and one of the re-
presentatives of the elder
branch of the family of Sir
Ralph Sadlier (see vol. ii.
p. 562). The present Sir
Edward Blount, hart, of
Sodington, only son of the
late Sir Walter Blount, and
nephew of Edward Blount,
esq. of Bryanstone-square,
member in the late parlia-
ment for Horsham, is grand-
son of this marriage.
Walter, who d. s. p.
His second wife was Eleanor, second daugh-
ter of John Beauchamp, of Hache, in the
county of Somerset, and widow of John
Meriet, of Meriet, in the same shire ; by
this lady he left at his decease in the 32nd
of Edward HI. a7mo 1358,* a son, the
heroic

Sir Walter Blount, so celebrated for
his martial prowess in the warlike times of
Edward HI. Richard II. and Henry IV.
and immortalized by the muse of Shak-
si'EARE for his devotion, even unto death,
to King Henry. Sir Walter fell at the
battle of Shrewsbury on the 22nd June,
1403, Avherein, being standard-bearer, he
was arrayed in the same armour as his royal
master, and was slain, according to the poet,
in single combat by the Earl of Douglas,
who had supposed lie was contending with
the king himself.

Blunt. What is thy name, that in the battle thus
Thou Grossest me ? what honour dost thou seek
Upon my head ?

Doug. Know then, my name is Douglas ;

And I do liaunt thee in battle thus,
Because some tell me thou art a king.

Blunt. They tell thee true.

* About this time the family began to omit
the pretix Lk to their name, calling themselves
Blount only.

166

BLOUNT, OF MAPLE-DURHAM.

Doug. The Lord Stafford dear to-day hath
bought
Thy likeness ; for, instead of thee, King Harry,
The sword hath ended him : so shall it thee,
Unless thou yield tliee as my prisoner.

Blunt. I was not born a yielder, thou proud Scot ;
And thou shalt find a king that will revenge
Lord Stafford's death.

[they fight, and Blunt is slain.
Enter Hotspur.
Hot. O Douglas, hadst thou fought at Holme-
don thus,
1 never had triumph'd upon Scot.

Doug. All's done, all's won, here breathless lies

the king.
Hot. Where?
Doug. Here.

Hot. Tliis, Douglas ; no, I know full well :
A GALLANT KNIGHT he was, his name was Blunt,
Semblably furnished like the king himself.

In this battle the inipctiiovis Hotsphk, the
renowned Percy, likewise met his doom.
Having thus rehearsed the dramatic version
of the valiant soldier's death, we retrace our
course, to detail some passages in his event-
ful life. In 1367, we find Sir Walter ac-
companying the Black Prince, and his bro-
ther the Duke of Lancaster (Jolin of Gaunt),
upon the expedition into Spain, to aid Peter
the Cruel, King of Castille, and assisting
on the 3rd of April in that year at the
battle of Najara, which restored Peter to his
throne. Thenceforward for a series of years,
indeed until the prince's decease, he appears
to have been immediately and confidentially
attached to the Duke, having chosen his
wife, whom he married about the year 1372,
from amongst the ladies in the suite of
Constantia of Castille (eldest daughter
of Peter, and his successor on the throne,
who became the royal consort of John of
Gaunt), when the princess visited England
in 1369. In 1398, the duke granted one
hundred marks a-year to Sir Walter for the
good services which had been rendered to
him by the knight and his wife, the Lady
Sancia. The Lady Sancia's maiden desig-
nation was Donna Sancha de Ayala. She
was the daughter of Don Diego Gomez de
Toledo, alcalde mayor, and chief justice
of Toledo, and notario mayor, or principal
secretary of the kingdom of Castille, by his
wife, Inez Alfon de Ayala, one of the most
ancient and illustrious houses in Spain.
John of Gaunt at his decease appointed
Sir Walter one of his executors, and be-
queathed him a legacy of one hundred
marks, £66. 6s. Sd.

In 1374, Sir Walter's half brother. Sir John
Blount, of Sodington, conveyed to him nu-
merous manors, wliich lie had inherited
from his mother, Isolda, heiress of the
Mountjoy family. In 1381 he became pro-
prietor, by purchase, of the large estates of
the Bakepuiz family, in the counties of
Derby, Stafford, Leicester, and Hertford.

In 1385 he obtained a charter for a fair and
free warren in his demesne lands at Barton,
and other manors in Derbyshire. In 1399
he was ranger of Needwood forest, and
knight of the shire for the county of Derby.
By his wife. Donna Sancha, who survived
him, and lived until 1418, he left issue,

warriors who have immortalized the

Martha, b. 15th June, [ the intimate

Pope, and their friendship is fre-
quently reverted to in his works.
They first became acquainted with the
poet atWhite Knights, near Reading,
the house of their grandfather, a great
lover of poetry and admirer of Pope.
The close vicinity of White Knights,
Maple Durham, and Binfield, and
the marked attention paid to the
author's rising reputation, created an
intimacy between the families, which
was cemented by the conformity of
their religious and political senti-
ments. " Their acquaintance," says
Dr. Johnson, " began early, the life
of each was pictured on the other's
mind, their conversation was there-
fore endearing, for when they met
there was an immediate coalition of
congenial notions." When Pope
needed more than the common offices
of friendship, and when the gentle
attentions of female kindness could
alone soothe his continued infirmities,
those consoling services in his hour
of weakness and pain he experienced
from the Misses Blount. He and they
were constantly together, and if at any
time absent they carried on a con-
tinued correspondence. By his will,
dated a few months before his death.

the poet bequeathed to the younger
Miss Blount £100, the furniture of
the grotto, the urns in his garden,
and the interest of his whole property
for her life. Miss Martha Blount, the
Partiuiiia of Pope, died in 1763.
Miss Teresa Blount (who assumed
the name of Zei)liilinda in her cor-
respondence with Mr. Moore, who
styled himself Alexis,) died in 1759.

SCOTT, OF MALLENY.

SCOTT, THOMAS, esq. of Malleny, in the shire of Midlothian, b. 25th December,

1745, a deputy lieutenant for that county.

This gentleman, a general in the army, and, with one
exception, the oldest officer in the British service, ob-
tained an ensigncy in the 24th regiment 20th May,
1761, and his career has since been highly distin-
guished. He served under Prince Ferdinand during
^^^ \~ ' y' the whole of the campaign of 1762, and carried the

\i^ "Sj^X X colours of his regiment at the battle of Wellemstall,

and at the attack of the British picquets on the Fulda.
In 1763, returning home, he was stationed in Ireland,
and obtained his lieutenancy in 1765. In 1776, he
accompanied his regiment to America, served two cam-
paigns under General Burgoyne, with a company of
marksmen attached to a large body of Indians, and
acquitted himself so much to the satisfaction of his
commanding' officer. Brigadier Fraser, that he twice
received thanks in public orders. After the battle of
the 19fh September, 1777, the critical situation of Burgoyne rendering it indispen-
sably necessary to communicate with Sir Henry Clinton, the commander-in-chief,

two officers were selected, who should take different routes, to apprize Sir Henry of
the perilous position of the British forces. Captain Scott, who was well known as an
excellent pedestrian, was chosen as one of the envoys, and accomplished his journey
with great address and coura<^e. In 1788, he returned to Europe; in 1791, served,
during' the Spanish armament, with a detachment of the .OSrd regiment, for six
months on board his majesty's ship Hannibal, commanded by Sir John Colpoys, and
proceeding-, in 1793, to the continent with Sir Ralph Abercromby, assisted at the
sieges of Valenciennes and Dunkirk, and in the attack in which the Austrian General
D'Alton was killed. He was also at the siege of Niewport, and received the commis-
sion of major for his exertions in its defence.

During the three days that Prince William of Gloucester commanded the brigade,
which consisted of the 14th, 37th, and 53rd regiments. Major Scott was attached to
the staff of his royal highness, was present at the attack of the village of Fremont,
and participated in the action of the 24th May, being wounded that day in the inside
of the right thigh by a musket ball. In 1794, he was appointed lieutenant- colonel of
one of the battalions of the 94th, and in the following year proceeded with it to
Gibraltar, and in 1796 to the Cape of Good Hope. He served the whole of the cam-
paign of 1799, in the Mysore country, and was at the capture of Seringapatam. In
1800, Colonel Scott, in consequence of ill health, deemed it expedient to return to
Europe, and left Hindostan. The Indiaman, however, in which he was a passenger,
being boarded and taken by a French privateer, in the British Channel, close to the
Isle of Wight, Colonel Scott was detained some weeks at Cherbourg until exchanged,
in consequence of an application to the French government by the desire of the Duke
of York. In 1801, he was appointed colonel by brevet; in 1802, inspecting field
officer of the Edinburgh recruiting district; in 1803, deputy inspector-general of the
recruiting service in North Britain; in 1804, brigadier-general; in 1808, major-
general on the staff; and, in 1813, lieutenant-general. It is a remarkable circum-
stance in the history of General Scott's life, that from the time he was appointed
ensign to his promotion to the rank of general, a period of no less than fifty-two
years, he had served without ever being on half pay or unemployed. Since his retire-
ment from his staff appointment, the general has chiefly resided at Malleny, where,
after a long and severe military career, he enjoys a well-earned repose, alike distin-
guished for his benevolence, hospitality, and kindness to his tenants.

M'KERRELL, OF HILLHOUSE.

M'KERRELL, JOHN, esq. of Hillhouse, in the county of Ayr, late master of the
Mint at Madras, succeeded his father in 1820.

Uintage.

The M'Kerrells have flourished, from a
remote period, in the shire of Ayr, but, with

many other Caledonian families, have to
deplore, that by the spoliation of the Jirst
Edward, in the thirteenth century, and the
destruction by fire of the herald's ar-
chives at Edinburgh, in the seventeenth,
they are deprived of direct evidence in
tracing their origin, and can now deduce it
on presumptive proof alone. The tradition
from sire to son bears that they came out of
Ireland, and it carries back the possession
of the estate of Hillhouse full five hundred
years, to the glorious era of Rokekt the
Bruce, a period when vast changes occur-
red in the proprietary of the soil, and when
the chiefs of numerous houses, still in a
high state of prosperity, were endowed by
that illustrious prince.

The name Kiriell appears on the roll of
Battle Abbey ; hence the family is pre-
sumed to be of Norman descent, its advent

from Ireland rather upholding than up-
setting the presumption, if the swarm of
Anglo-Norman adventurers who joined the
banner of Eakl Strongbow, and invaded
that country in 1170, be taken into consider-
ation. " Of the Norman barons," says Sir
Walter Scott, " Scotland received from time
to time sucli ^numerous accessions, that they
may be said, with few exceptions, to form
the ancestors of the Scottish nobility, and of
many of the most distinguished families
amongst the gentry ; a fact so well known,
that it were useless to bring proof of it
here,"

KiRIELL, KiREL, KiRREL, Or KeRRELL,

(as at various times spelt), is a surname now
very rarely to be met with. It is said to
exist in Sweden, another proof of Norma-
nic origin : in Scotland, the family of Hill-
house alone bears it.

The first of the name, and the most remote
now on Scottish record. Sir John M'Kirel,*
distinguished himself at the celebrated battle
of Otterburn, 19th August, 1388,by wound-
ing and capturing Rouel de Percie, who
held the second command in the English
host, and whose brother, the renowned
Hotspur, was made prisoner by Sir John
MoNTGOMERiE,f (fiom whom spring the
earls of Eglinton), in the same sanguinary
conflict. That this Sir John M'Kirel was
an ancestor of the Hillhouse family, the
circumstance of the latter bearing the arms|
which he acquired by his prowess in that
celebrated battle appears conclusive, al-

* Mac, or " Son of," was a common prefixture
in both Scotland and Ireland.

t The death of Sir John Montgomerie's son,
Huofh, in this bloody raid has been commemorated
in the old and popular ballad of Chevy Chace :
Against Sir Hugh Montgomerie

So straight his shaft he set.
The grey goose wing that was thereon.
In his heart's blood was wet.

X If heraldry may be trusted, and for long
after its institution its purity as a science, and its
utility still in restoring the severed links of affinity
when broken asunder, through loss of documen-
tary evidence, are manifest, the arms of this family
must have been those of Sir John M'Kerel, for
they are founded on the Percie coat, which was
az. five fusils in fess or. The arms of M'Kerrel
being az. three fusils gu, on a fess or, within a
bordure engrailed for distinction, leaving no ques-
tion but that in consequence of the capture of
Percie, this formed one of those cases described
by heralds of anus by conquest: for as M'Kerrel
was then a knight, (chevalier, in Froissart), and
no other honour or reward being recorded of him,
it follows that this augmentation to, or grant of
arms, was his reward ; and tlieir iuheritage, cou-
pled with Froissart's record, is the best of all
proofs of the descent of the present family of
Hillhouse from Sir John, and also of the correct-
ness of one part of the tradition above.

though a chasm of nearly two centuries
occurs in tlie pedigree.

The following is Froissart's account of
the battle of Otterbourn, and the mention of
M'Kirel :

" De touts les besognes, batailles et ren-
contres qui sont cy dessous en ceste histoire
(dont ie traitte et ay traitte) grandes, moy-
ennes et petites, ceste cy, dont ie parle pour
le present, en fut I'une des plus dures, et
des mieux combattues sans feintise, car 11
n'y auoit homnie, chevalier, n'escuyer qui
ne s'acquittast et fit son devoir, et tout main
a main. Cette battaille fut quasi pareille a
la bataille de Becherel : car aussi elle fut
moult bien combattue e longuement. Les
enfants au Compte de Northomberllande,
Messire Henry et Messire Raeul de Persy
(qui Ik estoient soueraines capitaines) s'ac-
quitterent loyaument par bien combattre :
et quasi pareil party, que celui, par qui le
Comte de Douglas fut arreste, auint et cheut
a Messire Raoul de Persy ; car il se bouta
si auant entre ses ennemis, qu'il fut enclos,
et durement naure, mis a la grosse haleine,
pris et fiance d'un Chevalier, lequel estoit
de la charge et du meme hostel de Moray,
et I'appeloit on Jehan Makirel. En le pre-
nant et fian^ant, le Cheualier Esco^ois de-
manda a Messire Raoul de Persy, qui
I'estoit, (car il estoit si muiet que point ne
le cognoissoit) et Messire Raoul (qui estoit
si outre que plus ne pouuait, et luy couloit
le sang tout aual, qui I'affoiblissoit) luy
dit; je suis Messire Raoul de Persy.
Adonc dit I'Escocois, Messire Raoul r^-
coux ou non recoux, ie vous fiance mon
prison nier. Je suis Makirel. Bien dit
Messire Raoul, je le veieil, mais entendez a
mois, car ie suis trop durement naure, et
mes chausses et mes greues sont la toutes
emplies de sang. A ces mots estoit le
cheualiere Esco^ois ententif, quand delez
luy il ouyt crier Moray et au compte : et
recit le compte et sa banniere droit deiez a
luy. Si luy dit Messire Jehan Makirel,
Monseigneur, tenez. Je vous bailie Mes-
sire Raoul de Persy pour prisonnier ; mais
faites entendre a luy, car il est durement
naure. Le Comte de Moray de ceste pa-
role fut r^iouy moult grandement : et dit,
Makirel, tu as bien gagne les esperons.
Adonc fit il venir ses gens, et leua charger
Messire Raoul de Persy : lesquels luy ban-
derent et etancherent ces playes. Si se
tanoit la bataille fort et dure et ne sauoit on
encores lesquels en auroient le meilleur ;
car ie vous dy qu'il y eut la plusieurs
prises et recousses faites, qui toutes ne vin-
drent pas a cognaissance."

Iliiuage.

The Prices deriving their estates from
the Powells of Castle Madoc, we shall
commence with the descent of that ancient
family until it merges in that of Price.

Caradog Vreichvras, or Caradog with tlie
brawny arm, a prince of the Cornish Britons
at the close of the fifth and in the early part
of the sixth centuries, one of the knights of
Kiiiff Arthur's Round Table, and in the
"Welsh Triads stvled one of the three cele-

brated commanders of cavalry, was direct
ancestor of

Maenyrch, Lord of Brecon, whose son,

Bleddyn ap Maenyrch, was Lord of
Brecon in the reign of William Rufns of
England, at which period the lordship was
invaded by Bernard Newmarch, a Norman
adventurer*, who, with his followers, de-
feated the forces of Bleddyn. The unfor-
tunate chieftain being slain in the battle,
was by his sons conveyed to the abbey of
Strata Florida, in Cardiganshire, and there
buried. His extensive domains were, how-
ever, seized upon by Newmarch, and for
the most part divided between himself and
his Norman followers. Nevertheless, Bled-
dyn's sons still retained a portion of their
father's patrimony, and from one of them,
named Blegwryd, descended, in the fifth
degree,

EiMON, who dwelt in Llyuel, in the
county of Brecon, and was called Einion
Sais, because he could speak the English
language. Third in descent from Einion
was

Llewelyn, who wedded Matilda, daugh-
ter of leuan ap Rys ap Ivor, of Elvel, and
had two sons, Howel, ancestor of the

The last descendant of the elder brother,
(Sir James Lindsay, of Craufurd), was Lu-
dovic, fourteenth Earl of Craufurd, who died
about 1646. He resigned his titles to the
crown, and obtained a new patent in favour

Lady Mary Lindsay Crawfurd, d. unm.
in 1833, and was succeeded in the estates,
both of the Crauford and Garnock fami-
lies, by the Earl of Glasgow, as heir of
entail, while the honour of representing
these two distinguished families is divided
between his lordship and Mr. Hamilton
Dundas, as the descendants of two sisters,
co-heiresses of line.

Family of Craufurd, of Kilbirney.

Galfridus de Crawfurd lived in the
reign of Kiny William tlie Lion, in the
latter part of the twelfth century ; and is
supposed (from strong presumptive evi-
dence, see vol. ii. p. xiv.) to have sprung
from a younger son of the old Earls of
Richmond.

Sir John Crawfurd, of Crawfurd. his
successor, d. in 1248, in the reign of Alex-
ander n., and left two daughters, his co-
heirs, the elder was wife of Hugh de Doug-
las, progenitor of the family of Douglas, and
the younger was wife of David de Lindsay,
ancestor of the first and second branches of

the Earls of Crawford, and of the Earls of
Balcarras.

But besides this family, which was ac-
counted the chief of the name, another
branch of the Crawfurds was settled in Ayr-
shire. Sir Reginald Crawfurd lived about
the year 1220, and married Margaret, heiress
of James, Lord of Loudon ; their descen-
dants were the powerful family of Craw-
furd, OF Loudon, which ended in an heiress,
Susannah, married to Sir Duncan Campbell,
and hence sprang the Earls of Loudon.

Robert Crawfurd, of Kilbirney, who m.

appears that a portion of the ancient lord-
ship of Crawfurd, in Lanarkshire, (tlie
greater part of wliich had passed to the
Lindsays, Earls of Crawfurd, by marriage,)
still continued in the possession of the house
of Kilbirney, as descended from this ancient
stock. These remnantsof the barony of Craw-
furd, this Lawrence exchanged with Sir
James Hamilton, of Finnart, for the lands
of Drumray, in Dumbartonshire. He also

August, 1831.

Hincagc.

The surname of Rattray is derived from
the barony of the same name in the county
of Perth, and was assumed at a very remote
era. The first of the family upon record,

Alanl's de Ratheriff, who lived in the
reigns of William the Lion and Alexan-
der II. was father of

Sir Thomas de Ratpray, who received
the honour of knighthood from Alexander
III. By Christian his wife, he acquired
part of the lands of Glencaveryn and Kin-
caldrum, in Forfarshire, as appears from
an agreement, " super controversia inter
dominum Thomam de Ratrey militem, ac-
torem nomine Christinee uxoris suae, ex
parte una, et viros religiosos abbat. et con-
vent, de Aberbrothick ex altera ; super limi-
tibus terrarum de Glencaveryn et Kyncal-
drum ; &c." This deed, to which the seals
of the earl of Buchan, the bishops of St.
Andj-ews and Brechin, the earl of Marr,
Sir Thomas Rattray and his spouse, are ap-
pended, bears date in 125^3. In 1267, Sir
Thomas witnessed a donation to the priory
of St. Andrew, and in 1272 obtained from
Simon, abbot of Dunfermline, the lands of
Bendathen. He died shortly after, leaving
EusTATii's his heir, and John, witness to a
deed in the time of Alexander III.

The elder,

EusTATlus de Ratreff, designed " Do-
minus de eodem," temp. Alexander III.
was father of

Sir Adam Ratreff, of Ratreff, who is
styled in Prynne's Collections, " Nobilis
vir dominus de Ratreff, anno 1291," and in
Rymer's Feed. Angl. when Sir Adam, with

many others, was compelled to submit to
King Edward I. it is stated, " Nobiles viri
Adam de Retrefe et Willielmus de Maule
fecerunt fidelitatera dicto regi, anno 1292."
He testified a charter in Macfalane's Col-
lections, wherein he is designed, " Dominus
Adam de Retrefe miles," 4th October, 1294,
and in 1296 was again compelled to swear
allegiance to Edward of England. Sir
Adam died before the year 1315, and was s.
by his son,

Alexander de Ratrie, of that Ilk, one
of the barons of the parliament held at Ayr
in 1315 by Robert Bruce, to arrange the
deed of succession to the crown. He died
*. p. and was s. by his brother,

EusTATius DE Ratrie, of that Ilk, who
was tried for a conspiracy ag'ainst Robert
I. in August, 1320, but acquitted. His son
and successor,

John de Rattrie, of that Ilk, living in
the reign of David Bruce, had, with a
daughter, Margaret, wife of John de Meg-
hill, of Meghill, a sou and successor,

John de Rattrie, of that Ilk, who is
witness in a confirmation granted by Sir
William Scot, of Balweary, " dilecto con-
sangiiineo suo Johanni de Lindsay, filio
Alexandri Lindsay de Cavill en Fife," dated
at Balweary, " in festo sanctte Margaretaj
Reginae," lOth June, 1399. He died at the
close of the reign of James I. and was *. by
his son,

Patrick Rattray, of that Ilk, mentioned
in a charter of Sir Walter Haliburton, 24th
July, 1453, and in one to the monastery of
Aberbrothick in 1456. He was father of

Sir Silvester Rattray, ol that Ilk, wliu
was ap|)oiiitt'(l one of'tlie ambassadors extra-
ordinary to treat with the court of England,
for wiiicii he obtained a safe conduct, dated
r2th June, 1463, and is then designed " Do-
niinus Silvester de Rattray miles." He was
a person of gre;it inlluence at the Scottish
court, possessed an ample inheritance, and
sat in the parliament of 1481. He ni. Alison
Hepburn, and had a son and successor.

Sir John Ratiray, of that Ilk, wiio was
knighted by James IV. He m. Klizabeth,
daughter of James, second Lord Kennedy,
and had three sons and one daughter, viz.

I. John, a military officer, who wedded
Margaret Abercrombie, but died in
Holland before his father, without
issue.

II. Patrick, ) -it,-

III. Silvester, r"'"''''^''y^^''''-

1. Grizel, m. to John Stewart, third earl
of Athol.
After the decease of Sir John, a calamitous
and almost ruinous contest arose between
his younger sons, and their brother-in-law
the earl of Athol. Tradition affirms that the
earl, having married Sir John's only daugh-
ter, deemed himself entitled to a portion at
least of the Rattray estate, and being a per-
son of great power and authority, came,
with a considerable body of men, took pos-
session of the castle of Rattray, and carried
off the family writs ; while Patrick Rattray,
the second son, totally unable to resist so
potent a nobleman, retired to the castle of
Craighall, which he gallantly defended, and
succeeded in holding together with the lands
of Craighall and Kinballoch ; the Athol fa-
mily continuing to possess the greater part
of the lands of Rattray, until they were
evicted from them by an appraising at the
instance of Sir Robert Crichton, of Clunie,
about the beginning of the seventeenth cen-
tury. The said

Patrick Rattray, dying unmarried, the
representation of the family devolved upon
his brother,

Silvester Rattray, who endeavoured
to serve himself heir to his father and bro-
thers at Perth, in which county his lands
lay, but found it impossible, because (as the
writ bears) the earl of Athol and his friends
are " magn<B potestatis et fortitudinis" in
that town. Rattray applied in consequence
to Khic/ James V. and obtained from his
majesty a commission under the great seal
to have service done at Dundee. In this
commission it is narrated that Patrick, his
brother, had been " postpositus et impedi-
tus" for the space of twelve years by the
said earl, from getting himself served in the
lands that fell to him by the death of his
father and brother John ; and that, post lites
magnasque expensas per dictum Patriciura

in pntfata materia, prtefatus comes niisit
Walterum Leslie, Johannem Stewart, aliaii
John of Lorn, Thomas Laing, David Stewart,
suos servitores, et eorum complices, et dic-
tum Patricium in sua capella ipsius loci de
Kynballoch interficere causavit : et idem
Silvester informatur, (|uod dictus comes, et
sui complices, sibi similiter facere inten-
dunt, si sua brevia de hujusmodi terris pro-
sequi volet." This extraordinary commis-
sion is dated at Edinburgh 17th October,
153.'J, to vvhich the great seal is ap|)ended,
and in (consequence Silvester Rattray was
served heir to his father Sir John, and to
his brothers John and Patrick, in the barony
of Craighall and Kynballoch, and infeft
therein at Dundee in 1534, He m. Mar-
jory, daughter of Andrew, third Lord Gray,
(relict of Kennenmouth, of that Ilk,) and
had, with a daughter, Elizabeth, jh. to John
Blair, of Ardblair, a son and successor,

David Rattray, of Craighall and Kyn-
balloch, who was served heir to his father
before the sheriff of Perth, in the lands of
Kynballoch, and certain others lying within
the barony of Rattray, anno 1554. He
wedded Isabel, daughter of Alexander
Ramsay, of Banff, and had two sons,

George, his heir.

Silvester, minister at Auchtergevan,
ancestor of Rattray, of Dalnoon.

David Rattray, who got a charter in 1566,
from Richard Livingstone and John Spens,
the commissioners for receiving resignations
and granting new infeftments of church-
lands, of the estate of Chapletoun, died in
the commencement of the reign of James
VI. and was succeeded by his eldest son,

6th August, 1586. He m. Janet, daughter
of George Drunimond, of Blair, and had a

noble and ancient families, whose descent
can be traced, by authentic records, to a
period preceding the Norman Conquest.

Hugh), was a man of considerable impor-
tance in the Pais de Caux, in Normandy.

Flanders. Roger and Robert, the second
and fourth sons, accompanied their father
in the expedition of the Conqueror, and
obtained from that monarch large posses-
sions, chiefly in Shropshire, where their
relation, Roger de Montgomery, earl of
Shrewsbury, was their patron and lord par-
amount.

Robert Corbet, the fourth son, and
younger of the two brothers who came with
their father to England, held fifteen manors
in Shropshire, under Earl Roger de Mont-
gomery; his male line ended with his son,
Robert Corbet, lord of Alcester, who left
no issue, though many genealogists (See
Burke's Extinct Peerage, &c.) have erro-
neously described him as the ancestor of the
Barons Corbet, of Caus, of whom hereafter.

Roger Corbet, the second son of Cor-
bet, and elder of the two brothers who
served under the Norman, held twenty-
four manors in Shropshire, and one in

PIGOTT, OF EDGMOND.

Unuat^c.

In an elaborate MS. compiled and em-
blazoned in the College of Arms, contain-
ing " Sundrie Ancient Remembrances of
Arms, Genealogies, and other Notes of
Gentillity belonging to the Worsliipfull
Name and Families of Pigot or Picot," it
is stated that *' In the first reign of the
Normans there flourished in this land two
noble familys of the surname of Pigot ; and
that they were of the like noble linage or
oflTspring in the Dutchy of Normandy before
the Norman conquest of England, appeareth
by the reverend testimonies of our ancient
Heralds books and chronicles : the first
whereof being named otherwiles Pigot and
Picot, was Viscount Hereditary of Cam-
bridge Sheer or Grantbridge, and Baron of
Boorne or Brune in the said County in tlie
reign of King William the Conqueror.
After his death, Robert Pigot, his sonn,
succeeded in the Baronie, and he forfeited
the same by takeing part with Robert, Duke
of Normandy, against William Rufus ; and
King Henry tlie First gave the same to
Payne Peverell. This Peverell married
tlie sister of the said Lord Robert Pigot, as
Mr. Cambden noteth in his description of
Cambridgeshire."

" The other family of the Pigots tliat is
said to have been of noble title about the
Conqueror's time, did flourish in the west
parts of tlie realm, namely, in Wales, on
the Marches thereof, as it seemeth. For
Humphrey Lloyd and Doctor Powell in
their Chronicles of Wales, p. 167, aflirm
that in the reign of King Henry the First,
anno 1109, Cadocan ap Blethin, Lord of
Powes, married the daughter of the Lord
Pigot, of Say, a nobleman of Normandie,
and had divers townes and lordships in that
countrie by gift of the said Pigot, and a son
also, by his daughter, named Henry, to

whom the King gave a portion of his uncle
Jerworth's ransome, which Jerworth ap
Blethin was the said King's prisoner.

" It is supposed from a branch of this
Pigot are lineally descended those Pigotts,
which have many ages since continued at
Chetwin, in Shropshire, their arms being
3 fiizills or millpecks as aforesaid, likewise
in Flintshire, Cheshire, Herefordshire, &c.
whereof there are many gentlemen remain-
ing in Wales to this day, as is reported and
known."

Of the Cheshire branch of Pigot, it is
known by authentic records that Gilbert
Pigot or Pictiot, was mesne lord of Brox-
ton, at a period approximating to the Nor-
man conquest. Robert Pigot, and William,
his son, by charter, granted to the monks of
St. Werberg, in Chester, the town of Chelle-
f'ord ; and another, Gilbert Pigot, was a
benefactor to the abbey of Pulton, in that
county, in the year 1210.

RichardPigot, "o/' C7*e*/aVe," presumed
to have been of the family of Pigot, of
Butley, in that county, and to have been
descended from Gilbert, lord of Broxton,
before mentioned, married the daughter
and co-heiress of Sir Richard de Peshale,
of Chetwynd, in the county of Salop, and
with her obtained that fine estate. His
grandson,

Robert Pigott, of Chetwynd, was sheriff
of Shropshire in 1517, and he (as also did
several of his descendants) bore for arms,
azure, a chevron between three mullets or,
on a chief ermine, three fusils sable. The
chevron and mullets were borne by the
Peshales of Chetwynd, in consequence of
the marriage of Sir Richard de Peshale,
sheriff of Shropshire in 1333, with Joan,
daughter and heir of Reginald, son of Sir
John de Chetwynd, by which marriage the
Chetwynd estate was obtained by the Pe-
shale family. Robert Pigott, esq. married
Margaret, daughter of Sir John Blunt, knt.
of K inlet, by whom he had issue,

Thomas Pigott, esq. of Chetwynd, whose
son,

Robert Pigott, esq. of Chetwynd, was
sheriff of Shropshire in 1574. By Eliza-
beth, his wife, daughter of William Gatacre,
esq. of Gatacre, in the county of Salop, he
liad numerous issue, and was succeeded by
his eldest son,

Thomas Pigott, esq. of Chetwynd, sheriff
of Shropshire in 1615, he married Dorothy,
daughter of Thomas Eyton, esq. o*' Eyton,
in the county of Salop, and dying in 1620,
was succeeded in his estates by his son,

in the county of Salop, and of Chesterton
Hall, in the county of Huntingdon. This
gentleman married, first, Diana, dau. and
co-heir of Richard Rocke, esq. of Shrews-

condly, Anne, daughter of — Peers, esq.

The date of Mr. Pigott's death is known by
the remarkable wager recorded in Bur-
rows' Reports, under the title of " The Earl
of March versus Pigott," in whicli Lord
Mansfield decided, that the impossibility of
a contingency is no bar to its becoming the
3.

subject of a wager, provided the iiiijiossi-
Itiiity is unknown to l)oth tlie parties at tlie
time of laying it. The case was this : Mr.
R. Pigott and Mr. Codrington agreed to run
their fathers^ lives one against the other.
Sir William Codrington I)ciiig a little turned
of fifty ; Mr. Pigott, senior, upwards of
seventy; but the latter was alreadii dead.
He died in Shroi).shire, (l.>0 miles from
London), at two o'clock in tin; morning
of the day on which the bet was mad^ at
Newmarket, after dinner. This circum-
stance was at the time unknown to, and not
even suspected by either party ; but hence
Mr. Pigott was induced to resist payment
of the five hundred guineas, for which the
wager was laid ; and Lord March, after-
wards the well-known Duke of Queens-
berry, who had taken Mr. Codrington 's bet,
was compelled to bring his action, in which
he succeeded. Dying thus, in May, 1770,
Mr. Pigott was succeeded at Chetwynd, by
his eldest son,

Robert Pigott, esq. who served the
oflice of sheriff for Shropshire, in 1774, soon
after which, becoming alarmed (as it is
said) at the gloomy aspect of affairs in this
country, consequent upon the commence-
ment of the American war, he sold the
ancient inheritance of Chetwynd, which had
been in his name for twelve generations,
and hastened to rescue seventy thousand
pounds, the inadequate consideration which
he had received for it, from bis anticipated
wreck of the kingdom, by retiring to the
continent, and there lost a considerable part
of this property, on the failure of those to
whom he had entrusted it. He lived for
some time at Geneva, married abroad, and
had a son, who died before him. His own
death happened at Toulouse, on the 7th
July, 1794.

Thus terminated the principal line of the
family of Pigott, of Chetwynd, but the
family itself was continued by

The Rev. William Pigott, rector of
Chetwynd and Edgmond, brother of the
last Robert Pigott, of Chetwynd. He mar-
ried Arabella, daughter of John Mytton,
esq. of Halston, in the county of Salop, by
whom he had issue,

I. William, who was a captain in the
82nd regiment of Foot, and died at
Gibraltar, in 1795.

Uineaae

The original surname of this family, in-
discriminately spelt Hoar, Hoare, Hoore,
and Hoor, but most anciently Hore, is of
great antiquity in Middlesex, Surrey, and
the adjoining counties. Alardus le Hore
paid fines to Kiiiff John in 1208 for lands
in Muriel, Bucks ;* Walterus le Hore held
lands, in the year 1235, of Henry III., in
Leatherhead, in the county of Surrey, for
the service of finding a house to contain
prisoners ; f and Robertus le Hore was
living in London in 1331. Another Wal-
terus le Hore, accompanying the Earl
of Northampton, with numerous nobles,
knights, and other gentlemen, into " parts
beyond the sea," on the king's service, had
letters of protection and attorney from Ed-

lOG

CHILDE, OF KINLET.

Hmtnge.

The patronymic of this ancient family
was Baldwyn ; and the unwearied research
of the late Rev. John-Brickdale Blakeway,
of Shrewsbury, as evinced, in his account of
the " Sheriffs of Shropshire," has proved,
almost beyond a doubt, that these Baldwyns
derive their descent from Bawdewyn, who
occurs in the roll of Battel Abbey, as one
of the companions of William the. Con-
ijueror, who was afterwards castellan of
Montgomery under that monarch, and from
whom that town acquires its Welsh appella-
tion Tre-Faldww., or The Town of Baldwin.
That this family of Bawdewin, Baldwyn,
or Baldwin, for the name has been written
in these and many other ways, was seated
at Dodelebury, or Diddlebury, (more re-
cently denominated Delbury), in Corvedale,
in Shropshire, from a very remote period, is
beyond all question. A pedigree, drawn
up with great care, commences with an un-
doubted progenitor, Bawdewin de Brugge,
(i. e. Bawdewin of Bridgenorth), whose son,

George Fitz Bawdewin, had the manor
of Kingsmeade, in Yorkshire, the steward-
ship of Montgomery Castle, and lands in
Ho])e Bowdler and Smethcote, in the county
of Salop. The fact of George Fitz Bawde-
win holding the stewardship of Montgomery
Castle, strongly indicates a connexion be-
tween him and Bawdewin, the Norman cas-
tellan, of the same fortress. Two centuries,
however, must have elapsed between any
contemporary of the Conqueror and Bald-
win de Brugge : for Roger Baldwyn,
grandson of the aforesaid George, is known
to have died in, or not long before, the year
1398. This Roger is presumed to be the
first of the family who obtained Dodele-
bury, for his wife Jane was daughter and
heiress of William de Wigley, by Alice le
Childe, whose great grandfather, John L'En-
fant, or the Child, is stated to have married
Emblema, the daughter and co-heir of Rich-
ard Acheley, the younger, of that place, a
descendant of William Achilles, as the
name is there written, who is found in the
Testa de Nevill of the reign of Henry III.
to hold the tenth part of a knight's fee in
Dodelebur, of the barony of Walter de
Clifford.

William Baldwin, of Diddlebury, grand-
son of Roger, had passed the middle age of
life in 1458, for he then bestowed his lands
in Manslow upon his son,

John Baldwin, and Elizabeth his wife.
Their son,

John Bawdwyn, yeoman of the crown,
occurs in the roll for the collection of a
benevolence (as it was called) in Shrop-
shire, in the year 1491. This gentleman,

by his situation about the royal person, had
the opportunity of introducing at court his
eldest son,

William Bawdewyn, who during the
reign of Queen Mary, enjoyed the confi-
dential office of cupbearer to her majesty,
and was still living in 1576, when Sir Henry
Compton, knt. Lord Compton, granted to
him, by the name of William Baldwyne, of
Diddlebury, gentleman, the manor and ad-
vovvson of Kyre Wyard, in Worcestershire.
He d. without issue, and was s. in estate by
his brother,

Richard Baldwyn, who married at Ship-
ton, in the county of Salop, on the 7th No-
vember, 1545, Margery, daughter of Law-
rence Ludlow, of Moore House, in Corve-
dale, and was s. by his eldest son,

Thomas Baldwyn, b. iu 1546, who, like
his grandfather and uncle, spent many of
his years within the circuit of a court, as
agent to the Earl of Shrewsbury, then en-
gaged in the dangerous office of guarding
the Scottish queen. In Lodge's Illus-
trations, vol. ii. p. 234, is a letter signed
" T. Bawdewyn," and directed to the earl
of Shrewsbury, 1st July, 1580. It informs
his lordship that Elizabeth is resolute
against his going to Chatsworth with Qneeti
Mary, A letter of the earl's to Mr. Bald-
wyn (ib. 257) proves the great confidence
that nobleman placed in him, and expresses'
an anxiety to be permitted to resign his
burdensome charge of guarding the queen,
adding, " I have too many spyes in my
house already, and mind to make choice of
others I may trust." Hunter's History of
Hallamshire contains a letter directed to
Mr. Baldwyn, by the name of " my loving-
friend Mr. Thomas Bawdewine, at Could
Harbar in London," dated April, 1581, and
proving that he was not unknown to the
ministers of Elizabeth ; and in the same
work " one Baldwin " is mentioned as a
confidential agent of the earl of Shrews-
bury. In a room in Beauoharap's Tower,
in the Tower of London, anciently the place
of confinement for state prisoners, were dis-
covered, some years ago, a number of in-
scriptions, chiefly made with nails, and all
of them the autographs of the unfortunate
individuals %vho thus endeavoured to beguile
for a time the tedious hours of confinement.
They have been published in the thirteenth
volume of the Archseologia, and since, in
Mr. Brayley's history of that fortress.
Among them is one which runs thus :

158,5. Thomas Bawrewix. Jui.i.
as veutuf. makf.tii life
so sin cawseth death.

CHILDK, O!' K INLET.

To vvliich is added a representation of a
pair of scales, evidently iiitimatinj; the wri-
ter's confidence in liis own iiit('<;ritv, and
desire to obtain justice. Mr. IJrand, who
has written an ehiborate dissertation on
these inscriptions, not finding, as he says,
either in " tlie State Papers, Uynier's Fce-
dera, Strype, Dod, nor Howe, " any men-
tion of this person, " suspects he had been
imprisoned here for counterfeiting tlie
queen's coin." But there is not a sliadow
of doubt that lie was the Tiiomas Bahlwyn
al)ove-mentioned, and the suspicion of tlie
learned commentator is, consequently, un-
just to his memory. His epitaph, still re-
maining at Diddlebury, records his escape
from the sea, the sword, and the cruel tower.

" (Jui mare, qui ferrum, durae qui vincula turris
Quondam transivit;"

which, of course, it would not have done if
the allusion had been calculated to awaken
so disgraceful a recollection : but his im-
prisonment had a higher and more honour-
able origin. The trembling anxiety of
Elizabeth and her ministers, respecting
the safe custody of their most important
captive, the queen of Scots, and the un-
grateful and harassing task imposed upon
the earl of Shrewsbury, as her keeper, are
alike matter of history. Perhaps, when
Elizabeth's illegitimacy in the eyes of the
other sovereigns of Europe, and Mary's
pertinacious claim to her crown, supported,
as it was ready to be, by every state and
almost every individual of the Catholic
faith, be taken into fair consideration, tlie
vexatious treatment of that illustrious pri-
soner will lose somewhat of tlie character
of tyranny and cruelty ascribed to it ;
but, in the mean time, it is notorious that
every avenue of escape, possible or im-
possible, was guarded ,with the narrowest
scrutiny, and every precaution adopted
which the most experienced gaoler could
suggest. It has been shewn that Thomas
Bawdewin was connected with the earl of
Shrewsbury, and in the State Papers of Sir
Ralph Sadlier is a letter from Curie, the
Scotti'^h queen's secretary, to the same gen-
tleman ; much cannot be collected from it,
for it is written in a kind of cypher ; but
this, under the circumstances, would make
it more alarming and of greater apparent
importance ; it evidently relates to some
business of the royal captive, and, from the
repository in which it was found, it must
have reached the hands of government. All
this was quite sufficient in those days to
warrant the apprehension of any one to
whom so suspicious a paper was addressed ;
it bears date September, 1584, the year
preceding the inscription tliat has been
quoted, and must inspire a wish to learn the
issue of its author's confinement ; and this

is supplied by a passage in the pedigree
ain'ady mentioned; but whether Mr. Baw-
dewin was re-ajipointed, after his release,
to liis former oliicial station, and thus ob-
tained an entire vindication of his character,
or whether the appointment preceded his
iniprisoniiient, is not stated in this docu-
ineiit, the passage from uliich is as follows :
— " Thomas Bawdewin,* esq. of Diddle-
bury, by the privie counsell of Queen Eli-
zabeth, appoynted as . . . . (here is a
blank) for the allayres of Mary, (jueen of
Scots, and George, earl of Salop, after tliree
years imprisonment in the Tower, married
Bertran, (this should be Gertrude), daugli-
ter of Robert Corbett, esq. of Stanwardiiie."
After this liberation, he adopted a motto
from the iisalinist, piously ascribing the
event to a merciful Providence : Per Deum
memu transilio murum. He had reason,
indeed, to congratulate himself upon his
escape ; for it was seldom, in those (/olden
days, that any one could do so, who had
once attracted the sinister notice of the
state. Upon the whole it seems most pro-
bable, tiiat, when released, he quitted the
dangerous vortex of a court, and retired to
his paternal estate in Corvedale, where he
died at a good old age, in October, 1614,
and where his posterity continued, for five
generations, until Richard Bawdewin sold
the Diddlebury estate to Frederick Corne-
wall, esq. captain R.N. father of the late
Bishop Worcester, whose son is the present
proprietor.

William Baldwin, second brother of
Thomas Bawdewin, the prisoner, was of
Elsich, in the chapelry of Cerfton and
parish of Diddlebury. The family name had
been hitherto written indiscriminately ; but
from this point of divergence, the two
branches chose to distinguish themselves by
a different mode of spelling. William's
son,

Charles Baldwyn, esq. was born in

* John Bawdewin, second son of this 1'homas,
was servant, in 1616, to Edward 'I'albot, soon af-
terwards Earl of Shrewsbury, and son to Earl
George, in whose service Mr. Bawdewin, the
father, was so long continued. In those days, a
gentleman's son was not considered as submitting
to any degradation by serving a nobleman, or
even a knight, in a menial capacity. Mr. Talbot,
in a letter published in the Strafford Letters,
(page 3), uses the phrase " John Bawdewin, my
man ;" and so in some curious depositions pre-
served in the History of \\ lialley, p. '223, touch-
ing a right of pews in the parish church. Sir John
1'owneley is represented as saying (it was in the
reign of IIknhy Ylll.) " my man, Shuttleworth,
made this form, and here will I sit when 1 come."
The gentleman whom the knight blufHy calls " my
man," was, however, (says Dr. Whitaker,) a
person of property, and was probably his prin-
cipal agent, or perhaps one of his esquires.

CHILDE, OF KINLET.

1593, and in the troubles which marked
the earlier part of the ensuing century,
strenuously sujjported the royal cause. He
represented tlie town of Ludlow, in tlie
long parliament, until he was disabled,
(February 5, 1643,) for deserting (as the
term was) the service of the house, being in
the king's quarters, and adhering to that
party. He married, in 1617, one of the
daughters and co-lieirs of Francis Holland,
of Burwarton, in Shropshire, and either his
estate or delinquency was greater than
those of his cousin, Edward Bawdewin, of
Diddlebury, for while the latter was ad-
m'Ued to compound for £245. Mr. Baldwin
was obliged to pay nearly double that sum.
He had two sons, who both rose to the
honour of knighthood, and to great emi-
nence in different departments of the law,
Samuel (Sir), his heir.
Timothy (Sir), who was admitted of
Baliol College, Oxford, in 1634, (being
then fifteen years of age,) of the
Inner Temple in the following year,
became a fellow of All Souls, and
had obtained so high a character for
knowledge, intrepidity, and loyalty,
as to be selected by the university to
be one of its council on the occasion
of the parliamentary visitation. He
was ejected from his fellowship, but
was afterwards restored, and enjoyed
it in 1663, when, by the name of
Dr. Timothy Baldwyn, he published
Zouch's Tract on the Admiralty. He
became also a master in Chancery,
and chancellor of the diocese of
Chester. In " Wood's Athente" a
more extensive account of his history
may be found. He wj. first, Ellen,
daughter of Sir William Owen, knt.
of Condover, and relict of Sir George
Norton, knt. of Abbots Leigh, near
Bristol, and secondly, Mary, daugh-
ter of Gerard Skrymshire, esq. of
Aqualate, a very distinguished royal-
ist, relict of Nicholas Acton, esq. of
Brockleton, in the county of Wor-
cester, but left no issue.
The elder son.

Sir Samuel Baldwyn, born in 1618, pur-
sued the study of the common law, was ad-
mitted of Baliol College and of the Inner
Temple, at the same time, with his brother,
was made a Serjeant in 1669, king's Ser-
jeant in 1672, and deceasing in 1683, was
buried in the Temple church, being styled
on his monument, " of Stoke Castle," an
estate which he rented, on a long lease,
from the Earl of Craven, and of which place
his brother. Sir Timothy was sometimes
called. Sir Samuel married the daughter
of Richard Walcot, esq. of London, mer-
chant, and was succeeded at his decease in
1683, by his eldest surviving soji.

Mr. Seymour inherited from his father on the 19th of May, 1831.

* By Anne, his wife, daughter of C. Jackson, esq. of Nottinghamshire, Mr. Geale was lier second
husband ; her first, Mr. Kelly, an eminent barrister, fell in a duel with Col. Whaley, and left, (by the
said Anne Jackson) an only daughter and heiress, Frances Kelly, who married Richard Drought, esq.
of the Queen's County, and had several children.

The family of Geale originally came from Lancashire, and settled in Ireland some considerable
number of years back. John Geale, esq. of Mount Geale, in the county of Kilkenny, is the first we
have any account of; and he appears to have made a slight alteration in the spelling of the name,
wliich is usually written Gale by the Lancasliire, and all other branches of the family. He had
several sons, one of whom emigrated to America, and was grandfather of Susanna Geale, 'who
married Alan, first Lord Gardner, by whom she had a numerous issue.

Benjamin Geale succeeded at Mount Geale. He was alderman and lord mayor of Dublin; and
was twice the unsuccessful candidate in two sharply contested elections for the representation of that
city. He married Anne,i eldest daughter of Frederick Falkiner, esq. of Abbot's-town, county of
Dublin, by Elizabeth, daughter of James Hamilton, esq. of Bailiborough, in the county of Cavan, by
whom he had three sons and two daughters, viz.

This family, now settled for nearly three
luuulred years in Ireland, claims to be a
branch of the great house of Seymour,* so
memorable in the eventful times of Henry
VIII. and Edward VI., for the rapidity of
its rise, the vastness of its power, and the
depth of its fall.

Sir John Seymour, eldest son and heir
of Sir Henry Seymour, by his first wife,
Elizabeth, daughter of Sir George Darell,
of Littlecote in Wilts, married Margery,
second daughter of Sir Henry Wentworth,
K.B.,of Nettlested, in the county of Sufl'olk,
and dying in 1536, f left issue,

I. John, who died unm. 15th July, 1520.
ir. Edward, Duke of Somerset, one
day the proud and potent Protector,
ruling without rivalry, and without
control, the next a convicted and de-
capitated traitor, despoiled and at-
tainted. From this unfortunate noble-
man the extant ducal family of
Somerset, and the Marquesses of
Hertford, directly derive.

England, who became the second

on Tower Hill, lOth March, 1.54H-1>,

Lady Seymour survived her husband, and
died in the'year 1550. By her last will she
bequeathed divers legacies of plate, jewels,
&c. to her relations, and mentions Edward
and Henry Seymour, sons of the Duke of
Somerset, as her godsons. The sole exe-
cutorship she confers on her second son,

Sir Henry Seymour, who received the
honor of knighthood at the coronation of his
nephew, Kiiiff Edward VI., being one of
the forty in substitution of knights of the
Bath, who were not created for want of
time to perform the ceremony. In 1551,
then in the king's service, he obtained a
grant of lands ; amongst which were the

the county of Southampton, with tlie parks
and liouse of Marvell, wliich had constituted

tion for life, through the generosity of the

to tlie yearly value of £202. 6s. 9d. Sir
Henry represented the county of Wilts in
tlie parliament called by his nephew, and
served the office of sheritT for the county of
Southampton in 1568. Leading the retired
life of a country gentleman, far removed
from the turmoils of the court, and not
taking any part in the politics of the period,
tiiese grants alone appear to be the extent
of Sir Henry's participation in the fortunes
of his family. He m. Barbara, daughter of
Thomas Morgan, esq. of Tredegar, and left
one son, John (Sir), with several daugh-
ters.* Speaking of Sir Henry Seymour, in
his History of the Reformation, Heylin
has the foUowingsingular narrative : "There
goes a story that the priest officiating at
Ouslebury (of which parish Marvelle was a
part) after the mass had been abolished by
the king's authority, was violently dragged
thence by this Sir Henry, beaten and most
reproachfully handled by him, his servants
universally refusing to serve him as the in-
struments of his rage and fury ; and that
the poor priest, having after an opportunity
to get into the church, did openly curse the
said Sir Henry and his posterity, with bell,
book, and candle, according to the use ob-
served in the church of Rome, which, whe-
ther it was so, or that the main foundation

* Of whom Jane became the wife of Sir Ed-
ward Rodney, of Stoke Rodney, and Pelton, in
Somersetshire, the heiress of wliich family niiirried
Sir Thomas Bridges, of Keinsham, a younger brancli
of the Bridgeses, Dukes of Chandos. Lady Rod-
ney had seventeen children, but her sons having
no issue male, the honors in this branch became
extinct. It was this Lady Rodney who, in con-
junction with her son-in-law, Sir Theodore New-
ton, of Bilton, in tlie county of Gloucester, bes-
towed the choir organ (which now stands on the
north side) upon the abbey church at Bath. Her
eldest son married a daughter of Sir Robert
Southwell, of Woodrising, in Norfolk. George
llodnev, the second son, wedded Anne, daughter
of Sir Tliomas Lnke, of Cannons, in INIiddlesex.
She was widow of William Cecil, Lord Ros, who
d. s. p. in 1618, and was involved with her mo-
ther. Lady Lake, (daughter of Sir Williaiu Ry-
ther, lord mayor of London) in fomenting disputes
between his lordship and liis grandmotlier, tlie
old ('ountess of Exeter, wliich eventually became
so serious as to deprive Sir Thomas Lake, then
Secretary of State, of the king's favor, and of all
liis offices of emolument and lioiior. (For tliis

of their estate being laid on sacrilege, conld
promise no long blessing to it, certain it is,
that his posterity was brought beneath a
degree of poverty." Sir Henry dying in
1578, was *. by his son,

Sir John Seymour, knt. of Marvell, wlio
had served the office of sheriff for Soutli-
ampton, in 1568. This gentleman m. Susan,
youngest daughter of Lord Chidiock Pow-

decease three sons,

Edward,"! upon whom the downfall of
Henry, r their family appears to have
Thomas, J entailed the most woeful
consequences, lowering the unfortu-
nate brothers not only from tlieir
grade in society, but reducing them
to actual poverty, until, to quote
Heylin again, " There remained
not to any one of them one foot of
land, or so much as a penny of money
to supply their necessities, but what
they have from the charity of the
Marquis of Hertford, and the charity
of the well disposed people which
have atfection or relation to them."
Having alienated tlieir paternal pro-
perty, the three brothers emigrated
to Irelaiul, and established them-
selves at Limerick, then much fre-
quented by settlers from England :
the two younger, Henry and Thomas,
dying without issue, the line of Ed-
W;VRD, therefore, alone remains.

t Two years before his death, Captain Seymour
made an extraordinary escape from the French

* Mr. Crossley was the son of Abraham Cross-
ley, esq. a younger son of John Crossley, es().
of Scaytcliffe, near Todmorden, in Lancashire.
He published " a Peerage," in folio, above one
liundred and twenty years ago, which is now so
scarce, that a copy is rarely to be met with. It
was jirinted in Dublin in 1710, at which period
the author held a situation of some importance in
the Herald's otfice there, and was esteemed learned
in antiquities. In the preface, he has preserved
much of the history of the Irish branch of tlie
Sej-mours, to whose representative his eldest
daughter was then united, and upon his authority
their descent from the family of the protector, as
we have now detailed, is chiefly founded. Mr.
Crossley further mentions, that Mrs. Seymour,
the s:reat grandmother of his son-in-law, was then
very far advanced in life, having endured all the
horrors of the siege of Limerick, and that from her
he ascertained that her husband had come from
" Marvell,"in Hampshire, with many of the other
particulars which he had embodied in his work.

Susanna, the other daughter and co-heir of
Aaron Crossley, married Clictwood Eustace, who
succeeded to the dignity of Lord I'ortlester, of
Harristoun, in the county of Kildare, and left,
with two daughters, Elizabeth and Abigail, who
both died unm. a son, William Eustace, successor
to his father in the barony of Portlester, who m.
Elizabeth, daughter of — Dalton, esq. but leav-
ing no issue, the peerage at his decease became
extinct.

t Bv his wife, Madamoiselle Gabrielle Fonne-
reau, of the citv of La Rochelle, sister of Zacharie
Fonnereau, who fled on the revocation of the
Edict of Nants, and settling in London, became
the founder of the family of Fonnereau of Christ-
Church Park, in Suffolk. iMadamoiselle Gabrielle
abandoned La Belle France for a similar cause,
and sought an asylum in Ireland, at the time that
the La I'ouclie's and other families of resjiectaliility
took refuge in that country. She was naturalized
at the Court of Queen's Bencli in Dublin, on the
lOtli February, 1710, upon taking the necessary
oaths.

The old and knightly race of HoRSLEY,
from which the estates of Felton and Hors-
ley have come, through the Widdringtons,
to the Riddells, were land owners in Nor-
thumberland* at a very remote period, pro-
bably preceding the time of Henry HI.
for Roger de Horsley occurs as a witness
to a deed without a date, by which Roger de
Merlay conveyed five bovates of land, situa-
ted in Horsley, Sheles, andTodburn, to Adam
de Plesseto and his heirs.
The name of

Sir John de Horsley, Knight Banneret,
appears in a document written about 1522,
as John Horsley, and as then dwelling in a
place belonging to his father, over whose
lands, to the value of fifty marks yearly he
had the whole rule ; beside which, he him-
self had lands, out of which he could dispend
£40 a year, and serve the king with thirty
horsemen. In 1547, he fought at Mussel-
burgh, and was made a Banneret on the
field of battle. In 1552, he was a commis-
sioner of enclosures, in the East Marclies, at
which time he was Captain of Bamborough
Castle, and he and Sir John Foster had the
appointment of the watch in that year, from
Warnmouth to Doxford Burn. He left, with
a daughter, Isabella, of whom presently,

The ancient family of Long, now repre-
sented through his mother byMr.Wellesley
(lor whose paternal descent refer to Burke's

Peerage) flourished in the county of Wilts,
for many generations, ' knyghtes,' as Cam-
den says, ' and men of greate worship.'
We find them first established at South
Wraxall, in that county, but whether by
grant, by purchase, or by marriage, does
not distinctly appear.* The tradition men-

* We shall give the account of their supposed
origin in the words of Leland and Camden, pre-
mising, however, that persons styled le I>ong and
Longus, are to be met with in deeds considerably
anterior to the time stated, as for example. Sir
William le Long, a knigbt of Gloucestershire,
temp. Henry III. bearing for bis arms, gules a
saltire engrailed, or. Ayhner Long stated to have
Iield one knight's fee, in Wilts, in the 1,5th of
Henry II. Eobert I>ong, who held land at
Langley Burrell, in the same countv, about the
time of Henry III. Gilbert and .John Long,
sons of Walter Long, said to have founded the
hospital of St. .rohn, at Exeter, in the 23rd of
Henry III. Leland writes as follows:

tioned by that author, of tlipir alliance to
the Preux faniily, is in some degree sup-
ported by the close resemblance of the
coat of arms (the coate of Preux being
sa. semee of cross crosslets, or, 3 lioncels
rampant argent) while the descents bear out
the statement of Leland. However this may
be, it is clear that they were of some repute
as early as the time of Henry IV. and a
monument of about that date in the church
of Wraxall, sufficiently attests the respect-
ability of one of their first alliances, the
bearings on it being Long, impaling Berkley,
quartering Seymour. Tradition begins the
pedigree with a Long, married to a Stourton,
to whom succeeded his son, married to a
Berkley, of Beverstone, who was again suc-
ceeded by his son, Roger Long, or le Long,
married to a Seymour, or St. Maur. With-
out dismissing these personages as alto-
gether fabulous, (for there really are some
grounds for a portion at least of the theory),
we shall begin with the first known possessor
of Wraxall, namely

Robert Long, or Longe, who was in
the commission of the peace in 1426, and
was M. P. for Wiltshire in 1433. He m.
Alice, daughter and heiress of Reginald
Pophani,* of North Bradley, in the county
of Wilts, and had issue,

I. Henry, his heir.

II. John, VI. Margaret, daughter of
Edward Wayte, by the heiress of

" The original setting up of the House of the
Longes, came (as I learned from Mr. Boneham)
by these means. One Long Thomas, a stoute
felaw, was sette up by one of the old Lordes Hun-
geifordes ; and after by cause this Thomas was
cauUid long Thomas, Long after was usurped for
the i name of the family. This Long Thomas
master had sum lande by Hungreford's procu-
ration. Then succeeded hym Robert and Henry.
Then came one Thomas Long, descending of a
younger brother, and good skille of the lawe, and
had the inheritances of the aforesaid Longes. Syr
Henry and Syr Richard Longe, were sunnes to
this Thomas."

Camden, in his Remains, says :

" In respect of stature, I could recite to you
other examples ; but I will only add this, which I
have read, that a young gentleman of the house of
Preux, being of tall stature, attending on tlie Lord
Hungerford, Lord Treasurer of England, was
among his fellows called Long H., who after pre-
ferred to a good marriage by his Lord, was called
H. Long, that name continued to his posterity,
knights and men of greate worship."

The name of Preux occurs in the roll of Battle
Abbey, and the family was seated at Gidley Cas-
tle, in Devonshire, soon after the conquest. Wil-
liam lo Preux was member for Wilton, in Wilt-
shire, 28th of Edward I.

heir of Thomas Wayte, of the Tem-
ple, and of Draycot, and had issue,

1. Thomas, afterwards Sir Thomas.

2. Richard, (Sir).

3. William.

III. Reginald, died before 1490.
Robert Long died subsequently to 1459,
(when we find him mentioned in the will of
Robert, Lord Hungerford, son of the Lord
Treasurer) and was succeeded by his son,

Henry Long, of Wraxall, who was sheriff
of Wilts in 1457, 1476 and 1483. He m. first,
Joan, daughter of — Ernleigh, but by her,
who died 1468, had no issue ; secondly, Mar-
garet daughter of John Newburgh, of Lull-
worth, in the county of Dorset, by whom
also he had no issue, and tliirdly, another
Joan, who survived him, and had likewise
no issue. We find hira mentioned in the
will of Margaret Lady Hungerford, the re-
lict of Robert before mentioned, in 1479.
He died October 20, 1490, and was buried
in the chancel of the Church of Wraxall,
being succeeded in his estates by his nephew.

Sir Thomas Long, of Wraxall and
Draycot, knt. Sheriff of Wilts in 1501, %vho
was among the "great compaignye of noble
men," who served under Edward, Duke of
Buckingham, against Perkin Warbeck (see
Hardyng's Chronicles). He received the
honour of knighthood at the marriage of
Prince Arthur, and married Mary, daughter
of Sir George Darell, of Littlecote,| in the
county of Wilts, and had issue,

with that of the Judge, does not distinctly appear.
There is, however, but little doubt of the affinity.
A moiety of the manor of Barton Stacey, in Hants,
was held by Robert Long, in the 25th of Henry
VI. and by his son, John, in the 18th of Edward
IV. which manor was held by Sir Philip Popham,
and Elizabeth, his wife, in the 21st of Richard II.

t The Cernes were Lords of Melcombe, in the
county of Dorset, in the time of Richard I. and
Galfridus de Cerne was Lord of Draycot, in the
time of Henry III. The property, and with it
the advowson, has descended, therefore, without
alienation to the present possessor through six
centuries, of which it was in the Long family for
nearly four. The last of the Cemes, Lords of
Draycot, (Richard de Cerne) died in the 8th of
Henry VI. and was succeeded by John de Her-
ringe, from whom the property passed, through
the Waytes, to the Longs ; but by what inter-
marriage is not exactly known. The other sister
and co-heiress of Thomas Wayte, married Sir
John Chalers, knt. who was sheriff of Berks in
1449. Draycot was held by the service of being
marshal at the coronation.

X The Darells were settled in Wiltshire, by
the marriage of William Darell, a younger son
of Darell, of Sesay, in Yorkshire, with Elizabeth
Calston, the heiress of Littlecote. The Calstons
had previously intermarried with a co-heiress of
St. Martin, One of the daughters of Sir George

garet daughter of John Newburgh, of Lull-
worth, in the county of Dorset, by whom
also he had no issue, and thirdly, another
Joan, who survived him, and had likewise
no issue. We find him mentioned in the
will of Margaret Lady Hungerford, the re-
lict of Robert before mentioned, in 1479.
He died October 20, 1490, and was buried
in the chancel of the Church of Wraxall,
being succeeded in his estates by his nephew.
Sir Thomas Long, of Wraxall and
Draycot, knt. Sheriff of Wilts in 1501, who
was among the "great compaignye of noble
men," who served under Edward, Duke of
Buckingham, against Perkin Warbeck (see
Hardyng's Chronicles). He received the
honour of knighthood at the marriage of
Prince Arthur, and married Mary, daughter
of Sir George Darell, of Littlecote,]; in the
county of Wilts, and had issue.

" The original setting up of the House of the
Longes, came (as I learned from Mr. Bonehnm)
by these means. One Long Thomas, a stoute
felaw, was sette up by one of the old Lordes Hun-
gerfordes ; and after by cause this Thomas was
caullid long Thomas, Long after was usurped for
the i name of the family. This Long Thomas
master had sum lande by Hungreford's procu-
ration. Then succeeded hym Robert and Henry.
Then came one Thomas Long, descending of a
younger brother, and good skille of the lawe, and
had the inheritances of the aforesaid Longes. Syr
Henry and Syr Richard Longe, were sunnes to
this Thomas."

Camden, in his Remains, says :

" In respect of stature, I could recite to you
other examples ; but I will only add this, which I
have read, that a j'oung gentleman of the house of
Preux, being of tall stature, attending on tlie Lord
Hungerford, Lord Treasurer of England, was
among his fellows called Long H., who after pre-
ferred to a good marriage by his Lord, was called
H. Long, that name continued to his posterity,
knights and men of greate worship."

The name of Preux occurs in the roll of Battle
Abbey, and tlie family was seated at Gidley Cas-
tle, in Devonshire, soon after the conquest. Wil-
liam le Preux was member for Wilton, in Wilt-
shire, 28th of Edward I.

* The connection of this family of Popham,

with that of the Judge, does not distinctly appear.
There is, however, but little doubt of the affinity.
A moiety of the manor of Barton Stacey, in Hants,
was held by Robert Long, in the 25th of Henry
VI. and by his son, John, in the 18th of Edward
IV. which manor was held by Sir Philip Popham,
and Elizabeth, his wife, in the 21st of Richard II.
t The Cemes were Lords of Melcombe, in the
county of Dorset, in the time of Richard I. and
Galfridus de Cerne was Lord of Draycot, in the
time of Henry III. The property, and with it
the advowson, has descended, therefore, without
alienation to the present possessor through six
centuries, of which it was in the Long family for
nearly four. The last of the Cernes, Lords of
Draycot, (Richard de Cerne) died in the 8th of
Henry VL and was succeeded by John de Her-
ringe, from whom the property passed, through
the Waytes, to the Longs ; but by what inter-
marriage is not exactly known. The other sister
and co-heiress of Thomas Wayte, married Sir
John Chalers, knt. who was sheriff of Berks in
1449. Draycot was held by the service of being
marshal at the coronation.

X The Darells were settled in W^iltshire, by
the marriage of William Darell, a younger son
of Darell, of Sesay, in Yorkshire, with Elizabeth
Calston, the heiress of Littlecote. The Calstons
had previously intermarried with a co- heiress of
St. Martin. One of the daughters of Sir George

Longs is in the descendants of this marriage, if
any exist. If not, it vests in tlie present Sir
Bourchier Wrey, the issue of Catharine, wife of
John I^ong, bein^; now extinct.

t This family is alluded to in a note (vol. ii, p.
165). Its most distinguished members were Sir
Walter Long, bart. of Whaddon, the celebrated
parliamentarian, and Sir Lislebone Long, knt.
of Stratton in Somersetshire, speaker of the House
ol° Commoas on Chute's illness, in 1638.

1673. Sir Robert was a great
favourite of the Queen, and is fre-
quently mentioned, but in no friendly
terms, by Clarendon. His arms may
be seen in glass in the hall at Lin-
coln's Inn.

the county of Stafford.

* Richard Long, of CoUingbourne, was the
direct ancestor of R. G. Long, esq. of Rowd
Ashton, late M. P. for Wilts. Sir Bourchier
Wrey is the representative of Henrj' Long of
Melksham, and Walter Long, esq. now M. P. for
Wilts (the son of ftlr. R. G. Long) is therefore
(through his mother, who is Sir Bourchier Wrey's
sister) descended from John Long, of Wraxall,
who died in 1652. Mr. Long of Rowd Ashton
is the present possessor of Wraxall, which he in-
herited under the will of Walter Long, grandson
of Catharine, sister of Hope Long.

t The story of the separation of the two proper-
ties of Wraxall and Draycot, by the machinations
of this lady, who had endeavoured to secure both
for her son AV alter, is thus related by Aubrey in
his miscellanies :

" Sir Walter Long, of Draycot, (grandfather of
Sir James Long) had two wives ; the first a dau.
ot'Sir — Packington, in Worcestershire, by whom
he had a son. I lis second wife was a daughter
of Sir John Thjmne, of Long-Leat, by whom he
liad several sons and daughters. The second wife
did use much artifice to render the son by the
first wife (who had not much Promethean fire)
odious to his father ; she would get her acquaint-
ance to make him drunk, and then expose him in
that condition to his father ; in fine she never left
oft' her attempts, till she got Sir Walter to disin-

Whitley, in Wilts.

V. Elizabeth, m. to William Wisdom,
of Oxfordshire.

V). Dorothy, m. to Ralph Goodwin,
of Ludlow, a learne<l autlior, and,
aecordiiig to Aubrey, an excellent
poet.

Sir Walter Lonp died in IfUO, and was *.
at Wraxall by his son Joiiu before men-
tioned. His eldest son by his second mar-
riage,

Sir Walter Long, knt. succeeded to
Draycot. He was M.P. for Wilts, and for
Westbury in 1625; m. first, Anne, daughter
of James Ley, Earl of Marlborough, Lord
High Treasurer of England, and had issue,

James, his heir.
He m. secondly, Elizabeth, daughter of

herit Lira. She laid the scene for the doing this
at Bath, at the assizes, where was her brother,
Sir Egrimond 'J'hynne, an eminent Serjeant-at-law,
who drew up the writing ; and his clerk was to
sit up all night to engross it ; as lie was writing,
he perceived a shadow on the parchment from the
candle ; he looked up, and there appeared a hand,
which immediately vanished ; he was startled at
it, but thought it might be only his fancy, being
sleepy, so he writ on ; by and by a fine white hand
interposed between the writing and the candle
(he could discern it was a woman's hand) but
vanished as before ; I have forgot, it appeared a
third time. But with that the clerk threw down
his pen, and would engross no more, but goes and
tells his master of it, and absolutely refused to do
it. But it was done by somebody, and Sir Wal-
ter Long was prevailed with to seal and sign it.
He lived not long after ; and his body did not go
quiet to the g-rave, it being arrested at the church
porch by the trustees of the first lady. The heir's
relations took his part, and commenced a suit
against Sir Walter (the second son) and com-
pelled Inm to accept of a moiety of the estate ; so
the eldest son kept south Wraxall, and Sir Wal-
ter, the second son, Draycot Cernes, &c. This
was about the middle of the reign oi'Klng James I."
Sir Walter's will was proved in 1610, and bears
out this statement. Supernatural agencies were
very active against this lady. " Sir Walter Long's
(of Draycott, in Wilts) widow," says Aubrey, "did
make a solemn promise to him, on his death bed,
that she wouldnot marry after his decease. But not
long after, one Sir — Fox, a very beautiful young
gentleman, did win her love ; so that notwithstand-
ing her promise aforesaid, she married him. She
married at South Wraxall, where the picture of Sir
Walter hung over the parlour door, as it doth now
at Draycot. As Sir — Fox led his bride by the
hand from the church (which is near to the house)
into the parlour, the string of tlie picture broke,
and the picture fell on her shoulder, and cracked
in the fall : (it was painted on wood as was the
fashion in those days). This made her ladyship
reflect on her promise, and drew some tears from
her eyes."

