Keeper of the public records, pp. 122 and 123, for these creations. The title of " Carrington " was chosen from a traditional descent of the family from one Sir Michael Carington or Carrington, standard bearer to Richard I in the Holy Land, whose descendant, one John Carringtou, is said from his adherence to the unfortunate Richard II to have "expatriated himself" and to have for security changed his name to Smith ! It is to be observed, however, that no such descent is mentioned in the Her. Visit, of co. Leic. 1619, where the pedigree begins with Sir John Smith, Baron of the Exchequer, 1539. Sir John was son of Hugh Smith of Crossing, Essex, who was probably a yr. son of John Smith of Riven ball, Kssex, by Jlillicent da. and h. of Robert Lainham (a great heiress in that co.) the said John Smith being presumed to be the fugitive John Carrington, alias Smith, above-mentioned. The following note on this subject is in Vincent's handwriting in " Vincent's Leicestershire," one of the MSS. hi the College of Anns. " I cannot but fearo this descent from which y" Smiths of Ashby Folvill and others of that name derive themselves ; because it is scarce known that, upon any occasion, both name and arms should be changed, and Sir John Smith, Knt., Baron of y° Exchequer pave first [as the armorial ensigns of his family] Argent, on a chevron, sable, 0 jleur do lis, or: on a chief, "f the second, a lion passant, of the first, and y", after many years, y° wsue of hini gave [as sncb armorial ensigns] ,y u cross, brUcccn 4 )Kacocks, proper ; and now they llye to CARRINGTON, sed quo jure penitus ignoro. Ex libra Thomce, Baronis Urudenell, a° 1(141." All allusion to the descent from the Standard Bearer is proMihi made by the red cross on a wdiite field, (the Cross of St- George) in the Arms above quoted, and certainty iu the giant of supporters, the dexter of which is a man in armour supporting " a standard ensigned with the cross of St. George."
