"  Bis  dat  qui  cito  dat." 

The  Colonies   form  such  an   important  portion  of  our   Empire   that   a 
^history  of  the  leading  families,  and  their  connection  with   the  mother 

country,  cannot  fail  to  be  of  interest. 
^*<  The  preparation  of  this  work  has  already  been  the  means  of  bringing 
\  together  kinsfolk  from  both  sides  of  the  globe,  and  I  trust  that  the  result 
of  my  labours  may  still  further  tend  to  promote  that  family  love  and 
unity  which  has  always  been  the  characteristic  trait  of  our  race. 
5'  I  have  received,  from  every  one  of  my  correspondents,  unvarying 
4  politeness  and  attention — from  many,  most  important  assistance — and  to 
1  I  now  beg  to  return  my  best  and  sincerest  acknowledgments. 
Many  imperfections  will  be  apparent,  I  fear,  to  the  critic  of  these 
pages,  but  I  may  be  permitted  to  say  that  the  popularity  of  "Burke's 
Landed  Gentry  "  was  not  lessened  by  the  fact  that  faults  were  numerous 
in  the  first  edition.  The  publication  of  this  volume,  by  inviting  public 
criticism,  is  the  only  way  to  draw  forth  more  detailed  and  correct  informa- 
tion on  the  subject,  and  I  cordially  ask  all  persons  interested  to  put 
themselves  into  direct  communication  with  me,  so  that  any  points  they 
may  raise  could  be  dealt  with  in  a  subsequent  edition.  I  need  not  say 
that  it  will  afford  me  much  pleasure  to  reply  to  any  questions  affecting 
the  various  memoirs. 

THE  EDITOIL 


*#*  All  communications  to  be  addressed  to  The  Editor  of  "  The  Colonial 
Gentry,"  at  Hakrison  and   Sons',  59,  Pall  Mall  (S.W.),  London.

ILmtagE. 


The  ancestors  of  this  family  settled  at 
Kington,  Thornbury,  co.  Gloucester,  Eng- 
land, a  copyhold  belonging  to  the  Duie  of 
Buckingham.  The  family,  of  -which  there 
are  still  many  branches  existing,  is  one  of  the 
oldest  in  Gloucestershire,  and  has  now  been 
seated  at  Kington  House  for  nearly  five 
centuries. 

The  Suffolk  family  of  Thurston,  like  the 
Kentish  line,  is  now  extinct,  and  it  is  believed 
that  these,  the  Thurstons,  of  Gloucestershire, 
are  the  only  direct  descendants  of  John 
Turstin,  the  branches  of  whose  family  in 
COS.  Norfolk,  Suffolk,  and  Kent  called  them- 
selves Turstin,  Thurston,  and  Thruston,  and 
in  the  western  counties  assumed  the  name  of

Chemingnarde,  near  Thornbury,  Witelai  Hun- 
dred, CO.  Gloucester,  a.d.  1399,  came  out  of 
the  south  of  Norfolk,  where  the  family  was 
numerous.  He  claimed  a  common  origin 
with  the  Bassets,  and  acquired  Chemingnarde 
from  William  and  Maud  Stafford.  On  his 
death,  in  1413,  the  family  appears  to  have 
broken  up  and  to  have  found  new  homes  at 
Wootton-under-Edge,  Thornbury,  and  other 
places.     His  great  grandson, 

EoBEET  Thubstin,  of  Kington  House, 
Thornbury,  co.  Gloucester,  d.  1484,  and  was

Tlie  Davenports  descend  from  Ormus  de 
Davenport,  living  in  the  time  of  the  Conquest.

in  Leicestershire,  in  the  16th  century,  where 
they  resided  at  the  Moated  House,  which  was 
standing  till  abont  1745,  the  site  being  now 
the  property  of  Sir  Samuel  Davenport's

property  was  bought  for  a  younger  son  of  the 
Davynports  of  Bramhall,  Cheshire,  in  the 
16th  century.  In  that  century  (1553)  Thomas 
Davynporte  was  mayor  of  Leicester.  He  en-

in  the  parish  church  of  Grreat  Wigston,  of 
which  some  members  of  the  family  were  vicars.

Hineage. 


This  family  is  believed  to  be  identical  with 
that  of  Bourchier.  Mr.  Bowker's  ancestor, 
according  to  tradition,  having  lost  all  his 
estates,  through  adherence  to  the  Pretender, 
Charles  Stuaet,  was  compelled  to  change 
Ills  name  from  Bourchier  to  Bowker. 

Tlie  Anglo-Norman  family  of  Bourchier  is 
of  great  antiquity.  They  are  frequently  men- 
tioned in  English  history.     One  of  the  family 


is  famous  as  having  been  the  patron  of  Caxton, 
the  printer,  and  an  Archbishop  Bourchier, 
who  was  killed  at  the  battle  of  Barnet,  is  in- 
terred at  Westminster  Abbey. 

Thomas  Bowkeb,  Esq.,  left  co.  Westmore- 
land to  settle  in  Northumberland.  He  was 
father  of  several  children,  amongst  whom  were 
Benjamin  and  Miles  ;  the  latter  gentleman.

affirmed  with  certainty  that  his  ancestors 
came  at  an  early  period  to  America.  His

J. P.,  member  of  the  Legislative  Assembly,  and  one  of  the  earliest  and  best 
known  of  the  pioneers  of  the  Colony  of  Victoria  (see  Rutledge  of 
Webronggurt). 


ILt'neage. 


According  to  tradition  the  ancestors  of  the 
Aberdeenshire  family  of  Gill  came  originally 
from  Cumberland  (where,  at  a  very  early 
period,  they  owned  lands,  amongst  others  the 
bai'ony  of  G-illsland)  into  Scotland.  Certain 
it  is  that  the  surname  is  of  great  antiquity  in 
both  countries. 

In  1296,  Patrick  del  Gryle  is  amongst  the 
gentlemen  of  Peeblesshire  who  sign  the  Rag- 
man Koll  (see  "  Chambers'  Peeblesshire,"  p. 
65).  This  prefix  "  del  "  was  not  uncommon 
at  that  period.  The  above  Patrick  Gill,  as 
well  as  some  others  of  the  surname,  appear 
in  various  of  the  Scotch  counties  as  people  of 
some  position. 

It  ha3  been  the  constant  family  tradition 
that  tbis  family  is  directly  descended  from  a 
John  Gill,  wlio  was  Provost  of  Perth  early  in 
the  15th  century.  The  various  records  of 
Perth  show  that  the  family  had  then  been 
very  floru-ishing,  and  besides  owning  the  lands 
of  Haltoun  and  Torsopy,  in  the  county  of 
Perth  (John  Gill,  lord  of  Torsopy,  appears 
as  witness  to  a  charter,  signed  at  Edin- 
burgh, 11th  February,  1366),  held  such 
positions  of  trust  and  distinction  as  proved 
them  lo  be  worthy  men. 

John  Gill,  of  Haltoun,  was  burgess,  baillie, 
and  afterwards,  1403,  provost  of  Perth. 
Another  John  Gill,  burgess  of  Perth  (prob- 
ably father  of  the  former)  is  mentioned  fre- 
quently in  the  town  records  from  1328 
downwards.  John  Gill,  burgess  of  Perth, 
and  M.P.  for  that  town,  1364,  1367,  1369 
and  1373,  together  with  the  old  family  of  the 
Mercers,  of  Aldie,  takes  a  prominent  part,  at 
this  pei-iod,  in  the  management  of  public 
affairs,  and  in  1406 — 7  proceeds  to  Paris  with 
Sir  Walter  Stewart  of  Ralston,  and  others, 
to  renew  the  league  between  Scotland  and 
France.  He  is  mentioned  as  deceased  be- 
tween 10th  June,  1-118,  and  27th  July,  1420. 
In  1410,  John  Gill  (probably  a  son  of  the 
last-mentioned  John  Gill)  was  one  of  the 
three  first  lecturers  on  philosophy  and  logic  in 
St.  Andrew's  University,  under  bishop  Henry 
Wardlaw,  the  pious  founder  of  that  seat  of 
learning.  The  family,  much  reduced  in  cir- 
cumstances, appear  in  the  records  of  Perth- 
shire as  late  as  1648. 

The  Aberdeenshire  branch  are  believed  to 
iiave  left  Perthshire,  and  to  have  settled  in 


Aberdeenshire,  in  the  early  half  of  the  16th 
century.  Most  probably  they  had  done  so 
to  escape  some  of  the  constant  feuds  only  too 
common  at  that  period,  but  owing  to  the 
very  defective  state  of  the  registers  and  re- 
cords generally  (the  Aberdeen  and  Banff 
wills  were  unfortunately  nearly  all  destroyed 
by  &re  previous  to  1721),  the  connection  of 
this  family  with  their  more  southern  jjro- 
genitors  cannot  well  be  traced. 

Alexanbeb  Gill,  b.  about  1550,  who 
settled  at  Auchlyne,  in  the  parish  of  Aberdour, 
in  the  Buchan  district  of  Aberdeenshire, 
m.  Barbara  Findlay,  and  was  dead  before  18th 
March,  1618.     Their  son, 

RoBEBT  Gill,  of  Auchlyne,  appears  as 
living  there  in  1618  and  1655,  m.  and  had 
two  sons, 

I.  George, 

II.  Patrick,  of  Ailhouseburne,  co.  Banff, 
m.  and  had  a  daughter,  Issobell,  bap- 
tised 2nd  April,  1653. 

The  elder  son, 

George  Gill,  who  removed  to  Warie- 
lip,  in  the  adjoining  parish  of  Boyndie, 
and  county  of  Banff,  where,  according  to  a 
curious  old  raised-lettered  tombstone,  he 
"departed  this  lyf"  3rd  April,  1689,  m. 
M.  C.  (initials  on  tombstone  ;  Cumming  may 
have  been  the  maiden  name  of  Mrs.  Gill,  as 
a  family  of  this  surname  are  interred  in  an 
adjoining  grave).  Many  members  of  the 
Gill  family  were  interred  at  Boyndie, 
although  there  are  only  two  tombstones  there. 
Issue,  two  sons,

2ndly,  Barbara  Sim,  but  by  her  had 
no  issue.  By  his  will,  dated  16th 
March,  1763,  he  leaves  the  bulk  of 
his  property  to  his  grandchild  "  Pat- 
rick Catto,  and  his  heirs  male  or  fe- 
male, procreat  of  his  body  ;  failing,  to

III.  Florence  Mabel. 
This  gentleman,  who  was  educated  at  Ballymena  Academy,  co.  Antrim, 
Ireland,  emigrated  to  Australia,  where  his  brothers  had  preceded  him  thii-teen 
years  previously,  and  arrived  in  Melbourne  in  May,  1852.  After  visiting  the 
goldfields  with  some  degree  of  success,  he  entered  into  pastoral  pursuits,  subse- 
quently, in  conjunction  with  his  brothers,  purchasing  Longerenong,  one  of  the 
best  stations  on  the  Wimmera  ;  and  afterwards,  Yanko  station,  Murrumbidgee, 
New  South  Wales,  with  other  properties.  He  was  twice  elected  a  member  of 
the  Legislative  Assembly  of  Victoria  for  the  Wimmera  ;  and  was  twice  elected 
(first  in  1875)  to  the  Upper  House  of  Legislature  for  the  Western  Province. 
He  built  the  "  Wilson  Hall,"  of  the  Melbourne  University  ;  introduced  the 
salmon  into  Australian  waters  ;  is  the  author  of  works  entitled  :  Salmon  at 
the  Antipodes,  The  Angora  Goat,  and  other  valuable  papers  on  acclimatisation. 
Sir  Samuel  Wilson  was  vice-president  of  the  Melbourne  International 
Exhibition  of  1880,  and  a  royal  commissioner  for  the  Fisheries  Exhibition  in 
1883.  He  unsuccessfully  contested  the  county  of  Londonderry  in  1881,  and 
the  northern  division  of  Buckinghamshire  in  1885,  and  was  returned  to 
Parliament,  as  M.P.  for  Portsmouth,  in  1886  ;  knighted  in  1875. 


Hineage. 


SlE  Samtjel  Wilsox  is  paternally  of  a 
branch  of  the  family  of  Wilson,  settled  in 
the  north  of  Ireland.  In  the  female  line  he 
claims  descent  from  the  ancient  histi  ric 
house  of  Kirkpatiick,  of  Closeburn,  Dum- 
friesshire, traceable  back  to  Ivone  Kirk- 
PATKICK,  who  lived  in  the  time  of  David  I, 
and  witnessed  a  charter  of  Robert  Brus,  Lord 
of  Annandale,  to  the  monks  of  Abbeyholm. 
In  the  troublous  times  of  the  latter  half  of 
the  17th  century,  three  brothers  (so  says 
tradition)  of  the  chief  of  the  Closeburn

chiefly  Irishmen,  who  were  concerned  in  the 
Rebellion  of  1798,  amongst  wliom  was  Holt, 
the  leader  or  general.  Mr.  Cox  retired  from 
the  army,  and  became  a  successful  colonist,

land  in  tlie  Mulgoa  valley,  and  also  formed 
stations  on  the  Macquarie  river  at  Biu'rend-

ancient  arms  of  the  O'Hallokans  is  thus 
narrated  :  A  chieftain  of  Clanfergeal,  on  a 
journey,  resting  for  awhile  beneath  a  tree, 
fell  asleep  from  fatigue.  Three  chiefs  of  a 
neighbouring  tribe,  at  enmity,  were  on  the 
point  of  attacking  liim,  when  a  lizard,  crawl- 
ing over  his  face,  awolte  him.  Seeing  the 
hostile  intentions  of  the  three  armed  men,  he 
sprung  up  to  defend  himself,  sIpw  their  chief, 
who    was   mounted   on   a   white  horse,   and 


mortally  wounded  the  other  two.  To  com- 
memorate this  achievement,  he  assumed  for 
his  crest  a  lizard  (in  Ireland  termed  a  man 
keeper),  and  for  his  shield  of  arms  three 
mullets  pierced,  with  a  white  horse  capari- 
soned, without  a  rider,  on  a  field  gu. ;  adopt-

wound  and  I  kill.

BURKE'S  COLONIAL  GENTRY. 


the  date  1598,  and  an  inscription  states  that  it  was  "  used  at  the  coronation 
banquet  of  James  I  and  VI  of  Scotland  by  one  of  the  Bonython  family,  who 
officiated  at  the  banquet." 


Hintage. 