George Master, esq. of Cirencester, and
by her (who remarried Edward Uldisworth,
oi" IJradley, county of Gloucester, and died
1()6H, ag(!(l 68, being buried at Wotton-
under-edge,) had issue,

death of his uncle Sir Robert, agreeably to

the limitation, m. Dorothy, daughter of Sir

Edward Leech, knt, of Shipley, county of

Derby, and by her, who d. 1710, had issue,

James, who predeceased his father,

leaving by his first wife, Susan,

daughter of Colonel Giles Strang-

wayes, of Melbury, several children,!

who all d, s. p. excepting James,

(successor to his^ grandfather ; and

* He was the friend of Aubrey, who writes, ' I
should be both orator and soldier to give this
honoured friend of mine, a gentleman absolute in
all numbers, his due character.' He says that he
was of Westminster School, and afterwards of
Magdalen College, Oxford, that his wife was a
" most elegant beautie and wit," and that he
commanded a regiment of horse during the civil
wars. In this character, although the worthy
antiquary would have him dedicated " tam marti
quam mercurio," he does not appear to have been
fortunate, his whole regiment having been cap-
tured by Waller and Cromwell, near Devizes, in
1645. Clarendon says, " by reason of his great
defect of courage and conduct," but Clarendon
had a quarrel with his uncle the secretary, as
appears in various parts of his history, and other
accounts exonerate Sir James from blame.

Aubrey continues the summing up of his friend's
character as follows. " Good sword-man ; admi-
rable extempore orator ; great memorie ; great
historian and romanceer ; great falconer and for
horsemanship. For insects exceedingly curious,
and searching long since in natural things. Oli-
ver, Protector, hawking at Hounslowe heath, dis-
coursing with him, fell in love with his company,
and commanded him to weai-e his sword, and to
meet him hawking, which made the strict cava-
liers look on him with an evil eye."

His love of ' natural things' seems to have been
inherited from his grandfather, who, " about the
beginning of King James, digged for silver," at
Draycot, " through blue clay, and got £20 worth,
but at £60 charge or better ! !"

t His daughter Anne, who died unmarried
22nd December, 1711, was a distinguished person
in the fashionable world, both for her beauty^ and
her accomplishments. She figures in " The Bri-
tish Court," a poem published in 1707. Lord
Wharton wrote the following verses round one of
the glasses at the Kit-cat club in compliment to
her :

" Fill the glass ; let the haut-boys sound

While bright Longy's health goes round.

With eternal beauty blest.

Drink your glass, and think the rest."

sequence of pecuniary distresses. Her last letter

BETTON, OF GREAT BERWICK.

BETTON, RICHARD, esq. b. 3rd October, 1808; m. on the 13th October, 1831,
Charlotte- Margaretta, yoiin<yest daughter of the late Richard Salwey, esq. of Moor
Park, near Ludlow, county of Salop.

Ufneac^e.

f

This family is one of the most ancient in
the county of Salop, and is presumed to
have been originally seated at Betton
Strange, near Shrewsbury,

By deed, dated the 2nd of Richard II.
(1378), we learn that John de Betton was
then dead, having left Margaret, his widow,
and Richard de Betton, his son and heir.
This Richard was father of

William Bet ton, of Great Berwick, near
Shrewsbury, whose residence there in the
year 1403 is proved by the records in the
Exchequer of the town of Shrewsbury. The
celebrated battle of Shrewsbury was fought
close to his estate on the 20th of July in
tiiat year; and on the evening preceding
the battle, the renowned Henry Hotspur
took, possession of the house of William
Betton, and made it his head quarters, to
the great loss and annoyance of the pro-
prietor, who suffered much by the contri-
butions levied upon him by that impetuous
young nobleman and his followers. An
anecdote in accordance witli the superstition
of that period is connected with Hot-
spur's sojourn here. In the morning pre-
vious to the battle, his forces having moved
about a mile from Great Berwick towards
the scene of action, and Hotspur having
placed himself at tlieir head, he perceived
that an engagement was unavoidable, on
which he called for his favourite sword. His

attendants informed him that it was left
behind at Berwick, of which village it does
not appear that he had till then learned the
name. At these words he turned pale, and
said, " I perceive that my plough is draw-
ing to its last furrow ; for a wizard told me
in Northumberland, that I should perish at
Berwick, which I vainly interpreted of that
town in the north." The result of tiie battle
is matter of history, and universally known.

LYSONS, OF HEMPSTED.

LYSONS, The Revercyid SAMUEL, of Hempsted Court, in the county of Glou-
cester, b. 17th March, 1806, m. 1st January, 1834, Eliza-Sophia-Theresa-Henrietta,
eldest daughter of Major-general Sir Lorenzo Moore, K.C.H. and C.B. and has a

daughter.

Alice-Euzabf.th.

Mr. Lysons succeeded his father 3rd January, 1834.
in the commission of the peace for Gloucestershire,

He is rector of Rodmarton, and

Uincagc.

This family, which has been established
for nearly three centuries in the county of
Gloucester, is traditionally said to have mi-
grated thither from Wales. Leland, in his
Itinerary, makes mention of the Lysans as
inhabiting the town of Neath, in Glamor-
ganshire, temp. Henry VIIL then in re-
duced circumstances. " One Lysan, a
gentilman of auncient stok but mene landes
about XL li by the yere dwellith in the
towne of Nethe. The Lysans say that
theire familie was there in fame before the
conquest of the Normans." And in the
cathedral church of Llandaff one of the
stalls is entitled Sancti Dulbritii sive Doc-
toris Lysons, founded temp. Henry VIIL
Lewis Leysaunce, or Lysons, was sheriff
of Gloucester 4th Edward VI. and master
of Margaret's Hospital in that city, 2nd and

In the register of burials for Westbury
upon Severn, where the family settled about
the year 1550, occur the names of John Ly-
sons, interred 3rd January, 1587, and Alice,
his wife, buried 2nd May, 1598.

William Leyson, Lison, or Lysons (for
the name is written in several different ways
in the registers), supposed to have been a

son of .John and Alice, bought an estate
called Netherlay, or the Lower Lay, in the
parish of Westbury on Severn, in the year
1606. He m. a lady named Anne, and had

and Cherington, who in. Mary, daugbter of
Samuel Peach, esq. of Chalford, in Glou-
cestershire, and had issue,
i. Daniel, his lieir.

II. Samuel, born 17th May, 1763, the
eminent writer on British topography
and antiquities. In 1784, having
previously become a member of the
Inner Temple, Mr. Lysons came to
London, and there practised as a
special pleader until 1798, when he
was called to the bar. In 1786 he
was elected a member of the Society
of Antiquaries, and it may be justly
said that no individual ever more
zealously or more successfully sup-
ported its character and usefulness.
During eleven years he held the ho-
norary office of director, and was
eventually appointed one of its vice-
presidents. In 1797 he became a
member of the Royal Society ; and
in 1810 was selected for its vice-pre-
sident and director. " Till the be-
ginning of the year 1804," says Mr.
Jerdan, in his interesting account of
this distinguished antiquary, " Mr.
Lysons continued to practise with
considerable success at the bar, and
went the Oxford circuit, notwith-
standing his increasing distaste to
what he often forcibly termed,
' brawling in a court |of justice.'
At that period, however, an event
occurred which led him to the unin-
terrupted pursuit of those ol)jects for
which his mind was so peculiarly
framed. At the close of the preced-
ing year, the oflice of keeper of the
records in the Tower had become
vacant, and was -onferrcd upon

liini." This appointment he held
until his death, in 1819. The works
of Mr. Lysons relate principally to
the Roman antiquities of Britain, in-
cluding " Reliquiae Brittanico-Ro-
manae ;" " Roman Remains disco-
vered at Woodchester," &c. He
also published a volume of Miscella-
neous Antiquities of Gloucestershire;
and, in conjunction with his brother,
the Rev. Daniel Lysons, the earlier
volumes of that great topographical
work, the " Magna Britannia."
There were but few eminent men of
liis day, either as literary characters
or patrons of literature, that Mr.
Lysons did not number among his
friends and acquaintance. On a
short visit to London in the summer
of 1784, to enter at the Temple, he
was the bearer of an introductory
letter from Mrs. Thrale to Dr. John-
son, who in his reply, dated the 26th
June, says, " this morning I saw Mr.
Lysons ; he is an agreeable young
man, and likely enough to do all he
designs. I received him as one sent
by you ought to be received, and I
hope he will tell you he was satis-
fied." In the first week that he came
to settle in London he was introduced
to Sir Joseph Banks, with whom he
continued on terms of intimate friend-
ship till his death. His introduction
to Horace Walpole occurred about
the same time, and with Sir Thomas
Lawrence he continued ever in cor-
dial friendship. To his profound
knowledge of history and antiquities
Mr. Lysons united great classical
learning ; and the comprehensive
powers of his memory assisted him
in his labours, and gave peculiar
charms to his conversation. He died
unmarried in 1819, esteemed and re-
spected as a son, a brother, and a
friend.

Ievan Morice, youngest son of Morys
ap Morgan, and brother to William Morys,
the progenitor of the Kentisli f;iniily, was
fellow of All Souls, Oxford, doctor of laws,
and chancellor of Exeter, in 1594. He m.
Mary, daughter of John Castle, esq. of
Ashbury, in Devon, and by her (who wed-
ded, secondly. Sir Nicholas Prideaux, knt.
of Souldon) left at his decease, in 1605, a
son,

Sir William Morice, born in the parish
of St. Martin, Exeter, 6th November, 16()'2,
who was left under the guardianship of his
mother. At the age of eighteen, he was
entered a fellow commoner of Exeter Col-
lege, Oxford, and there pursued his studies
with such diligence and success, that Dr.
Prideaux, at that time rector of Exeter,
would frequently say tliat though Morice
was but little in stature, yet in time he would
come to be great in tlie state. "Sir U'il-
liam," says an almost contemporaneous wri-

ter,* *' having proceeded bachelor of arts,
retired into his county, and lived with his
mother at Chuston, in West Putford, a small
parish, six miles to the west of Bytheford,
where he most sedulously followed his stu-
dies ; and his mother, till her decease, which
was in October, 1647, managing all his con-
cerns, he had leisure to furnish himself
with all sorts of good literature. Soon after
his return home, he was married to one of
the grand-daughters of Sir Nicholas Pri-
deaux ; and in the year 1640 his name was
inserted in the commission of the peace for
Devon. In 1645, he was chosen knight of
the shire for Devon, to serve in the long-
parliament, but did not take his seat until
General Monk restored the secludt d mem-
bers. In 1651, he was made high sheritf,
having, during the previous year, settled
his family at Werrington, on the borders of
Cornwall, which estate he had purchased
from Sir Francis Drake, bart. of Buckland.
In 1658, he was chosen a burgess for New-
port, in Cornwall, and being related, by his
wife, to General Monk, he contracted an
acquaintance with him, and so far recom-
mended himself to the general's esteem,
that, on his coming to England, he made
choice of him for his chief, if not only, con-
fidant in the management of the great affair
of the king's restoration, wherefore, in Fe-
bruary, 1659, Morice received from his
majesty, by the hands of Sir John Gran-
ville, the signet of secretary of state ; and,
in 1660, on the king's landing, was honoured
with knighthood. In 1661, Sir William
became M. P. for Plymouth ; and, in 1668,
having continued in the no less laborious
than honourable office of principal secre-
tary of state, for more than seven years,
being also well stricken in years, and know-
ing, that between the bustles of life and the
business of death there ought to be allowed
a certain space of time, fully satiated with
the delights and glories of the court, pru-
dently craved his majesty's leave that he
might withdraw from thence : and so, with
the king's gracious consent, he resigned his
secretaryship, and was succeeded therein
by Sir John Trevor. Which done, Sir
William retreated into his own country,
and passed the remainder of his days in a
quiet retirement, at his house at Werring-
ton, where he erected a fair library, valued
at £1200: nor was lie wanting in works of
charity, for he built and endowed an alms-
house for six poor people, in the parish of
Sutcombe, near Holdsworthy, where each
of the occupants liatli two fair rooms, and
two shillings a week duly paid them. There
was one thing singular in this lionourable

ing in his paw an ear of Big-wheat," may
possibly allude to the acquisition of the es-
tate by grant from one of the feudal lords
of that period, who is said to have carried a
similar bearing. It was not unusual in those
times to permit a follower to assume part
of his chieftain's arms. From the remains
still existing of many old towers on the
coast of Lancashire, it may be inferred that
the county was subject to incursions from
the northern powers, and thence a satisfac-
tory reason may be derived why the family
documents of the Biglands do not ascend to
an earlier era than to the date when the at-
tested pedigree commences. Besides, it
does not appear that the herald's visitations

Hincaar.

The name of the Sieur de Bray occurs
in tlie Roll of Battle Abbey, amongst the
associates in arms of the Conqueror, and
although the authenticity of that celebrated
record has in niany instances been ques-
tioned, in this the statement is confirmed by
the fact of Wiu.iam de Bray being one of
the subscribing witnesses to the charter of
the year 1088, conferred by the Norman on
the Abbey he had founded in commemora-
tion of his triumph at Hastings. No grant
of lands appears however in Domesday
Book to the Brays ; but that the family sup-
plied sheriffs* to Northamptonshire, Bed-
fordshire, Bucks, and some other counties
between 1202 and 1273, is fully established.

William de Bray witnessed tlie charter
to Battle Abbey in 1088.

Ralph de Bray was sheriff of the coun-
ties of Northampton, Southampton, Somer-
set, Dorset, Oxford, Leicester, Bedford, and
Bucks, in the reigns of the Kiiu/s John
and Henry HI. that is between the years
1202 and 1234. In tlie 17th of the latter
monarch, in the great quarrel between the
King and Hubert do Burgh, Earl of Kent,

• The sheriff of a county is an officer of high
rank and importance in the present day, but was
of still higher at the time when much of the reve-
nues of the Crown arose from escheats, the levy
of which required tlie assistance of tlie sheriff,
who was responsible to the king for the produce.

t From the time of the Saxon kings, churches
and churchyards, under certain modifications, af-
forded sanc'tuarv to offenders, with the exception
of those guilty of sacrilege or treason. 1 he cri-
minal within forty days was oldiged to cloathe
himself in sackcloth, confess his crime before the
coroner, solemnly abjure the realm, and taking a
cross in his hand repair to an appointed port, em-
bark and depart the country. If apprehended, or
brought back in his way thither within forty days,
Le had a right to plead privilege of sanctuary,

chapel of Brentwood, in Essex, belonging
to the Abbot of Waltham, Henry appointed
Ralph de Bray and Ralph de Norwich (jus-
ticiarios nostros) to receive from the earl
an abjuration of the king's realm, if he
would not go out of sanctuary, and appear
in the king's courts and abide the judgment
there ; or to do him justice in the king's
court if he would quit sanctuary, and ap-
pear therein according to the agreement
between the king and him.

In the 44th of Henry III. 1260,

William de Bray was possessed of two
knights' fees in WoUaston, and obtained a
weekly market on Thursday at his manor
there, and a fair every year on the eve of
the invention of the Holy Cross and two
days following. He was succeeded by

Sir Robert de Bray, one of the knights
returned as having £40 a year in land, in
the county of Northampton, summoned to
attend Kinc/ Edward I. in his wars in Scot-
land, and again by King Edward II. This
Sir Robert, under the designation of Sir
Robert de Bray, of WoUaston, attended the
sheriff of Northampton, in 1304, to arrest
Nicholas, Lord Seagrave, on his lordship's
return from the Continent, he having left
England without the king's license, to settle
a dispute in the court of the King of France
between himself and John de Cornwell. Sir
Robert de Bray, amongst bis other trusts,
was ranger of Sancy Forest, in Northamp-
tonshire. He was s. by his son,

Sir James de Bray, living /(??»/). Richard

Anselm de Bray, was s. by his son,

and to demand a free passage. Should the of-
fender neglect this appeal to the coroner, and
remained in the sanctuary, when the forty days
limited had expired, it became an act of felony in
any one to afford him sustenance. The coroner
was to take the abjuration of the criminal at the
church in the following form :

" This hear then, Sir Coroner, that 1

am a murderer of one or more, a
stealer of sheep, (or any thing else), and because
I have done many such evils and robberies in
this land, 1 do abjure the realm of our Edward,
King of England, and 1 shall hasten me towards
the port of which tlmu hast given me ;

and that 1 shall not go out of the highway, and
if 1 do I will that 1 be taken as a robber and a
felon of our lord tlie king, and that at such place
I will diligently seek for passage, and that I will
tarry there but one flood or ebb, if I can have
p,^ssage ; and unless I can have it in such a place
1 will go every day into the sea up to my knees
assaying to pass over ; and unless 1 can do this,
within forty days, 1 will put myself again into the
church, as a robber and felon of our lord the king,
so God me help and his holy judgment."

Sir Richard JJray, is said by some to
have been of tiic privy roiincil to Henry
VI. ; by otiiers he is called tlie Kinj;'s Phy-
sician ; the former is the more probable, as
lie was buried in Worcester cathedral. He
had two wives; by the fust, Margaret, dau.
of John Sandes, esq. of Furnes Felles, in
Lancashire, lie had an only son,

John (Sir), whose only daughter and
heir,

Margaret Bray, espoused Sir
A^'illialn Sandys, summoned to
parliament in 1529, as Baron
Sandys, of the Vhie, and con-
veyed to his lordsliip a consi-
derable estate.* The barony of
Sandys fell into ahei/ance, on the
decease of the eightli lord, about
the year 1700, and it so con-

By the second, Joan, Sir Richard had two

other sons, namely,

1. Reginald (Sir), who being in the
service of Margaret, Countess of
Richmond, X was confidentially em-
ployed in the negotiations preceding
the enterprize of her son, the earl,
which placed that prince on the throne
as Henry YII. Sir Reginald was
made a knight banneret at Bosworth,
and afterwards one of the knights of
the body to tlie new king, who fur-
ther rewarded his fidelity and zeal

* There is an old room at the \'ine wainscotted,
on wh'cli Margaret Bray's arms with those of
Sandys appear carved in several places ; they re-
main also on some stones of tlie now ruined cha-
pel of the Holv Ghost, near Basingstoke, and on
a wall in Basing-stoke church. On the subject of
Lord Sandys' alliance with the heiress of Bray,
tradition preserves the following distich :

My Lord Sandys, my Lord Sandys,
Lift up both your hands,

And down on your knees and pray,
That when you come from France,
You may lead up the dance,

With good Mistress ^largery Bray.

X Reginald Bray was receiver-general to Sir
Henry Stafford, the second husband of the Coun-
tess, (see Tudor, fvarl of Richmond, Bvrke's Et-
tinct Peerage), who by his will bequeathed to him
(Reginald) his grissel courser. Brav continued
after the death of Sir Henry, in the service of the
noble widow, and on her subsequent marriage
with Lord Stanley, was put in trust for her dower
of five hundred marks per annum.

the first stone of Henry t/ie Se-
venth's Chapel, at Westminster, on
the 24th January, 1502-3, and died
on the 5tli August, in the same year.
By his will he directed that his body

§ The manor of Shere, Vacherv, and Cranlev,
in Surrey, had long been in possession of the
euils of Ormonde, but reverting to the Crown on
the attainder of James the fiftli earl, who was
likewise Earl of Wiltshire, in 1461, Edward IV.
granted this manor to John Touchet, Lord Aud-
ley, who died 26th November, 1491, and was
buried in the chancel of the church at Shere.
Notwithstanding the attainder of the Farl of Or-
monde and Wilts, and the grant of the manor to
Lord Audley, the earl's brother attempted at least
to recover the estate ; for by his deed dated 28th
January, in the 1st of Henry VIL he granted to
Sir Reginald Bray, kut. the manor of Shere, and
the mauor and lordship of Vachery, in Cranlev,
reserving the libei'ty of hunting, and taking beasts
of chase in the park of Vachery, at his pleasure ;
also liberty of lodging in the manor-house of
Shere, for himself, servants, and horses, whenever
he pleased. To hold to Sir Reginald and Ids as-
signs for life, he finding a chaplain, and a chanti-y
priest yearly to celebrate divine service in the
chapel of the manor of Vacherv, and not cutting
any great timber except for building repairs. Sir
Reginald does not however appear at any time to
have had the actual possession of the manor, as
we find Lord Audley erjoving it after the at-
tainder of Ormonde, and his son James, Lord
Audley inheriting those lands with his title. This
James was the Lord Audley so notorious as the
leader of the Cornish rebels, defeated bv King
Henry at Blackheath, and subsequently beheaded
and attainted. We further lind his son, by his

Richard) in a bush in Bosworth field." Of this
device there was, in the last century-, when
Brvdges wrote (he died in 1724), a represen-
tation in the hall window of Stenf, one of the
manors, part of the forfeited estates of the Lord
Lovel, granted to Sir Reginald Bray.

The younger son,

John Bray, esq. who was hurled in the

chancel of the church at Chelsea, vi. ,

and had, with a daughter, the wife of Sir
John N orris, three sons,

I. Edmund (Sir), who inherited a large
portion of his uncle Sir Reginald
Bray's property, which was con-
firmed under a deed of settlement,
made between himself and Sir Wil-
liam Sandys and his wife Dame Mar-
gery Sandys, in adjustment of a dis-
pute between the parties regarding
the lands of the deceased. This Ed-
mund was about the age of eighteen
at the death of Sir Reginald, who
had acted as his guardian and took
care of his education. He m. Jane,f
daughter and heir of Richard Haly-
well, esq, and had John, his heir,
with several daughters. In the 6th
of Henry VIII. (1515) he was she-
riff of the county of Bedford, and
was summoned to parliament as Ba-
KON Bray, of Eaton-Bray, in that
county, on the 3rd November, 21st
of the same monarch. (See Burke's
Extinct and Dormant Peerage.)

II. Edward (Sir), of whom presently.

* That the chapel of St. George, at Windsor,
owes much to the skill as well as to the liberality
and magnificence of Sir Reginald there can be
little doubt. His arms, sometimes singly, some-
times impaling those of Hussey (the family of his
wife), his device of a flax or hemp breaker, the
initials of his name, and those of his wife, in so
many parts of the ceiling and windows, could
not have been so placed without a more than ordi-
nary claim to the distinction. His will that his
executors should finish the chapel, according to
the form and intention of the foundation, would
seem to refer to a planned drawing in his posses-
sion, and shows that the work had been carried
on at his own expense.

t Sir Reginald Bray purchased the wardship
of this young lady, that she might become the
wife of his nephew, as appears by deed dated
12th February, 1497, made between the said Sir
Reginald and Sir John Norbury, her grandfather,
in contemplation of "a marriage to be had be-
tween Edmund Bray, son of .lohn Brav, brother
of the same Sir Reginald, and Jane Halywell,
daughter and heir presumptive of Richard Haly-
well, esq. cousin and heir apparent of Sir John
Norbury, (that is to say), daughter of Anne, who
was the daughter of the said Sir John Norbury."
In consideraticii 'of three hundred marks paid by
Sir Reginald, Sir John settled immense estates
)ipon his said heir, in the counties of Warwick,
Worcester, Surrey, and Hants.

Sir Edward Bkay, knt. of Vachery
Park, in Cranley, Surrey, was sheriff of
Surrey and Sussex in the 30th of Henry
VIII. and represented the former county in
the two parliaments of Queen Mary. Sir
Edward, who appears to have been bred a
soldier, was one of the knights appointed to
accompany Kinci Henry to Calais to meet
the French monarch ; and he is stated to
have been Master of the Ordnance in the
time of Queen Mary, and to have marched
at the head of some troops to Charing-cross
to attack Wyatt in the insurrection which
he had fomented against her majesty. He

Sir Edward survived his second wife, and
married, thirdly, Jane, daughter of Sir
Matthew Browne, of Betchworth Castle, in
the parish of Dorking, but had no more
issue. He died in 1558, and by his will,
dated in that year, directed that his body
should be buried in the parish church of
Cranley, and that all the poor folks for
whom he had made houses should carry
his body to the church, and have for their
reward twelvepence each. The will then
proceeds, after some minor legacies, to af-
firm the settlement of divers manors and
lands for his wife's jointure, and to state
that " she should quietly enjoy the same
without interruption of his son Edward."
It further provides, in case the said Ed-
ward, or his heirs, should attempt to dis-
turb the quiet possession of his step-mo-
ther, that that lady should have all the tes-
tator's fee-simple lands, tenements, rents,
reversions, and hereditaments whatsoever.
Lady Bray survived for several years, and
resided at the mansion-house at Vachery,
where she carried on the iron forge which
had been established there, and soon took
occasion to quarrel with Sir Edward, her
step-son. Amongst other things, she wrote
to William More, of Loseley, that he. Sir
Edward, had summoned her workmen there
to her great damage, and she desired Mr.
More's favour. Atanother period she com-
plained that he had broken down the head
of her pond, and at other times had been
guilty of such like disturbances ; under co-
ver of which she availed herself of the
power so improperly given by her hus-
band's will, and sold great part of the estate
in Cranley and Ewhurst for little more than
nominal considerations, as appears by seve-
ral deeds, in many of which were convey-
ances to her own relatives and dependents.
What remained of Sir Edward Bray's great
estates at the decease of his widow, devolved
on his son.

ston in the I3th Elizaeeth, who m. first,

grant of lands contiguous to Waringstown,
on which he built a good house and resided.
He considerably enlarged the family es-

bances in 1688, which obliged him to leave
his home and join the Protestants, then

of tlie East India Companv, and soon attracted
bv his g;reat talents the notice of his superior
officers. After serving at Tanjore, Pondicherry,
&C. he Lad the honour to act in staff situations at
the two memorable sieges of Seringapiitaiu, in the
INIvsore, the first under Marquis Cornwallis, and
tlie second under General Lord Harris, when
l)v the capture of that city, and the fall of Tippoo
Saib, a very considerable addition was made to
the territorial possessions of the Company, and
the interests of the British nation in India.

On this occasion his merits were acknowledged
in a letter, dated Serinoapatain, i;>th May, 1799,
from General Lord Harris to the Governor-gene-
ral, published by his direction in general orders,

Rev. Dr. St. John Blacker.

the following- is an extract: — "In every point
of view I must call your Lordsliii)'s particular
attention to the adjutant-general of the army.
His general character as an officer is too vt^ell
established by a long and distinguished course
of the most meritorious service to require my
testimony. But the particular exertions of his
talents on the present service, in directing, regu-
lating, and assisting the progress of our depart-
ments, vrhen embarrassed by all the difficulties at-
tending a deficiency of conveyance for an uncom-
monly extensive equipment, during the advance of
the army, and the abdity and zeal displayed by
him in superintending the various operations of
an arduous siege, where he was ever present, sti-
mulating the exertions of others, or assisting their
judgment and labour by his own, claim from me
to be stated to your Lordship in the most forcible
terms. It is my earnest wish that my sentiments
on this subject may be publicly recorded, and it is
my firm opinion that if the success of this ar«iy
lias been of importance to the British interests,
that success is to be attributed in a very consider-
able degree to Lieutenant-colonel Close."

Soon after this he received from the honourable
committee of the board of directors a present of a
sword ■ set with diamonds, value three hundred
pounds sterling, as a mark of their approbation of
his conduct, and was appointed a commissioner
with others to view and report upon the state of
the district then ceded to the Company. He
was subsequently selected by Marquis Welles-
ley, the then governor-general, to fill the im-
portant station of resident at Poona, the court
of the Peshwa, the chief of the Mahratta princes,
who all seemed at that time not very favourably
disposed to the interests of the comp'any. In this
arduous and difficult situation, which required all
his address and management, he had the good
fortune, under the guidance of the marquis and
his own sound judgment, to succeed in concili-
ating the peshwa and his ministers, and of pre-
serving that government iij friendship with the
Company, during the war with Scindia, Holcar,
and other Eastern princes ; of which ample
testimony has been given by the marquis in his
letter to the honourable committee of the direc-
tors, dated 20th June, 1803, laid, with other
papers, before the House of Commons pend-
ing the parliamentary inquiry into the conduct
of the JNIahratta war. He says, " It would be in-
justice to Lieutenant-colonel Close to suffer this
dispatch to depart without adding my earnest re-
quest that your honourable committee may be
pleased to direct your particular attention to the
zeal, ability and industry which liave distinguish-
ed the eminent services of that valuable public
officer during the late important crisis in the iMa-
rliatta empire. In adverting to the conduct of

your honourable conmiittce will remark with satii::-
faction tlie unabated continuance of tliose able,

tlement of the Mysore, and which have since
contributed to establish through the rajah's go-
vernment a system of internal administration cal-
culated to augment and secure the happiness and
prosperity of that fiourishing countr)-.''

After Marquess VVellesley returned to Europe,
Colonel Close remained at Poona, until sum-
moned by the government of Madras to afford his
assistance in reconciling some unhappy disputes
and jealousies which had taken place among the
military on the IMadras establishment, and which
threatened serious consequences. In this difficult
situation of affairs, (says the writer of an account
of that transaction, published in London in 1810)
" the government thought proper to call into ac-
tion the service of Colonel Close, an officer of the
greatest talents, and possessing a mind distin-
guished by vigour and enterprise, and whose
whole life had been devoted to the service of his
country." " They knew him (said another
writer in the Quarterly Review) to be of a skill
equally approved and a courage equally clear in
action and in council. They knew that bv a na-
tive elevation of mind and intellect he had risen
above the prejudices natural to the members of a
numerous provincial army. They knew that a
long residence amidst the effeminacy of Eastern
courts, and the chicanery of Eastern cabinets,
while it had inured him to a perfect acquaintance
with their native character, had yet left unim-
paired the purity of his patriotic ardour and the
correctness of his military principles. They
knew that his high qualifications and eminent ser-
vices, political and warlike, had rendered his
name not more respectable in the eyes of his
countrymen than venerable to the native soldiery.
And they were not disappointed in the use he
made of such influence, which was proved by his
exertions to restore peace and harmony among
his brother officers and the troops they command-
ed, which however requii'ed all his prudence and
courage when attended with no inconsiderable
share of personal danger, and in the end were not
without effect, as appeared by the account of that
affair, published in London (as before men-
tioned)."

He was soon afterwards sent with the subsidiary
force of 12,000 men to repress the depredations of
Meer Khan, an Indian chief, who had made incur-
sions into the territories of the Company ; and hav-
ing succeeded in that affair, he resumed his station
at Poona. But having now resided in India nearly
thirty-five years, and his health requiring a change
of climate, he applied for permission to return to

PLOWDKN, OF PLOW DEN.

Hmcage.

The family of Plowden has been seated
at Plowden, in Salop, from a period ante-
ceding the earliest records extant in the
vicinity.

Roger Plowden, of Plowden, who was
a crusader under Cceur de Lion, is
stated to have been present at the siege
of Acre in 1194, and to have received for
his gallant services there the augmentation
of the fieurs de lys borne ever since by his
descendants. He was father of

Philip Plowden, of Plowden, whose son,

John Plowden, of Plowden, was father
of another

John Plowden, of Plowden, who was s.
by his son,

John Plowden, of Plowden, who m.
Joan, daughter of John Salter, by Anne
his wife, daughter of Sir Adam de Mont-
gomery, knt. and was father of

John Plowden, of Plowden, who left by
his wi'e Maud, one of the daughters of Sir
John Barley, knt. a son and heir,

Edmund Plowden, of Plowden. This
gentleman m. Jane, daughter of Edmund
Cloebury, esq. and was s. by his son,

John Plowden, of Plowden, Avho wedded
Margaret, daughter of John Blayney, esq.
and had a son and successor,

Humphrey Plowden, esq. of Plowden,
who m. Elizabeth, daughter of John Sturry,
esq. of Rossall, near Shrewsbury, and relict
of William Wollascott, esq. and had issue,

Edmund, his heir.

Edward, m. Mary, daughter of Thomas

Lee, esq. of Langley, in Salop, and

had a son, Humphrey.

Mary, m. to Thomas Lee, esq, of Lang-
ley.

Anchoret, m. to Rowland Eyton, esq.
of Eyton, in Salop.

Margaret, m. to Richard Sandford, esq.

of the Isle, Salop. (See vol. ii. p.

671.)
Jane, m. to Richard IJlunden, esq. of

JJurgldield, licrks.
He d. 'ilst March, 1567, and was s. by his
elder son,

Edmund Plowden, esq. of Plowden,
sergeant-at-law, one of the most eminent
lawyers of his day, whom Wood, in tlie
At/ieno', says, " was accounted the oracle
of the law," and that " his commentaries or
reports of divers law cases in the reigns of
Edward VL, Queen Mary, and Queen Eli-
zabeth, were highly esteemed." To the
early and active patronage however (added
to his own abilities and learning) of Sir
Francis Englefield, he was indebted cliiefly
for his advancement in life. Of that states-
man's Sliropshire estates he was entrusted
with the administration, and there is a cu-
rious detail connected witli a promise he
had obtained, from Sir Francis's nephew
and heir, of a lease of the Isle of Up Rossal,
one of those whereon he had placed his
brother-in-law, Richard Sandford, to his
nephew, Humphrey Sandford, and wliich
Englefield most ungratefully violated. This,
considering the great services he had ren-
dered the family, was no very extraordi-
nary favour; for independently of adhering
to Sir Francis when, on the demise of Mary,
he sought voluntary exile on account of his
religion, Plowden, who had acquired the
wardship of the young Englefield, instead
of disposing of his ward either by marrying
hira to one of his own daughters, or selling
the trust, as he was fully empowered to do,
and as others did every day under the feu-
dal system, made a free gift of his autho-
rity to the ward himself. As the parti-
culars of this transaction tend to illustrate
the state of society and manners at the
period, the following extracts from a manu-
script written by Mr. Andrew Plowden, of
Burghfield, Berks, nephew of Sergeant
Plowden, may not prove uninteresting : —
" Mr. John Englefield (brother to Sir Fran-
cis) died, [April 1, 1567] Francis Engle-
field, his son and heir, being a child of the
age of about v or vi yeares, and fell in
ward, by reason of a tenure in capite, to
the Queene. Mr. Plowden then being at
London, having intelligence thereof in a
morninge very early, upon the newes, pre-
sently rose out of bed, and went to the court,
he then being of counsell with William, the
Earle of Pembroke, one of her Majesties
privie counsell : which earle had often times
before praide Mr. Plowden to espie out
some suit to the Queene worth five hundred
pounds, and promised he would obtain it,

252

PLOWDEN, OF PLOWDEN.

sainge lie was indepted to Mr. Plowden in
soe much. He came to the earle, told him
of the death of Mr. John Englefield, and
of the wardship of his sonne ; put him in
mind of his promise ; praid the earle to
get the wardship for liim, in lieu and re-
compence of his lordship's promise, and
Mr. Plowden's service to his lordship. The
earle being, although unlearned, an excel-
lent wise man, and knowinge the good will
Mr. Plowden bore to the house of Engle-
field, answered, ' True Mr. Plowden ray
promise is so, but I meant it for your owne
good, and not for the good and comodity of
any other. If I obtain this suit for you,
you will not benefitt yourselfe thereby ; but
you will bestow it upon the widowe, or at
Sir Francis's direction ; and therefore I
pray yo^u, (said he) seeke out some other
thinge : this will not be for your profitt,
and I am therefore loath to deale therein.'
' Sir,' said Mr. Plowden, '■ I beseech you
leave that to my discression ; I will accept
it at your handes insted of any good turne,
and as a gift to me by your honour of five
hundred pounds. The earle seeinge Mr.
Plowden thus earnest, beinge a bedd, rose,
went to hir Majestic, and afterward to the
Master of the Wardes, and fully obtained
it for Mr. Plowden, and caused the same
to be entred accordingly. Within halfe an
hower after, and before Mr. Plowden de-
parted the court, the Lord Hunsden came
to have optained it ; but it was in vaine, for
it was gone before, as aforesaid."

Mr. Plowden's gift of the wardship to
Mr. Englefield, and his request in behalf of
his nephew, are thus related by Mr. Blun-
den : " Aboute the pointe of young Engle-
field's ayge of xxi yeres, Mrs. Englefield,
Mr. Francis Fytten [her brother], and
young Englefield, were att Shiplake. After
dynner Mr. Plowden went into his newe
parlor, called thera unto him ; called also
Mr. Perkyns, who then before had married
his eldest daughter, ould Mr. Wollascott,
younge Edmund Plowden, my cozen Humf-
frey Sandford, and myselfe, and I know
not whether any others. There beinge,
torned his talke to yonge Mr. Englefield,
and sayd thus in eflecte : ' Mr. Englefield
you are my warde, and now come to your
full adge ; what saye you and your friendes
to me l^or it? I did gett your wardshippe
of my selfe, without the helpe of any of
your friendes. My old Lord Pembroke
did it att my request' . . . and told in
substance that which I have before re-
hearsed . . . and added furthere * that
lie was not in any case soe beholding or
bound to Sir Francis, or any of his friendes,
that should move him to bestowe soe greate
a benifitt uppoii any of them ; for,' sayd
he, ' Mr. Englefield, your expectation is
greate, and accordinge to that I may now

have for your wardship and marriage, and
my ould Lord Montague hath ofl'ered for
you two thousand pounds: and as for Sir
Francis Englefield, he is farre more bounde
and beholdinge to me than I to him : and
there is noe privye or secrett matter but I
may make my best of you.' " The Engle-
fields acknowledge bis goodness, and Mr.
Plowden gives the heir his marriage ; " and
take it (says he) for a guift of two thousand
pounds, and in recompence of it I crave noe
benifitt for myselfe or my owne children.
But here I have in my house my cozen*
Humfl"rey Sandford, my sister's sonne, and
his wife, and some of theire children. He
hath served your uncle. Sir Francis, in the
partes beyond the seas many yeres att my
charge ; for I gave him every yere xxlie
markes standing to serve Sir Francis, be-
sydes many other wantes I supplied to him ;
and his fathere alsoe gave him some what ;
all of which he spent in your uncle's ser-
vice. ... In consyderacon of this ser-
vice done to your uncle, and for this my
liberality towards you, I only praye you,
when such things as be in his fatheres
hands shall come to your disposition, that
you will make a lease thereof to him, his
wife, and sonne, for theire three lives, att
the old rente ; and this I do not accompte
past two hundred pounds." The promise
was of course made, but after Mr. Plow-
den's death forgotten, and Mr. Englefield
not only refused to fulfil his engagement to
the son, but even proceeded to dispossess
the father. The whole of this curious affair
is too long for transcription, but the fatal
effect upon the elder Mr. Sandford is re-
lated with much feeling by Mr. Blunden :
" When all would not serve, he presently
fell sicke, called his wife and family to him,
and thus complayned ; ' Howe I bestowed
my Sonne's service to my intollerable
charges soe many yeres uppon his uncle
beyond the seas? Have I adventured my
sonne and heyre upon him soe longe, al-
wayes in hazzard of the Queene's displea-
sure, and reddy ahvayes to be attainted,
my blond and house to be corrupted for
doing his uncle service? And is this the
reward I have ? Wife ! carry me to Plow-
den. He hath killed me, he hath killed
me ! Lett me not dye on his grounde. I
will not dye on his grounde.' And with all
speede caused" himselfe to be carried to
Plowden, where, with these continuall
wordes in his mouth, ' he hath killed me,
he hath killed me ! ' he languished about a
moneth, and then, of very sorrowe and con-
ceyte, died." f

* It was formerly usual to call nephews and
nieces by the name of cousin : and this is not yet
quite worn out among old people in the country.

had (with several other sons, who all died
issueless) William, his heir, and Dorothy,
married, first, to Philip Draycot, esq. and,
secondly, to Sir William Goring. He died
27th November, 1677, and was s. by his
son,

William Plowden, esq. of Plowden and
Aston, b. in 1666. This gentleman, who
held the rank of colonel in the life-guards
of King James II., adhered to the fortunes
of that prince both in Ireland and France ;
but after a short residence at the court of
St. Germains, obtained, through the inte-
rest of his wife's uncle the Duke of
Shrewsbury, and the Countess of Snnder-
land, permission to return to England, and
to take possession of the family estates, his
tliree elder brothers having died issueless.
From his presumed attachment to the coun-
tess originated the song of Plowden, of
Plowden Hall, by the comic poet Wycher-
ley. He rebuilt the manor house at Aston,
and lived there a few years, but being a
Catholic, he became obnoxious to the vio-
lent Whigs of the neighbourhood ; and not
having taken the oath of allegiance to Kitig
William, his six coach horses, by virtue of
an act recently passed against non-jurors,
were seized on entering Banbury and im-
pounded by a magistrate, being worth above
five pounds each. He immediately quitted
Aston in disgust, and it has since been
deserted by the family. Colonel Plow-
den married thrice : of the first marriage,
with Mary, daughter of — Morley, esq.
there was no issue ; of the second, with
Mary, daughter of John Stonor, esq. of
Stonor, there was one son and two daugh-

Mr. Canning succeeded to Foxcote upon the demise of
his brother in 1831. He is a magistrate and deputy
lieutenant for the county of Gloucester, and served the
office of high sheriff for that shire in 1832.

The lands of Foxcote have been in the
family of Canning now more than four
centuries : they came with an heir-female
in the time of Henry VI. and have de-
scended since uninterruptedly through heirs-
male.*

of Jeifrey Le Marshall, wlio married Mary,
daughter and heir of John Bridport, of
Bridport, in the county of Dorset, and had

Salmon, son and heir of Thomas Salmon, of
Chedle, and left two daughters, co-heirs, viz.
Agnes Salmon, who became the wife of
Thomas Canninge, esq. and Matilda Sal-
mon, married to Edmund Dalby, esq.

In the partition of tlie property of Salmon,
Foxcote became the sole inheritance of
Agues. Thomas Canninge, her husband,
was the son of John, the son of another
John Canninge, brother to Jeifrey Canynge,
the father of Sir Thomas Caninge, lord
mayor of London in 1456, and of William
Canynge, whom Henky VL in a letter to
the magistrate of Dantzic, calls " his be-
loved and eminent merchant of Bristol,"

city, (s(M' it\ mer's Fu^dera, p. 226.)

second son of the late — Smith, esq. of Gvvernllwy-
nvveth, in Glamorganshire.

IV. Helen.

Mr. Rees, who succeeded his father 14th December, 1802, is a magistrate and
deputy-lieutenant for the county of Carmarthen, and was formerly lieutenant-colonel
of the local militia. He served nearly six years in the navy as midshipman, and was
discharged at the peace of Amiens, when he manied, and did not re-enter the service.
He was present at the capture of the Dutch fleet in the Helder, and participated
in the battles of Camperdown and Copenhagen, serving, during the latter engage-
ment, in the Ardent, the second ship that led into action.

• Elias VanderHorst was maternally descended from a noble French family, named " Toisson,"
which fled, on the revocation of the edict of Nantes, from their native land to South Carolina, as an
asylui-i, leaving very considerable j)roperty, with a chateau in the country, and tlie mansion in Paris,
now well known as Me,urices Hotel, in the Rue St. Honore, to their Catholic relatives, who enjoyed
it until the French revolution, when all pro])erty underwent a change. The last direct descendant,
Madame de Sangeant, when at a very advanced age, sought in vain (unfortunately for the family) for
tliat Protestant branch which had emigrated to North America, and of which Elias VanderHorst was
then the representative. He did not, however, hear of the enquiry, until too late to profit by it,
tliough a more distant relative, the late Lord Lyttleton, did to a very considerable amount. Pater-
nally, Elias VanderHorst was the immediate lineal descendant of liaron VanderHorst, of Holland,
(wliose portrait by Sir Peter Lely is now in the possession of Elias's daughter, Miss VanderHorst, of
Hoyal York Crescent, Clifton). Tlie Vauderllorsts accomi)anied the Prince of Orange when he was
called to the English throne, and the tlien chief of the family received from the hand of tliat monarch
a medal in commemoration of the event, together with an autograph letter from his majesty. Subse-
quently they emigrated to America, and acquired considerable projierty there. Elias VanderHorst was
born in that part of the world, and commanded a company in the 15ritish army at tlie age of nineteen ;
hut, coming to England for change of cliniiite, the war with America broke out, wliich cut oft', for tlie
time, the resources from liis transatlantic property. He was ottered a pension as a refugee, by
his connexion George Lord Lyttleton, then one of the treasury lords, but declined it, preferring
to. embark the capital he had brought with bim in trade (by entering into partnership with some mer-
chants at 15ristol), for the maintenance of his family whilst his pecuniary resources were locked up by
the war, to becoming a burden on his country. His only son, Tliomas Cooper VanderHorst, has suc-
ceeded ill recovering most of the property thus left. In America, the adopted country of the Aander-
Horsts, one nephew of Elias A'anderHorst, filled the office of Governor of South Carolina, another that
of Secretary of State, and a third that of General.

REES, OF KILLYMAENLLWYD.

Uincac^e.

This family, long resident in the county
of Carmarthen, claims descent from a com-
mon ancestor with the noble house of Dyne-
vor. Urien Reged, so styled from his hav-
ing large possessions in the district of
Reged, South Wales, which comprised a
portion of the present counties of Carmar-
then, Glamorgan, and Pembroke, was an-
cestor of Sir Eudir Ddu (or Sir Elidir the
Black, from the darkness of his complexion)
a crusader, who received the honour of
knighthood, as a Knight of the Sepulchre,
at the shrine of our Saviour, in the Holy
City. The seventh son of Sir Elidir,
Ph I LI r , had himself many children, of whom
Nicholas, the eldest son, was grand-
father of Thomas, whose son, Sir
Rhys ap Thomas, was created a
knight of the garter by Henry VH.
and obtained from that monarch
other proofs of the king's recollec-
tion of his efforts to place him on
the throne. Sir Griffith Rhys, eldest
son of Sir Rhys ap Thomas, was the
lineal ancestor of George, present
Lord Dynevor.
GwiLYM, founded the Killymaenllwyd
family.
The second son,

GvviLYM AP Philip, was of LlandiloVawr,
in the county of Carmarthen, and his son,
Rys, was father of Meredith, who seated
himself at Cilymaenllvvyd, which appears
to have remained with his descendants for
several generations, but was for a short
time alienated, though subsequently re-
gained by marriage. Mercdyth was direct
ancestor of *

Evan Lloyd ap RYDDERCH,who married
Gwenllian, daughter of John ap Harry,
living in 1595, and had four sons, viz.

John, of Tre Castell, in Llandilo Vawr.

maenlwyd in 1.595. He did not marry until
after that year. His son and successor,

Philip ap William, of Cilymaenllwyd,
temp. Charles I. was father of

John ap Philip, of Cilymaenllwyd, who
is supposed, from strong presumptive evi-
dence, to have been brother or father off

Rhys, who lived on his own estate at
Kilverry, in the parish of Llanelly, Carmar-
thenshire. He married, and had one son,

John Rees, who also resided at Kil-
verry. This gentleman appears to have
been the first of the family who spelt the
name as it is now written. His eldest J son
and successor,

Hector Rees, esq. born in 1683, a ma-
gistrate for the county of Carmarthen,
served the office of sheriff for that shire in
1745, the year of Prince Charles's insurrec-
tion, and was offered knighthood for his con-
duct during that eventful period, butdeclined
the honour. He m. in 1719, Jane, daughter
of Evan Price, esq. of Penyfan, grandson of
Price of Penllergare, and had issue,

I. John, his heir.

II. Edward, who d. num. lea-sing the

I. Jane, m. to John Johnes, esq. of Do-
lecothy, in Carmarthenshire.

II. Margaret, m. to Evan Griffiths, esq.

Hector Rees was s. by his eldest son,

John Rees, esq. born in 1724, a magis-
trate for Carmarthenshire, who m. Mary,
only child and heiress of Daniel Hughes,
esq. of Penymaes, and had issue,

Mr. Rees d. in 1760, and was s. by his son,

1749, a magistrate and high-sheriff for Car-
marthenshire, who m. in 1775, Amy, second
daughter of Sir William Mansel, bart. of
Iscoed, and had issue.

t Another account says that Hector Rees was
sixth in descent from Rliys ap Owen, of Llech-
dwnny, in the parish of Llangendeirne, Carmar-
thenshire, from whom also descended Morris
Bowen, of Llechdwnny, high sheriff in 161.5. It
appears by this statement that one branch took
the name of Bowen, from Ap Owen, and the
otiier, retaining tlie Welsh custom for some years,
ultimately continued that of Rees or Rhys.

X His younger son, Robert Rees, married the
daughter of Robert Donno, of Tv Owvii, in the
parish of Pembiev, Carmarthenshire.

II. KoRKitT, h. 8tli Fibruary, 1.076, the
celebrated author of the Analonii/ of
IMelancholy. This learned and emi-
nent person was educated at Oxford,
and tlicre took the degree of bachelor
in divinity. He embraced subse-
quently the ecclesiastical profession,
and became rector of l.,egram, in
Leicestershire. His literary acquire-
ments, which were various and dif-
fuse, are fully displayed in the re-
markable work which lie wrote, en-
titled " The Anatomy of Melancholy,
by Democritus, junior." This trea-
tise, which was i)ublished in 1621,
has been repeatedly reprinted. Bur-
ton died in January, 1639-10, at Ox-
ford, and was buried at Christchurcli.
The personal character of Robert
Burton was very peculiar. He was
a man of integrity and benevolence,
but subject to strange fits of hypo-
chondriac melancholy, which ren-
dered his conduct flighty and incon-
sistent. Sometimes he was an agree-
able and lively companion, delight-
ing those around him with perpetual
sallies of wit and humour ; while at
other times he would be devoured
with spleen and ennui, from which
he souglit relief and diversion by the
composition of his Anatomy of Me-
lancholy. Whatever eflect, how-
ever, the work may have had on its
author, it seems to have been most
beneficial to others, for we are in-
formed by Anthony Wood that the
bookseller who first published it ac-
quired an estate by the speculation.
As to its literaVy merits. Archbishop
Hernng describes " Burton upon
Melancholy" as an author the plea-
santest, the most learned, and most
full of sterling sense. He adds,
that " tlie wits of Queen Anne's
reign, and the beginning of George
I. were not a little beholden to him."
In recent times Lord Byron contri-
butes his high opinion to Burton's
reputation.

or modern, whether regarded as a patriot,
rousing the dormant energies of his coun-
try—a statesman, concentrating those ener-
gies for action — or a soldier, directing them
to victory. " When the nobility," says
Buchanan, " had neither strength or cou-
rage to undertake great matters, there pre-
sently started up one William Wallace, a
man of an ancient and noble race, but having
himself little or no estate, yet this man per-
formed in this war not only beyond expec-
tation, but almost beyond belief." Wallace
hurled defiance at the royal agressor, braved
the tyrant's power, baffled it, and would
have saved his country, but for the trea-
chery of a base, rude, and jealous aristo-
cracy ; he did not however fight and fall in
vain —

This is corroborated by his other historians ; all

great bodily strength. Ili'Uiiishcd say.s, he was
" a young gentleman of so large a stature, and
notable strength of bodie, with such skill and
knowledge in warlike enterprises, and of snrli
hardiness in attemjiting all manner of exploits,
tJiat his match was not anywhere lightlie to be

son, (Ayrshire Fanulies) " in confirmation of the
uncommon strength ascribed to Wallace, related
by Hector Boeis, which, in another respect, is
curious, as it affords an example of longevity,
not unsimilar to that of the Irish Countess of

He is said also to liave had two daugljlers :
tlie elder married to the father of Thomas
Halliday, a celebrated patriot, who had
considerable projx'rty in Annandale ; the
younger, to the father of Edward Little,
another of the band of patriots. Sir Mai-

ploits, found his curiosity excited to visit a noble
lady, of great age, who was able to infonn him
of many ancient matters. She lived in the castle
of Kinnoul, on tlie opposite side of the river, and
was probably a widow of one of the l.ords of
Erskine, a branch of whose family continued to
be denominated from the barony of Kimnoul, till
about the year 1440. It was Boeis way to relate
an event as circumstantially as if he had been
one of the parties present, and engaged in it. I
shall therefore give the anecdote in his own
manner, by translating his own words : —

" In consequence of her extreme old age, she
had lost her sight ; but all her other senses were
entire, and her body was yet firm, and lively.
She had seen William \Vallace and Robert
Bruce, and frequently told particulars concerning
them. The king, who entertained a love and
veneration for greatness, resolved to visit the old
lady, that he might hear her describe the manners
and strength of the two heroes, who were ad-
mired in his time, as they now are in ours. He
therefore sent a message, acquainting her that he
was to come to her next day.

" She received the message gratefully, and
gave immediate orders to her handmaids to pre-
pare every thing for his reception, in the best
manner ; particularly that they should display her
pieces of tapestrv, some of which were uncom-
monly rich and beautiful.

" All her servants became busily employed,
for their work was in some degree unusual, as
she had not of a long time been accustomed to
receive princely visitors.

" The next day, when told the king was ap-
proaching, she went down into the hall of her
castle, dressed with as much elegance and tineiy,
as her old age and the fashion of the time would
permit, attended by a train of matrons, many of
whom were her own descendants, of which num-
ber some appeared much more altered and dis-
figured by age than she herself was.

" One of her matrons having informed her that

colm wedded, secondly, MAitd aim;t ('kaI'-
I I'liii, danj;hter ol lln<;h Crauluril, of Lou-
doun, and l)\ that lady became father of Sii:
Wiiiiwi \\ At.l,A( !•; in the year l_'7fi. "It
is also said (we (piote from KouiiRTSon's
Ajiisliire Juiinilics) that lie had a son by
this lady elder than Sir William, called
Andrew, thv inheritor of I'^llerslie, who died
without issue. The grounds of this conjec-
ture, iiowever, do not seem so strong as to
entitle it to implicit b(dief." The represen-
tation of the family devolved, on the death
of Sir Malcolm and his son Malcolm, n|ion
Sir William Wallack, who is designed
of Ellerslie, although there is some donht
that he was ever proprietor of the estate.
One of the earliest exploits of Wallace was
to avenge the death of his fnther and brother.
C(dlecting a body of fifty resolute men, in
the.luly of 129f), hemet l<"enwick,at Loudoun
Hill, the spot where Sir Malcolm W allace

ting a hundred horsemen to the sword, com-
pelled the rest, amounting to fourscore, to

the king was entering the hall, she arose from
her seat and advanced to meet him, so easily and
gracefully, that he doubted of her being whoUv
blind. At his desire she embraced and kissed
him.

" Her attendant assured him that she was
wholly blind, but that, from long custom, she had
acquired these easy movements.

" He took her by the hand, and sat down,
desiring her to sit on the seat next to him ; and
then, in long conference, he interrogated her
about ancient matters.

" He was much delighted with her conversa-
tion. Among other things, he asked her to tell
him what sort of a man William Wallace was ;
what his personal figure ; what his courage ;
and with what degree of strength he was en-
dowed. He put the same questions to her con-
cerning Robert Bruce.

" ' Robert,' said she, ' was a man beautiful,
and of a fine appearance. His strength was so
great, that he could easily have overcome anv
mortal man of his time ; but in so far as he
excelled other men, he was excelled by Wallace,
both in stature and bodily strength ; for in wrest-
ling, \V allace could have overcome two such men
as Robert was.'

" The king made some inquiries concerning
his own immediate parents, and his other an-
cestors ; and, having heard her relate many
things, returned to Perth, well pleased with the
visit he had made. This lady could not have
been less than loO years old. Tlie Countess of
Desmond alluded to was 140 at her death."

Sir Walter Scott, in his History of Scotland,
after describing the natural construction of tlie
Scottish nobdity, and accounting thus for their
base submission to a foreign conqueror, proceeds
— " If the Scoto-nobles had lightly transferred
their allegiance to Kdward, jt was otherwise with

fly, leaving a considerable l)oo(y in tl>e
hands of the victor. The subsequent glo-
rious career of the patriot has been so fre-
quently recorded by historian, bard, and
minstrel, that it were vain to enlarge upon
it here. Of the fatal battle that terminated
it. Lord Hailes gives the following account.
" He (King Edward) established his head
quarters at Temple Liston, between Edin-
burgh and Linlithgow ... at that moment
intelligence arrived, that the Scots were
at Falkirk. Edward instantly marched
against them. His army lay that night in
the fields. At break of day the Scottish
army was descried forming on a stony plain,
at the side of a small eminence in the neigh-
bourliood of Falkirk. Wallace ranged his
infantry in four bodies of a circular form.
The archers, commanded by Sir John
Stewart, were placed in the intervals. The
horse, amounting to no more than one thou-
sand, were at some distance in the rear ; on
tlie front of the Scots lay a morass. Having
drawn up his troops in this order, AVallace

pleasantly said, ' Now I have brought you
to the riny, dance according to your skill.'
Edward placed his chief confidence in the
numerous and formidable body of horsemen,
whom he had selected for the Scottish expe-
dition. He ranged them in three lines.
(No mention is made of the disposition of
the infantry.) The shock of the English
cavalry on each side was violent, and gal-
lantly withstood by the Scottish infantry.
But the Scottish cavalry, dismayed at the
number and force of the English men at
arms, immediately quitted the field. Stew-
ard, while giving orders to liis archers, was
thrown from his horse and slain. His
archers crowded round his body and pe-
rished with him. Often did the English
strive to force the Scottish circle : ' they
could not penetrate into that wood of spears,"
as one of their historians speaks. By re-
peated charges the outermost ranks were
brought to the ground. The English in-
fantry incessantly galled the Scots with
showers of stones and arrows. Macdufl"

insurrections, unconnected indeed, but sufficiently
numerous to indicate ^ disposition for hostilities,
which wanted but a leader to render it general.
They found one in Sir William Wallace. This
champion of his country was of Anglo-Norman
descent, but not so distinguished by birth and
fortune as to enjoy high rank, great wealth, or
participate in that chilling indifference to the
public honour and interest which these advan-
tages were apt to create in their possessor. He
was born in Renfrewshire, a district of the an-
cient kingdom of Strath-Clyde, and his nurse
may have soothed him with tales and songs of the
Welch bards, as there is room to suppose that the
British language was still lingering in remote
corners of the country, where it had been once
universal. At any rate, Wallace was bred up
free from the egotistic and selfish principles
which are but too natural to the air of a court,
and peculiarly unfavourable to the character of a
patriot. Popular Scottish tradition, which de-
lighN to dwell upon the beloved champion of the
people, describes William Wallace as of dignified
stature, unequalled strength and dexterity, and so
brave, that only on one occasion, and that under
the influence of a supernatural power, is he
allowed by tradition to have experienced the sen-
sation of fear Tlie nature of VVallace was

fierce, but not inaccessible to pity or remorse.
As Ids unruly soldiers pillaged the church of
Hexham, he took the canons under his immediate
protection. ' Abide with me,' lie said, ' holy
men ; for my people are evil doers, and I may not

correct them.' " Sir Walter's account of

the fatal battle of Falkirk is substantially the same
as that of Lord Hailes, but in a more spirited and
chivalrous strain. " The Scottish archers, under
command of Sir John Stewart, brotlier of the
steward of Scotland, were drawn up in the in-
tervals between the masses of infantry. They
were chiefly brought from the wooded districts of
Selkirk. We liear of no Highland bowman amongst
them 1 he English cavalry began the action.

The marshal of England led half of the men-at-
arms straight upon the Scottish front, but, in
doing BO, involved them in the morass. The
bishop of Durham, who commanded the other
division of the English cavalry, was wheeling
round the morass on the east, and, perceiving
this misfortune, became disposed to wait for sup-
port. ' To mass. Bishop !' said Ralph Basset,
of Drayton, and charged with the whole body.
The Scottish men-at-arms went off without couch-
ing their lances ; but the infantry stood their
ground firmly. In the turmoil that followed. Sir
John Stewart fell from his horse, and was slain
among the archers of Ettricke, who died in de-
fending or avenging him But what Ed-
ward prized more than the surrender of the last
fortress which resisted his arms in Scotland, was
the captivity of her last patriot. He had found
in a Scottish nobleman. Sir John iMonteith, a
person willing to become his agent in searching
for Wallace among tlie wilds, where he was
driven to find refuge. Wallace was finally be-
trayed to the English by his unworthy and apos-
tate countryman, who obtained an opportunity of
seizing him at Robroyston, near Glasgow, by the
treachery of a servant. Sir William Wallace was
instantly transferred to London, where lie was
brought to trial in Westminster Hall, with as
much apparatus of infamy as the ingenuity of his
enemies could devise. He was crowned with a
garland of oak, to intimate that he had been king
of outlaws. The arraignment charged him with
high treason, in respect that he had stormed and
taken towns and castles, and shed much blood.
' Traitor,' said Wallace, ' was 1 never.' The
rest of the charges he confessed, and proceeded to
justify them. He was condemned and executed
by decapitation. His head was placed on a
pinacle on London Bridge, and his quarters were
distributed over the kingdom. Thus died this
courageous patriot, leaving a remembrance which
will be immortal in the "hearts of his country-
men."

and Sir John Gralium fell. At leiigtli tlie
Scots wert' hiokt'ii l)y the nunihtr and
weight of tlie Knglish cavalry, antl tlie rout
became universal. — 'i'ind .Inly, l'2!ilS." In
the course of a few yvnva the wliole country,
uith the exception of Stirling Castle, was
re-subdued by the Fnglisli. This was in
1303. Lord Hailes continues --" Amid this
wreck of the national liberties, Wallace
despaired not: he had lived n freeman — a
freeman lie resolved to die. Frazer, who
had loo oft complied with the times, now
caught the same heroic sentiments, liut
their endeavours to arouse their country-
men'were in vain. The season of resist-
ance was past. Wallace perceived tliat
there remained no more hope, and sought
out a place of concealment, where, eluding
the vengeance of Edward, he might silently
lament over his fallen country." According
to HiiNKY, the 3Iinstrel, Wallace subse-
quently retired into France, whence he had
only a short time returned before he was
betrayed into the hands of his foes, in the
July of 1305; most accounts say by Sir
John Monteith : but Lord Hailes vindicates
the knight from so infamous an act of trea-
chery to his friend. Wallace was imme-
diately conveyed to London, and there
sufl'ered a cruel death in the September
following, by the command of Edward, who
liad his limbs, as Buchanan expresses it,
" for the terror of others, hanged up in the
most noted places of London and of Scot-
land." There are contending opinions re-
garding the marriage of Wallace. The
jVinstrel and Blair declare for it. The
following passage from the latter is given
by Nisbet, in his account of the family of
Baillie of Lamingtouu :* — " So far as the
history of Sir William Wallace can be de-
pended on, it vouches this marriage and

* Through this family the Marquess of An-
CLKsv, the Ducliess of Portland, Lord Doune,
Lady Canning, Farquharson of Invercauld, and
others, boast of the blood of Baliol and Wallace.

Sin Alexander Baliol, of Cavers, uncle to
.loiiN Baliol, King of Scots, was great chamber-
lane of Scotland in 1'298. He married Isabel,
daughter and heiress of Richard de Chellam, and
widow of David de Strathbogie, Earl of Athol,
and had two sons, Andrew, his successor, and

William de Baliol, who had the lands of
Penstoun and Stoprig, in East Lothian and Carn-
brue, in Clydesdale. This William, it would
appear, is the same who married tlie heiress of
Lamingtoun (mentioned by Blair) and his son.

Sir William Baillie, of Lamingtoun, (living
in 1308) was the husband of Sir William Wal-
lace's daughter, and by her, father of

William Baillie, of Lamingtoun, who was i.
by his son and heir.

Sir Williaji Baillie, of Lamingtoun and Stoji-
rig, of which latter he is designed at the time

alliance ; for the author, jVr. Hhiu\ tells
us expressly, that Sir William's daughter
was married to a sipiire of tUi' lialiol blood,
and that way got the barony of Ijaining-
touii, which had formerly belonged to those
of the surname of JJraidfoot, whose heir-
female of that name was married to Sir
William Wallace." While \)r. Chalmers,
commenting on this statement, says, that '* it
is unsupported by any recorded autiiority,
and is certainly erroneous. Sir William
had no legitimate issue, but he leff a natural
daughtei-, who is said to have married Sir
William Baillie, of Stoprig, the progenitor
of the Baillies of Lamingtoun.

Here there is a chasm in the line of
Ellerlie. Craufurd says, " the lands of
EUerly returned to the family of Craigie,
and a younger son of that ancient family
obtained them in patrimony about the be-
ginning of the reign of Robert the Third,
anno 1390." In the account of the family
of Cragie, by Robertson, it is stated that
this younger son obtained these lands by
marrying the heiress of Wallace of Ellerslie,
about the same period. Both statements
evidently refer to one individual.

James Wallace, third son of John Wal-
lace, of Riccardton, by the heiress of Lind-
say, of Craigie, who married the heiress
of Wallace, of Ellerslie, and by her he
acquired that property, in the county of
Renfrew, which had for more than a cen-
tury preceding been held by a younger
branch of the Riccardton or Craigie family.
According to Craufurd he'had two sons,
John.

Thomas, to whom his father, in 1398,
resigned the lands of Auchinbothy,
in the barony parish of Paisley.
From him, in after times, descended
the Wallaces of Johnston by mar-
he became a hostage in England for the ransom
of James the First, in 1-132, when he was ex-
changed for David Leslie of that ilk. He was s.
by his son.

Sir William Baillie, of Lamingtoun, whose
son and successor,

Sir William Baillie, of Lamingtoun, was
father of

William Baillie, of Lamingtoun, who married
his cousin Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Douglas,
of Lochleven, and was s. by his son.

Sir William Baillie, of Lamingtoun, who was
appointed principal Master of the Wardrobe to
Queen Marv in VyV2. He married Lady Janet
Hamilton, daughter of James, Earl of Arran, and
widow of David Boswell, of Auchinleck, and by
her he had two sons, viz.

I. William (Sir), who inherited Lamingtoun,
and fought on the side of Mary, at Lang-
side, which caused his estates to undergo
a temporary sequestration. The male line

BIDDULPH, OF BIDDULPH.

13IDDULPH, JOHN, esq. of Biddulph, in the county of Stafford, and of Burton
Park, in the county of Sussex, succeeded his father May, 1784.

This gentleman is the head of the ancient family of Biddulph, and in uninterrupted
lineal male descent of the elder branch, to which all others are traced.

Himagc.

This name and family claims a Saxon
origin and derivation such as few now ex-
tant in England can boast.

Biddulph, variously written Bydulf, Bra-
dulf, Sec. is a vvord purely Saxon, com-
pounded of Bid, Biedw, and ulf, or wulf,
literally the wolf-killer. The latter entered
into the composition of a vast number of
names during the Heptarch, as Ethelwulf,
Ceolwnlf, <^T. when skill and courage in the
chase of the hordes of this ferocious animal
must J\ave been held in high estimation.*

That a family of tliis name existed in the
Saxon times in the northern parts, we have
evidence in the early chronicles, in which
we find "A.D. 790, Beadulfus, or Baldulf,
consecrated Bishop of Whitern, on the 16th
day before the Calends of August, by Arch-
bishop Eanbald, of York, and Bishop Ethel-
bert. Whitern was the capital of tlie king-
dom of Galloway, on the other side of the
Solway Frith, then recently subdued from

• A different origin of the name is suggested
in our Baronetage, but as this is confirmed by the
arras, and was adopted by the late learned anti-
<iuarv, the Rev. John Wliitaker, a connexion of
tiio family, it is probably correct. We trace the
same in other languages, as Hugh Lupus, Cante-
loupe, &c. and even in the heroic ages we have
'nvriOiov AvKoipnvrtji', in the Catalogue of Ho-
mer's Chieftains.

the Strath-cluyd Britons, under Walwein,
nephew of the great Arthur, and becoming
a province of the potent Northumbrian king-
dom of the Heptarchy, received both its
civil and spiritual governors from York.

The date of Bishop Beadulf's death is
not recorded, but it appears that he visited
his native province on solemn occasions, as
we find him on the death of Ethelred, assist-
ing Archbishop Eanbald, and other bishops,
by whom Erdulf, the successor in the
Northumbrian kingdom, " was consecrated
and raised to his throne at York, on the
seventh day before the Calends of June,
A. D. 795."

Biddulph (Bidulf, or Beadulf according
to the old Saxon orthography) is a village
and lordship in the north part of the county
of Stafford, or "the Moorlands," on the
very borders of Cheshire, which either
acquired its name from its possessors, or
conferred it on them. It had fallen to the
crown by their resistance to the Norman
invasion, like the greater part of the lands
in England, and, not having been granted
out, was recorded among the "Terra regis,"
in the Domesday Survey, and unlike the most
part of it, appears to have been restored,
through a female representative, to the line
of its ancient owners.

"The BiDDULPHS do derive themselves
( says Erdeswick ) from one Ormus le
Guidon, the son of Ricakdus Forestarius"
of Norman race, who held, as appears by
Domesday, ten lordships in the county of
Stafford, which were conferred upon him in
reward of his services. Biddulph, and
other large possessions were not included
in these.

The tradition is that Richard the Fo-
rester was only sixteen years of age when
he came in, and that subsequently, having
the Saxon heiress given to him in marriage,
these latter were restored either to him or
to his son, in whose possession we find tliem
in the succeeding reign. A great part of
these estates lay in a wild country bordered
by the river Trent, and much covered with
wood, — he thence proliably derived the de-
signation of FoRESTARii'j, for, he may

rally adopted, but uicu were distiiiguislied
by their birth as Fitz — ; by personal or
mental cpialities, as Itiifiis, Braiirlere ; or
by their oliice or employment, as Forcs-
tarius, and his neiglihour dt^ Firrurhis, or
Ferrers. Thus Ormiis '* Ic Guidon" must
have been a Standard-bearer to tiie king,
or to one of tlui gr.'at barons de Toni, (Staf-
ford) Ferrers, (,'liester, or Slirewsbury,
whose territories lay in the same neigh-
bourhood as his own, and with whom it
seems Richard and his son were joined,
when the chivalry of Cheshire and Staflord
were led against tlie Welch in the reigns of
William the First, and William Rufus, to
the end of which latter, the Forrester, hav-
ing survived his master the Conqueror,
seems to have lived.

