to H. Legge, esq. and his issue male ; re-
mainder to L. Bagot, Bishop of Norwich,
and his issue male ; remainder to W.
Digby, esq. and his issue male ; and, lastly,
remainder to the right heirs of the said Sir
Lister Holte. Sir Charles left only one
daughter, and the estates, thus in reversion,
were estimated at about £800,000, in fee.
In 1817, an act of parliament was obtained
for the dismemberment of the estates, to
satisfy the claims of the assignees and mort-
gagees of Abraham Bracebridge, esq. and
other family claims, as well as to indemnify
Mr. Legge and Mr. Digby, (both being
without heirs male,) for the resignation of
their respective interests. Under this act

Mr. Wellwood *-. to the estates upon the demise issueless of his brother in 1820.



Uintaot.




The Wellwoods of Souch and Garvock
are of long standing, and considerable anti-
quity . They were originally nobles of Den-
mark, but the degree of rank which they
enjoyed in that kingdom, before their settle-
ment in Scotland, cannot now be ascer-
tained. The name, anciently written Ve-
loved, Velvod, Welwod, was brought into
North Britain by a Danish courtier, en-
trusted by the King of Denmark with the
conduct to Scotland of his daughter, Prin-
cess Anne, the queen consort to King J a me s VI.
This honorable personage, bearing the name
of Velvud, received from his royal mistress
the lands of Souch (which have ever since
formed part of the estate), and the armorial
bearings of the house.

Velvud of Souch, son of the founder,
left two sons, viz.

1. William, his heir.

2. Henry, whose son,

Sir Thomas Wellwood, b. in 1652,
was a physician, and an historical
writer of eminence. He studied



at Glasgow, whence he removed
into Holland with his parents, who
were compelled to flee from Scot-
land, in consequence of being sus-
pected of aiding in the murder of
Archbishop Sharpe. Having com-
pleted his education at Leyden,
and taken the degree of M.D., he
returned with King William at
the revolution. Being involved in
debt, he borrowed money about
this time from the Laird of Gar-
vock, his cousin, promising to re-
pay him when he should come to
London. Garvock, contrary to his
expectations, did visit that city
some years subsequently, when Dr.
Wellwood presented his relation at
court, as the chief of his family,
but never paid the debt. Dr.
Thomas Wellwood was afterwards
knighted, and appointed one of the
royal physicians for Scotland. He
attained great eminence in his pro-
fession, and acquired a consider-
able fortune. Sir Thomas Well-
wood was author of Memoirs of
England, from the year 1588 to
1688, 8vo. : a work of merit, though
occasionally tinctured with the pre-
judices and prepossessions of one,
who had been a sufferer in the civil
contests of the period to which his
History refers. He d. in 1716.
The elder son of the second possessor of
Souch,

William Wellwood, esq. of Souch, es-
poused, in 1635, Margaret, youngest daugh-
ter of Nichol Wardlaw of Wester-Luscar,

dying unmarried, left to the son of his bro-
ther's daughter, Sir Henry Moncrieff, the
castle and estate of Tulliebole, upon condi-
tion that he bore the surname of Wellwood,
and quartered the Moncrieff coat with the

KINGSCOTE, OF KINGSCOTE.

KINGSCOTE, ROBERT, esq. of Kinoscote, in the county of Gloucester, b. 15th
April, 1754, Colonel of the North Gloucester militia.

Colonel Kingscote succeeded his uncle in 1773, and never having married, entailed
his estates upon the children of his brother, the late Thomas Kingscote, esq.




" It may be said," says Smythe, of Nib-
ley, " of this family, as doubtless of noe
other in the county of Gloucester, nor, I
think of many others in this kingdome, that
the present Mr. Kingscote, and his lineal
ancestors have continued in this manor
nowe about 500 yeares, never attainted, nor
dwellinge out of it elsewhere, nor hath the
tide of his estate higher or lower flowed or
ebbed, in better or worse condition ; but
like a fixed star in his firmament to have
remained without motion in this his little
orbe, without any remarkable change ; and
as to the name of the first ancestor that is
not perished, Ansgerus; it importeth that
it is hereditary Saxon."
This

Ansgerus, living in 985, was grand-
father of

Nigell Fitz-Arthur, who wedded Ade-
va, daughter of Robert Fitz-Hardinge,
grandson of Sueno, the third King of Den-
mark, by Eva, niece of William the Con-
queror. With this lady he received as
dower the manor of Kingscote, (called in
Domesday Book, Chingescote), and he had
by her, two sons,
Adam, his heir.

Robert, living in 1241, who had issue,
Nigell, eventually inheritor of

Kingscote.
Richard, heir to his brother.
The elder son,



Adam de Kingscote, of Kingscote, had
a confirmation of that manor in 1188, from
his uncle, Lord Maurice Fitz-Hardinge.
He d. — and was buried in Bristol cathe-
dral, and was s. by his only son,

Richard de Kingscote, of Kingscote,
who died issueless in 1241, and was s. by
his kinsman,

Nigell de Kingscote, who thus became
" of Kingscote." This Nigell was s. by his
brother,

Richard de Kingscote, of Kingscote,
living in 1286, father of

Nigell de Kingscote, of Kingscote, mas-
ter of the horse under Maurice, second
Lord Berkeley, who died in the 12th of
Edward II. and was s. by his son,

William de Kingscote, of Kingscote,
living in 1329, father of

Nicholas de Kingscote, of Kingscote, a
gallant soldier, who accompanied King
Edward III. in his French wars, and was
present at the battle of Poictiers. His son
and heir,

William (or Henry) de Kingscote,
adopting like his father the profession of
arms, shared in the glory of Azincourt.
He was s. by his grandson,

William Kingscote, of Kingscote, who
wedded the daughter of Byres, and was
living in the time of Edward IV. His son
and successor,

William Kingscote, of Kingscote, es-
poused Anne, daughter of — Stylesbury,
and dying in 1525, was s. by his son,

William Kingscote, of Kingscote, who
