78 REPORT OF MEETINGS FOR 1901 



the Earl of Derwentwater and the Tynedale Jacobites on 

 Plainfield Moor. 



Daring the French War, at the beginning of the last 

 century, the name of Thos. Selby appears as captain of a 

 troop in the Eoyal Cheviot Legion Cavalry in 1803; in 1805 

 he was captain in the Coquetdale Kangers, a body of volun- 

 teer cavalry raised in this district. Whilst still keeping up 

 the traditions of this old Border family, it was only the 

 other day that another Thos. Selby of the Northumberland 

 Hussars, the great grandson of Captain Thos. Selby of the 

 Coquetdale Rangers, received the war medal for service 

 rendered at the front, in the ranks of the Imperial Light 

 Horse, during the present African campaign. 



The black and yellow of the Selbys is a well known livery 

 in Coquetdale, their Coat of Arms being " Barry of Five, 

 Or and Sable " : their Crest a Saracen's head.
