(b) Xhe Editor is greatly indebted to " E. R. Wharton " for much valuable infor- mation from orig. sources respecting this family, which corrects the account thereof in " DugdaU"" DogU" Jjipscomb's BuekB, and elsewhere.

VI., an augmentation to his *' ancient" arms, vie, *'a border eugrailed, gold, remplised with lyons legs in •altire, rased [i.e., erased], guiet,*' these legs being parts of the lion in the Royal Arms of Scotland, the tinetures als4i of which shield are retained.

With respect to an alleged descent of Wharton from the family of Hastings, of Croghill, temv Ed. 111., aooountiug for the ''maunch " in their arms, and the '* bulls head " in their crest, it mav be observed that the family of Conyers, rUk), poss e s s the same bearings, and that the grandmother of the grantee of 1558 was (by an odd coincidence) Alice, da. of Sir John Conyers, of Hornby, co. York. ■ (<>) In a letter to the King, 20 March 1543/4, Edward (Seymour), Earl of Hertford, then Lieut of the Scottish borders (afterwarda, 1547» Duke of Somerset), writes that Wharton your Majeaty's Utten patenti by the which it hath pleased your Highness to crtaU and make ikin Barom. These were received at Newcastle upon Tyne by the newly made Lords on their knees in the presence of a distinguiahed company. [fToMtttofi Papers, vol. iz]. Neithur of these patents, however, were enrolled, but there is no reason to doubt that the limitation in each was in the usual form, vis., to the heirs male of the body of the grantee, and the devolutiou of the Bai-ony of Eure proves that in thai Barony, at all events, it was so considered. The creation by patent in the ease of Wharton is also confirmed **in some MS. notes, by a latter Lord Wharton, correcting Dugdale [who makes no mention of such patent], which are preserved among the Carte Papers in the Bodleian."
