as the only contemporary example of the actual use of these arms 
by that family within the writer's knowledge. Timothy Alsop, in 
1654, seals with a bend between in chief three doves volent, and in 
base as many pheons, on the bend an annulet for difference. The 
arms of Alsop (sa. a bend betw. in chief three doves with an 
olive branch in the beak of each, and in base as many pheons arg.) 
appear impaled with Stuckley on the monument, in St. Budeaux 
Church, of Lewis Stucley, Esq., who married Elizabeth Alsop. 
The above Timothy Alsop was married to Alice Waddon on the 
26th May, 1642, at St. Andrew's Church. Mrs. Alice, wife of 
Mr. Timothy Alsop, buried 13th April, 1655. At the same 
church his daughter Elizabeth was married to Lewis Stucley, Esq., 
on the 5th February, 1670, and was buried at St. Budeaux, 18th 
February, 1701. Prudence, another daughter, was baptized at 
St. Andrew's, 22nd August, 1648, and buried as Mrs. Prudence 
Alsop 8th April, 1676. Timothy Alsop was mayor in 1648-9. 
The name occurs in the registers of St. Andrew as early as 1589, 
in which year Thomasine, daughter of Owen Alsop, was baptized 
July 24th. These arms are not given in Burke's General Armory, 
but they appear to be a modification of the coat of the ancient 
Derbyshire family of Alsop. It has the look of the composite 
coats formed before quartering was adopted. Thus a younger son, 
marrying an heiress of the Glamorganshire family of Mcholl, 
placing a bend between the three doves of his own family and the 
three pheons of Mcholl, would think the shield fairly parted 
between the two, and a coat formed for his descendants that repre- 
sented both Alsop and Mcholl, but did not trench on the rights 
of either. 
John Gayer seals, in 1630, with erm. a fleur-de-lis and on 
a chief a mullet. Edmund Fowell, in the same year, seals with 
a chev. and on a chief three mullets. The Fowells were too pro- 
minent a Devonshire family to need be more particularly mentioned 
here. 
Eobert Trelawny, in 1618, seals with a remarkably fine 
seal, namely, quarterly of six coats, viz., 1 (arg.) a chev. (sa.) ; 
2 (arg.) a chev. (sa.) betw. three oak leaves (vert) ; 3 (sa.) a cross 
(or), thereon four branches of laurel conjoined in cross (ppr.) ; 
4 (vert) a stag's head affront (or) ; 5 (gu.) on a bend (or) three 
stags' head affront (sa.) ; 6, erm. on a chev. (gu.) five laurel leaves 
(arg.) On the centre a crescent (or) for difference. There are no