The  Bonytlions  are  an  ancient  Cornish 
family.  Their  original  seat,  Bonython,  is 
"  in  the  Lizard  district  in  the  parish  of  Cury, 
a  bleak  wild  tract  on  the  serpentine  forma- 
tion, where  the  sea  washes  the  lonely  shores 
of  Gunwalloe ;  and  in  this  remote  district 
they  flourished  for  many  generations  in  great 
repute,  exercising  a  wide  influence,  botii 
social  and  political,  throughout  the  length 
and  breadth  of  the  land"  (Gentleman's 
Maffazine,  February,  1868).  In  the  12th 
century,  Simon  de  Bonytlion  went  into 
Ireland  as  the  king's  special  representative  ; 
and  one  of  the  Cornish  historians  mentions  a 
member  of  the  family  as  a  man  of  great 
repute  in  the  reign  of  Henet  V.  During 
the  preceding  reign,  the  well-known  estate 
of  Carclew,  iiear  Falmouth,  with  an  ad- 
joining manor,  passed  by  marriage  to  Richard 
Bonython,  son  of  Simon  Bonython  of  Bony- 
tlion. Later  on,  the  family  had  other  seats, 
notably  one  in  St.  Columb  Minor.  They 
intermarried  with  the  leading  families  of 
Cornwall.  Sir  Francis  G-odolphin,  the  famous 
soldier  of  the  reign  of  Queen  Elizabeth,  and 
the  ancestor  of  the  Earls  of  Q-odolphin,  was 
the  son  of  Katherine,  daughter  of  Edmund 
Bonython.  But  it  was  during  the  troublous 
days  of  the  Stuart  dynasty  that  the  Bony- 
thons  figured  conspicuously.  They  held 
various  important  official  positions,  had  seats 
in  Parliament  and  were  to  be  found  as 
distinguished  men  at  the  Bar,  as  well  as  in 
the  Army  and  the  Navy.  The  poet  Long- 
fellow was  a  descendant  of  Captain  Eichard 
Bonython,  who  was  one  of  the  original  pro- 
prietors of  what  is  now  known  as  Maine  in 
the  United  States  of  America.     Both  Bony- 


thon and  Carclew  have  passed  into  otlier 
hands.  At  the  beginning  of  the  present 
century,  the  only  property  which  remained 
was  in  St.  Columb  Minor.  There  lived 
John  Bonython,  Esq.,  the  head  of  the 
family,  who  was  the  son  of  Thomas  Bont- 
thon,  Esq.,  by  Mary  Eoberts.  his  wife,  and 
was  b.  in  1755.  His  eldest  son  (by  Ann, 
daughter  of  John  Langdon,  Esq.), 

Thomas  Bonython,  Esq.,  was  b.  in  1787  ; 
emigrated  first  to  Canada,  and  afterwards  to 
Sovith  Australia,  whither  he  was  followed  by 
his  eldest  son  (George  Langdon)  and  grand- 
son (John  Langdon) ;  m.  5tli  October,  1816,

Launceston,  Tasmania),  and  d.  at  Mount

CO.  Dumfries,  is  said  to  have  been  at  Flodden ; 
in  1547  he  was  taken  prisoner  by  the  English

Jeremiah  Fbench,  Esq.  (the  great  grand- 
father of  the  above),  or  his  immediate 
ancestor,  is  said  to  have  come  from  the  neigh- 
bourhood of  Manchester,  co.  Lancaster. 
There  is  some  account  of  him  given  in 
Munson's  Early  History  of  Manchester, 
Vermont,  U.S.A.,  in  1764,  to  which  point  he 
came  from  New  York  State,  and  the  public 
records  at  Montpelier,  the  capital  of  Vermont, 
contain  much  information  about  him.  On 
the  breaking  out  of  the  Revolution  he,  with  a 
few  others  at  Manchester,  refused  to  assist 
the  rebels,  and  joined  the  British  A.rmy  in 
Canada,  serving  as  an  officer  under  Burgoyne. 
In  consequence  of  his  loyalty  to  the  British 
Crown  his  lands  at  Manchester  were  con- 
fiscated, and  his  wife  and  children  driven 
from  their  home  and  land  across  the  border. 
In  1792  he  was  a  member  of  the  first  Canadian 
Parliament,  and  his  name  appears  in  the 
original  records  of  the  Parliament,  which  are 
in  England.  During  the  visit  of  the  Duke  of 
Kent  (father  of  Queen  Victoria),  in  the  early 
part  of  this  century,  he  was  entertained  at  the 
residence  of  Jeremiah  Fi-ench,  and  it  was 
during  the  festivities  on  this  occasion  that 
the  latter's  daughter,  a  young  girl,  was 
accidentally  shot  by  her  own  father,  when  the 
gentlemen,  including  the  duke,  were  at  target 


practice.      He  »».,  and   had,  amongst   other 
issue,  a  son,

Hineaae. 


There  were  three  families  bearing  this 
surname  in  the  time  of  Hbnbt  VIII.  Sir 
Richard  is  supposed  to  be  descended  from  the 
Eet.  S.  Caetwright,  pi-incipal  of  one  of  the 
colleges  in  Oxford,  temp.  Queen  Elizabeth. 
Mr.  Cartwright,  who  was  sent  to  Boston  by 
Charles  II,  in  1663,  as  commissioner  to  tlie 
then  colony  of  Massachusetts,  is  also  thought 
to  be  an  ancestor  of  Sir  Richard  John  Cart- 
wright. 

Richard  Caetwright,  Esq.,  was  h.  in 
London,  February,  1720,  settled  in  New 
York,  1741.  In  the  troubles  of  1775-6  his 
house  was  sacked  and  burnt,  and  he  and  liis 
son  driven  into  exile.  It  is  probable  that  all 
documentary  evidence  which  might  have 
proved  the  family  to  have  been  a  cadet  of  the 
Cartwrights  of  Aynhoe  then  perished.  He 
m.  in  1743,  Miss  Beaseley,  of  Albany,  State  of 
New  York  (descended  from  one  of  the  early 
Dutch  families  wlio  settled  in  New  Amster- 
dam when  a  Dutch  colony),  and  had  issue, 

Hon.  Richard  Cartwright,  member  of 
the  Legislative  Council  of  tipper  Canada 
from  its  formation  in  1792  vmtil  his  death,  h. 
at  Albany,  State  of  New  York,  then  a  British 
colony,  2nd  February,  1759.  He  accom- 
panied his  parents  into  Canada,  and  for  a 
time  attended  Colonel  Butler,  of  the  Queen's 
Rangers,  as  his  secretary.  He  afterwards  was 
associated  with  the  Hon.  Robert  Hamilton, 
until  this  gentleman  went  to  Niagara,  Mr. 
Cartwright  remaining  at  Kingston.  Soon 
after  his  settlement  in   Kingston,  Mr.  Cart- 


wright was  appointed  judge  of  the  Common 
Pleas,  and  on  the  division  of  the  provinces 
was  appointed  a  member  of  the  Legislative 
Council,  but  declined  to  accept  a  seat  in  the 
Executive  Council,  which  was  several  times 
offered  to  him.  He  m,.  Miss  Secord,  of  French 
Huguenot  extraction  (whose  family  came  to 
America  on  the  revocation  of  the  Edict  of

The  name  of  Baillie  is  met  with  in  the 
time  of  Edwaed  I.  Sir  John  Baillie  is 
mentioned  as  being  appointed  one  of  the 
arbitrators  to  hear  and  determine  upon  the 
claims  of  the  competitors  for  the  Crown  of 
Scotland  in  1292,  whose  name  and  seal, 
seven  stars  with  the  motto  "  Quid  clarius 
astris,"  is  attached  to  that  document. 
Tradition  says  that  on  a  certain  occasion  one 
of  the  family  single-handed  killed  a  wild 
boar,  and  relieved  his  sovereign  from  danger, 
■whereupon  he  was  desired  henceforth  to 
bear  nine  stars,  which  all  his  descendants  do, 
but  some  of  them  have  the  boar's  head  for  a 
crest,  and  others  the  arm  and  seymitar,  being 
the  weapon  with  which  the  deed  was  done. 

SiE  William  Baillie,  of  Lamington,  co. 
Lanark,  by  Marian,  his  wife,  daugliter  of  Sir 
John  Seton,  of  Seton,  had  a  numerous  issue. 
The  three  eldest  sons,  it  is  said,  had  maimed 
a  clergyman,  who  had  been  taken  into  the 
house  as  tutor,  for  a  grievous  offence  which 
he  had  committed  in  their  family,  of  which 
injury  he  died.  The  power  of  the  Church 
at  this  time  being  great  in  Scotland,  the 
three  brothers  were  (continues  the  tradition) 
obliged  to  fly. 

The  eldest,  who  settled  in  Inverness,  is 
stated  to  have  fought  at  the  battle  of 
Brechin,  and  to  have  been  for  his  services 
rewarded    with   the   lands   of    Dunain    and 


Torbreck,  part  of  the  castle  lands  of  Inver- 
ness; from  him  springs  the  family  of  Doch- 
four,  and  its  derivative  branch  of  Bedoastle 
and  Tarradale  (see  Burke's  Landed  Qentri/ 
of  Q-reat  Britain  and  Ireland').  The  second, 
of  whom  presently,  settled  in  Ireland,  and 
the  third  went  to  the  Isle  of  Anglesey,  and 
founded  the  family  of  which  the  Marquess 
of  Anglesey  is  a  descendant.  The  second 
brother  was 

Alexawdee  Baillie,  who  settled  in  Ire- 
land, at  Innishargie,  co.  Down,  in  the  reign 
of  James  I.,  about  the  year  1620,  and  d. 
1687.  He  had  issue,  John  (Capt.),  of  whom 
presently;  and  Edward,  who  settled  at  Ring- 
dufferin,  co.  Down,  and  was  ancestor  of  the 
family  of  Bailie  of  Ringdufferin  (see  Burke's 
Landed  Oentry  of  Great  Britain  and  Ire- 
land).    The  eldest  son, 

Capt.  John  Baillie,  who  was  h.  1623, 
d.  1687,  and  was  s.  in  Innishargie  by  his

Hi'ncaar. 


This  family,  styled  by  Camden  in  his 
Britanuica  "the  honourable  and  ancient 
house  of  Tyrwhitts,  knts.,"  has  been  seated 
for  several  centuries  in  the  north  of  England. 
It  has  had  an  able  historian  in  one  of  its 
members,  Mr.  Robert  Philip  Tyrwhitt.     The 


first  person  of  the  name  of  whom  we  have 
any  certain  account,  is  a  SlE  Hkeculps,  who 
is  said  (on  the  authority  of  the  Vincent  and 
Harleian  MSS.)  to  liave  been  knighted  and 
settled  in  Northumberland,  2nd  William  I. 
This  knight,    or   his  son,    bearing  the   same

name,  married  a  daughter  of  Sir  Thomas 
Scargill,  Knt.,  and  was  living  A.D.  1109,  10th 
Hehry  I. 

Sir  Hercules  is  stated  to  have  thus  acquired 
the  surname  of  Tyrwhitt : — Severely  wounded 
in  defending  a  bridge,  single  handed,  against 
numerous  assailants,  at  the  moment  he  had 
succeeded  in  ibrcing  them  to  retire,  he  fell 
exhausted  amongst  the  flags  and  rushes  of  an 
adjoining  swamp,  while  the  attention  of  his 
party,  who,  in  the  interim  had  rallied,  was 
fortunately  directed  to  the  spot  where  he  lay 
by  a  flock  of  lapwings  (or  as  called  in  some 
counties  tyrwhits)  screaming  and  hovering 
above,  as  is  customary  with  those  birds  when 
disturbed  in  the  vicinity  of  their  nests. 
Camden,  however,  in  liis  Remains,  derives 
the  name  from  the  place  so  called.  The  son 
of  Sir  Hercules, 

SiB  Robert  Tyrwhitt,  was  Lord  of 
Tyrwhitt  and  Assancke,  in  Northumberland. 
He  wedded  a  daughter  of  Sir  John  Wither- 
ington,  and  from  this  marriage  descended, 
through  a  line  of  ^jrogenitors  who  allied  with 
tlie  Umfravilles,  Lowthers,  Harbottles,  Ogles, 
Vauxes,  of  Gillesland,  Nevilles,  &c., 

Robert  Tyrwhitt,  grandson  of  Sir 
Oliver,  who  was  grandson  of  Sir  Hercules. 
This  gentleman,  who  is  described  (Harl. 
MSS.  810)  as  "  Robertus  Tyrwhit  arm.  de 
Ketilby,  com.  Line,  ac  Tyrwhitt  com.  North- 
umbria,"  is  mentioned  in  several  of  the  MSS. 
sometimes  as  of  Tyrwhitt  and  at  others  as  of 
Ketilby.  He  m.  Anne,  daughter  of  William 
Wyciiffe,  Esq.  of  WyclifEe  (a  sister  or  cousin 
of  the  celebrated  John  Wyciiffe,  who  was 
succeeded  in  the  mastership  of  Balliol  Col- 
lege, Oxford,  by  Thomas  Tyrwhitt,  a  cadet 
of  the  family),  and  had  two  sons, 

I.  Thoma?,  of  Tyrwhitt,  who  m.  a 
daughter  of  Alan  de  Boisterick,  and 
was  ancestor  of  the  Tyrwhitts,  of 
Northumberland. 

II.  William  (Sib). 

The  second  son. 

Sir  William  Tyrwhitt,  of  Ketilby,  in 
the  county  of  Lincoln,  is  described  in  the 
Harleian  MSS.,  No.  1550,  as  "  Primarius 
Justicianus  Anglise,"  but  of  Sir  William's 
being  invested  with  the  chief-justiceship  we 
liave  no  other  authority.  He  in.  the  daughter 
and  heiress  of  John  G-rovale,  Esq.  of  Harps- 
well,  in  Lincolnshire,  and  liad  (with  a 
daughter,  Cecilia,  who  wedded  Sir  William 
Newport,  Knt.,  and  became,  after  her 
husband's  death,  Abbess  of  Ipswich)  a  son 
and  successor. 

Sib  Robert  Tyrwhitt,  Knt.,  of  Ketilby, 
who  was  one  of  the  judges  of  the  court  of 
king's  bench,  in  the  reigns  of  Henry  IV,  V, 
and  VI  ;  his  patents,  four  in  number,  are 
dated  8th  Henry  IV,  1st  Henry  V,  Ist 
Henry  VI,  and  may  be  found  in  Calen- 
darium  Patentium,  Twrri  Londinensi. 
He  is  named  among  the  "  Tireurs  des 
Peticions  "  to  Parliament  either  for  England 
or  Ijascony  and  Aquitaine,  for  every  parlia- 
ment between  9ih  Henby  IV  and  7th 
Heney  VI.     That  the  boldness  of  the  feudal 


chief,  however,  strongly  predominated  in  the 
character  of  this  learned  functionary  over  the 
meekness  of  the  christian  judge,  appears  too 
evident  by  the  following  curious  extract  from 
Cotton's  records  : — "  13  Henry  IV,  William 
Lord  Rosse,  of  Famlake,  complayneth 
against  Robert  Tirwhitt,  one  of  the  justices 
of  the  king's  bench,  for  withholding  from 
him  the  manor  of  Molton  Rosse,  in  Lincoln- 
shire, and  laying  wait  for  the  said  Lord  Rosse 
with  the  number  of  500  men.  Sir  Robert 
Tirwhitt  before  the  kynge  confesseth  his 
fault  and  craveth  pardon,  and  offeringe  to 
stand  to  by  order  of  two  lords  of  the  kindred 
of  the  sayd  Lord  Rosse  as  they  should 
choose,  whereunto  the  kynge  agreed,  and  the 
sayd  Lord  Rosse  chose  the  archbishop  of 
Canterbury  and  the  Lord  Grey,  chamberlaine 
to  the  kynge,  who  made  alonge  award,  leav- 
ing the  right  of  common  of  pasture  in 
Wragby,  in  com.  Line,  to  the  determination 
of  Sir  William  Gascoigne,  chief  justice,  and 
it  was  enjoigned  to  the  said  Sir  Robert 
Tirwhitt  that  at  a  day  certaine  he  shod 
repair  at  Molton  Rosse  2  tunnesof  Gascoigne 
wyne,  2  fatt  oxen,  and  12  fatt  sheepes,  and 
offer  rej)aration.  And  that  he  should  bring 
together  all  knights,  esquires,  and  yeomen, 
that  were  of  his  own,  and  that  they  shod  all 
confess  their  fault  and  crave  pardon,  and 
further  offer  to  the  sayd  Lord  Rosse  500 
markes  in  money,  and  that  the  sayde  Lorde 
Rosse  should  refuse  the  money,  graunt  him 
pardon,  and  take  his  dinner  only."  The 
whole  of  the  proceedings  in  this  matter,  from 
their  commencement  by  the  petition  of . 
William  Lord  Roos  to  the  award  of  the 
arbitrators  above  mentioned,  are  recorded  at 
great  length  in  the  rolls  of  Parliament,  13 
Henry  IV.  The  details  are  very  curious, 
and  throw  much  light  on  the  manners  of  that 
day.  The  award  is  an  object  of  particular 
interest  to  the  philological  antiquary,  as 
being  almost  the  earliest  specimen,  on  record, 
of  English  as  a  written  language. 

