fon and fuccefTor, had fixteen children; but all that fur- 
vived him were only one fon, John, and a daughter. 
Sir John, the fon, died unmarried in July 1740, where- 
upon the title was extinbl, and put an end to an unfor¬ 
tunate branch of a good family. Sir John, the fecohd 
fon of fir George, the third baronet, the eldeft above- 
named being difinherited, fucceeded'him in the eftate 
and title granted by the latter patent. This branch of 
the family became extindt in 1792, by the death of the 
Rev, Sir James, the eleventh baronet. The title then 
came into the family of James, the third fon of the third 
baronet : the late baronet, the Rev. Dr. Sir James, was 
grand fon> of that James: fo that perhaps the creation 
ought to bear date 1670, inftead of 162$.—Family Seat,

,WREY, of Trebitch, Cornwall; created July 30, 
1628.—Sir BourchierWrey, the fixth baronet, fuc¬ 
ceeded his father, fir Bourchier, April 23, 1784 ; mar¬

of Haldon Houfe, in Devonlhire, baronet, by whom he' 
has iffue, Anna Eleanora; Bourchier; Robert-Bour- 
chier. He married, fecondly, in 1793, Anne, daughter 
of John Olborne, efq. by whom he has one daughter, 
Eleanora-Elizabeth, and one fon, Henry-Bourchier. 
This family is fuppofed by fome, to be defcended from 
Robert Le Wrey, who lived in the time of king Ste- 
hen: others believe they took their name from their 
abitation in Devonlhire. Sir Chichefter, the fecond 
baronet, born in 1628, faithfully adhered to Charles I. 
and took up arms in his ca'ufe. About 1652 he married 
Anne, reliib of James earl of Middlefex, and third 
daughter and co-heir of Edward Bourchier, earl of Bath, 
by whom he became entitled to a joint claim to the ba¬ 
rony of Fitzwarine, and alfo poffefled of a great eftate 
in the county of Devon, and the noble feat of Tawftock, 
where the family now occafionally refides. After the 
refforation, he was made colonel of the duke of York’s 
regiment, and governor of Sheernefs; ierved in parlia¬ 
ment for Leftwithiel, in Cornwall; and died in May 
3668. Sir Bourchier, his eldeft fon, fucceeded; he 
had been created.a knight of the bath at the coronation 
of Charles II. and foon after was a captain in the regi¬ 
ment of which his father was colonel. He ferved under 
the duke of Monmouth, at the fiege of Maeftricht, and 
other places in the Netherlands. After the revolution 
he commanded a regiment of horfe. He ferved in par¬ 
liament for Lelkard, all the latter end of his life, and

Book, Treleon, a lordlhip of the pari.fh of Alterman in 
Cornwall, gave denomination to this ancient family,_ 
- which fiourilhed in that county before the conqueft. 
Eduni held this lordlhip in the time of king Edward 
the ConfefTor. His defcendants, for feventeen or eigh¬ 
teen generations, having all been men of great note in 
the fame county, John Trelawny, efq. born April 27, 
1592, was the firft baronet. Sir Jonathan,: the third 
baronet, was bred to the church, and conlecrated, in 
LDRY, 
1685, bilhop of Briftol. He was one of--the feven 
bilhops committed to the Tower by James II. After 
the revolution, he was tranflated to the fee of Exeter, 
and from thence, in 1707, to that of Winchefter ; he died 
July 19,1721. Sir Harry, the fifth baronet, nephew to 
the bilhop, was aid-de-camp to the duke of Marlbo¬ 
rough, and was in parliament two or three feflions, but 
at laft lived very privately. He was_ a man of great 
learning, and dying in an advanced age, in 1762, was 
fucceeded by his nephew, fir William,' who was a cap¬ 
tain in the royal navy, and governor of Jamaica ; where, 
after a long and tedious illnefs, he died, December n 
1772. On this melancholy event, the next day being 
Saturday, the 12th, the honourable the houfe of aflem- 
bly of Jamaica came to the following resolution.—“ Re- 
folved: That, in order to teftify the grateful refpedi; 
which this houfe entertained of his late excellency’s 
merit, the fenfe they have of the great and univerfal. 
Satisfaction which his mild and equitable adminiftration 
gave to all ranks of people, and the great regret which 
they feel at his lofs, it be made the requeft of this houfe 
to lady Trelawny, that her ladyfhip confents that his 
excellency’s funeral be at the public expence.” In 
cOnfequence of this vote, a joint committee of the ho¬ 
nourable the council and afiembly was appointed to ar¬ 
range the funeral; which, notwithftanding the Ihortnefs 
of time, was conau6ted with equal propriety and magni¬ 
ficence. Accordingly, on Sunday evening, the 13th in- 
flam, the body was enclofed in a coffin of lead, placed 
in an outer fhell, covered with common velvet, and 
richly furnilhed, lay in ftate in the council chamber, 
which was hung with black, and illuminated with large 
tapers of wax ; and, to their great honour, the mem¬ 
bers of the legiflature, the officers of the navy, arniy, 
and militia, the magiftrates, and all ranks of people, 
feemed to vie with each other in ffiowing the moft 
grateful teftimony of refpefil and regard to the gover¬ 
nor’s memory. Sir William had married his firft cou- 
fin, Letitia, daughter of.the late baronet, and left two 
children, Harry, his fuccelfor, and Lecitia-Anne, mar¬ 
ried to Paul Treby Treby, efq. of Plympton, Devon- 
fhire.—Motto, Sermoni confona fa£li , Deeds anlwering to

bella, daughter of James Lambton, efq. and has iflue, 
three daughters, Jane, Elizabeth, and Dorothy; and 
three fons, who all died in their infancy. Of this an¬ 
cient family, originally written Coigniers, denominated

Coigniers, who came into England about the end of the 
reign of William the Conqueror, to whom the bifliop of 
Durham, who died in ro95, gave the conftablefhip of 
Durham. His defcendants were conftantly of high con- 
fideration in the county of Durham; and the elder

Robert Henley, fecond and laft earl of Northington, 
which title became extinft in 1787.—The family of 
Afton is of very great antiquity, and have refided at 
Afton, in Chelhire, from the time of Edward the C011- 
feflbr; from tin ancient manufeript, it appears they are 
defcended from the Saxons. Sir Thomas, the twenty- 
fifth in lineal defeent from Odard de Efton, was the firft 
baronet. On the breaking out of the civil war, he took 
part with the king, and raifed a party of horfe; but
