EMC P1:
The Family of Chadwick is said to have descended from a Saxon
Chieftain, Cedde or Ceadde, who, at the time of the Norman
Conquest, lived at a place near the borders of Yorkshire and
Lancashire named from him Ceaddes-wyke - Chad's Stronghold - and
from which his descendants subsequently took the surname De
Chaddewyck. The main line of the family continued seated in this
place until the present century, when it terminated in a sole
heiress, Sarah Chadwick, who died unmarried in 1822, when the
property passed into the hands of strangers, and the senior
representation of the family devolved upon Chadwick of Healey
Malesyn-Ridware V.V. The Name has in the course of time undergone
a variety of changes of form and spelling; prior to the 15th
Century, Ceaddewyck, Ceaddewyk, Chaddewyc, from 1445 to 1454,
Chadweke, Chaddwyk and Schadweke; from 1454 to 1479 Chadwik,
Chadwck, Chadwike, Chadwic and Chadwyc; from 1480 to 1575,
Chadwike and Chadwyk; from 1520 to 1617, Chadwycke; from 1617 to
1688, Chadwicke: and since that date Chadwick. The writer has been
informed of a curious survival of the kisyllabic (?) form: among
the United Empire Loyalists who settled in Canada, when the
American States became independent, was a Professor Chadwick, who
although spelling his name in the modern form, pronounced it Chad-
e-wick. There are also
EMC Page 3
diminutives of the name which appears in the various forms
following:- Chaddock, Chadock, Chadwickee, Chideck, Chideock, and
Chidiok: these variations of the name are doubtless a mark of
cadency distinguishing a junior branch. The name also appears as
Chattock, Shattuck and Sedgewick, variously spelled.
The antiquity of the ancestral stock and the identity of the
arms of the numerous families bearing the names mentioned,
evidence the fact that all those families are descendants of a
common ancestor.
The arms are all the same, with a difference of tincture, as
those (anciently) of the borough of Rochdale, co. Lancaster. It is
said that Ceadde in order to retain his lands, became a vassal of
the (probably Norman) De-Rachdale, and in accordance with a well
known heraldic custom, assumed his arms with a distinguishing
variation of tincture. The arms of De Rachdale, also called
Richdale and Rishall, are as were, also those of the Borough of
Rochdale. Sa. within an orle of eight martlets and inescutcheon,
arg, the ancient arms of Chadwick being precisely the same, in a
field of sa. The Crest is sometimes a Martlet and sometimes a
White Lily or Flag, both being combined in some modern instances.
- The White Lily, when not borne as a Crest, may be appropriately
used as a Badge.
Footnote to P4: A recent work, "History of the Parish of
Rochdale" discredits the above account, because there is
no record of Rochdale having been held by a family of
that name, at the same time admitting the force of the
identity of the arms. It is probable that the King's
vassal who held this District may have assumed the name
De Rochdale from the place, previously so called and may
have held the lands for but a short time.
The motto is a fragment of Latin verse, and has a double
significance, as the Latin word "Condor" has primarily the meaning
EMC Page 5:
bright or pure whiteness and secondarily, purity, sincerity or
uprightness, so that the motto may be translated "beauty (or
honour) in whiteness", with especial reference to the white lily
as the emblem of purity with which idea the white martlets are
also consistent or "honour in sincerity" (or uprightness"); thus
forming in its comprehensive signification, a motto worth
endeavouring "to live up to". This motto should always accompany
the crest in case of branches of the family using a second or
special motto - the latter to be placed beneath the shield.
The name and arms being both of about the same date, it
follows that all persons who bear the name, in any of its forms,
by inheritance are entitled to bear the arms. In cases where
junior branches have not had any difference assigned to them, the
arms are the Auncient Coat - gu. within an orle of eight martlets,
an inescutcheon arg. (as shown in the initial letter on the first
page above). - Crest, a white lily, slipped, stemmed and leaved,
pro. with the motto above described.- These arms however, should
be distinguished by at least some mark of cadency.-
Three different coats are borne by the Irish branch of the
family. All descendants of John Craven Chadwick (qui obt. 1851),
other than the Cooper-Chadwicks, bear per pale gu. and sa. within
an orle of eight martlets an inescutcheon, arg. charged with a
cross of the first and in the first quarter, a crescent of the
