Excerpt from The Hardys of Barbon: And Some Other Westmorland Statesmen: Their Kith, Kin and ChilderOved by a very tri¿ing occasion some thirty years ago I set out to discover what connection, if any, existed between my ancestors in the male line and a certain coat of arms. The enquiry soon resolved itself into the tracing upwards of a pedigree which our oldest family traditions carried no further back than the latter part of the eighteenth century, and in the result gave a fairly decided answer - in the negative to the question of armorial bearings. But at the same time it revealed unexpectedly an outline of family history going back to early Tudor times, and this, put into the shape of a pedigree with bare references to dates and authorities and a few explanatory notes, was printed privately in 1888 as a matter of purely family interest.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
