[Illustration] John de Frampton, M. P. for Dorset in 1373 and 1380, is the first recorded ancestor; his son Walter, having married Margaret heiress of the Manor of Moreton, became possessed of that estate as early as the year 1365, which has since continued the seat of the family. See Hutchins's History of Dorset, vol. i. 238, where the pedigree is given from the Heralds' Office, CC. 22, 155, continued from 1623 to 1753 by James Lane, Richmond Herald, and the new edition of Hutchins, vol. i. p. 398. ARMS.--_Argent, a bend pules cotised sable. Said to have been borne by the first ancestor, John Frampton_. Present Representative, Henry James Frampton, Esq. BOND OF GRANGE AND LUTTON, IN THE PARISH OF STEPLE, IN THE ISLE OF PURBECK. [Illustration] Originally of Cornwall, and said to be a family of great antiquity, but not connected with Dorset till the middle of the fifteenth century. In 1431 (9th Henry VI.) Robert Bond of Beauchamp's Hache, in the county of Somerset, was seated at Lutton, his mother having been the heiress of that name and family. Grange was purchased by Nathaniel Bond, Esq in 1686. There were other branches of this family seated at Blackmanston, Swanwick, and Wareham. See Hutchins's History of Dorset, vol. i. 326, and the new edition, vol. i. p. 602. ARMS.--_Sable, a fess or_. A former coat, recognised in the Visitation of Dorset in 1623, was, _Argent, on a chevron sable three besants_. Present Representative, The Rev. Nathaniel Bond. TREGONWELL OF ANDERSON AND CRANBORNE. [Illustration] The name is derived from Tregonwell, in the parish of Cranstock and county of Cornwall, and there the remote ancestors of this family doubtless resided, though the pedigree is not _proved_ beyond the latter part of the fifteenth century. In the reign of Henry VIII., Sir John Tregonwell was employed by the king on his matrimonial affairs, and sent into France, Germany, and Italy. His services were rewarded by grants of monastic lands, among others by the mitred Abbey of Milton in this county. Milton was sold to the Damers in the eighteenth century, and Anderson purchased in 1622. See Gilbert's Cornwall, ii. 313; Hutchins's Dorset, iv. 210, and the new edition, i. p. 161. ARMS.--_Argent, on a fess cotised sable, between three Cornish choughs proper three plates_. Present Representative, John Tregonwell, Esq. WELD OF LULWORTH CASTLE. [Illustration] Founded by William Weld, Sheriff of London in 1352, who married Anne Wettenhall; his posterity were seated at Eaton in Cheshire, till the reign of Charles II. The present family are descended from Sir Humphry, Lord Mayor of London in 1609, who was fourth son of John Weld of Eaton and Joan Fitzhugh. Lulworth was purchased in 1641. Younger branch, Weld-Blundell of Ince-Blundell, Lancashire. See Ormerod's Cheshire, ii. 131; Hutchins's Dorset, i. 226; and the new edition, i. p. 372; Blakeway's Sheriffs of Salop, p. 120,
