in the county of Durham, and Lord Lieutenant of the 
faid county ; born July 27, 17 66 ; fucceeded his father,

1792 ; Caroline-Mary, born February 8, 1795, and died 
the nth of May following; Augufta-Henrietta, born 
December 26, 1796. 
Genealogifts have traced the pedigree of this noble 
family to very remote times. John Vane, in the reign 
of Henry VII. who was father of Richard, anceftor to 
the earl of Weftmorelahd, and of John, anceftor to the 
earl of Darlington, firft changed the mode of writing 
his family, name to that of Fane. Henry, fon of the laft-' 
mentioned John, was engaged in the infurretfion of fir 
Thomas Wyat, in 1554, and committed to the Tower, 
but foon after pardoned. Sir Henry, his grandfon, re¬ 
fumed the name of Vane,and was employed by Charles I. 
in an embaffy to Guftavus Adolphus king of Sweden, 
in behalf of the elector palatine king of Bohemia. He 
was conftituted one of the principal fecretaries of ftate 
to that monarch, to which was added. May 18, 1641, the 
office of one of the lords commiffioners for executing the 
truft of lord high treafurer of England. He died in 1654. 
Sir Henry, his fon, refided for fome time in the city 
of Geneva ; from whence he failed, in 1635, for the pro¬ 
vince of New England, in North America, and was foon 
after elected governor of that infant colony. He became 
involved in various controverfies with the inhabitants, 
and in confequence was induced to return to his native 
country. He was then appointed to the office of trea¬ 
furer of the navy, in which he afterwards Continued by 
authority of the parliament. He reduced the profits of 
that office from a floating income of about thirty thou, 
fand pounds perann. to a fixed falary of only two thou- 
fand pounds per ann. which', inftead of converting to 
his own ufe, lie beftowed upon the agent by whom the 
bufinefs of the office was conduded. Sir Henry Vane, 
together with Cromwell, and lord chief juftice Saint 
John, was the moft adive leader of the party of the in- 
dependents, and was greatly inftrumentai in procuring 
the eftablifhment of the felf-denying ordinance in 1644. 
He was alfo one of the commiffioners deputed to nego- 
ciate with Charles I. in the ifle of Wight, in September 
1648 ; but oppofed the fubfequent proceedings againft 
the life of that mo-narch, and was the refolute adverfary 
of the'ambitious purpofes of Cromwell. After the death 
of the ufurper, he again appeared upon the theatre of 
politics, as the champion of liberty. Upon the reftora- 
tion of Charles II. he was marked as an ohjed of ven¬ 
geance; and, being brought to his trial, was.convided 
and executed, June. 14, 1662. Upon this occafion he 
manifefted the higheft proofs of a calm and intrepid 
mind, notwithstanding the indecent efforts that were 
made to appal him. Sir Henry Vane was one of the 
nobleft characters of this eventful period, and exhibited 
an union of the moft fuperior abilities, the moft perfedt 
integrity, the moft uniform principles, and the higheft; 
fagacity; which occafioned him never to deviate from 
the line of condud which his judgment didated. Chrif- 
topher, his fon, was by William III. created baron Bar¬ 
nard, of Barnard Caftle, and had iffue, 1. Gilbert, fe¬ 
cond lord Barnard, father of Henry, third lord Barnard, 
a. William, created by George I. June 12, 1720, baron 
of Duncannon, in the county of Tyrone, and vifcount 
Vane of the kingdom of Ireland; which titles became 
extind in 1782. 
Henry, third lord Barnard, was by George II. created 
vifcount Barnard, and earl of Darlington; and confti¬ 
tuted, in 1755, joint paymafter general of his majefty’s 
forces, which office he refigned in 1757. He married 
Grace, daughter of Charles Fitzroy duke of.Cleveland ; 
by which lady, who died September 29, 1763, he had 
iffue, Henry, fecond earl of Darlington ; Frederic, mar¬ 
ried, firft, Henrietta, filler to fir William Meredith,- bart.. 
by whom he had an only daughter, who married, Fe¬ 
bruary 22, 1793, captain Metcalf; and fecondly, Grace, 
fecond daughter of Arthur Lyfaght, brother'of John 
lord Lille. Raby, born January 2, 1736 ; married to