Ormus le Guidon, his only son, suc-
ceeded him in all his possessions. He was
also called de Darleston, from a Lordship
near Stone, the seat of his principal resi-
dence. He wedded .... the daugh-
ter of Nicolas de Beauchamp,* Vice Com.
de Stafford, by Emraeline, daughter and
heir of Urso de Abitot, both great and
powerful nobles. Ormus, it should seem,
lived through the reigns of the William II.
Henry I. and Stephen. What part he
took in the affairs of those stirring times
is not precisely stated, nor under whose
banner he acquired his honourable cog-
nomen. As large possessions were con-
ferred upon him, in addition to those which
he inherited from his father Richard the
Forester, and those he held as predatory
to the church of Burton,t there seems no
doubt but he served his sovereigns with
valour and fidelity.

There is documentary evidence of con-
nection with Ranulph, Earl of Chester, one

* In a later age, there has been another inter-
marriage between one branch of the Biddulphs,
and the female representative of one line of the
Beauchamps.

t A series of documents is extant, taken from
the Registers of Burton Abbey, exhibiting the
nature of the connexion between the convent,
and successive heads of this powerful family, and
not only establisliing several points of its history,
but curious, as throwing light upon the manners
and habits of the age.

The first of these is a "Convention" made
between Godfrey Abbot, of Burton, and Ormus
de Darlaveston (as he is called) done in a chap-
ter held of the monks, who were assenting to
the grant. " The abbot granted Darlweston to
Ormus, himself, and to his son Robert, born of
the dau. of Nicholas, the Viscount, for nine-
pence yearly rent. The said Ormus, and his son,
on their part, were to entertain hospitably the
abbot, whenever he would, and to aid and assist
him, with his followers and vassals, whenever he

of tlie most accomplislied nobles of his
time, and son-in-law to Robert Earl of
(Jloucester, which probably determined the
line which Ormus and his son Robert took
in the contest for the succession between
Stepiien and the Knipress Maud, and her
son Henry II. into whose reign a com-
l)arison of the dates in the Burton Abbey
Register, leads us to suppose that he lived
to see the establishment of the line of
Plantagenet on the throne.

Ormus had four sons by the daughter of
Nicholas Beauchamp, Vice com. de Stafford ;
Robert, Edward, Thomas, and Alured.
His eldest son, Robert, succeeded him at
Darleston, as predatory to the Abbey of
Burton, as well as to the greater part of his
lay possessions.

Robert's son, Ralph de Darleston, dying
*. p. his sister Alina, m. to Ingenulfus de
Gresley, was his heir. She divided the
family possessions as follows: —

Darleston, Fenton, and part of Biddulph,
to Avisia, her daughter, the wife of Henry
de Verdon, which, after three descents
came to Alicia de Verdon, wlio 7/1. Edward
Manwaring, third brother of Sir Ranulf
Manwaring, kut. of Pever, in Cheshire, in
which family part of Biddulph remains to
this day. Tunstall, Chattersly, and Chell,
to her other daughter Petronella, m. to
Henry de Audeley (Aldithelegh) founder
of the ancient and noble line of Audley.
To Roger, the son of Edward, her uncle,
Middle- Biddulph. To Thomas, her other
uncle, she gave Ot>er-Biddulph, and Nor-
manscote. And to Alured, her third uncle,
Knipersly ; his descendants taking their
name from the place from temp. Hen. III.
till 2nd Rich. II. when Katherine, the
heiress of Knippersly, carried the estate
into the family of Bowyer, in which a
Baronetcy (since extinct) was created in

had need ; and, upon their death, their bodies
were to be carried to Burton, to be buried, where
they were to be very honorably received by the
monks. And, with them was to be brought the
whole of their chattels, whatever they had in all
places. In like manner concerning the wife of
Ormus, when she died ; her body was to be
received with great honour, and buried at
Burton." Other similar "conventions" with
their descendants appear.

Such was the nature of the relations esta-
blished in those times between the church and
the great land-owners, involving on the part of
the latter, protection and aid of the strong arm,
for tlie weaker party, whose lands they held at an
easy rate ; hospitality and mutual good offices on
the part of both ; and, on that of the church,
what might best tend to soften the rude habits
and dispositions of these military tenants, and
their followers — a kindly provision of the offices
of religion, following them, as we have seen, to
the last solemn rites of the tomb.

BIDDULPH, OF BIDDULPH.

1660. The male line of the Bowyers,
however, failed, and the representation
passed, tlnough female lieirs, to Sir Nigel
Jiowyer Gresley, hart, and Charles Bowyer
Adderly, esq. of Hams, in the county of
Warwick.

Of the descendants of Ormus, the de-
scent is thus shortly traced, of the female
elder hranch, through the Verdons, Man-
wakings, and A'JDLEYS, and of his fourth
son, Alured, to the Bow vers, &c.

The descendants of Thomas, the third
son, took the name of Overton, from inhe-
riting Over-Biddulph, and after five de-
scents merged in the second hranch, by the
marriage of Cicily, the daughter and heir of
Thomas Overton, with John de Biddulph.

But the lineal male representative of
Ormus le Guidon (on failure of the male
line of Robert de Darleston, his eldest son)
and the direct line of Biddulph come from
Edward, his second son, who first took the
name of Biddulph from that part of the
family possessions, which has continued in
the same line in direct uninterrupted de-
ilescent for twenty generations, during a
period of more than seven hundred years.

The seat of their residence was on or
near the same scite on which the noble edi-
tice, now in ruins, was afterwards erected ;
but, like the Norman buildings in general,
of far did'erent character, rude and massive,
allbrdiug little accommodation but a strong
iiold, such as the times reipiired, and to
which its situation, placed high, and on the
very verge of the Moorlands, must have
greatly contributed.

Edward's son, Roger de Biddulph, suc-
ceeded to these possessions in the division
made of the great estates of his grandfather
Ormus, between his male representatives
and the Audleys and Verdons, in right of the
iemale branches.

I* should seem that the whole kindred
adhered to King John, being of the number
of " those Lords who (as the Chronicle says)
were constant to him with all his faults."

17 Henry HI., A.D. 1223, Henry de
Audley, founded Hilton Abbey, near his
Castle of Helegli, and endowed it with lands
in puram. et perpet. eleemosynam. Of
these, Normanscote was derived from the
gift or confirmation of his cousin, Sir Henry
BiDDULi'H, knt., son of Thomas de Overton,
or Over-Biddulph, it having been part of
the family possessions from the Conquest.
It appears that other parts of the territories
of the Barons of Audley were derived from
the same stock, as in the Charter of Confir-
mation of King Henry IH. in addition to
those by grant from the great Hannlf, Earl
of Chester, and Hugh de Lacy, Constable
of Chester (with both of whom all this Staf-
fordsliire kindred seem to have been strictly
allied) there are comprised,

" Ex dono Nic. de Verdon, Aldithlegh
cum omnibus pertinent, et libert. suis."
" Ex. dono En(/enulji de Gresleij, et Alivae
ux. ejus Tunstall, Sec." And lands " Ex dono
Margaretse de extraneo, filiae Guidonis ex-
tranei ;" a dau. it is presumed of Ormus.

Hilton Abbey was, according to the
custom of those times, the burial-place of
the founders and their kindred, but its
ruins afford no trace of their tombs.

The family which had been thus "con-
stant to the father, were more tender of the
son," and continued their devotion to the
race of Plantagenet, in the person of
Henry III. They were particularly at-
tached to his brother Richard, Earl of
Cornwall, whom James de Audley attended
when he was crow ned King of the Romans,
at Aix la Chapelle, in 1257.

In the great Barons' wars, headed by the
powerful Simon de Montfort, the Earl of
Leicester, they were loyal to their king,
(tlie Earl of Cornwall, and many of the
northern lords, being drawn over to his
side,) and aided Prince Edward in the
battle of Evesham, where the defeat and
death of Mountfort ultimately broke the
power of the confederate Barons. An an-
tient seal, bearing the impress of the Arms
of Biddulph, was lately dug up in the neigh-
bourhood.

The race of Ormus, however, became
allied to that powerful family, and through
that connection to Llewellyn, the last and
gallant Prince of Wales, Felicia, fourth in
descent from the founder of the Biddulplis,
having married Robert, youngest son of
Simon de Montfort, who, after the discom-
fiture and death of the Earl, remained pri-
vately in England, and changed his name
to Wellesborne, while his elder brothers,
Simon and Grey, being banished, became
the respective founders of the foreign lines
of Mountfort, Earl of Bigorre, in France,
and then of the Mountfords, of Tus-
cany, and the Earls of Campo-Bacchi in
Naples.

In the 54th Henry HI. 1270, it seems
that Thomas de Biddulph, with his kins-
man James de Audley, attended Prince
Edward in the Crusade to the Holy Land,
which he undertook, accompanied by
Elinor, afterwards his Queen, when Aeon
was gallantly rescued from the infidels.
There is a tradition to this day in the
neighbourhood of Biddulph, that certain
families, whose lineaments betray their
Eastern origin, are descendants of some
Saracen followers, who attended their mas-
ter on his return from this crusade.

Robert de Biddulph was, with his kins-
man, James de Audley, at the battle of
l*oicli(MS, when the French king was taken
under Edward HI.

days before the battle of Agincourt, when,
being; eharged by the French, they reco-
vered the Standard of Hugh Stafford, Lord
JJouchier, and completely routed their as-
sailants.

In the wars between the Houses of York
and Lancaster, this Staflbrdshire kindred
adhered to the fortunes of the hitter, and
fought under the cognizance of tiie Red
Rose. They sufi'ered severely early in this
lamentable contest at the battle of Blore-
licalh, X.D. 1459, in their own neighbour-
hood, at which Lord Audley, who com-
manded, with most of the gentlemen who
gallantly fought in that cause, were slain.

In the reign of Henry VHI. the family
of Biddulph became divided into two
branches. The elder line, represented by
Sir Richard Biddulph, knt., who suc-
ceeded to the estates, adhered steadily to
the principles and faith of their ancestors
during all the religious revolutions of that
and the succeeding reigns, witli many of the
ancient families in the northern parts of
England.

Richard Biddulph, of Biddulph, son of
William of Biddulph, and the direct de-
scendant of Ormus le Guidon, had two sons,
I. Richard (Sir), his heir.
. II. Symon, who settled at Elmhurst,
embraced the established forms of the
Protestant faith, and married Joyce,
dau. of Sir Robert Weston, sprung
from a common ancestor with the
Earls of Portland. Being the father
of a numerous offspring, the hive
sent forth its swarms, and, as has
been often the case in the cadets of
ancient houses, some of them devot-
ing themselves to the higher brandies
of commerce, laid the foundations of
future opulence, and became the pa-
rent stocks of flourishing branches,
destined to carry on, and maintain
the family name, when, after many
generations, the elder line should
become gradually extinct. Symon
was father of another

tion of Voyages from
the library of the Earl
of Oxford.":

t We niay here mention an anecdote relative
to the Baronet's line — that Farquhar, who wrote

character of his Lady Bountiful from Lady Bid-
dulph, then residing at the Palace there, as he
did his Bonifuce from the Landlord of the George,

BIDDULPH, OF BIDDULPH.

The eldest son.

Sir Richard Biddulph, knt. succeeded
to the family estates, temp. Henry VIII.
He m. Petronilla, daii. of Sir Robert Aston,
of an ancient family, seated in the counties
of Staflord and Chester, and had a son and
successor,

Richard Biddulph, of Biddulph, who
wedded Margaret, dau. and co-heir of Sir
John Salwey, by Margaret, his wife, dau.
of Hugh Erdeswick, (see vol. i. p. 153,)
and was succeeded by his son,

Francis Biddulph, esq. of Biddulph, who
m. Isabel, dau. of Sir Thomas Gitfard, of
Chillington, and had a son Richard, his
heir. The reign of Elizabeth was distin-
guished by the noble mansions which the
representatives of the ancient families
erected on their domains, in the style
which is called the "Tudor architecture."
The house which Francis Biddulph built
at Biddulph, appears, from the noble ruins
still extant, to have all the best features of
this style.f The son and successor,

hear of the manners, government, religion, and
customs, of foreign and heathen countries." The
Editor describes Mr. William Biddulph, as
" Preacher to the Company of English Rlerchants
residing in Aleppo," and testifies to his "learning,
sound judgment, and veracity, and, as not having
delivered every thing that was told for a truth,
but examined every particular with judgment
and reason."

In one of his letters " he relateth his travels
from Aleppo to Jerusalem, by the Sea of Galilee,
or Tiberias, and the Lake of Gennesareth, and so
through the whole land of Canaan, which way
was never travelled by any Englishman before.
And this journey," hequaintly observes, in con-
clusion, "may be called Jacob's journey, because
all the whole way which they travelled thither, is
the way which Jacob travelled from Bethel to
Beersheba, to his uncle Laban's house, at Padan-
aran, in Mesopotamia."

He appears to liave been at Jerusalem at
Easter, 1611.

His admonition to his "loving countr^Tiien,
that either shall hereafter serve in the wars of
Hungary, against the Turks, or trade in those
places, utterly to detest the Turkish religion, is
very characteristic and becoming his sacred pro-
fession. He compares heathenism and maho-
metanism to glass, — " touch not glass, for thougli
it be bright, yet it is brittle ; it cannot endure the
hammer;" and cliristianism to gold; "do you
melt it, or do you rub it, or do you beat it, it
shineth still more orient."

carved and modelled in the Italian style, then
blended (bv tlio encouragement given to Italian
architects) with tlie features of I'.nglish ardiitec-
ture, which, borrowed both from the ecclesiastical
and castellated style, mixed with a revival of
Roman forms. The pilasters and ornaments are

in the troubled times of the /iVsi Charles,
when both branches of the family, the Ca-
tholic and the Protestant, espoused with zeal
the royal cause, and suffered severely for
their devotion. John Biddulph, of Biddulph,
contributed men and money, with the other
Catholics of Staffordshire, to the formation
of the king's first army ; that Avhich fought
at Edgehill. Biddulph-Hall was soon after
garrisoned, and made a strong and import-
ant post in keeping up the communications
with Chester, 8cc. A younger brother
of the family was one of the gentlemen of
Staffordshire, who seized, and kept the
Close of Litchfield, until it was retaken by
the Parliamentary forces under Lord
Brook, who, during the siege took pos-
session of, and occupied as quarters, the
house of Mr. Michael Biddulph, of Elm-
hurst, then M.P. for the city. In the sub-
sequent fight at Hopton Heath, this " Cap-
tain Biddulph" fell at the head of his troop,
gallantly seconding the charge of the Earl
of Northampton, with whose family the
Biddulphs were now, or shortly after con-
nected, by the marriage of Mary, daughter
of Francis Biddulph, esq. of Biddulph, with
George Compton, esq. of Brambletye-house.
Biddulph-hall, as it was one of the first of
the posts garrisoned for the king, was one
of the last to surrender. We find a garri-
son there even after the disastrous battle of
Marston Moor; and early in 1645, the king,
in person, visited all those quarters, in his
way to Chester, shortly before his last
fight at Naseby, after which Biddulph-Hall
was plundered and laid in ruins, except the

gallery, or balcony, over the gate, surmounted by
a sort of battlemented pyramid, while the princi-
pal apartments on this side end in two noble
bays, or oriels, also carried up to the same
height. On the other side are similar bays, of
noble jiroportions, and on tlie north rises a lofty
tower, ending in a dome, which is vaulted with
stone, moulded into the shape of scales, in a sin-
gular, but most effective manner, Tlie whole is
of beautiful grey stone, and does credit to the
spirit and magnificence of the founder, who little
thought tliat an edifice, calculated to be the resi-
dence of his family for ages, would, within less
than a centurv, fall a sacrifice to democratic and
jiurilauical violence.

Lovat succeeded his father in 1803.

The clayi Eraser, of which Lovat is the
chief, are of Norman descent. The name of
Frisell, their original designation, occurs
in the roll of Battle Abbey, and establishes
their advent under the standard of the Con-
queror.

From East Lothian, their earliest resting-
place in Scotland, the Erasers diverged into
Tweeddale in the twelfth and thirteentli
centuries, and subsequently into tlie sliires
of Inverness and Aberdeen. Oliver Eraser,
the chief of tlie clan, built and gave bis
name to Oliver Castle, whicli continued in
after times their principal feudal hold.

of the name, and his son, Alexander, the
third, we trace

exercising the office of sheriff of Traquair

or Tweeddale. He was father of three sons,

1. Simon (Sir), who succeeded to the

sheriffdom, and who was one of the

most eminent characters of his day.

His name occurs repeatedly among

the " barones regni Scotife" assem-
bled to regulate the succession to the
Scottish crown. He was designed
in the records of the time pater, to
distinguish him from his son and suc-
cessor.

quently joined the standard of
Jiiu'CK, and was at the battle of
Methven ; where, after thrice

self made prisoner. From this
likewise fatal field he was con-
veyed to London, and there put
to death under circumstances of
extreme barbarity on the 8th
September, 1.3(1(5. Sir Simon
Fraser leaving;- no male issue,
his two daughters divided liis
extensive estates between them :
the elder married the ancestor
of the noble family of Yester or
Tweeddale ; the younger, the
progenitor of the Lords Fleming
and Earls of Wigton.

II. Andrew (Sir), of Caithness.

III. William, Bishop of St. Andrew's,
and Chancellor.

The direct male line of the principal south
country family of Fraser, after being the
most conspicuous surname in Peebleshire,
during tlie Scoto-Saxon period, from 1097
to loOG, having thus expired in the person
of the gallant Sir Simon, the male repre-
sentation of the clan devolved of course
upon the next male heir, in the person of
his uncle.

Sir Andrew Fraser, who independently
of the figure which he made in history,
claims special attention as the first of the
name who established an interest for him-
self and his descendants in the northern
parts of Scotland ; more particularly in the
shire of Inverness, where they have flou-
rished ever since. He courted, won, and
wed an heiress of Caithness, a district, then
and for many centuries afterwards, com-
prehended within the sherift'dom of Inver-
ness. By this lady Sir Andrew left four
sons, viz.

* " All resources but their own courage had
failed them ; that last resource had failed them
now. They hastened to conciliate the favour of
the conqueror. Previous to this, Bruce had sur-
rendered. They stipulated for their lives, liber-
ties, and estates ; reserving;- for Kdward the power
of inflicting fines as he should see fit. From these
conditions were excepted Wishart, Hisbop of
Cilasp^ow ; the Stewart; Sir .Tohn Soulis ; David

nent career, Sir Alexander fell in the
disastrous surprise (as it may be most
appro])riately termed) of the Scots
upon Dupplin Moor in August, 13.'3'i.

Highlands " the descendants of Simson or
Simon," like his father formed an honour-
able matrimonial connection with a lady of
Inverness-shire, having espoused Margaret,
one of the heiresses of the earldom of Caith-
ness. Simon Fraser is mentioned in record
from his appearance with his brother in
support of Bruce, from 1308 down to 1333,
when he closed a life of renown at the battle
of Hallidon Hill. He was *■. by his eldest

* This Sir Alexander Fraser is often erro-
neously confounded with an Alexander Fraser of
" Cowie and Durris," the undoubted male an-
cestor of the Frasers of Philorth (now Lords
Saltoun), which family, it cannot be disputed, de-
rives from William, son of Alexander Fraser, who
flourished during- the early jtart of the fourteenth
century, and succeeded to his father in the estates
of Cowie and Durris ; but in the document which
proves the fact, he has no Icnightly designation, a
title which record establishes Sir Alexander, the
chamberlain, to have borne from lo08 ; to this
circumstance mav be added the failure of the male
line of the chamberlain before 1.S55, and the im-
practicability ofshowing that he ever held the estate
of Collie or Cowie. Moreover, Alexander Fraser,
the ancestor of the house of Philorth, was dead
long before the chamberlain commenced his career,
for there is explicit proof l)y Kagraan's Roll, that
on the 7th July, l-'9ti, " \\ illiam Fraser, the son
of the late Alexander Fraser," swore fealty to
Edwapd L at Farnel, Forfarshire, contiguous to
the quarter of Scotland where the family estates
were situated. Thus the chamberlain and Alex-
ander of Cowie were obviously diflferent indi-
viduals.

FRASER, OF LOVAT.

mily designed in legal writings " of Ard
and of Lovet," lands which still remain in
the possession of his descendants. Under
this title he figures in the year 1367. The
precise period when the Frasers of Lovat
came to the peerage is not ascertained :
there is no patent of the honour ; and, in-
deed, prior to the reignof James VI. patents
having reference to dignities alone were
unknown ; but tliere are strong reasons for
believing that the chiefs of the clan sate as
parliamentary barons in the reign of
James I. And it is certain that since the
time of Hugh or Hutcheon Frisel, " Lord of
the Lovet," (who is so styled in his mar-
riage articles with the Lord Fenton's sister,
3rd March, 1416, confirmed by the sove-
reign in September, 1431,) the fomily has
ranked amongst the Scottish nobility, for in
the decreet of ranking given out by Kin;/
James YL (5th March, 1606,) establishing
the order of precedence of the various no-
bles, there is an entry of this very deed as
the Lord Lovat's proof of creation and pre-
cedency as a lord of parliament, and the
king assigns him a place between the Lords
Oliphant and Ogilvy. Hugh, first Lord
Lovat, died in 1440, and was interred at
Beauly, leaving by Janet Fenton, his wife,
Hugh Fraser, second Lord Lovat, who
m. a sister of David of the Wemyss, Lord
of that Ilk, and died in 1450, at an early
age, when he was s. by his son,

Hugh Fraser, third Lord Lovat. This
nobleman espoused the Lady Margaret
Lyon, daughter of the Earl of Glammis,
who bore him four sons and three daugh-
ters. The second daughter married Sir
Kenneth Mackenzie, eighth Laird of Kin-
tail, and from that alliance descend the
numerous race of the Mackenzies. This
Hugh occurs for the first time in record in
1471 , and then by the style of " Hugh, Lord
Fraser.* An indenture is entered into, 3rd
March, 1472, between this nobleman and
the town of Nairn, whereby the latter be-
comes bound to his lordship, in leal and
true manrent and service, and he under-
takes to be a good lord, maintainer, pro-
tector, and defender in all tlieir rightful
causes and quarrels. He was s. at his de-
cease by his son,

Thomas Fraser, fourth Lord Lovat, who
was served heir to liis father, 22nd May,
1501. His lordship wedded, first, Janet,
daughter of Sir Alexander Gordon, of
Achindown and Midmor; by this lady he
had three sons. He married, secondly,
Janet, daughter of Andrew, third Lord

head of the clan.

Gray, and relict of Alexander Blair, of
Bathyock, and by her had three other sons
and two daughters ; one of the latter died
unmarried ; Janet, the other, became the
wife of John Crichton, of Ruthven. From
this nobleman's sons sprang many of the
most respectable branches of the clan. His
lordship, who had numerous grants of land
from the crown, was s. at his decease by
his son,

Hugh Fraser, fifth Lord Lovat, who, in
the year 1539, resigned his castle, lands,
and baronies into King James the Fifth's
own hands at Linlithgow, and obtained from
that prince a charter, uniting and erecting
the various lands and baronies so resigned
into one free and entire barony, to be called
in all time coming, the barony of Lovat, in
favour of himself and the heirs male of his
body lawfully begotten, whom failing, to his
lawful and nearest heirs male whatsoever,
bearing the arms, crest, and surname of
Fraser, in fee and heritage and free barony
for ever. The charter is dated 26th March,
1539. This lord fell in the bloody battle
fought by his clan with the Macdonalds at
Lochlochy, 15th July, 1544. The Frasers
stript to their shirts, whence the combat is
called that of Blaranlein. Their chief, his
eldest son, and eighty gentlemen of the
Frasers were killed ; and, if tradition may
be credited, every one of them left his wife
pregnant of a male child.

His lordship m. first, Anne, daughter of
Grant of Grant, and had an only son, he
who fell with himself in battle. He espoused
secondly, Janet, daughter of Ross of Bal-
nagowan, and by her had two sons and two
daughters, viz.

Alexander, his heir.

Andrew or William, of Struy.

Ann, m. first, to Macleod of Macleod,

and secondly to Bain of TuUoch.
Catherine, vi. to Rose of Kilravock.
He was s. by his son,

of Calder, and had, with one daughter, the
wife of Fraser of Dalcross, three sous,

His lordship died at Perth, 4th September,
1696, and thus leaving no male issue, the
title and estates reverted to his great uncle,
Thomas Eraser, of Beaufort, as twelfth
Lord Lovat. He had m. a dau. of M'Leod
of M'Leod, by whom he had several chil-
dren ; and, as his claim was incontestible,
his then eldest surviving son, Captain
Simon Fraser, assumed the designation of
" blaster of Lovat." But the Earl of Tulli-
bardine, eldest son of the Marquess of
Atholl, and Secretary of State, conceived
the design of having his niece, Amelia,
eldest daughter of the deceased Lord Lovat,
declared heiress to her father, and married
to one of his own sons. This project was
subsequently in part given up ; the family
of Atholl resolving on uniting her to Mr.
Fraser, the Lord of Saltoun's son. Young
Simon, of Beaufort, fancied the lady him-
self, but his suit miscarrying, he conceived
the idea of forcing her mother, the Dow-
ager Lady Lovat, (who held a considerable
portion of the estate in right of her jointure)
to espouse him; and, after a series of adven-
trues, revolting to humanity, got possession
of her person. Such unparalleled proceed-
ings excited the utmost vigilance of the go-
vernment. Troops were despatched against
Simon, and the Clan Fraser, with orders to
exterminate them without mercy. Simon
was tried in hij absence, and outlawed for
treason and rape. His father escaped to
the Isle of Skye, where he died in May,
1698-9. The delinquent, himself, was
forced to fly into France, where his restless
spirit was for a while doomed to inactivity,
in the Bastile. His withdrawal enabled
the family of Atholl to complete their plans
for the total ruin of his house ; and to
adjudge his honours and estates; which
were settled by entail on the heirs of
Amelia Fkaser's marriage with young

FRASER, OF LOVAT.

Prestonhall, who, as stated, under the
eleventh Lord, had assumed the name and
designation of " Fraser, of Fraserdale."
The Rebellion of 1715, changing, however,
the face of afi'airs,

Simon Frasek, Lord Lovat, as he was
styled, re-appeared in his native country,
on behalf of government, and was highly
instrumental in ([uelling the insurrection.
He regained his title and paternal estates,
and eventually terminated a varied career
on Tower-hill, in April 1747. In 1740, he
signed the association to join Charles-Ed-
ward, from whom he accepted the commission
of Lieutenant-General, and General of the
Highlands, with a patent, creating him
Duke of Fraser. On the breaking out of
the rebellion, five years afterwards, 1745,
he sent his eldest son and his clansmen to
join the standard of the Chevalier, but
remained at home himself; when all was
over he was taken into custody, 1746, con-
veyed to London, and put upon his trial for
high treason, before the House of Lords, on
the 7th of March, 1747, convicted on the
10th of the same month, and decapitated on
Tower-hill, the 9th of April following, in
the 80th year of his age. The proceedings
against his lordship began in Westminster
Hall, on Monday, the 9th of May, and con-
tinued on the 10th, 11th, 13th, 16th, 18th,
and 19th days of the same month, when the
doom of a traitor was pronounced upon
him. His lordship called no witnesses,
but spoke at considerable length in defence,
making a great merit of his exertions, in
1715, and grievous complaints for the dis-
banding of his company. From the mo-
ment of his condemnation, the unhappy
nobleman behaved with dignified compo-
sure. When the warrant came down for
his execution, he cheerfully exclaimed,
"God's will be done!" and, taking the
messenger by the hand, drank his health,
and thanked him kindly for the favour, as
lie called it, assuring him he would not
change places with any prince in Europe.
His last care was to write a letter to his
son, replete with the tenderest sentiments.
When the hour of execution approached,
he conversed in a cheerful and easy tone
with those about him, saying, he died " as
a Highland chieftain should die — not in his
bed." On mounting the stc])S of the scaf-
fold, the vast crowd extorted an expression
of surprise: "God save us! what a bustle
there is about taking off an old grey head,
that cannot get up three steps without two
men to support it.'' He then kneeled down
to the block, and his head, at one blow was
severed from his body.*

• His lordsliiji had a grotesque and singular
nppearance, but, his portrait bv Hogarth, super-
sedes any description.

Beside the compulsatory alliance Lord
Lovat forced upon the Dowager, Lady
Lovat, he entered into two other marriages.
First, with Margaret, fourth daughter of
Ludovick Grant, of Grant ; and, secondly,
with Primrose, fifth daughter of John
Campbell, of Mamore, and sister of John,
fourth Duke of Argyle. He left two sons,
Simon, his heir, and Alexander, who d. in
1762, with one daughter, Janet, married to
Macpherson, of Clunie. By Primrose, his
lordship had an only child, Archibald
Campbell, of whom presently. The eldest
son, the gallant

General Simon Eraser, was at the Uni-
versity of St. Andrew when the rebellion
broke out in 1745, and was sent for from
thence by his father, to head the clan in
support of the Chevalier, which the Master
most unwillingly did. In 1746, he joined
Charles-Edward, with six hundred of his
father's vassals, and thenceforward was
most zealous in the discharge of his du-
ties. His clan was one of the few who
eflfected a junction with the Prince on the
morning of the engagement at Culloden,
and fresh auxiliaries from the tribe were
hastening up at the very momeHt of that
ill-judged action. " It were to no purpose
at this period (says Mr. Anderson, in his
interesting account of the Erasers) to com-
ment on the rashness of an army, exhausted
by a night march, in want of food and
repose, and thinned by desertion, giving
battle to another superior in numbers, ani-
mated with the hope of victory, and com-
plete in material. In justice to the brave
men who contended under such disadvan-
tages, be it enough to say that, by their
gallant demeanour, they shed a partial
light among the expiring hopes of an un-
fortunate race." On that dreadful day, the
clan Fraser behaved with their wonted
resolution, and were permitted to march off
nnattacked, their pipes playing and colours
flying. The Master of Lovat surrendered
himself in 1746, was confined in the castle
of Edinburgh until August, 1747, when he
proceeded to Glasgow, there to remain
during the king's pleasure. In 1750, how-
ever, a full and free pardon passed the
seals for him, and every act of his future
life justified the favour of government.
An ofler of a regiment in the French
service was soon after made to Fraser,
but refused : he desired leave to be em-
ployed in the British army: raised, in 1757,
a regiment of eighteen hundred men, of
which he was constituted colonel, 5th of
Jan. 1757, went at their head to America,
and highly distinguished himself at Louis-
bourg and Quebec, where the regiment
sufi'ered much. He was a brigadier-
general in the forces sent to Portugal, in
1762, to defend that kingdom against the

Spaniards, and was ovrntiially appointed
colonel of the 7lst rejiiinent, and lieutenant-
general in the army. In 17(>1 he was eliosen
member of parliament for the connty ol
Inverness, and was constantly rechosen
nntil his death. He died withont issue in
17H2, and was succeeded in his estate, (to
which he had been restored for his distin-
guished military services) by his half
brother,

Coi.oNF.i. Akciiibald-Cami'hii,!, Fkaskk,
of Lovat. This gentleman had by liis wife,
Jane, sister of Sir William Fraser, bart.
of Leadclune, five sons, all of whom he
survived: and, by his demise, in December,
1815, the male descendants of Hugh, ninth
Lord Lovat, becoming extinct, the male re-
presentation of the family, as well as the
right to its extensive entailed estates, de-
volved upon the junior descendant of
Alexander, sixth Lord, whose line is
thus deduced.

The Hon. Thomas Frasek, second son
of the sixth lord, was of Knockie, in Inver-
ness-shire, in 1557, as appears by the origi-
nal charter of Alexander Lord Lovat, " filio
nostro Thoma^ Fraser," bearing that date.
In 1576 he was retoured tutor at law to
Simon, Lord Lovat, and subsequently wed-
ded* Isabel, daughter of Forbes,ofCorfurdie,
and widow of William Chalmers,of Strichen,
by whom (who died 30th Nov. 1611, and
was buried at Bcauly) he left at his decease
2d Oct. 1612, aged sixty-six, a son and suc-
cessor,

Thomas Fraser, who was served heir to
his father, in the estate of Strichen, 31st
Oct. 1612, infeft in the barony of Strichen,
on precept from Chancery 10th of the fol-
lowing November, and had precept of dare

* Thomas Fraser, of Knockie, was in the active
discharge of his duties as tutor to his nephew,
Simon Lord Lovat, when the widow of Thomas
Fraser, son of Philorth, entreated his assistance
against the family jof Gordon. The widow, by
name Isabel, daughter of Forbes, of Corfurdie,
had taken as her first husband William Chalmers,
of Strichen. This person's elder brother, George
Chalmers, had been long abroad, and there was
little chance of his returning. William died in
the possession of the estate. His widow some-
time after married I'homas Fraser, son of Philorth,
who assumed the title of " Strichen." But the
old proprietors, unwilling to part with their in-
heritance, threatened to dispossess him ; and their
disputes led to several fruitless conferences. The
Chalmers, in their necessity, had recourse to
Gordon, of Gight. He and Fraser met at Old
Deer, in the ho)>es of effecting a compromise, but
the overtures of either party meeting with con-
tempt, Gordon, in a rage, followed after Fraser,
and coming behind him at the Bridge of Dee,
laid him dead with one blow of his two-lianded
sword.

of the law, was admitted a lord of session

To avenge her cause, Isabel Forbes, now for
the second time a widow, detailed her woes to
Thomas Fraser, of Knocky. He listened to her
complaints, used all his interest in her behalf, and
in spite of the opposition of the Earl of Huntley
himself, had Gight, his kinsman, condemned ;
but ultimately released him on paying 5000 merks
as an assythement for the murder. Gight was
afterwards killed at the battle of Glenlivat. It
was Knockie's turn to ])lav the suitor, and tlie
lady, in gratitude for his services, became again
a wife. Her husband, to prevent further dis-
putes, bought up the claims of the family of
Chalmers. His next business was to arrange
matters with the daughters of his wife's former
husband, Thomas Fraser. On his deatli, which
happened 24th Decendjer, \r)76, his widow en-
joyed the life-rent of his estate, the fee being
l)rovided to the children of the marriage, as ap-
pears by a crown charter, " Thomas Fraser de

8th October, l.i73, on which seisin passes 6th

mint. Lord Strichen was remarkable for
having sat the unusually long period of
forty-five years on the bench. At the time
of the Douglas cause (1768) he was the old-
est Scottish judge, being of no less than
twenty-four years longer standing than any
of his brethren. Si liceat ludere (says a
late collector of olden memoirs) he must
have been one of the judges who sat on the
famous case of Effie Deans, anno 1736. In
the year of his appointment to a seat in the
justiciary court, he travelled the autumn
circuit to Inverness, and was met by his
kinsman, Simon Lord Lovat, a few miles
from the town, attended by a great retinue,
eager to honour and congratulate him on his
new dignity. His Lordship m. in 1731,
Ann, Countess of Bute, and dying 15th Feb.
1775, left an only son,

Alexander Fraser, of Strichen, who m.
in 1764, Jean, only daughter of William
Menzies, esq., of the parish of St. Ann's,

for his being buried in liis own orchard,

ing inscription : " Hie jacet Robertvs Hvt-
ton Armiger qui obiit, Avg. die nono, 1680.
Et nioricudo vivit." To tliis gentleman, the

credited, with the plunder obtained at the

sacking of Dmuloc ; but " tlu; building
itself," says Mr. Surtees, " aflTonls strong
evidence of an earlier date, and may, more
probably be ascribed to the Rector of
flougliton, the founder of tlie family, be-
tween the years 158'Jand 1(523." Its exter-
nal structure is an oblong square, the cor-
responding sides exactly uniform, and the
chief front to the west equally plain with
the rest, without fa^;ade, or ornamented
door- ways. The windows are regular,
divided into five, or into three lights, by
stone mnllions ; and the leads are sur-
mounted by a plain pediment. The man-
sion has undergone little either of repair or
alteration ; and, as it has been built with a
massy solidity, calculated to resist the inju-
ries of time and neglect, it presents, per-
haps, at this day, one of the most perfect
specimens extant, of the plain durable style
of architecture, which distinguished the
Old Hall House, the residence of the mid-
dling gentry in the reign of James, or
Elizabeth.

The choice of Captain Button's burial-
place is assigned, by tradition, to another
cause than puritanical feeling. On the
death of his favourite charger, he requested
permission, it is stated, from the rector of
Houghton, to inter the animal within the
church -yard, near to his own intended
future place of rest ; but, on being refused,
buried the horse in his orchard, and deter-
mined to repose himself close to the re-
mains of his faithful servant.

BANKES, OF KINGSTON HALL

iLmcagf.

The family of Bankes, now for more than
two hundred years one of the most influen-
tial in the county of Dorset, is deemed by
Fuller to have been of antiquity ;* its ele-
vation is, however, to be traced to the
learned professor of the law.

Sir John Bankes, lord chief justice ot
the common pleas in the timeof Charles I.
This eminent person, the son ot John
Bankes,t a merchant, by his wife Elizabeth
Hassell, was bom towards the close of the
sixteenth century, and admitted a commoner
of Queen's College, Oxford, in 1604. He
retired, however, from the University, with-
out taking a degree, and settled at a very
early age in Gray's Inn, by the society oi
which he was called to the bar, and in a
brief period attained the reputation of a
sound lawyer and able advocate. After
graduating through minor offices, he was
appointed attorney-general in 1634, and in
that capacity appeared for the Crown in the
celebrated cause instituted in the Exchequer
against the patriot Hampden for his refusal
to pay the arbitrary imposition of ship-
money. This cause was argued twelve days
in the Exchequer Chamber before the as-
sembled judges of England, and decided in
favour of the Crown. Sir John Bankes was
soon afterwards (1640) constituted Loud
Chief Justice of the Coiirt of Common
Pleas. Through the subsequent perils that
encompassed his royal master, the chief
instice adhered with unshaken fidelity to
his cause, and attaching himself personally
to the king, followed his majesty to York.
In his absence, Corfe Castle, the place oi
his abode, was invested by the rebels, but
gallantly defended by his heroic wife, and

not surrendered eventually, until betrayed.
The name of this distinguished woman was
Mary Hawtrey, only daughter of Robert
Hawtrey, esq. of Riselip. . . , ,,

The lord chief justice having joined the
king at York in Easter term 1642 Lady
Bankes, with her children and family, re-
tired to Corfe Castle, and remained in peace
there until May, 1643, when the rebels,
commanded by Sir Walter Erie and Sir
Thomas Trenchard, and already in posses-
sion of all the towns on the sea coast, re-

two and three hundred horse and loot but
were forced to retire. On the 23rd of the
succeeding month, however, Sir Walter
Erie, with Captains Sydenham, Jarvis, and
Scott, and five or six hundred men, renewed
the siege, and brought several pieces of
ordnance to bear upon the Castle. Ihey
obliged the soldiers by oath to give no
quarter in case of a resistance, and endea-
voured by all means to corrupt the defend-
ants To render their approach to the walls
more secure, they constructed two engines,
one called the Boar, the other the Sow,
framed of boards lined with wool to deade^n
the shot When the sow moved forward,
the besieged aimed at the legs of the bear-
ers which were not covered, killed one and
compelled the rapid flight of the others.
The boar dared not advance. After the loss
of much time and ammunition, the Earl ot
Warwick sent Sir Walter one hundred and
fifty manners, besides several cartloads ot
petards, grenadoes, &c. for an assault ; *20
were offered to the first man that would scale
the wall, but as this order had no efFect, the
commanders made the men drunk with
strong waters, and thus excited, stormed the
castle on all sides. The besiegers divided
their forces into two parties ; one assaulted
the middle ward, defended by Capt. Lau-
rence, and the greater part of the g-arrison;
the other attacked the upper ward, which
Lady Bankes, her daughters, women, and
five soldiers protected, and, to her eternal
honour, bravely saved it; for by rolling
over stones and hot embers, they repulsed
the assailants, and killed and wounded above
one hundred men. Sir Walter Erie hear-
ing that the king's forces, under the Earl ot
Caernarvon, were advancing, retired in
great haste, to London, and left Sydenham
to bring off the ordnance, ammunition, and
remainder of the soldiers, who retired into
the church, intending to march off in the
night; but, just as supper was set on the
table, an alarm was given that the royal
army approached: whereupon Sydenham
quitted his supper, artillery, and ammu-

weeks' strict siege, Corfe Castle, the key of
Dorsetshire, was, by the resohifioii of Lady
Bankes, and the valour of ('apt. liaiirence
and about eighty soldiers, witii the loss of
only two men, preserved. In the years
1645 and 1G4G it was again blockaded by
the Parliament forces, and at liMigtli be-
trayed by Lieut.-colonel Pitman, an officer
of the garrison. When it was delivered up,
the Commons ordered Corfe Castle to be
blown up with gunpowder, and thus that
ancient and magnidcent fabric was reduced
to a heap of ruins, and remains a lasting
memorial of the destructive wars of the reign
of the unhappy Ciiarles.

from that time until 1831, when, after a
spirited struggle, he was defeated at the
general election by the supporters of the
great measure of parliamentary reform then
pending. Upon tliat occasion the indepen-

Mr. Hope-Vere, who is a deputy lieutenant, succeeded his father in September, 181 1.

Hmeage.

The surname of Vere is of great anti-
quity, and in ancient records was vari-
ously written, de Vere, Veyr, Were, and
Weir. The family had large possessions in
lands in the south of Scotland in very early
times, and was known in history more than
five hundred years ago.

Baltredi's de Vere lived in the reign of

Kiriff Malcolm IV. who succeeded to the
crown of Scotland, anito 1153, and he is wit-
ness to a charter of King William, who
succeeded Malcolm, in 1165. He left issue
two sons,

I. Walter, his heir.

II. David, who is mentioned in a char-
ter hereafter narrated.

Walter de Vere, eldest son of Baltred,
appears to have been a man of rank and
distinction, as well as of landed estate. He
made a donation to the monastery of Kelso
" (pro salute animae sufe, &c.) unius bovatte
terrie in territorio suo de Sproustoun in vice
comitatu de Roxbugh," wliich is confirmed
by Kinff William; Hugo Cancellarius Re-
gis, and David de Vere, brother of the said
Walter, are witnesses. It has no date, but,
as Hugh the chancellor died in 1199, it
must have been in or before that year.

Walter was s. by his son,

Radilphi's, or Ralph de ^'ere, who is
witness in a confirmation by A7h^ William
of a donation to the Abbacy of Cambusken-
neth, wliich also wants a date, but must
have been in or before 1214, in which year

and is witness in a charter of a donation to
the monastery of Kelso, by Henricus de
Sto. Claro, anno 1266. This Thomas and
his father, Kadulphus de Vere, are men-
tioned by the learned antiquary. Sir James
Dalrymple, as progenitors of the Weirs of
Blackwood. He was *. by his son,

RiCAKDUS DE Were, who is mentioned in

fixther Thomas, got a charter from Patrick,

mondstone jacen. in barronia de Lesmaltac/ow
et vice comitatu de Lanark, Sfc, dated in
1404. This Rotaldus was designed by the
title of Blackwood above 360 years ago,
and his posterity have uninterruptedly en-
joyed it ever since. He died in the reign of
King James II. leaving issue a son,

Thomas Were, of Blackwood, of whom
we have nothing remai'kable upon record.
He was father of

Robert Veyr, of Blackwood, who got a
charter of confirmation from Robert, abbot

January, 1526-7. He acquired some other
lands in the barony of Lesmahagow, from
James Wallace, by his resignation, dated
the last day of October, 1530. By the

vast possessions in lands ; and, as patron of
St. Mary's church, of Lesmahagow, gave a
presentation to Sir George Ker, to be chap-
lain there, 7th May, 1539. He died in the

the price thereof, rt«Ho 1564. He lived to a
great age, died in the year 1595, and by the
Eupham Hamilton had two sons,

All the peerage writers, and geiiealogiciil
antiquaries of Scotland, are agreed, that
this ancient family ranks witli the most
eminent in the western districts of that
kingdom. Leaving the douljtCiil autliority
of Buchanan, of Auchmar, who asserts it to
be a younger branch of the proud Earls of
Lennox, and to have had large possessions
on the Endrick, in 1016, it appears from a
charter of Malcolm IV. who died in 1165,
that tlie Dcnnistouns held lands on tlie
Gryfe, in Renfrewshire, in that monarcli's
reign. Here, it would seem, that one
Danziel, or Daniel, probably of Norman
extraction, settled himself, and, calling the
estate Danzielstoun, assumed therefrom
his surname. After passing through various
changes, this 'orthography took its present
shape about the end of the sixteenth cen-
tury. Confining our details rigidly to the
evidence of authentic documents, we de-
duce the genealogy from

Sir Hugh de Danzielstoun, of that Ilk,
who flourished during the fatal wars of the
Scottish succession, and with other patriotic
barons of his country, accorded a reluctant
submission to the victorious Edward, in
1296. He had issue,

John, (Sir) his successor.

Joanna, or Janet, who married Sir

Adam More, of Rowallan, and was

mother of

Elizabeth More, whose marriage
with Kirig Robert II. became
a fruitful ground of controversy
among historians. From this
union, in 1347, sprang the long
line of the Stuart monarchs,
througli whom the Imperial
crown has passed to the reign-
ing dynasty. In reference to
this circumstance, the proud
proverb has been preserved by
the Dennistouns, " Kings came
of us, not we of kings."

Sir Hugh was succeeded by his son.

Sir John de Dan/.u.lstoun, of fliat Ilk,
who, during tlie reign of David tlie Second,
was the constant associate in arms of liis
illustrious father-in-law, tlie Earl of Wig-
ton, and of the l)rav(' Sir I^obcrt Erskine.
Through life, himself and his son Sir Robert
maintained a devoted loyalty, with a steadi-
ness as exemplary as it was rare, in an age
when the hanglity nobles of Scotland often
sought to extend tiieir individual influence
by trampling on the prerogatives of the
crown. Offices of high trust were con-
ferred upon him, and the acce!<sion of his
relation, Robert the Second, was followed
by new honours, and by grants of many
splendid baronies in various counties. He
was for many years High Slieriff of Dun-
bartonshire, and Governor of Dunharton
Castle, the strongest fortress in the king-
dom, and was one of the lords of parlia-
ment who concurred in the settlement of
the crown upon the descendants of his
niece Elizabeth More. He married Marj',
daughter of Malcolm, first earl ofWigton,
who is lineally represented by the heir of
this marriage, and had five sons and a
daughter, viz.

I. Robert, his heir.

II. Walter, (Mr.) a bold and turbulent
churchman. On the death of his
elder brother, in 1399, he asserted a
right to the castle of Dunbarton, as
an appendage of his family, and.
assembling the numerous vassals of
his house, seized and defended the
fortress. Robert the Third, deeming
" discretion a victor's better part,"
offered his rebellious relative the
See of St. Andrew's, as a bribe for
the surrender of the castle. The
terms were accepted, and the bishop
was duly inducted; but contumacious
to the last, he held out the castle to
his death, in 1402.

III. William, (Sir) of Colgrain.

IV. Hugh, > who had various grants

V. Malcolm, i of land from Robert the
Second, and Robert the Third.

I. Janet, married to her cousin, Sir
Adam More, of Rowallan — ancestor,
through the female line, of the Mar-
quess of Hastings. {See Burke's
Peerage, Countess of Loudoun.)
The eldest son and heir,

Sir Robert de Danzielstoi'n, of that
Ilk, was one of the youths selected from
the chief families in Scotland in 1357, as
hostages for the ransom of Kiiifi David
the Second; and, in 1370, was commissioner
for a treaty of peace with England. Idcn-

tilled witli his (lisfiiioiiislied father in loy-
alty and valour, lie enjoyed a like portion
of royal favour, and succeeded hira in the
liip:h trusts of Sheriff of the county, and
Keeper of tlie Castle of Dunbarton,'Avhich
he heUl to his death. Having no son, his
daughters divided his noble baronies of
Danzielstoun, Finlaystoun, and Stainly, in
Renfrewshire ; Kilmaronock, in Lennox ;
Mauldisley, Law, Kilcadzow, and Trep-
wood, in Lanarksliire ; Glencairn, in Dum-
friesshire ; Blackburn and Torbain. in Lin-
lithgowshire ; and CoUington and Kedhall,
county of Edinburgh. Of these ladies,

I. Margaret, married Sir William de
Cunuingharae, of Kilmaurs, and
hence sprang the earls of Glencairn.

II. Elizabeth, married Sir Robert
Maxwell, of Calderwood ; and from
her sprang tlie baronets of Calder-
wood and Pollock, and the earls of
Farnham.

After the decease of Sir Robert, the male
line of the family was carried on by his
brother.

Sir William de Danzielstoin, of Col-
grain, in the county of Dunbarton, which
estate, and thatof Camis Eskau, in the same
shire, he acquired before 1377, and liad
several other grants from tlie crown. From
these we learn that he held preferment in
the household of Robert III. and of that
monarch's eldest son, the unfortunate Earl
of Carrick, and on his death, in 1393, his
widow, the Lady Marjory, had a pension
from the king's chamberlain. He seems to
have been s. by his son,

de Danzielstoun, of Colgrain, who

was a minor in 1399, and d. before 1450,
leaving, by his wife, Margaret, a son and
successor,

W^iLLiAM DE Danzielstoun, of Colgrain,
who appears to have left two sons, Robert,
the younger, from whom descended the
Dennistouns, of Dalnair and Tullicliawen,
now extinct ; and his heir,

Charles Danzielstoun, of Colgrain, who
d. seised in Auchindennan and Cameron,
before 1481, and was *. by his son,

Robert Danzielstoun, of Colgrain, who
wedded Elizabeth, daughter of .John Napier,
of Merchiston, ancestor of the Lords Na-
pier, and had two sons and a daughter, viz.
Patrick, his heir; Andrew, from whom
sprang tlie Dennistouns of Ferrylands and
Auchendenanrie, now extinct, and .Janet, the
wife of .John Darleith, of that Ilk. The
elder son,

Patrick Danzielstoun, of Colgrain, ?».
thrice; his first wife was Giles Colquhoun ;
the second, Giles, daugliter of Scmpill, of
Fulwood ; the third, Matilda, daughter of
Sir Humphrey Cunninghame, of Glengar-
nok. His son and heir,

Robert Danzielstoun, of Colgrain, as-
sociated himself with William, fourth earl
of Glencairn, in his machinations and cor-
respondence with Henry VITI. of England.
For this he was attainted ; but in 1546 had
a remission, under the Great Seal, for all
treasons and crimes committed by him, along
with the Earl. Tlie same active and turbu-
lent spirit led him afterwards to take part
in the raids tlien frequent amongst the bor-
der clans of the Highlands, in which he
seems to have been both an actor and a.
sufferer. His wife was Katharine, dau. of
David Semple, of Noblestoun, by Marion,
daugliter of Sir William Edmonston, of
Duntreath. They left, with other issue,

I. Robert, heir.

II. John, living in 1560, was father, by
his wife, Euphemia Bontyue, of

Walter Danzielstoun, who, like
his predecessor, resided at Col-
grain. He d. in 1618, leaving,
with several younger children,
John Dennistoun, who, by
Margaret, daughter and
eventual heiress of the an-
cient family of Spreull, of
Dalchurne, had two sons,

1. Mr. Archibald.

2. Mr. William, of Ferry-
lands, episcopal minis-
ter of Glassford. This
gentleman was deposed
at the Revolution for
nonconformity.

The elder son,
Mr. Archibald Dennistoun,
of Dalchurne, Avas minister
of Campsie, and lost his liv-
ing by his devotion to epis-
copacy. He m. first, Jane,
daugliter of HumphryNoble,
of Farme and Ardardan, and
secondly, Katharine, dau. of
James Stirling, of Auchyle :
by the former he had

1. William, of whom in
the sequel as heir male
of the family, and hus-
band of the Heiress of
Colgrain.

2. Archibald.
The son and heir,

Robert Danzielstoun, of Colgrain, m.
Margaret, daughter of John Hamilton, of
Ferguslie, and among other children, who
left no issue, had Elizabeth, the wife of John
Colquhoun, of Camstraddan ; Catlierine m.

ing a person of facile and extravagant dis-
position, impaired and involved the family

son and lioir,

Wm.ti-k T)i-.\M.sTOt!N, of Coli^raiii, in
consc'(|ni'ntc of these involvnients, was ob-
liged to alienate Auchindennan, Cameron,
and otlier portions of the estate. He m.
first, Sarali, (lan<;litcr of Sir Patrick Hous-
ton, of Houston, by tlie Lady .Janet Cun-
ninglianie ; and secondly, (irace, daughter
of Jolin Brisbane, of Brisbane ; by tlie
former lie had James, who d. unm. and an
elder son, his successor,

John Dennistoiin, of Cole^rain, who,
during the wars of the Commonwealth, con-
tinued a zealous and steady adherent of the
royal cause, and ultimately crowned his ex-
ertions by the sa<;rifice of his life. The last
effort of the cavaliers in Scotland was made
under the Earl of Glencairne, who was con-
stituted commander-in-chief by Charles H.
in 1553. By him the following commission
was given to Colgrain : —

"Whereas I, .William, Earl of Glen-
cairne, by vertue of his Ma. commission,
and empouered to levie horse and foote
w ilhin the kingdom of Scotland for his Ma.
service ; and I, being weell assured of the
loyaltie, courage, and guid afl'ectione of
John Dennistoun, of Cogrene, does heirby
warrande and appointe him to levie the
third man of all the fencible persons within
the Lennox, and to reduce them in foot com-
panies, and to place officars over them, and
to comande the foresaid foote, and to bringe
them up to joyne with his Majesties forces
HOW on foot: for the which this sail be unto
him ane sufficiand warrand. Given under
ray hand the 20th day of November, 1653.

" Glencairne."

After a short but romantic campaign, the
little army thus assembled was disbanded in
the next autumn, when John Dennistoun
was specially included in the treaty of sur-
render, and his real and personal estates
w^ere exempted from attainder. This bene-
fit he did not long enjoy, but died the ensu-
ing year, after lingering sufferings from a
wound received in the Highland expedition.
He m. Jean, daughter of William Semple,
of Fulwood, and had three daughters, viz.

I. Margaret, who succeeded to the es-
tates in virtue of an entail made by
her father, under condition of marry-
ing the HEIR male of the family.

II. Jean.

III. Janet, m. William Semple, of Ful-
wood.

On the decease of Col. Dennistoun, the
male representation devolved upon the elder
son and heir of Mr. Archibald Dennistoun,
of Dalchurne, minister of Campsic, (whose
line we have traced).

Wii.i.iwi UENMSTorN, wiio, iiiidi r tlie
settlement of Col. Dc^nnistoun, became the
husband of his eldest daughter, MaH(;aret,
Iniicss of Co/i/niiii. Small, however, was
the heritage thus re-united to the; rejjresen-
tation of this ancient house. The embar-
rassments which liad gradually increased
during the civil wars, in which the laird was
on th(! losing side, were I'ataliy augmented
l)y the selfish mismanagement during the
minority of the lieiress: a long life of pru-
dent economy was inadecpiate to rcftrieve
the estate, and William's patrimony of Dal-
churne was entirely lost. In one respect
this was fortunate, as it perhaps prevented
his taking the active part in politics which
his Jacobite zeal might in other circum-
stances have suggested. Of sixteen chil-
dren, one only survived their parents, viz.

JoHNDE\MSTorN,of Colgrain, who freed
the pro])erty from debt, and by Jane, heiress
of Moses Buchanan, of Glins, had, beside
several daughters,

James Dennistoi'N, of Colgrain. Tin's

Edinburgh, living in the beginning of the
seventeenth century, was father of

Robert Purves, of Abbey Hill, burgess
of Edinburgh, who wedded Anne Douglas,
and left at his decease in 1655, with a daugh-
ter, Sybilla, a son and successor,

William Purves, of Abbey Hill, who was
bred to the Scottish bar. Before the usur-
pation he held an office in the Court of Ses-
sion, and was one of the clerks to the com-
mittees of parliament ; but taking an active
part in favour of King Charles during the
civil wars, suffered severely both in person
and estate. For several years he was com-
pelled to conceal himself, and in 1656, when
peace was restored under the Protector, he
accepted, through necessity, a small office
in the Exchequer. In this situation, al-
though he never swerved from his fidelity
as a public officer, he availed himself of the
opportunity he had of rendering service to
the persecuted royalists. After the Resto-
ration, he was appointed solicitor - general
for Scotland, knighted, and eventually, in
1665, created a Baronet. Sir William mar-
ried Marjory, daugliter of Robert Fleming,
of Restalrig, and had four sons, viz.

appointed his father's successor as
solicitor-general for Scotland. He
was grandfather of

ronet, who m. Lady Anne Hume-
Campbell, eldest daughter of
Alexander, second Earl of
Marchmont, and left a son and
successor.

* The followinti^ is a recorded account of this
gentleman's ba])tism : —

On the 12tb July, 1744, was christened, at
Whittington, near Chesterfield, Thomas Ashton
Bulkeley, the following persons, by their repre-
sentatives standing sponsors,

Edward Downs, esq. of Worth, in Cheshire,

the infant's great-gieat-great-^reAt uncle.
Mr. Asbton, Blaster of Jesus College, Cam-
bridge, and his brother, Mr. Joseph Ashton,
of Surrey-street, in the Strand, the infant's
great-great -great uncles.
INIrs. Elizabeth Wood, of Bamsley, in York-
shire, the infant's great-great-great - gre&t
aunt.
Mrs. Jane Wainwright, of Middlewood Hall,
in Yorkshire, the infant's greaf-great-grand-
mother.
Mrs. Dorothy Green, of the same place, the
infant's great grandmother.
The infant has a mother, grandmother, great
grandmother, and great-great grandmother now
living, and Mrs. Wainwright, the great - great
grandmother, who is now eighty -nine, although
she cannot sav, " Rise up, daughter, and go to
thy daughter, for thy daughter's daughter has a
daughter ;" she can say, what is in equal degree
to it, " Rise up, daughter, &c. thy daughter's
daughter has a son." Ihe infant, hy the mother's
side, is lineally descended from Koutnx Ashton,
esq. of Eradway, in Derbyshire, and Dorothy, his
wife, who were the said Mrs. Wainwrights, Dr.
Ashton and Mr. Joseph Ashton's father and mo-
ther, and of whom some remarkable circumstances
may be related, viz.

'i'hat during their whole lives they were emi-
nent for all Christian virtues, that they never had
more than twelve children, eight sons and four
daughters, who were all nursed by her, and lived
to be men and women, that they were as good pa-
rents in every resjiect to all their children, with-
out partiality to any of them, as ever children
were blessed with. That they lived in the same
house at Biiadwav above fifty years, and they had
near twenty in family great part of the time. No
person whatever died in the house during the first
fifty years, thev lived together sixty-four years
after their marriage, but it must be owned that
they were tied together with a double knot, for
being married in Oliver's time, the ceremony was
twice performed, once by a justice of the peace,
according to tlie law of that time, and again by a
clergyman according to the rites of the Cliurch
of England, of which they were both worthy mem-
bers. V

lant defence of Lathom, against the parlia-

mentarians, and, in consequence, had his
estate sequestered. His sufl'erings and
services were, liovvever, highly appreciated
by his royal master, and the name of his
son, William Ifarington, appears among
those who wvvr, to have been rewarded with
tlie knighthood of the royal oak, had that
order been established. This not(;d cavalier

Uiiuage.

Contemporaneous with those potent feudal
lords, there resided in the city of Hereford,
in tlie time of Henry H. A.D. 1170,

Roger Hereford, " a famous philoso-
plicr (says the same manuscript), who
published, during tlie period that Henry of
Hereford, and Mabel, his brother, enjoyed
the county of Hereford, the books quoted
by John Pits.* This Roger," the philoso-
pher, " was born on the borders of AVales,
and was probably a student of Cambridge,
as most part of his works were, it is re-
ported, preserved a long lime there. He
was very much esteemed by the great men
of his time, as well for his excellent quali-
ties, as for the extraordinariness of his
progress in all sorts of learning. He was
of a sharp wit ; and was so great a lover of
the sciences, that if one ask'd him, wch
were the things, whereof the desire is never
satisfy'd in never so great plenty, he would
answer, not as a covetous man, that they
were riches, but as a philosopher, that it
was learning,-. He never lost a moment,
but always spent in study all the time con d
be spar'd from his employments, to wcli his
was obliged to attend. His works were—
A Book of Judiciary Astrology, Quoniam
Rpgulas artis Astronomitp ; of the Theory
of Planets ; Divers Astronomers, accord-
ing to the different manuscripts of the
Public Library at Oxford ; a Book of Col-
lections of the Years of Planets ; a Book of
the setting and rising of Constellations ; a
Book of the Horizon and the Circle ; a
Book of Metals."

This eminent man flourished about the
year 1170, in the reign of the second Henry,
and sixteen years after the death of Roger,

to) \%

The family of Hereford, one of very
great antiquity, derived its surname, accord-
ing to an old manuscript, from " the name
of a city on the borders of tlie principality
of Wales, formerly very well fortify 'd, and
the ordinary residence of the ancient earls
of Hereford. The ancestors of the family
liv'd there a long while, to secure them-
selves from the incursions of ye people of
that country, till at last that nation, falling
under the government of the English, in the
time of Edward, the first, and the ancient
quarrels between the two nations being at
an end, they came and liv'd in a land (aula)
call'd Suftou Hall, or Sufton Castle, under
the Lord Mordiford, three miles from Here-
ford, towards the south ; and their posterity
remain there to this day, and are lords
thereof, as of many other inheritances and
lands situated in the province."

Of the elder branch were the earls of
Hereford, who were likewise high consta-
bles of England. Their line terminated in
heiresses, daughters of Milo de Gloucester,
earl of Hereford, the eldest of whom, Mar-
gery, married Humphrey de Bohun ; and
her son, Humphrey de Bohun, became earl
of Hereford, and constable of England.

* .Tchn Pits,' an Englishman, doctor of divir.ity
at Liverdun, in Lorrain, author of an Historical
Account of England, in which, vol. i. p. 237,
Roger Hereford's works are (according to the
above expression) quoted.

344

HEREFORD, OF SUFTON COURT.

Earl or Hereford, one of the brothers of
tilt' heiresses who divided tlie great estates
of these earls ; so that he seems to have been
born at the close of Henry the First's time.
He left at his decease a son,

Henry de Hereford, of whom there is
an entry in the Pipe Roll, in the eighth of
John, (inno 1201, " that Master Henry of
Hereford owes a palfrey, for a fief of the
king, to William of Braieuse, for the land
of Witton." This appears to have been the
first estate in the family. Henry had two
sons,

Roger, his successor.
Thomas, who was sheriff of the county
of Hereford, in the 7th of Henry
IH. ; for in that year we find him
receiving an order from the Crown
to deliver up, in his official capacity,
up to William Canteloup, the city of
Pembridge, with every thing thereto
belonging, of which the said William
was appointed governor during plea-
sure.
Roger de Hereford, the elder son, held
lands in Breinton, anno 1222, under the
dean and cliapter of Hereford : he left a son
and heir,

Henry de Hereford,* who, being a
minor, was placed under the care of Thomas
Dansey, in the 7th of Henry IH. He was
lord of the manors of Sufton and Mordiford,
in which he was s. at his decease, in 1304,
by his son,

John de Hereford, lord of the manors
of Sufton and Mordiford, born in 1272, who,
by his wife, Matilda, had (with probably
other) issue,

Henry (Sir) his heir.
John, successor to his elder brother.
Nicholas, heir to his nephew, Thomas,
the son of John.
By the inquisition made at Hereford, 10th
year of Edward III. after the decease of
this John de Hereford, it appears that, with
sundry other lands, he held in quality of
immediate feudatory to the king, the land
of Mordiford, in the county of Hereford,
with the homage of a pair of gilt spurs for
all services. He died in the 64th year of
his age, and was s. by his eldest son.

Sir Henry de Hereford, of Sufton and
Mordiford, who, embracing the profession
of arms, distinguished himself in the Scottish
wars, and received the honour of knighthood
from King Edward HI. with a general pai--
don for all offences committed by him
against the state, f In 1362, he was present

* Contemponineous with this Henry, were
Elias de IliuKronD, recorder of the Royal Ex-
rhequer, and William de Hkrefohd, sheriff of
London, in the 16th of Edward I.

t EDWAiio, by the grace of God, King of Eng-

in the parliament held at Westminster, as
one of the representatives of the county of
Hereford ; and the same year he was a
second time summoned to the great parlia-
ment which was to be held at the same
place. He died unmarried, in 1361, and
was s. by his brother,

John de Hereford, of Sufton and Mor-
diford, b. in 1321, in. Margaret, and had an
only child, Thomas, his successor, at his
decease, in 1387. (His wife outlived him,
and her son,)

Thomas de Hereford, of Sufton and
Mordiford, b. 1365, and dying, in 1390,
without issue, was s. by his uncle,

Nicholas de Hereford, of Sufton and
Mordiford, b. in 1330, m. and had two sons,
viz.

Roger, his heir.

John, of Bodenham, married, but his
wife's name is unknown.
After the decease of his wife, this gentleman
became a priest, and was a D.D. and fellow
of Queen's College. Of him the following
details are given in the manuscript to which
we have before referred: — "Nicholas de
Hereford, born in 1330, his father being
already old, twenty-six years after his eldest
brother Henry, and nine years after his
brother John, married a very young woman,
and had two children, Roger and John. It
appears that he took orders, his wife being
dead ; and he seems to be, as far as one can
conjecture, the same as Nicholas Hereford,
Professor of Divinity, and of the Society of
Queen's College at Oxford. For the name
and surname, and age, and conformity of
the time, all agree in proving it. In 1381,
Nicholas Hereford and Philip Repingdone,
prebendary of Leicester, since chancellour of
the University of Oxford, bishop of Lincoln,
and cardinal, were accused of heresie, with
many other divines of the said University,
and of favouring and keeping up Wicliff's
doctrine." This affair caused considerable
agitation amongst the clergy ; and there is
a Protestation of Innocence and Submission
to the Church, upon vellum, from Hereford
and Repingdone, preserved in the Bodleian

land, Lord of Ireland, and Duke of Guesenne, to
all Lis Bailiffs and Trustees who sliall see these
l)resent letters, sends greeting. Know ye, that
of our special grace, and that for the good services
that Henry of Hereford has done us in the Scotch
war, we have granted him the pardon of all man-
slaughter, felonies, roberies, thefts, and transgres-
sions whatsoever he Ii:is committed, in our king-
dom, before tlie 10th of July last, as well to the
prejudice of the immunities granted by our father,
Edward, heretofore king of England, as by us,
for which he was called up, &c....and we grant
him our Royal protf^ction.... Witness myself, at
Berwick, the 9th of October, in the 9th year of
our reign.

Wales, they adopted, with Welch con-

sometimes written Lloyd -Hosindale, and
sometimes Rosindale-Llo^d. The ori<;inal
House of Aston deduced lineally from
ElMON Fai-.ll, lord of Cynlleth and Moch-

Henry Rosindale, of Rosindale, near
Clithero, in the county of Lancaster, served
under Henry de Lacy, earl of Lincoln, who
had a ^rant of the lordship of Denbigh, and
Avho, in the IGth year of Edward the First's
reign, granted to the said Henry Rosindale
certain lands, parcel of the said lordship, on
condition that he and his heirs should serve
with a certain number of liorsemen, for a
period in the said grant specified, in the
castle of Denbigh, in all wars that sliould
occur between the King of England and the
Prince of Wales, at his own charges and

Humphrey Lloyd, the cele-
brated antiquary and his-
torian. This eminent man
was born at Denbigh, but
in what house of learning
at Oxford he first applied
himself to academic studies,
Anthony Wood is unable
to determine ; " sure it is
(saith he), that after he had
taken the degree of bache-
lor of arts, which was in
1547, 1 find him by the name
of Humphrey Lloyd to be a
commoner in Brazennose
College, and in the year
1551 to proceed in arts as
a member of that house, at
which time, it seems, he
studied physic, being then
ripe in years ; afterwards
retiring to his own country
he lived mostly within the
walls of Denbigh Castle,
practised his faculty, and
sometimes that of music for
diversion sake, being then
esteemed a well-bred gen-
tleman. He was a person
of great eloquence, an ex-
cellent rhetorician, a sound
philosopher, a most noted
antiquary, and of great skill
and knowledge in Britisli
affairs." Camden styles him

" a learned Briton, (or
knowledge of antiquities
reputed by our countrymen
to carry, after a sort, all
the credit and renown."
Humphrey Lloyd was au-
thor of many works illus-
trative of British history ;
amongst others, he wrote
De Moria Druidum insula
Antiquati suae restituta 1568;
Chronicon Walliae ; and
the History of Cambria. He
represented his native city
some years in parliament,
and died about the year
1570, and was buried in the

That the family of Bateman now imme-

He died in 1630, and was s. by his elder

Sir William Brockman, knt. of Beach-
borough. This gentleman, amongst the
most devoted adherents of Kiny Charles I.
distinguished himself by a courageous de-
fence of tlie town of Maidstone against Fair-
fax and a considerable body of the parlia-
ment's forces. He was appointed in the
eighteenth of his majesty's reign, by the
king, then in arms at Oxford, sheriff of Kent,
but was superseded in his office by the par-
liament, and Sir John Honeywood consti-
tuted sheriff in his stead. The defence of
Maidstone occurred in 1648, when Fairfax,
with the elite of his division, marched upon
that place, at the time garrisoned by pro-
bably a thousand royalist horse and foot,
under the command of Sir John Mayney.
The republican general passing the river at
Farleigh Bridge, which had been but feebly
guarded, attacked the town with a corps of
ten thousand men at least ; carrying without
difficulty some slight fortifications which
were thrown up at the entrance. The as-
sault, about seven o'clock in the evening,
became general, and the fighting fierce and
sanguinary in every street, which with the
houses were lined by the royalists, whose
strength had been augmented by Sir Wil-
liam Brockman, who brought in a rein-
forcement of eight hundred men during the
preliminary skirmishing. The resistance of
the townsmen was so determined and gal-
lant, that Fairfax had literally to contend
for every inch of ground ; the conflict had
already been prolonged to midnight, when
the royalists, overpowered by numbers,
were driven into the church-yard, and thence
taking shelter in tlie church, continued to
resist with unabated ardour, until eventually
reduced to surrender upon conditions se-
curing their personal safety. Few actions
displayed more of that chivalric courage
and devoted resolve which characterized the
adherents of the king during the civil wars
than this. Lord Clarendon terms it " a
sharp encounter very bravely fought with
the general's whole strength." Sir William

and from Iiis second son, tlie Scotts of

SiNTON.