This  feud  between  the  families  of  Rosse 
(or  Roos)  and  Tyrwhitt  continued  up  to  the 
time  of  James  I  who,  on  the  occasion  of 
several  lives  being  lost  on  both  sides  in  a 
casual  rencontre  during  a  hunting  party, 
caused  a  gallows  to  be  erected  at  Molton 
Rosse,  near  Belvoir,  declaring  that  he 
would  hang  the  first  like  offender  on  it. 
This  gallows  is  said  to  be  renewed  from  time 
to  time,  up  to  the  present  day,  whenever  it 
falls  into  decay.  (Gough's  Camden,  vol.  ii, 
p.  388 ;  History  of  Lincolnshire,  1826  ;  and

whitt, second  son  of  Brian  Tyrwhitt,  of  Tyr- 
whitt, and  in  the  fourth  degree  from  Sir 
Hercules,  became  extinct,  the  great  part  of 
their  possessions  in  the  counties  of  York  and 
Lincoln  devolving  on  the  Tyrwhitts  of  Ketilby.

of  Beverley,  who  died  6th  January,  1427,  two 
years  before  his  contemporary.  Sir  Robert 
Tyrwhitt,  of  Ketilby.  It  appears,  too,  that 
soon  after  the  first  Sir  William  Tyrwhite, 
described  as  "  Primarius  Justicianus  Anglise," 
settled  at  Ketilby,  that  the  lordship  of  Tyr- 
whitt, in  Northumberland,  was  usui-pcd  by  a

Chaeles  I,  and  accompanying  her  to 
her  husband's  court,  was  present  at 
most  of  the  great  battles  of  that  period 
on  the  continent.  In  1631,  having  the 
king's  commission  for  that  purpose,  he 
raised  1,500  men  for  the  service  of 
Gustavus  Adolphus,  and  in  1632,  when, 
vipou  the  retirement  of  the  Marquis  of 
Hamilton  from  the  command  of  Gus- 
tavus's  English  and  Scottish  forces,  his

two  regiments,  Lieutenant-Colonel

desire,  appointed  to  the  command  of

year,  a  few  days  before  the  battle  of 
Lutzen,  he  was  taken  prisoner  by  the 
Imperialists,  whilst  on  a  reconnoitring 
party  with  Gustavus,  and  was  thus 
debarred  from  sharing  the  honours  of 
that  fatal  day.  He  escaped  after  the 
action.  In  1642,  he  joined  King 
Charles,  at  York,  with  155  men,  and 
in  the  same  year  was  appointed  to  a 
principal  command  in  the  wars  in  Ire-

HCineage. 


This  family  is  lineally  descended  from  that 
of  Campbell,  of  Aberuehill,  Baronets  of 
Nova  Scotia.  The  immediate  ancestor  of 
the  family  is  SiE  John  Campbell,  of  Lawers, 
CO.  Perth  (great  grandson  of  John  Campbell, 
of  Lawers,  youngest  son  of  SiE  Colin  Camp- 
bell, first  of  Glenorchy,  3rd  son  of  Duncan, 
1st  LoED  Campbell,  the  ancestor  of  the 
families  of  Aegyle  and  Beeadalbane,  see 
those  titles  in  Burke's  Feerar/e),  who  m.  his 
cousin  Beatrix,  daughter  of  Sir  Colin  Camp- 
bell, of  Glenorchy,  and  had  three  sons, 

I.  Sir  James  Campbell,  of  Lawers,  m. 
Jean,  daughter  of  James,  1st  Lobd 
Colville  oe  Culhoss  (see  Burke's 
Peerage).  Their  son,  John,  m.  1629, 
Margaret,  Baeoness  Loudoun,  and 
was  elevated  to  the  peerage,  12th  May, 
1633,  by  the  titles  of  Baeon  Faerin- 
TEANE  AND  Mauchline,  and  Eael  of 
Loudoun,  to  him  and  his  male  heirs 
for  ever  ;  but  his  lordship  joining  the 
opposition  to  the  Court,  the  patent 
was,  by  a  special  order,  stopped  at  the 
Chancery,  and  the  title  superseded 
until  1641,  when  it  was  allowed  with 
the  original  precedency.  In  this  year 
he  was  appointed  high  chancellor  of 
Scotland,  and  first  commissioner  of  the 
Treasury  ;  and  after  the  decapitation 
of  the  king,  when  the  Parliament  re- 
assembled in  1648,  Lord  Loudoun  was 
chosen  president  of  the  Session,  which 
ordered  the  Proclamation  of  Charles 
II.  Upon  his  majesty's  subsequent 
defeat  at  Worcester,  the  earl  was  not 
only  deprived  of  his  office,  but  forced 


to  conceal  himself  in  the  Highlands, 
while  an  act  of  attainder  and  forfeiture 
passed  against  him.  His  lordship  and 
his  son.  Lord  Mauchline,  had  the 
honour,  afterwards,  of  being  specially 
excepted  frojn  the  indemnity  granted 
by  the  usurper  to  the  people  of  Scot- 
land. He  d.  15th  March,  1662,  and 
was  s.  \>y  his  only  son  James,  2nd  Earl 
of  Loudoun  (see  that  title  in  Burke's 
Peerage),  who  is  represented  as  lieu- 
general  by  the  Earl  of  Loudoun  and  as 
heir  male  by  Sir  James  Campbell,  of 
Aberuehill,  13ait. 

II.  Colin  Campbell,  of  Aberuehill. 

III.  Archibald  Campbell,  prior  of  Stratli- 
Bllan. 

In  1594  Sir  John  acquired  Aberuehill,  and 
other  lands,  from  the  family  of  Moray,  of 
Abereairny,  and  the  following  year  resigned 
them  in  favour  of  his  second  son, 

Colin  Campbell,  of  Aberuehill,  who  had 
a  crown  charter  of  confirmation  in  that  estate, 
12th  July,  1596,  and  acquired  Craigineh, 
Leonards,  and  other  lands.  In  1612,  Archi- 
bald, Earl  of  Argyll,  justice  general  of  Scot- 
land, granted  a  commission  to  "  my  lovit 
Colin  Campbell,  of  Aberuehill,"  to  apprehend 
or  pursue  to  the  death  all  persons  of  "  that 
most  unhappie  and  barbarous  raice  of  the 
name  of  M'Gregor,"  his  majesty's  rebels. 
An  Act  of  Parliament,  1617,  against  the  elan 
Gregor,  mentions  depredations  committed  by 
tliem  on  the  estate  of  Aberuehill.  Colin 
Campbell  had  issue  by  his  wife,  Jean, daughter 
of  Harie  Drummond,  of  Eicearfon,

1689  ;  lord  of  justiciary  and  privy  councillor 
1690 ;  and  was  also  of  the  Privy  Council  to 
Queen  Anne  1703.  He  represented  the  co. 
of  Perth  in  Parliament  from  1690  to  1702.  In 
1669  Sir  Colin  Campbell  acquired  the  barony 
of  Kilbryde,  with  its  fine  old  castle  near  Dun- 
blane, Perthshire,  the  seat  of  the  Earls  of 
Menteith,  still  the  property  of  his  represen- 
tative. A  crown  charter  a  few  months  later 
erected  all  his  lands  into  one  free  barony,  hold- 
ing direct  of  tlie  king,  to  be  called  Aberuchill, 
and  made  Innerucliill  into  a  burgh  of  barony. 
Lord  Aberuchill  suffered  losses  amounting  to 
17,201Z.  at  the  hands  of  the  Scots  from  the

Hi'ncngt. 


The  family  of  Alison  from  very  early  times 
resided  in  the  parish  of  Avondale,  Lanark- 
shire. The  Gaelic  name  is  McAlister,  and 
was  changed  into  Alison  when  the  clan  was 
driven  from  Loupe,  Argyllshire,  by  the  fol- 
lowers of  King  Robert  the  Beuce.  Alex- 
ander McAlister,  a  descendant  of  Gromerled, 
the  Lord  of  the  Isles,  took  the  side  of  Baliol, 
and,  with  his  brother  John,  was  attacked  by 
King  Robert  the  Bruce  in  his  principal 
stronghold  called  Castle  Sweyn,  in  Knapdale. 
Compelled  to  flee  he  was  taken  pri-oner  on 
liis  way  to  Ayrshire  and  was  confined  in 
Dundonald  Castle,  where  he  d.  in  1300.  His 
brother  John  escaped  to  the  abode  of  Sir 
Winter  de  Hamilton,  in  Hamilton,  the  an- 
cestor of  the  dukes  of  that  name,  who  also  at 
first  took  the  side  of  Baliol.  To  preserve 
liim  and  his  followers  from  the  wrath  of 
Bruce,  Sir  Winter  de  Hamilton  placed  them 
in  Avondale.  There  tliey  have  continued  for 
t;00  years,  and  a  great  many  of  the  small 
estates  in  that  neighbourhood  are  still  owned 
by  their  descendants.  Their  original  estate 
of  Loupe  was  confiscated  and  given  to  the 
youngest  brother,  who  remained  faithful  to 
£ruce,  and  that  branch  of  the  clan  retained 
the  ancient  name  of  McAlister  to  the  present 
century  and  are  frequently  mentioned  in 
Scotch  history.  The  Alison  family  are  also 
alluded  to  several  times  in  the  time  of  the 
Covenanters.  One  Archibald  Alison,  of 
Windyedge,  a  farm  belonging  to  the  ancient 
estate  of  Cairnduff,  fought  at  the  battle  of 
Drumclog  against  Claverhouse,  afterwards 
Viscount  Dundee,  and  also  at  the  battle  of 
Bothwell  Bridge  ;  but  at  the  skirmish  at 
Ayrsmoss,  he  was  taken  prisoner  and  suifered 
martyrdom  at  the  Grassmarket  of  Edinburgh 


in  1679.  His  dying  testimony  is  recorded  in 
the  well-known  volume  called  The  Cloud  of 
Witnesses.  The  sword  of  Michael,  his 
brother,  is  still  in  the  hands  of  the  family,  a 
sword  which  he  wielded  at  the  battles  of 
Drumclog  and  Bothwell  Bridge,  and  at  the 
siege  of  Londonderry.  His  estate  is  still  in 
the  possession  of  a  cousin  of  the  present 
William  Alison,  Esq.

Etneage. 


The  Macartliurs  were  originally  the  chiefs 
of  the  clan  Campbell. 

The  first  appearance  of  the  Campbells  is 
in  the  reign  of  Alexander  II  of  Scotland. 
The  most  ancient  MS.  genealogies  attest  their 
Gaelic  origin.  When  iirst  mentioned  we  find 
them  divided  into  two  great  families,  after- 
wards distinguislied  by  the  patronymics  of 
Macarthur  and  MaoCailinmore.  Till  the 
reign  of  Robert  Bruce  the  Campbells  did 
not  possess  a  heritable  right  to  any  property 
in  Argyllshire.  The  situation  of  the  Mac- 
arthur branch  at  this  time  was  very  different, 
for  we  find  them  in  possession  of  a  very  ex- 
tensive territory  in  the  earldom  of  G-armoran, 
the  original  seat  of  the  clan.  It  is,  there- 
fore, impossible  to  doubt  that  Macarthur  was 
at  tliis  time  the  head  of  the  elan.  This  posi- 
tion he  appears  to  have  maintained  until  the 
reign  of  James  I  of  Scotland.  In  1487,  when 
this  monarch  summoned  his  parliament  at 
Inverness  for  the  piurpose  of  entrapping  the 
highland  chiefs,  John  Macarthur  was  one  of 
those  who  fell  into  the  snare  and  seems  to 
have  been  amongst  the  few  specially  devoted 
to  destruction.  He  was  beheaded  along  with 
Alexander  the  Lord  of  Garmoran,  and  his 
whole  property  forfeited  with  the  exception 
of  "  Strachur,"  and  some  lands  in  Perthshire, 
which  remained  to  his  descendants.  His 
position  at  the  head  of  the  clan  is  sufficiently 
pointed  out  by  the  historian.  Bower,  who 
calls  him  "  Princeps  Magnum  apud  suos,  et 
dux  Mille  Nominum." 

Macarthur  of  Strachur  was  chief  of  the 
clan  Campbell  previous  to  1427,  since  which 
date  the  oldest  cadet,  MacCailinmore  of 
Campbell  of  Loch  Arve,  now  Duke  of  Argyle, 
has  filled  that  position,  not  by  right  of  de- 
scent, but  by  feudal  and  territorial  power. 

