SHROPSHIRE GENEALOGIES -- A COMPILATION OF GENEALOGICAL TEXTS. Visitation of Shropshire of 1623 made by Robert Treswell, Somerset Herald, and Augustine Vincent, Rouge Croix Pursuivant of Arms, copied with additions from the Visitation of 1584 made by Richard Lee Portcullis and from other genealogies chiefly for Shropshire families, manuscript on paper [England, second half of the 17th century], c.176 pages, small folio (369 x 235mm), (occasional staining and small tears to the leaves, these largely confined to the margins). Original natural vellum (stained and worn at edges and spine).
This copy is derived from a manuscript once in the possession of Frances Newport, 1st Earl of Bradford (1620-1708), M.P. for Shrewsbury, later Lord Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum of Shropshire, the text representing the most contemporary and full genealogical record of the notable families of 17th-century Shropshire.
