Alan:
I doubt that I'll be contributing to the Antrobu search, not having answered one-tenth of the other questions I've raised or been asked, or having done all that I said I would turn to. I'll be delighted to eat the bread of the wheat harvested in the Eaton fields of Antrobus, however, and wish all well on this new pursuit.
Your tooth and hair story is a delight. perhaps we should all send you some body part for the first global study of DNA, or is it RNA.
I have made some facinating discoveries about arms in Blakeway and it is my hope to create and post a small reference from this source. I have seen, for example, for the first and only time, an arms with the Eaton/Eyton fret on the sinister side.I have also found a reference to the distinction (one raven vs. three ravens, etc.) between the prolific Corbets; one representing the barony, the other borne by the knightly family. My information, when it comes, will all be from other sources, although I will attempt to make ties where I can based on reading and observation. My thought is that, at the end, this will assist in at least matching heraldic graphics with presumptive marriages and descendancies. Perhaps it will help and not just cloud the issues further.
And, yes, hopefully this will speak to the "partially right" side. Which side is that, by the way?
And, of, the King may giveth and the King may taketh away, but it sems thast he also gives back, gives to a wife, gives to a son, a nephew or cousin. When it comes to feifdoms, for example, as well as offices, such as Sheriff and Constable, this appaears to be the case quite a bit. And, while these positions may not have been inherited, as Joe has strongly asserted, it is patently clear that their are like veins running through a family and, when they marry, perhaps because they marry, through the connecting families. It is not systematic, but it certainly seems to be a system, albeit, one that can be altered by the King, war and occupation, death of a line, etc. Three extinct baronies of the Corbet example is an ideal example of this "phenomenon."
So, my question is this: With all these brothers, sons, sons-in-law and cousins as Sheriff's, for example, just what role -- official or unofficial -- did inheritence and family pay? I ask this because the eviodence spans not only to immediate families but across centuries and reigns.
