Together with notes from the inscriptions attached, Vol.II, Norwich, 1889, pp.195, 193[2]; Burke, Sir Bernard, The General Armory, London, 1884, p.1114) (The Budgell family might also have been expected to be a source of these arms, for the 1st Baron Graves's mother Elizabeth Budgell, a daughter of Reverend Gilbert Budgell, of Parish of St. Thomas, Exeter, Devon, and sister of the writer w:Eustace Budgell, who committed suicide in 1737, unmarried. Her other two brothers died unmarried, as did her sister. She was therefore an heraldic heiress. " Dr. Budgell had been twice married, and by his first lady left five children living after him, three of whom were sons, Eustace, our author, Gilbert, a Clergyman, and William, the fellow of New College in Oxford. By his last wife (who was Mrs. Fortescue, mother to the late master of the rolls, and who survived him) he had no issue". See biography of Eustace Budgell by Colley Cibber (THE LIVES OF THE POETS OF Great-Britain and Ireland. By Mr. CIBBER, and other Hands, VOL. V, LONDON: Printed for R. GRIFFITHS, in St. Paul's Church-Yard. MDCCLIII [3]) Arms not listed in Burke's General Armory).