William Scott, first Laird of Harden,
was the second son of the Laird of Sinton.
He was a fierce and gallant warrior, and
was commonly called " Willy with the
Boltfoot." He m. Akkr, dan. of the Laird
of Ferniehirst, and was s. hy his son,

Walter Scott, second Laird of Harden,
surnamed " Anld Wat." Of this chief, liis
illustrious descendant, SlK Waltkr Scott,
thus speaks.* " We may form some idea
of the style of life maintained hy the border
warriors, from the anecdotes, lianded down
by tradition, concerning Walter Scott of
Harden, who flourished towards the middle
of the sixteenth century. This ancient laird
was a renowned freebooter, and used to ride
witli a numerous band of followers. The
spoil, which they carried off from England,
or from their neighbours, was concealed in
a deep and impervious glen, on the brink
of which the Old Tower of Harden was
situated. From thence the cattle were
brought out, one by one, as they were
wanted, to supply the rude and plentiful
table of the laird. When the last bullock
was killed and devoured, it was the lady's
custom to place on the table a dish, which,
on being uncovered, was found to contain a
pair of clean spurs ; a liint to the riders,
that they must shift for their next meal.
Upon one occasion, when the village herd
was driving out the cattle to pasture, the
old laird heard him call loudly to drive out
Harden s cow. ' Hardeii's cow ! ' echoed
the affronted chief, ' Is it come to that pass ? "
by my faith they shall sune say Harden's
hye (cows).' Accordingly, he sounded his
bugle, mounted his horse, set out with his
followers, and returned next day with ' a
bow of kye, and a bassen'd (brindled) btill.'
On his return with this gallant prey, he
passed a very large hay-stack. It occurred
to the provident laird, that this would be
extremely convenient to fodder his new
stock of cattle ; but as no means of trans-
porting it occurred, he was fain to take
leave of it with this apostrophe, now pro-
verbial : ' By my soul, had ye but four feet,
ye should not stand lang there.' " The laird
m. Mary Scott, celebrated in song by the
title of the Flower of Yarrow. By their
marriage contract, the father-in-law, Philip
Scott, of Dryhope, was to find Harden 'in
horse meat, and man's meat, at his Tower
of Dryhope, for a year and a day ; but five
barons pledge themselves, that, at the ex-
piry of tliat period, the son-in-law should
remove, without attempting to continue in
possession by force ! A notary public signed
for all the parties to the deed, none of wliom

Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border.

could write their names. The original is
still in tlie charter room of the |)resent Mr.
Scott, of Harden. By the Flower of Yar-
row, the Laird of Harden had, with daugh-
ters, four sons, namely,

William (Sir), his heir.
Walter, who m. a daughter of John
Hay, of Haystoun, in Peebles. This
gentleman was killed in a fray, at a
fishing, by one of the Scotts of Gil-
manscleugh ; his brothers flew in
arms ; but the old laird secured them
in the dungeon of his Tower, hurried
to Edinburgh, stated the crime, and
obtained a gift of the land of the
offenders from the Crown. He re-
turned to Harden with equal speed,
released his sons, and shewed them
the charter. " To horse, lads ! " cried
the savage warrior, " and let us take
possession ! the lands of Gilmans-
cleugh are well worth a dead son."
The property, thus obtained, con-
tinued in the family till the begin-
ning of the last century, when it was
sold by John Scott, of Harden, to
Anne, Duchess of Buccleuch.
Hugh, from whom the Scotts of Gala.
Francis, ancestor of the Scotts noAV of

Harden wedded, secondly, Margaret, daugh-
ter of Edgar, of Wedderlie, and relict of
William Spotswood, of that Ilk, by whom
he had a daughter, Margaret, m. first, to
David Pringle, the younger, of Gallasheils,
and, secondly, to Sir William Macdougall,
of Mackerston. He was s. at his decease
in 1629, by his eldest son.

Sir William Scott, third Laird of Har-
den, who enjoyed, in a high degree, the
favour of A'jnry James VI. This chief being
made prisoner by Sir Gideon Murray, of
Elibank, in a bloody border feud, was con-
demned to lose his head, or to marry Agnes,
a daughter of his captor, known by the des-
criptive appellation of " Muckle-mouthed
Meg." To the latter alternative he con-
sented, but not before he had ascended the
scaffold ; he lived with the lady, however,
long and happily, and had by her eight
children, namely,

I. William (Sir), his successor.

II. Gideon (Sir), m. Margaret, daugh-
ter of Sir Thomas Hamilton, of Pres-
ton, and dying in 1G72, left issue,

wedded, in his fourteenth year,
at Weniyss Castle, 9th February,
1659, Mary, Countess of Bic-
CLEUCH, then eleven years of
age, and one of the greatest
heiresses in Scotland. This af-
fair made considerable noise,
and became matter of discussion

BETHUNE, OF BALFOUR.

BETHUNE, GILBERT, esq. of Balfour, in the county of Fife, h. in 1765, suc-
ceeded his brother, in 1798. This g-entleman, formerly in the army, and afterwards
lieutenant-colonel of the Fifeshire Fencible Corps of Infantry, is a magistrate and
deputy-lieutenant for Fifeshire.

Hincngr.

originally from France, in some of the later
ages ; but the cause or period of their ad-
vent has not been yet determined with cer-
tainty.

Mr. Peter Victor Cayer, author of the
Funeral Panegyrick on James Bethune,
Archbishop of Glasgow, nephew of the
seventh laird of Balfour, who died in 1603,
tells us that, amongst other considerable
gentlemen of quality who came to Scotland
in 1449, in tlie retinue of Mary, princess of
Gueldres, then married to James the Second,
was one Monsieur de Bethune, for whom
the king conceived a singular partiality,
The Scotch historians and genealogists all and, to engage him to live in Scotland,
agree, that the BE'ruNES of Scotland came gave him in marriage the daughter and sole

BHTHIINE, OF BALFOUR.

377

heiress of the baron of Balfour, in Fife,
which gave rise to the family of Uktiiune-
Uau-oiik, and the Bkthuni-.s of Scotland.

This indefinite and uncircumstantiated
account. Monsieur dv. Chesne, author of the
Genealogy of the House of Bethune, in
France, illustrates, by endeavouring to de-
termine the arms and person of this Mon-
sieur de Bethune, who had the good fortune
to gain the favour of the king, and marry
the heiress of Balfour. From a great many
probabilities and conjectures. Monsieur de
Chesne concludes that it was James (Jaco-
tine) de Bethune, fourth son of John de
JJethune, lord of Bare, Ike. and of Isabella
d'Estouteville, his wife, and younger brother
of Robert de Betluine, lord of Bare, &c.
whose lineal descendant is the present duke
of Sully, in France.

This conjecture of Mr. Cayer, though
sufficiently plausible, is not founded upon
solid proof. None of our ancient histo-
rians mention any of the name of Bethune
in the Princess of Gueldre's retinue ; and as
to Monsieur deChesne's suppositions, though
Jacotine de Bethune lived at the time men-
tioned, there is not the least evidence of his
ever being in Scotland,

Enguerran de Moustrelet, a contempo-
rary writer, who speaks at large of John de
Jiethune, and others of his kindred, makes
no mention of the arrival of Jacotine de Be-
thune, nor of his ever leaving the Low
Countries.

However well disposed Mr. Cayer and
Monsieur de Chesne might be to do justice
to the House of Bethune -Balfour, it is
reasonable to conclude that neither of them
were sufficiently acquainted with the subject
tliey had chosen to treat upon. There can
be no doubt that the family of Bethune,
Beton, or Beaton, in which different ways
the name is found to be spelt in various
records, was of considerable note in Scot-
land many generations before it became
united with that of Balfoi'R, and the
union with that family happened long before
the Princess of Gueldres or Jacotine de
Bethune were born. Bishop Leslie, and
other Scotch historians, state that the
Bethunes came from France into Scotland
in the time of Kinff Malcolm t/ie Third, who
began to reign 1057, and died 109.3. We
know not now upon what grounds these
statements are founded ; and at this distance
of time, when most of the old family papers
are lost or destroyed, we must be contented
with whatever evidence can be now obtained
of these early transactions. About the period
above quoted, it was customary for gentle-
men to give their writs and securities, in
presence of some of their neighbours, whose
?iames were accordingly inserted as wit-
nesses, in all their grants and charters.

In the reign of William (who succeeded

to the crown in 1165, only seventy-five
years after the death of Malcolm IH.)
RoBEiiTUs DE Bethune is witness to a char-
ter of Rogerus de Quincey, Earl of Wigton,
to Seyerusde Seton, of an annuity out of the
Miln and Miln lands of Tranent.

David de Betvn, and Joannes de Betun,
are witnesses to a royal charter by Alex-
ander II. (who began his reign 1214, and
(/. 1249) to the abbey of Aberbrothick " de
Terris, in territorio de Kernuiir, in the
county of Angus." It was in that (;ounty the
family of the Bethunes was then most con-
siderable. The chief of them was the Laird
of Westhall, of whom the rest are descen-
ded. Again, in that neighbourhood we find
in the beginning of the reign of Alexander
HI. about 1250, Dominus David de Betun
and Robertus de Betun, are with several
other honourable gentlemen, witnesses to a
charter of Christiana de Valoines, Lady
Panmure, to John Lydell, of the lands of
Balbanin, and Panlathine. But a stronger
evidence of the high station of the family of
Betune in those early times, is that both
Mr. Prynne and Mr. Rymer mention Ro-
bert DE Betune as swearing fealty to, and
being present with Edward I. King of En-
gland, at the discussion of the pleas for the
crown of Scotland, betwixt John Baliol and
Robert Bruce, which is confirmed beyond
all doubt, by some of the seals, yet pre-
served, that are appended to Khig Edward's
decision, 1292, amongst which is sigillum
Roberti de Betune de Scotia, which is a
fesse, and on a chief a file of three pendants,

David de Betun, (Miles) and Alexander
DE Betun, were at the parliament of Cam-
bus-kenneth, 1314 ; and, to the act of for-
feiture passed in that parliament, is appended
one of their seals, which is the same coat of
arms that is upon the forementioned seal of
Robert de Betune. Alexander, continuing
loyal to the royal family of Bruce, was
knighted for his valour, and is mentioned,
amongst other great men, by Hector Bruce,
as one of the chiefs who were killed in the
great battle of Dupplin, 12th August, 13.32.

BETHUNE, OF BALFOUR.

perty of Balfour, in Fife, on the death, is-
sueless, of his uncle, and was tlie first laird
of Balfour, of the name of Bethune. The
Bethune and Balfour properties being uni-
ted in John Bethune, he quartered the arms
of Balfour with those of Bethune. The arms
of Bethune, w hich John bore, were argent,
the fesse (common to all the Bethune
family), betwixt three maselis, or ; those of
Balfour were argent a cheveron, sable,
charged with an otter's head, erased, of the
first ; which armorial blazoning, with the
motto " Debonnaire," and two otters proper
for supporters, the family of Bethune of
Balfour have preserved ever since. John
Betune acquired from Duncan M'DufF,Earl
of Fife, the lands of Holkettle, the king's
charter of confirmation of the Earl of Fife's
disposition is still extant ; and some time
after that earl's death, which happened in
15. ., John got, by a charter, from Isabella,
Countess of Fife, Earl Duncan's daughter,
which is yet preserved, the lands of Solly-
bicks " pro bono et fideli servitio." He vi.
Katharine Stewart, daughter of the laird of
Innermay, whose original sasine of life-rent,
anno 1386, is still extant, and was s, by
his son,

John Betune, the second laird of Bal-
four, who m. the daughter of Stewart, of
Rosaith. There is still existing a service
relating to him. This John, it is under-
stood, built the east part of the present
house of Balfour. His so n,

Archibald Betune, became the third
laird. His charter from Duke Murdoch,
the governor of Scotland, dated 1421, is yet
preserved, wherein he is designed " dilecto
nostro consanguineo Archibaldo Betoun,"
for he was related to the royal family both
by liis mother Rosaith's daughter, and by

to the laird of Keir, and got "in tocher"
with her the eightli part of the lands of
Kennoway, which was the beginning of the
Bethune interest in that barony, an inte-
rest the family possesses at this day. The
papers relating to John Betune are lost,
but he is mentioned as witness in several
writs of the neighbourhood that may be
yet seen. He was s. by his son,

John Betune, the fifth laird, who, mar-

five daughters,

estate.

II. David, who was comptroller and
the treasurer to Kitiq James IV.
and the founder of the family of
Betune of Creich, which for many

generations made a good figure in
Scotland. A daughter of this David
was Mary Bethune, one of the four
Maries, (celebrated in an old song,*
published in the " Border Min-
strelsy," and supposed to be sung by
Mary Fleming at the day of her
death), who were maids of honour to
Queen Mary. She »h. Lord Viscount

VI. James, who was abbot of Dunferm-
line, Kelwining, and Aberbrothwick,
then archbishop of Glasgow, and af-
terwards archbishop of St. Andrew's,
and chancellor of Scotland. James
was in high estimation as a wise and
good man. He began the new col-
lege at St. Andrew's, and executed
many useful public works, such as
Bridges, &c. the benefit of which is
felt at this day. James bore his
patrimonial arms of Bethuue-Bal-
four, which are yet to be seen on
his public buildings. He died in
15o9.

of Mirepoix, in Fiance and even-
tually Cardinalis St. Stephani, in
Monte Cculio. He was the Pope's
Legatus natus, and Legatus a latere ;
and was twice appointed ambassador
to the court of France. Cardinal
Betiiii, or Beaton, as the name is fre-
quently spelt, is represented in very
different lights according to the feel-
ings and views of different historians,
and of the party they embraced. He
possessed great property and influ-
ence ; and exerted himself, perhaps
with more zeal than discretion, in
asserting and maintaining the reli-
gion by law established ; and tiie
authority of the see of Rome. He
lived in most troubled times, and as
at such periods, especially when re-
ligion has a share in the ferment,
men are often excited to extraordi-
nary and violent measures, a con-
spiracy was formed against the Car-
dinal, headed by one Norman, Les-
ley, who, having, with his followers,
effected an entrance into tlie castle
of St. Andrews, murdered the prelate
in cold blood. This daring outrage
was perpetrated in the year 1545
(29th May). The Cardinal had, it
is asserted, many children. All that
is now known of his male issue,
is that Thomas Betune, formerly of
Nether Tarvet, latterly of Kilcon-
quhar, in Fife, considers his family
to be descended from Archibald, the
Cardinal's second son. The Cardi-
nal's eldest daughter was married,
with great pomp and solemnity, to the
Earl of Crawford. Another daughter,
it is said, married Scott, Earl of Buc-
cleuch ; a third the Earl of Murray ;
and a fourth, Murray, of Black-
barronie, Peebleshire. The great
Duke of Lauderdale used to say,
that there was more of the Cardinal's
blood running in the veins of the
Scotch nobility, than of any single
man since his time. The Cardinal's

MOSTYN, OF KIDDINGTON.

Umcnqc,

This family derives, tlirouoh a female
descent, from the ancient and honourable
liouse of Brown, Viscounts Montague, it
rejjresents a branch of that noble stock,
and thus establishes them kindred to tlie j
most illustrious names in our history. At
the coronation of Kivg Richard II,

Sir Anthony Brown was amongst those
persons of distinction who were made
Knights of the Bath. He had two sons.
Sir Robert and Sir Stephen : the younger
filled the civic chair of London, in 1439,
and, during his mayoralty, a scarcity of
wheat occurring, he imported large cargoes
of rye from Prussia, and distributed them
gratuitously amongst the poorer classes of
people. The elder son,

Sir Robert Brown, was father of

Sir Thomas Brown, who was Treasurer
of the Household to King Henry VI.
He espoused Eleanor, daughter and co-heir
of Sir Thomas Fitz Alan, and niece of John,
thirteenth earl of Arundel, by whom he
acquired the Castle of Beechworth, in Sur-
rey, which his eldest son. Sir George
Brown, inherited. Sir Thomas's third sou,

Sir Anthony Brown, was appointed by
King Henry VII, in the first year of
that monarch's reign, standard-bearer
for the whole realm of England, and else-
where. He in. Lucy, one of the daughters,
and co-heirs of Sir John Nevill, created
Marquess of Montagu,* and widow of Sir
Thomas Fitz Williams, kut. of Aldwarke,
in the county of York, and was s. at his
decease, in 1506, by his only son,

Sir Anthony BROWN,t who made a dis-
tinguished figure in the reign of Henry
VIII. He was a knight of the garter,
standard-bearer to the king, and one of the
executors of the will of his royal master.
He m. first, Alice, daughter of Sir John
Gage, of Firle, and, secondly, Elizabeth,

* He was third son of Richard Nevill, Earl of
Salisbury, K. G. by the Lady Alice Montacute,
daughter and heir of Thomas de Montacute, Earl
of Salisbury, and, by his wife, the Lady Eleanor
Holland, daughter of Thomas Holland, Earl of
Kent, and sister and co-heir of Edmund, Earl of
Kent : she was grandaughter of Joane Planta-
GENET, the Fair Maid of Kent, who was daughter
of Edmund, of Woodstock, Earl of Kent, second
son of King Edward the First.

t Sir Anthony was the builder of Coudray
House, at Medhurst, in Surrey, which remained,
until destroyed by fire, on the 24th September,
1793, the most beautiful and genuine model of a
magnificent mansion in the reign of Henry the
Eighth.

second daughter of Gerald, earl of Kil-
dare ; by tlie latter he had no surviving
issue. He d. in 1548, and was s. by his
elder son,

Sir Anthony Brown, knt. who was
sheriff of Surrey and Sussex, in the last
year of King Edward VI. and was
raised to the peerage by Queen Mary, as
Viscount Montagu, on the 2nd of Sep-
tember, 1554. This elevation appears to
be preparatory to his mission to the Pope,
with Thomas Thurlby, bishop of Ely, by
order of parliament, for the purpose of
re-uniting the realm of England with the
holy see. He was afterwards made a
knight of the garter, but, upon the acces-
sion of Elizabeth, his name was left out of
the privy council, and he voted, soon after,
in his place in parliament, with the Earl of
Shrewsbury, against abolishing the Pope's
supremacy. Yet he contrived, Camden
states, to get into favour with the queen ;
"Elizabeth, (says that learned author,)
having experienced his loyalty, had great
esteem for him, (though he was a stilf
Romanist,) and paid him a visit some time
before his death ; for, she was sensible that
his regard for that religion was owing to
his cradle and education, and proceeded
rather from principle than faction, as some
people's did. His lordship's first wife,
was the Lady Jane Ratclilfe, daughter
of Robert, Earl of Sussex ; in his issue, by
whom (she died 20th July, 1553), the Vis-
county OF Montague vested, until the
year 1797, when the dignity is supposed to
have become extinct. {See Burke''s Ex-
tinct Peerage.) He

Oxford.

Soon after the Conquest, about the year 1130,
in the reign of Henry the First, the Norman
family of De Salcey, or, Saucey, seem to have
beroinf> proprietors of the manors of Kiddington
and Asterley, with other large estates in the

and distinction, though unnoticed in history ; and
were great landed proprietors, not only in this.

but in the counties of Buckingham, Nottingham,
York, Derby, Hereford, and Northampton, par-
ticularly in the latter, where it is supposed they
gave their name to Salcey Forest. In or about
the year 1220, Sibel de Saucey, heiress of the
family, wedded Richard de Willescote, or, Wil-
liamscote, and thus Kiddington and Asterley
became the inheritance of the de Williamscotes,
from those it passed, in the reign of Henry the
Sixth, to the family of Babington, a branch of the
Babingtons, of Chillwell, in Nottinghamshire,
and by them was sold, as in the text, to Sir
Henry BrowTie. There was another branch of
the Babington family seated at Dethick, in Der-

cuted in the reign of Elizabeth, for conspiring to

the wife of Sir Edward Mostyn, bart. of
Talacre, whom she married in 1748 (for the

sons. Piers and Charles Mostyn. She
wedded, secondly, Edward Gore, esq. of
Barrow Court, in Somersetshire, and by
that gentleman had several children, of
whom, William Gore, the eldest son, on
marrying the heiress of the Langton family
in 1783, assumed the additional name of
Langton (see vol. i. page 145). Lady
Mostyn's elder son by her first husband,
succeeding his father in 1735, became Sir
Piers Mostyn. The younger, in pursuance
of the will of his grandfather, assumed the
additional surname and arms of " Browne,"

esq. of Branceford Peak, Devonshire, by Eleanor his w^ife, daughter of the Rev. James

Mr. Lewis, who is a barrister-at-law, was elected M. P. for Cardiff in 1820, for
Aldburgh in 1827, and for Maidstone in 1835. He is a magistrate, deputy-lieu-
tenant, and major of the Local Militia, in the county of Glamorgan.

ILincaqc.

This family traces its descent to the most
remote period of British history, and through
a line of ancestors, whose names are con-
spicuous in all the records of the ancient
Britons.

Descended from the line of the ancient
British princes was Tfon, who, at the close
of his life, in the fifth century, became a
member of the college of St. lUtyd, and
was, first, bishop of Caer Loew (now called
Gloucester), and afterwards bishop of Lon-
don, from whence he was driven by the
Pagan Saxons. The patrimony of this Teon
is presumed to have been in that part of
Britain now called Shropshire, as a range of
hills in that county are to this day called,

called Cloddikn, had married Morfydd,
danjiliter and sole heir to Owain ap Teith-
waleh, lord of Cardigan, by whom he ac-
quired large possessions in South Wales.

GwAETH VOED vvas contemporary with Ed-
gar, king of the Saxons, and was, in con-
formity with the vassalage of those periods,
summoned, w ith other Welsh chieftains, by
Edgar, to meet him at Chester, to row him,
in his royal barge, on the river J)ee, in
proof of fealty. Gwaethvoed, in answer
to this summons, said lie could not row,
and that he would not, if he could, except
it were to save a person's life, whether
king or vassal. Edgar sent a second and
very imperious message, which Gwaethvoed
did not seem at all to notice, until the mes-
senger begged to know what reply he should
deliver to the king ; when Gwaethvoed, in
tiie Welsh language, answered thus : " Say
to him. Fear him who fears not death " —
(Ofnek na ofne angau.) This stern reply,
discovering at once to Edgar the fearless
unbending character he had to deal with,
lie prudently changed his autocratic decree
into a desire of mutual friendship, and going
to Gwaethvoed, gave the chief his hand in
pledge of his sincerity. Gwaethvoed mar-
ried Morfydd, one of the daughters and co-
heirs of Ivor, king or lord of Gwent, by
whom he was father of

Cedrych, who is stated to have married
Nest, daughter of Tangno ap Cadvael, lord
of Ardudwy, in North Wales.

Cedivor, son of Cedrych, was lord of
Llancayacli, in Morgauwg (Glamorgan-
shire), and married Myfanwy, daughter of
Gwrgant, lord of Glamorgan. His son,

Meukig ap Cedivor, married Gwladys,
daughter of Arthen, king or lord of Gwent,
by whom he was father of

Ivor ap Meurig, known in Welsh his-
tory as Ivor bach (that is Ivor Petit or
Little Ivor), who, though a man of low sta-
ture, was' of high mind and courage: lie
married Nest, daughter of Madoc ap Cra-
doc, with whom he obtained the lordship of
Sainghenydd (St. Kenyth's), in Glamorgan-
shire, ami in the time of Henry II. disputes
took place between him and William Con-
sul, earl of Gloucester (then lord of Gla-
morgan), because the earl's predecessor had
built the castle of Cardifi' upon some part of
Ivor's lordship, besides dispossessing him
of other lands : whereupon Ivor, having
gathered bis forces together, took the castle
of Cardift" by escalade, killing 120 soldiers,
and making the earl, his countess, and their

son prisoners; these prisoners, with the
spoils of the castle, he conviiyed lo the moun-
tains of Sainghenydd, nor did lie release
them until he had compensation fur the rents
of which he hiid been deprived : it was also
agreed tnrther, that Grillith, eldest son of
Ivor, should receive in marriage the carl's
daughter, in consideration of which Ivor
and (iriliith should <|uit claim to the lands
on which (Jardilf Castle was erected. In
one of the leads so common in those dajs
Ivor was eventually slain, and the valley
whicli was the scene of his last action is
still called Pant Cued Ivor.

llmcngc.

Sir Thomas Hume, dnminus de eodem,
the seventh generation of that ancient family
in a direct male line, flonrished in the reigns
of Kitiff Robert II. and III. He m. Ni-
chola Pepdie, lieiress of Dunglass, and had
two sons, Alexander (Sir), his successor,
ancestor to the Earls of Home, and Sir
David Hume, from whom descended

Alexander Hume, third Baron of Pol-
worth. This nobleman m. first, Margaret,
daughter of Robert, second Lord Crichton,
of Sanquhar, ancestor of the Earl of Dum-
fries, and got a charter under the great
seal : " Alexandre Hume de Polworth et
Margarett« Crichton ejus sponsce terraruni
de Brcgamsheils, etc." dated 26th July,
1511 : by her he had three sons, viz.

I. Patrick, his heir.

II. Alexander, of Heugh, rZ. 5. p.
HI. Gavin.

The third son,

Gavin Hume, afterwards styled " Captain
of Tantallon," espoused the cause of Qiieeii
Mary, and served as lieutenant under James,
Earl of Arran, Duke of Chatclherault. Sub-
sequently, an officer in the Gens d'Armes,
lie took part in the famous battle of St.
Quintins in the year 1557, and his military
skill and bravery on that occasion are re-
corded by many French and other iiisto-
rians : Thnonus, (vol. i. lib. xix. p. 658),
giving an account of this engagement, says
that " the second breach was given to be
defended by Hume, the lieutenant of the
Earl of Arran : " and that Colgni, in his
Commentaries, attributes to him the chief
praise of the military skill displayed on
the occasion ; in page 659 of the same vo-
lume, he mentions that Hume with several
otiier Scotch were taken prisoners. Ide
Serres also, in his History of France, Lond.
1611, p. 716, makes mention of the capture
of Hume at St. Quintins. Gavin m. aFrencli
lady, and had a son and successor,

Andrew Hume, wlio returned to Scotland
and purchased the estate of the Rhodes,
near to tlic lands of his cousin, the first Sir
John Hume, of Nortli Berwick. He j«.
Mosea Seaton, dan. of Seaton, of Barnes,
and niece to the Earl of Winton, by whom
he had, with a daughter, supposed to have
wedded George Hume, of Pinkerton, four
sons, viz.

I. Robert, his heir.

II. Thomas, who became the confiden-
tial favourite of Sir .John Preston,
Earl of Desmond, and through the
influence of that nobleman's daugh-
ter, Elizabeth, Duchess of Ormonde,
obtained the hand of Miss French,
a great heiress, her grace's ward, in
marriage. In consequence of which
he settled in Ireland, and after the
Restoration acquired large tracts of
land in the county of Tipperary,
under grant from the Crown, dated
in February, 1665. In the same year
he was presented with the freedom
of the city of Dublin in a silver box,
and subsequently had the honour of
knighthood from the Duke of Or-
mond, then lord lieutenant of Ire-
land. Sir Thomas died at an ad-
vanced age, 4th July, 1668, as appears
from a registry of his death in the
office of Arms, Dublin. He had no
issue, and some time before his de-
mise, he induced his nephew, Tho-
mas, the eldest son of his elder bro-
ther Robert to come from Scotland,
under the promise of making him his
sole heir. Dying, however, intes-
tate, a considerable portion of his
property devolved upon his widow,
Lady Anne Hume, who obtained ad-
ministration, as appears from an
entry in the Prerogative Office in
Dublin, dated in August, 1668. Her
ladyship afterwards compromised
with Thomas, the nephew, for a sum
of money, and married for her second
husband Captain George Mathews,
half brother to the old Duke of Or-
mond, whereby the lands in Tippe-
rary merged in the LaudaiF estate.
Lady Anne survived Captain Ma-
thews, and died in the beginning of
March, 1701 . By her last will, whicli
was duly registered and proved the
13th of that month, she bequeathed,
after some legacies, all the estate,
arrears of rent, and of dower, goods
and chattels, to Sir Henry Wemys
and Thomas Hume, by the descrip-
tion of Thomas Hume, nephew of

WATTS, OF HAWKESDALE HALL.

Cumberland, by Sir James Lowther, bart.
A.D. ITM. This gentleman, inheriting from
Lis grandfather a taste for antiquities, made
many valuable collections, principally con-
cerning the county of Cumberland, and
mainly assisted Joseph Nicolson, esq. of
Hawkesdale Hall, in that county, [whose
niece he married], in his arduous under-
taking of compiling the History of his na-
tive county ; of which Mr. Watts was for
many years an active magistrate. He mar-
ried Mary, daughter of John Nicolson,*
esq. and sister [and in her issue] sole heir
of John Nicolson, esq. of Hawkesdale Hall,
in Cumberland, and great niece of Dr.
William Nicolson,t Bishop of Carlisle, after-
wards of Londonderry, and eventually Arch-
bishop of Cashel ; by which lady he left issue
a daughter, Mary, wife of the Rev. Wil-
liam Brisco, of Langrigg, in the county of
Cumberland, [descended from a younger

* Although the family of Watts, of Hawkes-
dale, descend from the royal house of Plantagenet
through other matches, yet the following line
from King Edward III. is selected as being
almost entirely through families of, or connected
with the county of Cumberland.

King Edward III. by his 'wife Philippa, of
Ilainault, had Lionel, of Antwerp, Duke of Cla-
rence, who by his wife Elizabeth, daughter and
heir to John de Burgh, Earl of Ulster, left an
only daughter, PhiUppa, wife to Edmond Morti-
mer, Earl of March. Their daughter, Elizabeth,
espoused the famous Harry Hotspur, Lord Percy.
Of this illustrious couple was born a daughter,
Elizabeth Percy, the wife of John, Lord Clifford,
Knight of the Garter, by whom she was mother
to Thomas, Lord Clifford, who by Ins wife Joan,
daughter of Thomas, Lord Dacre, of the North,
K.G. had issue, inter alios, a daughter, Joan de
Clifford, wife of Sir Richard Musgrave, of Mus-
grave and Eden Hall. A daughter of this mar-
riage espoused John jMartindale, esq. of >>ewton,
whose grand-daughter conveyed that property in
marriage to William iNIusgrave, esq. of Ilayton
Castle, the representative of another branch of
the famous and knightly family of Musgrave.
'I'hey had issue, Anne ^lusgrave, the wife of
John Brisco, esq. of Crofton, whose son, William
Brisco, esq. bv his wife Jane, daughter of Wil-
liam Orpheur, of Plumland, had issue John Brisco,
of Crofton, who by JNIary, daughter of Sir Thomas
Braithwaite, of Bameshead, was father of JNIary
Brisco, the wife of the Rev. Joseph Nicolson,
rector of Plumland and Torpenhow, father by her
of William Nicolson, Bishop of Carlisle, and John
Nicolson, esq. of Hawkesdale, whose grand-
daughter, ]\Iary Nicolson, [viz. daugliter of John,
his son, and niece of Joseph, of Hawkesdale, his-
torian of the county], married, as in the text, the
Rev. William Watts.

t The family of Nicolson were of note in the
counties of Cumberland and Westmoreland for
the beet part of three centuries, and matclied with
some of the most distinguished houses of those
and the neighbouring counties, as with the Cur-
wens, of Poulton, county of Lancaster; the Gil-

branch of the house of Crofton], whose wi-
dow she died, vvithout issue, 1826, and a
son,

The Rev. Clement Watts, M. A. of
Queen's College, Oxford, who was pre-
sented by that college to the vicarage of
Holm Cultram, in the county of Cumber-
land. He was in the commission of the
peace for the county, and wedded Mary,
daughter of William Benn, esq. of More
Row, and only sister of Sir John-Benn
Walsh, bart. of Ormthwaite Hall, in the
same county, by whom [who survived him
till 1818] he had

I. JoHN-NicoLSON, his heir.

II. William, who died young.

III. Thomas, who was in the Madras
civil service, m. Miss Catherine Gar-
ling, and died in 1812, without issue.

I. Mary, wife of John Brocklebank,

pins, of Kentmere ; the Senhouses, of Netherhall ;
the Scotts, of the Park-broom : the Featherston-
haughs, of Kirkoswald ; the Kynnarsleys, of
Kendal, [by an heiress of a younger son of the
Salkelds, of Whitehall] ; the Briscos, of Crofton,
&c. &c. They were members of the corporation
of Carlisle, and served the office of mayor of
that ancient city. The Hawkesdale branch of the
family, by the death of the Rev. Clement Nicol-
son, in 1827, became totally extinct in the male
line.

Of one brancli, descended from Robert, brother
to Joseph Nicolson, of Park-broom, (the grand-
father of the Bishop Nicolson), the last represen-
tative was the memorable jNIargery Jackson, so
famous in Cumbrian song, the recollection of
whose eccentricities yet survives among the aged
inhabitants of the city of Carlisle.

Dr. Nicholson, Archbishop of Cashel, who for his
transcendent learning, was called the " Star of the
North," was born in 1655 ; and, at the age of fifteen,
wasadmittedofQueen'sCollege,Oxford. In 1679,

O'DONOVAN, OF THE COUNTY OF CORK

1LinC(mr.

Tliis family and sept is one of the most
aiiciiMit among the aboriginal Irish, and in
old times possessed an extensive territory
called the Cantred of Hy Dunobhan, si-
tuated between the present towns of Bantry,
Diinmanwav, and Skibbereen, in the south
west of the county of Cork, of portions of
which the estates of the late and present
chieftains consist. Keatinge traces its des-
cent from the oldest branches of his Hiber-
nian genealogy, and places their escutcheon
as thirteenth in his armorial table. Mr.
Gough, in his edition of Camden's Britan-
nia, "following the account given by Smith,
the historian of the county of Cork, says,
" The Irish antiquarians allow but eight fa-
milies of royal extraction in Munster, of
which they place four in Carbery, which
compreliended all the south-west part of
this county (Cork), and these were, besides
the Mac Cartys, O'Mahon or Mahown,
' O'Donovan, and O'Driscol. The family of
O'Donovan is allowed to be of royal ex-
traction. Their territory in this county went
formerly by the name of Clancahill, a part
of West Carbery, comprehending the large
and mountainous parish of Dromaleague
and other tracts, in which parish they had
their chief residence at Castle Donovan.
This family came hither from a barony in
the count V of Limerick called Coshma, where
they built the famous castle of Crom, which
afterwards fell to the Kildare family, and
from which the motto ' Crom-a-boo,' still
used by that noble house, was taken. The
representative of this ancient family has his
seat at Banlaghan, in West Carbery." Be-
sides Castle Donovan, he says, the castles of
Banduff and of Rahine also belonged to

them. , ., , X r

The male line of the family branch of
Banlaghan expired on the death of T^ieu-
tenant-general Richard O'Donovan in 1829.
DoNELL or Danill, chieftain of the sept,
who died about the year 1618, left six sons
and one daughter, viz.

1. DoNKLL, from whom descended

Dam EL O'Donovan, of Banlag-
han, who »«. first. Miss Kearny,
daughter of Francis Kearny, es(|.
of Garrettstown, in the county
of Cork, but by her had no issue ;
and, secondly" .lane, daughter of
Richard Becher, esq. of Holly-
brook, by whom he had,

Richard, of Banlaghan, a
lieutenant - general in the
army, who m. Miss Powell,
but had no issue. He died
in 1829.
John, killed in 179G, in the
Maroon %\ar in Jauuiica.

Jane, died in 1832.

Helen, vi. to John, son of Sir
Robert Warren, hart.
Daniel O'Donovan, by his last
will, dated in 1770, devised a
remainder in his estates, on fai-
lure of the male issue of his two
sons, Richard and John, " to his
kinsman, Morgan Donovan, esq.
of the city of Cork," father of
the present chief of the family.
He did so in fulfilment of a
mutual agreement between him
and this Morgan's father, that
on the failure of male issue of
either branch, the survivor should
inherit in order to unite the fa-
mily estates. The branch of Ban-
laghan has been allied by mar-
riage with the houses of Tonson,
Lords Riversdale, K earney, Hun-
gerford, Becher, and many other
eminent ones in the county of
Cork. It also for nearly two
centuries frequently represented
the borough of Baltimore in the
Irish parliament.

he entirely disabled, whereby he
gained very great applause ; and,
being of a comely personage and sta-
ture, a lady of quality and fortune,
who was present at the fight, fell so
much in love with him, that she sent
him word, " She was at his service, if
he were disposed to marry," and he,
embracing tlie offer, settled at Ant-

parsonage-house by Colonel Duken-
field. Tradition, which asserts hini
to have survived the restoration, and
to have been reinstated in his living
at a great age, is confirmed by the
parish register as follows : " Oct.

Doctor Harwood is an author of reputation in county antiquities.

Uinenge.

The name of Harwood is of Saxon origin,
and was anciently spelt Herward, Horwode,
and Whorwood. According to Domesday,
Hereward liad lands in the counties of Lin-
coln and Warwick previous to the conquest.
He was son of Leofric, Earl of Mercia, and
Lord of Brune, in Lincolnshire, and the
marshes adjoining, and was chosen by the
prehites and nobility, who retired to the Isle
of Ely after the Conqueror's invasion, to be
the general of their forces. In the Saxon
period he was called " The Mirror of
Knighthood," and Ingulphus dwells mi-
nutely on the incidents of his life. Here-
ward was the last Earl of Mercia, who
resided at Bourne, and was buried in the
abbey there. Hume, in speaking of the
Conqueror's subjugation of the Isle of Ely,
says, " Hereward alone forced his way,
sword in hand through the enemy, and still
continued his hostilities by sea against the
Normans, till at last William, charmed with
his bravery, received him into favour, and
restored him to his estate." And Camden
states that " Borland, in Lincolnshire, was
granted by William I. to Joy Talbois, of
Anjou, whose insolence Herward, a hopeful
and spirited Englishman, son of Leofric,
lord of Brune or Bourn, not being able to
brook, as his own and his family's safety
was now concerned, having obtained knight-
hood from Brens, abbot of Peterborough,
whose aversion to the Normans had already
shewn itself, made war against him, and
after giving him several overthrows, at last
took him prisoner, and allowed him to ran-
som himself, on condition that he himself
sJiould be restored to the king's favour, and

die in his allegiance and protection : such
was (he eflect of merit even in an enemy."
Camden also states, under the title "Cam-
bridgeshire," A. D. 1071, " many English,
unable to bear the Conqueror's oppressions,
came hither, under the conduct of the Earl
Edwin, of Chester, Morchar, and Siward,
and of Egsider, bishop of I)urham,'ravaged
tlie adjacent country under the command of
Hereward, an English nobleman, and built
here in the marshes a woode castle, called
Hereward's Castle in Matthew Paris' time.
William having this, besieged the island,
made roads of great length in the marshes,
built many bridges over the bogs, and erected
a castle at a place called Wipberum, on
which all but Hereward, and his followers,
submitted."

In the time of Edward I. in the "No-
mina Nobilium Equitumque, &c., de North-
folk" Sir Robert Herward is mentioned as
bearing the following arms, " d'azure a
une fesse gabonne de goules et de vert iij
hewtes d'argent." This family continued
in the county of Lincoln and in the immedi-
ate vicinity of Bourne, for many centuries.
One of the last of this line was George
Harwood, a merchant, of London, who en-
tered his pedigree in the visitation for Corn-
hill, in 1634. He was son of N^'illiam Har-
wood, of Thurlby, near Bourn, in the county
of Lincoln, and was brother of Sir Edward
Harwood, knight, of whom Fuller says,
" his birth was gentile, and from a root fit
to engraft his future education and excel-
lency." Sir Edward was one of the four
standing colonels in the low countries in the
long war, in support of the King of Bohe-

408

HARVVUOD, OF HAGBOURN AND STREATLEY.

Tiiia, and was killed at the siege of Mastricht,
ill 1632. Ill the visitation of London, in
1634, this George Harwood is recorded as
bearing the same arms as were borne by
the above Sir Robert Herward, and in the
" nomina nobilium, equitumque &c." temp.
Edwakd I. Sir Robert Hereward de Caun-
tebrigeschir is mentioned as bearing " Che'
ker de or et d' azure a une bende, de
goules iij Egles d'Argent." * Families,
of this line, were settled in the counties of
Stafford and Oxford, spelling their names
Horewode, Whorwood, and Harwood, and
bore for their arms " arg. a chevron be-
tween three stags' heads caboshed sa." and
were of Compton, Sandwell, and Stourton
castle, in the former county, and of Holton,
in the latter.

Of the Staflfordshire family was Sir Wil-
liam Whorwood, knight. Attorney-general
to King Henry VIH., whose only daughter
and co-heiress by his first wife (a daughter
of Edward Grey, esq. of Enville) mar-
ried Ambrose Dudley, Earl of Warwick, and
whose only daughter and co-heiress by his
second wife (Margaret, daughter of Lord
Chief Baron Brooke) married the eldest
son of Sir Robert Throgmorton, knight.
The name of Whorwood is extinct in Staf-
fordshire, and the Sandwell estate is now
the property and residence of the Earl of
Dartmouth, and Stourton Castle, passed by
purchase, to the Foleys. — In the 16th of
Elizabeth, William Thomas Harwood,
arm, in the 17th of Elizabeth, William
Harwood arm. and in the 16th of James

L, Thomas Horwood arm. were sherifls of
Staffordshire.

Willus de Horwode, another descendant
of the Herwards, of Lincolnshire, held the
Manors of Stevenbury, Preston Candover,
Fremantel, and Polhampton, in the county
of Hants, and of Bradfield, in the neighbour-
ing county of Berks, in the time of King
Edward III., and the family of Horwode
and Harwood continued in possession of
these manors for many generations.

There is a family of Harwood (descended
from these Horwodes) living in Hampshire,
and at this time possessed of estates in the
neighbourhood of Preston and Fremantel.
And a branch of the Hampshire Herwards
(descended from Robertus Hereward, of
the counties of Lincoln and Cambridge
who, temp. Edward I., bore for their arms
' chi ' ker d'or et d'azure une bende de
gules iij egles d'argent,") resided at Ni-
cholas-Pres, near Whitchurch, county of
Salop, temp. Henry VI., and continued
there for six generations, when they re-
turned to Odiam, county of Hants, and they
bore, during the whole of the time they
were in Shropshire, the ancient coat of Sir
Robert Hereward, of Cambridgeshire.f

But the branch of this family, of which
we shall have chiefly to treat, settled them-
selves at a very early period in the county
of Berks, bearing the Staffordshire coat, but
distinguished by a different colour, the
Berkshire branch having the bearings gules
instead of sable.X They were of Hag-
bourne, in that shire, and were settled there

four or five hundred years from the time of
Kiuy Edwahd III, if not from an earlier
period. About i;M4, John ,Here\vard was
a juror on an Inquisition touching some
land at Chesterton, (juxta Goring), which
was decided in favour of the abbot of Ose-
ney.* In 1332, Robert Herward was arch-
deacon of Taunton, and prebendary of Lin-
coln ; and in 1330, Hol)crt of Ely, and Tho-
mas Harwoode or Whorwode, were sheriffs
of London.

William Hereward was Abbot of Ciren-
cester, anno 1346, and Robcrtus Here-
trard gave by grant, dated in the 19th of
King Edward III., (1345), certain lands iu
East Hackbourne, county of Berks, to the
Abbey of Cirencester, to which Abbey the
church and rectorial tithes of Hagbourne
belonged, f From him descended Jo-
hannes Horwode, (whose name was re-
turned amongst the gentry of Berkshire by
the commissioners for the preservation of
the peace, for the year 1433, 12th Henry
VI.) ancestor of Harwood, of Hagbourne,

of Cambridgeshire, temp. Edward I., namelv,

* In the reign of Edward II. (about 1314) an
Inquisition was directed by the escheator of Ox-
fordshire to inquire how the abbey of Oseney had
appropriated to its house two virgates of land in
Chesterton, nigh adjoining Oseney, by the gift of
Bardulf de Chesterton, without the king's license,
and contrary to the statute of 7th Edward T. and
amongst the jury of the neighbouring inhabitants
were John Hereward and Richard Alleyn, who,
with the other jurors, made a return under their
oaths and seals, that William Abbot, of Oseney,
predecessor of the then Abbot, in the 4th year of

t Griffiths Higges, S. T. P., of tkis family,
made Dean of Lichfield in 1638, was bom at
South Stoke, near Streatley, educated at Reading
school and St. John's College, Oxford; became
Fellow of Merton College and Proctor of that
University in 1622. In 1627 he went to the
Hague as Chaplain to the Queen of Bohemia. On
liis return to England he obtained the rich rectory
of ClifF, near Dover, he was also chaunter of St.
David's, and chaplain to the King. He was at
great expense in adorning Lichfield cathedral,
and was a man of learning and a benefactor to his
college. He suffered much in the rebellion, and
retired to the place of his nativity, where he died
December 13th, 1659, aged seventy, and was
buried in the chancel of that church, in which there
is a long Latin inscription to his memoiy, written
by himself. He bequeathed his library to Merton
College, in Oxford, but his books having been
plundered in the time of the rebellion and lodged
in the library at Stafford, the College could never
recover them. Part of the inscription is as fol-
lows: " Hie jacet Griffinus Higgs, filius secundo

* The Right Hon. Richard Hill was an emi-
nent statesman in the reign of King William and
the two subsequent reigns, and, refusing the high-
est honours for himself, received from George I.
a baronetcy for Rowland Hill, his nephew and
hoir at law, with remainder to Samuel Barbour
Hill, of Shenstone, who married the Lady Eliza-
beth, sister of Philip, the celebrated Earl of Ches-
terfield, but be died without issue, leaving a
sister and heiress, who married Egerton of Tatton.
Upon his death, however, the Shenstone and other
entailed estates devolved to Noel Hill. The next
limitations in remainder of the baronetcy were to
his nephews Thomas Harwood and Rowland Har-
wood.

t This Thomas Harwood (afterwards Hill) was
oifered an Irish peerage during the Newcastle
Administration, which he declined from the most
honourable motives.

His first wife was Anne, daughter of Richard
Powys, esq. and aunt of Lady Sydney, Lady Uyne-
ver, and Lady Courtown, and great aunt of Lady
Chatham, and the late Duchess of Buccleugh. By
that wife, besides other children who died young,
he had two daughters, Margaret, wife of Bennett
Sherard, Earl of Harboiough (bv whom he had
Lord Sherard and another cliild, who died in
their infancy), and Anne, who married Robert

eldest daughter and co-heir with her sister Lucy,
Countess of Harborough, of the Hon. William
Noel, Justice of the Common Pleas, and uncle of
the first Viscount Wentworth, grandson of Lord
Lovelace, and the Earl of Cleveland, by whom he
had, besides Samuel and Susan who died 3-oung,
Noel Hill and Maria, married, first, to Sir Bryan
Broughton Delves, hart, and, secondly, to Henry
Errington, esq. half brother of the Earl of Sefton.

afterwards member for the county of Salop. Noel

sisters Lady Anne Conolly and Lady Lucy Ho-
ward, to William, Earl of Strafford), whose eldest
daughter, the Lady Henrietta, (sister of this
Anne), was late Countess of Grosvenor, mother
of the Marquis of Westminster.

The patent of peerage for Noel Hill was to
have been made out for one of the above titles of
Cleveland or Lovelace ; the former was abandoned
out of compliment to Viscount Wentworth, then
living, and the second was actually inserted in
the patent, bat afterwards suddenly changed io
Berwick.

X John Kynaston (their grandson) was also
M. P. for Shropshire, and afterwards took the
name of Powell. They both claimed the ancient
barony of Powis or Grey, or Charlton de Powis.
The grandson was created a baronet with remain-
der to his brother, the present Sir Edw;u-d Ky-
naston.

§ His mother was a Wrottesley, of Wrottesley.
The heiress of Prince married an Astley, whose
sole lieiress carried their great ebtates in Shrop-
shire to the Earl of lankerville.

ford, esq. first cousin of tlie poet
Congreve,]: and had issue.
Having thus detailed the senior branch, we
proceed to that of Streatley :

Thomas Harvvood, sheriff of Berks in
1695, of Streatley, the third son of John
Harwood, of Hagbourne, was brouglit up
in the navy. He was lieutenant of the
Henry, in which ship, at the commence-
ment of the Dutch war, he fought in the
memorable battle of the 3rd June, 1664.
In 166.5, he was commander of the Return.
He was lieutenant of the Royal Prince, of
100 guns, the heaviest and largest ship of
the whole fleet, engaged in the great battle
of tlie 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of June, 1666. On
the third day of the battle, while his admi-
ral. Sir George Ayscough, was endeavour-
ing to form a junction with Prince Rupert
and his squadron, who was hastening to the
assistance of the English fleet, then hard
pressed by the Dutch, the Royal Prince
struck on a sand called the Galloper, when,
after having for a considerable time de-
fended the ship with the utmost bravery
against a host of enemies, the admiral was
compelled to surrender the ship ; and the
Dutch being unable to get their conquest
off, after having removed the men, set her
on fire. He was, with his admiral, impri-

* Their issue was an only'daughter Anne, to.
first, to Thomas Wheeler, esq. eldest son of Sir
George Wheeler, D. D., prebendary of Durham,
by Grace, daughter of Sir Thomas Higgons, of
Hewel, near Odiam, by Bridget, sister of John
Granville, Earl of Bath. Granville Wheeler,
next brother of Thomas, m. Catherine, daughter
of Theophilus, Earl of Huntingdon, and left
issue. The above Ann, m. secondly, Humphrey
Walcot, esq. of Sudbury, of the family of Walcot,
of Walcot, Salop.

t Descended from a twin brother of the an-
cestor of Sir 'I'homas Hanmer, bart.

i The arms of Congreve impaling Harwood
are still to be seen on an entablature over the door
at Stretton Hall, now the property of Edward
Monckton, esq. ; and there is an old oak on the
lawn neai- the house, under which, it is said, the
poet Congreve wrote many scenes of " the Old
Batchelor."

soned in the castle of Louvestain. On his
return from captivity he was, in 1667, pro-
moted to the command of the Drake. From
the time he quitted this ship, which he did
soon after, in consequence of peace being
concluded with the Dutch, he had no com-
mand till the commencement of the second
Dutch Avar, when he was made captain of
the St. Andrew, in which ship Sir John
Kempthorne hoisted his flag. Captain Har-
wood served in this station, in the Blue
squadron, at the battle of Solebay in 1672,
having been one of the commanders who
weathered the Dutch towards the conclu-
sion of the engagement, and completed their
defeat. Having retired from the navy, he
resided on his estate at Streatley, became
justice of the peace for Berkshire, and in
1695 served the office (as we have before
said) of sheriff of that county. He m. Mary,
daughter of Admiral Richard Swanley,*

* Lysons, in his Environs of London, pub-
lished in 1795, states, " that there was a tomb in
the churchyard of Stepney, county of Middle-
sex, to the memory of Captain Richard Swanley,
late admiral in the Irish Seas, who died 1650."

From Rushworth, Hist. Coll. Vol. V. Ann.
1644, June 4. A petition from several of the
gentry of Wales was read, desiring Captain Swan-
lev (who was returned with the fleet into the
Downs, and come to London to give an account
of his successes) might speedily be sent back,
and continue commander in chief among 'em,
whereupon it was ordered that the frigates be
brought to the Downs to be refitted, and he be
commanded into Whales as was desired. The cap-
tain being called to the bar, had the thanks of the
house for his good services, and a gold chain of
£200 value was ordered him, and one of £100 to
Captain Smith, his vice-admiral.

The following letters from Admiral Swanley
are recorded, and are copied into Fenton's ac-
count of Pembrokeshire, Appendix, p. 27.

Copy of a Letter sent to the gentlemen of the
county of Pembroke.

" As in duty bound, I have in all fidelity ho-
noured my king, and ever have been a lover of
my countiy : now as I stand engaged, God hath
called me to be a servant to both. In discharge of
the trust imposed, I am come hither, to desire
your sweet compliance with me in the preserva-
tion of the gospel in its inherent purity, as also
the king's honour with the subjects' liberty, a
work that every good Christian ought to be active
in, both with the tender of life and fortunes, for
which you have the obligation of our Saviour to
save vou harmless, who saith, ' If any man shall
hazard life and fortunes, or what is most dear to
him for my sake, shall undoubtedly preserve them,"
and for your counter-security, you have three
kingdoms in tlie body of parliament engaged.
Now why stand you gazing like the timorous
Israelites, or the host of the Philistines ? Did not

and store of ammunition, whereof the major part
is not yet come in, occasioned by foul weather
at sea, but upon the first opportunity of wind and
weather undoubtedly will arrive. And by God's
assistance, I am confident, that, if the gentle-
men of this county will join with me in my en-
deavours, we shall drive that malignant rout
who seeks to enslave this nation under the yoke
of the antichristian beast, not only out of this
county but out of the dominion of Wales. Where-
fore I shall desire the gentlemen of this county
to give me their resolutions ; and if any of them
shall not comply, let such look to no favour from
me, if it shall please God to give us the victory,

their country deserve ; and let not any man's heart
be dismayed, for God hath promised to be with
His protecting power, even to the end of the
world, to whose protection I commit you all ; and
expecting your answer, I remain and rest, ever
ready to engage my life with you in the defence
of this great work.

He had £90,000 for his share, and the captain
£20,000. In 1687 a medal was struck on this
occasion ; of this medal there is an engraving in
Evelyn's Numismata, (vide the Life of Sir Wil-
liam "Phipps by Increase Mathur), " upon occa-
sion of the Spanish wreck, out of which great
treasure had been gotten from the bottom of the
sea by our bold and ingenious urinators, after it

WOLLASTON, OF SIIENTON.

WOLLASTON, FREDERICK-WILLIAM, esq. of Shenton Hall, in the county
of Leicester, m. 29th July, 1817, at St. George's, Hanover-square, Lucy, daughter
of Sir Henry Strachey, hart, of Sutton Court, in Somersetshire.

Colonel Wollaston, formerly colonel commanding the 22nd light dragoons, and
brigadier general in Ireland, s. his father in 1801. He is a magistrate and deputy-
lieutenant for Leicestershire, and was its high sheriff in 1807.

Hmcnae.

" It appears, by a considerable number of
very ancient deeds, that this family flou-
rished before and in the reign of Edward
III. at Wollaston, in Staffordshire, that it
took the name from that place ; that Henry,
John, and William de Wollaston, were at that
time lords of that manor ; and that in all those
old deeds, or most of them, the name is spelt,
as this part of the family spell their name now
(viz. Wollaston), and only they, until very
lately, when others, from example, have spelt
it in the same manner. In Richard II.'s
reign they parted with tlie said manor to
the Aston family ; aud then dispersed into
other parts of that county. Some went to
Trescot, and some to Perton, in the parish
of Tettenhall, Staftordshire, of which last
the present family of Shenton in Leicester-
shire, and of Great Finborough in Suffolk,
is descended (as appears by a genealogy
now in the hands of William Wollaston,
and a gift of loaves of bread every Sunday
to the poor of Tettenhall, which is still given
by the said William Wollaston as a memo-
rial of their residence there). At that time,
it is probable, they left out of their name

tlie de, and were no longer called de Wol-
laston, but Wollaston. Tliey were gentle-
men : always lived upon their estates, seem-
ingly witli the same disposition and charac-
ter as at present; contented and without
ambition so as to make much noise in the
world, or to much enlarge their fortunes,
until, in the beginning of Queen Eliza-
beth's reign, one of the younger^'sons of
the family at Perton was sent up to London,
and there, by assiduity, and living to tlie
age of ninety-three, he became very rid).
His money he laid out in the purchase of
those very estates which are now in the fa-
mily ; first in Staffordshire (the county in
which he was born, and his ancestors and
relations lived), by purchasing Oncote Hall,
&c. in the parish of Eccleshal, where he
and his son resided ; after, by repurchasing,
in the very beginning of the reign of James
I. the manor of Wollaston, and the estate
there of the Lord Aston, in whose family it
had been ever since the reign of Rich-
ard II."*

Thomas Wollaston, of Perton, in Staf-
fordshire, a person of rank and influence in
the reign of Henry VII. had a grant from
the crowii of the office of keeper of tlie out-
woods of Lyndridge, which he held until
1523. He left,

I. John, of Perton, whose son,

Thomas Wollaston, of Walshall,
in Staftordshire, h. in June, 151.5,
m. 13th June, 1541, Joan, daugh-
ter of John Ham, gent, and liad
(with a younger son, George,
who died without issue, and'sthree
daughters, Agnes, Elizabeth, and
Jane) his successor,

William Wollasion, an eminent writer
on ethics and theology, b. at Cotton Clan-
ford, in Staffordshire, in 1059. He studied
at Sidney College, Cambridge, and hav-
ing proceeded M.A. in 1081, entered into
holy orders. His first settlement was as
preceptor at a free school at Birmingham,
to which was annexed a small lectureship ;
and he afterAvards became second master in
the same school, hi 1088 the death of his
cousin put him in possession of consider-
able landed property, when he removed to
London, and resided in Charter House
Square. His marriage shortly after with a
lady of large fortune having rendered him
independent, he relinquished all thoughts of
rising in the church, and devoted his whole
time to literary researches. In 1091 he pub-
lished " The designs of the Book of Eccle-
siastes represented in an English poem," 8vo.
but this he would afterwards have suppressed,
from a conviction that he had no talents for
poetry. He printed in 1722, for private
distribution only, a work entitled " The
Religion of Nature delineated," which he
afterwards revised for more extensive cir-
culation. This treatise, in which the author
advances some ingenious speculations coii-
(x^rning the principles of ethical science,
notwithstanding the abstruse nature of the
subject, attracted the notice of the learned,
and procured the writer a distinguished sta-
tion among the philosophers of the last cen-
tury. He JM. in 1089, Catherine, second
daughter and co-heir of Nicholas Charlton,
esq. of London, and by her, who died in

Hinengf.

The family of Drinkwater, of which that
before us is a branch, appears to have been
settled at a remote period in the county of
Chester. The name is said by some to be
a deviation from Dkkwkntvvati'.k, but the
assertion is unsui)ported by authority, nor
does it seem at all probable ; for we find
a similar surname in every kingdom of
modern Europe, in France, Si)ain, Italy,
and (Itrmany. One part of the family
enjoyed considerable property at Rent,
and another at Massey Green, in the pa-
rish of Warburton, and in the immediate
vicinity. \\\ the court rolls of that parish
the nameof Aknold Dkinkwatkk occursas
early as the reign of Henky VH., and that

of Richard Drinkwatf.r, of Bent, in
March, l.'j87. The antiijue stone font, (still
existing 183.'j) in Warburton church, bears
the inscription of "William Diunkvvatkr,
THl^ Kkki'kk, 1595."

In 1G20,

Richard Drinkwatf.r, son probably of
the above mentioned Richard, erected a
considerable mansion on the family estate
at Bent, to which his son,

Arnold Urinkwati-.r, made additions in
IG33, part of which, bearing the date of 1G.'>9,
remained to a very recent period. This Ar-

shire, Raundts and Oundle. He was also
chaplain to the Duke of Manchester, and
resided much at Kimbolton. He m. Anne
Ireton, of Higham Ferrers (a descendant of
the celebrated Sir Henry Ireton), and had
two sons, John and Peter. At the decease
of Mr. Drinkwater, his widow removed from
Northamptonshire to Lancashire, and upon
her demise the family property, which was
considerable, was divided between her two
sons — the elder, John, taking the real, and
the younger, Peter, the personal.

1717-8, at Latchford, m. Mary Barton, of
Barton, near Nortluvich, a relation of the

This John Drinkwater who inherited consi-
derable property in the counties of Chester,
Lancaster, and Northampton, wasted the
whole of it, and entailed great embarrass-
ments on his family. He (/, in 1 7.09-60.
His second son,

John Drinkwater, b. in 1740, entered
the royal navy, and served during the war
of 1758-9 in the West Indies, where as sur-
geon of the Bipon of sixty guns, he was at
the capture of Guadaloupe, &c. In 1761,
he m. first, Elizabeth Andrews, of Salford,
in Lancashire, and soon after established
his residence in that town, where he lived
many years. He wedded, secondly, in 1779,
Elizabeth Ford. By the first lady he had
issue, viz.

I. John, his heir.

II. Thomas, b. in 1765, entered the
army, and obtaining the majority of
the 62nd foot, distinguished himself
in the first campaigns in St. Do-
mingo, in 1793-4. His regiment at
length was so reduced by losses as
to be sent home to recruit the bat-
talion. They were embarked with a
number of sick officers and invalids
(returning to England) in an armed
freight ship of some force. Ap-
proaching the Channel^ the ship was
warned by the British cruizers of
many of the enemies' ships being
at sea. With the troops the freight
ship had on board, it was decided
that she was equal to cope with
any opponent of a moderate class ;
and the military on board were regu-
larly exercised and stationed to make
the best defence. Major Drinkwater
had, of course, the command of the
troops, and had been superintending
the exercise of musketry with a party
of them stationed in the main top,
when a squall came on w hich obliged
them to descend. The major, alter
remaining in the top to direct his
men, was in the act of coming
down, when a ratline gave way
under him and he was precipitated
into the sea, the ship then going at
the rate of eight or nine knots an

hour. He was an excellent swim-
mer, and so long as he was seen
was observed to bear up manfully.
Boats were of course hoisted out and
the ship rounded to, in the hope of
recovering him, but altliough the re-
mainder of tiie day was given to
search. Major Drinkwater was never
seen afterwards.

ously to 1785, whilst bathing in the

Mr. Drinkwater obtained in 1783 the diplo-
ma of M.D., and dying in 175)7 was suc-
ceeded by his son, the present Colonel John
Drinkwater. This gentleman entered the
army in 1777, as an ensign in the royal
Manchester volunteers, a corps of 1000 men
raised by the town in three months, in sup-
port of Government in the American war
after the convention of Saratoga. With this
regiment he proceeded to Gibraltar, in the
summer of 1778, and served with it during
the memorable blockade, bombardment, and
siege of that garrison.

At the peace of 1783, the 72nd regiment
was disbanded, but before that event, Col.
Drinkwater purchased a company ; on being
placed on half-pay, he published a liistory
of the Siege of Gibraltar, which His Majesty
George III. was pleased to receive under
his immediate patronage, and, ever after-
wards, graciously honoured Colonel Drink-
water by his particular notice. Having
completed this work. Colonel Drinkwater
paid the regulated price to return on active
service, and in 1787 joined the 2nd battalion
ot the first or royal regiment of foot, tlien
quartered in his old garrison at Gii)raltar.

During his second residence at Gibraltar
Colonel Drinkwater suggested and carried
into eilect measures necessary for the es-
tabli^sliment of a garrison library, wh'ch was
followed up with sucii spirit and good judg-
ment, as very soon to include a numerous
and highly valuabh^ collection of literature,
on all subjects and in most languages; and
w'liich has since become the model for form-
ing similar establisliments in many British
gairisuns, at home and abroad.

Hostilities with revolutionary France
taking place in 1793, the royal regiment
was detached with otlirr troojjs to reinforce
Toulon, rrccntly occnpii d by Admiral Lord
Hood and the coalesced powers ; and Ge-
neral O'Hara being appointed governor of
that fortress, the XJencral selected Colonel
Drinkwater as his military secretary, and
when General O'Hara was taken prisoner,
he continued to occupy that situation under
General O'Hara's successor, Sir David
Duiidas.

On the evacuation of Toulon in December,

1793, Colonel Drinkwater was present during
the subse<iuent proceedings against the
French troops in Corsica, where Colonel
Drinkwater attended General Dundas, un-
til the French were driven from the is-
land.

When General Dundas returned to Eng-
land, and the command of the army devolved
on Lieutenant-General the Hon. Charles
Stuart, Colonel Drinkwater continued to
fill the situation of military secretary until
Corsica was annexed to the British domi-
nions.

Colonel Drinkwater was then appointed
secretary of the military department in
Corsica, in which capacity he acted until
Corsica was given up in October, 1796.
From 1793 to 1796, Colonel Drinkwater
acted as deputy judge advocate to the
army, and for some time as commissary of
Musters.

On the evacuation of Corsica, the Viceroy
Sir Gilbert Elliot (subsequently created the
Earl of Minto), retired with the army to
Porto Ferajo, in the Island of Elba, and
from thence proceeded on a diplomatic
mission to the Courts of Naples and Eome,
on which occasion. Colonel Drinkwater at-
tended his Excellency. When Sir Gilbert
Elliot returned to Elba, he found Commo-
dore Nelson had been dispatched by Admi-
ral Sir John Jervis to withdraw the British
forces from that station, but such a measure
not being considered expedient, Commodore
Nelson returned to the fleet then off the
coast of Portugal, and Sir Gilbert Elliot
availed himself of the opportunity to accom-
pany the Commodore to confer with the
Admiral on his way to England. Colonel
Drinkwater accompanying his Excellency on
that occasion, was so fortunate as to be pre-
sent in the brilliant action between Admiral
Sir John Jervis's squadron iHul the Spanish
fleet, otf Cape St. Vincent, in February,
1797, the particulars of which (to do honour
to his friend Commodore Nelson's distin-
guished conduct in that engagement) Col.
Drinkwater afterwards published, anony-
mously, under the title of a " Narrative of
the Proceedings of the British Fleet, com-
manded by Admiral Sir John Jervis," on
the 14th February, 1797.

Colonel Drinkwater's official situation at
Toulon having given him an intimate ac-
quaintance with most of the public transac-
tions on that (•on)plicated and embarrassing
service, he had been deputed in 1794 by His
Majesty's Commissioners Lord Hood and
Sir Gilbert Elliot to Leghorn, in order to
receive and investigate the numerous claims
of the Toulonese, for payment of articles
sui>plie(l to llie coalesced powers at Toulon.
On tiiat occasion demands lo the extent of
nearly £50,000 were received by him ; but

havinp; discovored in tlicsc claims, iniuli im-
position and fraud, ('oloncl IJiinkwater
took siicli steps as eventually saved to the
British Government the payment of those
demands. On Colonel Drinkwater's ar-
rival in Enjjland, he was strongly urged to
superintend the arrangement and settlement
of the public aeeounts of the general expen-
diture in Corsica, to which he ultimately
assented, and, in conseciuence, went on
half-pay.

On the renewal of hostilities with France
in 1803, Colonel Drink water deemed it his
duty to take charge of the volunteer corps
of his parish (Ealing, Middlesex), and lie
had afterwards the local rank of colonel
given him with the command of a brigade,
embracing the corps of Kensington, and
those of the intermediate parishes between
London and Twickenham.

In 1805, Colonel Drinkwater was named
with General Sir Hildebrand Oakes, &c.
to be a Member of the Parliamentary Com-
mission of Military Enquiry ; and on Sir
Hildebrand's being appointed Governor of
Malta, succeeded that distinguished officer
in the chair of the board, which Colonel
Drinkwater occupied for upwards of five
years. On the change of Administration
in 1807, Colonel Drinkwater was offered
the situation of Under Secretary of State
in tlie War and Colonial Department, which
he thought i>roper to decline ; as he did also
the otTer of knighthood.

Colonel Drinkwater continued to preside
at the Military Board of Enquiry until 1811,
when His late Majesty A'mr/ Gkorge IV.
then Prince Regent, was graciously pleased
to select him as a fit person to succeed Sir
Willougliby Gordon, in the charge of the
Commissariat Department. This, however,

was finally entrusted to Mr. J. ('. Herries,
the private secretary of the then Prime Mi-
nister (Mr. Percival), and Colonel Drink-
watwr was a|)point<'d to the patent office of
one of the comptrollers of the army ac-
counts.

In 18.34 Colonel Drinkwater had com-
pleted fifty-seven years of public service in
offices of more variety, labour, and respon-
sibility than perhaps it had fallen to the lot
of any other officer then in active employ to
occupy, and on the .'Hst of March following
the department of the Comptrollers of Army
Accounts was abolished, on which occasion
the Lords of the Treasury were pleased to
record on their official minutes, " that the
services of Colonel Drinkwater entitled him
from their long continuance, responsibility,
and importance, and the constant regard to
the public interests with which they have
been executed to their most favorable con-
sideration."

When the Comptrollers' Office was abo-
lished, 31st of March, 1835, Colonel Drink-
water was within a few niontlis of complet-
ing his seventy-third year.

Ilmcnac.

This is a fiunily of oreat antiquity, de-
riving its name from the parish of More,
near Bishops Castle.

Richard dk More, of More, in the pa-
rish of More, and county of Salop, living in
the beginning of the thirteenth century, was
father of

Richard DE More, of More, who married
and had three sons, namely,

I. Roger, of More, living in 1294, as
appears by a charter of that date, in
%vhich Thomas de Montgomery grants
to him and his wife the manor of
Lydham. Roger wedded Alice, dau.
of Adam de Montgomery, and sister
and heir of the said Thomas de Mont-
gomery, but died *. /).

II. William, of whose line we have to
treat.

III. Richard, a priest.

The second son,

William de More, left two sons. Sir
Roger de la More, living in 1370, who suc-
ceeded his uncle in the More estate, but (/.
issueless, and

William de More, father of

William de Moke, of More, in Salop,
and of More House, in Corvedale, which he
inherited from his uncle Sir Roger. He
was living 21 Richard H. and left a son,

Richard More, of More and Larden,
living 11 Henry VI. who m. Agnes Hill,
and their son.

John More, of Larden, who flourislied in
the reign of Henry VII. wedded Joyce As-
ton, and had two sons, William, his heir,
and Richard, ancestor of the Mores, for-
merly of Millichope, in Salop. The elder,
William More, esq. of Larden, in 1491,
in. Elizabeth, daughter of John Berkeley,
and had two sons, viz.
I. Edward, his heir,
n. Thomas, of Nedham, in Suffolk,
whose son,

Robert, returned into Shropshire
and was of Linley ; he was buried
at the More 20th March, 1603-4,
leaving a son,

Richard, of whom presently.
The elder son,

Edward More, esq. of Larden, 8 Henry
VIII. m. Elizabeth, daughter of Edward
Cludde, esq. of Orleton, (for an account of
that ancient Saxon family, see vol. i. p.
483), and had three sons, viz.

Lord Stourton.

