Trojpenell Memoranda. 547 



"Sir, 



" What T told you I had copyed from the old Volume of the Pedigree 

 of your Ancestors had I had time, I would have copyed fairer but hav. 

 ing been by business prevented I send it rough as it is which I hope 

 you will excuse. 



"from Sir, 



" Your most humble 

 " Servant 



"Ro. Neale. 



" Note. 

 " Mr. Neale is now the owner of Great Chaufeld the Family Seat of 

 the Tropenells." 



This note fixes the date; for Mr. Silvester Davies states (" Sum- 

 mary of Contents," vol. i,, p. Iv.) "In 1770 the estate" Great 

 Challield " was sold by the duke " of Kingston, the heir of Mr. 

 John Hall, of J^radford, " to Mr. Kobert Neale, of Shaw House, 

 by marriage with whose daughter it came to Sir Harry Buriard, 

 who took the name of Neale." It was not, however, Mr. Robert 

 Neale's daughter, but his granddaughter, the eldest of the three 

 daughters and coheirs of Robert Neale, junior, bis son, who a 

 quarter of a century later (IStli April, 1795), married Sir Harry 

 Burrard, Bart., R N. 



There is a pedigree of the Neale family (with a scaniUUous but 

 amusing account of Mr. Robert Neale, junior, as observed by his 

 wife's mother) in the late Sir Geoi'ge Ducket's Bucketiand, from 

 which it appears that Mr. Robert Neale, senior, was living in 177-1, 

 the date of his will. His son, Robert Neale, junioi-, was mairied 

 in 1770; bis dau<rhter, Grace Elizabeth, afterwauls Ladv Bmiard, 

 was born in 1771 ; and be himself was dead i)efore 9tb Septemlter, 

 1775,^ when bis widow nuuried George, afterwaiiKs Sir CJeorge,
