ONSLOW AND CRANLEY, Baron (ONSLOW).--This Barony is both nominal and local, for the Family came from Onslow in Shropshire. Their first settlement in Surrey was at Knowle, in the Parish of _Cranley_, whence came the second Barony by creation to George Onslow, the Son of Arthur (the Speaker), in the life-time of his Cousin Richard, then Lord Onslow, 1776. The original Patent, 1716, to Richard (who was Speaker also) the eldest Son of Sir Arthur Onslow, Bart. was limited to the Heirs Male of his Father, which carried the Title of Baron Onslow of Onslow and Clendon[226], to the Son of Arthur (the Speaker), on the death of his Cousin Richard Lord Onslow, 1776[227]. [226] Clendon is the Seat of the Family in Surrey. [227] See Camden's Brit. col. 182, as to the Family. N.B. George Lord Onslow and _Cranley_ was created into the latter Title, May 14, 1776; and succeeded his Cousin Richard in the Title of Onslow, on the 8th of the following October. BERKELEY, Earl.--From Berkeley Castle, the present Seat of the Family, in Gloucestershire. The Barony of Berkeley is a Feudal Honour by the Tenure of the Castle of Berkeley; and the Possessor of it had Summons to Parliament as a Baron by that Tenure, anno 23 Edward I.[228] [228] Dale's Catalogue of the Nobility, 1697, p. 72. DURSLEY, Viscount.--From Dursley in Gloucestershire, the original Seat of the Family. DE CLIFFORD, Baron (SOUTHWELL).--From Clifford Castle in Herefordshire; where Walter Fitz-Ponce, whose Father possessed it by marriage, resided, and took the name of Clifford. The first Fitz-Ponce came hither with the Conqueror, to whom he was related. The Barony passed in the Female Line to the Family of Southwell, to which it was confirmed A.D. 1775. The first Summons to Parliament was anno 23 Edward I. 1295. DUCIE, Baron, OF MORTON AND TORTWORTH (REYNOLDS).--The Peer of the name of _Ducie_ was descended from Sir Robert Ducie, Lord Mayor of London, 1631; and who had been created a Baronet[229]. The Issue Male of the name of _Ducie_ failing, the Title was renewed by Patent, 1763, to Matthew Ducie, Lord Ducie of _Morton_ in Staffordshire; with a Limitation to Thomas and Francis _Reynolds_, his Nephews, and their Heirs Male successively, by the Style of Lord Ducie of _Tortworth_ in Gloucestershire. _Thomas_ Reynolds succeeded to this Title on the death of his Uncle, 1770; and dying without Issue 1785, it devolved on his Brother _Francis;_ who dying in 1808, was succeeded by his Son Thomas, present Lord Ducie.
