English, not Welsh (^Cymric) extraction ; and 

 Lewys Dwnn deduces the paternal line of the 

 family from Sir Richard " Koms," of Colchester, 

 CO. Essex. The pedigree exhibits no connexion 

 with the name of Barlow, which was as generally 

 assigned to her as that of her paternal ancestors, 

 nor from the pedigree of the Bai-lows of Slebetch, 



CO. Pembroke, Baronets, in Collins's English Ba- 

 ronetage (London, 8vo., 1741, vol. iii. part ii., pp. 

 614-17.), does any alliance appear to have existed 

 between the latter and the family of Lucy Walters.

Mistress Lucy Walter; not Walters, the mother 

 of the Duke of Monmouth, was descended from a 

 knightly family, which flourished in the county of 

 Pembroke for nearly two centuries. Thus, in 

 1565, Morris Walter was mayor of Haverford- 

 west; and in l727, Sir Richard Walter was high 

 sheriff of the county of Pembroke. I am not 

 certain as to the year of the birth of Mistress 

 Lucy Walter ; but she was born at Ros Market, 

 a small village in which her father possessed a 

 mansion, the ruins of which are still extant, and 

 situate about five miles from Haverfordwest. Her 

 father was Richard Walter, Esq., of Roch and 

 Trefran, in tlie county of Pembroke ; and her 

 mother was Bridget, daughtei' of Henry Midleton, 

 of Midleton Hall, in the county of Carmarthen, 



Esq. In a copy of the pedigree of the Walter 

 family in my possession, the name of Mistress 

 Lucy stands thus ; 



" Luce, married King Charles the 2"*, England." 



So general was the belief that a marriage had 

 actually taken place between the King and this 

 lady, that Charles offered his Privy Council to 

 make oath that no such contract had been entered 

 into. This belief was greatly strengthened by the 

 Duke of Monmouth's being treated by his father 

 as if he had been a Prince of the Blood. The 

 families of Barlow and Walter were connected by 

 intermarriage : Sir John Barlow, the first baro- 

 net, having married the daughter of Sir Chris- 

 topher Midleton of Midleton Hall, and Joseph
