Lineage.

This family is of Saxon origin, and held Folefort, as it is written in Domesday Book, from which place the name is derived. Here, as it appears by records, as well as registries in the College of Arms, they were seated in the time of RICHARD I., and have continued in possession of the same name, in the male line, by uninterrupted descent during the long period of more than six hundred years. The mansion, which is a quadrangular pile of building, is still in good repair, though one of the most ancient in the west of England; standing in a park well diversified with fine timber, and with extensive woods and plantations around it. This house was garrisoned for CHARLES I., and was taken by a part of Fairfax's army under the command of Col. Okey, in December, 1645. Many knights of the family distinguished themselves in the Holy Land, Sir Baldwin de Fulford more particularly. Sir Thomas Fulford was one of the knights who went up with the Earl of Devon and relieved Exeter when besieged by Perkin Warbeck, in 1497.

According to the records in the Heralds' Office we find the first of the family is

WILLIAM DE FULFORD, who held Fulford temp. RICHARD I., and left a son,

NICHOLAS FULFORD, of Fulford, who had

a son,

WILLIAM FULFORD, of Fulford, who m. Mariot, daughter and co-heir of Sir Baldwin

de Belston, of Parham, Devon, by whom he had

HENRY FULFORD, of Fulford, who had a

son,

WILLIAM FULFORD, of Fulford, father of JOHN FULFORD, of Fulford, who had a

son,

SIR HENRY FULFORD, of Fulford, living temp. EDWARD III., said by Bishop Godwin to have sat in judgment with Chiefjustice Gascoyne, and condemned Archbishop Scrope to be beheaded. He was s. by his son,

HENRY FULFORD, of Fulford, who m. the daughter and heir of Fitzurse, of Williton, Somerset, by whom he had

SIR BALDWIN FULFORD, of Fulford, sheriff of Devon 38th HENRY VI., Knight of the Sepulcre, and Under Admiral to Holland, Duke of Exeter, High Admiral of England. Prince styles Sir Baldwin "a great soldier and a traveller of so undaunted resolution, that, for the honour and liberty of a royal lady, in a castle besieged by the infidels, he fought a combat with a Sarazen; for bulk and bigness an unequal match, (as the representation of him cut in the wainscot in Fulford Hall doth plainly show,) whom yet he vanquished, and rescued the lady." He m. Elizabeth, daughter and co-heiress of Sir John Bozom, of Bozomzeal, and by her, who wedded secondly, Sir William Hud