John  Macarthur,  Esq.  of  Strachur,  Loch 
Arve,  N.B.,  was  slain  at  Culloden.  He  had 
seven  sons  (all  of  whom  fought  at  Culloden 
Moor,  a.d.  1746)  : — i.  Charles,  who  uiort- 
gagen  his  estate  to  the  MacCailinmore  or 
Argyle   family.      He   had    issue,   two   sons, 


1.  Charles,  in  whose  time  the  Strachur  mort- 
gage fell  due  and  was  foreclosed;  and,  2. 
Duncan,  who  entered  the  royal  navy  in  1794 
as  an  assistant  surgeon.  He  eventually  rose 
to  the  rank  of  a  "pliysician  of  the  fleet,"  and 
it  was  he  who  attended  the  great  Duke  of 
Wellington  at  his  death  ;  ii.  a  son,  who, 
after  Culloden,  went  to  Perthshire.  His 
grandson  was  "  Macarthur  of  Little  Mill," 
Perthshire;  ill.  a  son,  whose  grandson  was 
"  Macarthur  of  Hinton,"  a  purser  in  the  royal 
navy.  He  wrote  a  book  of  considerable  merit 
on  Naval  Courts  Martial ;  IT.  Alexander, 
of  whom  presently  ;  V.  a  son,  also  went  to 
Perthshire,  after  Culloden.  His  grandson 
was  a  lieutenant  R.N. ;  Tl.  a  son,  supposed 
to  have  been  killed  at  Culloden;  and  Tii.  a 
son,  supposed  to  have  gone  out  to  the 
American  colonies.     The  fourth  son, 

Alexander  Macarthur,  Esq.,  fled  from 
Scotland  after  the  battle  of  Culloden,  and 
apyie.'irs  to  have  taken  refuge  in  the  West 
Indies,  whence,  after  a  time,  he  returned  and 
settled  at  Devonport,  Devonshire,  England. 
He  m.  a  Scotch  lady,  and  by  her  had  two 
sons, 

I.  James,  of  whom  presently. 

II.  John,  of  Camden  Park,  Menangle, 
Camden  co.,  and  of  Elizabeth  Farm, 
Paramatta,  Cumberland  co.,  both 
New  South  Wales,  Australia ;  b.  in 
1767,  at  Plymouth,  co.  Devon ;  and 
entered  the  army  in  1782,  and  at  the 
close  of  the  war  in  1783  (his  regiment 
having  been  reduced,  and  he  being  put 
on  half -pay)  entered  upon  a  course  of 
study  to  complete  his  education. 
After  the  lapse  of  some  time  he  pur- 
chased a  captain's  commission  in  the 
102nd  Regiment,  destined  for  New 
South  Wales ;  embarked  for  Sydney 
with  his  young  wife  and  infant  son, 
afterwards  General  Sir  Edward 
Macarthur,  and  arrived  in  Sydney  in 
June,  1790.  As  early  as  1791  he 
began  to  turn  his  attention  to  agricul-

ture ;  in  comiiion  ■witli  tlie  other 
officers  of  llie  regiment,  lie  was  offered 
100 acres  of  land  near  Parraniatta,  -with 
a  promise  that  -wlioeTer  first  brought 
his  land  into  cultivation  should  have 
an  additional  quantity.  Captain  Mac- 
arthur  was  the  one  to  claim  this  privi- 
lege, and  he  it  was  who,  in  1795,  first 
broke  Australian  soil  with  a  plough, 
all  previous  cultivation  having  been 
carried  on  in  true  primitive  style,  with 
the  hoe.  On  the  land  thus  acquii-ed 
he  established  a  homestead,  to  which 
he  gave  the  name  of  "  Elizabeth 
Farm."  In  1794,  he  purchased  from 
a  brother  officer  sixty  Bengal  sheep, 
which  had  been  imported  into  the 
colony,  and  from  that  time  devoted 
himself  to  the  production  of  fine  wool 
in  Australia.  In  1796  he  obtained 
from  the  Cape  some  pure  Spanish 
merino  sheep,  in  all  five  ewes  and  three 
rams,  and  with  this  new  and  valuable 
blood  he  commenced  to  crop  his  hairy 
sheep  ;  and  whilst  others  were  devot- 
ing themselves  to  the  jiroduction  of 
carcasses,  he  steadily  jaersevered  in  his 
original  object — the  production  of  fine 
wool.  In  1801  he  took  the  first  sam- 
ples of  merino  wool  to  England,  and 
having  submitted  them  to  the  inspec- 
tion of  a  committee  of  manufacturers, 
they  reported  that  the  merino  wool 
was  equal  to  any  Spanish  wool,  and 
the  crossbred  of  considerable  value. 
Supported  by  the  manufacturers,  who, 
in  the  unsettled  state  of  Euroj^ean 
affairs,  were  fully  alive  to  the  advan- 
tage of  obtaining  a  national  source  of 
supply  for  their  raw  material,  and  en- 
couraged by  Lord  Camden,  the  Secre- 
tary of  State,  Captain  Macarthur 
decided  on  retiring  from  the  army 
and  devoting  himself  to  the  production 
of  fine  wool,  on  condition  that  he 
should  receive  a  grant  of  not  less  than 
5,000  acres  of  land  in  any  locality  he 
might  point  out.  He  obtained  some 
sheep  from  the  royal  flock  of  Spanish 
merinos  at  Kew,  and  retvirning  to  the 
colony  in  1805,  in  the  sliip  "Argo," 
which  he  had  purchased,  he  succeeded 
in  landing  five  rams  and  one  ewe.  The 
land  which  was  granted  to  him  by 
Lord  Camden,  then  known  as  "  The 
Cowpastures,"  became  the  foundation 
of  the  Camden  Park  Estate,  where  the 
descendants  of  her  grandfather's  flock 
are  preserved  with  great  care  by  the 
present  owner.  After  taking  a  lead- 
ing part  in  the  deposition  of  Governor 
Bligh  (a  most  accurate  account  of 
which  is  to  be  found  in  Eusden's 
History  of  Australia,  vol.  i),  Captain 
Macarthur  was,  with  several  officers  of 
the  New  South  Wales  corps,  sent  to 
England  under  arrest,  and  after  an 
absence  of  seven  years,  being  honour- 
ably acquitted,  he  returned  to  Aus- 
tralia    in     1817,     provided     by    the 


Government  with  suflncient  accommo- 
dation for  himself  and  his  sons,  James 
and  William.  John  Macarthur  was 
called  the  "  Father  of  the  Colony." 
In  1825  he  was  appointed  member  of 
the  first  Legislative  Council  of  New 
South  Wales.  The  expectations  that 
he  liad  formed  of  the  wool  trade  of 
the  colony  were  crowned  with  com- 
plete success,  and  the  wines  from 
the  vineyard  which  he  formed  at 
Camden  have  taken  the  first  rank  at 
international  exhibitions.  He  m.,  1788,

Bebteam  de  Vebditn  (stated  to  have  been

named  "le  Caplif ")  possessed  Farnham 
Royal,  Buckinghamshire,  holding  the  same

providing  a  glove  on  the  day  of  tiie  king's 
coronation  for  his  right  hand,  and  of  supijort- 
ing  the  monarch's  right  arm  during  the  same 
ceremony,  so  long  as  he  bore  the  royal 
sceptre.  At  the  coronation  of  King  G-eoege 
IV,  it  is  believed  that  Sir  G-.  F.  Verdon's 
grandfather  was  named  as  the  person  quali- 
fied by  descent  for  this  service,  but  being  too 
old  and  infirm  to  attend  the  Court,  it  was

Bekteam  de  Vebdon,  the  eldest  son,  was

30th  of  King  Henry  II's,  reign  inclusive. 
He  subsequently  attended  Richaed  I  to  the 
Holy  Land,  and  was  at  the  siege  of  Aeon, 
which  place,  upon  its  surrender,  was  com- 
mitted to  his  custody.  This  Bertram  founded 
the  abbey  of  Croxden,  co.  Stafford,  anno 
1176,  and  was  otherwise  a  liberal  benefactor 
to  tlie  Church.  He  ot.  first,  Maud,  daughter 
of  Eobert  de  Ferrers,  Earl  of  Derby,  by 
whom  he  had  no  issue  ;  and  secondly,  Eoesia, 
but  of  what  family  is  unknown.  He  d.  at

The  second  son  and  heir, 

Thomas  de  Veedon-,  m.  Eustachia, 
daughter  of  Gilbert  Bassett,  and  by  her  (who 
m.  secondly,  Richard  Camville)  he  had  no 
issue.  He'  d.  in  Ireland,  amio  1199,  s.p., 
when  he  was  s.  by  his  brother, 

Nicholas  de  'Veedon,  who,  in  the  6th 
John,  paid  to  the  king  lOOZ.,  as  also  a 
courser  and  palfrey,  for  livery  of  those  lands 
in  Ireland,  whereof  his  father  died  possessed. 
But  in  12  years  afterwards  he  took  part  with 
the  rebellious  barons,  whereupon  all  his 
lands  were  seized  by  special  precepts  from 
the  crown  to  the  sheriffs  of  Warwick,  Lei- 
cester, Stafford,  Lincoln,  Bucks,  and  Oxford, 
and  placed  in  the  custody  of  William  de 
Cantilupe,  during  the  king's  pleasure.  On 
his  submission,  however,  to  King  Heney  III, 
those  lands  were  restored  to  him  in  the  first 
year  of  that  monarch,  and  he  appears  after- 
wards to  have  enjoyed  the  favour  of  the 
king.  He  died  in  1231,  leaving  (by  Joan, 
his  wife)  an  only  daughter  and  heiress, 

RoEsiA  DE  Veedon,  who  m.  Theobald 
Le  Botillee,  of  the  noble  family  of  Butler, 
of  Ireland,  but  being  so  great  an  heiress,  re- 
tained her  maiden  name  after  marriage, 
which  her  husband  adopted.  At  the  time  of 
her  father's  decease,  she  appears  to  have 
been  a  widow.  This  lady,  who  founded  the 
abbey  of  Grace  Dieu,  for  Cistertian  monks, 
at  Beldon,  in  Leicestershire,  d.  in  1248, 
leaving  issue,

Maud,   m.  to  John  Eitz-Alan,   Earl  of 
Arundel. 

Roesia  was  s.  by  her  eldest  son, 

John  de  Veedon  (alias  Le  Botiller).  This 
great  feudal  lord,  being  one  of  the  barons 
marchers,  had  orders,  in  the  44th  HenetIII, 
on  the  incursions  of  the  Welsh,  to  keep  his 
residence  upon  the  borders.  After  which  he 
was  one  of  the  barons  who  adhered  to  the 
king,  in  the  conflict  between  the  crown  and 
the  nobles ;  and  upon  the  triumph  of  the 
royal  cause  at  Evesham,  he  was  commissioned 
to  raise  forces  in  Worcestershire,  for  the 
purpose  of  attacking  the  only  remaining  hold 
of  the  barons,  at  Kenilworth.  But  these 
troubles  being  at  length  ended,  John  de 
Verdon  was  signed  with  the  cross,  and 
accompanied  Prince  Edward  to  the  Holy 
Land.  John  de  Verdon  m.  first,  Margerie, 
daughter  of  Gilbert  de  Lacie,  and  co-heir  to 
her  grandfather,  Walter  de  Lacie,  Lord 
Palatine  of  Meath,  in  Ireland,  by  which 
alliance  the  castle  of  Weobley,  co.  Hereford, 
came  into  the  Verdon  family  ;  and  secondly, 
Alianore,  whose  surname  is  unknown.  At 
his  death,  being  slain  in  Ireland,  1278,  he 
left  issue, 

I.  Nicholas  (Sir),  of  Ewyas  Lacie,  d.  v.p. 
and  s.p.,  1271.

de  Verdon,  Knt.,  of  Denston,  co.  Staf- 
ford, and  of  his  brother.  Sir  John  de 
Verdon,  sheriff  of  Staffordshire,  34th 
Edwaed  III,  who  d.  s.p.,  leaving  his 
sister,  Joan,  wife  of  John  de  Whit- 
more,  Lord  of  Whitmore,  his  heir.  This 
Joan  left  two  daughters  and  co-heirs, 
viz.,  Joan,  in.  to  Henry  Clerk,  of 
Ruyton,  co.  Salop;  and  Elizabeth,  m. 
to  James  de  Boghay,  Lord  of  Whit- 
more. (See  Burke's  Landed  Oentri/,

I.  Agnes,  d.  1305. 

The  third  son, 

Theobald  de  Veedon,  lord  of  the  moiety 
of  Meath,  in  Ireland,  had,  in  the  3rd 
Edwaed  I,  on  doing  homage,  livery  of  his 
lands,  paying  100?.  for  his  relief.  At  this 
period  he  held  the  otfioe  of  Constable  of 
Ireland.  For  some  years  subsequently  this 
eminent  person  seems  to  have  enjoyed  the 
favour  of  the  crown,  and  to  have  received 
several  immunities ;  but  in  the  19th  of 
Edwaed's  reign  we  find  him  arraigned  for 
treason,  and  divers  other  misdemeanours, 
before  the  king  and  covmcil,  at  Bergavenny, 
ana  condemned  to  imprisonment  and  con- 
fiscation ;  the  king,  however,  taking  into  con- 
sideration the  good  services  of  his  ancestors, 
and  his  own  submission,  freed  him  for  a  fine 
of  500  marks;  and  he  \\as  soon  after  sum-

This  family  is  of  Scottish  origin.  About 
the  middle  of  the  17th  century  several 
members  of  the  family  settled  in  London- 
derry, Ireland,  where  they  remained  till  about 
the  middle  of  the  18th  century.  Some  of  these 
went  to  America  and  settled  temporarily  in 
Londonderry,  New  Hampton,  from  which 
place  four  brothers  of  the  name  went  to  Nova 
Scotia,  and  settled  in  Truro  in  17fi2.  David 
Archibald,  the  eldest  of  these  brothers,  was 
b.  in  1717.  In  1766  he  became  the  first 
member  of  the  township  of  Truro,  in  the 
General  Assembly  of  that  province,  and  in 
after  years  the  seat  was  held  by  his  son, 
Samuel;  his  grandson,  Samuel  Greorge  William; 
and  his  great  grandson,  Charles  Dickson 
(whose  brothers  were  the  late  Sir  Edward 
Mortimer  Archibald,  K.C.M.G.,  British 
consul-general  at  New  York,  and  the  late  Sir 
Thomas  Dickson  Archibald,  knight,  of 
Bickley,  co.  Kent,  England,  a  judge  of  the 
Court  of  Queen's  Bench,  England,  and  after-

successively  attested  charters  granted  by 
Walthur  and  Patrick,  Earls  of  Dunbar,  be-

27th  July,  1479,  Jacobus  de  Edington,  with 
others,  was  summoned  to  appear  before  the

treason  in  having  held  out  the  castle  of 
Dunbar  against  the  Eing,  and  for  having 
cruelly  put  to  death  some  of  his  subjects.

settled  on  Long  Island,  New  York,  and  then 
removed  to  Princeton,  New  Jersey,  where  he 
became  the  grantee  of  large  tracts  of  land.

Htneaae. 


This  is  supposed  to  be  a  cadet  line  of  the 
family  of  the  chief  of  Mackinnon. 

The  Mackinnons  descend  from  Fingon, 
youngest  son  of  Alpin,  King  of  Scotland ; 
the  name  Macfingon  became  subsequently 
Macfinden,  and  then  Mackinnon. 

Little  can  be  accurately  leai-ned  as  to  the 
early  history  of  the  Mackinnons ;  but  there 
is  one  event  of  importance  which  is  recorded 
by  clear  testimony.  On  the  decease  of  John 
of  the  Isles,  in  the  fourteenth  century,  Mac- 
kinnon excited  his  second  son,  John  Mor,  to 
rebel  against  his  eldest  brother,  and  his  fac- 
tion was  joined  by  the  Macleans  and  the 
Macleods.  But  Donald,  the  elder  brother, 
was  supported  by  so  large  a  majority  of  the 
tribe,  that  he  drove  John  Mor  and  his  party 
out  of  the  Isles,  and  pursued  them  to  Ire- 
land. Eventually,  John  Mur  appealed  to  his 
brother's  mercy,  and  was  pardoned ;  but 
Mackinnon,  as  the  instigator  of  the  rebellion, 
was  seized  and  put  to  death. 

On  the  forfeiture  of  the  last  Lord  of  the 
Isles,  and  in  the  disturbances  which  con- 
tinued during  the  following  century,  the 
name  of  Sir  Lauchlan  Mackinnon  occurs 
very  frequently,  and  he  appears  to  have  been 
a  man  of  consideration. 

John  Mackinnon,  Esq.  of  the  Isle  of 
Skye,  in  the  Western  Highlands  of  Scotland 
(who  had  a  brother,  the  Eev.  Donald  Mac- 
kinnon, of  Strath),  m.  in  1792,  Mary,  sister

Mr.  Allan  Mackinnon  arrived  in  Tasmania 
1823  ;  became  owner  of  Strath  in  1827  and  of 
Dalness  in  1835,  which  properties  have  since 
remained  in  the  possession  of  the  family.  He 
was  a  justice  of  tlie  peace  for  upwards  of 
20  years,  and  d.  at  Dalness,  Evandale,  17th 
October,  1877.  His  first  cousin,  the  Rev.

