[edit]DescriptionTwiggsArms.png |
English: Arms of Twiggs of Werrington in Devon (now in Cornwall): Azure, three bendlets or on a chief argent a bar dancettée gules (Vivian, Lt.Col. J.L., (Ed.) The Visitation of the County of Devon: Comprising the Heralds' Visitations of 1531, 1564 & 1620, Exeter, 1895, p.742). John Twiggs was Steward of the Court of the Earl of Bedford. No dates are given in Vivian, but by dedection from the dates of his descendants it would appear he was steward to either the 3rd or 4th Earls. His grandson was Richard Twiggs (will dated 1625/6, CRO AP/T/449[1]) the first in his family's pedigree described as "of Werrington", who was the father of Benjamin Twiggs (born 1616 (aged 4 in 1620), will dated 1678/9, CRO AP/T/1221) of Werrington. John Russell, 1st Earl of Bedford (c.1485–1555) was granted by King Henry VIII the estates of the dissolved Tavistock Abbey, the wealthiest abbey in Devon. Werrington was the principal manor of the honour (or feudal barony) of the abbots until the Dissolution of the Monasteries. (Risdon, Tristram (d.1640), Survey of Devon, 1811 edition, London, 1811, with 1810 Additions, p.231) The Russell family's Devonshire seat was the Blackfriars in the City of Exeter. In 1810 the steward of John Russell, 6th Duke of Bedford (1766–1839), still held courts for the manor of Werrington. (Risdon, p.412, 1810 Additions). It thus appears that the Twiggs tenure of Werrington related to the family's role as steward to the Russell family. |
