[Illustration] An ancient family, which has been seated in many counties, originally of Waldegrave, in Northamptonshire; afterwards settled in Suffolk; about the latter end of the fifteenth century, seised of lands in this county; and again we find them in Norfolk and Somersetshire. Naverstock was granted by Queen Mary in 1553, the Waldegraves having suffered for their attachment to the old faith at the time of the Reformation. Leland thus mentions the family; "As far as I could gather of young Walgreve, of the Courte, the eldest house of the Walgreves cummith owt of the Town of Northampton or ther about, and there yet remaineth in Northamptonshire a man of landes of that name." See Leland's Itinerary, iv. fol. 19; Morant's Essex, i. 181; Brydges's Collins, iv. 232; and the Scrope and Grosvenor Roll, ii. p. 374, for an interesting memoir of Sir Richard Waldegrave, who died in 1401, having been chosen Speaker of the House of Commons in 1381. Younger branch, Baron Radstock, of Ireland, 1800, descended from the younger brother of the fourth Earl Waldegrave. ARMS.--_Per pale argent and gules_. This coat was borne by M. Richard Waldeg've, as appears by the Roll of the reign of Richard II. Present Representative, William Frederick Waldegrave, 9th Earl Waldegrave. DISNEY OF THE HYDE, IN THE PARISH OF INGATSTONE. [Illustration] A younger branch of an ancient Knightly Norman house, settled for many years at Norton D'Isney in Lincolnshire, where the principal line became extinct in 1722. The present family descend from the eldest son by the second marriage of Sir Henry Disney of Norton Disney, who died in 1641. See very elaborate pedigrees of this family in the College of Arms, Norfolk 1, p. 38, and Norfolk 7, p. 76; also Hutchins's Dorset, iv. p. 389, for Disney of Swinderby, co. Lincoln, and of Corscomb, co. Dorset, and for the present family. See also the Topographer and Genealogist, iii. 393; and Leland's Itinerary, i. p. 28, "Disney, alias De Iseney. He dwelleth at Diseney, and of his name and line be Gentilmen yn Fraunce." ARMS.--_Argent, on a fess gules three fleurs-de-lis or_. In the reign of Richard II. Monsieur William Dysney bore, _Argent, three lions passant in pale gules_. (Roll.) Present Representative, Edgar Disney, Esq. +Gentle+ GENT OF MOYNS. [Illustration] The family of Gent was seated at Wymbish in this county in 1328. William Gent, living in 1468, married Joan, daughter and heir of William Moyne of Moyne or Moyns. His widow purchased that manor in 1494, and it has since continued the seat of this family, who were greatly advanced by Sir Thomas Gent, the Judge, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. See Morant's History of Essex, ii. 353. ARMS.--_Ermine, a chief indented sable_. Sometimes _a chevron sable_ is borne on the field. The Judge bore two spread eagles on the chief, as appears by his seal. Present Representative, George Gent, Esq. VINCENT OF DEBDEN HALL, BARONET 1620.
