St. Maurice, St. Andrew, Plymouth, and Fowey. Wm. Sparke, 
Esq., gave £50 to this charity. 
18. Gu. a chev. or, fretty az., betiv. three garbs of the second, 
Baron. The claim of the Barons to a place among the benefactors 
of this charity does not appear. The family of Baron were, in the 
latter part of the sixteenth century, of good standing in Plymouth. 
George Baron was mayor in 1594-5. In the registers of St. 
Andrew we find recorded, that on 30th September, 1594, Mr. 
George Baron, mayor, and Margaret Gayre, widow, were married ; 
she was a daughter of Bobert Trelawny, of Tideford, and was 
married first at St. Andrew, 12th May, 1583, to John Gayre, who 
was buried 7th October, 1593, and by whom she was mother of 
Sir John Gayer. Mr. Geo. Baron is recorded in the same register 
as having been buried 12th June, 1600; the entry, like that of 
some few other prominent persons, being made in violet ink. This 
coat appears on the monument of Elizabeth, wife of Edward 
Calmady, in the church of St. Andrew. She was daughter of 
George Baron, and the coat of her mother's family, Trelawny, is 
also on the monument. This Geo. Baron was probably a son of 
the above Geo. Baron by a former wife, being married in 1600. 
He was most likely born before 1580, and the registers of St. 
Andrew do not exist prior to 1581 ; but we find in them the 
baptism of John, son of Geo. Baron, 23rd June, 1582. Mr. Geo. 
Baron buried there 22nd May, 1627 (vide Par. Reg.). 
19. Or, on a bend cotised sa. three horse shoes of the field, in 
chief a mullet gu. for difference, Ferrers. The bend in this coat, 
being cotised, would be a very proper difference for a younger 
branch of Ferrers, of Beer Ferrers, &c, who bore the same coat 
without the cotises, the mullet being the more modern method of 
marking a shield as belonging to a third son. A Geo. Ferrers was 
member of Parliament for Plymouth in 1542, but no record 
appears to connect him with this charity. 
20. Arg. on a pale within a bord. eng. sa., three crosses pattee or. 
This coat is on a lozenge. 
21. Gu. on a mount the stump of a laurel tree sprouting leaves on 
each side arg., Burroughs. Also on a lozenge. John Burroughs gave 
£18 out of the great tithes of Egg Buckland and St. Bude, less 
£3 12s. land tax, the remainder to be distributed in clothing. 
22. Az. two arrows in saltire, points in base arg., betiv. a mullet 
in chief and base of the second. This is probably intended for
