I may mention, however, that this little volume is the partial result of the labours of more than twelve ycars, during which 1 have been constantly examining and noting original records of all kinds, both here, and in London, as most of my friends are well aware. I directed the late Mr. Dymond’s attention to the papers, at the Guildhall, in connection with the murder of Mr. Petre, of Whipton, with the result that he soon afterwards included a notice of that unhappy episode, in the history of the Drewe family, in his paper on the “Old Inns and Taverns of Exeter,” read beforc the “Devonshire Asso- ciation“in 1880. I only mention this to avoid the suspicion of ao unacknowledged plagiarism from one of his many valuable contributions to Devonshire history. It may bc seen that his account diflers from mine, in a somu- what important particular. He says, that these papers give no report “ as to theissue ” of the sad affair, whcrt:ab: the coronefs jury aLtually returned a verdict of ‘*wilful mur- der” against Drewe, as I have stated in my text. Dr. Oliver notices the “Font” atHeavitree Church, with which he n.as “ surprised and pleased.” I have not referred to the present Font, which is modem, hut the old one, which certainly merits much commendation, may still be seen inthe grounds of “Hevitre” House, the picturesque residence ofSir Francis Clare Ford. It j would be well if it could be restored to its original uses, if not to its natural situation. i l\-. f c. 3 Heanme. pmatJ. a5lh. ISSZ. f TABLE OF CONTENTS. vii. CHAPTER Ill. THEPARISH OF ST.

The territory was divided into two parts, East and West Florida, governments were established, and set- tlers and investors soon invaded the new country. Also extensive and valuable land grants were awarded to many gentlemen of wealth and gentlemen with for- tune hunting or philanthropic motives. Lords Grenville, Egmont, Hawke, Templeton, the Marquis of Hastings, and Sir William Duncan, and Dr. Turnbull were among those securing land grants. A genuine “land rush” was made toward Florida. The Annual Register states: “His Majesty this day passed twenty grants of land in East Florida upon petitions of gentlemen of rank and fortune, who in- tended settling them immediately; and it is said that St.

I am indebted to Andy Powell for locating many of the reference sources referred to below, and in providing valuable historical assistance to progress this research to its conclusions. In the main Statement of Significance Report, the history of the buildings was researched as far as possible in an attempt to assess their Heritage Value, with a view to the owners making a decision on the future of these historic Bideford properties.

I DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO FAITH AND JACK AND MY NLECES AND NEPHEWS. n FOREWORD. 3T was suggested to me by my cousin, Alfred Ransford of Hunstanton, that being a native of Stratford-on-Avon, baptized there in the historic Church of Holy Trinity (Register Certificate No. 70;\ Page 89), and the grand-daughter of a Rainsford of the Clifford Chambers line, I should compile into a little book some of his genealogical notes relating to the family, which he has collected over a period of thirty years, in­ spired and assisted by a kinsman, the late Frederick Vine Rainsford, who began turning over Wills and docu-· ments at the age of eighteen, and devoted a great part of sixty years to research work. This volume is a brief outline of a typical English family, living in the beautiful homes of our Empire, yet facing the vicissitudes oflife, with its struggles and successes; amidst the hardships and dra\vbacks of a much less advanced civilization ; who, like numerous others, in response to the call of King and Country, have been leaders of men, in the Church and Services, in the legal and
