The Second TABLEof Genealogical Descent, 
we have engraved principally with the view to illuftrate 
the defcent of hereditary honours in fee, and with 
limitations to the heirs male; and wherein, after con¬ 
tinuing in one line of defcent, they have become dif- 
united in confequence of the failure of iflue male. The 
one we ftiall firft explain is the barony of Dudley and 
Ward. 
Humble, lord Ward, was created a baron by Charles L 
A. D. 1644. He married Frances, the grand-daughter 
of Edward Sutton lord Dudley, and who became, on 
thedeath of her grandfather in 1643, baronefs Dudley: 
the title of Ward, by-the terms of the creation being 
limited to Humble, the firft baron, and his heirs male: 
the barony of Dudley being a barony in fee. On the 
death of Humble, lord Ward, he left two fons, Edward 
and William. Edward the elder fucceeded to both 
baronies, and on his death left a grandfon William, 
who fucceeded, (as fourth lord Dudley and fifth lord. 
Ward;) and a daughter Frances, who married William 
Lea, efq. The laft-mentioned lord Dudley and Ward 
died without iflue ; and the two baronies defcended 
into different branches of the family. The barony of 
Ward, being fo limited by the patent, defcended to the 
heir's male; and the barony of Dudley, being a barony 
in fee, defcended to Ferdinando, fon of the laft menti¬ 
oned Frances, wife of Willjam Lea, efq. Ferdinando, 
lord Dudley, died without ilfue; and he having five 
fillers, the barony on his death was in abeyance. We 
now return to John, the grandfon of William; he w^s 
in 1768 created a vifcount, by the title of vifcount 
Dudley and Ward. By his firft marriage he had a fon 
John, who fucceeded him, and who died without ilfue. 
The vifcountefs married, fecondly Benjamin Jennings, 
efq. and thirdly, J. Smith, efq. By his fecond marriage 
he had a fon William, who, on the death of his half- 
brother fucceeded to the title. He has a fon, who of 
courfe is heir apparent to the vifcounty. A reference 
to the Table will explain the foregoing particulars. 
Humble, lord Ward, (1,) Frances, grand-daughter of 
Edward lord Dudley, (2,) his fons Edwardand William, 
(3 and 4,) William, fecond fon of the laft mentioned 
Edward, (5;) his wife, (6,) his fons Edward, John, 
and William, (7, 8, 9;) the latter of whom dying un¬ 
married, the barony defcended to -Ferdinando, lord 
Dudley, (14,) fon of Frances, (10,) filter of William 
the laft lord, and wife to William Lea, efq. (13;) 
Diana, daughter of Thomas Howard, efq. (11,) wife of 
Edward, (7,) and their fon Edwaid the fourth lord 
Ward, and third lord Dudley and Ward, (12.) We 
now proceed to (15,) the grandfon of the firft lord 
Ward, who married Anri, daughter of Thomas Parker, 
efq. (16.) William, their fon, (17,) married Mary, 
daughter of John Grey, efq. (18;) by whom he had 
two Ions; John and William, (19 and 20.) The for¬ 
mer, and who was the firft vifcount, married firft, Anne- 
Maria,' (21,) daughter of C. Bourcheir, efq. and fe¬ 
condly, Mary, the daughter of John Carver, efq. (22.) 
By the firft marriage there was a fon, John, (23), who 
married Mrs. Baker, (25;) and who, on the death of 
his lordlhip, married as before ftate’d, (26 and 27.) 
Julia, daughter of Godfrey Bofville, efq. and wife of 
the prefent peer, (28.) John, heir apparent to the 
vifcounty, (29.) 
The defcent from the fixth earl of Lincoln, is highly 
worthy of attention,' It illuftrates the defcent of the 
honours of Clinton and Saye, and that of Fortefcue. 
The earl, (1,) had two children; Theophilus, (2,) 
afterwards earl of Lincoln, and baron Clinton and Saye. 
On the death of Theophilus, the earldom became 
extinft, and the barony of Clinton and Saye defcended 
to the abo've named Arabella, (3;) as heir general* 
and who was thereupon baronefs Clinton and Saye, 
She married Robert Rolle, efq, (4,) who had a fon,
