"Re: Daresbury Hall near Preston Brook, Cheshire
Having traced the descent in the direct line to the time it departed from the family, I will return to Francis Daniell, and give the history of his descendents who settled the one Branch in Devonshire and the other in Surrey. This Francis (the co-purchaser of the Estate) relinquished the quarterings of the Daresberys', which was borne only by the heir to the Estate, and took the same for his crest in lieu of the family crest. He married (if I mistake not) Helen, only daughter of Richard Mantell of Kent, and had issue, one son, James Daniell of Canterbury born 1707, who married Jane, daughter of W. Mantell of Horton Priory, Kent, and left issue two sons - Francis who married Anne daughter of George Adams of Sittingbourne, whose posterity settled in Devenshire (Knole House), and are known in connection with that county; and James Daniell, eldest son a member of the Madras Civil Service. He married Lucy Butler, the second daughter of Peregrine Butler of Dungarva, Co. Waterford. James Daniell left two sons, James the Elder, and Edward of the Madras Civil Service. The latter was unmarried, and was drowned from a ship while attempting to swim ashore in the Madras Serf. There were two daughters - Anne, who married William Brummell, brother to George, known as Beau Brummell, and whose only child married Sir Henry Pigott; and Fanny, who married the Hon. Lindsey Burell, son of Lord Gwydyr and Lady Willoughby D'Eresby, and was mother to the present Lord Gwydyr. Francis eldest son was a Director of the East India Company, and lived at Beddington Park Carshalton. He married Eliza, daughter of James Hodges (Hodges Nugent) and died 1839 leaving issue seven sons and eight daughters, namely: James Frederic Nugent, born 1789, eldest son of Esher, Surrey; Edward Maxwell, a commander, H.E.I.C.S., who married Emma T. Daughter of T. Ferrers: Anthony Steuart, who married Harriet, daughter of E. W. Ellis; Lindsay married Louisa, daughter of Baron Lorentz; Murry Pattison, died unmarried; William died young; and Matthew Raikes, married Frances, daughter of H. P. Georges. The daughters were - Honoria Anna Marria, who married John, son of Sir J. Jackson, Bart.: Catherine Georgiano, married Charles Page: Frances Amelia, married J. J. Reynolds; Aurora Mary, married Rev.

Philip le Geyt of Jersey, whose ancestors were the Cairnes' Family of Ireland and whose descent maternally was derived from a sister of Lord Darnley (Lady Elizabeth Stuart).
