Lineage.

The family of Entwisle was long settled in the township of Entwisle, on the northeastern extremity of the hundred of Salford; and Camden speaks of Entwisle Hall in his time as "a neat and elegant mansion," the residence of "noble proprietors of its own name." Of its distinguished members in early times was SIR BERTINE ENTWISELL, knight, viscount of Bricqbec, a gallant warrior of the martial times of HENRY V. and HENRY VI. He participated in the glory of Agincourt, and contributed by his valour to the conquest of France. Returning to England, after the loss of Normandy, he enrolled himself under the banner of the red rose, and fell slain at St. Albans, in 1455. In that battle, the first blow struck in the fatal conflict between the rival houses, eight hundred men are reported to have fallen on the side of the Lancastrians, including besides the Duke of Somerset, John Lord Clifford, Sir Robert Vere, Sir William Chamberlaine, Sir Richard Fortescue, Sir Ralph Ferrers, Sir Bertine Entwisell, and many esquires and gentlemen. Over the remains of Sir Bertine, who was interred in St. Peter's church, appeared, until recently, his effigy in brass, with the following inscription:

"Here lyeth Sir Bertin Entwysell, knight, who was borne in Lancashire, and was Viscount and Baron of Brickbecke, in Normandy, a baylife of Constantine; who died the xxviii. May, in the year of Lord God MCCCCLV. on whose soule God have mercy. Amen."

Sir Bertine wedded Lucy, fifth daughter of Sir John Ashton, of Ashton, and relict of Sir Richard Byron, knight, by whom he left a daughter, Lucy, from whom the Northamptonshire Bradens descended,

Lucan.

Pitlurg, who succeeded his father in 1828, is a magistrate and deputy-lieutenant for Aberdeenshire and lieutenant-colonel of the local militia. Entering the military service of his country at an early age, Colonel Gordon served several years with the 92nd, or Gordon Highlanders, and afterwards with, the 6th regiment, in Portugal, Spain, and France, and on the Staff, in the West Indies. Lineage.

Adam de Gordun, the progenitor of the family of Gordon, went from England into North Britain, with Malcolm III. in the year 1057. He obtained a grant of lands in Berwickshire, near to Coldstream, on the river Tweed, where he settled, and the lands were called from his own surname (then frequent in France) East and West Gordun. He was killed at the siege of Alnwick, with King Malcolm, November 13, 1093, and was succeeded by his son,

ADAM DE GORDUN, proved by two charters in the chartulary of Kelso. The first in 1130, by Adam Filius Ada de Gordun,

The true etymon of Gordon (or Gordun, as found in the most ancient charters) has not as yet been discovered. This name was most un

questionably local, and brought from the Continent to Scotland by the first founder of this family, who gave his own name to the lands he acquired in the county of Berwick. There was a tribe of the Nervi, called Gorduni, settled in Belgic Gaul, near Ghent, mentioned by Cæsar forty years before the Christian æra. From thence the families settled in France, Italy, and the Tyrol, have possibly derived their names. The ancestor of the Scottish family, most probably, came from Normandy, in the reign of King EDWARD the Confessor, which commenced in 1041. This king's mother, Emma, was the Duke of Normandy's sister. He was educated and resided many years at the Norman court. He first encouraged the settlement of the Normans in England, particularly in the northern parts, most subject to the Danish depredations. There is undoubted evidence of the settlement of the Gordons in Normandy at a very early period. In 1263, King HENRY III. entered into a treaty at London, consisting of sixteen articles, with Pontius de Gordon, designed Vir nobilis, for securing to him the castle, honour and government of the Castle of Gordon, in Normandy, with the territories and ancient privileges thereto belonging.See Rymer's Fœdera, vol. i. p. 761.

granting lands, &c. to the abbacy of Kelso, founded by King David I. in 1126. The second by Richard, Bishop of St. Andrew's, confirming to the abbacy the church of Gordun, with liberty to the inhabitants of the other, (or West Gordun) belonging to Adam de Gordun, to bury their dead in the churchyard then first consecrated by him. He was succeeded by his son

RICHER (or RICHARD) DE GORDUN, proved by a charter in 1170, whereby he grants to St. Mary's church and the monastery of Kelso, and to St. Michael's church, of his village of Gordun, certain lands, &c. He died about the year 1200, and was succeeded by his son,

THOMAS DE GORDUN, proved by a charter in 1202, or soon after his father's death, confirming the donations made by Richard de Gordun, his father. He died about the year 1230, and was succeeded by his son,

THOMAS DE GORDUN, proved by four charters in the chartulary of Kelso, granted between 1230 and 1258, wherein he is designed the son of Thomas de Gordun. He died in 1260, and was succeeded by his daughter,

ALICIA DE GORDUN, who married Adam de Gordun, her cousin, (probably the lineal heir male, descended of a brother of Richard de Gordun) proved by a charter, in 1274, or thereabouts, granted by her after the death of her husband, who joined the Earls of Athol and Carrick, in a crusade, and died at Tunis, in 1269. In this charter she is designed daughter and heir of Sir Thomas Gordun, younger, knight, spouse of the late Adam de Gordun; and she confirms the grants of her father, grandfather, and greatgrandfather, all specially named. She was succeeded by her son,
