308 THE MANOR OF BEAL 



THE SELBY PEE. 



From the statement in the Rental of 1631, it is evident that 

 the root of tlie title of the Selhy property may be traced 

 back to the Greys of Kyloe, an ancient Islandshire family 

 whose pedigree is set out by Raine, North Durham, p. 337. 

 As has been shown, Oliver Selby, in the year 1588, acquired 

 other lands in Beal with apparently a moiety of the manor. 



He is stated to have been a younger son of John Selby of 

 Grindon in Norhamshire. He attained a ripe old age, for on 

 the 28th December, 1629, under the description of Oliver 

 Selby of Lowlinn, he entailed his property in that place upon 

 his eldest son George Selby, ^^ remainder to his son William 

 Selby, remainder to John Selby, remainder to Richard Matlin 

 alias Selby, remainder to John Selby of Grindon, remainder 

 to John Selby of Pawston, remainder to William Selby of 

 Pawston, remainder to Gerard Selby of the Hare-law. ^2 This