III. Eustace,

The eldest son,

father at Larden, married, and left at his
decease a son and successor,

Jasper More, esq. of Larden, who died
in l(il3, leaving three daughters only (one
of whom married Samuel More, the parlia-
mentarian). The More and Larden est;ites

reunited the ancient estates of the family,
being styled of More, Linley, and Larden ;

MORE, OF LINLEY.

lio married a sister of Sir Thomas Harris,
ofBoreattoii, bart. ; was slierilT in 1619, ami
represented the town of Bishop's Castle in
the Long or Fatal Parliament of Charles I.
The paA he took was decidedly anti-mo-
narchial, and he appears early among- tlie
most active partizans of the Parliament witli-
in the county : but he died Gth December,
lfi43, before the triumph of liis party, and
was succeeded by his eldest son,

Samuel Moke, esq. of More, Linley, and
Larden, then forty-nine years of age, who
iulierited his father's principles, or perhaps
influenced them, and took a leading part in
the civil commotions of Shropshire. Wliile
yet but an heir-apparent, he was a member
of what was called the Committee of Par-
liament for Shropshire, whose business it
was to raise money for the good cause, to
seize the property of delinquents, &c., and
whose proceedings are forcibly described
by Sir Robert Howard (colleague of Richard
More, in the representation of Bishop's
Castle) in his comedy of ' The Committee.'
He had scarcely paid the last rites to his
father, when he was called upon to take
the command of Hopton Castle, one of the
few fortresses in Shropshire which were at
that time in the interest of the Parliament ;
its owner, Mr. Wallop, the heir of the
Corbets, as they of the Hoptons, being one
of the fiercest of the republican faction.
The situation of this castle, in a singularly
sequestered valley entirely commanded by
the surrounding hills, seemed to render the
defence of it hopeless ; yet such was the
spirit and vigilance, and so great were
the resources of Mr. More's military talent,
or so low was the art of war at that time,
that, with at the most but thirty-one men,
he was able to hold out this little fortress
for more than a month, against all the
forces which the garrison of Ludlow could
bring against it, though these were some-
times not fewer than five hundred horse
and foot. For this stubborn resistance,
liowever, the men, with the exception of
their commander, paid the forfeit of their
lives ; and though it is impossible, upon
such an incident, not to execrate the lior-
rors of civil warfare, and deplore the un-
timely fate of the gallant little band, yet
Mr. More (whose journal of tliis siege, still
preserved, is a most curious document) does
not venture to deny that the surrender was
wholly unconditional : and it is a kijown
provision of military law, instituted to pre-
vent the unnecessary effusion of human
blood, that the defence of a forfeited place
with numbers so entirely disproportioned
as in the present instance, entitles the cap-
tors to punish the garrison with death.
Subsequent events crowned with success
the party espoused by Colonel More, as he
is generally called ; and lie took a leading

part throughout the Interregnum, in the in-
ternal regulations of Shropshire, of which
he was returned to be one of the four re-
presentatives to the parliament, summoned by
Cromwell for September, 1656. Usurpers
are invariably found to infringe that liberty
which they were raised to guard, and the Pro-
tector, upon this occasion, adopted the extra-
ordinary expedient of excluding by force,
from his House of Commons, all those who
were disapproved by him, or who refused
to receive a ticket of approbation. Colonel
More had the honour to be of this number ;
and, having witnessed the tyranny of un-
lawful sway, he was, perhaps, disposed the
better to acquiesce in the restoration of the
monarchy, which he survived two years.
Notwithstanding his civil and military oc-
cupations, he found time for letters, and, in
1650, published a translation of " Medc's
Clavis Apocali/plica." His first wife, a
daughter of his kinsman, Jasper More,
brought him three children. By a second
marriage he had three sons and four daugh-
ters, one of whom, Anne, married Sir Joliii
Turton, a puisne judge of the King's Bench ;
an union recommended, perhaps, by the
cognate principles of the two families, for
Mr. Turton, the father, was a warm op-
poser of Charles L The sons were,

I. Richard, his heir.

II. Thomas, M.D. died unmarried in
1697, aged 69.

III. Robert, of Linley, who m. Sarah,
daughter of John Walcot, of Walcot,
in Salop, and had an only son,

Robert, successor to his cousin,
Thomas More, of More and
Larden.
The eldest son,

Richard More, esq. of More and Lar-
den, born in 1627, admitted of Gray's-Inn
in 1646, and Member of Parliament for
Bishop's Castle from 1688 to his death, ten
years after ; m. in 1659, Anne, daughter of
Isaac Pennington, whose factious conduct,
as a trumpet of sedition, when Lord Mayor
of London, in 1643, no reader of our his-
tory can forget ; by this lady, from whom
he was divorced, he had no issue. He mar-
ried, secondly, Dorcas Owen, and had, with
a younger son, Richard, slain in battle in
1709, a successor,

Thomas More, esq. of More and Larden,
at whose decease, s. p. in 1731, his estates
passed to his cousin-German, only son of
Robert More, of Linley (third son of Colonel
More),

Robert More, esq. who thus became
seated at Linley. He was a person of con-
siderable attainments, and of a character
far above the common level. He was born
in May, 1703, and in his youth visited
many parts of the continent witli improve-

I7'27 ami 1731, he sato in tlie House o(
Coiiiiiioiis for IJisliop's Castle, lii 1754 he
was eleeted nieinber for the town of Shrews-
hiiry ; but his name does not occur as ever
haviuj^ spoken in the House of Commons,
in wliich he did not retain iiis seat after the
dissolution of parliament. On retiring into
private life, he again einl)arke(l for tiie con-
tinent, traversed Sweden and Denmark,
having- previously explored the interior of
Spain, of which country he saw the capa-
bilities, and lamented the destiny. From
conversations on these subjects, at the table
of Sir Benjamin Neave, the English resi-
dent, he attracted the notice of the Spanish
ministry, who olVered him a guard to pro-
tect him from insult in the course of his
researches ; but this, after some experience
of the attendant trouble and expense, he
found it expedient to decline. He had,
however, the satisfaction of laying the
foundation of some of the most valuable
improvements introduced into that country
previously to the French revolution. The
obligations of Spain to Mr. More are dis-
tinctly acknowledged by Baron Dillon.
Mr. More was an inflexible whig, and was
proud of the exploits of his grandfiither, the
defender of Hopton Castle. His corres-
pondence with a celebrated orator of the
last age is said to have been extremely
characteristic, and proves that his talents
would have shone conspicuously on the
stage of the Great World ; but he culti-
vated retirement, and the sententious preg-
nancy of his works was confined to the
narrow scene of local politics.* Mr. More
was a fellow of the Royal Society. He

The tradition and belief have long pre-
vailed that the MACDOWALsf (for the
" Macdougals of Mackerston" seem of the
same stock, and formerly spelt their sur-
name in the same manner) are descended
from the old lords or princes of Galloway,
who were almost sovereigns in their own
districts, although acknowledging feally to
the crown of Scotland. This impression
received countenance from the exact coin-
cidence of their arms (a lion rampant) and
the christian names of their respective pro-
genitors. Fergus was the first Lord of
Galloway, and not long after we hear of
Uchtred of Galloway, and Duncan, Earl
of Carrick their kinsman, and tlicse are the
very Christian names of the earlier Mac-
dowals. But be the tradition as it may, it

• For the family of Brisbane, refer to vol. ii.
p. 3.S2.

t Occasionally all the Macdowals substituted
" iVIacdougal" for " jMacdowal," but the latter is
by far the more prevalent, and appears the more
correct orthography, and may possiblv have been
preferred in distinction from the " lilacdougals"
of the Highlands, who are a perfectly separate
race.

is now impossible prnpcrh/ to connect (he
latter witii the former, and ascertain the
particular line of descent.

Fergus Macdowill and Dowgal Mac-
DOWYL swear fealty to King Edward III.
among the barons of the shire of Dumfries,
and there are grants not very long after to
persons of the name of Doiigal Macdowel.

Duncan Macdowel was a powerful chief
in Galloway and a person of great celebrity
about the middle of the fourteenth century.
Hostile generally to the Bruces, he inclined
towards the English, on Baliol's interest,
probably with the view of rendering himself
independent in a country which still vene-
rated its ancient line of princes, and ill
submitted to foreign domination. In the
year 1342 he maintained his fortress of Est-
holm, on the coast of Galloway, against the
Scotch, being furnished by the English king
(Edward III.) with ships of war and the
other requisite means of defence ;l but in
1353 William Douglas, the knight of Lid-
dlesdale, having at the head of a strong
force advanced to that quarter, contrived
by dexterous negotiation to detach the chief,
and with him the whole of Galloway from
the English cause, and eventually to induce
them to swear fealty to Kin(/ David II. §

X Amongst the Rotuli Scotiae the folloiving
orders of Edward 111. are extant : — 10th Ajiril,
1342, to dispatch a great ship of war " cum di-
lecto et fideli nostro Duncano IMavdowell ad partes
de Galeweve" with merchandize, &c. for his for-
talice there : l.ith A])ril, same year, to his
lieutenant to succour him if besieged; and 1st
December, also in that j'ear, commanding victuals
to be sent s;>eodily " ad itisulam de Estholm in
Scotia, pro munitione ejusdem, et sustentatione
dilecti et fidelis nostri Duncani Maydowell custo-
dis insule predicte."

IIAY-MACDOUCAL, OF MACKF.HSTON.

431

Tliis Duncan (or Dowjijald as Wiiiton styles
liim) tlicrc is every reason to believe was
the pioi;enifor ot Jlu" " Maidowells oC
Maekerston," as that laniily, it is adniiltcd
upon all hands, was tlie only one of tlie
name known to have settled in Koxburgh-
siiire, and tlie Kii^lish nionareli in tlie year
1363, as well as siil)se(|iiently to Douglas's
expedition, cominands* the sherifV ol Rox-
l)urj;hshire to seize the lands, tenements,
goods, ehatlels, and so forth of this very
i)uncan and his wife, whieh are specifically
stated to be situated within tiiat county, and
were thus attempted to be wrested from
liini iu consequence of his desertion. This
notice of his wife is besides important, as it
will be immediately seen that it was by an
heiress of the name of Mar<;,aret, at that
very time that the Macdowals acquired
Mackerston. The direct and more imme-
diate ancestor however of the family is

Fergus JVIacdowell, of Mackerston, who
fissures after the middle of tlie fourteenth
century, a man of rank and condition, beiiij;
designed " nobilis vir," and who certainly
possessed ample estates in the county of
Roxburgh. Kinf/ Robert II. confirms, 3d
May, 1374, " Fergutio Macdowyllef to-
tam Baroniam de Malcarstone cum perti-
nentiis infra vicecomitatum de Roxburghe
que fuit Margarete Fraser matris ipsius
Fergusii et quam ipsa Margarete nobis sur-
sum reddidet," &c. And there is another
charter of the same date confirming to him
the entire baronies of Yhelthone and Crip-
ton (Clifton) also on the resignation of
Margaret Fraser, his mother, and to be
held " in liberas integras et disctinctas Ba-
ronias faciendo inde servitia delicta et con-
sueta." In this manner Fergus inherited
from his mother three separate baronies. |

• Order dated 18th August, 1353. The mo-
tive for the seizure is thus assigned : — " Quia
Duncanus Macdowaille contra fidelitatem et sua-
mentum nobis per ipsum prestita, Scotis inimicis
nostris contra nos jam adhesit," &c. — Rob. Scot.

t This is the first notice of the surname of the
Mackerston family.

t Two important inferences may be drawn
from these deeds, First, Tliat the Macdowals of
Mackerston had a better riglit to be considered
the eldest, and perhaps, principal stock of the
Macdowels, as tliey were not only originally
baronial, and independent, but became distin-
guished earlier than any of the tliree families who
contended for the chieftainship last century :
these were tlie Macdowels (Macdowals) of Garth-
land, Logan, and French. The Macdowals of
Garthland could not condescend upon any written
evidence prior to 1413, when they first appear,
only as vassals to the Douglases, from whom at
the time they acquired Garthland ; and tlie other
two were obliged to resort to proof of no retro-
spective eflect of a much later date. Second,
That the Macdowels acquired Mackerston, 6oc.

This Fergus left two sons, namely Ughtred,
(the younger), to whom and his heirs he
griintcd an annual rent of twenty merks
" de \illa de Malcerstiin," which was con-
firmed by Robert II. on the 3rd March,
13H4 ; and the elder, his heir.

Sir DrN(;,M, Macdowee, of Makerston.
In an old inventory at Mackerston there is
mention of " ane charter be Robert, King
of Scotland, to Dougal Macdougail, son*-
of ye said Fergus of tlu; barronic; of Mack-
erston, dated '24 .luiie, et rtgiii sui 12." It
is not practicable to fix the precise date of
this charter, owing to the oinission by what
Robert the grant was made ; it was pro-
bably, however, by the seiond of the name,
ill which evwiit the time wouhl be in 131S4.
Sir Dungal left a son and heir.

Sir Archibald Macdowell, of Macker-

in the person of the fatlier of Fergus — whose
surname at least must have been Macdowel — by
his marriage with Margaret Frazer, an heiress,
who brought the baronies of Mackerston, Yhel-
thone and Clifton, in Roxburghsiiire. The
Frazers were of old standing in the south, where
they first figured liefore jjroceeding to the north ;
and it is in virtue of this alliance that the INIac-
dowals of Mackerston conjoin the " frais," the
arms of Fraser, with their paternal coat, " the
lion of Galloway."

In Robertson's Index, containing entries of
many old and autlientic charters formerly exist-
ing, but now lost, there is one by David II. (who
reigned from 13^'.) to 1371) to IMAncAnET Cor-
bet, Larfi/ flf Maccriiston, of an annual rent due
out of Mackerston forfeited by William Beaton.
This proves tliat Margaret Corbet was, at tliat
time, heiress of Mackerston ; and we have an
entry previously about a Margaret Corbet, who
complains to Robert the Bruce of the murder of
Sir Gilbert Frazer, her husband. Combining,
therefore, these various circumstances, the exist-
ence before the middle of the fourteenth cen-
tury, of Margaret Corbet, heiress of Mackerston,
the marriage then of Margaret Corbet witli Sir
Gilbert Frazer, and the subsequent appearance of
a Margaret Frazer, heiress of Mackerston, we
may be led to the ancestry of the latter, who was
the mother of Fergus Macdowall, and conclude
that she was no other than the child of Sir Gil-
bert Frazer by Margaret Corbet, of Mackerston,
and that she succeeded in her right to the pro-
perty. Some time after the death of Sir Gilbert
Fraser, Margaret Corbet, " Domina de Malker-
ston," as she is expressly designed in the
Rotuli Scotia^ married Patrick Charteris ; and
in 1334 Kdward III. issues an order for re-
storing both to their estates in terms of certain
conditions that Jiad been entered into between
Fvdward Boliun, David, Earl of Athol, and Pa-
trick, relative to the surrender of Lochmaben
Castle. The connection of JNIargaret in this
manner through her said husband, with Gal-
loway (that county then comprising great part of
DumfrieshireX and influence of the family of
Charteris in tliat quarter may possibly have led
to tlie marriage of Iier daughter, Margaret Frazer,
with a Macdowell.

HAY-MAC DOUG AL, OF MACKERSTON.

ston, wlio obtained from Robert III. (wlio
reigned from 13L>0 to 1406) ;i confirmation
of the family estates, consisting- of the lands
of Mackcrston, Yetholine and Elistone (Clif-
ton) in Roxburgshire. And on the 17th
March, 1430, there is the continuation of a
charter (dated 14th November, 1411) by Sir
Archibald to Ughtred Macdowel, younger
son of Fergus, in which he is designed
*' Patricio Archibald Macdowel militis," of
twenty husband lands in the village of
Mackerston, in lieu of the twenty merks
of annual rent vvhicli are stated to Jiave
been granted him " per nobilem virum
Ferguisium Macdowell patrem predicti Uch-
tredi, et dominum Dungallum patrem pre-
dicti Archibaldi, dominos quondam de
Malcarston." In this charter tliere are
some curious allusions to localities. The
limits of the husband lands are defined from
the western part of the cemetery of the
church of St. Peter of Mackerston towards
Abboihill in the southern part of the vil-
lage. The village of Mackerston was for-
merly more populous than at present ; the
monks of Kelso alone had there twelve cot-
tages, each having a tuft and half an acre
of land, &c., and they had at the same time
a brew-house. On this Chalmers remarks,
" Those ancient establishments (the reli-
gious houses) raised and maintained a more
eflicient population than our modern sys-
tem." Sir Archibald Macdowell aggran-
dized his family by another baronial alliance,
having married Euphemia Gilford, one of
the daughters and coheirs of Sir Hew Gif-
ford, of Yestor, by whom he left

DuNG.ALL Macdowall, of Mackerston,
Yester, &c., to whom and his heirs, Robert
Duke of Albany confirms, on the 11th
March, 1409, the baronies of Yester, Dun-

in the shires of Edinburgh, Forfar, and
Perth, upon the resignation of " Euphemia

April, 1441, upon the resignation of his
father, " Dungall Macdowall, of Mackers-
ston," (of whom he is designated the eldest
son), a royal charter of Yester Duncanlau
and Morham, in East Lothian, to him and
Elizabeth Hay, his wife, and their heirs.
He left, by this lady, a son and successor,

DtngalMacdowlll, sixth laird of Mack-
erston, Yester, Giffordgate, Teyling, Pol-
gavie, &c. who obtained, 12th August 1463,
from his cousin, William Maxwell, of Tey-
ling, (descended of another Giflord, co-
heiress), his fourth i)art of the baronies of
Yester, Duncanlau, Morham, and Giflord-
gate, and that in excambion for those por-
tions of th» Giflord inheritance, Teyling and

Polgavie, which are said in the deed of con-
veyance to have been the property " quon-
dam Dungalli avi sui." There are various
notices of this Dungal or Dongal (which are
the same) upon record, and he ajjpears to
have had litigations with the Hays of Yester
and the Kerrs of Cessford, ancestors of the
dukes of Roxburghe, after the middle of tiie
fourteenth century. Sir David Hay, of
Yester, pursued him the 20th May, 1474, for
maintaining possession of the Castle of Mor-
ham, in East Lothian, and it was decided
tiiat Dungal should deliver it to Sir William,
the Hay of Morham, (evidently Sir William,
of Folia), and receive in return the lands of
Limplum Barro, and Duncanlau. This ar-
rangement, however, never took place.
Dungal's plea may be easily discovered.
He was entitled, as a Gifi'ord co-heir, and
probably as the second, to the next principal
castle and mansion after Yester, and there-
fore to Moreham,* which, however, it was
the interest of the Hays to secure, who ac-
cordingly off'ered him certain lands in ex-
change for it, and the neighbouring property.
Walter Ker, of Coverton, afterwards Cess-
ford, 8th March, 147S, summoned "Dougall
Macdowell, of Makarstoun," as a party in a
civil suit. Dungal, who was alive in 1498,
left at his decease, a son and heir,

Andrew Macdowall, of Mackerston,
Yester, Duncanlau, Sec. who on the 3rd Feb.
1477, as " son and apparent heir of Dungal
Macdowell, of Mackerston," was put in the
fee " Baroniarum" of the estates of his
family. He m. EuphemiaHepburn, daughter
of Patrick, then Lord Hailes, but afterwards
raised to the digTiity of Earl of Bothwell,
great grandfather of the notorious James,
Earl of Bothwell. This lady he survived;
for before the year 1498, he was engaged in
another matrimonial all'air, which ended un-
towardly. In that year, Walter Ker, of
Cessford, pursues Dongal Macdowel, of
Maccarston, " for the payment of a hundred
pounds, in ye quhilk Dougall Macdowel was
bound, after ye forme of contract of ane in-
denture maid betwixt him and ye said Wal-
ter for non-fulfilling of cerlaine appunct-
ments after ye forme of ye said indenture."
Walter is ordered by the court to prove
what costs he had incurred in the matter,
" except ye availe of ye marriage of Andro
Macdowell, ye son and apperande are to ye
said Dongal, quhilk suld haife beine cou-
pleted between him and Elizabeth Ker, eld-
est daughter to ye said Walter, quhilk sal
not be." This is all that has been trans-
mitted of the matter. Andrew had been in
possession of tlie estates as successor to his
father, before the 2stli May, 1505 ; for under
that date, as laird of Mackerston, he is wit-

* Moreliam is contiguous to Yester and was a
j)art indubitably of the old Gifford inheritance.

IIAY-MACDOUGAL, OV MACKF.RSTON\

lU'SS to a (ItM'tl upon record. Aboiil llio close
of the tifteeiitli century, it would appear
tliat the Macdowels of Mackerstou had at-
tained the lieight of tlieir grandeur, being-
flien proprietors of a great estate, well al-
lied, and of baronial rank: but on the 26th
Feb. 1490, they ceased to possess the baro-
nies in Fast Lotliian, for on that date, An-
drew, who, as we have seen, liad been pnt
in possession of the fee, alienated these
lands to Patrick, Ea rl of Bothwell, his father-
in-law, who afterwards niiide tliem over to
the Hays of Tester.* Andrew Macdowel
continued to live down to the 26th August,
1508, as appears by a royal charter upon
record, but the time of his death has not
been ascertained. The next heir and chief
of the family, who can be traced, is

Thomas MACDOt'OAL, of Mackerstou, who
flourished before and after the middle of the
sixteentii century. He is mentioned in the
acts of parliament in 1545. There is every
reason to believe he was the sou and heir of
Andrew ; at least his heir, although it must
be admitted, that in no legal authority yet
found is he so designed. Still, however,
nothing militates against the conceived re-
lationship. He m. Janet, daughter and heir
of Walter Scot, of Howfaslet, a distinguished
family, from wiioni Lord Napier, the Scots
of Thirlstane, and others of note, are des-
cended, and had three sons and a daughter,
viz.

James, his heir.

1571, wherein he directs his " corps to be
buried in the queir of Maccerston ;" appoints
James Macdowell, and Thomas Macdowell,
( " my sons") executors : and Sir John Ed-
monstone, of that ilk, Gilbert Ker, Andro
Ker, son and heir of Gilbert Ker, of Prime-
sideloch, &c. their overmen, and enjoins
Thomas and Richard to renunce and gif the
kirkland of Mackerston " to James, my eld-
est sone, to remain with the hous," that is,
house or family of Mackerston. This will
was confirmed by the commissaries of Edin-
burgh, 27th Feb. 1575. The will contains a
long and curious list of his effects and move-
ables, as well as of his debts. The only lands
alluded to are those of Mackerston, and
Lugtonlaw, which latter estate he may have
acquired with the heiress of Howfaslet, but
there is no mention of the old family pos-

From anything yet discovered there was no

Thi.s family s]»rang originally from the
H\YS of Falla or Linipluni, who may be
regarded as tlie eldest collateral branch of
the noble house of Tweeddale.

Sir William Hay, of Locherwort and
Yester, who lived early in the fifteentii cen-
tury, left, by Alicia Hay his wife, two sons,
viz.

I. David (Sir), who inherited Yester,*
and was ancestor of the Lords Hay,
of Yester, and of the Earls and Mar-
quesses of Tweeddale.

II. Edmund, founder of the branches
of Falla and Limplum.

The younger son,

Edmund Hay, of Falla and Limplum, is
frequently to be traced upon record. He
had, 12th August, 1429, a grant from Sir
David Hay, of Yester, of the lands of
Thalek (Falla), in the barony of Oliver
Castle and county of Peebles, wherein he is
designed " Brother German of Sir David."
He had also a charter, 4th February, 1438-9,
i'rom Isabella de Forresta or Forrester, with
consent of James de Wedeele, her son, of
half of the lands of Wandrews ( part of Dun-
canlaw), and another, 15th May, 1439 under
the discretion of "Edmund Hay, of Falla,"
of Kyppling or part of Limplum, and both
were confirmed by a royal charter, dated
16th November, 1439. A charter, 23rd
February, 1449, by " Alicia Hay, relict of
the deceased William Hay, of Yester, knt.
to God and the altar of Saint Mary, in the
collegiate church of St. Bothans or Yester,
is witnessed * Edmundo de llava de Lim-

* The genealogists of Scotland, Douglas, Wood,
nnd Crawfurd, are manifestly in error regarding
the pedigree of the Hays, of Yester. They affirm
ihat Sir William Ha}' married, /7/-.v(, Johanna Gif-
ford, eldest daughter and co-heir of Sir Hew
Oifford, of Yester, and by that lady was father of
Sir Uavid; and that Edmund was the offspring
of a second marriage witli Alicia Hay. And fur-
thei-more, they make Sir \\ illiani liimself the son
of Sir Thonras Ifav, of Locherwort, hy Christian,
sister of Cardinal Wardlaw. lUit that they are
(|uite incorrect is evident, from an act of parlia-
ment ill 1(3()1 narrating various ancient writs,
;'nd among others the following: " A confirma-
tion granted be Johanna Hay, spousu, of unuju-
liill Sir Thomas Hay, of Loucliquerant, eldest
daughter and one of the airs of um(|uhill Hew
Ciiffart. Domini de Yester William Hay, of
T.nucht:;uerwart, her sonne and air, &c. of certain
infeftments, &c. Sasine granted be Johanna (iif-

Knt. of the lands of Lettington, conform to the
charter granted be the said Hew to tlie said um-
(|uhill Sir Robert IMaitland, &c. dated at Had-
dington, first Decembris, 1399.''

Hence, so far from Sir William Hay having es-
]ioused Johanna Giftbrd, she was the wife of a
totally different person, and indeed ho could not
have done so, the ladv being his mother ; neither
(lid Johanna, as they pretend, predecease her lord
of Locherwort to make room for Alicia Hay, for
she is now proved to have survived him. Again,
not content with marrying Johanna to her son

p\nm, Jilio meo,'" and it also l)t'nrs especial
mention of Sir David Hay, of Ycstir, as
the son of Alicia. The name of Kdniund's
wife was Annabella, accordiii}; to Father
Hay, a distinguished anticiuarian and des-
cendant of tlie family, sister of the aspiring
but unfortunate Thomas Jioyd, Earl of Ar-
ran. " Edmund de la Haye, of Fallow,
and Annabell his wife, had a grant, 9th
December, 1449, of the marriage of Wil-
liam Maxwell, son and heir of the deceased
William Maxwell, of Teyling." Edmund
left a son and heir,

Sir William Hay, of Tallo and Lim-
plum. This laird pursued, 13th October,
1466, Sir David Hay, of Tester, " for with-
holding from him the lands of Morham,
called Boyd's quarter and Limplum," and
the lords' auditors of parliament decided
that he should possess these lands in terms
of the tack made, " be Robert Lord Boyde
to umquhile Edmond ye Hay, of Tallo, and
his aieris ye farder of ye saide Wilzaume."
It may be here observed, that beside Jo-
hanna and Euphemia Gilford, who have been
noticed, there were two other co-heirs of
Giftord, one of whom is stated to have mar-
ried Robert Boyd, of Kilmarnock, which
accounts for the latter having had a quarter
of Morham, called '* Boyd's Quarter," and
an interest in the rest of the Gilford succes-

who was her real husband, they have had the
cruelty to deprive the former of his genuine pa-
rent altogether, and to substitute in her place
one Catherine Wardlaw, sister of a cardinal, but
whatever lustre the reflected dignity of his emi-
nence might have shed upon the family of Hay,
of Yester, this Catherine was not only an utter
stranger to them, but there is every reason to be-
lieve viras a mere nonentity. Both Edmund and
his eldest brother David therefore were spruno-
from their grandmother Johanna, eldest dauo-hter
and co-heir of Sir Hew Gilford, of Yester, from
the ancient Norman family of that name, which
produced the noted magician, -^ and possessed the
baronies of Yester, Morham, and Uuncanlaw, in
East Lothian and Tayling and Poldame, in the
county of Perth and Forfar. It was by means of
this alliance that the Hays, of Locherwart and
Oliver Castle, acquired part of Yester, and it is
not a little remarkable that by the marriage of Sir
George Hay Macdougall, hart, (descended of the
above Edmund), in the last century, with the
heiress of Makdougal, of Makerston, the blood of
the two sisters became united, as tlie latter familv
were lineal heirs of Euphemia GifTard, younger
sister of Johanna, and a co-heir in the saiiie inhe-
ritance.

t Every one is acquainted with this chief of
the house of Gifford smce the appearance of Mar-
mion. Fordun thus speaks of him in noting his
death in 1267 : " Hugo Giftord, de Yester, mori-
tur cujus castrum vel saltern caveam et dongio-
n em arte demoniacula antiqua> relationes fuerunt
fabricatas," &c. vol. ii. p. 105.

sion, which not being entailed descended at
common law to the four daughters, as heirs
portion«'rs. The fourth and remaining sister
and co-heir married Eustace Maxwell, the
marriage of whose son and heir, William,
as has been shewn was granted in 1449 to
Edmund Hay, of Tallo. Sir William died
previously to 16th October, 1479, when Mar-
garet Mowbray *' ye S])onse of unuiuhill
Sir William ye Hay, of Tallo, knt," pur-
sues Anabile Boid (in all probability his
mother-in-law) and Gawan Creichton, for
ejecting herself and servants from the land.s
of Limplum, and eating and destroying her
corn and meadows, and obtained a decision
in her favour. Sir William Hay was s. by
his son,

William Hay, of Tallo and Limplum,
who had been infeft into the latter estate
prior to the 23rd October, 1490. His wife
was Margaret Cockburn,whom Father Hay
states to have been of the Cockburns of
Henderland. The next chief of the family,

William Hay, of Tallo, was probably
the son and heir of that marriage. He
figures as head upon record in 1528, when,
on the 3rd April in that year, George Hay,
of Menziane, brought an action before the
official of St. Andrews against " an honour-
able man, William Hay, the laird of Tallo."
This chief wedded Janet Spottiswoode, who,
according to Father Hay, was daughter of
the Laird of Spottiswoode, and had issue,

John, of Tallo, his successor, whose
line it is not requisite to trace fur-
ther, our object being confined to the
descendants of his youngest brother,
William. It may be interesting
however to state that he married Ja-
net Hepburn, and had two sons, John
and William ; John was the unfor-
tunate person who, allied in blood to
the Heplnirns and their chief the
Earl of Bothwell, was employed by
that unprincipled nobleman as a tool
in the perpetration of the murder of
Darnley, and was the person who
lighted the match which caused the
explosion. His death in 1568, before
that of his father and grandfather,
saved the estates from the penalties
of his treason, and the succession
eventually opened to his younger
brother, William, who, in 1.586, is
designed "William Hay, of Luni-
pluin, son and air of umquhill John
Hay, of Tallo." Not long after this
the principal branch lost their es-
tat('S,and gradually dwindling away,
fell into such obscurity that no trace
of them in the male line can be dis-
covered.

The obituary of Robert Boyd, of Trockrio-,
states that Mr. William Hay de Barro, whom
it also makes commissary of Glasgow, died
at the beginning of May, 1618, subsequent
to which Barra and the male representation
appear to have devolved upon his brother,

Sir John Hay, of Barra and Lauds, lord
clerk register, who was a lawyer, and man
of abilities, and sufficiently distinguished in
the turbulent times in which he lived. While
very young he was employed by the city of
Edinburgh to welcome Kiiiff James I. at
the Westport, in the name of the town,
which commission he executed in an ele-
gant oration, still preserved in a work called
the "Muse's Welcome." He became an
ordinary senator of the college of justice,
and lordof tiie council and exchequer: and
after the death of Sir John Hamilton, knt.
of Magdalens, was preferred (8th January,
1633) to be Lord Register. He had re-
ceived the honour of knighthood from Kino
Charles I. 9th March, 1632. He was one
of Balmenno's assizers, and things be-
coming troublesome in 1641, he resigned
all his offices into the king's liands His
dismission is signed the 17th July, 1641
He was subsequently accused of treason,
sent to the castle of Edinburgh, tried by the

estates, and ultimately acquitted. After
these events Sir John remained quiet until
Montrose came south, when he joined him,
and was taken prisoner at the battle of
Philiphaugh, when his life was placed in
jeopardy, but a bribe to the Earl of Lanark
averted the danger. He subsequently sunk
into repose and comparative obscurity,* and

" a charitable assistant to my Lady

with whom it was thought he was

The representation and lands of thcMAi.-
VEYSiNS, being now in tlie iainily of Chad-
wick, we sliali tonuiience willi tliat ancient
family. " For the orij;in of the name and
family of Malvoisin," says Shaw, in his
History of Statl'ordshire. "we must refer to
the puissant host of our Norman conqueror,
to the splendid genealogies of the ancient
French nobility, and tiie formidable works
of war in remote ages of chivalry and ro-
mance. Our old historians inform us, that
when a besieging army erected a tower or
castle near the place besieged, such castle
was called, in French, a malvoisin ; signify-
ing that it was a duiujerovs neighbour to the
enemy, because it threatened to cut him ofl"
from all possibility of relief. In the northern
but fruitful district of the Isle of France,
situate in the confines of the Gastinois, and
not very far from the hanks of the Seine,
some time stood one of these awful bulwarks,
from which it is presumed the neighbouring
and illustrious Lords of Rosny first assumed
the name of Malvoisin ; a name standing
proudly conspicuous in the ancient French
records of feudal grandeur, and which may
be traced amongst the nations of Europe, in
succeeding ages, by various acts of munifi-
cent piety and romantic valour. Of this
family was Sampson Mauveisin, Archhis'iop
of Rheims, and the renowned SirGuyMau-
\ oisin, who fought under the banner of St.
Louis against the Saracens of Egypt; but
the head of this house, in the eleventh cen-
tury, was that venerable chief Raoul Mau-
veisin, surnamed Le Barbu, living, in 1080,
at the seigniory of Rosny, near the city of
Mantes, and ranking amongst the principal
seigniors of the county. The names of liis
sons, Robert and Hugo, and his grandson,
William, w ho fell in battle, may remind us
of the same favourite and distinguished
names, so familiar in the pedigree of our
Anglo-Norman line at Ridware ; and it is
natural to expect that some individual of
this powerful race would, on that memo-
rable day when the Normans invaded Eng-
land, be ambitious to draw his sword at the
call of Duke William, his neighbour, and
probably his feudal lord ; accordingly, it
appears, by the roll of Battle Abbey, that
JNIalvesyn was one of those ' two hundred
and sixty knights, famous in the Conque-
ror's army,' who fought in his cause at
Hastings, and by whose means lie won the
crown of England, the name being thus
recorded among the rest of those bold ad-
venturers—

' Danvey et Devesyn,
Malure et Malvcsyn.'

Having braved all the dangers, and, there-
fore, having a right to share the spoils of
victory, Malvesyn would be eager to fix his
residence on some of the conquered lands ;
an<l we are assured, by uniform tradition,
that his valour was rewarded with a grant
of the lordship of Rideware ; which was
held, probably by this Norman knight, under
the Montgomeries, Norman Earlsof Shrews-
bury, by the kniglitly tenure of bearing
arms against the Welsh. But there were
other lands of which he got possession,
seemingly at the same early period, and
which were likewise held under the same
barony, by the same military service;
amongst which was the lordship of Bere-
wicke (juxta Allingham), in Shropshire ;
and as the leading branch of this family
gave their name to the seigniory of Mauve-
syn Rosny, in France, so these two younger
branches communicated the same name to
their respective lordships oi' Mauvesyn Rid-
ware and Maiivesifn Berwick, in England ;
which became their principal places of abode,
and where they long continued to'flourish,
in the days of our Henrys and the Edwards,
a kuightry gallant race in the age of gal-
lantry ; foremost, like their Norman kin-
dred," in deeds of arms and works of piety.
Indeed, these Lords of Rideware and Bere-
wicke may be said to have lived in arms ;
each stationed near the borders of Wales,
and holding his domains under the same
Baron Marcher, by the hardy tenure of
border service, they would find it no easy
task to defend what' their common ancestor
had won by the sword."

Henry Malveysin, son probably of the
Norman, must have been born in the Con-
queror's reign, being of sufiicient age in the
year 1100 to attest the foundation grant of
William Fitzalan to the Abbey of Haghmon,
in Shropshire. He is presumed to have
been father of

Hugo de Malveysin, of Rideware, living
in the times of Henky I. and Stephen.
He died earlv in the succeeding reign, and
was buried, according to tradition, under an
arch in the north wall of his manorial
churcli, where his bones, stone coffin, and
effigy still remain. He left issue,

I. Hugo, who is supposed to have put
on the cowl and to have died a monk.

II. William (Sir), his father's heir.

III. Hugo, first parson of Rideware
church.

The second son,

Sir William Malvfysin, Lord of Ride-'
ware in the reigns of Henry XL, Richard,

■MO

CHADWICK, OF MAVESYN-RIDWARE.

;iiul John, seems to have had three sons and
one daughter, viz.

I. Hugo, of whom nothing is known.

II. Henry, successor to his father.

III. William, Rector of Rideware Mau-
veysyn. There is no proof that this
William was the William Malvoisin,
Bishop of Glasgow, translated thence
to St. Andrew's, 4th John, holding a
council at Perth, to promote a cru-
sade, in the 13th of the same reign,
attending a grand council at Rome
four years after this, and dying temp.
Henry mi. after having governed
his church with great wisdom and
felicity.

I. Sarah, m. to Sir William de Kileby,
of Kileby, in Leicestershire.
Sir William was succeeded by his son.

Sir Henry Malveysin, kt., Lord of Ride-
ware, living in the reigns of Richard I.
John, and Henry HI. who also possessed
lands in Great Casterton, in the county of
Rutland. He m. a lady named Matilda,
and, dying before the 42nd of Henry HI,
was succeeded by his son,

Sir Robert Malveysin, of Rideware-
Malveysin and Great Casterton, whom, in
the 40th Henry III. we find recorded by
the name of " Rob'tus de Redware," amongst
those gentry of Staffordshire who were
possessed of one knight's fee, or more,
but were not created knights ; he then
compounding, for half a merk, to have
respite from knighthood. But though he
was not " miles gladio cinctus," an honour
which became a burthen to tiie military
tenants, yet, being possessed of an entire
knight's fee, he was by hereditary succes-
sion a knight by tenure, bound to perform
knight's service, by serving in the wars,
well arrayed, and furnished in all points.

As far as it can be judged from deeds,
S. D. Sir Robert died before 51 Henry III.
in those days when much blood was spilled
in Wales, and in the barons' wars. He
left a son, Henry, Lord of Rideware-Mave-
syn ; and, as I take it, a second son, Roger,
who had lands in Rideware-Mavesyn in
1291 and 1306 ; in which he was succeeded
by his son William, living in 1337, who
had a son John, not named after 1399.

Sir Henry Malveysin, knt. (the croi-
sader), eldest son and heir of Sir Robert,
" fil & here's Roberti Malveisin," lived in
the reigns of Henry III. Edward I. and
Edward II. and was Lord of Rideware-
Mauveysyn ; but being under age at his
f;itlier's death, he and his lands there were,
for a time, under the wardship of Sir John
Fitz-Alan.

Sir Henry began his career at a turbu-
lent period, when the rebellious barons
were up in arms, and when Fitz-Alan, with

whom he was bound to serve, fought alter-
nately for Leicester and the King. By the
tenure of his lands, also, he must have
toiled amongst the mountains of Wales
when Llewellyn was subdued. That he
was a knight in the reign of Edward I. using
three bendlets as his seal of arms, and that
he was a knight-croisader, who bore in
battle three bendlets on his shield, in the
Scottish wars, and in a glorious croisade, is
proved by record and by his monumental
effigy. His eldest son and heir.

Sir Robert Malveysin, knt. (the Fores-
ter) " filius p'mogenitus," lived in the
reigns of Edward I. II. and III. and was
Lord of Rideware-Malveysin and Shipley,
having some manorial rights, as well as
lands in Great Casterton and Exton, and
lands also in Parva Rideware, Colton,
Rugeley, Handsacre, and Heynton. By
his second wife, a daughter of Sir John de
Freford, he had several children, and was
succeeded by his third son,

Thomas Mauveysin, the two elder sons
having predeceased their father, s. p. This
Thomas was Lord of Rideware-Mauveysiu
in the reign of Edward III. but was not a
knight. He was succeeded by his only son
and heir.

Sir Robert Mauveysin, knt. Lord of
Rideware-Mauveysin and Shippeley, who
lived in the reigns of Edward III. Richard
II. and the beginning of Henry IV. Temp.
Richard II. this Robert alienated consider-
able lands, by deed of gift, to his uncle,
Rese Mauveysin, on payment of one red
rose annually. It does not appear for what
purpose this was done, though the lands of
Bragge Casterton are never after mentioned
in the Mauveysin Rideware deeds. Sir Ro-
bert was thrice appointed sheriff for the
county.

" In relating the fatal contest (says Shaw)
between Mauveysin and his neighbour
Handsacre, it must not be forgot that great
animosities are said to have prevailed in
former times between the inhabitants of the
parts lying north and south of the Trent ;
but it was in a dispute concerning the privi-
leges of their adjoining royalties that the
seeds of discord seem to have been sown ;
which being encouraged by the fierce man-
ners of a barbarous age, the rancour of
party, and the fury of rebellion, was to be
terminated only by fire and sword, blood-
shed and death. We find that in 5 Rich-
ard II. Sir Robert Mauveysin leased to one
John Hamoud, fisherman, for life, all that
part of his fishery in the Trent called Bryg-
gevvatir, between Hondsacredom and Oxen-
holme Pole, at the annual rent of 12*. with
liberty to use all sorts of nets, except a codde-
net. But that this was any annoyance, or
gave any umbrage to Handsacre does not
appear, though it is likely the fisherman and

the miller niiglit disugree ; iiiul Robert MuU-
ner, of this very mill, the lJrit>f;eimiln, ap-
pears afterwards at the Court of Rideware
Mauveysin. The middle of the southern
stream, on which this mill and dam were si-
tuated, was and is, by the testimony of the
oldest inhabitants of Mavcsyn Ridware, and
their ancient and accustomed perambula-
tions, the true boundaries of the two parishes
and royalties ; such part, therefore, of the
premises, whether mill, dam, or floodgates,
as projected beyond the middle of the stream,
must abut upon the manor of Ridware Mave-
syn. But a mill and fishery were in those days
the necessary appendages of such manors ;
and their privileges in such a situation were
likely to affect in some degrees the two ad-
joining royalties. Accordingly, it appears
that a dispute arose, which ended in an open
rupture ; for in 1 Henry IV. there was a
violent affray, when Malveysin's adherents
burnt and destroyed the mill ; Lawrence de
Frodeley, one of Handsacre's people, being
slain in the tumult.

But it seems their animosity was mutually
inflamed by civil war and the great national
cause. This aftray having happened about
the time when Henry of Bolingbroke landed
in England to claim the crown, in whose
retinue came Malveysin's superior, Fitz-
Allan, earl of Arundel, — it is likely, there-
fore, tbat Sir Robert Malveysin, having
armed to join Henry, thought this a favour-
able moment for attacking Handsacre, who
favoured the opposite side ; and though the
latter was obliged to give way after the ruin
of his party, when Henry IV. mounted the
throne, yet he gladly obeyed the first signal
of revolt, confident of success in the cause of
Hotspur.

The oldest account we have seen of this
deadly feud, is one in Latin, in the British
Museum, from which the following is taken :

" The river Trent flows with a clear stream,
by Mavesin-Ridware, so called because on
its northern bank is situated the ancient in-
heritance of the Malveysins. The inhabi-
tants say that a jealousy subsisting between
the families of Mavesin and Handsacre, it so
happened when Henry IV. had obtained the
crown of England from Richard II. and it
was rumoured that Percy, earl of Northum-
berland, was in arms against the King, Mau-
veysin had ridden forth, with six or seven of
his vassals, on the part of King Henry ; it
chanced also that Handsacre, who espoused
the opposite cause, had left home the same
day, with an equal number of attendants, to
join Percy. These rivals met, and, in-
flamed with rage, rushed furiously to bat-
tle.

Handsacre was slain ; and the victorious
Mauveysin, proud of his conquest, marching
forward to Shrewsbury, there lost his life,
fighting valiantly for the King. Thus fell

Sir Itobert Malveysin, July 22nd, )40;},
bleeding in his sovereign's cause, and breath-
ing in his last cfl'orts tlie undaunted spirit of
liis Norman ancestors. Thus comjueririff
fell the last representative of an ancient va-
liant race, which first entered England in
arms, ranged under the Conqueror's banner ;
and, after toiling in the paths of glory for
more than three centuries, honourably fin-
ished its career on the field of victory. His
body being conveyed to Maveysin-Ridware,
was there interred, in the cemetry of his an-
cestors, and over it was erected an altar-
tomb in the middle of the chapel, decorated
with his efligy, with a suitable inscription,
which still remains.

By his wife Johanna, (presumed to be) a
daughter of Chetwynd, of Ingestrie, he left
two daughters, Elizabeth, aged fourteen
years, and Margaret, aged eleven years.
The younger became the wife of Sir William
Handsacre, knt. (descended from the kings
of Scotland), " to whom she brought her
purparty, as a recompense for the death of
his father, slain by hers." " And what a pic-
ture is this of the manners of the age !" Thus
joyfully terminated an unhappy feud, in a
manner which might have been no less
agreeable to the dead than it was to the liv-
ing ; for Sir Robert might have exclaimed
to the vanquished Handsacre :

" This earth which bears the dead.
Bears not alive a better gentleman."

And we shall find hereafter that the repre-
sentatives of these once rival houses were
united by marriage a second time.

Elizabeth Malveysin, the eldest daugh-
ter, espoused first, in 18th Richard II.
Roger, the son and heir of Sir William de
Chetwynd, of Ingestrie, knt. (by Alina St.
Paul, his wife) ; but this Roger died soon
after, without issue ; when his widow married
Sir John Cawarden, knt. of an ancient Che-
shire family, and they had, with other issue,
a son,

John Cawarden, esq. who lived in the
reign of Henry VI. and Edward IV. and
succeeded to his mother's lands at Mauvey-
syn-Rydeware, being also lord of Shipley,
and having other lands in Pipe Rideware
and Haynton. He married Katharine, the
daughter of Sir John Gresley, of Drakelow
and Colton, knt. of the Bath, by Mary, his
wife, dau. of Sir Thomas Clarell. This lady
predeceased her husband, leaving issue, and
he wedded secondly Margaret, dau. of Sir
William Boteler, knt. by whom he had no
children. He died 7th July, fifteenth Ed-
ward IV. and was *. by his son,

John Cawarden, esq. who was of age in
17th Edward IV. He married Elizabeth,

county of Chester, and they had issue, seven

and therefore she bore the royal arms,

Ridware, which he held under Queen Eliza-
beth, by knight's service, as of her manor
of Oswestry. He was allied in blood as well
to Sir William Handsacre as to Sir Robert
Malveysin, those once rival houses having
been united in marriage a second time, in the
persons of his father and mother. By Anne,
his wife, who m. secondly Henry Burwey,

alios, a son and successor,

Lewis Chadwicke, esq. of Mavesyn-Rid-
ware, b. in 1596, who also possessed lands
in Lichfield and Stafford, and at Edingale,
in Derbyshire. At the breaking out of the
civil wars, he took up arms in the service of
the Parliament, being lieu. -colonel of horse
at the battle of Staftord, in 1642, of which
place he became governor, and was president
of the Committee of Sequestration there, be-
ing one who signed the order for the demoli-
tion of the castle. In 1644, he was on the
Committee at Stafford, with Basil Fielding,
earl of Denbigh, by whom he was appointed
governor of Caveiswall Castle, and after-
wards to the command of the garrison at
Biddulph House. We find him at Oxbridge
during the treaty for peace, whence Lord
Denbigh granted liim a pass through his
guard to London, on 21st February, the very
day preceding that on which the treaty was
broken off ; after which we hear no more of
him in the wars. He was, however, after-
wards in possession of St. Lucia, in theWest
Indies, by purchase, and was commonly
styled Governor thereof; having, on the 20th
November, 1650, a grant of the whole of the

William de Chadwyke, the first of the
name on record, was born probably about
the year 1355, as he was living in 1413,

William, of age. William de Chadwyke,
son of William de Chadwyke, sen. had a
grant from Adam de Bamford, in 1413, of
certain messuages, lands and tenements, in
the vill of Bury ; but, though the elder
William is expressly styled De Chadwyke,
and had this grant in the adjoining manor
of Bury, and though it is very probable that
he was of Chadwyke Hall, still no proof
exists to identify him with that family.

Hfntage.

This family, originally of France, assumed
its surname from the town of Guisnes, near
Calais. It probably came into England
with the Concjueror ; for Bloomfield states
that proprietors of the name of De Gis-
NETo, De Gisne, or Gvney, were soon after
the Conquest possessed of the Manor of
Haverland,in Norfolk, and that they held it
until the time of Henry Y. From that
house it would appear that the one Ix (ore
us branched, and that the name in process
of time changed from Gyney to Jenny, the
mode in which it has been spelt since tlie
beginning of the lifteenth centurv at least.

In the 9th of Kichakd II. (i;3»5), Tiio-
mas, son of Sir Thomas de Gyney, knt. en-
feoffed his Manor of (iislingham, in Suffolk,

called Geneys, which he had then lately
purchased of John de Weyland — this Manor
still bears the name of Jennies.

Sir .John More, knight, born about the
year 1440. He was one of the justices of
the court of King's Bench in the time of
Henry VIII. whose family is represented
as old and respectable, and himself de-
scribed as " homo civilis, suavis, innocens,
mitis, misericors, a?quus, et integer ; annis
quidem gravis, sed corpore plusquam pro
relate vivido." Camden, in his remains, re-

lates a bon mot of the learned judge's, which
says more for his wit than his gallantry, and
will not, we fear, prepossess the fair sex
much in his favour. His lordship is said to
have compared a man choosing a wife to one
who dipped his hand into a bag, which con-
tained twenty snakes and one eel ; it was
twenty to one lie caught the eel. After this,
it is not a little surprising to find that he
had the resolution to take three dips himself;
for we learn that he was thrice married.
The maiden name of his first wife was Hand-
combe, of Holywell, in Bedfordshire. Tlie
age of portents was not yet gone by; and
Dr. Clement, a famous physician of the
time, reported of this lady, that, on the
night after her marriage, she saw, in a dream,
engraven on her wediling ring, the number
and characters of her children, the face of
one shininf/ -with superior brightness. Those
children were Jane, n\arried to Richard
Statferton, esq. ; Elizabeth, wife of John
Rastell, the father of Judge Rastell ; and
Thomas, the celebrated Chancellor SirTho-
MAS More. Of Sir John's other wives, we
only know that the christian name of the last
was Alice, that she outlived her step-son,
and that, being deprived of her possessions
in Henry's fury, a little before her death,

she d. at Nortlial, in Herts. The only son
of Sir John,

Thomas Moke, was born at liis father's
usual residence in Milk-street, London, in
1480, and educated, first, at a school at St.
Anthony's, ill Threadneedle-street, and after-
wards at Oxford, where he soon acquired a
considerable proficiency in classical learn-
ing. Being destined for the profession of
the law, he came to New Inn, in London,
whence, after some time, he removed to Lin-
coln's Inn, of which his father was a mem-
ber. In his twenty-second year he was
returned to the parliament called by Henry
VII. for tlie purpose of demanding an
aid for the marriage of his eldest daugh-
ter to the king of Scotland. The Commotis,
ill general, tliought the demand exorbi-
tant ; but no one Jiad courage to oppose
it, till Mr. More set the example, and by his
])Owerful eloquence the motion was rejected,
'i'lie king was so greatly oiVended at this
opposition, that in revenge, he sent Mr.
More's father, on a frivolous pretence, to
the Tower, and obliged him to pay £100 for
his liberty. After being called to the bar,
young More was appointed law reader at
Furnival's Inn, which place he held about
three years ; and he also read a public lec-
ture in the church of St. Lawrence, Old
Jewry, upon St. Austin's treatise De civi-
tate Dei. At one time he seems to have
formed the design of becoming a Franciscan
friar ; but he was afterwards dissuaded from
it, and married Jane, the eldest daugliter of
John Colt, esq. of Newhall, in Essex. In
the year 1508 he was appointed judge of the
sherifl's' court, in the city of London, was
made a justice of the peace, and attained
great eminence at the bar. In 1516, he
went to Flanders in the retinue of Bishop
Tonstal and Dr. Knight, who were sent by
Kiny Henry VIII. to renew the alliance
with the Archduke of Austria, afte:.wards
Charles V. On his return to England, Car-
dinal Wolsey wished to engage Mr. More in
the service of the crown, <ind offered him a
pension, which he declined. It was not
long, however, before he accepted the place
of master of the requests. He was also
created a knight, admitted a member of the
privy council, and, in 1520, made treasurer
of the exchequer. About this time he built
a house on the banks of the Thames, at
Chelsea, and married a second wife. In the
14th year of Henry VIII. Sir Thomas More
was appointed Speaker of the House of
Commons, in which capacity he had the
courage to oppose Wolsey in his demand of
an op})ressive subsidy. Soon afterwards,
however, he was made chancellor ol" the
duchy of Lancaster, and treated with great
familiarity by the king.

Ill the year 1.5'26, he was sent, with Car-
dinal Wolsey and others, on a joint embassy

to France, and in 1529, with Bishop Ton-
stal, to Cambray. Notwithstanding his oppo-
sition to the measures of the court, lie was
appointed chancellor in the year following
the disgrace of Wolsey ; but in 15:33, he
resigned the seals, probably to avoid the
danger of refusing his sanction to the
king's divorce. He now retired to his
house at Chelsea ; dismissed many of his
servants ; sent his children, with their fami-
lies, whom he seems to have maintained in
his own house, to their respective homes ;
and spent his time in study and devotion.
He was not long, however, permitted to enjoy
tranquillity. Though now reduced to a pri-
vate station, and even to indigence, his opi-
nion of the legality of the king's marriage
with Anne Boleyn, was deemed of so much
importance, that various attempts were made
to procure his approbation, but these prov-
ing ineflectual, he was, along with some
others, included in a bill of attainder in the
House of Lords, for misprision of treason,
by encouraging Elizabeth Barton, the Nun
of Kent, in her treasonable practices. His
innocence in this aft'air, however, appeared
so clearly, that they were obliged to strike
his name out of the bill. He was then ac-
cused of other crimes, but with the same
ell'ect ; until, upon refusing to take the oath
enjoined by the act of supremacy, he was
committed _to the Tower; and, after fifteen
months' imprisonment, was tried at the bar
of the King's Bench for high treason. The
proof rested upon the single evidence of
Rich, the solicitor-general, whom Sir Tho-
mas, in his defence, sufficiently discredited.
The jury, however, brought him in guilty;
he was condemned to suffer as a traitor, and
was accordingly beheaded on Tower-hill on
the 5th July, 1535. His body was first in-
terred in the Tower, but was afterwai-ds
begged and obtained by his daughter Mar-
garet, and deposited in the chancel of the
church at Chelsea, where a monument, with
an inscription written by himself, had been
some time before erected, and is still to be
seen. The same daughter also procured his
head, after it had remained fourteen days
upon London bridge, and placed it in a vault
belonging to the Koper family, under a
chapel adjoining to St. Dunstan's church, in
Canterbury.

Sir Thomas More was a man of consider-
able learning, eminent talents, and inflexible
integrity. When only twenty years old, he
was so devoted to monkish discipline, that
he wore a hair shirt next his skin, frequently
fasted, and slept upon a plank. Yet his
disposition was cheerful, and he had an af-
fectation of wit, which he could not restrain
even upon the most serious occasions. He
was the author of various books, chiefly of
a polemical nature. His I topi a is the only
performance that has survived in the esteem

This Percival Cresacre was living as late
as 1455, when he was a feotl'ee of his dau.
Isabel Langton, for the foundation of the
Bosvile chantry in the church of Cawthorne.
The date of his decease has not been ascer-
tained. Respecting the manner of his death
there is a romantic tradition, firmly believed
at Barnborough, and the figure of the lion
conchant at the foot of the oaken statue, is
appealed to in confirmation of it; as is also
a rubiginous stone in the ]>avement of the
porch. The tradition is, that he was at-
tacked by a wild cat, from one of the little
woods of Barnborough, and that there was
a running fight, till they reached the porch
of the church, where the mortal combat
ended in the death of both.

Whatever portion of truth there may be
ill the story, it is evident that it derives no
support from the image of the lion in the
nioiiunient, or the tincture of the stone in
the porch, which is only one of many such
found near Barnborough. That some such
incident did occur in the family of Cresacre,
is rendered, however, in some degree, pro-
bable, by the adoption of the cat-a-moun-
tain for their crest, which may be seen
over their arms on the tower of the church.
On the other hand, it may have been that
the accidental adoption of tlic crest may
have laid the foundation of the story.

deemed necessary that this gentleman
should give up his claims to the estates of
the Pulford family, in favour of Sir Thomas
Grosvenor, relinquishment thereof was made
with the following unusual ceremonies, de-
vised, probably, from a wish to add to its
impressiveness and notoriety.

" On the 24th of April, 1412, Sir Thomas
le Grosvenor, knt. Robert, son of Sir Ro-
bert Legh, knt. and Henry de Birtheles.
counsel of Sir Thomas le Grosvenor, read,
in Mackleslield chapel, a series of deeds re
lating to successive settlements, by the Pul-

ford family, of tlie manors of Buerton ;M.rM
Salghton, Claverton, and Pulford, the ad-
vowson of I'lilford, lands in Middle Alde-
sey, Crooke Aldesey, and Cawarthyn, the
fourth part of the manor of Cholleoh, and
the eighth part of the manor of liroxtoii.
By these settlements, it appears that the
said estates were settled on John, son of Ro-
bert de Pulford ; remainder for life to Jo-
lianna, his mother ; remainder to Robert
liis son, and his wife Isabella; remainder to
their issue ; remainder, in default of issue,
to the right heirs of John.

After the reading of these deeds, it was
stated, that Sir Robert Legh, and Isabella
Ills wife, and their son Robert Legh, pre-
tended a right to these estates, under a set-
tlement by Thomas de Belgrave and Joan
his wife (daughter of Robert, and sister and
heir of Joan de Pulford) ; and, to settle fa-
mily differences, that it had been agreed
that Sir Thomas Grosvenor should take a
solemn oath on the body of Christ, in tlie
presence of twenty-four gentlemen, or as
many as he wished.

Accordingly, Robert del Birches, chap-
lain, whom Robert de Legh had brouglit
with him, celebrated a mass of the Holy
Trinity, and consecrated the Host, and after
the mass (albo cum amiclo, stola, et mani-
pulo indutus) held forth the Host before the
altar, whereupon Sir Thomas Grosvenor
knelt before him, whilst the settlements
Were again read by James Holt, counsel of
Robert de Legh, and then swore upon the
Lord's body, that he believed in the truth of
these charters. Immediately after this, Sir
Laurence Merbury, knt. sheriff, and fifty-
seven of the principal knights and gentle-
men of Cheshire, affirmed themselves singly
to be witnesses of the oath, all elevating
their hands at the same time towards the
Host. This first part of the ceremony con-
cluded with Sir Thomas Grosvenor re':eiv-
ing the sacrament, and Robert Legh and
Sir Thomas kissing each other, " in aftir-
mationem concordia^ pr«di(f(P." Imme-
diately after this, Robert Legh acknow-
ledged the right of all the said lands to be
vested in Sir Thomas Grosvenor and his
heirs, and an instrument to that effect was
accordingly drawn up by the notary, Roger
Salghall, in the presence of several of the
clergy, and attested by the seals and signa-
tures of fifty-eight knights and gentlemen.
Seldom will the reader find a more goodly
group collected together, nor will lie easily
devise a ceremony which would assort brt-
ter with the romantic spirit of the time, and
which thus turned a dry legal conveyance
into an exhibition of chivalrous pageantry.

SUCKLING, OF WOODTON HALL.

SUCKLING, The Reverend ALFRED-INIGO, LL. B. of Woodton Hall, in the

county of Norfolk, b. 31st January, 1796, m. 3Ist Janu-
ary, 1816, Lucy-Clementina, eldest daughter of Samuel
Clarke, esq. and has issue,

VI. Elizabeth-Cranfield.

This g-entleman, formerly of Pembroke College, Cam-
bridge, and now a magistrate for Norfolk, succeeded his
uncle, Lieutenant Maurice William Suckling, in 1820,
and assumed, in compliance with the testamentary in-
junction of his maternal grandfather, the surname and
arms of Suckling, instead of his patronymic, Fox.

Umtac^c.

Thomas Suckling, who was admitted in
the year 1348 to a messuage, and several
acres of land held of the manor of Woodton
cum Langhall, in Norfolk, was father of

John Suckling, living in 1353, whose
grandson, (it is pi'esumed),

Philip Suckling, possessed the messuage
and lands above alluded to, and d. in 1430,
leaving, by Johanna, his wife, a son and
successor,

Stephen Suckling, living in 1479, whose
son,

John Suckling, was father of

John Suckling, who was appointed trus-
tee to certain church lands in Woodton.
He was the tirst of the family who bore the
surname of Suckling only, previously they
had called themselves Suckling alias Est-
HAWE. He wedded a lady named Alice,

but of what family is not recorded, and,
dying about the year 1515, was buried at
Woodton, and s. by his son,

Robert Suckling, who d. in 1539, and
was interred at Norwich. He left three
sons, Richard, John, and Nicholas: the
eldest of whom,

Richard Suckling, succeeded him. He
m. Jane, daughter of — Swaney, of the
county of York, and had issue, Robert, his
heir ; John ; Johanna, m. to — Ling, of
Norwich ; Elizabeth, m. to Thomas Ro-
chester ; Cicely ; and Fanny, the wife of
— Markes, of Burford. He died in 1551,
was buried at Norwich, and succeeded by
his eldest son,

Robert Suckling, who m. first, Eliza-
beth, daughter of William Barwick, esq. of
Westhorpe, by whom he had issue,

I. Edmond, D. D. dean of Norwich,
who gave the communion plate to the
cathedral of that city. They bear

By Amie, his wife, he left two
daughters, one married to the Rev.
Thomas Speudlove, prebendary of
Norwich Cathedral, and the other
Lucy Suckling, to Thomas Marsham,
of Stratton Strawless. (See vol i.
p. 418.)

hanna, daughter of William Cardinall, esq.
of Bromley, and by her had

I. Charles, of whom hereafter, as suc-
cessor to the representation of the
family, upon the demise of Sir John
Suckling, the poet.

II. Christopher, of Wix, in Essex.
Mr. Suckling served as representative in
parliament for the city of Norwich in the
years 1570 and 1585. He was a member
of the company of Merchant Adventurers,
and his arms, impaled with those of that
community, are still in the spandrils of the
Old Hall at Woodton, which he erected,
having purchased the manor and advowson
thereof from Sir Christopher Haydon for
about £300. He possessed, previously, al-
most all the land in the parish, but, as the
manor was only then acquired, Blomfield,
the historian of Norfolk, commences with
this gentleman, thus accounting for the
mistake Nelson's biographers have all com-
mitted in saying that " his lordship's ma-
ternal ancestors, the Sucklings, have been
resident at Woodton for three centuries,"
whereas five would be nearer the truth.
Robert Suckling's third son, but eldest to
leave male issue.

Sir John Suckling, knt. privy counsellor
to James L ni. first, Martha, sister to Lionel
Craufield, esq. of Middlesex, and secondly,
a daughter of — Reeve, of Bury St. Ed-
munds, in the county of SulVolk. By the
first only he had issue, viz.

I. John (Sir), his heir.

II. Lionel, died *. p.

I. Anne, m. to Sir John Davis, of Pang-
bourne, and d. in 1659.

II. Mary, d. unmarried, 1658.

Sir John d. in 1627, and was s. by his son,

Sir John Suckling, the celebrated poet.
This distinguished person early displayed
an extraordinary facility of acquiring every
branch of education. He spoke Latin at
an almost incredibly youthful period, and
could write in that language at the age of
nine. It is probable that he was taught
more languages than one at the same time,
and, by practising frequently with men of
education who kept company with his fa-
ther, soon acquired an ease and elegance
of address which qualified him for the court
as well as for foreign travel. His father is
represented as a man of a serious turn and
grave manners ; the son volatile, good-
tempered, and thoughtless, characteristics
which he seems to have preserved through-
out life. It does not appear that he was
sent to either university, yet a perusal of
his prose works can leave no doubt that he
laid a very solid and extensive foundation
for various learning, and studied, not only
such authors as were suitable to the vivacity
of his disposition, but made himself ac-
quainted with those of a political and reli-
gious nature.

After continuing for some years under
his father's tutorage, he travelled over the
kingdom, and then went to the continent,
where, his biographer informs us, " he
made an honourable collection of the vir-
tues of each nation, without any tincture of
their defects, unless it were a little too much
of the French air, which was, indeed, the
fault of his complexion, rather than his
person." It was about this time, probably
in his twentieth year, that he joined the
standard of Gustavus Adolphus, and was
present at five battles and three sieges, be-
sides minor engagements, within the space
of six months.

On his return, he spent his time, and ex-
pended his fortune, among the wits of his
age, to whom he was recommended, not
only by generous and social habits, but by
a solid sense in argument and conversation
far bejond what might be expected from
his years, and the apparent lightness of liis
disposition. Among his principal associates
we find the names of Lord Falkland, Da-
venant, Ben Jonson, Digby, Carew, Sir
Toby Matthews, and the " ever memorable"
Hales of Eton, to whom he addresses a
lively invitation to come to town. His
plays, " Aglaura," '* Breunoralt," " The
Gobbiins," and an unfinished piece, enti-
tled " The sad One," added considerably
to his fame, although they have not been
able to perpetuate it. The first only was
printed in his life-time. All his plays, we
are told, were acted with applause, and he
spared no expense in costly dresses and
decorations.

While thus seemingly devoted to plea-
sure only, the unfortunate aspect of public

SUCKLING, OF WOODTON HALL.

450

alTairs roused him to a sense of duty, and
induced liim to oHVr liis services, and de-
vote his life and fortune, to tlie cause of roy-
alty. How properly he could contemplate
the unjust dispute between the court and
tlie nation appears in his letter to Mr. Ger-
maine (afterwards Lord Albemarle), a com-
position almost unrivalled in that age for
elegance of style and depth of observation.
It was, however, too much the practice with
those who made voluntary oilers of soldiers,
to equip them in an expensive and useless
manner. Suckling, who was magnificent
in all his expenses, was not to be outdone
in an article which hb' had studied more
than became a soldier, and which he might
suppose would afford unquestionable proof
of his attachment to the royal cause ; and,
having been permitted to raise a troop of
horse, consisting of an hundred men, he
equipped them so richly, that they are said
to have cost him the sum of twelve thou-
sand pounds.

This exposed him to some degree of ridi-
cule, a weapon which the republicans often
wielded with successful dexterity, and which,
in this instance, was sharpened by the mis-
conduct of his gaudy troopers. It appears,
too, that in 1639, the royal army, of which
his corps formed a part, was defeated by
the Scotch, and that Sir John's men be-
haved remarkably ill. All this is possible,
without any imputation on the courage of
their commander ; but it afforded his ene-
mies an opportunity of turning the expedi-
tion into ridicule with an effect that it is
still remembered. The lines in Dr. Percy's
collection, by Sir John Mennis, are not the
only specimen of the wit of the times at our
author's expense.

This unhappy affair is said by Lloyd to
have contributed to shorten the poet's days ;
but Lord Oxford informed Oldys, on the
authority of Dean Chetwood, who said he
had it from Lord Roscommon, that Sir John
Suckling, in his way to France, was robbed
of a casket of gold and jewels, by his valet,
who gave him poison, and besides, stuck the
blade of a penknife into his boot, in such a
manner that Sir John was disabled from
pursuing the villain, and was wounded in-
curably in the heel. Dr. Warton, in his
note to an Essay on Pope, relates the story
somewhat differently : " Sir John Suckling
was robbed by his valet-de-chambre ; the
moment he discovered it, he clapped on his
boots in a passionate hurry, and perceived
not a large rusty nail that was concealed at
the bottom, which pierced his heel, and
brought on a mortification." He died May
7th, 1641, in the thirty-second year of his
age. That he was on his way to France
when he met with the occasion of his death,
seems to be confirmed by a ludicrous poem,
lately re-printed in the " Censura Literaria,"

entitled " A Letter sent by Sir John Suck-
ling from France, deploring his sad estate
and flight : with a discoverie of the |)lot and
conspiracie, intended by him ;tnd iiis adhe-
rents againstEngland. Imprinted atLondon,
1641." This poem is dated Paris, June 16,
1641, at which time the author probably had
not learned that the object of his satire was
beyond his reach.

As a poet, he wrote for amusement, and
was not stimulated by ambition, or anxious
for fame. His pieces were sent loose to the
world ; and not having been collected until
after his death, they are probably less correct
than he left them. Many of his verses are
as rugged and unharmonious as those of
Donne; but his songs and ballads are ele-
gant and graceful. He was particularly
happy and original in expressing the feelings
of artificial love, disdain, or disappointment.
The " Session of the Poets," the " Lines to
a Rival," the " Honest Lover," and the
" Ballad upon a Wedding," are sufHcient to
entitle him to the honours of poetry, which
the author of the Lives published under the
name of Gibber is extremely anxious to
wrest from him.

His works have been often reprinted ;
first in 1646, 8vo. ; again, in 1659 and 1676 ;
very correctly, by Tonson, in 1719 ; and
elegantly, but incorrectly, by Davies, in
1770. The edition of Tonson has been fol-
lowed in the late edition of the " English
Poets," with the omission of such pieces as
were thouglit degrading to his memory, and
insulting to public decency. But whatever
opinion is entertained of Suckling as a poet,
it may be doubted whether his prose writ-
ings are not calculated to raise a yet higher
opinion of his talents. His Letters, with a
dash of gallantry more free than modern
times will admit, are shrewd in observation,
and often elegant in style. That addressed
to Mr. Germaine has already been noticed,
and his " Account of Religion by Reason"
is remarkable for soundness of argument and
purity of expression, far exceeding the con-
troversial productions of that age. This piece
aflbrds a presumption that he was even now
no stranger to those reflections which elevate
the human character, and that, if his life
had been spared, it would have been pro-
bably devoted to more honourable objects
than those in which he had employed his
youthful days. At Sir John's decease, is-
sueless, in 1641, the representation of the
family passed to his uncle,

Charles Suckling, esq. of Woodton, who
m. first, Mary, dau. and co-heir of Stephen
Drury, esq. of Aylsham, and by her had an
only son, Robert, his heir ; he wedded se-
condly, Dorothy, dau. of Anthony Drury,
esq. of Beesthorpe, and had with other issue,
a son, Charles, of Bracondalc, who ni. Maria
Aldrich, of Mangreen Hall, and d. in 1666.