second for difference. Crest, a martlet arg. bearing in his bill a
white lily, slipped and leaved pro. borne fessways, the flower
thereof to the sinister. The mottoes, In candore decus, and
toujours pret. Cadets of descent from any ancestor prior to John
Craven Chadwick above mentioned, bear gu. within an orle of eight
martlets, arg. an inescutcheon of the same, charged with a cross
of the first; a crescent for difference. Crest, a martlet arg.
Motto In candore decus. These arms (without the crescent) are
depicted in an old Drawing at Ballinard, executed probably in the
17th Century. The white, or silver, used in this Drawing was of an
inferior quality and has long ago become completely discoloured,
but there can be no doubt as to what it was originally. Some of
the cadets bearing this Coat use the motto Toujours pret.
The Cooper-Chadwicks bear a new grant dated 10th March 1855,
made upon the marriage of Catherine Chadwick to Richard Cooper, a
very different Coat - Quarterly: 1st and 4th or. within an orle of
eight martlets, sa. an inescutcheon gu. charged with a white lily
slipped and leaved pro. for Chadwick: 2nd and 3rd per pale
indented arg. and sa. three bulls passant counterchanged, a
canton arg: for Cooper Crests, a martlet sa. charged on the breast
with a crescent arg. and bearing in his bill a white lily as in
the arms for Chadwick and, on a mount vert. a bull passant, per
pale, arg. and sa. gorged with a collar dancette as for Cooper.
There is no motto mentioned in the Grant, but the Cooper-Chadwicks
are of course, entitled to bear the general family motto. They
have sometimes used the motto, Stans cum rege, buut erroneously,
as that is peculiar to Chadwick of Healy and Mavesyn-Ridware.
On the special grant of arms to Richard and Catherine Cooper-
Chadwick, a question arises as to the rights of issue of the
second marriage of Richard Cooper-Chadwick. The grant, clear
enough for its immediate purpose, has been rendered ambiguous by
subsequent events. The writer is not aware of its construction
having been any time officially determined. In the absence of any
such official dictum, the question is whether it is to be
construed 1. Strictly, as to Richard and Catherine and their joint
heirs, or 2 Freely, as to them and their heirs respectively or
severally. In the latter case the younger sons of Richard would
bear the arms therely granted; in the former they would (in the
writer's opinion, at least) be entitled only to Richard's
inherited arms of Cooper; but no doubt, on application, they would
be authorised to bear arms as in the grant, but reversing the
order of marshalling, and placing the arms of Cooper in the first
and fourth quarters, and those of Chadwick in the second and
third. As the arms of Chadwick in this grant differ widely from
the paternal arms, so also those of Cooper which bear no
resemblance to the arms of Cooper of Kilmure, which are, sa. a
chevron wary erm. between three lions rampant, or * Crest, on
chapeau, gu. turned up erm. a bull passant pro. collared and
hoofed or. Motto -Love serve.
EMC Page 11:
The following genealogy of the Irish Branch of the Chadwick
family was compiled by Mrs Letitia Chadwick of Dunmore and Edward
Marion Chadwick of Toronto, and is believed to be quite correct,
(except as to anything which is stated in the text to be
uncertain) in all statements regarding the main line of descent;
but the particulars of junior or cadet branches are not so
reliable and may contain errors or inaccuracies. A good deal of
difficulty was found in tracing this genealogy in consequence of
the carelessness with which parochial records have been kept:
those of Cullen are since 1779 only, the registers prior to that
date having disappeared -at least they are not at Cullen, nor at
Waterford.
Footnote to P12: It is possible that they may be at
Dublin.
Little use has been made of the parochial registers or other
public sources of information, as the compilers have not had the
opportunity of making such searches beyond a limited extent. No
doubt a professional genealogist could add much to this work. It
may also be noted that the family title deeds were lost about 1840
to 1844 having been entrusted to an attorney in London with a view
to prosecuting a claim to the supposed estates of Sir Andrew
Chadwick and were never recovered - probably in consequence of the
death of Austin Cooper Chadwick and John Chadwick of Dublin, who
were concerned in the business. Like all Chadwicks, the Ballinard
family long fancied that they were the true heirs of Sir Andrew
Chadwick, but the enquiries made in tracing this genealogy have
