The following extract from ORDERICUS VITALIS (who wrote nearly 600 years ago a History of Normandy, published by Monsieur du Chesne) may throw some light on the origin of the great house of BASKER

VILLE.

"Baldricus Teutonicus married the daughter of Richard, surnamed de Benefacta, Lord of Clare and Tunbridge in Eng- | land, by Roesia, his wife, sister to Walter Giffard the second Earl of Buckingham after the Conquest, and daughter of Walter Giffard, Count of Longueville in Normandy, and first Earl of Buckingham, in England,

This gentleman, through the alliance of his ancestor, ROWLAND MYNORS, esq. with Theodosia, daughter of Sir Percival Willoughby, knt. of Wollaton, proves Founder's kin to All Soul's Oxford. The descent is thus traced;

Beatrix ChichelEY, daughter of John Chicheley, chamberlain of London, born in 1425, wedded Sir William Peche, knt. of Lullingston, Kent, and had (with a son Sir John Peche, knight banneret) a daughter,

ELIZABETH PECHE, who m. John Hart, esq. of the Middle Temple, and had a son,

SIR PERCYVAL HART of Lullingston, chief sewer and knight harbinger to HENRY VIII., who m. Frediswide, daughter and co-heir of John Lord Bray, and had a son, Sir George Hart, of Lullingstone, and a daughter,

CATHERINE HART, who espoused Thomas Willoughby, esq. of Blore Place, and left a son and

successor,

SIR PERCIVAL WILLOUGHBY, knt., who m. Bridget, eldest daughter and co-heir of Sir Francis Willoughby, knt. of Wollaton, and sister to Margaret, wife of Sir Robert Spencer, created in 1603, Baron Spencer of Wormleighton. By this lady Sir Percival had with other issue,

FRANCIS (Sir) ancestor of LORD MIDDLETON. THEODOSIA, m. to ROWLAND MYNORS, esq. of Treago, great-great-great-great grandfather of the present

PETER RICKARDS MYNORS, esq. of Treago.

Avelina his wife, sister to Gunnora, wife of Richard, the first of that name, Duke of Normandy. Baldrick by his said wife had six sons and as many daughters; the sons were NICHOLAS DE BASCHEVILLA, now Bacqueville; Fulke de Anjou; Robert de Courcy; Richard de Nova Villa or Nevill; Baldrick de Balgenzais, now Beangeney or Boysgeney; and Wigenus, or Wigman of Apulia. NICHOLAS, the eldest, married one of the Dutchess Gunnora's nieces, and by her had two sons, William Martell and Walter de St. Martin, who were ancestors of the Warrens, Earls of Warren and Surrey, and of the Mortimers, Earls of March, &c. &c."

RUSSELL OF BRANCEPETH.-Incorporate the following particulars of this family with the details given at page 104:

THE RUSSELLS are of considerable antiquity in Cumberland :-in many of the early entries in the church registers of Millam (which the Rev. Henry Dixon, officiating minister, has recently with much care investigated) they are described as Russells de Duddon Bridge, and de Arnabie; by an intermarriage with the ancient family of Taylor, they acquired the estate of ROWENLANDS, to which they removed between the years 1652 and 1657, and they continued to abide there until 1803, when in consequence of the demise issueless of the elder brother, the property passed to William Russell, esq. of Brancepeth Castle, who having himself realised a very considerable fortune in the county of Durham, alienated the acquisition, and it is now in the possession of R. Postlewaite, esq. of Braughton in Furness.

Unfortunately the early registers are so defective, that no very continuous pedigree can be made out before the year 1598, and the baptismal records commence with 1600.

JOHN RUSSELL,* esq. of Arnabie, dying in 1608, was buried at Millam, and s. by his

MATTHEW RUSSELL, esq. of Rowenlands, | ment until his death in London, 8th May,

b. 15th February, 1657-8, who had (with two daughters, Elizabeth and Bridget) two sons, viz.

ROBERT, his heir.

Matthew, b. 2nd August, 1635, who settled at Sunderland as a merchant in 1700, and upon his demise issueless in 1760, devised half his fortune, which was very considerable, to his nephew William, late of Brancepeth Castle. In Sunderland church yard a beautiful monument is erected to his memory.

Matthew Russell d. 28th February, 1695, and was s. by his elder son,

ROBERT RUSSELL, esq. of Rowenlands, b. 8th October, 1682, who had issue,

MATTHEW, his heir.

1822. He rebuilt the greater part of Brancepeth Castle, and it is now one of the most noble edifices in the north of England. Probably few individuals have ever been so justly, deeply, and universally lamented. Mr. Russell's only son and successor, the present WILLIAM RUSSELL, esq. of Brancepeth Castle, also vice-lieutenant of the county Palatinate, was returned in two successive parliaments for the county of Durham, and proved himself a zealous and disinterested promoter of the reform, by the patriotic gift of his boroughs of Bletchiinglye and Saltash, consisting of three

seats.

Estates.-Brancepeth, Brandon, Hardwicke, Willington, Westparks, Newton, Newton-cap, Blakestone, Fulthorpe, and Thwaites, in the county of Durham, and Baysdale in the county of York.

CANDLER OF CALLAN.-Edward Candler, esq. the brother of the present representa

James, b. 6th March, 1744, d. in Au- tive of the family, has been appointed a

Robert Russell died 22nd March, 1757, and was s. by his son,

MATTHEW RUSSELL, esq. b. 31st March, 1733, who died without issue at Rowenlands in January, 1803, and was s. by his next brother,

WILLIAM RUSSELL, esq. of Brancepeth Castle (as stated in the body of the work.) This gentleman, who sold the estate of Rowenlands, was distinguished for liberality and benevolence. Among many similar instances may be mentioned an hospital at Cornsay in the county of Durham, which he built and endowed, for a considerable number of aged and infirm persons of both sexes, with a chapel for divine service, and a school attached for a large establishment of boys and girls. During the war in 1803, he raised a corps of volunteer infantry, consisting of two full companies, which he armed, clothed, and completely equipped at his own expense; he was also chiefly instrumental in raising the Usworth troop of yeomanry cavalry, and in the distresses on the termination of the war, he received and maintained the poor, coming from all quarters, in barracks constructed for the purpose, where every comfort was provided, while he kept alive their habits of industry, by engaging such as were able in various works on his extensive estates. Mr. Russell was s. at his decease by his son,

MATTHEW RUSSELL, esq. of Brancepeth Castle, vice-lieutenant for the county of Durham (as stated in the body of the work.) On leaving Trinity College, Oxford, this gentleman accepted a company in the Durham militia, and was subsequently major of the regiment. In 1801 he was returned member for Saltash (one of his father's boroughs) and continued to serve in parlia

deputy lieutenant for the county of Northampton.

The family Estates are-Morton Pinkney and Culworth, both in Northamptonshire; with lands in Norfolk and Yorkshire. ROUS OF COURTYRALA.

Lineage.

This family descends, it is presumed, from Sir Thomas Fludd, knt. of Milgate, who was receiver of Kent, Sussex, and Surrey, and treasurer to the army sent (temp. ELIZABETH) to aid Henry IV. of France. In the subsequent reign, a member of the Kentish house, (who was the first to write his name FLOOD), rose high in favour with King JAMES, and had several grants of lands in divers parts of the kingdom. He styled himself in writing "Flood," while the other branches were written Fludds. rived

The remainder of the account, as given in the work, is correct, excepting that the mother of the present Mr. Flood, of Flood Hall, was Miss Aldworth, daughter of Richard Aldworth, esq. of Newmarket, in the county of Cork, M.P. and not Miss Bury, as erroneously stated at p. 125.
