* Geoffrey and Robert de Bucklcgh stand the first and second witnesses to a deed of Quenilda de Cleg in Hunrisfeld, without date, but referred by Dr. Whitaker to the reign of Stephen. These individuals were ancestors of Geoffrey de Buckley, slain at the battle of Evesham in 1265, and he, it is believed, descended from another Geoffrey de Buckley, nephew of Geoffrey, dean of Whalloy, living in the reign of Henry II. The family continued in possession of Buckley Hall, a small moated house, until it was sold by Edward Buckley, Esq., who died in 1816 without male issue.

t This family received its local name from the hamlet of Burdishull (or Birdshill) in the township of Castlcton, and the estate was conveyed, about 1445, by Agnes, daughter and heiress of Ellis Berdeshull, in marriage to Bernard, son and heir of Alexander Butterworth of Beltield Hall, Gont. Their arms in the 17th Richard II. were gules, three arrows in pale, points down, Or, though probably not originally common arrows, but bird-bolts, alluding to the first syllable of this sur name. This was one of the quarterings of Alex. Butterworth, Esq. in 1602.

Î Robert de Lascy, younger brother of Roger do Lascy, constable of Chester, a dignity constituted by Hugh Lupus, earl of Choster, had the manor of Flamborough in the East Riding of Yorkshire conferred upon him by his brother Roger. His son, probably the individual here named, was Robert, constable of Flamborough, the grandfather of Sir Robert Constable, who was knighted 34 Edward I., and was living 13 Edward II. The family lived here in good repute until the death of Sir William Constable, Bart., in 1654.