Hmengc

GiLLiCATTAN, head or chief of the clan
Chattan, who, on account of his immense
stature, rare military genius, and other ac-
complishments, acquired the designation
Moir, lived in the reign of Khuj Malcolm
Canmore, and left a son,

DiARMED or DoKMUND, captain of the
clan Chattan, who s. his fiither about the
year 1()!)0, and was father of

GiLi.iCATTAN, the second of that name,
captain of the clan Chattan, who flourished
and made a considerable figure in the reign
of Kiiif/ David I. left two sons,

I. DiARMED,

II. MlJRIACH,

and was succeeded by the elder,

DiAKMED, captain of the clan Chattan,
who did not long survive his father, and
dying witliout issue, anno 1153, was s. by
his brother,

Mi'RiACH or Mi'RDOCH, who, being a
younger son, was bred to the church, and
was parson of Kingousie, then a large and
honourable benefice ; but, upon the death
of his elder brother without issue, he became
head of his family, and cu[)tain of the clan
Chattan. He then obtained a dispensation
from the pope, in 1173, and married a daugh-
ter of the Thane of Calder, by whom he had
five sons,

I. GiLLiCATTAN, his heir.

II. Ewan, or Engine, called Bonn, from
the fairness of his complexion. He
lived in the reign of Alexander IL
and, surnames about this time be-
coming hereditary, he obtained that
of Macparson, or son of the Parson.
He m. and lelt three sons,

descended many families of the
name, viz. the MACi'HiiRSONS of
Pitmean, Strathmassie, Ferfo-
doun, Kenlochlagan, Invertro-
meny, Pitehern, Clune, Pit-
gowan, Garvaniore, Balladmore,
Balladhe^, Inneraven, Carnbeg,
Craegarnell, Jkc. &c.

3. Gillies, prop,enitor of the Mac-
PiiKiisoNS, of Inncressie.

III. Ncill, called Cioiiib, from his stoop-
inu,' and round shoulders. " He had,"
says Doui;;las, " a rare mechanical
ocnius, applied himself to the busi-
ness of a smith, and made and con-
trived several utensils of iron, of very
curious workmanship." He is stated
to liave taken a surname from his
trade, and to hare been ancestor of
the Scottish families of Smith.

IV. Ferquhard, Gilleriach, the Swift,
from whom sprung the Macgillivrays
of Drumnaglash, in Inverness-shire,
and those of Pennygoit, in the Isle
of Mull.

V. David, Dow, or t/ir Black, from
whom the old Davidsons of Inverna-
haven are said to be descended.

Mnriach d. towards tlie close of the reign
of William the Lion, and was s. by his
eldest son,

Gu.LiCATTAN, third of the name, captain
of the clan Chattan, whose only son,

DouGAL Phaol, or, according to Nisbet,
Dougal Daol, succeeded, and was captain
of the clan Chattan. He d. in the reign of
Alexander III. leaving an only daughter,

Eva, who, in 1291 or 1292, became the
wife of^ Angus Macintosh of that
ilk, chieftain of the clan Macintosh,
and conveyed to her husband a con-
siderable portion of the clan Chattan
estate. See Macintosh, of Macin-
tosh.
Dougal dying thus, without male issue, the
«lignity of ca])tain of the clan Chattan has
ever since been the subject of conten-
tion between tlie families of Macintosh, of
Macintosh, (claiming the honour as represen-
tatives, of the seniur line, through the above-
mentioned, Eva, the daughter and heiress of
Dougal), and the Macphersons of Clunie,
(founding their pretensions on their un-
broken male filiation and representing
Ewan, the next brother of Dougal). The
Macintoslies obtaining, with Eva, the daugh-
ter of DoiGAL, the Lochaber estate, the

inhabitants thereof followed the (;hief of
Macintosh as tiieir superior and master,
who was therefore di signed captain of tin;
clan (Ihallan. Tlie rest of the clan, how-
ever, adjuring to Ki;nni:th, as the heir
male, retired to Hadenoch, where they set-
tled, and when; they soon acquired large
|)ossessions, and have been always styled
the clan Macpherson, and likewise captains
of the clan Chattan. We venture not an
opinion on the merits of the rival houses,
hut merely give, without note or comment,
the pretensions of each. Dougal's cousin-
german (the son of his uncle Ewan),

Kknneth Maci'HERSon, became, at Dou-
gal's decease, undoubted male representative
of the family. He was living in the reign
of Ai.exandkk III. and m. Isabel, daughter
of Ferquhard Macintosh, of Macintosh, by
whom he had two sons,

I. Duncan, his heir.

II. Bean, or Benjamin, ancestor of the
Macphersons of Brin, &c.

The elder son,

Duncan Macpherson, of Clunie, lived
in the reign of Robert Bruce ; and, being
a man of a noble spirit, a steady loyalist,
and particularly known to the king, ob-
tained a commission (as head of his clan)
from that great prince to reduce the Cum-
ings, and others his rebel subjects in Bade-
noch, to obedience, which he performed so
effectually, that he got a grant of large ter-
ritorial tracts; and he had also, for his spe-
cial services against the Cumings, a hand
and dagger added to his armorial bear-
ing, &c.

He was succeeded by his son,

Donald Phaol Macpherson, of Clunie,
called Donald Moir,

In the beginning of the reign of Ro-
bert II. there happened a bloody conflict
between the Macphersons and the clan
Cameron, at Invernahaven, in Badenoch,
where the greatest part of the clan Cameron
were killed on the spot ; those who survived
were taken prisoners, but Donald gene-
rously gave them all their liberty.

In tliis Donald's time the dissentions be-
tween the clan Chattan, and the clan Kay,
ran so very high, that they took up the at-
tention of the whole court. The king and
the Duke of Albany sent the Earls of Craw-
ford and of Murray (then two of the greatest
men in the kingdom) to try to settle their
diiferences, and, if possible, to efl'ect a re-
conciliation, but all to no purpose. It was
at last proposed that each clan should choose
thirty of their own number to fight in the North
Inch of Perth, with their broad-swords
only, and thereby put an end to their dis-
putes. The combat w as cheerfully agreed to
by both parties. They met accordingly on

MACPHERSON, OF CLUNY-MACPHERSON.

the (lay appointed : tlie kins; ami an in-
credible number of the nobility and gentry
being- spectators. Prompted by old malice
and inveterate hatred, they fought witli in-
expressible resolution and fury. Twenty-
nine of the clan Kay were killed on the spot ;
the one wlio remained unhurt, made his
escape by swimming over the river Tay, and,
it is said, was put to death by his own clan
when he came home, for not choosing to die
in the field of honour with his companions,
rather than save his life by flying.

Of the clan Chattan nineteen were killed
in the field, and the other eleven so much
wounded that none of them were able to
pursue their single antagonist who fled.
This happened on the Monday before the
feast of St. Michael, anno 1396 ; and the
victory was adjudged in favour of the clan
Chattan.

We must here observe, that the family
of Clunie contend that the thirty combatants
of the clan Chattan w ere all Macphersons ;
" because," say they, " their antagonists,
the clan Kay, were followers of the Cumings
of Badenoch, and envied the Macphersons
the possession of their lands, which was the
cause of their constant feuds."

The Macintoshes also allege, that these
thirty Avere of their party of the clan
Chattan, and all Macintoshes.

Sir Richard Pryse, second baronet of

Sir Thomas Pryse, third baronet of Go-
gerthan, at whose decease, without issue.
May 1682, the title and estates devolved on
liis nephew.

Sir Carbery Pryse, fourth baronet of
Gogerthan, during whose lifetime, aviio
1690, mines were discovered on the estate
at Gogerthan, which, in their time, were
not exceeded by any in the kingdom for
riches, and obtained the appellation of the

Welsh Potosi. By virtue of an act of
parliament passed in the 1st of William
and Mary, Sir Carbery, in the year 1690,
took in several partners, and divided his
waste into four thousand shares; got Mr.
Waller, a miner from the north, to be his
agent, at the salary of £ 200 per annum,
and began to work mines on his own land.
The Society of Miners Royal, finding them
rich, laid claim to them by their patents, the
act not being sufficiently clear. Upon this,
a lawsuit ensued, in 1692, between Sir Car-
bery, and Mr. Sheppard on behalf of the
company, whereupon the former andhispart-
ners, among whom were several noblemen,
the Duke of Leeds, the Marquis of Carmar-
then, &P. taking advantage of the times, pro-
cured, in the year 1693, a most glorious act,
which empowered all the subjects of the
crown of England to enjoy and work their
own mines, in England and Wales, not-
withstanding they contained gold and silver,
provided the king and those that claimed un -
der him may have the ore, paying the pro-
prietors for it upon the bank within thirty
days after it is raised, and before it is re-
moved for lead : lead, nine pounds per ton ;
copper, ten pounds, &c. On his success.
Sir Carbery is said to have rode on horse-
back (having relays of horses on the road)
from London to Escair-hir within forty-
eight hours ; so that, in so short a time, the
happy news was spread among the inha-
bitants of that part of Wales. Sir Car-
berry died without issue, about the year

1695, when the l)aronetcy expired, while the
estates eventually passed to his kinsman,

Thomas Pryse, esq. of Gogerthan, M.P.
for Cardigan, 1743, who married Maria-
Charlotte, daughter and heiress of Rowland
Pughe, esq. of Mathavern, in Montgomery-
shire ; and had an only son, John Pugh,
who dying issueless, the Gogerthan estates
ultimately devolved on his relative,

Lewis Pryse, esq. who wedded Margaret,

daughter and co-heiress of Edward Ryves,

esq. of Woodstock; and had by her, who

died 23rd January, 1798, aged 74, one son

and one daughter, viz.

Lewis, who died unmarried, 25th Sept.

1776, aged 25.

mily resided at Leicester, and frequently

held the hfghest offices in that ancient and
important borough. In the years 1333,
1338, and 1364, John Martyn was mayor of

MARTIN, OF ANSTEY.

lieUl possessions at Anstey, anciently called
Hanstigie, or Anstige, in the county of Lei-
cester, which they have ever since possessed,
and where they have resided to the present
time.

25th Henry VI. A.D. 1447, John Martyn
held the estate at Anstey, and was witness
to a grant of certain lands lying in the fields
of Anstey, "in Wolfdale," by John de
Leverych, of Leicester, for the repair of the
church, bridges, &c. of Anstey, and of which
land the family of Martyn, with others, have
ever since been the trustees.

He was succeeded by his son, Thomas
Martyn, who, about the year 1490, in con-
junction with William Haket, (they being
the wardens of the chapel of Anstey), gave
and demised the " Brereyard" in Anstey
aforesaid to the same purposes as the above
bequest, of which they were trustees. He
left a son, Thomas Martyn, who resided at
Anstey, and was the father of Robert Mar-
tyn, who married, in 1588, Bridget Mar-
shall. He purchased part of the property
of the abbot and convent of St. Mary de
Pratis, at Leicester, lying in Anstey, which
remained in the Crown till 1st July, 1609,
when it was conveyed in fee simple to the
above Robert Martyn, and others. He had
one brother, Thomas Martyn, who, with
others, had a lease of thirty-one years of
" Anstey pastures," an extra-parochial li-
berty, situate near Anstey, from Queen
Elizabeth. This estate, formerly parcel of
the " Ffrith of Leicestre," and of tlie an-
cient duchy of Lancaster, was, after the ex-
piration of the lease, purchased, in tlie 4th
of James I. (from Robert, earl of Salisbury,
lord-treasurer of England), by Robert Mar-
tyn of Anstey, on payment of a chief rent.
In the ancient grant, the boundaries are de-
scribed as extending " from the middle of
y" furlonge, by y^ olde pale beyonde An-
stie gate, alias Cowegate, towards Leicestre,
followinge y'' same olde pale of y'' Ftrith
of Leicestre to Groby gate, and from thence
eastwarde by ye newe ditche there, in length
twoe furlonges and three pearches ; from
thence towarde y"' north, unto y*" poole there
called Woodcocke-vvell, and goinge from
y" same poole to the midle of the furlonge
near Cowegate, where the boundaries afore-
saide doe begyne." The present seat of the
family is at Anstey Pastures, the old resi-
dence, an ancient house in the village of
Anstey, being rendered unfit from age.

Pastures, was the older brother* of Thomas

Southwick, ill the same county, and had
three sons, of whom

Francis Thistlethwayte, esq. of Nor-
man Court, b. in 1719, recovered as heir at
law, after his uncle, Mr. Norton's decease,
the Southwick estate, which had been be-
queathed, in an extraordinary will, to Go-
vernment, and assumed the surname and
arms of Whithed. This gentleman, the
intimate friend of Horace Walpole, was, it
is said, to have been created Lord Carnar-
von, but his death occurred previous to the
iutended elevation. Dying without issue,
he was succeeded by his brother.

The Reverend Thomas Thistlethwayte,
D.D. of Soutliwick, b. in 1720, who m. Se-

Estates — In Hampshire.

Seat — Southwick Park. This seat was
formerly a priory of black canons, which
became of historical celebrity, from its hav-
ing been the scene of the marriage of Henry
VI. with Margaret of Anjou. The priory
was originally built at Porchester, by H enr y
I. in the year 1133, but was shortly after-
wards removed to Southwick, where it con-
tinued to flourish till the period of the dis-
solution. Its privileges were extensive, and
in 1235 the canons procured the grant of a
market and a fair to be held, but the former
has been long disused : they also obtained
liberty of free warren in 1321. At the dis-
solution, the site and demesnes of the priory
were granted to John White, esquire of
the body to Henry VIII. This gentleman,
who died in 1567, left a son, Edward White,
esq. of Southwick, high sheriff" for Hamp-
shire in 1573, who married Mary, sister and
co-heir (with her sister, Honora, Countess
of Sussex) of Richard Pounde, esq. of Dray-
ton, and had, with other issue, a son and
successor, John White, esq. of Southwick,
high sheriff" in 1598, whose daughter, Ho-
nora, wedded Daniel Norton, son of Sir
Richard Norton, knt. of Rotherfield, in
Hampsliire, the representative of a most
ancient and eminent family in that county,
and thus the Nortons acquired the South-
wick estate. Colonel Daniel Norton was a
staunch parliamentarian, and signalized him-
self in behalf of the Commons during the
civil wars. His descendant, Richard Nor-
ton, esq. of Southwick, was the last male
heir of the family, and bequeathed, by a
most extraordinary will, his great landed
and personal property to the parliament of
Great Britain, in trust for the use " of the
poor, hungry, thirsty, naked strangers, sick,
wounded, and prisoners, to the end of the
world." This singular disposition, how-
ever, was set aside, and the estate even-
tually devolved on the Thistlethvvaytes.
The present Mr. Thistlethwayte pulled down'
the fine old house of Southwick, and erected,
about twenty years ago, a very handsome
new mansion, on a more elevated situation.
The estate of Norman Court was sold in
1807 to the present Charles Baring Wail,
esq. M.P.

MACLEOD, OF MACLEOD.

MACLEOD, NORMAN, esq.
father 25th of March, 1835.

of Macleod, b. 18th July, 1812; succeeded his

Umeage.

^OVO 'Ai,.

The genealogy of this very eminent Scot-
tish clan cannot be more interestingly com-
menced than by an extract from a manu-
script memoir of his own life by the late
General Macleod, to which we shall have,
in the details, other occasions to refer.

" My family," says the general, " is de-
rived from tlie ancient royal stock of Den-
mark. In those unhappy times when
heroism was little better than piracy, and
when the Danes first infested and then sub-
dued England, my ancestor was invested
with the tributary sovereignty of the Isle
of Man. His history, the succession, or
the share these princes of Man had in the
predatory wars of that rude age, are lost in
dark and vague tradition. The first fact
which seems clearly ascertained is, that
Leod, the son of the King of Man, in the
conquest of that island by the English
under the Earl of Derby, fled with his
followers to the Hebrides. He there pro-
bably found his countrymen, and, either
by conquest, agreement, or alliance, pos-
sessed himself of that part of those isles
now called Lewes and Harries. Leod had
two sons, Tormod and Torquil. The first
married the daughter of a powerful chief in
the Isle of Skye ; he was a warrior of great
prowess. His father gave or left to him
Harries, and, by dint of his valour and by
marriage, he possessed himself of a large
dominion in Skye, which, together with
Harries, I. his lineal successor, inherit.
Torquil and his posterity possessed Lewis,
which, with other acquisitions, they have

since lost, and the family is noiv repre-
sented by Macleod of Rasay. From Leod,
whose name is held in high traditional ve-
neration, all his descendants and many of
his followers have taken the patronymic of
Macleod. My ancestors, whose family seat
has always been at Dunvegan, seem to
have lived for some centuries, as might be
expected, from men who had gained their
lands by their swords, and were placed in
islands of no easy access. They had fre-
quent wars and alliances with their neigh-
bours in Skye, by which, it appears, they
neither gained nor lost : they frequently
attacked or assisted the petty kings in Ire-
land or the chiefs on the coast of Scotland ;
but they neither increased nor diminished
their own possessions. In the reign of
King David of Scotland they at last took a
charter for their lands, from which time
they seem long to have practised the pa-
triarch's life ; beloved by their people, un-
connected with the government of Scotland,
and undisturbed by it."

Olave Olois,* King of Man and the isles,

* On the demise of his father, Godred, this
prince being no more than ten j-ears of age, his
bastard brother, Reginald, was made king by the
people, and be, Olave, was allotted the Isle of
Lewis, but endeavouring as he advanced in life
to recover his patrimony, he was seized by the
usurper and delivered to William, King of Scot-
land, who detained him a captive for seven years ;
he was released, however, on the death of Wil-
LLVM, and put into possession of the Isle of Lewis,
and being then divorced from his wife by the
Pope's legate, on the ground of consanguinity, he
married Christina, daughter of Farquhar, Earl of
Ross. This led Reginald, the bastard's queen,
sister of the repudiated lady, to instigate her own
son, Godred Don, to murder Olave : but the fdot
being discovered, Olave fled to his father-in-law,
tlie J^arl of Ross, who furnished him with ships
and men, and being likewise' assisted by Pol, or
Paul, the son of Broke, at the time sheriff of Sky,
he surprised Godred (anno 12'23) in an island on
a fresh water loch in Trotterness, in which there
was a chapel and monastery, dedicated to St. Co-
lumbus. In 1224, Olave and the Bastard divided
Man between them, and he subsequently became
sole monarch, having subdued all his foes.

MACLEOD, OF MACLEOD.

477

wlio (/. ill 1237, left by his first wife three
sons, Harold, Rix.inai,d, and MAfJNis, who
all successively enjoyed the kingdom of
Mann, which terminated in 12G5 by the
surrender made of the sovereignty by Mag-
nus, King of Norway, to Alkxanoi'.k IIL
of Scotland, and, in tlie same year, Magnus,
the last king of Mann, died. Olave, by his
tliird wife, Christina, daugliter of Farquhar,
Karl of Ross, had tiiree sons, Guin or Gun,
of whom the Guns in Sutherland; LicoiD,
LoYD or Leod, of whom the clan Maclkod ;
and Leaundrish, of whom the clan Lean-
drisli, in Ross.

Lkod, second son of Olave Olgis, or
Olaus V. King of Maun and the isles, by
the Earl of Ross's daughter, having been
fostered in the house of Pol, obtained from
him the Heries, from which he (Leod) and
his descendants taking their designation,
were, in former times, styled of Glenelg and
Dunvegau. He married the daughter of
Macraild Arinine, a Danish knight, and by
her acquired the lands of Menginish, Bra-
cadale, Durinish, Lindale, Vaterness and a
part of Trotterness, and had two sons —
ToRMODE, who succeeded him, and Tor-
quhil, ancestor of the Macleods of Lewis,*
whose successors were possessed of a great
estate when forfeited in the reign of King
James VL Both the families had the sur-
name or patronymic of Macleod, but were
distinguished by the appellation of Shiel
Tormoid, or the descendants of Tornioid,
and Sliiel Torquhil, or tlie descendants of
Tonjuhil, and by the designations of " Mac-
leod of Herries," and " Macleod of Lewis."
The elder son and heir,

ToRMODE Macleod, was father of
Malcolm Macleod, known by the name of
Caishravir, or Thick-legged, who obtained a
charter, before the year 1360, from King Da-
vid Bruce, whereby that prince granted,
*' Delecto etfideli nostro Malcolmo filio Tor-
modi Mac Loyd pro homagio et servitio
suo duas partes teneraenti de Glenelg, viz.
Octo davatas et quinque denarialas terra'
cum pertineutiis infra vice-comitatum de
Inverness faciendo nobis et heredibus nos-
tris pnedictus Malcolmus et heredes sui ser-
vilium unius navis vigenti et sex Remorum
quoties super hoc per nos fuerint requisiti
prout facere tenebantur tempore patris
nostri," He had three sons, viz.
John, his successor.
Tormod, from whom sprang that branch
of the Macleods in Herries which
possessed Bernera before Sir Nor-
mand Macleod got it from the family
as his patrimony.

* Of the Macleods of Lewis are descended
Macleod of Rasay, Macleod of Genzies, IMacleod
of CadboU, and .John Macleod, esq. the pro-
prietor of a considerable estate in Jamaica.

Murdo, ancestor of the family of Gesto,
from whom .folin Macleod, major in
General (Gordon's liegiinent of Scots,
in the service of the united pro-
vinces.
The eldest son and heir,

John Macleod, was s. by his son,
WiLLUM Macleod, commonly called ylc//-
Inick, or forn)erly aclerk, as he was at first,
but tlie second son and bred to the church.
Soon after iiis accession to the estate he
raised a spreath out of that part of Lovat's
lands called A.ird, in revenge of an injury he
had received in that country in his youth,
brought the cattle to Skye, and slaughtered
them in Hearlosh, in a place from tliat inci-
dent yet called Baniscanigh, or field of Of-
falls. His property being at one time invaded
by enemies, chiefly followers of Macdonald,
Lord of the Isles, he came up with the aggres-
sors at Lochsligichan, and, by a stratagem
evincing no ordinary military genius, gave
them a total overthrow. The plunder of this
exploit he divided at a rock, which, from the
circumstance, retains to this day the name
of Creggan ni feavigh, or Rock of the Spoil.
He married a daughter of the Ogilvies, and
had two sons, John, his successor, and Tor-
mod, from whom are descended the branches
of the Macleods, called the Mac Vieulliams,
of whom Borline, &c. and the Macvie alister
Roys, of whom Ballimore, St. Kilda, &c.
The elder son and heir,

John Macleod, who was remarkable for
great bodily strength and personal courage,
distinguished himself amongst the compa-
nions of Donald, Lord of the Isles, at the
battle of Haarlaw. He married a daughter
of the family of Douglas, and had William,
his heir, and Tormod, whose male heir was
the William of Meidle, mentioned in the
destination of the estate made by Sir Rory
Macleod, to be hereafter specified, but that
branch is now extinct. The elder son,

William Macleod, alias William Nim-
hristigh, or the Skirmisher, went by order
of Ki?ig James II. to aid John, Earl of
Ross, against his bastard son, and was lost
in a naval engagement in Cammisveraigor
Bloody-bay, in the sound of Mull. He was
married to a daughter of Maclean of Loch-
buy. In a charter granted on the 28th
June, 1449, by John, Earl of Ross, Lord of
the Isles, to his brother Hugh, this William
and McLeod of Lewis are witnesses, and
are named in this order, " Willielmus Mac-
leod de Glenelg et Macleod de Legglies."
He was s. by his son,

Alexander Macleod, known as Crottach
or humpbacked, wlio m. a daughter of Ca-
meron, of Lochiel, and had three sons and
a daughter. The daughter wedded, first,
John-Oge-M'Dhoil Ghruamigh, second son
of the family of Slate ; she espoused, se-
condly, Allan M'Jain, captain, of Clanka-

her arose tlie feuds between M'Leod and
Clankanald ; her tliird husband was M'Do-
nald, of Keppoch. Alexander Crotiach ob-
tained a charter from Kinf/ James IV. which
probably was the first granted to the family
of any lands they possessed in the yEbuda?,
or the Western Isles, by the kings of Scot-
land. The charter is dated 15th June, 1498,
and it grants and confirms " Dilecto nostro
Alexandro Makloyd filio et heredi quondam

vegan terras quae vulgariter nuncupantur

lands of Duriness, Menginess, Bracadale,
and Lyndale, and Twopenny lands of Trot-
terness, with the office of bailliary of the
whole lands of Trotterness, with the perti-
nents being within the lordship of the isles,
which were held formerly of John, lord of
the Isles, and came by his forfeiture to be
held of the crown ; to be held of the king-
ward and holding one ship of twenty-six
oars, and two ships of sixteen oars, in rea-
diness for the king's service, as well in time
of peace as of war, whenever they should
be required so to do, and reserving to the
king and his successors the airies or nests
of falcons within the said bounds, Hugh,
Lord Fraser, of Lovat, obtained two decrees
of appraising of the barony of Glenelg,
against the said Alexander Macleod, on the
13th January, 1532, and 3rd March, 1534,
on which he was infeft in virtue of a char-
ter under the great seal, and on the 13th
February, 1539, the said Alexander ob-
tained, on Lord Lovat's resignation, a char-
ter of that barony from King James V. on
which he was infeft in the same year, and
thus he was regularly invested in the whole
family estate. This laird rebuilt the monas-
tery of Rowadale, in Harris. He was s.
by his eldest son,

William Macleod, who was served heir
in special to his father, and in virtue of a
precept from the chancery was, on the 15th
May, 1548, infeft in the whole family es-
tate. By his wife, Anne or Agnes Fraser,
daughter of Hugh, fifth Lord Fraser, of
Lovat, he had an only daughter, Mary, jm.
first, to Duncan Campbell, of Castleswyne,
younger son of Auchinbreck ; and, secondly,
to M'Niel, of Barra. He was s. at his de-
cease, having thus no son, by his next bro-

Donald Macleod, who enjoyed the in-
heritance but a brief period, being murdered
in Kingsborrow, in Trotterness, then a part
of tlie estate. He was s. by his brother,

Maclean, of Coll. Macleod was a man of
courage and conduct, and an adherent of
the unhappy Mary, of Scotland. He died
in March, 1584, and was s. by his eldest son,

William Macleod, of Macleod, who was
served heir 31st July, 1585. He m. Janet,
daughter of Lachlan M'Intosh, of Dunach-

commonly Rori/ more, or great Roderick,
who received the honour of knighthood from
King James VI. and was infeft in the whole
estate as heir to his brother in September,
1596. This laird appears to have been in-
volved in much difficulty, but his address
and courage bore him eventually through.
An act of parliament having passed, 19th
December, 1597, obliging, under pain of
forfeiture, all the chieftains and other land-
holders in the Highlands and Isles, to pro-
duce the title- deeds of their estates before
the lords of the exchequer, to be considered
by them previously to the 25th day of May
following, and Sir Roderick refusing com-

inroad into Trotterness, and burned and
destroyed the whole country. He had also
at this time deadly feuds with the fiimily of
Clankanald. He was however long and
oreatly befriended by the Earl of Argyll,
and, on the 7th July, 16U(i, engaged himself
by contract to resign his barony of Glenelg
into the king's hands in favour of that noble-
man, on his lordship's becoming bound to
grant to him (Sir Roderick) and his heirs
male a charter of that barony, to be held of
Argyll and his heirs by service of ward,
marriage, and relief; he subsequently ac-
commodated matters with Sir Roderick
M'Kenzie, and entered into bonds of friend-
ship with Macdonald, of Slate, Macdonald,
of Clankanald, and Mackinnon ; and at
length, on the 4th May, IGIO, obtained from
Kiiiff James a remission. On the 18th July,
in the same year, he purchased from Ken-
neth, Lord Mackenzie, of Kintail, the ba-
rony of Yaterness, disposing to Kintail of
the Twopenny land of Trotterness, and the
oflice of baiiliary of the whole lands of
Trotterness. On the 19th of the same month
he obtained from George Hay, Viscount
J)uplin, a disposition of the whole estate,
and on these titles, with his own resigna-
tion, he accpiired from the crown a new
charter, dated 4th April, 1611, of Vaterness
and his other estates, containing a novoda-
mus taxing the ward, and erecting the whole
into a barony, to be called the barony of
Dunvegan, in favour of himself and the
heirs male of his body, remainder to bis
brother german, Alexander Macleod, of
Minginess, remainder to William Macleod,
alias Macwilliam Macleod, of Meidle, the
heir male of Tormod, second son of John,
sixth laird of Macleod, remainder to his
own nearest and lawful heirs male whatso-
ever ; and upon this charter he was infeft
22nd October, 1611. On the 16th Septem-
ber, 1613, he was served heir in special to
William Macleod, his uncle, in the lands
of Trotterness, Slate, and North Uist, and
was infeft in them Uth February, 1614.
Those lands he desponed of, in February,
1618, to Sir Donald Macdonald, of Slate.
Sir Roderick became a great favourite with
A'm*/ James VI. who, on the 18th May, 1610,
wrote to him a letter requiring his assist-

ance in an afl'air to be communicated to him
by the Farl of Dunbar, which his majesty
says, " he shall not fail to remember, when
any occasion fit for your good shall be of-
fered." In 161:1 the king conferred the
honour oj' knighthood on him, and in the
June of that year he wrote three several
letters fromCJreenwich, recommending Mac-
leod and his affairs, in the strongest terms,
to the privy council of Scotland. On the
16th June, 1616, his majesty granted to Sir
Roderick a license, under his hand and seal,
to come out of Scotland to court whenever
he should think convenient, without being
liable to any challenge or pursuit for so
doing. Sir Roderick died in the beginning
of 1626, leaving issue by his wife, Isabella,
daughter of Macdonald, of Glengary, five
sons and five daughters, viz.

I. John, his successor.

II. Roderick, of Talliskir. *

• This gentlemf^n, Rodeiiick Macleod, of Tal-
liskir, on the death of his elder brotlier, John,
who succeeded Lis father, and became fourteenth
laird of Macleod, was appointed tutor to his ne- ■
phew, Roderick Macleod, the fifteenth laird,
John's son and heir, then in minority. On the
arrival of Charles II. in Scotland, in 1650, and
the issue of his Majesty's proclamation, com-
mandino- all his subjects to repair to tlie Royal
Standard with as many men as they could levy,
Roderick immediately raised a regiment, seven
hundred strong, of his clan and followers, and
appointed his brother Normand, of Bernera, lieu-
tenant-colonel, who cheerfully obeyed the royal
summons, and after remaining some time with
tlie king's anny, received orders to complete his
corps by a levy of three hundred men more. This
he accomplished ; but being in want of arms, be
obtained an order on John Bunkle, then commis-
sary, to supply him. The commissary', however,
refused to comply, unless Talliskir would pass his
bond for the value, which, rather than prejudice
the service, was passed. This bond was after-
wards assigned to William M'Culloch, who used
utmost diligence upon it against Talliskir, during
the Usurpation. These proceedings were at last
suspended ; and Colonel Macleod relieved from
the claim by act of parliament, in 1661. At the
head of this regiment, himself and his brother
attended the King to the fatal field of Wor-
cester, where almost every man of the corps was
either killed, or taken prisoner, and transported
to the plantations. Tlie colonel had a narrow es-
cape, and after concealing himself a short time in
England, got in disguise to Scotland, where he
became active in encouraging a spirit of loyalty
among the Highland clans ; the best affected of
whom met at Glenelg on the 21st April, 1653, and
agreed on raising a body of two thousand men for
the King's service, and to apprise his Majesty of
Great Britain, the King of Denmark, the Princess
Royal, and the States of Holland, with their reso-
lution. This mission was entrusted to Lieutenant-
Col. Normand Macleod, to be carried to King
Charles, who conveyed in return a most flatter-
ing letter from the exiled monarch to his brother

Normand Macleod, of Berneray, third son
of Sir Roderick, concurred most heartily during
his nephew's minority in all tlie measures
adopted by his eldest brother. Sir Roderick,
the tutor of Macleod. He was at the battle
of Worcester, in the rank of lieut.-colonel of
his brother's regiment, and being taken pri-
soner there, was detained in custody for eighteen
months, during which period he was tried for his
life on the supposition of being a Welchman,
from the affinity, the surnames of Ap Lloyd and
Macleod ; but being well known to the Scots
army, his identity was easily established, when
tlu're was an end to tlie case, and the prisoner re-
manded. It was then proposed to him to sub-
scribe the oath called the tender, and his liberty
was offered to him ; but peremptorily refusing, his
incarceration was prolonged, and his treatment
rendered more severe ; but being a man of abili-
ties, address, and enterprise, he at length effected
bis escape, and joined his friends in the Iliyh.

John More, from his great size, was infeft
in the whole family estate, 9tli November,
1626, on a precept from the Chancery, and
was subsequently under a decree of the
Privy Council of Scotland, compelled to re-
sign his barony of Glenelg in the king's
hands, in favour of the Earl of Argyll, (son
of the nobleman with whom liis father had
entered into the contract,) and to take a
charter of it, holding of his lordship, paying
twenty thousand merks for taxing the ward,
marriage and relief, by which tenure it is
yet held of the house of Argyll, This laird
was a staunch Royalist, and opposed the mea-
sures of the Covenanters from the com-
mencement, for which conduct he received
a letter of thanks from King Charles I.
dated at Durham 2nd May, 1639. He con-
tinued firm in his allegiance, to the hour of
his death, which happened in September,
1649. He was remarkable for his goodness
and piety, and took so much pains to civi-
lize the country, that he acquired the appel-
lation of Lot in Sodon. He m. Sibella,

lands, attended the council of war already men-
tioned, and was deputed to convey the result of
the proceedings to King Charles. He was after-
wards active in the many attempts made to re-es-
tablish the King's aflairs in Scotland, and when
General Middleton was no longer able to keep
the field, but obliged to retire to the Western
Isles, Lieut.-colonel ^Macleod conducted him to
his own house at Berneray, where he remained in
security, until provided with means, by his gallant
host, to make his escape beyond sea. After the
Restoration, he received, with his brother, the
honour of knighthood, but got no other reward,
except through the Earl of Middleton he obtained
the forfeited estate of a certain Highland family,
which took place in consequence of a correspond-
ence discovered between its chief and the usurp-
ers. Sir Normand m first, Margaret, only child

February in the next year infeftin the whole
estate, except the barony of Glenelg, in
wliich he was infeft 19th October, 1677.
This chief being under age until the close
of the great rebellion, his uncles, Sir Rode-
rick and Sir Normand Macleod, with their
clans and followers, having adhered to the
royal cause, the estate of Macleod was se-
questered, but when all Scotland submitted,
the laird at length capitulated, 30th May,
1655, and was admitted by General Monk,
to Oliver's protection, on his finding security
for his peaceable deportment under the pe-
nalty of £6000, and paying a fine of £2500;
his uncles were, however, so obnoxious, that
they were expressly excepted in the capitu-
lation, and were obliged to live ever after
in seclusion. He married Margaret, eldest
daughter of Sir John M'Kenzie, of Tarbat,
but dying in January, 1664, without issue,
was s. by his brother,

John Macleod, of Macleod, who was
served heir on the 11th August, 1664, and

was infeft as heir to his fjithrr in the harony
ofGleneIg, and on the lltli May, 1732, as
lieir to his grandfather in the remainder of
the estate.

Of this gentleman, his grandson. General
Macleod, thns speaks: " My grandfather
Norman was an only and posthumous son.
By the frugality of his ancestors, and the
savings of his minority, he found an ancient
inheritance in the most prosperous condi-
tion. With a body singularly well made,
and active, he possessed very lively parts ;
the circumstance of the times introduced
him to the public with great advantage ; and
till the unfortunate 1745 he was much con-
sidered. An attachment to the race of Stu-
art then prevailed in Scotland, and many of
the leading men in England still favoured
it. His independent fortune and promising
character early obtained him the represen-
tation in parliament of Inverness-shire, his
native county. The number and fidelity of
his clan, and his influence with his neigh-
bours, were known, and there is reason to
believe that many allurements were held
out to seduce him into engagements which
were then considered only dangerous, but
not guilty or dishonourable. It would
be neither ^pleasing nor useful to inquire
how deeply he was concerned in the pre-
ludes to the Rebellion, nor indeed have I
been able to learn ; it is certain that in the
year 1746, he raised a company of his vas-
sals to serve under my father, his only son,
in Lord Loudon's regiment, and afterwards
appeared, with six hundred of his clan, in
defence of the present royal family. From
this period he was unfortunate : the Jaco-
bites treated him as an apostate, and the
successful party did not reward his loyalty.
The former course of his life had been ex-
pensive : his temper was convivial and hos-
pitable, and he continued to impair his for-
tune until his death, in 1772. He was the
first of our family who was led, by tiie
change of manners, to leave the patriarchal
government of his clan, and to mix in the
pursuits and ambition of the world. It was
not then common to see the representatives
of the Highland tribes endeavouring to raise
themselves to eminence in the nation, by
the arts of eloquence, or regular military
gradation ; they were contented with their
private opulence, and local dignity ; or
trusted their rank in the state to the anti-
quity of their families, or their provincial

influence. Had Norman felt, in his youth,
the necessity of prolessional or parliamen-
tary exertions, and liad he received a suit-
able education, he would not have left his
family in distress ; but the excellence of his
parts, and the vigour of his mind would
have attained a station more advantageous
for the flight of his successors."

The laird married, first, Janet, daughter
of Sir Donald Macdonald, of Slate, and had
one son, John, his successor. He espoused,
secondly, Anne, daughter of William Mar-
tin, of Inclifure, and by her had three daugh-
ters, Elizabeth, Anne, and Rich-Mary.
His only son,

John, m, Emilia, only daughter of
Brodie, of Brodie, lord Lyon king of
arms, and dying 7th January, 1767,
left, with five daughters,* an only son,

Norman, successor to his grand-
father.

Macleod died, as already stated, in 1772,
and was succeeded by his grandson,

Norman Macleod, twentieth laird of
Macleod, of whom the most interesting de-
tails whicli can be furnished are those given
by himself in the manuscript memoir to
which we have already referred.

" I was born on the fourth day of March,
1754, at Brodie House, the seat of my ma-
ternal grandfather, Brodie, of Brodie, Lyon
king at arms. During my boyhood, my fa-
ther, with his family, went to reside at Be-
verley, in Yorkshire, where he died, and was
buried in the Minster. I was placed under
the care of Mr. George Stuart, one of the
pi*ofessors in the College of Edinburgh ;
and the abilities, care, and maternal love of
my surviving parent, left me no other rea-
son to regret my father than tliat which na-
ture dictates for a brave, worthy, and so
near relation.

'* Li the year 1771, a strange passion for
emigrating to America seized many of the
middling and poorer sort of Highlanders.
The change of manners in their chieftains,
since 1745, produced eftects which were
evidently tlie proximate cause of this unna-
tural deieliction of their own, and appetite
for a foreign, country. The laws which
deprived the Highlanders of their arms and
garb, would certainly have destroyed the
feudal military power of the chieftains ; but
the fond attachment of the people to their
patriarchs would have yielded to no laws.
They were themselves tlie destroyers of that
pleasing influence. Sucked into the vortex
of the nation, and allured to the capitals,
they degenerated from patriarchs and chief-
tains to landlords ; and they became as

irus Moore, of Salatou, in Ireland.

anxious for increase of rent, as the new-
made lairds, the novi homines, the mercan-
tile purchasers of the lowlands. Many
tenants, whose fathers for generations had
enjoyed their little spots, were removed tor
higher bidders ; those who agreed at any
price for their ancient lares — their palrue
dumi — were forced to pay an increased rent,
without being taught any new method to in-
crease their produce. In the Hebrides,
especially, this change was not gradual, but
sudden ; and sudden and baleful were its ef-
fects. The people, freed by the laws from the
power of the chieftains, and loosened by the
chieftains themselves from the bonds of affec-
tion, turned their eyes and their hearts to new
scenes. America seemed to open its arms
to receive every discontented Briton. To
those possessed of very small sums of mo-
ney, it offered large possessions of unculti-
vated but excellent land, in a preferable
climate ; to the poor, it held out high wages
for labour ; to all, it promised property and
independence. Many artful emissaries, who
had an interest in the transportation or set-
tlement of emigrants, industriously dis-
played these temptations; and the desire of
leaving their country for the new land of
promise became furious and epidemic.
Like all other popular furies, it infected not
only those who had reason to complain of
their situation or injuries, but those who
were most favoured, and most comfortably
settled. In the beginning of 1772, my
grandfather, who had always been a most
beneficent and beloved chieftain, but whose
necessities had lately induced him to raise
his rents, became much alarmed by this
new spirit, which had reached his clan.
Aged and infirm, he was unable to apply
the remedy in person ; he devolved the task
on me ; and gave me for an assistant our
nearest male relation. Colonel Macleod, of
Talisker. The duty imposed on us was
difficult : the estate was loaded with debt ;
incumbered with a numerous issue from
himself and my father, and loaded with
some jointures ; his tenants had lost, in that
severe winter, above a third of their cattle,
which constituted their substance ; their
spirits were soured by their losses, and the
late augmentations of rent ; and their ideas
of America were inflamed by the strongest
representations, and the example of their
neighbouring clans. My friend and I were
empowered to grant such deductions in the
rents as might seem necessary and reason-
able ; but we found it terrible to decide
between the justice to creditors, the neces-
sities of an ancient family, wliicli we our-
selves represented, and the claims and dis-
tresses of an impoverislied tenantry. To
God I owe, and I trust will ever pay, the
most fervent thanks, that this terrible task
enabled us to lav the foundation of circum-

stances, thougli then unloolci'd lor, that I
hope will prove the means, not only ol" the
rescue, but of the aggrandizement o(" our
family. I was young, and had the warmth
of the liberal passions natural to that age ; I
called the people of the diflerent districts of
our estate together ; 1 laid before them the
situation of our family — its debts, its bur-
thens, its distress; I acknowledged the
hardships under which they laboured ; I
described and reminded them of the manner
in which they and their ancestors had lived
with mine ; I combated their passion for
America, by a real account of the dangers
and hardships they might encounter there ;
I besought them to love their young chief-
tain, and to renew with him the ancient man-
ners ; I promised to live among them ; I
threw myself upon them ; I recalled to their
remembrance an ancestor who had also
found his estate in ruin, and whose memory
was held in the liighest veneration ; I de-
sired every district to point out some of
their oldest and most respected men, to
settle with me every claim, and I promised
to do every thing for their relief which in
reason I could. My worthy relation ably
seconded me, and our labour was not in vain.
We gave considerable abatements in the
rents : i'ew emigrated ; and the clan con-
ceived the most lively attachment to me,
which they most eftectually manifested.
When we were engaged in these affairs, my
grandfather died, and was buried at St. An-
drews. I returned to Hampshire, and easily
prevailed with my excellent mother and
sisters to repair, in performance of my pro-
mise to my clan, to Dunvcgan. In my first
visit to Skye, Mr. Pennant arrived there ;
and he has kindly noticed in his Tour the
exertions we then made.

" I remained at home with my family and
clan till the end of 1774 ; but I confess that
I consider this as the most gloomy period of
my life. Educated in a liberal manner,
fired with ambition, fond of society, I found
myself in confinement in a remote corner of
the world, without any hope of extinguishing
the debts of my family, or of ever emerging
from poverty and obscurity. A long life of
painful economy seemed my only method
to perform the duty I owed to my ancestors
and posterity ; and the burthen was so heavy,
that only partial relief could be hoped even
from that melancholy sacrifice. I had also
the torment of seeing my mother and sisters,
who were fitted for better scenes, immured
with me ; and their affectionate patience only
added to my sufferings. In 1774, Dr. Samuel
Johnson, with his companion, Mr. Eoswell,
visited our dreary regions : it was my good
fortune to be enabled to practise the virtue
of hospitality on this occasion. The learned
traveller spent a fortnight at Dunvegan, and
indeed amply repaid our cares to please him.

by the most instructive and entertaining con-
vjjrsation, I procured for him the company
ofthe most learned clergymen and sagacious
inhabitants of the Islands, and every other
assistance within our power to the inquiries
he wished to make."

Thus abruptly terminates General Mac-
leod's own narrative. It has, however, been
continued by his son and successor, the late
laird ; from whose papers it appears, that,
wearied with the inactivity, and disgusted
with the obscurity of the Isle of Skye, lie at
length determined upon adopting the pro-
fession of arms, and obtained leave to raise
an independent company, with the rank of
captain. " It was about this time," says his
son, " that being thrown from his liorse,
near Inverness, he was carried to Suddie
House, where he first became acquainted
with his future wife, who nursed him while
confined by the accident. They were soon
after married, and embarked for America,
but were taken prisoners on the voyage,
and very kindly treated by Washington, of
whom I have often heard him speak in
terms of the greatest affection." Soon
after his return to Britain, on the 21st
March, 1780, he was advanced to the rank
of lieutenant-colonel, having raised a se-
cond batallion for the 42nd regiment. This
he accompanied to India, and tliere ac-
quired high reputation in the war against
Tippoo Sahib. In a correspondence which
took place between the Sultan and General
Macleod (at this time he had the command
of a division of the Indian army, although
but twenty-nine years of age), the follow-
ing spirited passage occurs in one of the
general's despatches : " You, or your in-
terpreter, have said, in your letter to me,
that I have lied, or made a mensonge. Per-
mit me to inform you, prince, that this lan-
guage is not good for you to give, or me to
receive ; and if I were alone with you in the
desert you would not dare to say these words
to me. An Englishman scorns to lie; an Eng-
lish general who would dare to lie would be
crushed to pieces by the just rage of our mag-
nanimous king. You have said tiiat I lied,
or made a mensonge. This is an irreparable
affront to an English warrior. I tell you
our customs ; if you have courage enough to
meet me, take a hundred of your bravest
men on foot, meet me on the seashore, I
will fight you, and a hundred men of mine
will fight with yours." Mr. John Norman
Macleod continues : " At the time my fa-
ther got the rank of lieutenant-colonel, and
went to India in 1782 or 1783 (I believe the
former), Mrs. Macleod (his first wife) went
with his mother and children to France,
where she died, leaving a son and daughter,

a short time acquainted, but long enough
for a man of his warm passions to form
the strongest attachment to her. I know at
this moment but little of the public history
of my father at that period. From subse-
quent misfortunes that befel him, my mother
has never willingly talked of his career in
India; all I know is, that he, a very young
lieutenant-colonel in the king's service,
commanded the army on the Malabar coast,
taking rank according to the reguhation of
those days of all Company's officers of the
same rank, though of older standing ; he
served with great success, and made a good
deal of money, about £100,000 ; but I be-
lieve, although not addicted to play, he suf-
fered himself to comply with the custom of his
associates, and lost all, or nearly all of his
savings. In consequence of a new order,
that Company's officers should hold rank
according to the dates of their commis-
sions, my father found himself under the ne-
cessity of resigning his command to those
who had formerly obeyed him; andremaining
in this situation not being consistent with
his ideas of military propriety, he returned
to England in the year 1789. My mother,
with his children, followed him to Britain
in 1790; and he was shortly afterwards
unanimously returned at the general election
for the county of Inverness." We are sub-
sequently told that, owing to some misun-
derstanding with Henry Dundas, afterwards
Lord Melville, he joined the opposition, and
became one of the most strenuous opponents
of Mr. Pitt's administration. " His military
prospects (we continue to quote from his son)
were now closed for ever, and from the early
age of thirty-five till forty-seven, when he
died, was to him a constant scene of disap-
pointment, misfortune, and remorse. His
income was far from being competent to his
rank in life. I suspect it did not amount
to more than two thousand a year ; and
while he was in America and India, his com-
missioners had sold large tracts of his
estate (Harris and Loch Snizort Side), for
less than lialf their value. As he was the
first of the family who parted with his inhe-
ritance, he was doubly grieved to find that
he had impoverished his heirs, without ma-
terially benefiting himself." At the general

election which followed the dissolution in
1796, General M'Leod stood a contest against
the Paget family for the borough of Milburn
Port, and was defeated, at an expense of
£15,000 ; to meet which, he was obliged to
dispose of a very large tract of his estate,
Vaternish, which brought exactly that sum,
althougli a few years after it sold for £30,000.
He subsequently resided at Edinburgh, and
in 1801 removed to a small country house he
had hired atNewhaven. His health, wliich
had long been declining, now began rapidly
to decay. He accepted in this year an in-
vitation from Captain Murray, of the Prince
of Wales Excise yacht, to take a trip to
Guernsey, in hope that a change of air might
be of service ; but he hardly arrived there,
when his family received an account of his
death. By his first wife (Mary Mackenzie,
Suddie), General M'Leod had a son, Nor-
man, who died young, and a daughter, Mary,
who m. Captain Norman Ramsay, and died
shortly after. By tlie second (Sarah Stack-
house) he had surviving issue,

John Norman, his successor.

liincngc.

This family, originally Saxon, took its
surname from the barony of Swinton, in
Berwickshire.

Edi'lf de Swinton, of Swinton, who
appears to have flourished in the reigns of
Macbeth and Malcolm Canmore, left a
son,

LiULPH or Lii'LF, living in the beginning
of Kini) EociAK, (wiiose reign terminated in
1107,) and was father of

Udard, sheriff of the county of Berwick
temp. Alexander I. who was succeeded by

Herni'LF or A'lni'LF, who obtained a
charter from David I. in which tiie three
preceding proprietors of the lands and ba-
rony are named " David rex Scotorum, et
Henricus suns filins omnibus vicecomitibus

Hernulf died in the reign of Malcolm IV.
and was s. by

Sir Alan de Swinton, miles, — who got a
charter of the barony of Swinton from Ber-
tram, prior of Coldiiighain, superior thereof
in the reign of Khu/ Wiixiam the Lion. He
died about the year 1200, and was interred
in the church of Swinton, where his name
and arms are over a stone image upon his
tomb, and was *. by

Sir Adam de Swinton, who is mentioned
in a donation made by his relic to tlie mo-
nastery of Soltray. Sir Adam died before
the year 1229, and was s. by

Sir Alan de Swinton, of whom there are
many documents in the reign of King Alex-
ander II. He was s. by

Alan de Swinton, who, in the reign of
Kiiiij Alexander III. is mentioned in the

Hf.nky ni. SwiNi'oN (Alan's successor)
was, with ninny otlicis of liis iionntrynuMi,
compelleil to sulunit to A'lw// Edwako I. of
Enj^lanil, when he liad overrun Scotland,
anno I'ilX). This Henry was s. by

Hkniiy di; SwiNTON, who is witness in a
charter by Isabella Senescalla, doniina de
Fife, to Michael lialfour, of an annuity of
eight merks sterling out of the lands of
Easterferry. He was s. by

Sir John Svvinton, a distinguished sol-
dier and statesman, and high in favour witli
the Second and Third Robkkts. His mili-
tary achievements are recorded by the ancient
Scottish writers. At the battle of Otterburn,
31st July, 1388, he had a chief command,
and to his intrepidity the Scots were in-
debted for the great victory obtained over
the English (although with the loss of Doug-
las) on that memorable field. It is related
of Sir John, that in the wars with the Eng-
lish, he visited the enemy's camp, and gave
a general challenge to fight any of their
army. He was appointed one of the am-
bassadors extraordinary by King Robkrt
III. to negociate a treaty with the court of
England, for which they got a safe conduct
from Kinrf Richard II. for themselves
and sixty knights in their retinue, 4th
July, 1392. He was afterwards eni))Ioyed
upon another negociatlon, and obtained
a safe conduct from KhKj HiiNRY IV. to
go to England, with twenty horsemen in
his retinue, 7th July, 1400. The gallant
bearing and heroic death of tlie Lord of
Swinton, at the fatal battle of Homildon,
have afforded a subject for the poetic genius
of Scott, and are the materials on which
he founded the drama of " Haledon Hill."
Pinkerton thus records Swinton's fall : "The
English advanced to the assault, and Henry
Percy was about to lead them up the hill,
when March caught his bridle, and advised
him to advance no farther, but to pour the
dreadful shower of English arrows into the
enemy. This advice was followed with the
usual fortune ; for in all ages the bow Avas
the English weapon of victory, and though
the Scots, and perhaps the French, were
superior in the use of the spear, yet this
weapon was useless after the distant bow
had decided the combat. Robert the Great,
sensible of this at the battle of Bannock-
burn, ordered a prepared detachment of
cavalry to rush among the English archers
at the commencement, totally to disperse
them, and stop the deadly efiusion. But
Douglas now used no such precaution ; and
the consequence was, that his people, drawn
up on the face of the hill, presented one
general mark to the enemy, none of whose
arrows descended in vain. The Scots fell
without fight and unrevenged, till a spirited
knight, Swinton, exclaimed aloud. 'O my
brave countrymen! what fascination has

seized you to-day, that you stand like deer
to be shot, instead of indulging your ancient
courage, and meeting your cncniies hand to
hand .' Let those who will, descend with
me, that we may gain victory, and life, or fall
like men.' This being lieard by Adam Gor-
don, between whom and Swinton there ex-
isted a deadly fend, 'attended with the mu-
tual slaughter of many followers, Ik; in-
stantly fell on his knees before Swinton,
begged his pardon, and desired to be dubbed
a knight by him whom he must now regard
as the wisest and boldest of that order in
IJritain. The ceremony performed, Swin-
ton and Gordon descended the hill, accom-
panied by only one hundred men, and a
desperate valour led the whole body to
death. Had a similar spirit been shewn by
the Scottish army, it is probable that the
event of that day would have been difierent."
He m. first, Margaret, Countess of Douglas
and Marr, widow of William, first Earl of
Douglas, but by that lady had no issue ; and
secondly, Lady Margaret Stewart, daughter
of Kiny RoBiiRT II. by whom he had a ^on.

Sir John Swinton, of that ilk, who suc-
ceeded him, a man of singular merit, and a
soldier of as undaunted valour. At the
battle of Beauge, in France, in 1420, Swin-
ton unhorsed the Duke of Clarence, the Eng-
lish general, brotlier of Khuj Henry V.
whom he distinguished by a coronet set witli
precious stones, which the duke wore around
his helmet, and wounded him so grievously
in the face with his lance that he immedi-
ately expired.* Sir John afterwards fell
at the battle of Vernoil, where the Scots'
auxiliaries were commanded by the gallant
Earl of Buchan, constable of France, son
of Robert, Duke of Albany, governor of
Scotland anno 1424. Swinton m. first. Lady
Marjory Dunbar, daughter of George, Earl
of March ; but she died without issue. He
espoused, secondly, his cousin-german , Lady
Marjory Stewart, daughter of Robert, Duke
of Albany. He was *. by his son.

Sir John Swinton, who, being an infant
at his father's death, was left under the care
of William de Wedderburn, scutifer. Sir
John died about the year 1493, leaving (with
a daughter, Margaret, who vi. John Falside,
and in her widowhood was prioress of the
monastery of Elcho)a son and successor.

Sir John Swinton, of that ilk, who, anno
1475, wedded Katharine Lauder, a daughter
of the family of Bass, by whom he had,
with other issue, a son,

John Swinton, of that ilk, who m. in
1518, Margaret, daughter of David Hume,
of Wedderburn, and had issue,

William Penn, of Minety, in the county
of Gloucester, and of Penn's Lodge, in
Wiltshire, died in 1691, and lies buried be-
fore the altar in the church of Minety ; in
which parish he inherited a patrimonial es-
tate, long possessed by his ancestors, but
which, soon after his death, was alienated
to a branch of the family of Pleydell. His
son,

William Penn, who predeceased his fa-
ther, married a Gloucestershire lady named
Rastall, and left two sons, William, whose
line is extinct, and

Giles Penn, Captain R.N. who held for
some time the office of English consul in the
Mediterranean. He m. into the family of
Gilbert (which came originally from York-
shire, but was then settled in Somerset-
shire), and had two sons, George, envoy
to Spain, who died unmarried, and

Sir William Penn, b. at Bristol in 1621,
who adopting the gallant profession of his
father, became a distinguished naval officer,
Admiral of England, and was one of the com-
manders at the taking of Jamaica. He was
passionately attached from his youth to ma-
ritime atfairs, and, before he had reached
his thirty-second year, had gone through

the various promotions of captain, rear-ad-
miral of Ireland, vice-admiral of England,
general in the first Dutch war, and com-
mander-in-chief under the Duke of York,
in the signal victory over the Dutch in 1665,
on which occasion he was knighted. On
his return he was sent to parliament by the
borough of Weymouth ; in 1660 he was
made a commissioner of the admiralty and
navy, governor of the fort and town of
Kinsale, vice-admiral of Munster, and a
member of that provincial council. He
then took leave of the sea, but still con-
tinued his other employments till 1669,
when, through bodily infirmities, he with-
drew to Wanstead in Essex, and there
died in 1670. Although he w^as thus en-
gaged, both under the parliament and
king, he took no part in the civil war, but
adhered to the duties of his profession.
Beside the reputation of a great and pa-
triotic officer, he acquired credit for having
improved the navy in several important de-
partments. He was the author of many
little tracts on this subject, some of which
are preserved in the British Museum. The
monument erected to his memory, by his
wife, in RedclitVe church, Bristol, contains

September, 1655. He arrived at Ports-
mouth in August, and thence wrote to Crom-
well, but receiving no answer, he appeared

mission, to the hazard of the army, but soon

Sir William Penn died in 1670, and was *.

by his son,
William Penn, who was born in the

parish of St. Catherine, near the Tower of

London, 14th October, 1644. This eminent

man entered as a commoner at Christ-
church, Oxford, in 1660, and remained at
the university two years, where he formed
an intimacy with Robert Spencer and John
Locke. Though fond at this time of youth-
ful sports, he had given his attention to the
preaching of one Thomas Loe, a quaker,
and thence imbibed strong religious impres-
sions. He withdrew, with some other stu-
dents, from the national worship, and held
private meetings, where they preached and
prayed among themselves. This line of con-
duct giving great offence to the heads of the
college, Mr. Penn, though but sixteen years
of age, was fined for non-conformity, and,
continuing his religious exercises, was at
length expelled the university. On his return
home, his father, who was highly incensed,
sent him to France, in company with some
persons of rank ; and he continued abroad
a considerable period, returning not only
well skilled in the French language, but a
polite and accomplished gentleman. He
was subsequently entered as a student of
law, at Lincoln's Inn, but his sojourn there
was of short duration ; for in 1666, having
been entrusted by his father with the ma-
nagement of a considerable estate in Ire-
land, he was at Cork, where he met with a
person whom he had known at Oxford, who
had become a proselyte to quakerism ; and
he found the principles of his friend socon-

genial to his enthusiastic foelin};s, that he
iinnudiatoly adopted tlieni. Tliis step pro-
duced an open breach witli his fatlier * on
his return to England ; hut he was too zea-
lous a professor to he reclaimed hy harsh
treatment, and in KiGK he was committed to
the Tower for preachinj;' ay^ainst the Esta-
hlislied Church. While in confiiwment he
composed a tract entitled, " No Cross, no
('rowM ; a discourse showinji; the nature and
discipline of the Holy Cross of Christ,"
which is the most esteemed of his writings.
He was no sooner released than he recom-
menced preaching-, and, being in conse-
quence arrested, togetherwith his companion
William Mead, was indicted at the Old
Bailey Sessions for illegally holding forth,
and although acquitted hy the verdict of the
jury, they were arbitrarily imprisoned in
Newgate by order of tlie court. On ob-
taining his liberty, Penn visited Holland and
Germany as a missionary, but he hastily re-
turned to England, owing to the illness of
his father, whom he found on his death-bed,
and with whom he effected a reconciliation
previous to the old gentleman's decease,
w liich happened shortly after, f

In 1681, King Charles H. in considera-
tion of the services of Mr. Penn's father,
and several debts due to him from the
crown at the period of his demise, granted
to William Penn and his heirs the province
lying on the west side of the river Dela-
ware, in North America, which thence ob-
tained the name of Pennsylvania. Mr.
Penn immediately published a brief account
of the province, proposing an easy purchase
of land, and good terms of settlement for
such as were inclined to remove thither. A
great number of purchasers came forward,
and formed a company, called, " The Free
Society of Traders in Pennsylvania." Shortly
after, the enlightened and beneficent pro-
prietor sailed to colonize his newly-ac-
quired territories, with a band of persecuted
Quakers, who followed his fortune ; and
having entered into a treaty with the Indian
natives, % founded the city of Philadelphia.
He abolished negro slavery in his domi-

* The species of conflict between them cannot
easily be described. The father felt great affec-
tion for an accomplished and dutiful son, and
ardently desired the promotion of his temporal
interests, which he feared would be obstructed
by the course of life he had embraced. The son
was sensible of the duty he owed to his parent,
and afflicted in believing that he could not obey
him but at the risk of his eternal welfare.

t His last moments are thus recorded by his
son : — " My father after (nearly) thirty years em-
ployment, with good success, in divers places of
eminent trust and honour in his own country, upon
a serious reflection not long before his death, spoke
to me in this manner : • Son William, 1 am weary
of the world : I would not live over mv days if I

nions, and established a code of laws for
tiieir internal government, which contri-
buted nrnch to the prosperity of the colony. '

On the accession of King James II. Penn
became a gr(»at favourite at court, and was
one of the most zealous advisers ol' the mea-
sures for alhjwing liberty of conscience
which then appt;ared. The Kevolulion
placed tin; Quakers, in common with other
dissenters, under the protection of the laws
in the exercise of their religion, and Penn,
having witnessed this favourable change in
their situation, returned to America, where
he was Joyfully received, and found the
affairs of his settlement in a prosperous
condition. After residing in Pennsylvania
a few years, he came home to negociate
some matters with the British Goverimient,
relative to the commerce of the colony,
whither he did not again return, dying at his
seat at Ruscomb, in Berkshire, in 1718.
Beside the tract already mentioned, Penn
was the author of " Primitive (Christianity
revived, in the Faith and Practice of the
People called Quakers;" "A brief Account
of the Rise and Progress of the Quakers ;"
" A Treatise on Oaths," &c. &c.

"William Penn, the great legislator of the
Quakers," says Father O'Leary, " had the
success ofa conqueror in establishingand de-
fending his colony, among savage tribes,with-
out ever drawing the sword; the goodness of
the most benevolent rulers, in treating his
subjects as his own children ; and the tender-
ness of an universal father, who opened his
arms to all mankind without distinction of
sect or party. In his republic, it was not
the religious creed, but personal merit, that
entitled every member of society to the pro-
tection and emoluments of the state." With
respect to the settlement, it has been sup-
posed that, during the seventy years while
William Penn's principles prevailed, or
the Quakers had the principal share in the
government, there was no spot on the globe
where, number for number, there was so
much virtue or so much true happiness as
among the inhabitants of Pennylvania ; and
that, during the time it exhibited (setting aside

could command them with a wish, for the snares
of life are greater than the fear of death ....
Three things I commend unto you. First, let
nothing in this world tempt you to wrong your
conscience ; so you will keep peace at home, which
will be a feast to you in a day of trouble. Se-
condly, whatever you design to do, lay it justly
and time it seasonably, for that gives security and
dispatch. Lastly, be not troubled at disappoint-
ments ; for if they may be recovered, do it ; if
they can't, trouble is vain."

X Penn's friendly and pacific manner of treat-
ing the Indians, produced in them an extraordi-
nary love for him and his people ; so that they
have maintained a perfect amity with the Anglo-
Americans in Pennsylvania ever since.

the diffioulties of a new colony) a kind of
little paradise upon earth. Hence the period
from l<i82 to 1754, with the same exception,
has been denominated the golden age of
Pennsylvania. Nor has this name been
improperly bestowed upon it, if we examine
into facts; for in a constitution where merit
only was publicly rewarded, there must
havebeen a constant growth of virtue, and, ol'
course happiness with it. In a constitution,
also, where every man had free scope for his
exertions, and the power of enjoying the
fruits of his own labour, there must have
been the constant opportunity of improving
his temporal condition.

William Penn m. first, Gulielma Maria,
daughter of Sir William Springett, and had
by her a son,

William, to whom his father left his
estates in Ireland. This William
was father of another Willi AM Penn,
whose daughter, Chkistiana, marry-
ing — Gaskill, esq. of Gloucester-
shire, was mother of

Alexander-Fokbks Gaskill, esq.

of Shannagarry, in the county

of Cork.

He wedded, secondly, Hannah, daughter of

Thomas Callowhill, of Bristol, and had by

her three sons, viz.

John, who died unm. in 1746, and be-
queathed his moiety of the province
of Pennsylvania to his brother Tho-
mas.

same place, and had issue two sons
and two daughters, viz. William,
Richard, Hannah, and Mary, the
wife of Samuel Paynter, esq. of
Richmond, Surrey.
William Penn died in 1718, and was interred
in the Quakers' burial ground at Jordans,
near Beaconsfield. His second son by his
second marriage,

Thomas Penn, esq. of Stoke Pogies, in
the county of Buckingham, espoused, in
1751, Lady Juliana Fernior, fourth daugh-
ter of Thomas, first Earl of Pomfret, and
by her, who was born in 1729, and died in
1801, had issue,

I. William, died an infant in IT.'ia.

Armagh.
II. Louisa, died young.
Mr. Penn died in 1775, and his demise is
thus recorded in the Pennsylvania Gazette.
" By the last ships from London we have an
account that, on the 21st March last, died
the Hon. Thomas Penn, esq. one of the pro-
prietors of this province, and last survivor
of all the children of its illustrious founder,
William Penn, whose virtues, as well as
abilities, he inherited in an eminent degree.
He was born 8th Marcli, 1701-2, being a
few months younger than our present char-
ter of privileges, which he constantly de-
clared himself desirous of preserving invio-
lable, as the great fundamental compact by
which all ought to be bound. He had the
principal direction of the aifairs of this go-
vernment for half a century, and saw such
an increase of population, arts, and improve-
ment in it, as during the like period, per-
haps, no man before him ever beheld in a
country of his own. He rejoiced at the
sight; was a kind landlord, and gave a
liberal, often a magnificent, encouragement
to our various public institutions. The hos-
pital, the college, our different libraries, and
religious societies, can witness the truth of
this. For he did not confine himself to sect
or party ; but, as became his station, and
the genius of his father's benevolent policy,
he professed himself a friend to universal
liberty, and extended his bounty to all. In
short, the grave, which generally stops the
tongue of flattery, should open the moutii
of justice. We may be permitted to con-
clude his cJiaracter by saying, that he was
both a great and a good man." He was in-
terred in his family vault at Stoke Pogeis,
and s. by his son,

John Penn, esq. of Stoke Pogeis, b. 22nd
February, 17()0, a justice of the peace for
Buckinghamshire, and governor of Portland
Castle, in tlie county of Dorset. He died
unmarried, 21st June, 1834, the last pro-

dukedom, there is a conjecture as to the des-
cent of the Seymers of Hanford, from Hum-
phrey Seymer, of Even Swindon. The con-

of date, similarity of arms, and the spelling

liam Chester, of the 35th regiment.
This gentleman, from his early years, pur-
sued the study of natural history, and at-
tained a degree of excellence in entomo-
logy, conchology, and mineralogy, particu-
larly in the investigation of extraneous fos-
sils. His cabinets of shells were very rich,
as he never lost an opportunity of procuring
the finest offered for sale ; and although re-
siding at so great a distance from the me-
tropolis, 'he was always able to secure,
througli his agents in town, any collections
brought from abroad. Martin, in his great
work on shells, mentions Mr. Seymer's col-
lection with high commendation ; and to
Mr. Seymer the " Hortus Europjs Ameri-
canus " was dedicated. With the natural-
ists of his time, Edwards, Fothergill, Pen-
nant, Foster, Drury, and Francillon, he
maintained an uninterrupted correspond-
ence. The well known Dr. Pulteney, re-
siding no more than five miles distant from
him, mu(-h of tlieir time was passed together,
and the Doctor has frequently declared that
some of the happiest hours of his life were
spent in Mr. Seymer's society. Althougli
botany was less his study than other parts
of the system of nature, yet

Nature he loved ; with her he spent his hours,
And stored his garden with her fairest flowers.

He d. on the 13th June, 1785, and was s. by

his eldest son,

Henry Seymer, esq. of Hanford, D.C.L.
b. in 1745, who wedded, 22nd March, 1781,

steward of the corporation of Newport, 30th September,
1829, and is a magistrate for the counties of Salop and
Stafford.

LEEKE, OF LONOFOIll) HALL.

507

HtlTtnQC.

This family has, for several centuries,
heiMi of importance in tlie eouiity of Salop.
Tlie immediate ancestor of the present line,
Rali'II Lekke, of Ludlow, was living in
1334. His seal is represented in a pedigree
of the family, which is attested hy Sir Wil-
liam Segar, as hearing his shield of arms,
the same as now used with the legend, " Si-
gill. Radi Leekk Akmigeri." The contract
for the marriage of his son,

Kali'II Leeke, with the daughter of Phi-
lip de Middleton, ancestor of the Myddel-
tons, of Chirk Castle, bears date in 1334.
Fourth in descent from this Ralph, was

RiCHAUD Leeke, who vi. in 1539, Alice
Oitley, of Pitchford, and was great grand-
father of

Ralph Leeke, who m. and had three sons,
viz.

1, Thomas, who attained great eminence
in the profession of the law, and was
appointed a haron of the Exchequer,
25th November, 1642. On the 6th
December, 1644, a commission of the
peace for the county of Salop was
renewed, in order to place him there-
in. It has not been ascertained whe-
ther this commission proceeded from
the authority of the king, or from that
of the parliament ; but as Shropshire
was still chiefly in the obedience of
Charles, it seems most probable that
the baron espoused the royal party,
especially as he is said to have lost
upwards of £7000 in the civil wars.
After the fall of the monarchy, how-
ever, he submitted, in common with
Sir Matthew Hale, and others, to the
ruling powers. He was in office in
1654, and probably continued so un-
til the Restoration, when he was not
re-appointed. He died without issue,
in 1662, having on the 1st February,
in that year, devised an estate atTre-
vanney,in the county of Montgomery,
to trustees (Sir John Weld the youn-
ger. Sir Richard Oateley, Samuel
Baldwin, esq. of the Inner Temple,
Thomas Jones, esq. of Shrewsbury,
John Stanier, esq. of Shropshire, and
Richard Jenkins, esq. of Eaton) for
he erection and maintenance of a
free 'grammar school at High Ercal,
of which the present Thomas Leeke,
esq. of Longford, is a trustee and
visiter.
I. William, of whose line we have to
treat.

Wellington, m. Elizabeth Hcnshaw, and liad
four sons, viz.

I. Thomas, who d. in India.

monial estate at the Vineyard, and

IV. Stephen, an eminent solicitor in
Chester, where he realized a consi-
derable fortune.

The second son,

Ralph Leeke, esq. at the age of sixteen,
embarked as cadet in the Hon. East India
Company's service, for the presidency of
Bengal, from which, through the patronage
of his relation, Mr. Cartier, then governor
of Calcutta, he was transferred to the civil
service, and resided for a considerable time
as collector in the province of Typerah,
where he realized a large fortune. Return-
ing to England in 1786, he purchased, the
following year, from the Earl of Shrews-
bury, the manors and estates of Longford*
and Church Aston, in Shropshire, and erec-
ted upon the former an elegant mansion, of
white stone, after the design of Bonomi, the
architect, where he resided for the remain-
ing forty years of his life. He m. 13th De-

1tm£fl(^e.