pretty plainly demonstrated that none of our ancestors were
related to Sir Andrew Chadwick, whose relations and heirs are now
well known, thought for a long period a good deal of doubt and
mystery existed with regard to them.
Footnote to P13: Sir Andrew Chadwick of Carter Place in
the Manor of Accrington co. Lancaster, and afterwards of
St James' Westminster, was knighted by Queen Anne 18 Jan
1709/10. D. in 1768, said to be aged 90. In his early
life he lived for a time in Ireland. He was an Army
Agent and Paymaster, and acquired great wealth, which
was the subject of an immense amount of litigation
extending over many years. Our family never had any
right to any of it.
The descent of the IRISH or Ballinard Branch of the Chadwick
family is stated in the old Drawing of the arms already referred
to, to have been derived from " an ancient and worthy family out
of Yorkshire in England." The first settler in Ireland is said to
have been a gentleman of good position in England, who, in
consequence of some political or family disagreement, sold his
estates there, and acquired Ballinard, or Ballynard, in co
Tipperary, sometimes described as being in co. Limerick. The
circumstance that the alliances of the family have been apparently
with the families of the Cromwellian Settlement chiefly, seems to
indicate that the Chadwicks came into Ireland at about the time of
this immigration, and perhaps under Cromwellian auspices. For it
is a fact which may be observed on a study of genealogies of
families in the South of Ireland, that those who came into the
Country at this period have constantly intermarried with one
another, generally holding aloof from those of a previous
immigration, who again have similarly kept much within their own
circle, and both avoiding alliances with the Celtic families. "
Ballinard, co. Limerick" was about or shortly before the middle of
the 17th Century, the property of Garrett Fitzgerald, and as it
was about this time that the downfall of the Geralds occurred, it
is probable that the Ballinard referred to may be the same as that
of the Chadwicks, and was acquire by them about 1650 or 1660,
which would also be the date of their settlement in Ireland. There
has long been a family tradition that the first settler in Ireland
married a ward in Chancery named Grace Goggin (or some similar
name) and failing to obtain the consent of the Lord Chancellor to
the marriage, escaped out of England with his wife concealed in a
sack. While it is impossible to say how far this story may be
correct, it is most likely that it is founded on fact, for so
remarkable a story could scarcely have arisen without a
foundation. The writer inclines to the opinion that this Ancestor
was the one whose name is on the stone cover of the family burial
vault at Cullen with the date of death obliterated, because the
Will of Richard Chadwick qui ob. 1720-21, directs the vault to be
repaired from which it is clear that it must have already been a
good while in existence. So that if the first settler in Ireland
died, as is probable, about 1680, the vault would no doubt date
from that time, and being in 1720 some forty years old, might
easily require repairs. If this be so, the name of the first
settler was William and beginning with him the descent may be
traced as follows:-

lines also in relief. The inscription is at one end, as

chiselled off. The style of the lettering is:

"of 1673" who is mentioned in an old letter, and is stated to have
been buried at Cullen in 1739. He had issue a son and a daughter
(as is supposed, but it is possible that she may have been the
dau. of a brother) viz:-
3/1 WILLIAM, of Gurthakilleen, near Oola, co Limerick, of whom

Kingswell or Sadliers Wells who survived him, and was subsequently
m. to Anthony Armstrong. Richard's will is dated 1769 or 1770, but
he survived later, as one of his sons was born in 1771, and he was
probably not the youngest. He had issue as follows:
Footnote to P21: The writer has been unable to identify
the arms of Ellard. A piece of plate at Ballinard has
the arms of ch impaling, Az. two swords in salhre
(points in chief) it is not known whose arms these are.

and the grandson of a man born in 1714, or possibly
earlier, was still living in 1879 - 165 years - the
latter has lived in the presence of certainly five
generations (of which the last has a number of adult
members) and probably of six, as it is likely that his
grand mother was living when he was born - some of her
brothers and sisters certainly were.

Carden (nee Roe) a house shewn in the background being
Barnane, and that a portrait at Ballinard of a fair
haired lady, dressed in red, is that of Rose Craven.