BLAXLAND,  EDWARD  TREMATNE,  Esq.  of  Fordwich,  Broke,  via 
Whittingham,  New  South  Wales,  Australia,  acting  manager  of  branch 
of  Commercial  Bank,  h.  July,  1864 ;  to.  at  St.  Andrew's,  Lismore,  New 
South  Wales,  1st  December,  1890,  Mary  Jane,  eldest  daughter  of  the  late  John 
Sheehan,  Esq.  of  Nowra,  New  South  Wales,  and  stepdaughter  of  the  late 
Thomas  Hood,  Esq.  of  South  Woodburn,  New  South  Wales. 


Ht'neaae. 


The  Blaxlands  are  of  great  antiquity,  and 
were  in  possession  of  the  Isle  of  Thanet  be- 
fore the  Norman  Conquest.  It  was  taken 
from  them  by  William  the  Conqueror,  and 
divided  among  several  of  the  families  of  his 
followers.  In  one  or  more  of  the  oldest 
churches  in  the  Isle  of  Thanet,  such  as 
Minster  Church,  may  be  seen  down  the  aisles, 
numerous  marble  slabs,  with  inscriptions  and 
effigies  of  the  Blaxlands.  There  are  three 
manors  in  Kent  which  still  retain  the  name 
of  Blaxland. 

John  Blaxland  or  de  Blockisland,  of 
Blaxland  Towers,  the  ancestor  of  this  family, 
is  mentioned  in  the  oldest  chronicles,  as  far 
back  as  when  St.  Augustine  came  to  England. 
He  was  present  at  the  christening  of  King 
Ethelbert  and  Queen  Beetha,  the  first 
Christian  king  and  queen  of  England,  on 
Whit-Sunday,  2nd  June,  597,  and  in  their 
presence  presented  St.  Augustine  with  a  grant 
of  land  for  the  future  abbey  of  St.  Augustine, 
the  first  missionary  home  in  Britain.  Part 
of  the  ruins  of  the  abbey  still  remain,  and  on 
the    site    stands   the   present    Abbey  of    St. 


Augustine.  With  King  Richaed  I  at  the 
Crusades  the  name  of  Reginald  de  Block- 
island  is  among  those  who  received  honours 
and  rewards  from  the  king.  One  John 
Blaxland  was  captain  of  the  guard  of 
Queen  Elizabeth.  He  m.  Elizabeth,  daugh- 
ter of  John  Lowen,  the  poet,  who  was  with 
Beaumont  and  Fletcher  (of  the  intellectual 
coterie  of  Shakspeare)  at  the  celebrated 
White  Hart. 

In  1730  the  coat  of  arms  was  granted  to 
John  Blaxland,  of  the  parish  of  St.  An- 
drew's, Holborn,  co.  Middlesex,  who  was  the 
son  of  John  Blaxland,  of  Luddenham 
Court,  CO.  Kent,  and  grandson  of  John 
Blaxland,  of  Allen  Court,  in  the  parish  of 
Minster,  in  the  Isle  of  Thanet,  co.  Kent,  by 
Frances,  his  wife,  one  of  the  daughters  and 
co-heirs  of  Geoffry  Sandwell,  of  Monckton, 
in  tlie  Isle  of  Thanet,  a  descendant  of  John 
de  Sandale,  who  was  admitted  canon  of  York, 
6th  May,  1314,  chancellor  of  England,  1315, 
and  elected  bishop  of  Winchester,  August, 
1316,  continuing  in  that  see  till  his  death,  at 
his  seat  in  Southwark,  2nd  November,  1319,

One  John  Blaxland,  supposed  to  be  a 
descendant  of  Jobn  Blaxland,  of  Holborn,  m. 
the  daughter  of  John  Oxley  Parker  (of  the 
family  of  Matthew  Parker,  archbishop  of 
Canterbury  in  the  time  of  Queen  Elizabeth),

IV.  Gregory,  of  Brush  Farm,  Parramatta 
River,  New  South  Wales,  b.  in  co. 
Kent,  1771,  was  sent  to  New  South 
Wales,  by  his  eldest  brother  John,  in 
1804,  and  settled  on  an  estate  called 
the'  JBrush,  not  far  from  the  banks  of 
the  Parramatta  Rirer.  In  1813,  he, 
together  with  W.  C.  Wentworth  and 
Lieutenant  Lawson,  discovered  tbe 
famous  pass  in  the  Blue  Mountains,  a 
task  which  had  several  times  pre- 
viously been  unsuccessfully  attempted, 
and  which  heroic  work  nearly  cost 
them  their  lives.  Through  this  act 
the  colony  of  New  South  Wales  was 
opened  out  to  the  extent  that  it  now 
is,  and  abundance  of  pasture  for  the 
flocks  and  herds  discovered  at  a  time 
vrhen  it  was  about  to  be  abandoned  on 
account  of  the  prevailing  drought. 
All  three  were  rewarded  with  grants 
of  land.  It  was  Gregory  Blaxland 
who  planted  the  first  vineyard  in  the 
colony  with  vines  from  the  Cape,  and 
he  made  the  first  wine,  for  which  he 
gained  the  first  gold  medal,  and  the 
silver  medal.  He  also  first  brought  the 
buffalo  grass  from  the  Cape,  which  has 
since  proved  so  beneficial.  Gregory 
Blaxland  m.,  in  1798,  in  England, 
Eliza,  daughter  of  John  Spurdon,  Esq., 
and  d.  3rd  January,  1853,  having  had

4.  Charles,  of  Cleves,  Parramatta

Russel,  and  had  issue,  seven  sons 
and  four  daughters,  one  of  whom,

]889,  as  his  second  wife,  Arthur 
George  Walker,  Esq.  of  Adding-

Ryde). 

5.  Gregory.

lived  at  the  Brush  Farm,  near 
the    banks    of     the    Parramatta 


River,  and  had  issue,  two  sons  and 
four  daughters.  The  elder  son, 
William,  was  the  second  agent- 
general  for  New  South  Wales, 
and  was  a  most  valuable  member 
of  Parliament.  The  eldest  child, 
Elizabeth,  to.  at  Hunters  Hill, 
New  South  Wales,  17th  October, 
1839,  her  cousin,  Arthur  Blax- 
land, Esq.  of  Fordwich,  Broke, 
via  Whittingham,  New  South

The  Hon.  John  Blaxland,  formerly  of 
Newington  Hall,  co.  Kent,  England,  and 
afterwards  of  Newington,  Parramatta  River, 
New  South  Wales,  was  b.  at  Fordwich,  co. 
Kent,  4th  January,  1769,  and  was  educated 
at  King's  School,  Canterbury.  On  the 
death  of  his  father  he  took  up  his  residence 
at  the  Hall,  Newington,  co.  Kent,  formerly  a 
rectory,  to  which  was  attached  the  great 
tithes  of  St.  Nicholas.  He  also  possessed 
Hartlip,  and  a  valuable  part  of  the  Romney 
Marshes.  John  Blaxland  was  a  captain  in  the 
Duke  of  York's  Cavalry.  Having  previously, 
in  1804,  freighted  a  ship  with  every  necessity, 
and  sent  his  youngest  brother,  Gregory,  to 
New  South  Wales,  he  built  another  ship, 
which  he  called  "  The  Brothers,"  and  in 
which  he  left  England  with  his  wife  and 
family  and  farm  servants,  under  a  convoy  of 
a  hundred  sail,  in  July,  1806,  and,  after  a 
nine  months'  voyage,  arrived  in  Port  Jack- 
son, Sydney,  April,  1807.  On  his  arrival,  the 
severe  treatment  with  which  he  met  at  the 
hands  of  Governor  Bligh  caused  him  to  return 
to  England,  and  on  representing  to  the 
Government  the  measures  which  had  been 
directed  against  him,  he  was  to  a  certain  ex- 
tent compensated.  In  1808  he  took  part  in 
the  deposition  of  Governor  Bligh.  He  sat 
in  the  Legislative  Council  from  1824  to 
1844.  John  Blaxland  to.  first,  in  Kent,  1790,

II.  George,  a  merchant  captain,  trading

Ht'neage. 


The  Scottish  family  of  Stenhouse  ie  held  to 
be  identical  with  that  of  Stonhouse,  of 
Radley,  in  Kent,  and  with  that  of  Staunus, 
of  Carlingford  and  Portarlington,  in  Ireland. 
The  Stenhouses,  of  Comley  Park,  near  Dun- 
fermline, Scotland,  descend  directly  from 
Stanehouse,  of  Carbolzie,  in  Scotland  (see 
Burke's  Landed  Oentry,  Stannus  OF  Cae- 
lingfoed). 

In  the  American  War  of  Independence,  at 
least  two  scions  of  the  stock  suffered  in  the 
Royal  cause — the  one  being  Thomas  Stannus, 
then  M.P.  for  Portarlington,  who  was  severely 
wounded  while  serving  with  the  22nd  Regi- 
ment, and  the  other,  Alexander  Stenhouse, 
Esq.,  M.D.,  whose  American  estates  were 
confiscated  by  the  Republic  at  the  close  of 
the  war.  This  Dr.  Alexander  Stenhouse  was 
cousin-german  to  the  present  Mr.  A.  M. 
Stenhouse's  grandfather.  The  British  govern- 
ment rewarded  his  fidelity  with  a  life  pension. 
The  deceased  members  of  the  Comley  Park 
Stenhouses,  are  all,  with  one  or  two  excep- 
tions, interred  under  the  walls  of  the  Old 
Abbey  Church  of  Dunfermline,  within  a  few 
feet  of  the  tomb  of  King  Robert  Beuce, 
whose  remains  lie  under  the  floor  of  the

This  family  of  Wright  came  from  the 
county  of  Chester,  England. 

Mr.  S.  E.  L.  Wright  is  a  lineal  descendant 
of  John  Evelyn,  Esq.  of  Wotton,  co.  Surrey, 
author  of  Sylva,  Diary,  &c.,  &c.,  and  great 
great  grandson  of  the  gallant  Captain 
FoETUNATUs  WEIGHT,  E.N.,  some  of  whose 
heroic  deeds  are  related  in  Kingston's  Popu- 
lar History  of  the  British  Navy,  in  Hume 
and  Smollett's  Historg  of  England,  in  a 
small  volume  by  J.  N.  Langton,  and  in 
Eraser's  Magazine  for  October,  1881.  Cap- 
tain Wright's  daughter  Philippa  m.  Chaeles 
Evelyn,  Esq.,  and  their  son,  Sir  Hugh 
Evelyn,  who  d.  in  1848,  was  the  last  baronet 
in  that  family.  Sir  Hugh's  sister,  Susanna 
Peideaux,  m.  at  St.  James's  Church,  West- 
minster, CO.  Middlesex,  21st  February,  1878, 
John  Elwoethy  FoETtrNATUS  Weight, 
lieutenant  E.N.,  and  had  issue,  four  daugh- 
ters and  two  sons,  one  of  whom, 

John  Faithful  Foetescue  Weight, 
lieutenant  R.M.,  was  h.  31st  July,  1786  ;  m. 
3rd  February,  ]  822,  Louisa  Felicia  (who  was 
I.  27th  October,  1799,  and  d.  1st  February, 
1875),  daughter  of  John  Liardet,  Esq.,  a 
major  in  the  army  (who  d.  of  fever  while 
serving  at  Gibraltar),  by  Perpetue  Catherine 
de  Paul  de  Lamanon  d'Albe,  his  wife  (daugh- 
ter of  the  Due  de  Lamanon  d'Albe,  whose 
estates,  at  the  time  of  the  Revolution  in 
France,  were  at  Provance,  and  whose  pedigree 
could  be  traced  from  the  foundation  of  Rome. 
The  name  in  Italian  and  Spanish  is  Alva, 
and  Albe  in  French,  as  it  now  stands)  ;  and 
brother  of  Captain  Francis  Liardet,  R.N., 
who  was  6.  at  Chelsea,  co.  Middlesex,  14th 
June,  1798.  Lieutenant  Wright  entered  the 
Navy  14th  June,  1809 ;  in  the  following  year 
joined  the  "  Belvidera,"  and  on  the  occasion 
of  that  vessel's  celebrated  escape  from  a 
powerful  squadron  under  Commodore  Kod- 
gers,  in  North  American  waters,  was  slightly 
wounded,  he  being  then  midshipman.  After 
serving  in  several  other  vessels,  and  seeing 
much  active  service,  we  find  Mr.  Liardet 
evincing  a  conspicuous  degree  of  bravery, 
skill,  and  perseverance  in  the  suppression  of 
piracy,  and  in  the  performance  of  those 
duties  received  two  severe  gun-shot  wounds, 
long  before  his  recovery  from  which,  he  re- 
sumed the  active  duties  of  his  profession. 
As  a  reward  for  these  services,  he  was  pro- 


moted to  the  rank  of  lieutenant  18th  March, 
1824,  and  appointed  to  the  command  of  the 
schooner  "  Lion,"  in  which  vessel  he  suc- 
ceeded in  destroying  several  piratical  esta- 
blishments on  the  coast  of  Cuba,  capturing 
nine  piratical  vessels.  He  attained  the  rank 
of  commander  28th  June,  1838,  and  was 
appointed  to  the  second-captaincy  of  the 
"Powerful"  84,  Captain  afterwards  Sir 
Charles  Napier,  in  which  vessel  he  assisted, 
during  the  war  in  Syria,  in  the  bombard- 
ment of  St.  Jean  d'Acre,  for  which  services 
he  was  promoted  to  post-rank  4th  November, 
1840,  and  the  following  year  retired  on  half- 
pay.  On  several  occasions  this  officer  dis- 
tinguished himself  by  saving  life  at  sea,  and 
his  bravery  was  rewarded  by  medallions  from 
the  Royal  Humane  Society,  besides  which  he 
has  received  several  war  decorations.  He 
was  one  of  the  captains  of  Greenwich  Hos- 
pital when  he  died,  and  that  institution  re- 
spected his  meniory  by  placing  a  marble  bust 
of  him  in  the  "  Painted  Hall."  His  brother, 
William  Liardet,  was  a  lieutenant  R.N.,  h. 
29th  September,  1794 ;  entered  the  Navy 
22nd  November,  1806  ;  and  in  the  following 
year,  on  board  the  "Redwing,"  took  part  in 
a  very  spirited  action  with  a  division  of 
Spanish  gun-boats  and  several  batteries  near 
Cabritta  Point,  and  a  little  later  he  was  taken 
prisoner.  He  rejoined  the  "  Redwing  "  in 
1813,  and  had  charge  of  a  cutter  which 
assisted  in  cutting  out  a  well-protected  con- 
voy at  Morjean.  The  same  year  he  served  in 
a  brilliant  attack  on  the  batteries  at  Cassis, 
where  the  British  succeeded  in  capturing 
two  heavy  gun-boats  and  26  vessels  laden 
with  merchandise,  two  of  which  were  brought 
out  by  Mr.  Liardet  himself.  He  proved 
instrumental  to  the  capture  of  a  large 
number  of  merchantmen  and  privateers 
during  the  whole  term  of  his  attachment  to 
the  "  Redwing,"  and  was  engaged  in  nearly 
every  boat  and  battery  affair  in  which  that 
vessel  was  concerned.  Including  the  occa- 
sion above  alluded  to,  he  was  twice  taken 
prisoner  by  the  enemy,  although  in  both 
instances  he  was  speedily  released.  After 
serving  in  several  other  ships,  lastly,  as 
first-lieutenant  on  board  the  "  Perseus," 
he  was  placed  in  charge  of  a  station  in 
the  Coast  Guard,  29th  September,  1846.