The family of Bedingfeld is one (as
Camden says) of undoubted antiquity, de-
riving its name from a town in Suffolk, and
deducing its lineage from the era of the Con-
quest, through an uninterrupted line of dis-
tinguished ancestors. From Ogenus de
PiiGis, alias Longuevili.e, a Norman knight,
and fellow-soldier of Duke William, line-
ally descended

James Bedingfeld, (second sou of Sir
Peter, and brother of Sir Thomas Beding-
feld, ancestor of the Oburgh family), who
was living in 1.3.00. He m. Alice, daughter
and heir of Peter de Fleming, by whom he
acquired Fleming's Hall and Manor, and

Thomas Appleyard, of Dunston, in Norfolk,
a son and successor.

I. Charlotte-Maria-Carleton.

II. Elizabeth-Mary.

Tiiis gentleman, whose patronymic is Lloyd, assumed the
surname of Piiilipps, upon the demise of Lord Milford,
under the will of James Philipps, esq. of Penty Park,
brotlier of Mary-Lloyd, his great-great-grandmother. He
is in the commission of the peace for the counties of Cardi-
gan and Pembroke, major in the royal Cardigan militia,
and a deputy-lieutenant for the former shire, as well as for
the town and county of Haverford-west.

Hincnc^e.

The paternal line of this ancient family is
that of Lloyd, and its early history ascends
to the most remote period of the authentic
British annals.

Rhodri Mawr, (or Roderick the Great),
lord paramount of Wales, and sovereign
of the Isle of Man, was slain in a battle widi
the Saxons, in the Isle of Anglesey, in the
year 877. He bad, witli other children, a
son.

Ti'DWAL, called Tudwal yloff", or the lame,
having been wounded in the knee, in (he
battle fought against the Saxons and Danes,
near Conway, and which is recorded in
Welsh history as " Dial Rodri," or tlie
" Revenye of Roderick ;" it was fought in
the year 878 ; and the Saxons and Danes
being defeated, the death of Roderick was
assumed to be avenged, and thus the event
became recorded with the above appellation.

The arms borne l)y Tudwal Gloff were,
* azure, a wolf saliant argent, lait(/ued and
armed (juhs. Eighth in descent from Tud-
wal glofl' was,

Cedivir, the son of Dinawal. He served
under Prince Rhys, usually styled " The Lord
Rhys," of South Wales, and distinguished
himself on various occasions. In the eleventh
year of the reign of Henry II. Cedivir, at
the head of a detachment of the forces of
Prince Rhys, took, by escalade, the castle
of Cardigan, then held by the Earl of Clare
and a body of Flemings for the English
monarch. For this service he was rewarded
by the grant of various extensive tracts of
land in Cardiganshire, the gift of Prince
Rhys, who also bestowed upon him his
daughter in marriage ; and his descendants
have, to the present day, ranked among the
principal landed proprietors and gentry of
Cardiganshire.

Lineally descended from Cedivor ap Di-
nawal is the family of whom we are about
to treat, as also many others in Cardigan-
shire, Caermarthenshire, and Pembroke-
shire. For the bravery displayed by him
in the assault and taking of Cardigan castle,
Cedivor received from Prince Rhys a grant
of the following arms : " Sa. a spear's head
arg. imbrued gu. between three scaling lad-
ders of the second (2 and 1) ; on a chief of
the third, a castle triple-towered ppr." Of
the numerous descendants of Cedivor who
retained their patrimonial estates in Cardi-
ganshire was,

ance of small flints, which, being cut in two, this
figure appears on the inside of them ; the carp,
too, which are found in the fisL-j)onds, exhibit a
similar mark on their scales. These circum-
stances, so very peculiar to the country, and at
the same time so extraordinary, the ancient lords
adopted the figures for their arms, and transmitted
them to their posterity, giving them the name of
mascles, from the Latin word, mascula, whence
some of the house have taken for their motto,
' Sine maculi macla'— a mascle without a spot."

This family, as its name and arms* imply,
is of Norman origin, and deduces from the
Lords of Rohan, in the dukedom. Its first
settlement in England appears by an an-
cient deed from Whalley Cartulary, bear-

counties. In Wales, the first settler on re-

The origin of the family of Shuttle-
worth, and its settlement s>t Gawthorp, in
the county of Lancaster, appears to have
arisen from the intermarriage of Henry
Shuttleworth with Agnes, daughter and
heiress of William deHackini;, — their son,
Ughtred Shuttleworth, being the first of
Gawthorp. The proof of the fact was ex-
tracted, by Christopher Townley, from the
old court rolls at Clitheroe, which are now
lost :

ofthe Shuttleworth family, (says Dr. Whitaker),

point of marriage with Miss
Jane Fenay, the heiress of the

There were several gentlemen at

This is not improbable, for his tastes and habits
appear to have been of the lowest order. I have
seen one sad evidence. He died in great obscu-

base pleasures may sully the noblest name, and
waste an estate gathered with labour, and pre-

The Burleys, who formerly wrote them-
selves Boerley, derived the name from
Burley, in Herefordshire, which they held
under their superior lords, the Mortimers,
and made a considerable figure for several
generations. Walter Burley, one of the first
fellows of Merton College, was a younger
sou or grandson of Sir Simon de IJurlega,
knight, who apoears a subscribing witness to

:i rjccd ()(■ K'alph ^lr Mortimer, uho died in
1217. Ill an age when learned nun prided
themselves u|)on abstruseness and siibtiltv,
Walter liurhy obtained the Iionourable ap-
l)ellatioii of tin- pliiiii and tin; jursjilruoiis
/^«<7«*/-— ((ualities which eminently fitted him
for the instruction of youth, and procured
for him the important oflice of preceptor to
th(; Prince of Wales, afterwards Edward
HI. wherein he conducted himself so nie-
rit()riou>5ly, that the King selected liim to
superintend the education of his son, the
Jilack Prince. This probably enabled him
to introduce at court his relation, another
Sir Simon de Burley, esteemed one of the
most accomplished men of his age, and as
such appointed governor of the young |)rince,
afterwards Khif/ Richard 11. Sir Simon
de Burley, and his two brothers. Sir Richard
and Sir John, "men of worth and valour,"
are mentioned amongst the officers despatched
by the Black Prince in 1366 to escort Don
Pedro the cruel, the deposed King of Castile,
from his asylum at Corrunna to Bordeaux.
He is also mentioned, on the same authority,
as one of the gallant cavaliers who volun-
teered their services to accompany Sir Tho-
mas Felton on his adventurous exploit to
gain intelligence in the enemies' quarters,
which terminated in the death or captivity
of them all. Sir Simon must have been
of the number of those made prisoners
on this occasion, so characteristic of the
chivalrous spirit of the age. He was a
younger son, and therefore what the his-
torian, Knighton, says, that his patrimony
did not exceed twenty marks, may possibly
have been true, as the family estates were
enjoyed by his elder brother ; but, by the
favour of his sovereign, wealth and honours
were lavishly poured upon him. In the
first year of Richard II. being already a
knight, he was appointed keeper of Windsor
castle for life. In the next year, Laustephan
castle was confirmed to him. In 1380, Simon
de Burley, chamberlain, was one of the
King's commissioners to treat with the Ger-
man Princes. In 1382, when he is styled
Under-Chamberlain of the King, he was
constituted master of the falcons, and keeper
of the royal mews at Charing, with a fee of
elevenpence a day, and received grants of

Emlyn, in Kermerdin ; next year, of Ley-
borne castle, in Kent, late Juliana's de Ley-
borne ; and the year after, that of liberties

In 1385, he was one of the executors of Joan,
Princess of Wales, the King's mother. In
1386, he had a grant of Castle Frome, in tlu;
same county, forfeited by the felony of
Lady Deveros. He was also warden of the
Cinque Ports, constable of Dover castle,
privy counsellor, knight banneret, and knight
of the garter.

GRESLEY, OF NETHER-SEALE.

In so turbulent a reign as that in whicli
Sir Simon de Hurley flourished, he could
not be neutral, or hope to escape uninjured.
Wjilsingham represents him and Richard
Styry as two of those who prejudiced the
King against the Earl of Arundel, but Wal-
singham writes with a manifest leaning to
the " Opposition." On the other hand,
Carte, the perpetual advocate of the legiti-
mate Sovereign, represents him as a victim
to his afl'ection for the King, and attachment
to the constitution.

The truth seems to be, that the King was
weak, with a strong desire for despotic
power ; his uncles, imperious and factious.
Amongst them all. Sir Simon was brought
to the block. May 6th, 1388 ; and in the
same year, the Archbishop of Canterbury
had a grant of the parks of Langley and
Elmham, in Kent, which accrued to the
Crown by virtue of his attainder. The judg-
ment against him was reversed in the fol-
lowing reign — a fair presumption, says Mr.

Hallam,of its injustice. Sir Simon's brother,
John, was also a knight of the garter, and,
besides his eldest son, William, who was
seated at Burley, had two other sons, Rich-
ard, an eminent man in his day, K.G. mar-
shall of the field, and privj counsellor to
John of Gaunt, whom he accompanied into
Spain, and died there the same year his
uncle was beheaded ; and Sir Roger, father
of John Burley, of Bromcroft Castle, sheriff
of Salop in 1409, whose daughter, Joyce,
became the wife of John de Gatacre, of
Gatacre.

His son, William Burley, of Bromcroft,
sheriff, in 1426, M.P. for Salop, and speaker
of the House of Commons, left two daugh-
ters, his heirs,

Joan, m. first, to Sir Philip Chetwynd,
of Ingestre, and secondly, to Sir Tho-
mas Lyttleton, the celebrated author
of the " Tenures."
Elizabeth, m. to Thomas Trussel, of
Billcsley, in Warwickshire.

This family, which is a branch of that
seated at Drakelow, in Derbyshire, and
now represented by Sir Roger Gresley,
bart. derives from Nig ell, younger son of
Roger de Toena, standard-bearer of Nor-
mandy, who arrived in England with an
elder brother, Robert, in the train of Duke
William ; and at the time of the survey,
held extensive possessions in the counties
of Derby and Stafford, of which Grnsele or
Gresley in the former, where he fixed his
abode, was one. From this gallant soldier,
through a long line of distinguished indi-
viduals {sec Burke's Pcerru/e and Baronet-

Mr. Frewen-Turner succeeded his father 1st February, 1829, and is knight of the
shire for Leicester.

ILineage.

The Frewens, a family of considerable
antiquity, were seated, at a very remote pe-
riod, in the county of Worcester: in 147.3,
we find Richard Frewen, one of the bailitTs
of Worcester, and another Richard Frewen,
prior of Great Malvern. A third Richard
Frewen and his wife are represented in

stained glass in one of the abbey windows,
and were great benefactors to the monasterv.
In the church at Hanley Castle there is, like-
wise, a monument to Richard Frewen, who
was buried in 1584, and his son, Francis, in
1606.

The immediate ancestor of the present fa-
mily of the Frewens,

John Frewen, came out of Worcester-
shire, where he was born about the year
1550: he settled at Northiam, in Sussex,
of which place lie was rector more than fifty
years : he w as a puritan, and author of
several works against the Catholics. He
d. in 1628, leaving, with other issue,

I. Accepted, who was born in Kent,
educated in the free school at Can-
terburj\ became a student, and soon
after, about the beginning of 1604,
in his sixteenth year, a demy of

Magdalen College ; wlicre, making
great prolieiency •" logic and philo-
sophy, lie was elected probat, fellow
of that liouse, about St. Mary Mag-
dalen's day, anno Id 12, Ixing then
master of arts. At that time he
entered into the sacred function, and
became a frequent preacher, being-
puritanically inclined. In l(j22, he
attended in the court of Prince
Chakles, while he was in Spain
courting the infanta ; and, in 1625,
he was made chaplain in ordinary to
the king. In 1()26, he was elected
president of his college, and in the
next year proceeded in divinity. In
1628 and 1629, he executed the office
of vice-chancellor of the university
of Oxford; and, on the l;Jth Sep-
tember, 1631, being then, or about
that time, prei)endary of Canterbury^
was installed dean of Gloucester,
upon the removal of Dr. George War-
burton thence to the deanery of Wells.
In 1638 and 1639, upon the solici-
tations of Dr. Laud, archbishop of
Canterbury and chancellor of this
university. Dr. Frewen again served
the office of vice-chancellor ; and, on
the 17tli of August, 1643, he was
chosen by his majesty to succeed Dr.
Wright in the see of Lichfield and
Coventry ; but the times being then
much disturbed, he was not conse-
crated until the next year, when the
solemnity was performed in the cha-
pel of Magdalen College by the arch-
bishop of York, and tlie bishops of
Worcester, Oxford, Salisbury, and
Peterborough. This preferment being
then however but little better than
titular, the hierarchy having been
about that time silenced, he retired
to London, and lived there, and else-
where, among his relations for seve-
ral years. At lengtli, after the resto-
ration of King Charles II. he was
elected to the see of York on the 22nd
September, translated 4th October,
and enthronized in the person of Tob.
Wickham, prebendary of that churcli
on the 11th of the same month, anno
1660. The see of Lichfield being also
vacant for about a year, in expectation
that Mr. Richard Baxter would take
it, (for the king intended it for him
conditionally he would conform), Dr.
Frewen had the benefit of tliat too,
all the fines for renewing, and for the
filling up lives, to his very great pro-
fit, beside what he got from York.
At length Mr. Baxter, the coryphaeus
of the presbyterian party, refusing
it, lest he, in a high manner, should
displease the bretlu-en, it was offered

to Dr. Richard Baylie, president o(
St. John's College, and dean of Sa-
rum, who had been a very great
sufferer for tlie king's cause; but
he] refusing if, because Dr. Frewen
Jiad skimmed it, it was conferred on
Dr. .lohn llacket, of Cambridge. Dr.
Frewen, wlio was accounted a gene-
ral scholar, and a good orator, but
hath notiiiug extant, only a Latin
oration, with certain verses on the
death of Prince Henry (for his Moral
Philosophy Lectures are not yet
made public), died at his manor of
Bishops Thorp, near York, on the
28th of March, in sixteen hundred
sixty and four, and was buried on
the third day of May following, under
the great east window of the cathe-
dral cjiurch of St. Peter, in York.

It is related of Dr. Accepted Frew-
en, that, when chaplain to the Earl of
Bristol, ambassador at the Spanish
court, he was introduced to Prince
Charles, who had arrived at Madrid to
visit the infanta, and that he preached
a sermon before his royal highness,
from the text 1 Kings, xiii. 21st
verse, which is still extant, and which
is said to have had such an effect on
the prince that he broke off the in-
tended match.

thiam above fifty-six years, and died

NiAL the Great, called Nial of the Nine
Hostages, monarch of Ireland in the latter
part of the fourth century, had eight sons ;
the four elder were princes in Ulster, and
were called, from their great ancestor, the
Northern Hii Nials; the four younger were
chieftains in Leinster, and were called the
Southern Hii Nials. From the time of
Nial to the accession of Brian the Great,
in 1002, the throne of Ireland was exclu-
sively possessed by tlie descendants of Nial.
Ergan, his eldest son, was progenitor of the
house of O'Neill, so distinguished in the his-
tory of Ireland, which continued in enjoy-
ment of the principality of Ulster until the
reign of James I. Henry VIII. induced
Conn, the then prince, to surrender his name
of O'Neill, and created him, in lieu thereof.
Earl of Tyrone. His grandson, Hugh, re-
sumed that princely title, and, as the O'Neill,
carried on a successful war against the Eng-
lish crown during the entire reign of Queen
Elizabeth. The principal line of this
branch of the Niall family became extinct
in the time of ChaulesI. Connel, the se-
cond son of Nial the Great, was ancestor
of the O'Donnels, who were, under the
O'Neills, chieftains of Tyrconuel, until
James I. made Rorie, the then chieftain,
Earl of Tyrconnel. He was afterwards at-
tainted and fled to Spain, where he was
created Condc of Tyrconnel, by Philip III.
He and his descendants enjoyed the highest
rank in that kingdom until the family be-
came extinct, about the year 1693. Fiacha,
the fifth son of Nial the Great, was ancestor
of the M'Geogiiegans, who were heads of the
Soutliern Hii Nials, and chieftains of Moy-
cashell, or Kinelagh, a district now com-
prising the western part of the county of
Westnieatli, and many adjoining lands.
Geraldus Cambrensis states, that the M'Geo-
ghegans were princes of Moycashell, on the
invasion of the English in the time of Hen-

ry II. Their vicinity to the pale brought
them into constant collision with the Eng-
lish authorities in Ireland, and they are
frequently proclaimed as the king's Irish
enemies, and frequently summoned to his
assistance as his friends. The M'Geoghe-
gans are included in most of the royal writs
for military aid, or of credence to officers; and
in that of 9th Edward III. the then M'Geo-
ghegan is ranked amongst the chief of the
Irish who were requested to join the king
in an expedition against Scotland. O'Neill,
of Ulster, O'Conor, of Connaught, O'Ma-
laghlan, of Meath, and eight other native
princes, are named with M'Geoghegan in
this writ.

In the time of Henry VIII.

RossE M'Geoghegan, the then M'Geo-
ghegan, and chieftain of Kinelagh, or Moy-
cashell, entered into a treaty with Lord
Leonard Grey, Viscount Graney, the king's
deputy in Ireland, by which, as chieftain
of his nation and territory, he agreed to
bear allegiance to the King of England, to
serve him against all his enemies, and to aid
him with certain forces when called upon.
This treaty bears date 28th November, '29th
Henry VIII. Rosse was s. by his son,

Connor, the M'Geoghegan and chieftain
of Moycashell. He had two legitimate sons,

I. CoNLAGH, his successor.

II . Hug H , who became heir to his brother,
and an illegitimate son, called

Rosse M'Geoghegan.
On the death of Connor, the territory was
divided ; Conhigli succeeded to Moycashell,
and Hugh obtained Castletown. Conlagh
had no issue, and surrendered his estates to
Queen Elizabeth, on condition that she
would re-grant them, with a limitation, in
default of male issue to himself, to his ne-
phew, Niel, the son of the illegitimate Rosse.
This re-grant passed, and

tance. On tlie death of his brother, how-
ever, lie beeanie chief of his nation and luad
of his branch of the family of Nial the trreat.
He m. Ellinor, daughter of Walter Tirrel,
of Clunmeagh, in Westnieath, and dying
10th June, 1022, left issue by her, besides
other children,

Arthuu, his successor, the last M'Geo-
ghegan and chieftain of the family. During
the civil war, he rendered himself conspicu-
ous for his zeal and fidelity in the cause of
Charles I. for which, on the reduction of
Ireland by Cromwell, he was deprived of all
his estates, the inheritance of his ancestors
for so many centuries, which were granted
to adventurers of the Cromwellian party, to
whom they were confirmed on the restora-
tion. His wife, during the war, saved some
soldiers of Cromwell's army, who had been
defeated iu an engagement with her hus-
band's troops, from the fury of her own
people ; and, in gratitude for this service,
a grant was made to her of the Bunowen
estate, in the county of Galway, which had
been taken from the O'Flaherties ; and thus
were the M'Geoghegans transplanted from
Westnieath into Connaught. Arthur mar-
ried Julia, called in Irish, Giles, daughter of
James M'Coghlan, of the Hill, in the King's
County, esq. by whom he had

I. Hugh, who died during the war, leav-
ing a son, Edward, who died s. p.

II. Edward, to whom, and to the heirs
male of whose body, the Bunowen
estate was limited, upon the death of
Julia.

Arthur was killed in battle, and was s. by
his son,

Edward Geoghegan, esq. of Bunowen,
who m. Margaret, daughter of James Dillon,
esq. of Ballymoloy, in Westnieath, by whom
he had,

Charles Geoghegan, esq. of Bunowen
Castle, who, by Mary, daughter of Valen-
tine Blake, esq. of Drum, in the county of
Galway, had a son,

Edward Geoghegan, esq. of Bunowen,
who intermarried with Cecilia, daughter of
Richard Blake, esq. of Ardfry, in the county
of Galway. Mr. Blake was descended
from Richard Blake, speaker of the Su-
preme Council of Kilkenny from 1642 to
1651, and, by his son, was grandfather of
Joseph, first Lord Wallscourt, and by his
daughter, of the Countesses of Kerry and
Louth, and the Viscountess Kingsland.
Edward Geoghegan d. 9th September, 1765,
leaving issue,

Richard Geoghegan, esq. of Bunowen,
a gentleman celebrated for his literary at-
tainments, and as the first person who de-

voted himself to the reclamation of the waste
lands in the remote districts of Connemarra.
Mr. Geoghegan in. Mary-Anne, daughter of
John Bodkin, ('Si[. of Auna, in the county of
Galway, and had,

I. John David, his Buccessor.

II. Connolly, an officer in foreign ser-
vice, who died s. p.

Richard died in July, IbOO, and was s. by
his son,

John David Geoghegan, esq. of Bunowen
Castle, b. 4th December, 1750. Mr. Geo-
ghegan was member in the Irish Parliament
until 1799, and was one of the delegates of
the celebrated Irish volunteers. From the
time of the extinction of the senior branch
of the O'Neills, in the reign of Charles I.
it had been the anxious desire of the succes-
sive representatives of the M'Geoghegan
family, as the undoubted heads of tlie South-
ern Hii Nials, and the descendants of
Fiacha, son of the great Niall, to assume the
family name of O'Neill ; but the attainders
and forfeitures against them, and the perse-
cutions which th-y, in common with the
greater portion of the ancient nobility and
gentry of Ireland, sulfered for so many ge-
nerations, rendered any attempt to efiectuate
their desire as fruitless as it would have been
dangerous. Times, however, changed : Mr.
Geoghegan held a high and confidential
office under the Crown, that of accountant-
general of the Court of Exchequer, and had
been the chosen representative of the people ;
he was, therefore, no longer debarred from
making the application ; he accordingly peti-
tioned Kinff George III. ; and his majesty
being satisfied, as he states in his privy-seal
letter, dated at Whitehall,February 13, 1808,
that Mr. Geoghegan was paternally descend-
ed from Nial, of the nine hostages, granted
him his royal license and authority to take
and use the surname of O'Neill. Mr. Geo-
ghegan, who thus became O'Neill, married
Gertrude, daughter and co-heir of Robert
Fetherstone, esq. of White Rock House,
in the county of Longford, and had surviving
issue,

I. Augustus-John, his heir.

II. Charles-Fetherstone, 6. December,
1802.

I. Gertrude, married to Thomas Fleet-
wood Walker, esq. of Elm Hall, in
the county of Kildare, by whom she
had one son and one daughter.

Mr. O'Neill died 8th April, 1830, and was s.
by his elder son, Augustus John O'Neill,
esq. now of Bunowen.

MAULEVERER, OF ARNCLIFFE HALL.

MAULEVERER, WILLIAM, esq. of Arncliffe Hall, in the county of York, b. in

1792, m. in 1812, Helen, daughter of the late Sir George
^^ Abercromby, bart. of Forglen House, North Britain, by the

Honorable Jane Ogilvie, his wife, daughter of Alexander
Lord Banff, and has two daughters,

and reo-ret.

Jane.

Georgina-Helen.

This gentleman having succeeded, at the decease of his
aunt. Miss Mary Mauleverer, in 1833, to the Mauleverer
estates, changed, by act of Parliament, his patronymic
" Gowan" for the surname of " Mauleverer."

Mr. Mauleverer is a magistrate and deputy-lieutenant
for the North Riding. On the passing of the Reform Bill,
he stood for the borough of South Shields, and although
the defeated candidate, was chaired by the inhabitants and
presented with a diamond ring, as a mark of their esteem
In this year (1835) a subscription has been raised by some of his neigh-

bours to present him with a piece of plate, for his exertions at the recent election

for the North Riding.

Hmeage.

The name of this family in ancient wri-
tings is called Malus-Leporarius {Mal-
ievorer), the bad hare-hunter, and tradition
says, that a gentleman of Yorkshire, being
to let slip a brace of greyhounds, to run
for a considerable wager, so held them in
swing that they were more likely to strangle
themselves than kill the hare, when the
designation was fixed upon the unskilful
sportsman, and transmitted to liis posterity.
But Peter le Neve, Norroy, supposes it to
be Malus-operarius, or the bad-worker ;
because that in Domesday Book is found,
(title Essex, page 94) " terra Adami, fiUi
Durandi de Malis operibus, in French Mal-
ouverer, which is easily varied to Maule-
verer.

derick, in holy orders, and Mar-
garet.

III. William (Sir).
Tlie third son.

Sir William Blackstone, the learned
and popular commentator on the constitu-
tion and laws of England, was born in 172.3,
and at about the age of seven commenced
his education ia the Charter-house, on the
foundation of which he was admitted in
1735. In this seminary he applied himself
to every branch of useful education, with the
same assiduity which accompanied his stu-
dies through after-life. His talents and
industry rendered him the favourite of his
masters, who encouraged and assisted him
with tlie utmost attention, so that at fifteen
he was at the head of the school, and, al-
though so young, was thought well qualified
to be removed to the university. He was
accordingly entered a commoner at Pem-
broke College, in Oxford, on the 30th of

3.

November, 1738, and was the next day ma-
triculated. At this tinu; he was elected to one
of the Cliarter-house exhibitions, by the go-
vernors, to commence from tlie Michaelmas
preceding ; but was permitted to continue a
scholar tliere till after the 12th of December,
being the anniversary commemoration of
the founder, to give him an opportunity of
speaking the customary oration, which he
had prepared, and which did him great cre-
dit. About this time, also, he obtained Mr.
Benson's gold prize-medal of Milton, for
verses on that illustrious poet. Thus, before
he quitted school, did his genius begin to ap-
pear, and to receive public marks of appro-
bation and reward ; and so well pleased were
the Society of Pembroke College witli their
young pupil, that, in February following,
they unanimously elected him to one *of
Lady Holford's exhibitions for Charter-house
scholars in that house. At the university lie
prosecuted his studies with unremitting ar-
dour ; and although the classics, and parti-
cularly the Greek and Roman poets, were
his favourites, they did not entirely engross
his attention ; logic, mathematics, and the
other sciences, were not neglected. From
the first of these, studied rationally, and ab-
stracted from the jargon of the schools, he
laid the foundation of that close method of
reasoning for which he was so remarkable ;
and from the mathematics, be not only ac-
quired the habit of accustoming his mind to
a close investigation of every subject that
occurred to him, till he arrived at the degree
of demonstration of which the nature of it
would admit, but he converted that dry
study, as it is usually esteemed, into an
amusement, by pursuing the branch of it
which relates to architecture. This science
he was peculiarly fond of, and made himself
so far master of it, that, at the early age of
twenty, he compiled a treatise, entitled Ele-
ments of Architecture, intended for his own
use only, and not for publication, but which
was esteemed, by those judges wlio have
perused it, in no respect unworthy of hia.
maturer judgment.

Having determined to embrac^e the pro-
fession of the law, he entered himself of the
Middle Temple ; and, in 1744, he quitted
Oxford, and those classical pursuits which
were so congenial to his taste. This transi-
tion to studies of a less pleasing nature, he
very feelingly commemorated in an elegant
poem, entitled, The Lawyer's F.arewell to his
Muse, wliich was afterwards printed in the
fourth volume of Dodslcy's Collection, and
Avhich is allowed to display a very early
N N

maturity of taste and judgment. He now
applied himself with great assiduity to the
study of his profession, dividing his resi-
dence between the Temple and the Univer-
sity, a place to which he always retained his
youtliful attachment. He had been elected
a fellow of All Souls College in 1743, and
on the 28th of November, 174G, he was called
to the bar. As he was very deficient in elo-
cution, and possessed none of tlie popular
talents of an advocate, his progress in the
profession was extremely slow ; and being
without any avocations of business, the active
turn of his mind displayed itself in the office
of bursar, or steward, of All Souls. In this
situation he is said to have merited great
praise for his skill and diligence in arrang-
ing the records, andimpro\ing the revenues,
of the College, and in expediting the neces-
sary measures for completing the magnificent
structure of the Codrington library. In 1749,
he was appointed, through the interest of a
relation, recorder of Wallingford, in Berk-
shire; and in the foUowingyear, probably with
a view to more constant residence at Oxford,
he took the degree of doctor of laws. Having
now attended the courts of law at Westmin-
ster for seven years, without success, he de-
termined to quit the practice of his profes-
sion, and retire to his fellowship at Oxford.
The system of education in the English uni-
versities supplying no provision for teaching
the laws and constitution of the country. Dr.
Blackstone undertook to remedy this defect,
by a course of lectures on that important
subject; and the manner- in which he exe-
cuted the task has conferred a lasting dis-
tinction on Oxford. His first course was
delivered in 1753, and was repeated for a
series of years, with increasing effect and re-
putation. These lectures doubtless sug-
gested to Mr. Viner the idea of founding, by
his will, a liberal establishment in tlie uni-
versity of Oxford for thestudy of the common
law ; and Dr. Blackstone was, with great
propriety, chosen the first Vinerian profes-
sor. The reputation which he had acquired
by his lectures induced him, in tlie year
1759, to return to the Temple, and resume
his attendance at Westminster-hall ; and he
now advanced with great rapidity in the ca-
reer of his profession. In 17(51, he was
chosen member of Parliament for Hindon,
and received a patent of procedure to rank
as King's counsel, having previously de-
clined the office of chief justice of Ireland.
On the establishment of the Queen's house-
hold, in 17G3, he was appointed solicitor-
general to her majesty.

The first volume of liis Commentaries on
the Laws of England was published at Ox-
ford, in 4to. in the year 17(J5, and the other
three volumes followed soon afterwards.
This work, to which he is indebted for the
permanence of his reputation, compreliends

the substance of his academical prelections,
and is by far the most elegant and popular
book on the municipal laws of England
wliich has yet appeared. Before the publi-
cation of Blackstone's Commentaries the
study was generally considered as extremely
repulsive, but he has treated it with a degree
of elegance and interest which may recom-
mend it to every inquisitive reader.

On the resignation of Mr. Dunning, in
1770, he was offered the situation of solicitor-
general, which naturally leads to the highest
offices of the law ; and on his declining it, he
was appointed one of the justices of the
Court of Common Pleas. In this honoura-
ble and tranquil station he continued till the
time of his death, which happened in conse-
quence of a dropsy, on the 14th of February,
1780. His health, which had been consi-
derably impaired by the labours of his early
years, by an unfortunate aversion from ex-
ercise, and perhaps by some habits of excess,
had been declining for some time, but it had
begun seriously to fail towards the latter
end of the preceding year.

The private character of Blackstone seems
to have been highly estimable for mildness,
benevolence, and every social and domestic
virtue. A love of business, and useful em-
ployment, was one of the ruling passions of
his life ; and the leisure which he employed
during his latter years was devoted to
schemes of social improvement in the neigh-
bourhood where he resided, or to great pub-
lic undertakings.

DOD, OF EDGE.

DOD, CHARLOTTE, of Edg-e Hall, in the county of Chester, succeeded her
father in 1829.

Uincage.

HovA, son of Cadwgan Dot, the founder
of this family, about the time of Henry II.
settled at Edge, in Cheshire, in consequence
of his marriage with the daughter and
heiress of the Lord of Edge, with whom he
had a fourth of the manor. Tlie name of
the proprietor whose daughter Hova mar-
ried does not appear, hut it is probable that
he was the son of Edwin, a Saxon thane,
who was allowed, after the Norman con-
quest, to retain possession of his lands at
Edge, in Cheshire. " Presuming this de-
scent," says Ormerod, " it is impossible to
overlook the following particulars : — Dot,
the Saxon lord of sixteen manors, either
exclusively, or of a considerable proportion
thereof, was joint Lord of Cholmondeley,
Hampton, Gropi)enhall, and two-thirds of
Bickerton, with this very Edwin. Dot was
ejected from all liis manors, and the cir-
cumstance of the heiress of the relics of
Edwin's lands matching herself with a man
who bore the name of one so closely con-
nected with her apparent ancestor (prefixing
thereto the addition of a name derived from
the land to which that friend of her ancestor
would be most likely to fly for shelter),
seems to make this marriage the result of
old family friendship and alliance, and to
lead to a deduction of Cadwgan Dot, from
the Dot of Domesday. A descent in the
male line from a Saxon, noticed in that re-
cord, would be unique in the county of

Chester." The Dod pedigree entered, by
Baron Dod, in the visitation of 1613, gives
four descents after Cadwgan, and again
commences with Hova Dod, after which i»
proceeds in a clear descent.

The last named

Hova Dod, had two sons : the younger,
John of Smith's Pentrey, in Broxton, mar-
ried Margery, daughter of Hugh le Byrd,
of Broxton, and the elder,

Thomas Dod, of Edge, temp. Edward III.
wedded Mabell, daughter of David Mere,
and had two sons, namely,

Thomas, his heir.

John, of Farndon, living temp. Ri-
chard II. who m. Johanna, daughter
and lieiress of John Warren, of
Ightfield, in Shropshire, and was an-
cestor of the DoDS of Cloverley, now
represented by John- Whitehall
Dod, esq. of Cloverley. (See vol. i.
p. 297.)

The elder son, ~

Thomas Dod, of Edge, m. Mary, or Ma-
tilda, daughter of David Bird, of Broxton,
and left a son and successor,

David Dod, of Edge, who espoused Ce-
cilia, daughter and co-heiress of William
de Bickerton, and was father of

Sir Anthony Dod, of Edge, one of the
heroes of Agincourt, knighted by King
Henry on that memorable field. He died
on his return homewards, and was interred
in the cathedral of Canterbury. His son
and heir,

David Dod, of Edge, was one of the
Cheshire gentlemen who signed the suppli-
cation to Henry VI. respecting the liberties
of the palatinate. He m. first, a daughter
of the ancient family of Downes, of Shrig-
ley, and, secondly, a daughter of Piers
Stanley, of Ewlowe. By the former, he
left at his decease a son and successor,

Stephen Dod, of Edge, omitted in tlie
visitation and in the pedigrees by Sir Hi-
chard St. George. He was living 24th
Henry VI. and married Beatrix, daughter
and heiress of Thomas Willaston, of Wil-
laston, in the county of Salop, by whom he
had a son,

and I4tli KowAKD IV.ulio tn. Anno, daii^li-
ter of Hu^li Masscy, «'»<1. of Co(ldin;4ton, in
Clu'tfliiro, and liad two sons, namely,
John, Ills heir.

David, who founded tlie family of Dod,
of Shocklaeh, which gave a dignitary
to tlie eatiiedral of Ciiester. in Tho-
mas Dod, who was possessed of the
family estate, and was archdeacon of
Rieliniond, dean of Kippon, and rec-
tor of Asthury and Malpas. Of the
Shocklaeh line, was also John Dod,
the dec.alogist, uncle to Dr. Dod,
whom we luive just mentioned. This
eminent man, who was born in 1047,
associating much Avith Drs. Fuike,
Chaderton, and Whitaker, imbibed
the principles and strictness for
' which they were famous, and con-

ceived an early dislike to some of
the ceremonies or discipline of the
church, but to w hich we are not told.
After taking orders, he first preached
a weekly lecture at Ely, until invited
by Sir Anthony Cope to be minister
of Hanwell in Oxfordshire, in 1577,
where he became a constant and di-
ligent preacher, and highly popular.
Nor was his hospitality less conspi-
cuous, as he kej)t an open table on
Sundays and Wednesdays, lecture
days, generally entertaining on these
occasions from eight to twelve persons
at dinner. At Hanwell he remained
twenty years, in the course of which
he married, and had a large family ;
but, owing to his non-conformity in
some points, he was suspended by
Dr. Bridges, Bishop of Oxford. After
this he preached for some time at
Fenny-Compton, in Warwickshire,
and from thence was called to Can-
nons Ashby, in Northamptonshire,
where he was patronised by Sir
Erasmus Dryden ; and here again
he was silenced, in consequence of a
complaint made by Bishop Neale to
King James, who commanded Arch-
bishop Abbott to pronounce that sen-
tence. Dui'ing this suspension of his
public services, he appears to have
written his Commentary on the De-
calogue and Proverbs, which he pub-
lished in conjunction with one Robert
Cleaver, probably another silenced
puritan, of whom we can find no ac-
count. At length, by the interest of
the family of Knightley, of North-
amptonshire, after the death of King
James, he was presented in 1624 to
the living of Faw esley, in that county.
Here he recommended himself as
before, not more by his earnest and
aft'ectionate services in the pulpit.

than by Iiis charity and hospitality,
and particularly by liis Irecpicnt visits
and advice, which last he delivered
ill a manner peculiarly striking. A
gnat many of his sayings became
almost ])roverbial, and remained so
for above a century, being, as may
yet be remembered, i're(|uently jirint-
ed in a small tract and suspended in
every cottage. At the breaking out
of the rebellion he was a considerable
suil'erer, his house being plundered,
as the house of a j)iiritan, although
he was a decided enemy to the pro-
ceedings of the republicans. AVhen
they were about to abolisli the order
of bishops, &c. Dr. Browning sent to
Mr. Dod for his opinion, who an-
swered, " that he had been scan-
dalised with the proud and tyrannical
practices of the Marian bishojJS ; but
now, after more than sixty years' ex-
perience of many protestant bishops,
who had been worthy preachers,
learned and ortliodox writers, great
chamjiions for the protestant cause,
he wished all his friends not to be
any impediment to them, and ex-
horted all men not to take up arms
against the king, which was his doc-
trine, he said, upon the fifth com-
mandment, and he would never depart
from it." He died in August, 1645,
at the very advanced age of ninety-
seven, and was buried at Fawsley.
Fuller says, " with him the old pu-
ritan seemed to expire, and in his
grave to be interred. Humble, meek,
patient, as in his censures of, so in
his alms to others." The celelarated
Dr. Wilkins was his grandson.
The elder son,

John Dod, esq. of Edge, married Emma,

of the Dod estate in Edge, in a place called
the Hall Heys, are vestiges of a mansion,
which was most probably the earliest resi-
dence of the family. The present seat is of
considerable antiquity, but has been so re-
peatedly altered in various styles, that no
date can be inferred from its architecture.
This house has also been moated, and
stands very low, the ground sloping to it
in almost every direction ; at the back is a
parklike enclosure, ascending gently to a
terrace, on the summit of a rocky eminence
well planted with trees, through the inter-
stices of which the eye commands the
higher Broxton and Bickerton hills behind,
and in front, the Clwydian range, with
loftier mountains above them, seen over
the broad vale of Chester. On the right
the estuaries appear in the distance, and
on the left is a boundless continuation of
the magnificent vale below, broken in some
places by the Montgomeryshire hills, and
completely losing itself in the vista.

Mr. Richards succeeded his father in 1823. He is accountant-general of the Court
of Exchequer, and a deputy-lieutenant for Merionethshire,

The estate of Caerynwch has been pos-
sessed by the maternal ancestors of Mr.
Richards for many centuries.

John Humphreys, gent, living in 1700,
married Grace, daughter and heir of Ro-
bert Vaughan, of Caerymvch, by whom he
acquired that estate, and had a son and
successor,

Sir Richard Richards, son of Thomas
Richards, esq. of Coed, and Catherine his
wife, sister of the Rev. Mr, Parry, warden
of Ruthin. This gentleman, h. in 1752,
adopting the legal profession, rose to emi-
nence, and obtained great practice at the
bar. In 1813, he was appointed chief jus-
tice of Chester ; in 1814, one of the barons
of the exchequer ; and, in 1817, chief baron
upon the demise of Sir A. Thompson. " In
the whole circle of his profession," says a
writer in the Gentleman's Magazine, " no
man stood higher in private estimation or
public respect than Sir Richard Richards.
His peculiar urbanity and benevolence,
which |)ervadrd every action of his life,
gained for him the affectionate '[^attachment

of all who had the happiness to share his
acquaintance : his whole time was spent,
when free from the cares of his judicial du-
ties, in the exercise of philanthropy, and
the offices of social life. As a lawyer and
a judge, his decisions, particularly in ex-
chequer cases, were sound, and built upon
the firm basis of deep penetration. He fully
enjoyed the friendship and confidence of the
lord chancellor, for whom on several occa-
sions he presided, under special commission,
as speaker of the House of Lords." By
Catherine, the heiress, of Caerynwch, Sir
Richard had issue,

Hfntadc.

Tlie first settler in England of this family,
on genc'aloi;ical record, is " (iKUARD DE
KoDKS, a fendal baron, tlie capital seat of
whose barony was Horn Castle, in Liiicoln-
sliire : he lived in the reigns of Henky II.,
KicHAKD I.,.I(>iiN, and Henky III., from all
of whom he receiv ed great fa\ours ; and by
King John was sent embassador to foreign
parts 29th March, in the 9th year of his
reign."

It is probable that Gerard de Rodes was
one of the family of the Counts d'Armagnac
and Rodes, or Rhodes, mentioned by Frois-
sart, vol. X. p. 354, who came over with
Henry II, and Margaret his mother, from
Normandy; but as these Counts seem de-
signated by the first title, D'Armagnac, it is
equally, and perhaps more probable, that
his ancestor was a De Rhodes, hereditary
knight* of Flanders, mentioned in Frois-
sart, (vol. i. p. 121, and elsewhere), among
the nobility of Flanders, who came over
with the EaVl of Flanders and Tofti, Harold's
brother, to assist William the Conqueror.

As we find in Camden that the barony of
Horn Castle was a soke, or seigniory of
thirteen lordships, Gerard de Rodes was
consequently a greater baron ; and as em-
bassador he attained a still higher rank ; his
absence in that capacity will account for his
name not occurring on the Roll of Magna
Charta : there is no genealogical account of

* Flanders was at that period generallv in alli-
ance with England. We find in Froissart a Sir
John de Rhodes, among- other knights, coming
over to Yorkshire to serve in Edward's army
against Bruce, vol. i. p. 40. We, however, see
subsequently, p. 12.5, the same knight, or his des-
cendants, Sir John de Rhodes, laving down his
life for his legitimate sovereign in the island of

the extinction of the baronial title; but we
find in Camden that the barony itself was
given by HiciiAUD \\. to the JJi.shop of (3ar-
lysle and his successijrs.f

he had three wives ; the first was Aunt',

Dorothy, daughter of George Savile, esq.
of Wakefield, in Yorkshire, grandson of Sir
John Savile, of Thornhill, by whom he had
one son, John Rhodes, of Horbury, sup-
posed, from presumptive evidence, to have
been ancestor of the Devonshire family of

Earl of Strafford, there was a wide difference in
the political views of each. Few persons entered
more eagerly into the objects contemplated by the
parliament, when affairs were advancing to a cri-
sis ; and it was for the most part to Sir Edward
Rhodes, and his two friends the Hothams, that
the scheme for maintaining the peace of York-
shire, arranged by the two great parties at Roth-
well before the war began, was frustrated : his
zeal might be quickened by personal injury; for
in the beginning of September, 1642, an attack
was made on his house at Great Houghton, by a
party of royalists under the command of Captain
Grey, when, according to the diurnals of the time,
all the outhouses were burnt, his goods plun-
dered to the amount of £600, his lady uncivilly
treated, some of his servants wounded, and one
slain. One of the stipulations at the treaty of
Rothwell was that reparation should be made to
Sir Edward Rodes for the injury done him."

" Of all the gentry of Yorkshire," says Clarendon,
" there were only two dissenters, on the parlia-
ment side, to that engagement of neutrality, young
Hothani and Sir Edward Rodes who, although of
better quality, was not so much known or consi-
dered as the other ; but they quickly found se-
conds enough when the parliament refused to
ratify the treaty, and declared it to be injurious
to the common cause,"— Hisfory of the Rebellion.

Plis name is not prominent in the history of the
military affairs of the time ; he served under

Langdale, first Lord Langdale, and Cathe-
rine, the wife of Sir George Hotham, and a

Cromwell at the battle of Preston, and was sent
in ))ursuit of the Duke of Hamilton : he liad a
colonel's commission from Cromwell in 1654, and
was one of his privy council : it would seem that
he was much in Scotland ' during the protec-
torate, for he was returned member to one of
Cromwell's parliaments for the shire of Pertli, at
the same time that his son was returned for Lin-
lithgow, Stirling, and Clackmannan. At the res-
toration he was allowed to retire quietly to liis
house at Great Houghton, where he was living at
Sir William Dugdale's visitation, but died soon
after.

* This John is stated in a pedigree drawn up
by Robert Dale, Blancii Lion, in 1695, to have
been cast away at sea. There appears however to
be considerable doubt as to the fact, which most
probably refers to John, of Horbury, the brother
of the first bart.

RHODES, OF BELLAIR AND SllAPWlCK.

of Medicine; inherited the estates at the decease of his cousin, Ambrose Andrew
Rhodes, esq. one of the g-entlemen of the privy chamber to his Majesty Kincj George
III. in November, 1800.'*

<mi^-

John Rhodes, of Horbury, the eldest
sonofSir Jobn Rhodes, knt. of Barlborout;!!,
is supposed to have been the first f settler
in Devonshire, where, by tlie professional
industry, talent, and integrity of his pos-
terity, one of them, in the person of Am-
brose Rhodes, esq. of Buckland House,
Bucklaud, Toussaint, was restored to that
rank in society from which his progenitor
had been displaced.

.John, of Horbury, is so designated in
VVotton, and in the pedigree]: at the herald's
college, where it is added, " that he was
disinherited." This exact coincidence witli
the family tradition, together with an oral
communication § between one of the Barl-
borough family and the grandfather of the
present Mr. Rhodes in 1755, appears to
identify John Rhodes, of Horbury, with
John Rhodes, the first settler atModbury, in
Devon, whose marriage to Blanche Hamlyn,
in 1610, is on the Modbury register. As
none of the name occur again on the regis-
ter, until 1663, this omission also corres-
ponds with another part of the family tra-
dition, as will appear hereafter.

We are thus enabled, by tradition, con-
firmed by correspondence of name, time,
and place ; by the credibility of witnesses ;
by presumptive and collateral evidence; and
an examination of cotemporary public re-
cords, to follow the fortunes, and trace the
family history of this gentleman and his
descendants, for two generations without
having liad access to any other *\\ account of
him but the two brief notices above men-
tioned.

Following those guides, it will appear

* l\lr. Rhodes, in right of his mother, is representative of the family of Sleecli, of Sussex, now ex-
tinct in name, and, through his maternal gran(hnotlier has become, by the recent death of John Bur-
ridge Cliolwich, esq. of Faringdon House, and Choiwich I'own, the lineal representative of that
ancient Saxon family. He is descended both paternally and maternally from the Earls of Devon and
the Flantagenets.

t Acne of the name of Rhodes were, previously to 1610, to be found in Devonshire, nor indeed,
at the present period, is there another fiunily of the name in any of the three western counties.

X Recently examined, 1834-

^ Tlie result of this interview, as communicated by Mrs. Bridget Ilartwell, a near relative of
the present {)roprietor, who was at it, was briefly as follows: " I'hat the armorial bearings' of the
parties were found, on com])arison, to be similar ; that the first settler at Modbury was the eldest
son of a knifiht, yvho, find'inii himadt' disinherited hu his Jhther, sailed from y'()?-A.s/iJ?-(' to Germany ; and
returning shortly alter, was shipwrecked in Bigbury Bay; landed at Marlborough, and purchased
j)roperty at Modbury."

second son, Francis, was created a baronet, l()4t." *

" He was born at Kemberg, a town near Witten-
berg, in Saxony, in 1577 ; his father was Am-
brose Rhodes,* consul at that place ; his mother,
the daughter of INlatthew Winckell, the superior
of its church. After a previous classical edu-

studentship given to him by the elector, he was
instructed in the sciences of mathematics and
medicine. Shortly after, by the recommendation

Amuiiosi. I\ii(>i)i:s,the son of.lcjhn Rhodes
and lilanche llamlyn, was educated at the
l!niver>ity of" W ittenberg, and took the
degree of doctor of medi(-ine. He mar-
ried, according- to the date on an (jld piece
of i)late, a wedding present, in I0'38. His
wife was, traditionally, one of the daughters
of Ambrosius Rhodius, his godfather. Il(;
practised at Christiana, in Norway, and was
professor of natural philosophy at the col-
lege there ; but, according to Moreri (Sup-
plement), interfering- imi)riidently in political
affairs, he was confined in the fortress of
Wardehuis, in IGfiO, and died a year or two
after in imprisonment. He wrote "Do As-
trornm Inflexu," 1042, " De Transmutatione
Animarum Pytliagorea," and sundry medi-
cal treatises.

His son and successor,

AmbuosI': Riiodks, h. 1640, having re-
ceived a medical education at Christiana,
came, after the death of his father, under
such unfortunate circumstances, to England,
and took possession of the small patrimo-
nial i)roperty at Modbury, in Devon, to
w hich he made some additions, and practised
as a physician in that town until the time of
his death, in 1689. He married first, 1663,

of Melchier Justel, he went to Prague to assist
Tyclio Braye in his observations ; he there ob-
tained the friendship of the celebrated Kepler.

On his return to Wittenberg, after a tour
through Moravia and Syria, he gave lectures
in mathematics, and was elected mathematical
professor in 1609, with a stipend from the I'dector
of Saxony ; and became doctor of medicine in
1610. In 16iy Jie married Catherine, d-aughter
of John Tanger, his predecessor in office, and
had a large family. He brought water, at his
own expense, into the city of AVittenberg, whicli
water was called the Aqua Rhodia. After attain-
ing other university honours and preferments, he
died of apoplexy, at the age of lifty-six, in 16;5,').
He wrote on the Comet, in 1618 ; on Twilight ;
on the use of Learning in a Republic. The
following anagram was added to his epitaph, by
Augustus Bucknerus.

" lo IMUSIS DAS nOBUIi."

It will appear, from the above anagram, that this
celebrated man was also a poet, or critic. Being
also classed by Freherus among the arclnatres, or

good ICarl of Warwick, elder brother of the l^arl
of Leicester, who, at the probable time of his
birth, in 1.552, was serving in the Spanish armies
in the low countries ; and subse(piently patro-
nised commerce, and was said to have speculated
in the woollen trade, which was not thought at
that ]iPviod beneath the dignity of a nobleman.
In tlit^ time of Froissart, that branch of commerce
was of such importvince, that we see a delegate-
of the staple sent to Flanders, with the arbitriuiLn
of peace or war.

" George Prestwood, esq. who was sheriff of
the county in 1692, whose ancestor, several
generations back, transplanted himself from
Worcestershire, where the present gentle-
man possesses still a fair paternal estate."
Risdon, also, speaking of Baterford, says,
" William Gibbs, of Fenton, sold the same

physicians to kings, and being a privy counsellor
of the Elector, and professor more than twenty
years, he ranked, by German law, as a nobleman, |
and was a member of the Upper Diet. Family
tradition has always spoken of him as also an
astrologer, and practiser of legerdemain, which
is highly probable, as astrology was in those days
almost invariably connected with astronomy ; and
he, no doubt, caught his conjuring propensities
from Tycho Braye, who is said by Cox,' in Ids
Memoirs, to have entertained James I. who visited
him at Prague, with various feats of jugglery .'-
Much matter of curious investigation is afforded
by the connexion in those days of the abstruse
sciences with magic, of astronomy with prophecy,
the fate of nations and of princes, which has been
turned to a poor account by some late writers on
these subjects. — Tour in Denmark, tSfc.

worsted, habited as a knight, performing tricks of
legerdemain before knights and ladies. Under-

The initials are those of Lady Charity Treby,
wife of tbe Hon. Sir George Treby, secretary at
war, of Plvmpton House, a near relative and
neighbour of Mr. Rhodes, of Buckland ; this web
was probably, therefore, her workmanship. (See

is inscribed on a monument erected to Captain
Rhodes, in Heavitree church, together with a
fraternal tribute to his memory. " Whilst lead-
ing the storming party to the breach, his right
arm was shattered to pieces by a musket ball ;
notwithstanding which, he mounted the breach,
waved his hat, and fell, pierced by eleven balls."
" If ever honour, courtesy and truth,
Deck'd the fair forehead of ingenuous youth.
If wisdom, stamp'd on manhood's early pride.
And inborn courage, ah ! too nobly tried !
If snatch'd untimely from this nether sphere,
Accomplish'd worth might ever claim a tear ;
Such tribute, O lamented shade ! is thine ;
O, formed alike in camps or courts to siiine,
The chieftain's mirror, and the soldier's friend.
Pure was thy life, and glorious was its end :
Sons of Iberia, scatter round his tomb
Such flowers as soonest fade and earliest bloom •
Cull the first fragrance of the opening year ;
New plant thy vine and nurse tliine olive there.
For in thy deadliest breach he foremost stood,
And seal'd thy country's freedom with his blood ;
Yes, I had hoped, when hush'd the voice of strife.
To walk with him, what yet remain'd of life; —
Just as we thought to greet him, he was gone ; —
Father of heav'n ajid earth, thy will be done."

t Died 1739, a^t. 71. The exact coincidence
of the date of the decease of Ambrose Rhodes and
his progenitor, Sir .Tohn lUiodes, in two follow-
ino- centuries, the latter of whom disinherited,
the former of whom established an eldest son, is
worthy of remark ; as also, that Sir John Rhodes,

cond son of Sir .lohu Rhodes, knt. died about
this time, 17 4;5, childless, whilst the third repre-
sentative, or great-grandson of the eldest son, left

have been the original from which Fielding
drew his portrait | of Sophia Western.
Henry Fielding, the son of General Field-
ing, and Miss Gould, daughter of Judge
Gould, of Sharpham§ Park, Somerset, and
grandson of the Earl of Denbigh, had pro-
bably been in the habits of intimacy with
his cousin, Miss Andrew, from their ear-
liest years. At his return from his studies
at Leyden, when he was one-and-twenty,
their acquaintance seems to have been re-
newed, after her father's death, at the resi-
dence of one of her guardians and uncles,
Andrew Tucker, esq. of Lyme Regis ; and
the attentions of Mr. Fielding were so
marked and assiduous, || that it was thought
prudent to remove tlie young lady to the
residence and care of another of her guar-
dians and near relatives, Ambrose Rhodes,
esq. of Modbury, to whose eldest son, tiieu
an Oxonian, she was shortly ^ afterwards
married. Mr. Rhodes resided for thirty
years at Buckland House, Buckland Tous-
saint. He is the same gentleman men-
tioned in the Memoirs of Bampfylde More
Carew as having been imposed on by that
hero in two different disguises, at his seat
near Kingsbridge, and a tiiird time, in the
same day, at Modbury. Upon the sale of
Buckland by his relative, Mr. Southcot, he
purchased, and resided at, Bellair. By
Sarah, his wife, Mr. Rhodes had a daughter,
Mary, who d. aged twenty-four, and a son,
Ambrose-Andrew Rhodes, esq. of Bel-
lair, who succeeded his father in 1777, and
became possessed of considerable landed
property in the parish of Modbury, together
with the great tithes ; also, in right of his
mother, of divers estates and manors in
Devon, Dorset, and Somersetshire. He
was appointed gentleman of the privy
chamber to His "Majesty George IlL in
1786, and dying unmarried in 1800, was s.
by his cousin, the present George- Am-
brose Rhodes, esq. of Bellair.

§ Fielding is reported to have subsecjuently
composed part of his Tom Jones in the Tennis
Court at Sharpliam, in the intervals of tlie games.
Pliny the younger found iiunting favourable to
composition ; Addison, the stimulus of wine ;
Fielding, that of tennis.

II It is rejjorted that he made an unsuccessful
attemjit at abduction.

f The marriage of this gentleman seems a
(|uicker step than he was at that time accustomed
to, if we m-.iy judge from the following epitaph
maele for hiu"i, when at Oxford, he havhig in-
herited somewhat of a German phlegmatic tem-
perament, and always walking very slow.

" Here lies old Rhodes, quite out of breath ;
Ho walk'd too slow, to outwalk Death."

Of the remote | origin of this family, now
extinct in name, nothing is at present accu-
rately known ; they were formerly settled
in Kent at Eton Bridge, and in Sussex about
Little Hampton, bearing for arms, as ap-
pears in Canulen's Register, " checkers, or
and gules ; a canton sinister, argent." Of
those in Sussex, Captain Richard Sleech, the
last male, had a grandson by a daughter,

Edwakd Slkf.ch, esq. of the Kent branch,
who first settled at Windsor about 1660-70,
and m. Anne Saunders, by whom (who re-
married after his death, in 1681, the Rev.
Jolin Newborougli, master of Eton college)
lie had a daughter, Lucy, married to the
Rev. Stephen Weston, fellow of Eton, and
afterwards Bishop of Exeter ; and

racteristic of the journey to London of the country
squire in those days, and may remind us of Squire
Western and Mrs. Honour : — " Shortly after Mr.
Rhodes's arrival in London, one of his men ser-
vants, walking out into the street, lost his way ;
and the housekeeper, in great trouble, suggested
his being cried. Robin, however, a lad of more
than Devonian acuteness, in his perplexity, saw

so happened that the razor-grinder passed near

Robin. On hearing- the above crv, she exclaimed,
in great jov, " Here's our Robin cried, sure
enough ; and here he is himself," i?ve.

which the following lines are charac-
teristic and appropriate :

perhaps in natural beauties, was purchased thirty
years since, and adorned by the present proprietor.

very uncommon ; and only one occurrence of it
suggests itself in Sleech Wood, in the parish of
Up Lyme, Devon, belonging to — Henley, esq.
The tenure would probablv explain the appella-
tion ; if held under the college of Eton, it evi-
dently was so called after one of the Sleeches,
provosts and masters of that college and school :
an additional coincidence, apparently a casual one,
is worthy of remark ; Sleech Wood, a verv fine
and extensive one, in the back ground of the old
residence of the Henlevs, forms a beautiful fea-
ture in the prospect from Rhode, the seat of Sir
.Tohn Talbot, and from Wodehouse, that of Mr.
Rhodes, situated on two parallel hills. Rhode
was called after Rhode Horn, a promontory adja-
cent ; both were jjart of the Drake property of Ash.

e o

The family of Lattin claims descent from
that of EsTOUTEViLLE, in Normandy, of
which was

William de Stuteville, who obtained a
cardinal's hat in 1439 from Pope Eugenil's
IV. The Stutevilles, subsequently to the
Conquest, were barons of Lydesdale Castle,
in Cumberland, and in feudal times were
men of great power, as well through their
warlike habits, as their vast territorial pos-
sessions. Their estates lay in the counties
of Rutland, Cumberland, Lincoln, and War-
wick. Of the Warwickshire lands, those
at Monk's Kirby were eventually granted
by John de Stuteville to the monks of Pip-
well, in North Hants. Camden, in his Re-
mains, establishes that surnames were first

LATTIN, OF MORRISTOWN LATTIN.

adopted for distinction sake, and descended
to the eldest son only, the others deriving-
tlieir appellations from the lands allotted
as their patrimony. It is at least probable,
therefore, that Walter de Latton (who ap-
pears, from unquestionable records, to have
been at a very early era in North Wilts)
assumed his from his residence, retaining
still his paternal (the Stuteville) arms.
From the Lattins of Lattin diverged several
branches, seated in various parts of Eng-
land, and enjoying high respectability, — the
Lattins of Upton, in Berks ; of Esher, in
Surrey, &c. &c. ; as well as the family which
obtaining from King John considerable
grants of hxnd in Ireland, settled there, and
became seated at Morristown Lattin, in Kil-
dare.

William Lattin, esq. of Morristown Lat-
tin, chief of the Irish branch at the com-
mencement of the seventeenth century, sat
ill parliament for the borough of Naas, (in
1621), and founded in that town an asylum
for the support of four poor women, which
has been endowed and kept up, agreeably
to the intention of the founder, by the fa-
mily, to the present time. This William

tin, who wedded a daughter of • — Caddell,

Sir William St. Loe, knt. released all his
right in tlie Manor of Cluirchill, in Somer-

Jenyns, sold it to John Churchill, esq. of
Lincoln's Inn.

fairest and brightest com-
plexion that ever was seen ;
her hair a most beauteous
flaxen, her countenance ex-
tremely animated, though,
generally, persons so exqui-
sitely fair have an insipi-
dity ; her whole person was
fine, particularly her neck
and bosom. The cliarms of
her person, and tlie imaf-
fected sprightliness of her
wit, gained her the general
admiration of the whole
court; in these fascinating
qualities she had there
(Charles's court) other com-
petitors ; but scarcely one,
except Miss Jenyns, main-
tained throughout the cha-

* Of the Ducliess of Tyrconnell we have a
most interesting- account in Mrs. Jameson's
" Beauties of the Court of Cuaiilf.s II." " Last
came," says that accomplished writer, " the hero-
ine of our last memoir, the fiiir, the elegant, the
fascinating Frances Jennings ; she who moved
through the glittering court ' in unblenched ma-
jesty,' who robbed the men of their liearts, the
women of their lovers, and never lost herself
The very model of an intellectual coquette ;
perhaps a little too wilful, a little too wary for a
perfect woman ; but in the flush and bloom of
early youth, and in the dangerous situation in
which she was now placed, the first of these qua-
lities was only an additional cliarm, the last a
necessary safeguard. As to hearts, and such
things, to bring them to Charles's court was mere
work of supererogation ; it was like trading to
the south sea islands with diamonds and ingots of
gold, where glass beads and tinfoil bear just the
same value and answered just as well. Frances
Jennings was the eldest of the tliree daughters,
co-lieirs of Richard Jennings, esq. of Sandridge,
near St. Albans. If we may give any credit
whatever to the ondits of that time, the mother of
Miss Jennings was more remarkable for her
beauty than her discretion. Of the two other
daughters, Barbara became the wife of Mr. Grif-
fiths, a man of large fortune, and of her we hear
no more. Sarah, who was younger than Frances
bv twelve or fourteen years, became the famous
Duchess of Marlborough.

" Miss Jennings was about sixteen wlien she
was appointed Maid of Honour to the Duchess of
York. She had no sooner made her appearance
in tlie court circle, than she was at once pro-
claimed 'Oltre le belle, bella !' Over Miss Ha-
milton and Miss Stuart she had the advantage of
youth and novelty, and over the others every ad-
vantage of mind and person. Her fonn was that
of a young Aurora, newly descended to the earth ;
she never moved without discovering some new
charm, or developing some new grace. Her eyes

and hair were liglit, and her complexion trans-
cendently fair ; but the rich profusion of her long
tresses, the animated bloom upon her cheek, and
the varying expression of her countenance and
smile, left her nothing of that fadeur which often
accompanies exceeding fairness of complexion.
Her mouth, as Hamilton tells us, was not perhaps
the smallest, but was certainly the loveliest in the
world. But nature, in forming this exquisite
chef d'ceuvre, had in mercy to mankind left part
of her handy-work imperfect. Some critics de-
clared that the tip of her nose was not ' de la
derniere delicatesse,' that her hands and arms were
not quite worthy of the small foot and delicate
ankle ; and it was admitted that her eyes were
not quite as perfect as her mouth. To her ex-
ternal attractions, Miss Jennings added what
was rarely met with in the court of Charles, all
the witchery of mind and all the dignity of virtue.
Her conversation and deportment were alike irre-
sistible, from a just and delightful mixture of
softness and sprightliness. A little petulance
and caprice of temper ; a little heedlessness of
manner ; a good deal of her sex's pride ; yet
more vanity ; a quickness of imagination, which
sometimes hurried her to the verge of an impru-
dence, and a natural acuteness and readiness of
wit which as often extricated her ; —

III. Thomas, f/. unmarried.

1. Sarah, d. in infancy.

Roofer Jenyns d. in 1693. His second son,
Sir Roger Jenyns, knt. born in 1663,
purchased the estate of Bottisham, in the
county of Cambridge, and became an ac-
tive magistrate of that shire. He married
first, Martha, widow of John Mingay, by
whom, who died in 1701, he had two sons
and a daughter, Roger, Veare, and Sarah.
He wedded, secondly, Elizabeth, daughter
of Sir Peter Soame, of Heyden, in Essex,
and by her, who d. in 1723, luft at his de-
cease in 1740, a son and successor,

Soame Jenyns, esq. of Bottisham Hall, h.
in 1704. This eminent person was chosen in
1742 one of the representatives for the county
of Cambridge, from which time he sat in par-
liament until the year 1780, representing,
during these thirty-eight years, either the
county or the borough of Cambridge, except-
ing four years only, when on the call of a new
parliament, in the year 1754, he was returned
for the borough of Dunwich. He began his
political career by supporting the declining
influence of Sir Robert Walpole, and ob-
tained from that minister, the situation of a
Lord of the Board of Trade, which he re-
tained until its abolition in 1780. As a
country gentleman, Mr. Jenyns appeared
to greater advantage than as a politician,
ably and impartially fulfilling the magiste-
rial duties, and exercising the rights of hos-
pitality in his neighbourhood. It is, however,
as an author and wit that his reputation stands
on the highest ground. In 1757, appeared his
well-known " Free P^nquiry into the Nature
and Origin of Evil ;" in 1776, his celebrated
" View of the internal Evidences of the
Christian Religion ;" and in 1782, his " Dis-
quisitions on various Subjects;" which are
marked with his usual wit and slirewd obser-
vation. His last p^roduction was " Thoughts
on Parliamentary Reform," which he wholly
opposed. Soame Jenyns's works have been
published in four volumes, 12mo. with a life
by Cole. He tn. first, Mary, only daughter
of Colonel Soame, of Dereham, in Norfolk,
and secondly, Elizabeth, daughter of Henry
Grey, esq. of Hackney, but d. s.p. 18th De-
cember, 1787.

" In private life," says Mr. Cole, " he was
a man of great mildness, gentleness, and
sweetness of temper. His earnest desire
was, as far as possible, never to offend any
person." This is confirmed by tiie Reverend
Mr. Cole, of Milton, who is not remarkable
for tlie lenity of his opinions respecting his
contemporaries. "Mr. Jenyns was a "man
of lively fancy and pleasant turn of wit,

very sparkling in conversation, and full of
merry conceits and agreeable drollery, which
was heightened by his inarticulate manner
of speaking through his broken teeth, and
all this mixed with the utmost humanity
.and good-nature, having hardly ever heard
him severe upon any one, and by no means
satirical in his mirth and good-humour."

Mr. Cumberland, in liis memoirs of his own
life, gives us some characteristic traits of Mr.
Jenyns, which correspond with the above :
"A disagreement about a name or a date will
mar the best story that was ever put together.
Sir Joshua Reynolds luckily could not hear
an interrupter of this sort. Johnson would
not hear, or if he heard him would not heed
him. Soame Jenyns heard him, heeded
him, set him right, and took up his tale
where he had left it, without any diminution
of its humour, adding only a few more twists
to his snufl'-box, a few more taps upon the
lid of it, with a preparatory grunt or two,
the invariable forerunners of the amenity
that was at the heels of them. He was the
man who bore his part in all societies with
the most even temper and undisturbed hila-
rity of all the good companions whom I ever
knew. He came into your house at the
very moment you had put upon your card :
he dressed himself, to do your party honour,
in all the colours of the jay ; his lace indeed
had long since lost its lustre, but his coat
had faithfully retained its cut since the days
when gentlemen wore embroidered figured
velvets with short sleeves, boot cuffs, and
buckram skirts. As nature cast him in the
exact mould of an ill-made pair of stiff stays,
he followed her so close in the fashion of
his coat, that it was doubted if he did not
wear them : because he had a protuberant
wen just under his pole, he wore a wig,
that did not cover above half his head. His
eyes were protruded like the eyes of the
lobster, who wears them at the end of his
feelers, and yet there was room between
one of these and his nose for another wen
that added nothing to his beauty : yet I
heard this good man very innocently re-
mark, when Gibbon published his history,
' that he wondered any body so ugly could
write a book.'

" Sucli was the exterior of a man, wlio
was the cliarm of the circle, and gave a zest
to every company he came into. His plea-
santry was of a sort peculiar to himself, it
harmonized witli every thing, it was like
the bread to our dinner, you did not perliaps
nuxkc it the whole, or principal part of your
meal, but it was an admirable and whole-
some auxiliary to your other viands. Soame
Jenyns told you no long stories, engrossed
not much of your attention, and was not
angry with those that did. His thoughts
were original, and were apt to have a very
whimsical aflinity to the paradox in them.

JENNINGS, OF HAIITWI'IJ,

He wrote verses upon daiiciiij:;, and prose
upon the origin of evil ; yet he was a very
indiU'crent lut'tapliysieian, and a worse
dancer. Ill nature and personality, with
the single exception of his lines upon John-
son, I never heard fall from Jiis lips ; those
lines I have for5;otten, thon>;h I believe I
was the first person 1o whom he recited
tliem ; they were very bad, but he had been
told that Johnson ridieided his metaphysics,
and some of us iiad just then been making
extem])ore epitaphs upon each other.
Though his wit Mas harndess, the general
cast of it was ironical ; there was a terse-
ness in his repartees that had a play of
words as well as of tiiought ; as when
speaking of tlie dilVerence between laying
out money upon lands or purchasing into
the funds, he said, 'one was principal with-
out interest, and the other interest without

prin(ii)al.' (lertain it is, lie liad a l)revity
of e\[)ression that never Imng upon the ear,
and you felt the point in tiie very moment

High Peak volunteers, with the rank of major.

" The surname of Carleill or Carlisle,"
says Mr. Nicholas Carlisle, in his interesting
account of the family, " which is of great
antiquity, is evidently local, and was unques-
tionably assumed from the city of Carlisle.
Prior to the Conquest the barony of Car-

lisle, on which the city of Carlisle is erected,
and the Manor of Cumw hinton in the parish
of Wetheral, belonged to HiLDRED, thence
styled Hildredus de Carliell, a cognomen
which descended to his posterity, who were
successively knights till the invasion of

Scotland bv EnwAun I. «lien Sir William de
Carliell, then chief of the family, sold most
of liis lands in England, and removing into
Scotland, seated himself at Kinmount.

The following? descent of the Carleills,
of Sewerhy, is deduced from the parisli re-
ei^ters of Bridlino-ton, which commence in
1564 from a visitation of the county of
York, taken at Kelham, in 1G65, by William
Dugdale, and from Hopkinson's manu-

^'^JoHN Carleill, of Sewerby, who d. 2()th
January, 1578-9, must have been a person
of considerable importance from the large
possessions which lie left to his son, and his
ancestors had, doubtless, been long esta-
blished at Sewerby, though the previous
pedigree cannot be traced. He had issue,
I. Tristram, his heir.

I. Anne, m. at Bridlington, 28th Au-
' gust, 1576, to Robert Hunter, esq. of

Thornton.

