Gresebrok, in Yorkshire (Vol. viii., p. 389.).—To assist your correspondent Ἡραλδικος, I may tell him that the family he inquires about now resides at Horton Castle and Audenham in Staffordshire. Many years ago, when I took some interest in genealogy, I had the pleasure of being a guest of this family; and I then heard it said, that they could trace a very ancient and brilliant line from one Osbert, who married a great heiress at the Conquest, and that they were direct descendants of the ancient kings of England. Some of Mr. Burke's publications I think would assist Ἡραλδικος; not having them by me, I cannot give the exact reference; but some months ago I saw, either in the Landed Gentry, or in the Visitations, a note of the family.[6] But I think, if your correspondent could by any means see Mr. Grazebrook's papers (as above noted), he would obtain all the particulars he may require.