About  ten  miles  due  west  from  Aberdeen 
is  the  Loch  of  Skene,  a  considerable  sheet  of 
water,  and  on  the  north   side  of  it  extends 


the  ancient  barony  of  Skene,  co-extensive 
with  the  more  modern  parish  of  the  same 
name.     It  is  bounded  on  the  north  by  the 


BURKE'S   COLONIAL   GENTRY.

parishes  of  Kinellar  and  Kintore,  on  the 
west  by  the  parishes  of  Kinnernie,  now 
annexed  to  Clunie  and  Echt,  and  on  the  east 
by  the  freedom  lands  of  Aberdeen.  The 
barony  consisted  of  two  distinct  portions. 
On  the  western  or  larger  portion  was  situated 
the  old  tower  of  Skene,  said  by  tradition  to 
be  the  first  built  stone  house  in  Mar.  It  now 
forms  the  west  wing  of  the  house  of  Skene. 
On  Easter  Skene  was  the  Church  of  Skene, 
now  a  parish  church,  but  formerly  a  vicarage 
dependent  upon  the  mother  church  of  Kin- 
tell.  These  lands  were  erected  into  a  barony 
by  King  Robeet  Beuce  in  the  year  1317, 
and  have  from  time  immemorial  been  in  the 
possession  of  the  baronial  family  of  Skene  of 
Skene. 

The  traditionary  origin  of  the  family  is 
thus  given  by  Mr.  Alexander  Skene,  in  1678  : 
"  Ane  old  tradition  there  is  that  the  tribe 
and  family  of  Skene  had  their  origin  from 
Struan  Robertson  of  Athole,  and  they  from 
M'Donald,  and  that  our  first  author  was  a  son 
of  the  Laird  of  Struans,  and  had  his  first 
donation  immediately  from  tlie  king,  for 
killing  ane  devouring  wolf  in  the  forest 
near  the  freedom  land  of  Aberdeen,  for 
which  he  got  the  confirmation  of  East  and 
Wester  Skene  to  the  freedom  of  Aberdeen, 
and  that  with  ane  coat  of  arms  helmed  and 
flurished  relating  to  the  valorous  act,  viz., 
three  wolfs'  heads  erazed  upon  the  points  of 
three  skeens,  triumphant  in  a  field  of  gules ; 
above  the  helmet  ane  naked  hand  holding 
a  laurel  branch  with  this  motto,  '  Virtutis 
Regia  merces,'  which  arms  are  registered  in 
the  booke  of  Heraldry.  Under  the  reign 
of  what  king  that  happened  I  am  not  cer- 
tainly informed,  but  sure  I  am  that  there  was 
lately  in  the  charter  chest  of  the  House  of 
Skene  a  restauratioufrom  a  forfauture  granted 
by  K.  W.  the  Lion.     This  is  now  amissing." 

Sir  Greorge  Mackenzie,  in  his  Science  of 
Heraldry,  published  two  years  after,  in 
1680,  gives  the  same  account.  He  says:  — 
"  Some  also  derive  their  names,  as  well  as 
their  arms,  from  some  considerable  action, 
and  thus  a  second  son  of  Struan  Robertson, 
for  killing  of  a  wolf  in  Stocket  Foi-rest  by  a 
durk  in  the  king's  presence,  got  the  name  of 
Skene,  which  signifies  a  durk  in  Irish,  and 
three  durk  points  in  pale  for  his  armes." 
Another  manuscript,  written  not  very  long 
after,  gives  the  king's  name  as  "  Malcolm 
Kenmore."  But  the  first  appearance  of  the 
name  of  Skene  in  any  authentic  document  is 
in  1296,  when  "  Johan  de  Skene  del  Counte 
de  Edneburgh,"  and  Johan  de  Skene,  Patrick 
de  Skene  del  Counte  de  Aberdene,  did  homage 
to  King  Edward  the  First  (Calendar  of 
Documents  relating  to  Scotland,  pp.  203- 
208).  The  seals  attached  to  these  homages 
are  preserved,  and  show  that  Johan  de 
Skene  del  Counte  de  Edneburgh,  and  del 
Counte  de  Aberdene,  was  the  same  person. 

On  the  death  of  the  last  Laird  of  Skene, 
in  1827,  the  succession  to  his  estates  fell, 
under  the  deed  of  entail  executed  by  his 
great  grand  uncle,  Major  George  Skene,  of 
Caraldstone,  and  by  his  elder  brothei-,  George 


Skene  of  Skene,  to  his  nephew  James,  Earl 
Fife,  while  the  male  representation  of  the 
family  devolved  upon  the  Skenes  of  Hal- 
yards, in  Fife.  James,  5th  Earl  Fife,  who 
succeeded  his  uncle  (-Itli  Earl)  in  1857,  was 
in  the  same  year  created  a  British  Peer,  by 
the  title  of  Baron  Skene  of  Skene. 

James  Skene,  in  Bandodle,  afterwards  of 
Wester  Corse  and  Ramore,  second  son  of 
Alexander  IX.,  of  Skene,  by  "  Lord  Forbes' 
daughter,"  was  the  first  of  the  sons  of  the 
family  who  bore  the  designation  of  "  in  Ban- 
dodle," the  Tanistry  lands  having  been 
acquired  by  his  father.  Prior  to  the  16th 
century  there  was  little  outlet  for  the  sons  of 
such  lamilies  except  to  enter  the  Church,  or 
to  have  their  names  inscribed  on  the  rental 
roll  as  kindlie  tenants  of  some  outlying  farm 
(hence  the  term  Tanistry),  which  their  de- 
scendants, if  the  laird  was  embarrassed, 
acquired  in  property,  or  they  descended  to 
the  condition  of  ordinary  farmers.  In  1538, 
James  Skene  in  Bandodle  appears  as  uncle 
and  curator  to  Alexander  Skene  of  that  ilk, 
and  in  1543  he  is  infeft  in  the  sunny  third 
of  the  lands  of  Blackball,  He  m.  Janet 
Lumsden,  daughter  of  Lumsden  of  Cushney, 
and  by  her  had  ten  sons,  viz.,

1575  settled  in  Edinburgh,  and  was 
physician  to  James  VI.  of  Scotland  ; 
d.  s.p.

("  Mr."  was  a  designation  confined  at  that 
time  exclusively  to  Masters  of  Arts.)  James 
Skene  in  Bandodle  led  his  nephew's  retainers 
to  the  battle  of  Pinkie,  and  was  slain  there 
in  1547.     His  4th  son, 

Robert  Skene,  of  Belhelvie,  was,  on  lat 
October,  1571,  admitted  as  a  burgess  of 
Aberdeen.  In  1572  he  appears  amongst  the 
absentees  in  the  burgess  roll,  his  reason  being 
tliat  he  had  now  settled  in  Belhelvie. 
Through  the  centre  of  the  barony  of  Bel- 
helvie a  stream  flows  through  a  ravine  past 
the  present  Belhelvie  Lodge.  It  rises  in 
the  farm  of  Craigies,  and  passes  through 
Whytecairns,  Overhill,  Old  Overtown,  Upper 
Potterton,  Mylne  of  Potterton,  and  Mylne- 
den,  where  it  falls  into  the  sea,  and  south 
of  Mylneden  along  the  shore  were  the 
farms  of  Fife  and  Blackdog.  These  farms, 
with  the  exception  of  Craigies,  were  the 
possessions  of  the  Skenes  in  Belhelvie.  The 
Mylne  of  Potterton,  with  Overhill  and  Old 
Overtown,  was  then  known  as  the  Overmylne, 
and  Mylneden  as  the  Nether  Mylne.  Robert 
Skene  possessed  the  former.  He  was  twice 
married.  By  his  1st  wife,  a  daughter  of 
David  Adie,  merchant,  burgess  of  Aberdeen,

*  Thomas  Skene  of  Blackdog  succeeded 
Bailie  Skene  of  the  Auldtown,  who  was  his 
second  cousin,  and  got  a  Bible,  known  as  tlie 
"  Dyce  Bible,"  from  him.  This  Bible,  now 
in  the  possession  of  Thomas  Skene,  of  Marnoo, 
Victoria,  was  printed  in  1599,  and  contains 
records  of  the  Dyce  branch  of  the  family 
dating  as  far  back  as  1630.  William  Forbes 
Skene,  Esq.,  LL.D.,  D.C.L.,  of  Rubislaw,  Her 
Majesty's  historiographer  for  Scotland,  <&c., 
erroneously  attributes  the  MS.  in  this  Bible  to 
Jon  Skene,  laird  of  Dyce  1704-1729,  and  liis 
mother,  Anna  Johnston  of  Kaskiben,  whereas 
it  was  written  by  Patrick  Skene,  sixth  son  of 
Alexander  Skene,  laird  of  Dyce  1665-1704, 
and  brother  to  the  Jon  Skene  before  men- 
tioned, a  portion  of  it  being  a  "  Copey  of 
Liens,"  written  by  the  said  Jon  Skene  and 
the  said  Anna  Johnston.  It  was  Patrick,  b. 
1674,  and  not  Jon,  who  went  to  Lublin,  in 
Poland,  in  1690,  and  who  recorded  his  mar- 
riage, and  various  other  particulars  of  his  life 
there,  in  the  Bible.

He  was  M.P.  for  Cornwall  1651,  was  a  com- 
mander in  the  civil  wars,  and  a  prominent

Not  only  tradition,  but  documentary  and 
other  evidence,  leads  to  the  conclusion  that 
John  Bridge  (the  ancestor  of  the  Bridge 
family  in  America,  settled  there  since  1632) 


was  descended  from  the  same  stock  as  the 
family  of  which  we  treat,  and  near  of  kin  to 
William  Bridge,  the  celebrated  Pui-itan  di- 
vine of   Norwich,  and  a  prominent  member

being  a  fellow-townsman  of  Jolm  Havwood, 
and,  like  him,  interested  in  the  intellectual, 
moral,  and  religious  welfare  of  the  infant

in  the  foundation  of  what  has  now  become 
the  celebrated  Harvard  University  at  Cam- 
bridge, Mass.  The  late  General  Garfield, 
president  of  the  United  States,  is  included  in 
the  genealogy  of  this  family,  members  of  the 
same  having  held  divers  important  posts 
under  the  United  States  Government.

o'Day  River,  receiving  from  Government  grants  of  1,000  and  1,600  acres, 
and  afterwards  purchased  additional  blocks. 


Hineasc. 


It  is  recorded  that  the  family  of  Legge 
came  originally  from  Venice,  wlaere  it  was 
noble  and  wealthy,  in  the  10th  century,  the 
name  then  being  De  la  Lega. 

The  branch  from  which  the  present  family 


is  descended  settled  at  Legges,  near  Tun- 
bridge,  CO.  Xent,  England,  about  the  12th 
century. 

A  member  of  the  family,  Thomas  Legge. 
served   the  office  of   sheriff   for  the  city

London  in  1343,  and  was  lord  mayor  in  the 
years  1346  and  1353.  In  1338,  this  opulent 
citizen  lent  Edwaed  III  £300  towards 
carrying  on  the  war  with  Fr/ince,  which  was 
a  very  cousideruble  sum  in  those  days,  and 
more  than  any  other  citizen  ailvanced,  except 
the  lord  mayor  and  Simon  de  Frauncis,  who 
each  lent  £800  in  the  ensuing  year.  Alder- 
man Legge  is  staled  to  have  m.  Lady  Eliza- 
beth Beauchamp,  daughter  of  Thomas,  Earl 
of  Warwick;  he  had  two  sons,  Simon,  his 
heir,  and  John,  knight  of  the  shire  for  Surri-y, 
1 379,  beheaded  by  Wat  Tyler's  rebels.  From 
Simon,  the  elder  son,  descended 

William  Legge,  who  wc  nt  to  Ireland  in 
the  15th  century,  and  settled  in  co.  Tipperary, 
where  this  branch  rf  the  family  continued  to 
reside  until  the  family  estates  were  broken 
up  and  sold  by  Mr.  R.  V.  Legge's  father  in 
the  beginning  of  tlie  present  century.  During 
the  last  century  the  family  se:its  in  co.  Tip- 
perary were  Grarrane  and  Ballinderry,  and 
also  a  large  estate  in  England,  called  Pinner, 
which  was,  however,  bequeathed  to  the  second 
Earl  of  Dartmouth  by  Mr.  R.  V.  Legge's 
great  grand-uncle.  Major  Francis  Legge, 
governor  of  Nora  Scotia.  William  Legge  m. 
Anne,  only  daughter  of  John,  son  of  Miles, 
Lord  Bermingham.  He  d.  at  the  advanced 
age  of  90,  and  was  *.  by  his  son, 

Edwaed  Legge,  vice-president  of  Munster 
during  the  lieutenancy  of  his  kinsman,  Sir 
Charles  Blount,  Lorcl  Mountjoy,  the  com- 
panion of  Walter  Raleiph.  This  gentleman 
m.  Mary,  daughter  of  Percy  Walsh,  Esq.  of 
Moyvalley,  and  had  six  sons  and  seven 
daughters.  From  one  of  these  sons  the  pre- 
sent Mr.  R.  V.  Legge  is  supposed  to  be 
descended.  The  eldest  son,  Colonel  William 
Legge,  was  brought  out  of  Ii-eland  by  his 
godfather,  Henry  Danvers,  Earl  of  Dauby, 
and  sent  by  him  to  serve  as  a  volunteer  under 
G-u.stavus  Adolphus  of  Sweden ;  and  he 
fought  afterwards  under  Prince  Maurice  of 
Orange,  in  the  Low  Countries.  On  his  return 
to  England,  he  was  first  constituted  keeper 
of  the  king's  wardrobe,  during  life  ;  and  made, 
soon  after,  groom  of  the  bedchamber.  Colonel 
Legge,  during  the  Civil  Wars,  became  emi- 
nently distinguished  by  his  faithful  attach- 
ment to  Chaeles  I,  and  his  persevering 
exertions  in  the  royal  cause,  before  and  after 
the  death  of  the  king.  At  the  battle  of 
Worcester  he  was  wounded  and  taken  prisoner, 


and  would  have  been  executed,  if  his  wife 
had  not  contrifed  his  escape  from  Coventry 
gaol  in  her  own  clothes.  lie  was  high  in 
favour  after  the  Restoration,  and  enjoyed 
several  lucrative  and  honourable  ollices, 
amongst  them  the  governorship  of  Oxford. 
From  him  is  descended  the  Earl  of  Dartmouth 
(see  Burke's  Feerafji).

Hineage. 


