Anno Domini, MDCLXXIII.

Sir Thomas Preston, the third baronet, had been a Roman Catholic priest until his bro

ther's death; but on that event he married | Preston, who was born in 1661. Elizabeth was m. to Captain Brabazon. Mary was m. to Mr. Joseph Blaker. Lettice was m. to Mr. Briggs.

as stated in the text; after his lady's death, however, he resumed his sacerdotal character and returned to its duties; when he settled the Westmoreland estates upon his two daughters, and went beyond the seas, (to Flanders, where he died circa 1710), having previously settled the Lancaster estate, the manor and abbey of Furness, upon the Jesuits. The legality of this grant was subsequently litigated, and the estate, by the issue of a trial, adjudged to be forfeited to the crown, which seized upon it in consequence, and granted leases, and eventually the fee simple, to the Prestons of Holker, who had been mainly instrumental in bringing to light the illegal settlement made by Sir Thomas Preston. But it must be remembered that the Prestons of Holker were not the right heirs of Sir Thomas, nor could they ever have been while a male descendant of the Prestons of Cockerham was in existence.

(It may as well be stated here, that there is in WEST'S Furness an extremely incorrect and imperfect pedigree of the Prestons of the manor of Holker, which entirely omits the Cockerham branch; whose existence is distinctly proved by a pedigree in the Harl. MSS. 1549, fol. 146, as well as by a pedigree in the Herald's office.) P. 481, col. 1, 1. 26.

The following extract from the Mercurius Politicus of August the 16th, a republican paper, describing a visit of King Charles II. to the Andertons of Euxton, shows the violent spirit of the times.

August 14, 1650. This day Charles Stuart lodged at Euxtonburgh, six miles on this syde of Preston, being Sir Hugh Anderton's house, who was prisoner at Lancaster, but sett at liberty by the Scotts. This Anderton is a bloody papist, and one that, when Prince Rupert was at Bolton, boasted much of being in blood to the elbows on that cruell massacre. The next night theyr king lodged at Brine, six miles from Warrington, being Sir William Gerard's house, who is a subtile jesuited papist. This dissembling Scott trusts none so well in Lancashire for his hostes as the papists." RODDAM OF RODDAM.
