Mss. says, "Sed Quære quia dubitatur arma non assignantur Thomas nunc viventi cognominati' Jackson, donec habeatur opinio et consensus Thomæ Lascells de Sowreby, Armiger." But it is a query, because it is doubted, arms are not assigned to Thomas, now living, named Jackson, until the opinion and consent of Thomas Lascelles of Sourby, Esq., is had.

Top. vol. 1, p. 285. * Francis Lascelles, Esq., was a Committee man both to the Parliament and the Protector Oliver. He went into the Par. army, and became a Colonel, and in Sep., 1648, he and Col. Bethel were sent to assist at the siege of Scarbro', because 300 Walloons had been sent thither by the Prince of Wales; and they soon took the castle and town, with many prisoners. He was entirely in the interest of the army, who procured his name to be put in the Commission to try the King, and he sat in the Painted Chamber on Jan. 8, 10, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 25, and in Westminster Hall, 20, 22; but he did not attend on the day when sentence was passed, nor signed the warrant, so that he was in no danger at the Restoration, and was returned a member in the Convention Parliament, though a known republican. He was probably in himself a very private gentleman, fit for no other employment than the part he took in the army; for his name never occurs but as a Committee man for his own county ever after. Perhaps he had retired thither and chose to reside upon his own paternal estate, a child of 2 weeks old at the visitation 1612, heir to his grandfather, 4 Chas. I., then aged 15 years and 4 months, ut per Inq. he was justice of peace and colonel in the army of the Parliament, and was elected representative in Parliament for the North Riding of Yorkshire, in the Parliaments summoned to meet 1653, 1654, and 1656.

Mary, baptized at Sigston, 7 Feb., 1635, mar. there 25 Jan., 1658, to Richard Shipton, of Lythe, in the county of York. without interesting himself farther in Government affairs, from which he was so distant. He married Frances, daughter of Sir William St. Quintin, created a Baronet by King Charles I. Eng. Regicides. In the list of Noblemen and Gentlemen who are named in the " Ordinances of Parliament" for raising money and forces under Lord Fairfax, and who subscribed the Solemn League and Covenant, or were otherwise employed in support of the Parliamentary cause, are the following names : Francis Lascelles, M.P., Thomas Lascelles, M.P., Peregrine Lascelles. In 1653, after the Battle of Worcester, among the M.P.'s, Francis Lascelles is returned as one of the four sent from the North Riding. In Sep., 1656, he was returned again for the N. Riding. It is rather a remarkable circumstance, that by the marriage of Francis Lascelles with the daughter of Sir William St. Quintin, his great-grandson Henry Lascelles, Esq., the purchaser of the Harewood estates, should descend from both the families of ALDBURGH and GASCOIGNE, the former lords of Harewood and Gawthorpe, in this manner : From ALDBURGH: The d. of Aldburgh mar. Ryther; the d. of Ryther mar. Babthorpe; the d. of Babthorpe mar. Crake, of Cottingham; the d. of Crake mar. St. Quintin; the d. of St. Quintin mar.
