Barony. 1, Edward Griffin, of Braybrooke and Dingley, co. I 168S Northampton, s. and h. of Sir Edward G. of the same, by Frances, da.

Col. of the Duke of York's Reg. of Foot Guards, was by him (when King, as James II), cr. by letters ( : >) See vol. iii, p. 9, note " a," sub " Daere," as to this claim being probably in right of the old [1307] Barony of Mutton of Gillesland. It is possible, however, that it was in right of the Barony of Greystock which, if the sitting of 1295 (of which there is proof) was allowed, would certainly precede the date of the Barony of Morley, but the succession of the Lords Dacre to the Peerage Barony of Greystock seems never to have been fully acknowledged unless perhaps by the writs issued to Dacre de Grcystok which were, however, not persisted in, being followed by writs to Dacre de Gillesland under which designation the last Baron was sum. on 30 Sep. (1566), S Eliz. ( b ) See vol. iii, p. 9, note " d," for the coheirs, which were his three sisters all of whom m. into the family of Howard, tho' two only left issue, Vis. (1) Ann, who inherited Greystock and who m. Philip (Howard), Earl of Arundel, ancestor of the Dukes of Norfolk, and (2) Elizabeth, who m. Lord William Howard. Mr. Courthope adds that "the Barony of Greystock has by many writers been ascribed to the Dukes of Norfolk, the representatives of Ann, the eldest coheir. If the abeyance was terminated by the Crown in favour of the Dukes of Norfolk, but which, is extremely doubtful, the Barony must now be in abeyance solely betweeu the Lords Petre and Stourton, as representatives of the coheirs of Philip, far. of Edward, Duke of Norfolk ; and, if tho abeyance bo not terminated, these noblemen would be the coheirs of one moiety of the Barony as the representatives of Ann Dacre, the eldest sister and coheir of George Lord Dacre abovemeutioned ; and tho Earl of Carlisle, as tho representative of Elizabeth Dacre, tho youngest sister and coheir, is the other coheir of the Barony of Greystock."
