Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Visitation of the County of Worcester Made in the Year 1569: With Other Pedigrees Relating to That County From Richard Mundy's Collection
In the year 1885 the Harleian Society issued the Visitation Of the County of Dorset taken in the year 1623, edited by Mr. Rylands. This volume is a tran script Of Harl. Ms. 1166. In examining an Old manuscript volume of Dorset shire pedigrees, nove' preserved in the Museum at Dorchester, Dr. Colby observed that it contained several pedigrees which apparently belong to the Visitation of 1623, but which do not occur in Harl. Ms. 1166, and it was considered advisable that they should be printed as Addenda to the Harleian Society's Volume.
The Dorchester manuscript also contains a few pedigrees Of early date, a number Of the pedigrees which were entered at the Visitation Of 1565 (though not in every case identical in their details with the pedigrees then recorded), and several pedigrees which are dated respectively 1625, 1626, 1627, 1628, 1630, and 1631, and which were, perhaps, entered in the College of Arms in those years. It is anticipated that the Editors, by including these pedigrees in this collection, have made an acceptable addition to printed Dorsetshire genealogy. Vide preface.
