The Plantagenet Roll of the Blood Royal - 1890's 1900

The Marquis of Ruvigny and Raineval, Melville Henry Massue, is credited with the creation of a number of sources relating to Jacobite Royal Blood and the creation of Peerages, Baronetage and Knightage.

The result of the creation of these documents is that geneological research will often refer to them.

It also appears that "personalised" versions of these "Family Trees" are found in archives. So far I have found two such archives. Those tracing their "Royal Heritage" seem to refer to one of the many copies of these "rolls". This seems to be particularly the case towards the end of the 19th Century. There is a note on the Roll that it was limited to five hundred and twenty copies.

There is a copy of "The Plantagenet Roll of the Blood Royal: : The Mortimer-Percy Volume" on this website. I am not sure if it is the same copy that I took the family tree of the Raymond family. It was found on the Internet Archive. The copy appears to have been "personalised" in the name of Arthur William Vaisey, Esq.

I get the impression that this was a limited copy run of the book that was avialable the those that wanted a personalised version for their own family. This edition contain a Table Showing The Descent Of Arthur William Vaisey, Esq. From Edward Iii., King Of England - I can't the reference to Samuel Milbank Raymond but this could be in volume II.

I am not sure who Arthur William Vaisey, Esq. was and he is not related to the history of Belchamp Walter. The entries for the Raymonds do appear.

Samuel Millbank Raymond

Samuel Millbank, known as "Squire" of Belchamp Walter, suceeded Samuel Junior in 1825/26 and died in 1863.

Samuel John St.Clere Raymond suceeded Samuel Millbank and later became the vicar of St. Mary's Belchamp Walter.
The estate and lordship at this time was held by Thomas Ruggles until 1865.

The death of Mr.Samuel J.ST.Clere Raymond of Belchamp Walter at the early age of 40 years has been reported after a severe illness lasting 20 weeks. He had only succeeded to the family property for six years. The bulk of the collection of art at Belchamp Hall was disposed of some years ago. At the Hall were to be seen some reliques taken out of the ships of the Spanish Armada, an ancestor of the family commanded a small vessel of the English Fleet. The fortunes of the family has been greatly affected by great depression in agriculture.
