Sir William Luttley, Knight, of Munslow Hall, co. Salop, whose
lineal descendant, John Luttley, Esq. was of Bromcroft Castle, in
the same county, 1623. Philip Luttley, Esq. of Lawton Hall, co.
Salop, great-grandson of John last-named, married Penelope, only
daughter of Richard Barneby, Esq. of Brockhampton; and their son,
Bartholomew, succeeding to the Barneby estates, assumed that name;
and was grandfather of the late John Barneby, Esq. M. P. for the

Condover, and county of Salop, where Thomas and Roger de Berington
were living in the reigns of Edward I. and II. Another Thomas,
living in the time of Edward III., married Alice, daughter of Sir
John Draycot, Knight, and was ancestor of John Berington, of
Stoke-Lacy, in this county, who, about the reign of Henry VII.
married Eleanor, daughter and heir of Rowland Winsley, of Winsley,
Esq. From this marriage the present Mr. Berington is tenth in
descent.
From Roger de Berington, brother of Thomas first-named, the
Beringtons of Shrewsbury and of Moat Hall, co. Salop, traced their
descent. Thomas Berington, of Moat Hall, Esq. who died in 1719,
married Anne, daughter of John Berington, of Winsley, Esq.; and the
last heir male of their descendants, Philip Berington, Esq. dying
s.p. in 1803, devised his Shropshire estates to his kinsman, Mr.
Berington, of Winsley.
From the MSS. of Mr. Joseph Morris, of Shrewsbury, and Eyton's
