96-125, at the same library, also tells a great deal of the Cub- 

 berleys in England. It is sometimes spelled Cubberly, Cobberley 

 and Cuberle, as in the case of Thomas de Berkeley, Lord of 

 Cobberley, who was known as " Thomas de Berkeley, dominus 

 de Cubberley, and in the autumn of 1345, among six knights 

 appointed from each county to accompany the King across the 

 Channel, was " Thomas de Berkeley, Cuberle," who fought at 

 Crecy and Poitiers. In Cobberley Church at Cheltenham, the 

 arms of Sir Thomas de Berkeley are shown " Argent, a f esse 

 sable, between three martlets of the last." One of the Berkeley 

 seals represents a circle containing a mounted knight in chain 

 armor, bearing a shield showing a cross. In St. Andrew's 

 Churchyard at Richmond are the graves of Ann Journeay, wife 

 of Isaac Cubberley, and of her sons, James and Isaac, together 

 with that of Ehzabeth Broughton, wife of the second Isaac. In 

 the Moravian Cemetery at New Dorp are those of Wilham and 

 James Cubberley and Mrs. Mary Racey, my grandmother, chil- 

 dren of Isaac Cubberley and his wife Elizabeth. All of these 

 were born in and married from the old house on New Dorp Lane, 

 which has been so generously donated by Dr. Britton. 



Very truly, 

 January twelfth. (Miss) Mary Racey Ridgway.