Tbe  family  of  Acland  is  one  of  great  an- 
tiquity. The  pedigree  recorded  in  the  Visit- 
ation of  Devon,  A.D.  1620,  commences  with 
Baldwin  Eccelin,  whose  sou,  Baldwin 
AcALEN,  of  Acalen,  in  the  parish  of  Land 
Key,  Devon,  was  living  temp.  Hknet  III, 
hut  the  antiquity  of  the  family  is  also  shown 
by  a  deed  in  Pole's  MS.  Deeds  and  Charters, 
in  which  mention  is  made  of  Hugh  de 
Acalen,  temp.  Heney  II.  The  visitation 
pedigree  carries  down  the  family  link  by  link 
to  Hugh  Acland,  of  Acland,  living  at  the 
time  the  visitation  was  made.  He  was  eldest 
son  of  John  Akeland,  of  Akeland,  by  Mar- 
garet, his  wife,  daughter  and  co-heiress  of 
Hugh  RadclifEe,  of  Stepney,  and  elder  brother 
of  Sir  John  Aclaud,  tnt.  of  Columb  John, 
high  sheriir  of  Devon  in  1608.  The  afore- 
said 

Hugh  Acland,  of  Acland,  living  in  1620,

Monke,  Esq.  of  Potlieridge  (aunt  to  General

of  Wooleigh,  co.  Devon,  and  by  her  (who

cent, Bart.)  he  had  issue,  John,  his  heir; 
Elizabeth,  m.  to  Anthony  Vincent,  Esq.  of 
Stoke  d'Abernon;  and  Anne,  d.  unm.  Sir 
Arthur  d.  1614,  and  was  s.  by  his  son, 

I.  John  Acland,  Esq.,  was  created  a 
baronet,  1st  March,  1614 — 5 ;  but  the  letters 
patent  having  been  destroyed  during  the  civil 
wars,  new  ones  were  granted  in  1677,  with  a 
special  clause  of  precedence  from  the  date  of 
the  first  letters.  Sir  John  was  distinguished 
by  his  zealous  devotion  to  the  cause  of 
royalty ;  and  at  one  time  the  garrison  of 
Columb  John  was  the  only  armed  force  (ac- 
cording to  Lord  Clarendon)  which  Chablbs  I 
had  in  the  whole  county  of  Devon.  He  m. 
Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Sir  Francis  Vincent,

Mr.  Thomson  arrived  in  the  colony  of  New  Zealand,  as  early  as  1856,  from 
the  Straits  Settlements,  where  he  had  spent  some  eighteen  years,  and  where 
he  had  been  for  a  long  period  chief  surveyor.  He  also  acted  there  as  a  civil 
engineer,  and  in  that  capacity  constructed  the  Horsburgh  Lighthouse,  which 
gained  him  a  high  reputation.  This  lighthouse,  which  was  begun  in  May, 
1850,  and  completed  in  July,  1851,  is  erected  on  the  rock  of  Pedra  Branca,  in 
the  China  seas.  On  account  of  the  Indian  climate  proving  unsuitable  to  him, 
Mr.  Thomson  removed  to  New  Zealand,  where  he  landed  in  Auckland,  and, 
proceeding  south,  arrived  at  Otago,  of  which  province  he  accepted  the  post  of 
chief  surveyor,  and  his  labours  in  that  capacity  led,  in  no  small  degree,  to  the 
opening  up  of  the  province — first  to  the  squatter,  and  afterwards  to  the 
agriculturist.  He  held,  for  many  years,  the  joint  offices  of  chief  surveyor, 
chief  commissioner  of  Crown  lands,  and  provincial  engineer  of  Otago,  in  which 
last  capacity  he  directed  the  work  of  the  removal  of  Bell's  Hill,  Dunedin.  He 
was  appointed  surveyor-general  of  the  colony  of  New  Zealand,  in  May,  1876, 
from  which  office  he  retired  in  1879,  when  he  settled  in  Southland,  and  on 
one  of  his  properties,  near  Invercargill,  built  the  mansion  of  Lennel.  He  was 
for  a  time  mayor  of  Gladstone,  after  his  retirement  from  the  surveyor-general- 
ship, and,  in  1881,  unsuccessfully  contested  the  representation  of  ilitaura  in 
parliament.  He  was  president  of  the  Southland  Institute,  since  its  institution, 
the  author  of  several  books,  and   the  translator  of  Hakarit  AhduUa  from  the

home  in  New  Zealand.  They  were  among  the  pioneers  of  the  Canterbuiy 
settlement. 

Hfncaue. 


Mr.  H.  J".  Washbourn  probably  belongs  to 
the  younger  oranch  of  the  Washbournes  of 
Washbourne,  the  eLler  branch  of  which  is 
represented  by  the  Money-Kyrles  of  Homme 
House,  Much  Marcle,  co.  Hereford  (see 
Burke's  Landed  Oentri/).  The  tradition  is 
that  during  the  Civil  Wars  the  family  sacri- 
ficed all  "  save  honour "  in  the  Stuarts' 
cause.  Nash  observes  of  Little  Washbourne, 
anciently  Wasseborne — "  It  is  sometimes 
called     Knight's    Washbourne,     from     the 


knightly  character  of  the  family  who  take 
their  surname  from  thence."  'This  village 
and  that  of  Grreat  Washboiu'ne  were  once 
their  properly.  Thomas  Washbourne,  D.D., 
who  was  incumbent  of  the  church  of  St. 
Mary-de-Lode,  Q-loucester,  was  a  member  of 
the  same  family.  He  published  a  volume  of 
poems,  still  extant,  and  on  the  occasion  of 
the  Restoration  preached  a  sermon  in  rhe 
cathedral  at  Glovicester  to  commemorate  the 
event.

Hintagc, 


Crawford,  in  bis  History  of  Renfrewshire, 
gays,  "  This  very  ancient  family  is  descended 
from  the  Macduifs,  Thanes,  or  Earls  of  Fife 
(rendered  illustrious  by  tradition  as  having 
slain  Macbeth,  and  restored  the  rightful 
sovereign  to  the  throne  of  Scotland)  ;  one  of 
■whom,  having  had  a  son  named  Ralph,  vfho 
obtained  a  grant  of  lands  in  Renfrewshire,  he 
called  them  after  himself  (as  was  common  in 
those  days),  Ralphstoune,  and  this,  softened 
down  in  time  to  Ralston,  became  the  family 
name."  He  refers  to  charters,  &c.,  wherein 
the  family  are  named  as  early  as  1272  and 
1346. 

Robertson,  in  his  History  of  Ayrshire, 
says  : — The  iirst  of  them,  however,  I  shall 
begin  with,  is, 

John  db  Ealstoune,  who  flourished  in 
the  reign  of  James  the  SECOifD  of  Scotland, 
and  who  rose  to  the  highest  honours  of  the 
church  and  state.  In  1444,  he  was  made 
lord  keeper  of  the  privy  seal;  in  1448,  lord 
bishop  of  Dunkeld;  and  in  1449,  lord 
high  treasurer.  He  was  sent  the  same  year 
ambassador  to  the  English  court ;  and  again 
in  1452  (see  Keith's  Catalogue  of  Scottish 
Bishops),  where  he  calls  him  the  representa- 
tive of  a  most  ancient  family  of  the  same 
designation  in  the  shire  of  Renfrew.  From 
this  John  de  Ralstoune  descended,  according 
to  tradition, 

Matthew   Ralston,  Esq ,  of   Hampden, 


Deddiugton,  Tasmania,  h.  in  co.  Wigton, 
Scotland ;  emigrated,  when  about  17  years  of 
age,  with  his  parents,  to  I'asmania,  and  after 
a  few  years  took  up  land  on  the  Nile  River, 
about  12  miles  from  Evandale,  and  there 
built  his  residence  of  Hampden,  where  hia 
family  were  all  born.  (His  father  also  took 
up  land  near  Evandale,  and  built  liis  resi-

Htntacte. 


The  nobility  of  the  Holy  Koman  Empire 
■was  conferred  on  the  ancient  and  distin- 
guished family  of  Stieglitz  by  patent  from 
Joseph  II,  Emperor  of  Germany  and 
Austria,  bearing  date,  at  Vienna,  15th  De- 
cember, 1765.  The  family,  connected  in 
ancient  times  with  the  civil  and  military 
service  of  Saxony,  was  originally  from  Bo- 
hemia, where,  among  the  archives  of  the  city 
of  Pilsen,  it  is  recorded  that,  during  many 
centuries,  several  members  were  raised  to  the 
first  dignities  of  the  State,  and  one  especially, 
named  Bartholomaeus,  was,  by  His  Imperial 
Majesty  Kudolph  II,  favoured  with  par- 
ticular consideration. 

A  tradition  reports  that  this  Bartholomaeus 
was  granted  hereditary  nobility  in  1583  by 
the  Emperor  Eudolph  II  as  Barthol.  Stieg- 
litz von  Czenkow  (a  place  not  far  from 
Pilsen),  and  that  his  descendants,  being  per- 
secuted on  account  of  their  following  the 
doctrine  of  Lutlier,  had  to  leave  their  estates, 
and  to  proceed  to  Saxony  without  title  or 
wealth. 

In  the  13th  and  1-tth  centuries  lived  a 
family  of  Stieglitz  (also  spelt  Stiglitz,  Steg- 
litz)  on  their  estates  in  Pommerland  and 
Brandenburgh,  the  traces  of  which  disappear 
in  the  14th  century,  just  at  the  time  wlien 
we  read  for  the  first  time  of  a  family  of  the 
same  name  resident  in  and  near  Pilsen. 

The  two  members  of  the  family  on  whom 


hereditary  titles  were  conferred  by  the 
Emperor  Joseph  II,  15th  December,  1765, 
were  Cheistiax  Lfdwig  (i.e.,  Lewis),  mem- 
ber of  the  High  Court  of  Justice  at  Leipzig, 
and  "Wilhelm  (i.e.,  William)  Ludwig,  colonel 
of  a  regiment  in  the  service  of  the  Elector  of 
Saxony ;  the  former  being  the  ancestor  of 
the  Irish-Australian  branch  of  the  family, 
and  the  latter  of  the  German  branch,  which 
is  still  existing  in  Germany,  the  members  of 
which  have  been  mostly  in  the  royal  Saxon 
civU  or  military  service,  one  having  been  a 
general  in  the  Prussian-Austrian  War  in 
1866.  The  mother  of  the  celebrated  Austrian 
Eield-Marshal  Baron  Gablenz  was  also  a 
member  of  this  branch. 

Christian  Ludwig,  Baeon  von  Stieg- 
litz, the  above  mentioned,  m.  C.  F.  Eichter, 
and  had  issue,  five  sons,  viz., 

I.  Christian  Ludwig,  b.  1756  ;  m.  A.  L. 
Eeinhard ;  and  d.  in  1836.  His  de- 
scendants are  now  living  in  Saxony 
and  Germany. 

II.  Eriedrich  Ludwig,  b.  1758;  d. 
1777. 

III.  Caspar  Ludwig,  b.  1760;  m.  C.

The  family  of  Currie  was  seated  at  Dunse, 
Berwickshire,  Scotland,  from  1570  to  1765, 
and  this  family  claims  descent  from  a  cadet  of 
Currie  of  that  ilk,  Annandale.  The  elder 
line  merged  in  the  Johnstons  of  Annandale 
by  the  marriage  of  its  heiress  in  1550. 

Sir  Walter  de  Currie  swore  allegiance  to 
Edwaed  1,  129G.  Adam  de  Currie  assisted 
Wallace  Sanquhar.  Piers  de  Currie,  cele- 
brated in  Si  ottish  ballad  and  in  ancient  Norse 
chronicles   for  bis   heroic   achievements   and 


death  fighting  against  Haco  at  the  battle  of 
Largs  in  1263. 

About  the  middle  of  the  seventeenth  cen- 
tury, Hartwoodburn,  Selkirkshire,  became 
the  property  of  the  Currors  or  Curries,  and 
in  1713  it  was  possessed  by  George  Currie, 
from  whom  the  present  J.  L.  Currie,  Esq.,  is 
said  to  descend. 

In  1690  the  name  was  spelt  Currier,  other 
spellings  of  the  name  being  Corry,  Corrie, 
Curry,  Curror,  and  Currie.

umberland,  to  order  tlie  release  of  the  Scots 
merchants  and  their  goods,  lately  wrecked  in 
a  ship  of  Henry  Pierson's,  on  the  coast  of 
Werkworth,  last  Lent,  and  said  to  be  in  his  (the 
earl's)  custody,  that  the  truce  be  not  broken." 

In  1425,  the  head  of  the  family,  John  de 
Pbeisson,  was  burgess  of  Linlithgow,  and 
servitor*  {generosus)  to  the  king,  James  I,  of 
Scotland.  A  payment  out  of  the  customs  of 
Linlithgow  is  ordered  to  him  "  by  the  king's 
ring,  to  the  auditors."  In  1450,  his  eldest 
son,  Thomas,  held  lands  at  Blackness,  Eister 
Liff,  Forfarshire,  at  whose  death,  in  1466, 
sasine  of  these  lands  (which  now  form  part  of 
the  west-end  of  Dundee)  was  granted  to  his 
two  daughters,  Mariota  and  Sybilla  Persoun. 

Henry,  brother  of  John  de  Perisson,  was 
bailie  of  Linlithgow,  1434.  His  son,  Thomas 
Peresone,  was  one  of  the  clerks  of  the  Chapel 
Royal,  Edinburgh,  1467.  John  Person  was 
procurator  for  the  Abbot  of  Culross  in  1489 
in  all  places  ]5crtaining  to  that  Abbey,  in  the 
burgh  of  Dunfermline,  and  Sir  Andro  Pierson 
was  one  of  the  monks  of  the  Abbey  of  Dun- 
fermline at  that  date  (see  Eoss's  Old  Dun- 
fermline). 

In  1506,  the  nephew  of  Thomas  Peirson, 
of  Blackness,  servitor  {armiger)  to  George 
(Hepburn) ,t  "  Abbas  de  Arbroath,"  had  a 
charter  of  "  ly  Rude  with  pertinents  in  ly 
Almory  de  Arbroath."  The  chartulary  of 
the  abbey  contains  several  charters,  granting 
lands  to  Thomas  Peirson  and  his  successors. 
A  grant  was  made,  1st  June,  1506,  to  Thomas 
PlEESON,  "  et  Mariote,  Sponse  sue  Moderne  " 
(present  or  second  wife),  "  dimidiam  tercie 
partis  ville  nostre  de  Soutbterre."  Thomas 
Peirson  married,  as  his  second  wife,  his 
cousin,  Mariota,  daughter  and  co-)ieiress 
(with  her  sister,  Sybilla)  of  Thomas  of  Black- 
ness. Thomas  and  Mariota  Persoun,  on  the 
13th  October,  1508,  obtained  a  grant  of  lands 
of  Kepty  (now  part  of  Arbroath,  on  which  the 
railway  station  is  placed),  Arbroath,  which, 
with  the  other  grants,  formed  the  nucleus 
of  the  future  property  of  Lochlands.  Thomas 
Peirsone,  m.  thirdly,  Margareta  Schort  (who 
survived  her  husband,  and  afterwards  m. 
Andrew  Christeson,  who  also  held  land  from 
the  abbey  of  Arbroath),  and,  dying  before 
1524,  left  issue,

Arbroath,  who  signed  as  a  witness  to

of  Kepty,  Smiddie  Croft,  and

Lochlands,  as  part  of  Cairny.  He 
was  of  Cairny  before  1560.  In 
1599  he  disponed  that  part  of  the 
lands  of  Cairny  called  Lochlands, 
to  his  nephew,  Thomas  Pierson,

"  Mr."  Alexander,  was  de- 
signated of  Balmadies, 
1614,  and  in  1624  a  feu-

lands  and  barony  of 
Balmadies,  or  Auchter-

to  him  and  his  wife, 
Isobel  Beton,  of  the

Lord  Drummond.  The  arms  of  Pearson  and 
Drummond  are  inlaid  together  within  a 
border  on  an  oak  slab  fixed  to  one  of  the 
stalls  of  Dunblane  Cathedral.  These  stalls 
are  of  black  oak,  most  elaborately  carved. 
They  are  the  only  vestiges  of  ancient  eccle- 
siastical furniture  existing  in  any  place  of 
Presbyterian  worship  in  Scotland.  The  arms 
of  Dean  Pearson  still  exist,  sculptured  in 
stone,  on  the  dean's  house,  Dunblane.  The 
Dunblane  issue  of  the  National  Covenant  of 
Scotland  of  1638,  containing  mostly  signa- 
tures of  the  neighbouring  heritors,  following 
those  of  Rothes,  Lindsay,  and  Montrose, 
has  been  preserved  in  this  family  from  the 
time  of  Dean  Pearson.  On  the  9th  Novem- 
ber, 1633,  "  Mr."  James  Peirsoune,  minister, 
and  dean  of  Dunblane,  and  Jean  Drummond, 
his  spouse,  obtained  a  charter  under  the 
Great  Seal,  of  the  barony  of  Kippenross, 
"  which  lands  belonged  before,  heritably,  to 
Sir  James  Cheisholme,  of  Cromlix,*  holden 
by  him  immediately  of  the  Crown,  and  which 
were  purely  and  simply  resigned  by  staff 
and  baton,  in  the  hands  of  the  lords  com- 
missioners of  exchequer,  as  in  the  hands  of 
the  king,  at  Edinburgh,  on  the  9th  Novem- 
ber, 1633,  in  favour  of,  and  for  new  heritable 
infeftment  to,  the  said  James  Peirsoune  and 
Jeane  Drummond,  his  spouse,  as  of  new,  is 
hereby  given ;  to  be  holden  of  the  king  and 
his  successors  in  fee,  heritage,  and  free 
barony  for  ever,  for  the  rights  and  services 
due  and  wont."+  On  the  5th  November, 
1448,  there  is  a  record  of  a  charter  by 
Jonet  of  Einross,  of  Kippenross.  Kippen- 
ross had  been  created  a  barony,  7th  March, 
1507,  by  charter  of  confirmation  under  the 

by  a  mullet  in  place  of  a  cinquefoil,  and  with 
the  motto  of  the  Forfarshire  Piersons — Dum 
spiro  spero.  They  are  sculptured  in  stone 
over  the  entrance  to  the  tower  of  Peffermylue 
House,  in  which  Mary,  Queen  of  Scots,  had 
sometimes  resided  when  at  Craigmillar. 