The only son and successor,

Tristram Carleill, esq. of Sewerby, ?h.
first Mary Readshaw, and secondly, Ca-
therine, daughter of Randolph Rode, of
Cheshire, by the latter of whom, who rf. in
1635, he had issue,

I. Randolph, his heir.

II. Robert, baptized at Bridlington, 9th
July, 1592, a merchant at Kingston-
upon-Hull, m. Elizabeth, daughter
of Gilbert Crowtber, esq. of Eland,
in Halifax, and was father of two
sons and two daughters. The elder

of the latter, ^ -r r

Dorothy, was the second wile ot
Thomas Fairfax, esq. of Men-
ston, eldest son of the Hon. Col.
Charles Fairfax. She d in 1728,
agted ninety, and was buried in
the old church at Leeds, where
a handsome monument is erected
to her memory.
III. John, d. unmarried before 1659.

I. Anne, m. in 1606, to Richard Bur-
gess, merchant of Hull.

II. Catherine, m. to Richard Milner,
esq. of Sutton, in Holderness.

III. Jane, m. first, to — Grimston, esq.
and, secondly, to Walter Hawks-
worth, esq. of Godmundham, in York-
shire.

Tristram Carliell d. in 1618, and by an
inquisition taken at Agnes Burton, m tlie
county of York, 24tli May, 1620, appears
to have d. seized of the Manor ol Sewerby,
and of the chapel of Buckton, late parcel of

the possessions of the dissolved monastery
of Bridlington. He was succeeded by his
eldest son,

Randolph Carliell, esq. of Sewerby,
who had two wives : the first, Frances Le-
gard, d. s. p. ; by the second, Elizabeth,
daughter of Richard Knowsley, of North
Burton, in Yorkshire, he had a numerous
issue, viz.

I. Robert, his heir.

II. John, baptized at Bridlington, 4th
December, 1630, m. Jane Hardy, of
Hilston, in Holderness, and had sons
and daughters.

III. Thomas, d. unmarried in 1680.

I. Elizabeth, m. first, to Sir Theodore
Herring, of York, and, secondly, to
Henry Beale, esq. of Knottingley ;
but there seems to be some contra-
diction in Dugdale's statement, for
in the same visitation, taken at Bar-
nesley, 15th September, 1665, he
says, that Henry Beale, of Wood-
house, in the parish of Drax, m.
Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Ran-
dolph Carliell, of Sewerby, " widow
of Samuel Heron, Clk."

II. Mary, m. in 1656, to the Reverend
James Fisher. It was to this gen-
tleman, the ejected vicar of Sheflield,
in 1662, that the formation of the
first society of Dissenters in that
town is owing. He was a man of
great piety and worth, and suffered
great afflictions by fines and impri-
sonment from the violent spirit of
the times.

Preston, of Bridlington.

<^

This surname, a local one, was taken from
a hollow, iu Gaelic, BrotJiie, situated near
Dyke, iu the province of Moray. The old
writings of the family were mostly carried
away or destroyed, when Lord Leurs Gor-
don, afterwards (third) Marquis of Huntly,
burnt Brodie House, in 1645. It can how-
ever be traced very far back, and of old it
held the rank of Thane, which seems equi-
valent to that of Baron.

Malcolm, was Thane of Brodie, temp.
King Alexander III. who d. 1285, and had
a son,

Michael, Thane of Brodie and Dyke, who
had a charter from King Robert Bruce, as
his father's heir, in 1311, he is mentioned in

John, Thane of Broyd, repeatedly oc-

curs in the Chartulary of Moray, as an ar-
biter, 10th April, ult. April, and 21st May,
1492, and from him the succession of the
family is distinctly proved. He assisted the
Mackenzies against the Macdonalds at the
battle of Blair-na-park, and d. before 1511,
leaving two sons,

I. Alexander.

II. John.

The elder,

Alexander Brodie, of Brodie, had a

when he succeeded and was served heir to his
father David, I9th May, 1636, being of age
by dispensation of the Lords of Council. He
wrote the famous diary which gives a very
full and curious account of his life, and shows
liim to have been a man of piety and talent.
He represented the county of Elgin in the
parliaments of 1643, and following years of
Charles I. and, from the many parliamen-
tary committees of which he was a member,
appears to have been greatly in the confi-
dence of the estates. He accompanied George
Winram, Lord Libberton, to Holland, in
March, 1649, and was appointed an ordinary
Lord of Session, on 22nd June, that year. He

ment, on the 23rd July, but did not take his
seat on the bench till the 1st November, 1649.
He shortly afterwards proceeded to Breda,
to treat with Charles H. asto the conditions
of his return to Scotland. He was a member
of the various committees of estates ap-
pointed to rule the country during the inter-
vals of parliament, and was elected Com-
missary General to the army, in October,
le-W. Lord Brodie was one of those cited
to London, by Cromwell, in June, 1653, to
treat of a union between the two kingdoms,
but according to tlie words of his own diary,
" resolved and determined in the strength of
the Lord, to eschew and avoid employment
under Cromwell." He accordingly resisted
all the requests made to iiim, to accept of
office as a commissioner for the administra-

tion of justice, until after the deatli of the
Protector ; but shortly after that event, took
his seat on the 3rd December, 1658. He
was fined 4,800/. Scots, after the restora-
tion, although the monies disbursed by him
at Breda had not been yet repaid. He m.

Marquis of Lothian, daughter of William,
third Earl of Lothian, by Ann Ker, Countess
of Lothian, eldest daughter and heiress of
Robert, second Earl of Lothian, by Lady
Annabella Campbell, sister of the Marquis
of Argyll. Lord Brodie records the event
thus, " 28th July, My son was married with
Lady Mary Ker, and on the 31st July, 1659,
she did subscribe her covenant to and with
God, and became his, and gave herself up
to him." The Laird of Brodie was fined
24,000Z. in 1685. He made his will 25th
September, 1704, and d. in March, 1708,
leaving his wife surviving. He had no son,

STEPHENS, OF TREGENNA.

STEPHENS, SAMUEL-WALLIS, esq. of Tregcnna Castle, in the county of Corn-
wall, succeeded his father in 1834.

This family has possessed estates in Corn-
wall for four centuries at least. In the
reign of Edward IV. Jolin Stephyn settled
as a merchant in the borough of St. Ives, and
acquired considerable possessions there, still
enjoyed by his descendants. At a subse-
quent period, John Stephens, of St Ives, in
common with otliers holding a certain quan-
tity of land, was summoned to the coronation
of Chaules I. there to receive knighthood,
and pay the fees, but like many situated so
remotely from the capital, he preferred to
transmit the fine for refusal, amounting to
16/. which was levied to recruit the ex-
hausted treasury. The original receipt for
the sum, signed by the treasurer Godolphin,
is still preserved in the family.

John Stephens, esq. who purchased the
ancient manor of Killigrew, iu the county of
Cornwall, and died in 1764, was the lineal
descendant of John Stephyn, the first settled
at St. Ives. He married Mary, eldest dan.
of Samuel Phillips, esq. of Pendrea, in the
county of Cornwall, and had several sons
and daughters, who all died young, with the
exception of a daughter Anne, and a son,

Samuel Stephens, esq. M.P. for St. Ives,

GORDON, OF CULVENNAN.

GORDON, JAMES, esq. of Culvennan, in the county of Wigton, lieutenant-colonel
commandant of the Kirkcudbrightshire yeomanry cavalry, and a deputy-lieutenant ; bora
'2nd December, 1771 ; succeeded his father, Sir Alexander Gordon, 21st October, 1830,
17th September, 1816, Janet, eldest daughter and co-heir of Johnstone Hannay, of

m

Balcary, esq. but has no issue.

Hincagr.

This is a branch of the noble house of Ken-
mure and Lochinvar, which traces its des-
cent from Richard de Gordoun,in 1120, and
from the valiant Sir Adam de Gordoun, one
of the " Scots wham Bruce hath aften led."

The Culvennan tree can be surpassed by
few in the country ; it exliibits descent in
many ways from the sovereign of the realm,
including Duncan I. and Robert Bruce, as
well as from the flower of chivalry and of
nobility in England, Scotland, and Ireland.

Sir John Gordon, of Lochinvar. who d.
in 1517, (for details of whom see Viscount
Kenmure, in Burke's Peerage,) left two
sons, Sir Robert, his successor, and Wil-
liam. His estate of Craichlaw, in the county
of Wigton, he settled on his second son,

William Gordon, of Craichlaw, who d.
in 1545, and was s. by his son,

William Gordon, of Craichlaw. This
gentk'man died in 1.570, and was succeeded
by his son,

John Gordon, of Craichlaw, whose name
we find attached to the bond by the Scottish
nobility, for the establishment of James VI.
on tlie Scottish throne. He died in 1580,
and was *. by his son,

William Gordon, of Craichlaw. Tliis
gentleman purchased the estate of Culven-

nan, and dying in 1C36, was s. therein by
his son,

Alf.xander Gordon, of Culvennan, who
died in 1679, and was *. by his son,

William Gordon, of Culvennan, an en-
thusiastic prcsbyterian, suifering, with his
kinsman Sir Alexander Gordon, of Earlston,
bart. and others of the Scottish nobility and
gentry, every species of persecution, their
estates forfeited, and their mansions con-
verted into barracks for the soldiery. Mr.
Gordon's estates were however restored to
him by act of parliament, after the revolu-
tion, and dying in 1703, he was s. by his
son,

William Gordon, of Culv ennan, to whom
succeeded.

Sir Alexander Gordon, of Culvennan,
lieutenant-colonel of the Kirkcudbrightshire
local militia, and successively sheriff of the
counties of Wigton and Kirkcudbright. Sir
Alexander's pride in his great ancestor Sir
Adam, induced him to visit Dumbarton Cas-
tle, for the purpose of seeing the sword of
Sir Adam's companion in arms, the patriot
Wallace. Finding it neglected and almost
as he thought forgotten, he represented the
case to the Duke of Wellington, then at the
head of the ordnance department. The con-
sequence was, he received a letter of thanks
for his suggestions, the sword which made
" tyrants fall at every blow" was sent to the
Tower, and when properly mounted and fur-
nished, returned to Dumbarton Castle, where
it now forms a most interesting object to vi-
sitors. Sir Alexander, who was knighted in

of the Presbyterians, which preceded the
civil wars, and separated himself from his
family. Endowed with considerable merit,
learning, and ability, he opened an academy
at Sherift" Hales, Shropshire, for the educa-
tion of young men, whose principles excluded
them from the Universities. Many of his
scholars became able speakers, and promi-
nent actors in both houses of Parliament, in
l)articular Harley, Earl of Oxford. His
latter years Mr. Woodhouse passed in Lon-
don, and was an eminent preacher at Salters'
Hall. He married the daughter and heiress
of Major Hubbard, of Rearesby Hall, in
Leicestershire, and dying in 1701, left three
sons, namely,

I. William, who succeeded to his mo-
ther's estate at Rearesby, in Leices-

tations on the Apocalypse," which he re-
edited at the request of the Rev. Dr. Van-
Mildert, Regius Professor of Divinity at
Oxford, now Bishop of Durham. The fol-
lowing testimony to the excellence of the
work may be seen in a copy of the book
preserved in the library of Haitlebury Cas-
tle, which Hurd, Bishop of Worcester, be-
queathed to his successors in the see, and is
thus written in his lordship's own hand-wri-
ting : " This is the best book of its kind that
I have seen ; it owes its superiority chiefly
to two things, 1. The author's understanding
for the most parts the Apocalyptic symbols
in a spiritual, not a literal sense. 2. To the
care he has taken to fix the precise import
of those symbols, from the use made of them
by the old prophetical and other writers of
the Old and New Testament. Still many
difficulties remain, and will remain, to the
time of the end. R. W. 15th March, 1806."
Dr. Woodhouse was appointed to the Dean-
ery of Lichfield, in 1807, where he resided
during the remainder of his life. He was a

MONEY, OF MUCH MARCLE.

MONEY KYRLE, JAMES, esq. of Much Marcle, in Herefordshire, of Whetham,
in Wiltshire, and of Pitsford, in Northamptonshire, colonel in the army, and a justice
of the peace for Herefordshire, m. 27th December, 1811, Caroline-Anne, eldest daugh-
ter of Robert Taylor, esq. of Gloucester Place, Portman Square.

Colonel Money, who succeeded his father in 1808, assumed, by royal warrant, dated
April 26th, 1809, the surname of Kyrle, in addition to his patronymic, together with
the arms of that family.

Hmcncte.

c/t?:^

The Moneys having inherited the repre-
sentation of various highly distinguished
divisions of the ancient families of Kykle,
Eknle, Washbourne, and Stoughton, we
shall proceed w^th details of those descents,
until each merges in the immediate line of
Money.

In the oldest writings relative to the
Kyrles, the name is variously written Crul,
Crull, and Crulle ; afterwards Cryll, and
sometimes Cmj'/,* until at last it was univer-
sally spelt Kyrle. The first of the family
on record,

Robert Cri'l, of Altone, or Old Town,
near Ross, resided in 1295 at Homme, now
Horn Green, in the same neighbourhood.
From his son,

William Crul, of the HuUe, or Hill, in
Herefordshire, whose name occurs first in
1318, and finally in 1339, descended

Walter Kyrle, of the Hill, living in
1489, who m. and liad two sons,

p. 242).

about to treat.

and was father of

Thomas Kyrle, living about the year
1500, who m. Johan, daughter and heir of
Hugh Abrahall, esq. by Alice, his wife, dau.
of John Rudhall, esq. of Rudhall, and had,
with four daughters (one of whom, Bridget,
VI. Roger Pye, esq. of Mynde, see vol. i.
p. 350), nine sons,

I. Walter, of Walford Court, who m.
Joan, daughter of Richard Warn-
combe, esq. and had, with several
other sons, who d. s. p. a son and
successor,

Robert Kyrle, esq. of Walford
Court, high sheriff of Hereford-
shire, who m. Jane, daughter of
E. Evans, alias Bithell, esq. and
had with four daughters, (one of
whom, Penelope, married Roger
Hereford, esq. of Priors Court,)
two sons, namely,

1. James, his heir.

2. Walter, of Ross, harrister-

t There were many families in various parts of
England, in the middle of the sixteentli centurv,
possessing names and arms, each nearly approach-
ing those of Kyrle, who were probably connected
with this family.

\ Walford Court, or Manor House, still exists.
From a battery here Captain Kyrle is reported bv
tradition to have bombarded Goodrich Castle,
which, from the relative position of tlie two places,
is not improbable. The estate passed, as hereafter
shewn, ft'om the Kvrles to the Gwillyms, and was
sold by them to John Clarke, esq. of the Hill, about
the year 1727. It is now, under the will of the
late Mrs. Clarke, the property of K. Evans, esq.

* The character of this amiable man is so well
delineated by general description, that to dwell
here on his merits would be superfluous. Suffice
it to say that many a tradition of Ross and its
vicinity still bears ample testimony to the truth of
Pope's beautiful encomium, and that the memory
of " The Man of Ross" is still and ever will be
warmly cherished among the scenes of his bene-
volence. Of his ancestry is here, for the first time,
presented a full account : of his heirs, we would
add that Vandervort Kyile, his devisee, had two
sons and a daughter, Robert, Walter, and Elizabeth.
After the death of their father, the property was
bequeathed to Robert, the elder son, and his heirs
male ; he failing issue, it was to have reverted to
Walter, the second son, and his heirs male ; Wal-
ter dying without male issue, then to Elizabeth
the daughter (afterwards Rlrs. Weale), and her
heirs, male or female: but, from a flaw in the will,
Robert Kyrle cut oflf the entail and devised it to
his wife and daughter, whose descendants now
enjoy the same. The I\Ian of Ross is buried in
the chancel of Ross Church, where a handsome
monument was erected in 1776, by Lieut. Col.
James Money, in consequence of a bequest of
X200 for that purpose by Constantia, Lady Dup-
plin, of whom the colonel was executo;, and thus
the reproach of Pope,

"And what! no monument, inscription, stone!"

is deservedly done away. Lady Dupplin, in her
will, styles Mr. Kyrle her " cousen," and desires
that when the monument was erected, " the cha-
racter of him by the late Mr. Pope, collected, as
her Executors should think proper, from his wri-
tings, should be inscribed thereon by way of epi-
taph." This, however, being left wholly to the
discretion of the executors, was not done ; and
the inscription is simply —

James Kyrle died 1st February,

eldest son,
Robert Kyrle, esq. of Walford
Court. Inheriting the republi-
can principles of his mother's
connections, he was a distin-
guished military officer under
Cromwell, holding the commis-
sion of captain of troopers, and
is styled " a stoney hearted Re-
bell," in the narrative of the
plundering of Master Swift's J
house at Goodrich. He married,
first, Mildred, daughter of Sir
William Maxey, of Bradwell
Hall, Essex, and secondly, Eliza-
beth, daughter of John Brayn,
gent, of Little Dean, in Glou-
cestershire. By the latter, who
d. fith September, 1668, he had

This family derives its name from the vil-
lage of Earnley, or Ernle, in Sussex, so
called from the Saxon words " Earn," and
" Lege," the place or habitation of eai/lvs; in
allusion to which, three eagles were borne
on the shield of Ernie.

In the reign of Henry HI., Richard de
Ernle was seated at Ernie. His second son,
John de Ernie, knight of the shire for Sus-
sex, in 1331, in. Isabel, daughter and heir
of ins uncle, William de Ernie, widow of
Fulco Paulln, and acquired with her in dower
the manor of Ernie, together with a large
mansion house, moated and castellated, ves-
tiges of which are still to be traced near the
church of Ernie.

and representative of this John, lived in the
middle of the fifteenth century, and had a

* " Cackham jManor Place, situated in the parish
of West Wittering, was the occasional residence
of the Bishops of Cliichester, from the thirteenth
to the sixteenth century, when it was transferred
to William Ernie, and inhabited by his descendants.
It was a spacious mansion, calculated to receive
the episcopal retinue, with a hall, chapel, and laro-e
apartments. Bishop Sherburne greatly frequented
it, and induced by the singularly magnificent sea
view, bounded by the Isle of Wight, erected a
lofty tower of brick, hexagonal, with labelled win-
dows, whence the commanding prospect might be
seen with greatest advantage. The tower is still
standing. Of the refectory no traces are left, and

of the chapel only a single perforated wall."

Ernie.

year 1300, and had long enjoyed the estate of Whet-
ham. The mansion, which was built apparently
about the end of the sixteenth century, was origi-
nally a remarkably large and handsome edifice, and
was surrounded with ornamental grounds of the
most curious and costly description. A royal visit
was paid at Whethara in the time of John Kyrle
Ernie, by Anne, and a highly wrought ebony ca-
binet is still preserved here, said to have been pre-
sented bv her Majesty on that occasion. 'J"he state

CORBET, OF SUNDORNE.

CORBET, ANDREW-WILLIAM, esq. of Sundorne Castle, in the county of Salop,
b. 22nd September, 1801, m. 14th June, 1823, Mary-Emma, daughter of John Hill,
esq. and sister of Sir Rowland Hill, bart. of Hawkestone. Mr. Corbett succeeded his
father 19th May, 1817.

Hineage.

This is a principal branch of the great

Norman family, whose ancestor, Roger
Corbet, accompanied William I. to the
Conquest of England, and of whose earlier
descendants an account is given at page 189
of the second volume of this work, in treat-
ing of Corbett, of Elsham,

It is there stated that Roger Corbet, the
companion of the Conqueror, held tAventy-
four manors in Shropshire, and one in Mont-
gomervsliiie, under his kinsman Roger de
Montgomery, Earl of Shrewsbury. His ex-
tensive possessions comprised, in the above
manors, that of Worthen, and his descend-
ants, in the line of which we are now about
to treat, continued to possess a considerable
estate at Leigh, in the manor of Worthen,
down to the eighteenth century.

W ILLIAM Corbet, the eldest son of Ro-

CORBET, OF SUNDORNE.

ger, was seated at Wattlesborough. His
second son,

Sir Robert Corbet, knt. had for his
inheritance the castle and estates of Cans,
with a large portion of his father's domains.
He was father of

Robert Corbet, also of Caus Castle, who
accompanied Richard I. to the siege of
Acre, and then bore for arms (according to
an old roll, which, in 1563, was in the pos-
session of Hugh Fitzwilliam, esq. of Sprots-
burgh, an eminent antiquary,) the two ra-
vens, as now borne by all his descendants.

In 1223,

Thomas Corbet, son of the last-named
Robert, made an agreement with King
Henry II. to pay 100/. (a sum equal to about
3000/. of modern currency,) for his re-
lief, according to the feudal tenures of that
period, for the lands descended to him from
his father. This Thomas Corbet was sheriif
of Shropshire in 1249 ; in 1270 he was a
donor to the abbey of Shrewsbury, and in
1272 he founded the chapel of St. Margaret,
in Caus. He married Isabel, sister and co-
heir of Reginald de Valletort, Baron of Tre-
maton Castle, in Cornwall, and widow of
Alan de Dunstanville, by whom he had issue,
Peter, his only son, and two daughters, Alice,
married to Robert de Stafford, Baron of
StaflFord, and Emrae, wife of Sir Brian de
Brampton, of Brampton Brian.* He died in
1274, and was s. by his son,

Peter Corbet, who, it appears, was " a
mighty hunter," for, in the ninth year of King
Edward I. he obtained letters patent from
the sovereign, authorizing him to take wolves
in all the royal forests in various counties, a
proof of the falsehood of the common belief
that our island is indebted to the exertions
of King Edgar for the extirpation of that
savage beast of prey. This Peter Corbet,
of Caus, had summons to Parliament, as one
of the barons of the realm, from the 22nd of
Edward I. to his death in 1300. l»y Alice,
his wife, he had three sons, Thomas, Peter,
and John. Thomas Corbet, the eldest son,
married Joan, daughter of Alan Plukenet,

• Alice's great grandson,

Edmund de Staffoud, was summoned to par-
liament as a IJaron in 1!299, and from him
descended in the male line the ertinct
Dukes of Buckingham, and in tlie female
the house of Jerningham, now enjoying a
barony of Stafford, conferred by Chari.i.s I.
in 1640 on Sir William Howard and his
wife, Mary Stafford.
Emme's great-grand-daughters, co-heirs of their
father, Sir Bryan de Brampton, were

Margaret de Brampton, wife of Robert

Harley, ancestor of the Earls of Oxford.
Eltzabeth de Brampton, wife of Edmund de
Cornwall.

and died in the lifetime of his father, without
issue.

Peter Corbet, the second son, succeed-
ing his father in the estates of his farailVt
joined with Harry de la Pomeroy, in peti-
tioning Parliament for the domains of the
Valletort family, to which estates they were
now become the heirs ; but, as King Ed-
ward II. had himself been found, by inqui-
sition, to be heir to the Earl of Cornwall,
the grantee of " Roger de Yauter," the last
of the Valletorts who possessed the estates,
the petitioners did not find favour in their
suit. This Peter Corbet had also summons
to Parliament, as Baron Corbet, of Caus,
until his death on the 26th May, 1322. He
died without issue, and the line of his family
was continued by the youngest of the three
brothers,

John Corbet, who, by one inquisition,
was found to succeed his brother in the Ba-
rony of Caus, being then forty-two years of
age, and, as soon as Edward II. mounted the
throne, in 1327, he and Pomeroy revived the
suit respecting the Valletort estates, but
without success : indeed, John Corbet ap-
pears, owing to some circumstances at this
distant date not to be ascertained, to have
been deprived of a large portion of his fa-
mily inheritance, for the demesne of Caus,
with other estates, became the possessions of
the heirs of his aunts Stafford and Brampton.
The estates of Leigh, otherwise " Leighton in
Walcheria," being on the confines of Powis
Land, in the Marches of Wales, with the
chief bailiwick of all his forest, had, how-
ever, been granted to John, by Peter, his
father, and Peter, brother of John, also
granted to Roger, his nephew (son of John),
the forestership which his father previously
held. In the Leigh estate, John Corbet was
A", by his son,

Roger Corbet, who, by the name of Ro-
ger Corbet, of " Legh juxta Caus," was re-
turned as one of the knights of the shire for
the county of Salop, in the seventeenth year
of Edward II. his father being then living.
This Roger Corbet was s. at Leigh by his
son,

Roger Corbet, who appears to have re-
ceived the honour of knighthood, for in the
inquisition taken on his death in the nine-
teenth year of Richard II. 1396, he is styled
" Sir Roger Corbet," of Leigh, and the title
" knight," is there added. His son,

Peter Corbet, esq. of Leigh, was father
of

Thomas Corbet, esq. of Leigh, sheriff of
Shropshire in the year 1427, whose son,

Thomas Corbet, esq. succeeded to the
Leigh estate, and was father of

Roger Corbet, esq. of Leigh, who, by
his wife, Maria, had issue,
Thomas Corbet, esq. of Leigh. He m.

CREIGHTON, OF CRUM CASTLE.

Uinfagc.

Mi^m

This family lineally descends from Ely-
STAN Glodrydd, a powerful British chief-
tain, who derived his name Ehjstan, (or
Athelstan) from the Saxon King Athel-
STAN, who was his godfather. The appella-
tion of Glodrydd (or the illustrious) was bes-
towed upon liim, not so much for his rank or
possessions (which were very extensive, in-
cluding nearly all the lands between the
rivers Severn and Wye) as for his liberality
and praiseworthy acts. Elystan died in the
early part of the eleventh century, and his
eldest son, Cadwgan, Lord of Builth and
Radnor, was the ancestor of numerous fami-
lies, still extant, in the counties of Brecon,
Radnor, and Montgomery, as also of many
others scattered throughout the principality.
Twelfth in descent from Cadwgan was
Thomas Lloyd ap Meredith, the first of
his line who adopted the surname of Lloyd.
He was a firm and zealous partisan of Henry
Vn. and was one of tliose who led a body of
his countrymen to the battle of Bosworth.
After Henry obtained the throne, he ap-
pointed Thomas Lloyd his lieutenant of the

county of Brecon, and bestowed upon him
other and more substantial marks of favour.
John Lloyd, of Portherwys, a younger
son of Thomas Lloyd, was an esquire of the
body to Queen Elizabeth. From Rees
Lloyd, the eldest son, descended the Lloyds
of Abcranell, in the county of Brecon, of
which family was

Evan Lloyd, esq. who left, by his wife,
a lady named Jones, a son and successor,

Evan Lloyd, esq. who was seated at
Cefndyrrys, which beautiful residence on
the Wye, now called Welfield House, was
sold by the present General Lloyd to his
uncle, David Thomas, esq. Evan Lloyd m.
Miss Thomas, of Llwynturrid, in the county
of Brecon, and had issue,

" There is a tradition," says Dean Swift,*
" that the most ancient family of the Ericks

of Leicestershire, descended from this family.

derive their lineage from Erick, the Fo-
rester, a great commander, who raised an
army to oppose the invasion of William the
Conqueror, by whom he was vanquished ;
but afterwards employed to command that
Prince's forces, and in his old age retired to
his house in Leicestershire, where his family
hath continued ever since." Though the
earliest ancestor of the family is only record-
ed by tradition, we learn from ancient wri-
tings of unquestionable authority, that the
Eyuicks were seated at a very remote period,
at Great Stretton, in Leicestershire, in that
respectable line of life, so justly tlie pride of
an Englishman, free tenants of their own
lands, two virgates of which they held under
the Abbey of Leicester, on the payment of
an annual quit rent to the King of a pound
of pepper. These virgates had been given
to the Abbey by Ralph Friday, Lord of Wib-
toft, and were successively held by Roger

Thomas Eyrick, of Houghton, who set-
tled at Leicester, and is the tirst of the name
that appears in the corporation books, where
he is mentioned as a member of that body,
in 1511. He died about six years after,
leaving two sons and a daughter, namely,
Nicholas, who was Mayor of Leicester
in 1552. He married and had issue.
John, of whom presently.
Elizabeth, mentioned in her father's
will, which bears date in 1517.
The second son,

John Eyrick, or Heyrick, of Leicester,
b. in 1513, was twice mayor of that corpo-
ration, in 1559 and 1572. He ?«. Mary, dau.
of John Bond, esq. of Wardend, in War-
wickshire, and by her, who died 8th De-
cember, 1611, aged ninety-seven, had issue,

I. RoBF.RT, who was thrice Mayor of
Leicester, and representative of the
Borough in parliament. He died in
l(jl8, leaving a numerous family. He
is now represented by the Reverend
Samuel Heyrick, rector of Bramp-
ton, in Northamptonshire.

II. Nicholas, of London, who m, in 1582,
Julian, daughter of William Stone,
esq. of Segenhoe, in Bedfordshire,
and dying in 1592, left issue,

1. William, b. in 1586, d. s.p.

2. Thomas, b. in 1588, who m. and
has issue. He is presumed to have
been grandfather of Thomas
Heyrick, curate of Harborough,
who published some sermons and
poems.

3. Nicholas, of London, merchant,
living in 1664, aged seventy-five,
m. Susanna, daughter of William
Salter, and had issue.

4. Robert, b. in 1.591, a poet of
considerable merit. This dis-
tinguished person, who received

his education at St. John's Col-
lege, Cambridge, entering into
holy orders, and obtaining the
patronage of the Earl of Exeter,
was presented by Charles I. to
the vicarage of Dean Prior, in
Devonshire, 1st October, 1629,
and soon afterwards acquired
the reputation of a wit and a
poet. During the prevalence
of the Parliamentary influence,
he was ejected from his living
and resided in London until the
Restoration, when he regained
his vicarage. The period of his
decease has not been ascertained.
His literary efl'orts are comprised
in a scarce volume, entitled,
" Hesperides," or the Wor/is both
Humane and Divine, of Robert
Herrick, esq. London, 1648."
8vo. To this volume was ap-
pended his " Noble Nwnbers or
his Pious Pieces," in which, says
Wood, " he sings the birth of
Christ, and sighs for his Savi-
ours sufterings on the cross."
These two books made him much
admired in the time they were
published, and especially by the
generous and boon loyalists, who
commiserated his sufl'erings."
In 1810, Dr. Nott, of Bristol,
published a selection from the
" Hesperides," which may pro-
bably contribute to revive the
memory of Herrick as a poet,
who certainly in vigour of fancy,
feeling, and ease of versification,
is entitled to a superior rank
among the bards of the age in
which he lived.

side, attached liiniself to tlie court, and for
a considerable time " resided eonstanlly
there." He was a man of j^reat abilities and
address; remarkably handsome, as appears
by a small picture still preserved of him in
his younger days; was iiigh in the confidence
of Queen Elizabivpii, as well as of A'/;/*/
James, and by honourable service to both,
acquired large property. In the reign of the
former sovereign he was despatched on an
embassy to the Ottoman Porte, and on his
return rewarded with a lucrative appoint-
ment in the Exchecpier. In 1594-5, he pur-
chased from the agents of Robert, Earl of
Essex, that nobleman's estate and interest
at Beaunianor, and soon after selecting that
delightful spot for his residence, bought in
all the different outstanding leases, and, in
1598, obtained from Queen Elizabeth, by
letters patent under the great seal, a grant
of the manor of Beaumanor. In 1601, he
was returned to parliament by the horough
of Leicester, but retired upon the demise of
her majesty. In 1605 he received the honour
of knighthood, was appointed a teller of the
Exchequer, aiul chosen alderman of Farring-
donWithout ; from the civic olKce he was ex-
cused however, on agreeing to pay a fine of
300/. Shortly after, Sir William was a se-
cond time elected M.P. for Leicester, and
for many years devoted his time and abili-
ties to the promotion of the interests of his
constituents. During the civil wars he suf-
fered severely, and his fortune was much
impaired in that calamitous season. He
died 2nd March, 1652-3, and was buried on
the 8th in St. Martin's Church, at Leicester,
where against the north wall of the choir his
gravestone still remains. His picture at
Beaumanor exhibits him with a picked
beard, a large ruff, and in a white satin
doublet, which he used on Christmas day,
attending Qneen Elizabeth. He wears a
sword, and over his dress hangs loosely a
large black cloak. His plaited ruffles are
closely turned back over his sleeves. In one
hand are his gloves, the other, elevated to his
breast, holds the stump and tassells of his
ruff. On one side, within a wreath, is the
motto " Sola supereminet virtus." On the
other, " Anno Dom. 1628, tetatis suae 66."
Lady Herrick is dressed in a close black
gown richly ornamented with lace and fine
ruffles turned up close over the sleeves ; a
watch in one hand, in the other a prayer
book, and at her side a feathered f\in. This
portrait is dated " July 27th, 1632, aetatis
sua; fifty-four."

" Art may Lir outsid thus present to view.
How faire within no art or tongue can show."

Joan, and who was daughter of Richard May,

latter of these reigns a daughter of tlie
family was married to Sir .John Drummond
of Concraig, predecessor of the Earls of
Perth, and Drummond of Balloch, after-
wards married another daughter of Ross of
Craigie, who was mother of John Drum-
mond, Laird of Milnab, as in the genealo-
gical history of the family of Perth, written

ROSS, OF CllAKilE AiMJ IN .\ IlKM-.rillK

by William Drummoiid, Viscount of Stratli-
allaii.

The family of Ross contimu'd ciiiiMciit
till about tiie middle of the rei^u of Kiii(i
James YI. (I. of Enj;laMd), wheu it hegaii
to decline, and was entirely ruined, and
its estates canieil olf by many creditors
in the bef;innin{; of the reijjn of King
Charles I. John Ross, Laird of Crai^ie,
was a principal favourite with King James
V. {Khox's Histoi-tf) and was taken pri-
soner by the JMi};lish at Solway Moss; he
is also mentioned in Baker's Ciironicle, by
an easy mistake, John Ross, Lord of Grey,
instead of Laird of Crai2;ie. The Rosses of
Craigie had a u;reat estate near the town of
Perth, and had intermarriages with several
honourable families in that country, as
Drummond of Coneraig, Drummond of Bal-
loch, Murray of Balvaird (now Viscount
Stormont), Seton of Lathrisk, Ogilvy of
Inchmartin, and many others. They were
hereditary governors of the Spey Castle, in
Perth,* which office continued in the family
till the Reformation, when the keys of the i
fortress were surrendered under a protes-
tation, to the provost and council, by John
Ross of Craigie. Among the records of
the city is one, dated the 30th June, 1461,
in which Robert the Rosse of Craigie is
one of the witnesses to a warrant, remitting
a fine imposed upon the provost and magis-
trates of Perth, for the destruction of the
houses of Dupline and Aberdalgie ; and
there is another remission, by warrant under
the great seal, dated 5th February, 1526, to
the town of Perth, for having burnt the
Castle of Craigie. The town of Perth was
one of the strongest fortifications in the
kingdom, surrounded with castles, tlie resi-
dences of powerful barons, who were often
at war with one another, and with the ma-
gistrates of Perth. Ruthven, now Hun-
tingtower, was the seat and fortress of the
Ruthvens, Aberdalgie and Dupline of the
Oliphants, Craigie of the Rosses, Kinfauns
of the Charteris, Gascon Hall and Fingash
of the Bruces, &c. &c.

From the Craigie line descended

WYNNE, OF GARTHEWIN.

WYNNE, ROBERT-WILLIAM, esq. of Garthewin, in the county of Denbigh,
married Letitia, daughter of the late Reverend John Fleming Stanley, and became a
widower, without issue, 24th June, 1831. Mr. Wynne was formerly lieutenant-colonel
of the Royal Denbighshire Militia, and is a magistrate and deputy-lieutenant for the
county of Denbigh.

Umcngc.

This family claims descent from Mar-
CHUDD, a chieftain of North Wales, who
served under Prince Roderic the Great, in
the ninth century, and who stands as the
head of one of the fifteen tribes of Nortli
Wales. Thirteenth in lineal descent from
Marchudd, was Gronwy Llwyd, who was
instrumental in obtaining for Edward I. the
sovereignty of Whales, and was rewarded for
his services by that monarch. The arms
borne by his ancestor Marchudd, were " Gu.
a Saracen's head erased at the neck arg. en-
vironed about the temples with a wreath or
and arg." but Gronwy Llwyd bore " Gu.
three boars' heads in pale, erased arg." and
these arms are borne by all his descendants.
Eleventh in descent from Gronwy Llwyd
was .John Wynne, esq. of Melau, who mar-
ried Dorothy, daughter of Hugh Gwyn Grif-
fith, esq. of Berthddu, and had, with other
issue, two sons, William and Robert. The
elder, William, was a colonel in the service
oi King Charles I. and being slain in an
attack made upon the Parliamentary gar-
rison at Wem, in the county of Salop, was
buried at St. Chad's Church, Shrewsbury,
on the 27th October, 1643.* The younger,

* John Wynne, the eldest son of Col. Wynne,
continued the line of Jlelau.

Robert Wynne, esq. was an officer in the
same service, and assisted at the engage-
ment at Wem ; he survived the restoration,
and having married Margaret, only daugh-
ter and heiress of Robert Price, esq. of
Garthewin, founded the branch of the Wynne
family, of which we are about to treat. He
died "l4th April, 1682, leaving, (witli three

" The family of Phelips," says Collinson,

where they were long anciently established,
about the time of Edward I. and were for
many years resident at Barrington, a few
miles distant from Montacute. A branch
of the family settled at Corf-Mullen, in Dor-

from Henry VIII. and represented the bo-
roughs of Poole and Wareham in several

Lenny has yet been published, further than appears
in the history of the Buchanans, it may be here
remarked, having been there omitted, that Gillis-
pie Minr Do l^any, first of Buchanan, of Lenny,
is mentioned in a charter, A. D, 1227, as having
obtained his lands from King Culenus, about
9(30. It is also mentioned in a genealogical ac-
count of the family, composed early in the six-
teenth century, and which has been likewise
omitted, that " Robert INlaccan'' was killed in the
thirteenth century, in l'2ngland, having been sent
thither on a special mission by the king : and that
" John Macandra'' was killed at the head of his
followers by the English, at the battle of Pinkey,
in the year 1547, when gallantly endeavouring to
turn the fortune of the day. In the martial, ur-
ban, and political achievements of the progenitors
of this family, reference must be had to the gene-
alogical accounts of the families of Buchanan, of

general in the West of Scotland, particularly in
the counties of Stirling and Dumbarton. In the
former, tlie lands of IJuchanan are situated, from
which the family name was acquired. They are
now the property of the Duke of INTontrose,
and Buchanan House is his Grace's residence, in
Scotland. This society was established for the
sole purpose of giving endowments to individuals
of the clan residing in Scotland, in indigent cir-
cumstances, and of assisting boys of promising
genius in the prosecution of their studies at the
Universities or otherwise. From unexampled
good management, it has progressively advanced
till it has become one of the princi]ial charities in
the west of Scotland. The entry money paid by
members has never been higher than five guineas,
from which small sums and a few very trifling
donations, there has accumulated a fund of ^^800.
a year, enabling the directors to distribute not
less than ^jOO. per annum among the poor of
the clan, and in the education of youth.

GIBSON, OF QUERNMOHE PARK.

GIBSON, JOHN, of Quemmore Park, in the county of Lancaster, a minor; suc-
ceeded to the family estates on the death of his father, in 1 832.

Umcnge.

The surname of Gibson is of p,reat anti-
quity both in England and Scotland. In
both kin2;donis it is met with at a period not
long subsequent to the Norman Conquest ;
and in both, but especially in the latter, have
been many eminent men of the name. In
Scotland are families of the name which
ranked amongst the free barons, or lesser
nobility, of that kingdom more than five
hundred years ago ; and no less than five
Scotch families of Gibson, or rather branches
of one and the same ancient and wide-
spreading house, have been raised to the
baronetage of Scotland. In 1628, upwards
of two hundred years ago. Sir Alexander
Gibson, of Durie, knight, Avas created a ba-
ronet ; and not long subsequently the Gib-
sons of Pentland and the Gibsons of Kierhill
had the like dignity conferred upon them ;
and in modern times the Gibsons of Clifton
Hall and the Gibsons of Riccartou have been
raised to similar rank. The baronetcy of the
Kierhill branch has become extinct, that of
the Pentland branch has merged in that of the
Gibsons of Durie, and upon the death, with-
out issue, of Sir Robert Gibson, the eighth
baronet of Durie, the baronetcy, or rather
the two baronetcies of that branch devolved
upon the Gibsons of Skyrling, a younger
branch of the Gibsons of Pentland. The
Gibsons of Skyrling, representing the noble
family of Carmichael of Carmichael, extinct
Earls of Hyndford, have, in compliance with
the will of the last Earl of Hyndford, as-
sumed the surname of Carmichael in addi-
tion to their own ; and the present Sir James

3.

Gibson-Carmichael, baronet, of Skyrling, is
the representadve of the Carmichael family,
and alsoof'tlie Durie and Pentland branches
of the Gibson family. The baronetcies of
the Clifton Hall ;ind Riccarton branches are
existing ones and Sir Charles Maitland (Jib-
son, and Sir James Gibson-Craig are the
present baronets of these branches: the latter
gentleman representing the ancient family
of the Craigs, of Riccarton, has assumed the
surname of Craig in addition to his own.
The Gibsons of Scotland have married
either into, or into distinguished branches
of, the noble families of Cranstoun, Murray,
Fleming, Hamilton, Hay, Seton,Son\erville,
Primrose, Carmichael, Maitland and Diin-
das (into some of them twice or oftener),
and into many other ancient and distin-
guished families of that kingdom. Playfair,
in his account of the Scotch tiimily of Gib-
son (see his " British Family Antiquity"),
says, they were " possessed of higli anti-
quity ; were free barons at a very early
period ; were ancient land owners of great
importance in the country and of great ser-
vice to the state, and had produced several
able statesmen as well as individuals re-
markable for their learning and patriotism :"
and in another place he continues, " through-
out the pages of Scottish History we fre-
quently find members of the Gibson family
employed in the most important negociations,
and entrusted with some of the highest offices
in the state :" Sir Robert Douglas's ac-
count of the family, in his Scotch Baron-
age, is very similar to that given by Play-
fair, and proves the ancient consequence
and importance of the family. \^'e have
given this brief account of this ancient and
wide-spreading northern race, by reason
that the Lancashire family of the same name
(the subject of the present article) is tradi-
tionally descended from it; and circum-
stances exist which corroborate the tradi-
tion. The Lancashire Gibsons have been
settled in that county nearly two centuries
and a half, (since the time of Jamks I.), and
during the greatest part of that time have
possessed considerable property in the
county. They have at dilTerent periods
been high sheriifs, and are allied to several
ancient and distinguished families. Thev

GIBSON, OF QUERNMORE PARK.

were formerly Lords of Yellaiul, in Lan-
cashire, but the YoUand and other exten-
sive estates which they once held of the
value of three thousand pounds a year or
upwards liave been alienated. The Yelland
brancli of tlie family terminated in females
on the death, unmarried, of Gkouge Gibson,
esq. of Yelland hall. Upon his decease liis
Yelland and other estates devolved upon
Sarah Gibson and Annk Gibson. These
ladies were the daughters and eventually
GO-heirs of Robert Gibson, esq. by Sarah,
daughter of the Very Reverend Dean Wil-
liam Coxe, D. D. Mr. Gibson was a bar-
rister-at-law, and recorder of Lancaster.
He died suddenly, when on the nortliern
circuit, in the prime of life. He was a
very learned and able lawyer, and at the
time of his death was rising rapidly in his
profession ; and had he lived, would, there
is little doubt, have attained great emi-
nence in it. Of his two daughters, and
eventually co-heirs, Anne m. William Wick-
ham, esq. of Y'orkshire, (of tiie family of
the celebrated William, of Wickham, and
ancestor of the Right Honourable William
Wickham, who was secretary for Ireland
during a part of Mr. Pitt's administration),
and the other, Sarah, d. unmarried. Siie
died seized of estates in the parishes and
townships of Yelland, Lancaster, Dalton,
Furness, Plain-Furness, Stenton, Adgarley,
Muchland, Skerton, Nether-Skerton, and
Scotforth, all in the county of Lancaster,
and Preston-Patrick, and Mansergh, in the
county of Westmorland, all of which went,
under her will, to the Gibsons of Myerscough,
in the county of Lancaster. This lady's
munificence and benevolence of disposition
rendered her worthy of the handsome for-
tune she possessed, and procured for her
universal respect and esteem. The Gibsons
of Myerscough, to wliom she left her landed
property, and of whom we have to treat,
spring from

Charles Gibson, a younger son of Ed-
mond Gibson, of Roos-court, in the parish
of Dalton, in the county of Lancaster, where
he possessed a good estate. Mr. Charles
Gibson settled at Preston in the profession
of the law, and acquired a fortune with the
highest reputation for integrity and honour.
He purchased the Myerscough estate, on
which he settled previous to his death. He
married Frances, daughter of Ralph Asshe-
ton, esq. of Laylam, in the county of Lancas-
ter, and great grand-daughter of Sir Ralph
Assheton, knt. chief of the ancient and emi-
nent knightly family of the Asshetons, (af-
terwards baronets), of Assheton-under-lyne,
and Middleton, in the county of Lancaster ;
the principal branch of which terminated,
on the death of Sir Ralph Assheton, bart.
in two co-heiresses ; one of whom married
an ancestor of the Earls of Wilton, and

the other, an ancestor of the Lords Suffield.
Mr. Gibson had issue by his wife,

I. Robert, his heir.

as heir. He served the office of high sherifl'
for Lancashire and was a magistrate for the
county. He died, unmarried, at an advanced
age. Previous to his death, the estates of
the elder branch of the family had come by
will to his younger brother.

The Rev. John Gibson, M.A. rector of
Romaldkirk, in the county of York. This
gentleman in. Anne, daughter and eventu-
ally sole heiress (who had a considerable
fortune) of William Philip Fulford, esq. a
merchant in London, and a near branch of
the ancient and eminent knightly family of
the Fnlfords, of Fulford, in tlie county of
Devon ; one of whom. Sir Baldwin Fulford,
was a distinguished commander in the wars
between the houses of York and Lancaster.
Mr. Gibson was a gentleman of considera-
ble erudition, and extensive acquirements in
various branches of literature. Though he
came into possession of a large property on
the extinction of the elder brancli of his
family, yet he continued to reside on his
rectory, and to do the duties of it up to the
time of his decease. He died at the rectory
house of Romaldkirk, and his remains were
interred (as were those of his wife, who
survived him only a month) in the family
vault in Lancaster church. He had issue,

I. Charles, who s. as heir, and who

cestor was Dr. Alexander Hunter, who about a cen-
tury ago settled in Eng^land as a physician, and had
considerable practice. Dr. Hunter was well known
for his literary and scientific pursuits, and acquired
considerable fame by his Georgical Essays, and
as the annotator of Evelyn's Sylva. He married
one of the tliree daugliters and co-heiresses (who
amongst them inherited a large property) of

tlie Dealtrys of Lofthouse Hall, in the county of

Hmcatie.

The Welsh genealogists, according to their
custom, have carried the antiquity of the
Walwyn family very high, deriving the de-
scent of Sir Philip ap David, Lord of Wal-
wayne's Castle, in Pembrokeshire, from
Gualgnain, sister's son to Kinri Arthur,
tlie liritisli hero, and therein they have been
followed ijy William of Malmesbury, Ro-
bert of (iloucester, Camden, and several
others. "Tunc (anno 108(i) in Provincia
Wallarnm qiue Ros vocatur inventuni est
sepulchrum Walweni, qui fuit baud deneger
Arturis ex Sorore Nepos, regnavitque in ea
parte Britannia; quie adhnc Walwertha vo-
catur. Miles virtute nominatissimus, sed a
Fratre et Nepote Hengristii Regno pulsus,"
&c. Camden also mentions the same per-
son, as may be seen under tiie name of
Waldwin, which lie says " some have inter-
preted out of the German tongue, whicli sig-
nifies a conqueror, but we now use Gawen
instead of Walwyn; but if Walwin was a

Britan, and King Arthur's nephew, .is Wil-
liam of Malmesbury noteth, when he speak-
eth of his gyant-like bones found in Wales,
I refer the signification to the Britans." The
name is composed of two British words,
GvvAL. which signifies a tcull, and Gwynne
or Wynne, irhite ; to which the family
crest, a wyvern upon an embattled wall or
tower argent, refers. It is also local, and
the ruins of Walwyn Castle, or the castle
with Avhite walls, are yet, or lately^ were, to
be seen in Pembrokeshire, where it gives
name to a parish near Haverfordwest.

In the manuscripts of Doctor Blount, of
the city of Hereford, we find under the
article of Marcle Magna, "These Walwayns
are of ancient descent from Gwallain, or
Wa 1 way n Castle, in Pembrokeshire, of which
family was Sir Phiip Walwayn, who being
engaged in Kiny William Riifus's time,

Sir PiULii' DK Walwynnk, in conse-
quence of the new territory assigned him at
the Hay, ([uitted his ancient [)ossessions,
and took up his abode there ; but being de-
sirous of preserving the remembrance of
the seat of his ancestors, assumed it as his
surname, after the Norman custom. He
was father of

John ap Piiilip de Wai.waynk, of the
Hay, who inherited in 14 Hknkv 1. and
was s. in (J Stkphkn by

SiK John dk Walwayne, father of

Thomas de Walwayne, who married the
daugliter of Leonard Flackluyt, of Marcie
Magna, one of whose family bought tlie
estate of Longeford, which was afterwards
disposed of, but which his descendants by
the female side repurchased. This mar-
riage appears to have given tlie first estab-
lishment to the family iu Herefordshire,
and must have occurred, in all' probability,
early in Richaud the First's reign. " By a
French indenture, dated 7 Richard I. 1196,
Thomas Fitznichol, knt. steward of Nichol
de Stafford, did set to Thomas Walwayne,
of Magna Marcley all the manor of Marcie
which belonged to Monsr. N. De Stafford,
for 18 marks j)er tain, except Halewode."
The grandson of this Thomas,

Sir Ely or Helias Walwayne, was the
knight by whose activity and courage Llu-
ellin, the bravest and last Prince of Wales,
was taken and beheaded. " Being sent with
a detachment by Sir Edmund Mortimer, he
passed over a ford of the riverWye, fell upon
Lluellin's troops and put them to flight, in
consequence of which that prince was taken
and slain." Sir Ely married Maud, daugh-
ter and heir of Sir Philip de Grandour,
km. the representative of a very ancient
family, and had two sons,
Richard, his heir.

John, a clerk, who was one of the king's
council and treasurer of the Exche-
quer 12 Edward O. a trust which he
discharged with singular credit, as
was attested by the king himself.
Sir Ely died in 1286, and was buried at the
Hay, being the last of the family who re-
sided at that place. His elder son and suc-
cessor,

Richard Walwayne, or Waleweyne,
represented the county of Hereford in nine
parliaments of the reign of Edward HI.
and ser\ed as high sheriff during seven suc-

cessive years from I'A'Mj to I.H2. lie m.
Joan, daughter and heir of Walter de He-
lyon, of llelyon or Hcdlins, in Marcie
Magna, by whom he ac(|uire(l that estate,
where he fixed his residence, and had a son
and successor,

Thomas Walwayn, who was sheriff of
Hcrcfordsliire in l.'JH'J and i:}iJ2, and was
appointed, in the ensuing year, inspector of
the ports ol London.* His name also ap-
pears as a witness to a deed between Thomas
Tyler de Webl)eley, K'ichard Nasch, and
others, for release of lands in Longeford,
Lugwardyn, and Hampton. He in. Cathe-
rine, daughter and heir of Sir John Gren-

daughter and heir of Ralph Bromwich, and
was father of

Thomas Walwayn, esq. knight of the shire
for Hereford in the 1 , 5 and 6 of Henry IV.
who purchased the estate of Hagley, near
Stourbridge, in Worcestershire, now in the
possession of the Lyttleton family. " In
the year 1411, 13 Henry IV." says Nash,
" Henry de Haggeley sold the manor and
advowson of Haggeley, together with Cow-
batch, to Thomas Walwyn, esq. who soon
after alienated it to Jane Beauchamp, Lady
Bergavenny." From that lady he soon
after purchased the manor of Longford,
which appears by her release to \\ illiam
Walwayn, his son (to whom he bequeathed
that estate), to which her own seal is affixed.
He m. Isabella, said to be a daughter of the
ancient family of Baskerville, and had

LANDOR, OF IPSLEY COURT.

LANDOR, WALTER-SAVAGE, esq. of Ipsley Court, in the county of Wanvick,
and of Lanthony Abbey, in Monmouthshire, b. in January, 1775, m. in May, 1811,
Julia Thuillier, of Bath, a lady of Swiss extraction, and has

Arnold-Savagu.

Walter-Savage.

Charles-Savage.

Julia-Elizabeth-Savage.

This gentleman is known in the world of letters as the author of " Imag-inarj- Con-
versations of Literary Men and Statesmen " and several other productions. He has
long resided in Italy, chiefly on his estate at Fiescoli, near Florence.

ILincacic.

The Laiulors descend from the De la
Lauudes, a knightly race of Norman origin,
who for a long period enjoyed large estates
ill the county of Lincoln, comprising the
manors of Wispinton, Ywurdeby, and many
others. They had also considerable pos-
sessions in Leicestershire, in which county
is a village called Launde to this day: great
part, however, of the Leicestershire estates
passed, as Camden notices, by an heiress to
the Berkeleys of Wymondliani. In tlie
middle ages, when lands could not be dis-
posed of by will, vast estates were frequently
conveyed by heiresses into the families of
strangers: thus in the reign of Edward IIL
Sybilla, (laughter of Sir. John de la Launde,
carried large estates in Warwickshire to her
liusband, Roger de Aston, progenitor of the
Astons of Tixall ; and Coditha, her sister,
another daughter of Sir .John, brought all
her father's lands in Derbyshire, in mar-
riage, to Sir Kichard de Stathum (Touer
Rolls, fA Edward III.) The family of De
la Launde rontiiuied to flourish in great
opulence and esteem until the wars of the

Roses ; when, after having fought on the
side of Kiny Henry, they were stripped of
all their possessions by the victorious Ed-
ward, and never again restored to their
former importance. This circumstance is
recorded by one of the rolls iu the Tower
(15 Edward IV.), which states that "the
king granted to Richard, Duke of Glou-
cester, in special tail, namely, to his heirs
male all the manors and hereditaments (iu
several counties) which lately belonged to
John, Earl of Oxford, and all the manors in
the county of Lincoln and other counties
which belonged to De La Launde, Miles,
(to be held) by the accustomed services."
L pon the death of this Richard, Duke of
Gloucester (then Richard III.) these estates
were of course forfeited to Henry VII. but
the employer of Empson and Dudley has
never been accused of one act of generosity
or justice, and it is probable that a very
small portion (if any) of the patrimony of
the house of De la Launde was ever rescued
from the rapacious grasp of the monarch.

In the reigns of Henry VII. and Henry
VIIL, A\hen money becoming more abun-
dant, the race of merchants grew into im-
portance, and began a rivalry with the landed
proprietors, it became the custom to drop
the preposition which used to precede the
name, and distinguished the man of birth,
M'ho was generally recognized by the place
of his residence. In accordance with this
custom, the family now before us, which
had been settled in Staflbrdshire on the
wreck of their fortunes, were designated in-
differently Launde and Launder. In the
reign of Charles I., John Launder, of
Rugeley, was a captain in the royal army,
while Michael Noble, the representative of
an old Staffordsliire family, which after-

MACALESTER, OF LOUP AND KENNOX.

13tli Janimry, 1765, vi. 28th March, 1792, Janet, daughter and heiress of William

Jane.

This gentleman, who is lieutenant-colonel-commandant of the 1st regiment of Ayrshire
Local Militia, and a deputy-lieutenant, and justice of the peace, succeeded his father in
1796. His designation, as chief of the clan, is "The Macalester;" but, by the entail
of the Kennox estate, the heir who succeeds to it is obliged to take the name and bear
the arms of Somerville.

Umeage.

TheMacalesters of Loup are descended, ac-
cording to some authorities, from Alexander,
second son of Dovenaldus, filius Reginaldi,
filius Somerledi, Thane of Argyll, who ac-
quired the Western Isles by his marriage
with Effrica, daughter of Olavus the Swarthy,
King of Man, and granddaughter of Harald
Harfager, King of Denmark, and is pro-
bably the same Alexander de Ergadia, one
of the Scottish nobles who, in 1284, became
bound to receive Margaret of Norway as
their sovereign. Other pedigrees, however,
deduce the Macalesters from Alexander,
third son of John, Lord of the Isles, by his
second wife, the Princess Margaret, daugh-
ter of RoBKRT II. King of Scotland ; and
Buchanan, in his work upon Surnames, men-
tions the Loup family as the earliest branch
of the Macdonalds. For centuries the Ma-
calesters have maintained a leading position
in the North, and tlie " Laird of Lowip "
occurs in the " Roll of Landlordis and Bail-
lies in the Hielands," published by authority
of parliament <e/«p.^JAMES VI. anno 1587.

Alexander Macalester, of Loup, chief
of the clan at the close of the seventeenth

century, married a dciughter of Sir Robert
Montgomerie, bart. of Skelmorlie, in Ayr-
shire, and had, with other issue, two sons,
Godfrey, his heir.

Duncan, who settled in Holland, where
he married, in 1717, Jolianna, daugh-
ter of Arnold Luchetemaker, burg-
graaf at Meurs, and his eldest son,
Robert, attained the rank of ge-
neral in the Dutch service, and
was commandant of the Scots
Brigade. His descendants are

Hmcage.

The first of this family who settled in
Derbyshire was

The Rev.ioHti Crompton, M. A. of Ema-
nuel College, Cambridge, born in 1611, of
religious parents at Brightmet, a hamlet in
the parish of Bolton, Lancashire. On his re-
turn from college, he was appointed lecturer
to Dr. Wilmot, at All Hallows, in Derby, and
acquired much respect as well for his piety
as by his arduous exertions during a raging
pestilence, which so desolated that town
that grass literally grew in the market place.
From Derby he removed to Brailsford, a
sequestered living, five miles distant, where
he gave the fifth of the whole profits to Mr.

3.

Greaves, his sequestered predecessor. He
was a firm adherent of royalty, and during
A"??**/ Charles's exile was narrowly watched,
though not molested, by those who were
then in authority. On the rising of Sir
George Booth, in Lancashire, and Colonel
White, at Nottingham, to promote the king's
return, Mr. Crompton proceeded, with his
neighbours, to assist at Derby, but the pro-
ject failing, he suffered for a period, several
soldiers having been quartered in his house.
At the Restoration he was obliged to give
up his living to Mr. Edward Love, and re-
moved to Arnold, a small vicarage near
Nottingham, which the act of Uniformity
soon after dispossessed liim of. He died
deeply regretted at Mapperley, 9th Janu-
ary, 1668-9, leaving issue. Of his sons,
Samuel, a dissenting minister at Doncaster,
d. in 1734, aged eighty-three, and another,

Abraham Crompton, settled at Derby,
where he was living in 1713. He died in
1734, leaving by Elizabeth his wife, who
died in 1690, three sons and a daughter,
viz.

Samuel.

Thomson, by royal sign manual dated 22iid March,
1821, and is at present M. P. for Stroud, F. R.S.
F.G.S. &c.

Mr. Scrope inherited the Wiltshire estates on the death of
his father in 1787, and those of North and South Cocker-
ington, &c. in Lincolnshire, in 1795, at the decease without
issue of Mrs. Peart Scrope, only child of Mary, Countess
of Deloraine, sister and heiress to Frederick Scrope, esq.
of Cockerington, in virtue of the entail created in the will
of the said Frederick Scrope, who died in 1780 s. p. the
last of that branch of the Scrope family, which had settled
in Lincolnshire at the close of the sixteenth century.

Hmcagt.

The Scropes of Castle Combe descend in
the direct male line from Sir Richard Le
Scrope, knt. first Baron Scrope of Bolton,
lord high treasurer and chancellor to both
Kiiufs Edward III. and Richard IL We
were therefore wrong on a former occasion
in describing the Scropes of Danby as the
only remaining branch of this ancient and
eminent family.

Among the numerous baronial families
which formerly possessed great influence in
England, that of Le Scrope or Scrope
stands conspicuous. Though some of their
titles are now dormant, and others extinct,
few persons were more distinguished in the
fourteentli, fifteenth, and sixteenth centu-
ries ; and Shakespeare has given immor-
tality to no less than three individuals of
that name.* The house of Scrope was en-
nobled in two branches, Scrope of Bolton
and Scrope of Masham and Upsal, and
its members shared the glory of all the great
victories of the middle ages. An unbroken
male descent from the Conquest, if not from
the time of Edward the Confessor, and

Arundel, given in 1386 as a witness in the
celebrated controversy between Sir Richard
Scrope and Sir Robert Grosvenor for the
right of bearing the coat, azure, a bend or,
as well as of numerous other deponents in
that cause, that the representative of this
family " was descended from noble and ge-
nerous blood of gentry and ancient ancestry,
who had always preserved their name and
estate in dignity and honour,"t as well as
their alliances and property, sufficiently
attest their antiquity and importance; whilst
the mere enumeration of the dignities which
they attained between the reigns of Edward
II. and Charles I. proves the high rank
they enjoyed. In this period of three hun-
dred years, the house of Scrope produced
two earls and twenty barons, one chancellor,
four treasurers, and two chief justices of
England, one archbishop and two bishops,
five knights of the Garter, and numerous
bannerets, the highest military order in the
days of chivalry.

Richard Scrupe held various manors in
Worcestershire, Herefordshire, and Shrop-

fessor, as appears on the authority of
Domesday Book, rtt the compihition of which
they were possessed by liis son,

OSBORN FlTZ-RlCHARD, Or FiTZ-SCROP,

who in 1067, whilst William the Conque-
ror and the greater part of his nobles were
in Normandy, assisted the castellan of Here-
ford in subduing; the rebel Edric. It was
most probably his son or grandson,

Hugh le Scrope, who is recorded as
owing services to Gilbert de Gant, Earl of
Lincoln, in 1149, for certain lands given to
the Priory of Jiridlington, in Yorkshire.
His son,

Robert le Scrope, likewise granted lands
to the same priory. He left issue two sous,
Philip and Simon.

Philip le Scrope was employed in the
G Rich. I. 1195, to render an account to the
king of the revenues of the Archbishop of
York. He left only two daughters, Alice
and Maud, who both died without issue, and
were succeeded in their inheritance by their
uncle,

Simon le Scrope, of Flotmanby, in the
county of York. He was buried in the
church at Wenslay, and was succeeded by
his son,

Henry le Scrope, who gave divers lands
in Flotmanby, in the reign of King John,
to the Priory of Bridlington, the Abbey of
St. Mary of Rivaulx, and other religious
communities. He m. Julian, daughter of
Roger Brune, of Thornton, and left a son,

William le Scrope, living 39 Hen. III.
1254, who, as well as his father, was buried
with his ancestors at Wenslay. His eldest
son,

Richard le Scrope, who served against
the Welsh in 1263, was succeeded by his
brother.

Sir William le Scrope, who possessed
lands in Bolton, in Yorkshire, for which he
obtained a grant of free warren in the 24
Edward 1. 1296. Several deponents in the
Scrope and Grosvenor Controversy report
him to have been celebrated for his conduct
in the field, and " the best knight of the
whole country at jousts and tournaments."
He left issue,

I. Henry le Scrope, his heir.

II. Geoffry le Scrope, of Masham, knight
banneret, and chief justice to both
Edward II. and Edward IH. ; with
the latter of wlium he also served in
a military capacity tliroughout his
iMench and Scotch wars. He was
likewise celebrated for his achieve-
ments in the lists of tournaments, and
many interesting anecdotes are given
conc(|rning him by the deponents in
tile Scrope and Grosvenor Contro-

versy. He was tlie progenitor of the
line of the Lords Scrope of Masham.
(See Burke's Extinct Peerage).

Sir Henry le Scrope, eldest son of Sir
William le Scrope, became a judge of the
Court of King's Bench in the 2 Edward II.
He was a trier of petitions in the parliament
which met at Lincoln in the 9 Edward IL
1316, and in the following year was made
chief justice of his court, which high ju-
dicial office he filled for seven years. He
was summoned to parliament throughout the
greater part of the reign of Edward II. and
was employed in various situations of high
trust. On the accession of Edwaed III. he
was re-appointed chief justice of the King's
Bench, and subsequently made chief baron
of the Exchequer. He obtained charters of
free warren for his manors of Bolton and
others in Yorkshire ; and for his large bene-
factions was considered the founder of the
wealthy Abbey of St. Agatha of Richmond.

Margaret, daughter of Lord Roos,

I. William le Scrope.

II. Stephen le Scrope, who d. s, p.

III. Richard le Scrope, who became
heir to his brother William.

Sir William le Scrope accompanied
King Edward III. in several of his French
and Scotch expeditions. He was at the
battle of Vironfoss, in Picardy, in 1339, at
the siege of Tournay in 1340, and at that of
Vannes in 1342. He died of a wound re-
ceived at the siege of Morlaix in 1344, and
was buried in the Abbey of St. Agatha. He
was succeeded by his brother,

Sir Richard Scrope, first Baron Scrope
OF Bolton, b. in 1328. This gallant sol-
dier was knighted by Edward III. at the
battle of Durham, where the Scotch were
defeated, in 1346, and was present at the
siege of Calais in the same year. Without
attempting to follow this nobleman through
all his martial exploits, which, however,
stand recorded by their eye-witnesses, the
several royal, noble, and knightly deponents
in the celebrated controversy sustained by
him with Sir Richard Grosvenor, for the
right of bearing his family coat of arms, it
is enough to say, that between 1346 and
1385, a period of forty years, there was
scarcely a battle of note in England, France,
Spain, or Scotland, where the English
forces were engaged, in which Scrope did
not gain honour. But as a statesman he was
still more distinguished. He was lord high
treasurer to Edward III. and twice lord
ciiancellor of England in the reign of Ri-
chard II. by both which sovereigns he was
intrusted with many other employments
of honour and confidence. Walsingham
states him to have been remarkable for his
extraordinary wisdom and integrity, and

refused to deliver it to any otlier person
than to the kinj;- himself." Lord Scrojie
was summoned to parliament continuously
during the reigns of Kdwakd 111. and Ki-
CHAKD II. and was a trier of petitions on
many occasions. In 1385 he challenged
the right of Sir Robert Grosvenor to bear
the arms " Azure, a bend or ;" and the
memorable suit, instituted for the decision
of this heraldic controversy, lasted upwards
of four years, and was at length decided in
his favour, Scrope having established by the
evidence of a vast number of deponents,
consisting of the most distinguished men of
the day, from John of Gaunt, the king's
uncle, to Chaucer the poet, vvlio was then a
squire at arms, that " his ancestors had con-
tinually borne the contested coat from the
Conquest." Lord Scrope built the stately
castle of Bolton, in Kichmondshire, and died
full of lioiiours at the age of seventy-three,
in the 4 Hkmiy IV. 1403. His name is
among those of the peers who assented to
the deposition of Richard II. ; but liis heir
apparent, the Earl of Wilts, sacrificed his
life in the service of that unfortunate sove-
reign ; and his younger son, Sir Stephen
Scrope, adhered to the dethroned monarch
with admirable fidelity. Lord Scrope 7n.

I. Sir William Scrope, K.G. created
Eakl of Wiltshire, and appointed
treasurer of England, in the reign of
Richard II., /by which sovereign he
was greatly esteemed, and employed
in numerous important services. He
purchased the sovereir/nli/ of the Isle
of Man from the Earl of Salisbury ;
and in 1394, when the truce was con-
firmed with France, " Guilliam le
ScROp" is recorded to have assented
to it ''^ pour le seif/neurie de Ma?i," as
one of the "allies" of the King of
England. He is the person of whom
Shakespeare makes the Lord Roos
to say,

'• The Earl of Wiltshire hath the realm
in farm." Rich. II. act 2, sc. 1.

Earl of Wilts defended the castle of
Bristol for the king, but was taken
by the usurper's troops, and beheaded
in 1399, in the lifetime of his father.

The third son.

Sir Stephen Scrope, Lord of Bentley,
in the county of York, and of Castle Combe,
in Wilts, was the lineal ancestor of the
present owner of Castle Combe. This emi-
nent person appears to have inherited much
of the talent, valour, and integrity of his
father, and to have almost equally distin-
guished himself both in a (;ivil and military
capacity. By Richard II. he was appointed
lord justice of Ireland, and by Henry IV.
was made governor of Roxburgh Castle in
1400. In the next year he returned to Ire-
land as lord deputy to Thomas of Lancaster,

* The direct line of the LoitDS Scrope, Barons
OF Bolton, terminated in the person of Sir Ema-
nuel Scrope, eleventh baron, lord president of
the king's council, 1619, and created Earl of Sun-
derland by Charles I. who dying s. p. /. the barony
became extinct, or at least has remained unclaimed
to the present day, though said to be vested in
Charles Jones, esq. late captain in the 1st regt.
Dragoon Guards (see Burke's Extinct and Dor-
mant Peerage). The immense estates of the Earl
of Sunderland were divided between his three
natural daughters, of whom the eldest,

I. JMary, ?«. Charles Powlett, sixth IMarquis
of Winchester, created lirst Duke of Bol-

and Bolton Hall has descended to the pre-
sent William Orde Powlett, Baron Bolton
(see Peerage).

in that country in 1408. He was faithful to
liis sovereii^n and benefactor, Richard II.
to the last, and accompanying him to Con-
way Castle upon Lancaster's invasion, was
present at the conference there between that
usurper and the king, bearing the sword of
state. He was likewise with King Richard
on occasion of that melancholy scene in the
castle of Flint, which is described with so
much pathos by Shakespeare, and scarcely
less so by contemporary historians. Shake-
speare represents Percy as informing the
Duke of Lancaster of the king's conceal-
ment ill Flint Castle,

"And with him Lord Aumerle, Lord Salis-
bury, Sir Stephen Scroop, besides a clergy-
man of holy reverence."

Rich. II. act 2, so. 4.

Sir Stephen Scrope married Milicent,
daughter and co-heir of Robert, Lord Tip-
toft or TiBETOT, whose wardship, together
with that of her two sisters, had been granted
by Edward III. to his father, Lord Scrope
of Bolton. By his marriage with this lady
he obtained the manors and lordships of
Castle Coinbe, in the county of Wilts, and
Oxendon, in Gloucestershire, which liad

of his maternal estates until after the death
of Lady Scrope's second husband, the cele-
brated Sir John Fastolf, K.G. by whom
they were enjoyed (by the courtesy of Eng-
land) for nearly fifty years. At length, at
his death in 1460, Stephen Scrope, who was
still alive, but at an advanced age, suc-
ceeded to tlie estates, and possessed them
