THE family of PEACHEY is descended, according to sir Edward Bysshe, from a younger branch of the ancient family of PECHE, of Kingsthorpe, co. Leicester. GILBERT PECHE, or Peché, great-grandson of Hamon PECHE, sheriff co. Cambridge temp. Henry III., was summoned to parliament, among the barons, from the 28th of Edward I. to the 10th of Edward II., as lord Peché, of Brune, co. Cambridge, in right of his mother, Alice, sister and co-h. of William, Peverell, baron of Brune. Sir John PECHE, whose ancestors were settled in co. Warwick, was likewise summoned from the 14th of Edward II. to the 9th of Edward III., and was otherwise a person of considerable eminence, having been successively entrusted with the important offices of governor of Warwick Castle, constable of Dover Castle, and warden of the Cinque Ports. In earlier times we find two of the name possessed in the same century of the same ecclesiastical dignity. Robert and Richard Peché, bishops of Lichfield and Coventry; the former consecrated in 1127, the latter 1162. Another sir John Peché, a knight-banneret, flourished under Henry VIII., whom he served in the offices of constable of Dover Castle, and deputy of Calais; he was seated, as his ancestors had been for the last two generations, at Lullingstone, in Kent, where he established charitable foundations, and lies buried in the church of that parish, under a superb monument, decorated with a great number of armorial bearings, illustrative of the alliances of his family.

Towards the end of the 15th century, a branch of this ancient family settled at Kingsthorpe, co. Leicester, and at Sherrow Hall, co. Derby. John Peché, whom we find about that date possessed of both these estates, left a son, John, whose son, William, had, by his wife, a da. of William Winchester, 2 sons, Henry and John. From this branch of the Pechés, and most probably from one of those sons, descends the family of which we are to treat; for, 1663, sir Edward Bysshe, clarencieux king of arms, not only confirmed their armorial ensign, without variation, to William Pechey, of Newgrove, in the parish of Petworth, co. Sussex, esq., (of whom we shall presently speak more at large,) but stated expressly in the patent, dated 20 Feb. in that year, that he had proved himself to be descended from the ancient family of Pechê, of Kingsthorpe, co. Leicester.

EDMUND PEACHEY, the earliest of lord Selsey's lineal progenitors, whom we find in Sussex, was seated at Eartham, in that

county; he had an only son, EDWARD, who d. 1657, having been twice m., and left by Anne, his 2d wife, a da. of the family of Beeche, 3 sons, 1. Edward, d. 1678, leaving issue 2 sons, and 2 das.; 2. WILLIAM, and 3. John, who was twice m., and d. 25 May 1695, leaving an only child, Elizabeth, m. sir Richard Farrington, knt., and 2 das., Anne, and Sarah.

WILLIAM, the 2d son, (to whom the before-mentioned patent passed in 1663, declaring his descent from the Pechés, co, Leicester,) m. Mary, da. and co-h. of Hall, of Petworth, esq., by whom he had issue,

1. Sir HENRY, 1st bart.

2. EDWARD, d. unm.

son, succeeded him, and was killed at the battle of Dupplin; he was succeeded by his son, James de Dundas, who resigned the barony of Fingask to king David, and got a new charter to his son, John de Dundas, 1364, to be held of the king as honourably as his predecessors did. John, his son, got a charter from king Robert, 1371, of the said barony, which was confirmed by Murdoch, duke of Albany, governor of Scotland, in the absence of king James I., dated 24 May 1430, which is to his heirs male by Christian Stuart, da. to Inermaith and Lorn, by Christian, sister to the said duke of Albany; 1431, he was succeeded by his eldest son, James, m. Euphan, da. of sir Alexander Livingstone, ancestor to the earl of Linlithgow, who was succeeded by Alexander, his son; which Alexander, together with four of his brothers, was killed at the battle of Flodden 1513, leaving a son, Alexander, by Isabel, da. of Laurence, lord Oliphant, who succeeded him in the said arony of Fingask, and m.