*  Helen,  daughter  of  Sir  James  Cheis- 
holme, of  Cromlix,  had  married  David,  elder 
brother  of  Jean  Drummond,  who  is  styled 
Ladie  Kippenross  in  the  old  records,  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  custom  of  the  time.

Dean  Pearson  built  a  house  over  the  ancient 
tower  of  Kippenross,  styled  the  "  Newe 
house  of  Kippenross,"  in  1646.  He  was

of  Cameron  of  Lochiel's  "very  sad  and 
unwarrantable  mistake,"  as  recorded 
by  Fountainhall  in  his  Sistorical 
Observations.  During  the  Argyle  Re- 
bellion in  1685,  "  Sir  Ewen  Cameron, 
of  Locky ell's  men,  throw  mistake  in 

not  understanding  the  word

postmaster-general,  and  under  pre- 
tence of  their  being  Argyle's  men 
(whether  the  mistake  was  innocent 
or  wilful  to  get  their  spoyll)  they 
kill  five  of  them,  viz.,  Pearson  of 
Kippencrosse,  Paul  Do(i)g  of  Bal- 
lingrue,  Linton  of  Pittendreich, 
Nap(i)er  of  Balquhaple,  &c.  Lochiell 
was  so  affected  at  this  melanclioly 
accident  that  he  could  speak  none 
for  some  moments,  and  never  was 
known  to  weep  but  on  this  occasion. 
At  Lochiell's  visit  to  the  Court  t« 
clear  his  character  in  person,  His 
Majesty  having  desired  him  to  relate 
the  particulars  of  their  late  expedi- 
tion against  Argyle,  he  did  it  in  few 
words,  and  in  the  most  modest  man- 
ner, and  carefully  avoyding  all  re- 
flections on  the  conduct  of  others,  he 
related  his  oun  missfortune  in  such 
terms  as  made  His  Majesty  say  that  he 
ought  rather   to    have    been    pityed

Hugh  Peabson,  of  Kippenross,  executed

took  great  interest  in  his  property,  and 
planted,  in  1742,  the  Beech  Walk,  along  the 
banks  of  Allan  Water,  reputed  to  be  the 
first  walk  of  the  kind  artificially  made  in 
Scotland  (see  Woods,  Forests  and  Ustates 
of  Perthshire,  Huntee).  The  surpassing 
beauty  of  the  property  is  attested  in  the 
Letters  of  Thomas  Erskine  of  Linlathen  (p. 
8) .  Erskine  spent  niucli  of  his  boyhood  there. 
At  Albano,  on  the  road  to   Eome,  he  noted

an  evergreen  oak  as  large  as  the  "  Kippenross 
Tree."  This  refers  to  the  sycamore,  acer- 
pseudo-platanus,  which  went  by  the  name  of 
the  "  Big  Tree  of  Kippenross,"  in  the  time  of 
Chaeles  II.  This  tree  was  planted  a.d. 
1400,  as  shown  by  some  old  estate  papers. 
Its  girth,  where  the   branches   separate,  was 

27  feet  4  inches  ;  and  the  branches  spread  to 
a  width  of  114  feet.  In  Loudon's  Arboretum 
et  Fructicetum  Britaimicmn,  this  sycamore 
is  stated  to  be  the  largest  of  its  kind  in 
Britain.  A  di-awing  of  it  (taken  before  it

with  Kippenross  to  the  adjoining  proprietor, 
John  Stirling  of  Kippendavie,  and  the  con- 
joined property  is  now  known  as  Kippen- 
davie. The  legal  arrangements  of  transfer 
were  completed  9th  February,  1781,  when 
"  John  Stii'ling  of  Kippendavie  was  seized  in 
the  barony  of  Kippenross  under  life-rent 
superiority  of  William  Pearson  of  Kippenross, 
of  parts  of  the  said  barony."  The  boundaries

]804,  James  Pearson  joined  the  army 
before  the  fortress  of  Bhurtpore.  In 
1805  he  served  witli  the  grand  army 
under  Lord  Lake,  in  pursuit  of 
Holkar,  and  subsequently  joined  the 
1st  battalion  I8th  Eegiment  before 
the  fortress  of  Callcnghur,  where  he 
■was  repeatedly  engaged  with  parties  of 
the  enemy.  In  the  expedition  to 
Java  against  the  Dutch,  in  1811,  he 
was  wounded  in  the  assault  of  Carnelis, 
and  became  entitled  to  the  Peninsula 
medal  with  Java  clasp.  In  recognition 
of  his  services  he  was  appointed 
adjutant  of  an  Amboynese  corps  raised 
from  tlie  prisoners  of  war.  In  1812, 
in  command  of  a  wing  of  the  newly- 
raised  corps,  he  joined  the  expedition 
to  Palembang,  and  was  engaged  with 
the  deposed  Sultan's  forces  in  a 
severe  action  in  which  the  commanding 
officer  was  killed.  In  1815-18  he 
served  in  Nepaul,  and  during  the 
insurrection  at  Cuttaok  had  a  detached 
command.  He  was  repeatedly  engaged 
with  the  insurgents,  and  for  his  con- 
duct received  the  thanks  of  the 
governor  -  general,  as  well  as  those 
of  the  general  commanding  the 
division.  In  1828  he  succeeded  as 
major  to  the  command  of  the  65th

Baronetage  is  the  only  one  extant  wliich  combines,  in  one  volume,  the  full 
genealogical  or  past,  as  well  as  the  present,  account  of  all  the  Peers  and 
Baronets  of  the  realm.  The  Baronetage,  incorporated  with  the  Peerage,  is 
complete  in  every  detail  as  to  the  Lineage  and  present  condition  of  each 
Baronet  and  his  family.  The  Knightage  has  been  much  enlarged  by  the  in- 
troduction of  the  family  connections  of  the  Knights  of  the  several  Orders  of 
the  Knights  Bachelors  and  of  the  Members  of  Her  Majesty's  Most  Honour- 
able Privy  Council.  Precedence. — This  important  subject  has  been 
fully  dealt  with,  and  the  Lists  may  be  relied  on  as  authoritative.  The 
Peers,  Baronets,  and  Knights,  and  the  Companions  of  the  several  Orders 
of  Knighthood  ai-e  placed  according  to  their  relative  rank ;  and  there  is 
given  a  Scale  of  General  or  Social  Precedence,  and  a  List  of  the  Maids  of 
Honour  to  the  Queen,  with  their  relative  Precedence.  Tables  of  Prece- 
dence of  Diplomatic  Agents ;  Relative  Rank  of  the  Officers  of  the  Navy

India,  The  Victoeia  Ceoss,  The  Albeet  Medal,  and  The  Royal 
Red  Ceoss.  The  heraldic  department  includes  not  only  the  engravings 
of  the  arms  of  both  Peees  and  Baeonets,  but  also  the  written  blazon  or 
descriptions.  To  this  work  is  added  a  Key,  or  Comprehensive  Alphabetical 
List,  by  means  of  which  every  titled  personage,  and  many  others,  can  be 
easily  traced.  Nearly  2,000  pages,  super  royal  8vo.,  cloth  gilt.  Price 
£1  IBs.     (Published  Annually.) 

"  Tlie  most  complete  and  monumental  of  Peerages  is  the  well-known  compilation  of  Sir  Bernard 
Burke,  C.B.,  Ulster  King  of  Arms.  .  .  .  But  Burke's  Peerage  is  quite  above  criticism ;  it 
is  unique,  and  remains  by  itself  as  the  type  of  a  book  of  reference." — Times. 

"...  All  students  of  English  History  must  feel  interested  in  the  work.  To  such  students,  iu 
fact,  'Burke'  is  an  indispensable  biographical  dictionary,  and  one  which  needs  no  recom- 
mendation.    .     .     ." — Times. 

"The  reader  who  takes  up  'Burke'  does  rowith  the  full  consciousness  that  every  statement,  every 
detail,  however  small,  has  been  subjected  to  the  closest  scrutiny  and  most  stringent  revision." 
— Morning  Post. 

' '  The  present  edition  is  marked  by  the  accurate  editorship  that  has  justly  entitled  it  to  be  con- 
sidered a  complete  genealogical  and  heraldic  dictionary." — The  Daily  Telegraph. 

"  It  is  scarcely  necessary  to  add  that  the  present  edition  of  Burke's  Peerage  is  distinguished  by 
the  completeness  and  accuracy  that  have  hitherto  constituted  what  is  one  of  the  most 
entertaining  and  suggestive  books  in  the  world,  a  voliune  of  reference  that  everybody  may 
consult  with  confidence." — Saturday  Review. 

"This  work  supplies,  with  admirable  minuteness  and  perfect  correctness,  the  information  so 
eagerly  sought  for." — Illustrated  London  News. 

"  Without  denying  the  merit  of  other  peerages,  this  is  par  exceUenee  the  book  for  those  who 
desire  to  know,  not  only  about  living  persons,  but  about  their  ancestors." — The  Graphic. 

"  Sir  Bernard  can  put  forward  the  hope,  scarcely  distinguishable  from  a  claim,  that  his  present 

volume  is  '  in  all  respects  complete.' " — Notes  and  Queries, 
"Sir  Bernard  Burke's  handsome  volume  easily  maintains  its  position  as  the  most  comprehensive, 

the  most  complete,  and  most  reliable  of  all  the  Peerages." — Vanity  Fair. 


'  The  success  of  Sir  Bernard  Burke  iu  bringing  his  great  work  through  so  many  editions  must  be 
regarded  as  a  marvellous  achievement,  worthy  of  his  learning  and  literary  reputation.  It  is 
not  a  dry  record  of  dates  and  names,  or  a  collection  of  heraldic  symbols,  but  the  cultured 
taste  of  the  author  has  made  it  attractive  by  historical  illustrations  and  notes  of  many  inci- 
dents in  the  career  of  great  families,  which  have  the  charm  of  romance." — Dublin  Daily 
Ei-press.

4,500  Families,  with  a  description  of  their  Arms,  Crests,  &c.  Seventh 
Edition.  Thoroughly  Revised  throughout,  1886.  This  edition  of  the 
Landed  Gentry  has  been  compiled  from  communications  made  by  the 
chiefs  and  heads  of  families  from  their  private  papers,  traditions  and 
genealogies.  The  great  aim  has  been  to  arrive  at  accuracy,  and,  in  order 
to  attain  this  end,  every  available  source  of  information  has  been  exhausted, 
and  a  correspondence  carried  on  whicli  has  secured  many  thousands  of 
communications  from  those  most  competent  to  improve  and  correct  the 
work.  Apocryphal  statements,  which  had  crept  into  former  editions,  have 
been  expunged,  erroneous  particulars  and  incorrect  descents  discovered  and 
omitted,  and  some  memoirs  excluded  as  being  no  longer  associated  with 
the  possession  of  landed  property.  In  tv/o  volumes,  uniform  with  "The 
Peerage,"  "  General  Armory,"  &e,  2,088  pages,  super  royal  8vo.,  cloth  gilt.

furnished  drawing  room." — Illustrated  London  A^cies.

accuracy  as  regards  tacts." — The  Graphic.

criticism."— iVofcs  and  Queries.

"  Indispensable  to  the  Army,  Navy,  and  Auxiliary  Forces." — Saturdai/  Review. 
"  The  Service  Almanack  is  a  model  of  careful  and  judicious  editing.    After  a  close  scrutiny 


59,  Pdll  Mall,  London,  S.W.  13 


of  its  .344  pages,  we  have  not  come  across  a  single  error.  The  volume  contains  nothing  we  would 
dispense  with,  and  nothing  occurs  to  ua  as  being  omitted.  It  thoroughly  justifies  its  title  as  the 
Service  Almanaclc. — Broad  Arrow. 

"  A  more  useful  manual  it  would  be  difficult  to  find."— United  Service  Magazine. 

"Rivals  'Whitaker'  in  the  completeness  with  which  it  deals  with  its  subject.  There 
appears  to  be  no  item  of  Service  information  which  is  not  to  be  found  in  its  pages,  and  it  is 
sure  to  prove  a  most  acceptable  boon." — Whitehall  Review. 

"The  first  thing  that  strilies  us,  on  looking  at  this  Almanack,  is  astonishment  that  it  has 
never  occurred  to  anyone  to  bring  out  such  a  book  before.  The  more  credit,  therefore,  to  the 
gallant  editor  or  editors  who  have  at  last  given  us  an  Almanack  worthy  of  all  the  Services."— 
Arrivi  and  Navy  Magazine. 

"The  Service  Almanack  Is  the  best  shilling's  worth  of  information  connected  with  the 
Services  we  have  seen  for  a  long  time.  It  contains  a  little  of  everything,  and  a  good  deal  of  many 
things.  The  '  Year's  Journal,"  and  the  '  Dictionary  of  Battles'  are  most  useful  for  reference,  and 
the  list  of  the  winners  of  all  honours  during  the  year  a  novel  and  excellent  idea.  The  editing  is 
excellent  throughout." — United  Service  Gazette. 

"  A  work  of  reference  which  is  sure  to  be  handled  constantly  during  the  year.  The  list  of 
members  of  botli  Houses  of  Parliament  who  are  serving  or  liave  served  in  Her  Majesty's  Forces 
strikes  us  as  particularly  useful." — United  Service  Magazine.
