 THE ALIEN I'HIORY OK AXDWEIJ,. 201 ill Adam the liiisbaiid of the " Countess Sjbilla ; " and possibly on his banishment, and forfeiture, his second cousin, Adam, son of Roger son of Adam, youngest son of Ilugli, the first baron, retaining his own portion of the original estates of the family, increased, possibly, by the grant of much of those of his banished kinsman, succeeded to the honours, and influence of his house; and that he is the stock, from which the present representatives of the family are descended. The following names of the Priors of Andwell arc met with in the documents relating to the Priory. Hdgh. Richard : temp : Edw : II. Walter Britell. Ralph,. . reg : ejusdem. Will : de pulchra Quercu. Godfrey de Insula : Eow. III. Nicholas : temp : Hen : III. Richard Beaumont. Gervase. James Pasquier. Robert : temp : Edw : I. Postscript. — It maybe as well here to correct a mistake with regard to this family, which Hutchins the historian of Dorset has made. He had seen the grant of Sybilla de Albigneio and her sons of the lands in Bradford Peverell, in which no mention is made of her husband's father, Adam de Port. Being uninformed on this point, he says in a note to his account of Bradford, " Adam and Henry were contemporary with Giffard, Bishop of Winchester, in the reigns of Stephen, and Henry I., Dugdale's Baronage, vol. i, p. 463. The Roger here mentioned makes an intermediate descent between Hugh of Domesday Book, and Henry and Adam, hitherto supposed sons, but more probably grandsons of Hugh." He did not observe that the sons of Hugh were Henry the eldest, and Adam the youngest, and those of Roger, Adam the elder, and Henry the younger : nor was he aware of the fact of their mother having been in her widowhood, a contemporary of John, son of Henry de Port.
