Hfncaae.




The Eystonshave enjoyed their Berkshire
estates, in the male line, since the reign of
Henry VI. but inherit them from families in
whose possession they were at a much earlier
period.

Robert de Turbeville was seised of a
manor in East Hendred, early in the reign
of Henry III. and from him the estate passed
to

Richard de Turbeville, who lived temp.
Edward I. and left an only daughter and
heiress,

Amicia de Turbeville, who espoused Wil-
liam de Arches, and was s. at her decease by
her son,

William de Arches, knight for Berks in
1336, whose son,

John de Arches, also represented that
county in the 8th and 14th of Richard II.
and 4th and 6th of Henry IV. He left at
his decease a son and heir,

William Rawlin de Arches, who dying
without male issue, his estates passed to his
only daughter and heiress,

Maud de Arches, who conveyed those,
(since denominated the manor of Arches,)
with other territorial possessions to her hus-
band, John Stowe, of Burford, in the county
of Oxford, whose name occurs in the list of



Berkshire gentry of 1433. The only daugh-
ter and heiress of this marriage,

Isabel Stowe, espoused

John Eyston, (whose family had, for three
generations before, possessed a manor in
Isleworth, in Middlesex, now belonging to
the Duke of Northumberland,) and was s.

living there in 1494, who was father of

was s. by his son,

espoused, secondly, Jane, daughter and co-
heir of Thomas Berington, of Streatly, in the
county of Berks, and had several children,
by the eldest of whom,

William Eyston, esq. he was succeeded
at his decease, in 1590. This gentleman
m. Mary, daughter and co-heir of James
Thatcher, esq. of Priesthawes, in Sussex, by
whom he had fourteen children. Adhering to
the tenets of the Roman Catholic religion, Mr.
Eyston had his lands repeatedly sequestered
during the reign of Charles I. He d. in
1649, and was s. by his eldest son,

William Eyston, esq. b. in 1611, who in.

William Congreve, the celebrated
dramatist, b. in 1672.

This distinguished person is
spoken of in terms of admiration
by every English writer who has
had occasion to mention his name.
Steele made him the patron of his
Miscellany, and Pope inscribed
to him the translation of the
Iliad. Placed by circumstances
beyond the pecuniary anxieties
of an author's profession, he is
said to have affected contempt
for the profession itself. The
anecdote of his telling Voltaire
when he came to visit him, that
he desired to be considered as a
gentleman solely, and not in the
light of an author, is one of the
mortifying proofs that the highest
gifted minds are not always the
strongest. The latter years of
Congreve's life were rendered
miserable by sickness and in-
firmity. Catarrhs in his eyes
produced at length total blind-
ness, and repeated attacks of
gout prematurely undermined his




This family, one of the most eminent in
the county of Stafford, was settled at Con-
greve soon after the Conquest, and thence
derived its surname.

men upon whom King Charles II. intended

constitution. He sought relief
from the waters at Bath, but the
accident of being overturned in
his carriage, left a permanent
pain in his side, and, probably,
accelerated his death, which oc-
curred in January, 1729, in the
sixtieth year of his age. The re-
mains of the poet were interred
with great solemnity in West-
minster Abbey, and Henrietta,
Duchess of Marlborough, erected
a monument to his memory. To
this lady, who is said to have en-
tertained a most romantic regard
for him, he bequeathed the great
bulk of his fortune. Congreve's
occasional poems are so far be-
low mediocrity, that we have not
deemed it necessary at all to al-
lude to them. As a dramatist,
his fame is imperishable, and he
stands, if not at the head, in the
very first class of writers of co-
medy. Not so much, however,
for his humorous and natural
portraits, as for those of eccen-
tricity. His wit, indeed, flashes
upon us almost to annoyance,
and it is often difficult to distin-
guish the false humour of his
fools from the genuine sallies of
his lively characters. We shall
conclude these observations with
Congreve's literary character,
from the pen of Doctor John-
son. " Congreve has merit of
the highest kind ; he is an
original writer, who borrowed
neither the model of his plot,
nor the manner of his dialogue.
He formed a peculiar idea of
comic excellence, which he sup-
posed to consist of gay remarks
and unexpected answers, but that
which he endeavoured he seldom
failed of performing. His scenes
exhibit not much of imagery or
passion ; his personages are a
kind of intellectual gladiators —
every sentence is to ward or
strike ; but they are the work of
a mind replete with images, and
quick in combination."

John Congreve, esq. of Congreve, who

BASTARD, OF KITLEY.



BASTARD, EDMUND-POLLEXFEN, esq. of Kitley, Devonshire, b. 12th July,

1784, m. 22nd January, 1824, the Honorable Anne-Jane
Rodney, only surviving daughter of George, second Baron
Rodney, of Rodney Stoke, (by Anne, daughter and co-
heiress of the Right Honorable Thomas Harley, of Ber-
rington, in the county of Hereford,) and has issue,

Edmund-Rodney-Pollexfen, b. 7th September, 1825.
Baldwin-John-Pollexfen, b. 11th March, 1830.
William-Pollexfen, b. 12th January, 1832.

Mr. Bastard, who represented the county of Devon in
several parliaments, succeeded to the estates upon the
demise of his father, in 1816.

Ufnractt.




The family of Bastard has been seated in
Devonshire ever since the Conquest. Robert
Bastard appears in Domesday Book to have
had grants of Efford Meavy, Stonehouse,
Blackford, Badestone, Haraldesore, Cumbe,
L>unestantone, and Bicheford, all in the
county of Devon. His descendants have
intermarried with the heiresses of Crispin
and of Killiowe, in the county of Cornwall, and
into the families of Fitz-Stephen, Besilles,
Damarell, Gilbert, Reynell, Hele, and Bamp-
fylde, and have at different periods served
as sheriffs of the county. Their seat for
many generations was at Garston, near
Kingsbridge, until about the end of the se-
venteenth century.

William Bastard, esq. by marriage with
the heiress of Pollexfen, of Kitley, acquired
that estate, which has since been the family
residence. His son,

Pollexfen Bastard, esq. of Kitley, in.
Lady Bridget Poulett, daughter of John, first
Earl Poulett, and was s. at his decease in
1733, by his eldest son,

William Bastard, esq. of Kitley. In
1779, a powerful French fleet appearing in
the Channel, great alarm was excited for
the safety of the Dock Yard and Arsenal at
Plymouth, on account of a large number of
French prisoners confined there, for the re-
moval of whom no troops could be spared
from the garrison, already insufficient for
the defence of the place. Mr. Bastard, as

I.



a reward for his services in conducting these
prisoners to Exeter, assisted only by the
gentry and peasantry of the neighbourhood
whom he had collected on the occasion, was
created a baronet by his late Majesty. The
title was gazetted in 1779, hut lias never been
assumed. He in. Ann, daughter of Thomas
Worsley, esq. of Hovingham, in the county
of York, and had issue,

John-Pollexfen, his successor.
Edmund, who inherited the estates, upon
his brother's decease.
Mr. Bastard was s. at his decease, in 1782,
by his elder son,

elected in 1784 member for Devon, which
county he continued to represent until his
death. Hew. Sarah, widow of — Wymonde-
sold, esq. of Lockinge, in the county of Berks,
by whom he acquired the estates belonging
to that family, but dying without issue in
