( b ) This Raymond (or Redmond) was yr. br. of Hervey (Morres), 1st Viscount Mountmorres [I.], being 3d and yst. s. of Francis Morres, of Castle Morres, co. Kilkenny, by Catharine, da. and h. of Sir William Evans, of Kilcreen, in that county. ( c ) This lie. extended to Viscount Mountmorres [I.] as well as to Baron Frankfort [1.] and others. It seems altogether to have been rather "a large order," as also rather " a long pull " (extending over a little matter of some 700 or 800 years, vi:., from the time of the Regency back to that of the Conquest) being probably founded on the statement (as in "Lodge," V, 289, sub "Mountmorres") that "the family of Morres or Morreis descended from the house of Mont- morency came into England with William the Conqueror," &c, &c. It is to be noted that the arms of Morres [or, a fess dancette, in base a lion rampant, so.) as previously born by the family (see " Lodge," V, 292, and [for the plates] I, 35), are totally different from those (Ary. a cross, gu., between 4 eagles displayed, sa.) of the old (historic) French family of Montmorency which were the arms subsequently borne by this (nineteenth century) Irish Peer on the ground of an alleged descent from the illustrious race of Montmorency ; a descent which (if capable of proof) must have taken place centuries ago— long before the family of Morres was established in these realms of England or Ireland. 2c
