Power Heraldry

by Frank R. Power

Comments and questions are welcome. frankrpower@aol.com

Heraldry is the study of coats of arms that are inherited symbols, or devices, called charges, displayed on a shield, or escutcheon, for

the purpose of identifying individuals or families. It involves the art of devising, granting, and blazoning arms, tracing genealogies,

and determining and ruling on questions of rank or protocol.

Heraldry and genealogy have a long, collaborative relationship. Heraldry requires a knowledge of genealogy and heraldry has often been used as

evidence to support genealogical conclusions. The basic role of both heraldry and genealogy is to identify and place individuals within the context

of their families and if done well, within the wider historical context in which they lived. Heraldry can provide excellent clues and pointers to

ancestry.

The following tabulation of Power and related names, coats of arms, geographical locations, blazons (text descriptions), crests and mottoes, source

references and notes along with the attached geographic distribution map are intended as a starting point for the use of heraldry in fleshing out our

Power family history.

WASHBORNE, of Washborne, Wickenford, and Stanford.—This ancient knightly family was seated at

Little Washborne, in Overbury, before the reign of Edward III. Roger de Washborne, living about the reign of Edward III., had two sons, both named John. The elder married Katherine Tromwyn, but by her, who married, secondly, Sir John Musard, knt., he had no issue. He was succeeded by his grand-nephew, John Washborne, of Washborne and Stanford, the son of Peter Washborne, who was the son of John, the

younger son of Roger de Washborne. John Washborne was twice married: by his first wife, Joan, daughter and heiress of Sir John Musard (by Katherine, his wife, widow of the aforesaid John Washborne the elder), he had issue an only child, Isolda,* who was married to John Salwey, and carried with her the Stanford estates. His second wife was Margaret, the daughter and co-heiress of John Poher, lord of

Wichenford, by whom he was father of Norman Washborne, who, says Nash, after various law suits with the Salweys, retired to his mother's estate at Wichenford, where the family continued for six generations, intermarrying with the Kynastons, Myttons, Staples, Tracys, Savages, Lygons, &c. The family appeared at the two Visitations of 1569 and 1634. Their pedigree in the latter Visitation was entered and attested by John Clent, of Knightwick, on

behalf of his stepson, John Washborne, of Wichenford, then aged about fifteen years, and who was "cosen and heir of John,* his great grandfather."

Mr. Clent had married Lettice, tide Littleton, the widow of William Washborne, who died before 1634,

in the lifetime of his grandfather, and had left issue two infant children, the said John and a daughter, Mary. The direct male line of the Washbornes of Wichenford expired in the person of William Washborne, who sold Wichenford in 1712 to Mr. Skynner, and afterwards resided at Pytchley, in Northamptonshire. By his wife, Hester, daughter and co-heiress of Sir John Ernie, knt, he had issue a

daughter and heiress named Elizabeth, who was married in 1723 to Francis Money, and was ancestress of the family of Money-Kyrle, of Much Marcle, co. Hereford.—Argent, on a fesse between six martlets gules, three quatrefoils of the field; quartering Ermine, a chief bendy sinister of six or and sable, for D'Abitot; and Gules, a fesse or in chief two mullets argent, for Poher.

For pedigrees of this family see “The Visitations of the County of Oxford,” printed by the Harleian Society, pp. 209—211 It seems clear that the arms granted by Camden ín 1601 to Francis Power were founded on those of D’Amory. Whether the Irish coat was included on account of a descent from that ancient stock or merely to do duty as “Power ancient,” does not appear.
