Motto: Fides Amicitia periculosa Libertas. The identity of the quarterings is as follows: I Docra, 2 Danvers, 3 Bruly, 4 Pury, 5 at More, 6 Wawney. See Visitations of Oxford, Harleian Soc, vol. v, p. I, and pedigrees of Danvers, Ss'c, therein. In Lord Dockra's Fun. Ent. 4 and 5 are omitted. He can hardly have been a son, as the marriage took place before 1520 (see Col. Top. et Gen., vol. i, p. 327) of Martin Dokerey or Dockrey, and Isabel, youngest da. of Sir William Danvers, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas 1488-90. He was presumably a grandson of this marriage. He was not, however, entitled to these quarterings, as Isabel did not inherit them, her nephew, George Danvers, having left numerous male descendants. No doubt he was proud of his descent from these families. (G. D. Burtchaell). V.G. C) See Creations, 1 483-1 646, in App., 47th Rep., D.K. Pub. Records.
