WITH PEDIGREES FROM THE HERALDS' VISITATIONS OF 1569 AND 1582-3, AND SUNDRY MISCELLANEOUS PEDIGREES. EDITED BY SIR JOHN MACLEAN, F.S.A., etc., AND W. C. HEANE, M.R.C.S. Eng., etc. LONDON 1885. preface. This Volume contains the pedigrees recorded at the Heralds' Visitation of Gloucestershire in 1623, with Appendices containing Pedigrees from ^^<i the Visitations of 1569 and 1583, and also sundry Miscellaneous Pedigrees, the date of which the Editors have been unable to identify with n/^ certainty. The whole are derived from Harleian MSS. 1041 and 1543. In the first cited volume, No. 8 is entitled: "Arms & Pedigrees I \^ from the Visitation of the Countie of Gloucester, a.d. 1583, by Eobert ^ Cooke, Clareuceulx, as it seems with many Continuations & Additions " by John Saunders & others " (18— 75) ; and No. 10, entitled : The .1^ Visitation of the Countie of Gloucester as taken a.d. 1623, by Henry Chitty, Chester, and John Philpot, Rouge Dragon, for Will. Camden, Clarenx., done by the hand of John Saunders" (T?*"—121). In Volume 1543, No. 2 is entitled: " The Visitation of the County of Gloster made by Robert Cooke alias Clarenceulx King of Arms in anno 1583 ?, continued & enlarged with the Visitation of the same County, made by Henry Chitty, Chester, and John Phillipott, Somerset Heralds; Deputyes to William Camden, Clarenceux, in anno 1623, with many other Descents, transcript, per R. Mundy." No. 3, Mr. Mundy " goeth on with the title, thus : This Booke I lent M"^ Somerset when he went the last Visitation (above mentioned), and many of the Descents weare enlarged by him, as apereth under his owne hand. 4. Here are likewise divers additional Notes & Enlargements by Mr. Mundy, Mr. Latton, Mr. Dale, and others." J^O'^ t X,<J / As regards the Visitation of 1623, neither of the MSS. is very satis- factory or complete. In Vol. 1041 there are sixty-eight pedigrees that are not in Vol. 1543, and seventy-seven in the latter not in the former. altogetlier about 200 distinct genealogies. Of tlie 1569 Visitation, there are two in Vol. 1041 not in 1543, and one in Vol. 1543 not in 1041. There are only nineteen in all which have been clearly identified as belonging to this Visitation. Of the Visitation of 1582-3, there are only seven pedigrees in all ascertained to belong to the Visitation for this year. Unfortunately there is no official copy of this Visitation in the Heralds' College. All the pedigrees in 1041 have been collated with those in 1543, and the whole, with the exception of the first few, compared with the official records in the College of Arms, and wherever differences exist, they have been shewn either by being printed in other type or by footnotes. But with respect to the Visitation of 1582-3, of Avhich, as stated above, there is no official copy, the pedigrees have been collated with those in the Vincent Collection in the College of Arms (Vincent MS. 115), which, though not of official authority, are not inferior in respect to accuracy.* Following the example of the 'Visitation of Cornwall,' printed by this Society in 1874, we have inserted as footnotes, from our respective private collections, extracts from Parish Registers, and from the transcripts from those Registers now remaining in the Bishop's Registry at Gloucester, for the obliging facilities for consulting which we have to return our thanks to the Parochial Clergy, and to Benjamin Bonner, Esq., the Deputy Registrar of the diocese. We have also appended divers other notes of record which wiU not only authenticate the pedigrees, but wiU be of great assistance to any who may be desirous of continuing them. Though the greater portion of the extracts referred to were collected by us for other purposes, a great many were made by special searches in connection with this Work, and the time occupied in these searches will, we hope, be accepted by the Society as the cause of the delay in the completion of the Volume. * Augustine Vincent was appointed Eouge Eose Pursuivant 22 Feb. 1615-16, Eouge Croix 29 May 1621, and Windsor Herald 1 June 162i. He was much esteemed in the College for his great ability and equal industry. He made large collections from the Tower Eecords and other valuable materials, and died 11th January 1625-6. His worthless son, John Vincent, sold 240 of his father's manuscripts to Ealph Sheldon of Weston, co. Warwick, who bequeathed them to the College. — We would refer tliose who desire further information on Gloucester- shire Genealogy to the following authorities : HERALDS' VISITATIONS. - - Caius Coll., Camb., MS. 553, Art. 6. 1530 Benolfce Original - - College of Arms, MS.
