Present Representative, Sir Edmund William Romer Antrobus, 2nd Baronet. LAWTON OF LAWTON. [Illustration] It is not improbable that this family is descended from Robert, a younger son of Vivian de Davenport, who settled at Lawton in the 50th of Henry III. and assumed the local name: this assertion is borne out by the arms, which are evidently founded on those of Davenport. The pedigree is not however traced beyond Hugh Lawton, who married Isabella, daughter of John Madoc, in the reign of Henry VI. The manor of Lawton was purchased by William Lawton, Esq. from King Henry VIII. It had been formerly held by the Abbey of Chester, to which the Lawtons appear to have been tenants from a very early period. Younger branch, Lawton of Lake Marsh, in the county of Cork. See Ormerod, iii. 11, and Lysons's Cheshire, p. 673. ARMS.--_Argent, on a fess between three cross-crosslets fitchée sable a cinquefoil of the first_. Present Representative, John Lawton, Esq. COTTON OF COMBERMERE, VISCOUNT COMBERMERE 1826, BARONET 1677. [Illustration] There are several places called Cotton, and antiquaries have doubted from which of them the present family is called. The house usually assigned is that of Cotton, near Wem, in Shropshire, where Sir Hugh Cotton was seated in the reign of Edward I., and whose descendant, Roger Cotton, acquired the estate of Alkington, in the same county, by marriage of the heiress, in the reign of Richard II. He was the ancestor of Sir George Cotton, grantee of Combermere after the Dissolution in 1540, from whom the present family directly descend. Younger branch, extinct in the male line, but represented in the female line by R. H. Cotton of Etwall, co. Derby, Esq. MSS. of the late Mr. Joseph Morris of Shrewsbury. See a different account of this family in Ormerod, iii. 212; Blakeway's Sheriffs of Shropshire, p. 104; and Wotton's Baronetage, iii. 611. ARMS.--_Azure, a chevron between three hawk's lures, or cotton-hanks, argent_. Present Representative, Wellington Henry Cotton, 2nd Viscount Combermere. CORNWALL. +Knightly.+ TRELAWNYY OF TRELAWNY, BARONET 1628. [Illustration] "The most Cornish gentlemen can better vaunt of their pedigree than their livelyhood," wrote Richard Carew, of Antonie, Esq. in 1602,--"for that they derive from great antiquitie; and I make question whether any shire in England, of but equal quantitie, can muster a like number of faire coat-armours:" and again, "By Tre, Pol, and Pen, You shall know the Cornish men."
