Pg. 364
The Pelhams are a family of undoubted antiquity, and have florished in Sussex, at the head of the gentry, from the reign of Edward III. Sir John Pelham distinguished himself at the battle of Poictiers, 1356, and was one of those, who claimed the honour of taking John, king of France, prisoner; on which occasion he had granted him as a badge, the buckle of a belt; and his posterity have borne two such buckles, in a field gules, as a quartering. His son, Sir John, was equally distinguished. He appears to have been owner of a noble estate, and a great number of manors in Sussex. He was one of the executors of the will of Henry IV. and had granted to him, by Henry V. the guardianship and government of James I. of Scotland, who, from the age of thirteen, was detained in the Tower of London, thirteen years. He continued in favour with Henry VI. and died, full of honour, in the seventh of that king's reign, 1429. His son, Sir John Pelman, was chamberlain of the household to Henry V.'s consort. His son,
Pg. 365
Thomas Pelham, died 1516, leaving Sir William Pelham, who was knighted by Henry VIII. at the meeting between that monarch and the French king, between Calais and Boulagne; and died 1538. His younger son, by his second wife, (Mary Sands) was Sir William Pelham, a man of celebrity, who was lord justice of Ireland, and ancestor (by the female line) of the present Lord Yarborough. Sir Nicholas Pelham, the eldest son, (by the first wife, Mary Carew,) was knighted 1549; member of parliament for Sussex, and died 1560. His son, Sir John, was knighted, 1573, and died 1580; and was succeeded by his son, Oliver, who dying in his minority, was succeeded by his uncle, Sir Thomas, who was member of parliament for Sussex, 28 Elizabeth; and on the creation of the dignity of baronet, was advanced to that degree, May 22, 1611. He died 1624, and was succeeded by his son, Sir Thomas, who represented Sussex, in the reigns of James I, and Charles I. and seems to have favoured the parliament side, at least in the outset of the troubles; but living retired during Cromwell's usurpation, was buried with his ancestors, at laughton, Aug. 28, 1654. (His younger son, by his third wife, Sir Nicholas, was ancestor of the Pelhams of Crowburst, in Sussex.) His eldest son, Sir John Pelham, was elected member of parliament for Sussex, 1550, and continued to represent that county, during the remainder of the reign of Charles II. He died at the age of eighty, at his feat at Halland, in the parish of East-Hothley and Laughton, Jan. 26, 1703. His wife was a lady of high rank, Lucy, second daughter of Robert Sydney, second earl of Leicester. His younger son, Henry, clerk of the Pells, was grandfather of the late earl of Chichester. But Sir Thomas, the eldest son, sat in parliament for Lewe and for Sussex, from the reign of Charles II. till 1706, in which time he was a commissioner of the customs, and, in 1689, a lord of the Treasury; and having married to his second wife, Lady Grace, sister to John Holles, duke of Newcastle, was, on Dec. 29, 1705, created Lord Pelham. He died Feb. 23, 1712, leaving, by his second wife, two sons,
Pg. 366
Thomas, created duke of Newcastle; and Henry, a celebrated statesman, born 1696, "who being," says Coxe, "of a Whig family, closely attached himself to the partizans of the Brunswick line, and distinguished himself against the rebels, as a captain of dragoons, in the regiment of major-general Dormer. At the age of twenty-one, in 1718, he obtained a seat in parliament, first for the borough of Seaford, in Sussex, and afterwards for the county, which he continued to represent till his death." He was soon after the resignation of Sir Robert Walpole, nominated, 1743, to be head of the Treasury, etc.
Pg. 367
He died of a violent fever, which in five days put a period to his life, march 6, 1754, aged 60. etc. "His elder brother, Thomas, was born," says Coxe, "in Aug. 1694; and, on the death of his father, succeeded to the barony of Pelham: he inherited a large part of the great estate of his uncle, who had no issue male, and took the name of Holles. Soon after the accession of George I. he was created earl of Clare; and, in 1715, duke of Newcastle. etc.
Pg. 369
On the resignation of the premiership, in 1756, he had a new patent of a dukedom, with remainder to his nephew, Henry Clinton, earl of Lincoln, who had married Catharine, daughter and coheir of his brother Henry. etc. His grace died, Nov. 17, 1768, without issue; and was succeeded as duke of Newcastle, by Henry earl of Lincoln, and as lord Pelham of Stanmer, by Thomas
Pg. 370
Pelham, late lord Pelham, who, on June 23, 1801, was created earl of Chichester, and died 1805, when he was succeeded by, his eldest son, the present and second earl.
His lordship was born April 28, 1756; and, in 1783, went secretary to lord Northington, lord lieutenant of Ireland; and again, in the same office, to lord Camden, in 1795; he was appointed secretary of state for the home department, in 1801; and chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster, in 1803; and joint post master, in 1807. He married in 1801, lady Mary Osborne, sister to the duke of Leeds, by whom he has issue. Etc.

etc.
Another THOMAS de Pelham (son of the former, as Philpot, Somerset-herald, asserts) is mentioned in a deed dated at Warbleton, in Sussex, on the vigil of St. Philip and James, in 1346, and left issue a son, John de Pelham.
Which JOHN was a person of great fame in the reign of Edw. III. and in memory of his valiant acts, his figure in armour, with the arms of the family on his breast1, was painted in glass, in the chapter house at Canterbury, being (it's probable) a benefactor to the cathedral, or was buried there.
