The name of Homfray is derived from the
French words " Homme vrai," and the se-
veral families of Humfrey, various as the
spelling may be, claim a common proge-
nitor. The branch, of which we are now
about to treat, is the only one, however,
which has preserved the correct ortho-
graphy.

The Homfrays were distinguished amongst
the soldiers of the Cross, and they were
eminent in the early wars of the Plantage-
net Kings. The portrait of John Homfray,
living in 1390, and a gallant warrior of that
day, is still preserved in the British Mu-
seum.
