Perrot's of Herefordshire 15 Apr 2024 • Comments? Corrections? Additions? Please write. |
This family was founded at Morton on Lugg in Herefordshire by John (#6 below) from Scotsborough, itself a branch of the main family from Pembroke. Altough the Hereford branch started rather humbly compared to their Pembroke relatives, it grew in wealth and prominence over time. The family came to acquire holdings in Wellington, and became known as 'of Wellington'. The final triumph in terms of wealth and prestige came when Sir James Perrott, last of the Pembrokeshire line, left his estate, including Haroldstone, to Sir Herbert Perrot (#62 below), of the Herefordshire line. Nevertheless, Barnwell (1867) questioned if this family was really related to the Pembrokeshire branch. He stated that Sir James left his estate to Sir Herbert, solely through similarity of name and not through any blood connection. Others felt likewise. Woodcock (1984), Somerset Herald, upon reviewing their pedigree noted that "the immediate conclusion is that this claim should not have been allowed without further evidence showing the descent." Apparently the contemporary Perrot's agreed; Thomas, descended from the Carmathenshire Perrots and a grandson of Sir Owen, filed a suit with the Herald's Court alleging the Hereford Perrots were not entitled to bear the traditional Perrot arms. (Barnwell, 1867). The Herefored Perrots were able to prove their ancestry entitled them to arms; they won the suit, and retained their right to use them. Further evidence of their relationship has come to ligth since then. According to Turvey (1999) the relationship between the two, while admittedly distant, is verified by the NLW roll 135 pedigree, and by the fact that the will of the first Francis Perrott (below) indicates the family had considerable land holdings in Pembrokeshire. So, while Sirs James and Herbert were related, whether Sir James knew about the relationship remains a point of discussion. They were more closely related by marriage via the Bromwitch family, which might explain the bequest. According to Barnwell (1867), this branch of the family did not use the usual Perrot arms until they obtained it from Sir James Perrot, last of the Pembrokeshire line. Instead, they used quarterly per fess indented or and azure. This arms was one of the ones quartered on that of Penelope, daughter of the last Sir Thomas Perrot, and is also considered to be the original family arms (Nichols 1870) in Kent. However, according to the London Visitation, the line of this family (John/Thomas/Richard) said to have gotten their arms from Sir James apparently had maintained the use of the traditional Perrot arms all along, with a cresent for difference. However, another line of this family (John/Thomas/Roger) had their arms respited but not dismissed. Burke's Peerage includes a James Perrot of Wellington as a member of this family. He marries a Dorothy Perrot, said to be the daughter of the last Sir Thomas Perrot of Pembrokeshire, and his wife, Dorothy Devereaux. This lineage was concocted so that Owens-Perrot descendants could claim a more noble lineage (see Damaris Perrot, below). Barnwell and other sources make it clear the existence of this James and Dorothy is ficticious. Nevertheless, the Dames of the Magna Carta have accepted the existence of James Perrot of Wellington and Dorothy Perrot. Picture: Sir Herbert Perrott (1617 - 1682). He inherited the fortune left behind by Sir James Perrott of Pembrokeshire. Based primarily on:
Where the sources conflict, personal accounts in the wills prevail over Turvey, who prevails over Barnwell & Robinson on these web pages.
