SALWEY OF MOOR PARK.
[Illustration] About the reign of Henry III. William Salwey was Lord
of Leacroft, a hamlet in the parish of Cannock in Staffordshire;
hence the family removed to Stanford in Worcestershire; of' which
John Salwey was owner in the third of Henry IV. But this estate was
carried by an heiress to Sir Francis Winnington in the reign of
Charles II. Richard Salwey, younger brother of Edward Salwey of
Stanford, was seated at Richard's Castle in the county of Hereford
at the time of the Protectorate. His grandson Richard was of the
Moor Park, where he died in 1759, and was succeeded by his
great-nephew, whose grandson is the present representative of this
ancient family. See Erdeswick's Staffordshire, ed. 1844, p.

POULETT OF HINTON ST. GEORGE, EARL POULETT 1706; BARON 1627.
[Illustration] Paulet, in the hundred of North Petherton in this
county, gave name to this historical family, the first on record
being Sir William de Paulet, who died in 1242. He was of Leigh in
Devonshire, which, with Rode in Somersetshire, successively became
the family seat. Hinton St. George, which came from the heiress of
Denebaud in the reign of Henry VI., is noticed by Leland as "a right
goodly manor place of fre stone, with two goodly high tourres
embattled in the ynner court," and has ever since remained the seat
of this the elder branch of the family. The Marquesses of Winchester
(1551) and the extinct Dukes of Bolton descend from William second
son of Sir John Paulet of Paulet, who died in 1378. They were of
Basing in Hampshire, derived through the heiress of Poynings from
the great house of St.John, in the reign of Henry VI.
