man appears in the reign of Edward III. when William 
Bateman, bifliop of Norwich, and founder of Trinity 
Hall, in Cambridge, was fent to Avignon, to lay before 
the pope his majedy’s claim to the crowm of France. 
The paternal ancedorsof fir H. Bateman redded, during 
feveral generations, in the parifli of Harlington, in Der- 
byfiiire, before Hugh Bateman, who was baptized there 
in the year 1554; whofe daughter, Grace, born at Har- 
Jington Hall in 1589, married George Parker, ancedor 
of the earls of Macclesfield’; and Robert Bateman, born 
at Harlington, (younger brother of the faid Hugh,) was 
chamberlain of the city of London, and was M.P. for the 
city, and an eminent merchant there. He (Robert) found¬ 
ed and endowed the divinity leiturediips of Afhborne 
in Derbyfhire, and died about anno 1645, bequeathing 
lands in the counties of Efl'ex, Dorlet, and Denbigh in 
Wales, amongd his four fons : Robert, diled of Hol¬ 
land ; fir Anthony Bateman, knt. reprefentative in par- 
merchant, and has had ifi'ue by her four fons,-viz. Wil¬ 
liam ; James-John; Robert-G.eorge, who died an infant; 
Keith; and twelve daughters, viz. Eliza-Anne, who 
died an infant; Eliza-Anne-Roberta; Jemima-Maria; 
Anna; Jean-Helen; Henrietta-Sophia ; Eleanora-Caro- 
line; Mary-OHavia; Elizabeth-Amelia ; Emma; Lou- 
ifa-Aibina; Georgiana-Harriet-Julia.—The family dif- 
tinguifhed by the furname of Frafer, are of great anti¬ 
quity in Scotland, although they are unquedionably of 
Celtic or Gaelic origin, and came from Provence and 
Languedoc at one era, and from Brittany and Normandy 
at. another. French hidory mentions, that Julian de r 
Berrie, on the ioth of April 916, prefented Charles 
king of France, at Au Bergne, near Buorboun, a baiket 
of ripe drawberries, which were fo.much thought of, 
that he gave him the furname of Fraife, afterwards writ¬ 
ten Fraifau, and Fraizel, in France, by the great families 
of Guile and Froizeller, dukes of that kingdom, the 
marquis Montagnard, and many others, whofe armorial 
bearings are didinguilhed by drawberries on their fhield, 
in like manner as they are fculptured, and remain to this 
day, on the crofs of Peebles. Sir George M'Kenzie, 
lord advocate of Scotland, and other antiquaries, judly 
fay, that one of this family came into Scotland with the 
embalfy from Charlemagne, 807, and was created the 
fil'd Thane of Man, the lineal ancedor of Oliver Frafer, 
or Frizel, thirteenth Thane of Man, who built Oliver: - 
Cadle, in Tweed’s Muir, and erected it into a condabu- 
lary, and is to this day fird called over in the roll of 
Peebles. Sir Simon Frafer, having thrice faved the life, 
and remounted king Robert de Brus in the battle of 
Methven, had the three crowns quarted into his armo¬ 
rial bearings. The loyalty, fidelity, and martial achieve- 1 
meats, of’ the Frafers, gt Ro.flin, Invernels, Perth, 
Edinburgh, Bannockburn, &c. are well recorded in 
hidory, and led to the alliance with king Robert’s 
filler, who was twice married; by which marriages, fir 
John Campbell, ancedor of Argyle, and fir Alexander, 
ion of fir Simon Frafer, ancedor of Lovetli, were uterine 
brothers, and related to all the nobility of both king-, 
doms, as appears by .the grants and charters preferved 
and defcribed by Mr. Robertfon, in the regider office, 
Edinburgh, p. 19, regider No. 145, charters of king 
Robert de Bros: “Marie, fponfe Alexandri Frafer,

flip nepoti nodro, pro hernagio et fervitio, onmes terras

Bernard Frafer, lineally defcended from Thane Oliver, 
was gifted with the lordfliip of Lovetli (vulgo Norvich)

__._.i for-the adidance of the public) exerted him- 
I elf- much to preferve fir Thomas Bateman’s houfe from 
the flames. Sir Thomas died without ifi’ue, and the 
title became pxtinfcl. Richard, the fifth in defcent from 
Hugh Bateman, married, for his fecond wife, in 175-5,
