Mrs ........ Gregge, 1634.
Daughter to Edward Gregg of Chester,
dyed the 22nd January 1633[-4].
Arms: Or, three trefoils between two
chevronels Sable; a martlet of the first
for difference.
[The blazon for the martlet is, in this
instance, quite specific however, it is,
in my humble opinion, rather unfortunate
that the mark of cadency is recorded as
Or. This leaves little option but to place
it upon the chevronel thus forcing it to
be rather small]
