See additional pedigree (p. 613), to Foster's " The Visitation of Yorkshire, 1584/5, &c., which contains a good account of this family. With respect to this patent it is stated in 'Creations, 14S3— 1646," in ap. 47th Rep. D. K. Pub. Records, that "No mention of this has been found in the calendar to the Rat. Rolls, nor has any Privy Seal or signed bill (Chancery Series) been found relating to it," tho' Sir William was sum. to Pari, by writ, 1 Dec. 1544. The authority for the Barony couferred in 1541 is, by Diigdalo, given as "Ex antes?, penes Georgium Eure, an 1562" [i.e., 1662], ami it seems clear from the devolution of the Barony that it was granted by patent to heirs male of the body of the grantee. ('■) In 1619 he sold tho estate of Inglcby (long the inheritance of his family) to Sir David Foulis.
