"Our paternal ancestry is the Irish branch of a noble
house, among the most ancient and worthy in England, the Devonshire Courtenays.
It has continued in that country, with varying fortunes, since 1151, when
Reginald (or Renaud), the first of the name in Great Britain, came from
France with the Duke of Normandy, afterward, King Henry II."
