6 July 1666: To the Tower about shipping of some more pressed men - and that done, away to Broadstreet to Sir G. Carteret, who is at a pay of tickets all alone. And I believe not less than 1000 people in the streets. But it is a pretty thing to observe, that both there and everywhere else a man shall see many women nowadays of mean sort in the streets, but no men; men being afraid of the press.

found of the title of "de Rosel," and at this point we have a break in our
chronology, until we come to the. following item, taken from a copy of
an ancient pedigree or chart of the Family of the Carterets, Lords of
Carteret and St. Ouen in the Isle of Jersey, then in the possession of Sir
George Carteret, Vice Chamberlain to James II, King of England. It
says:
"Rawlin Tampier, Lord of Roselle, slayne at ye seige of ye castle of
Jersey, (temp, Edward IV, 1461-1483) married the daughter of Richard
Weston, a Captain under Sir Richard Harliston, at ye Castle of Jersey.

Their daughter married Dominique Perrin, a Burgess of the Town of
St. Pol, in Guernsey. Their children were Edmund (who became Lord
of Rosel, in the right of his mother, after the death of her bachelor
brother) John, James, and a daughter who married James Guill, Bailey
of Guernsey." (A Bailey ranked next after a Lieutenant-Governor.)

In a copy of another old chart in my possession, of the date 1564, the
name of presumably the aforesaid Edmund Perrin, again appears. This
chart states that "Isabel, daughter of Edmund Perrin, Seigneur of Rosel,
married one John Dumaresq, Seigneur of Vinchelles de Bas, and des
Angres, in the Island of Jersey, and they had issue."

This chart goes on to state that between 1644 and 1693, Anne Du-
maresq, a lineal descendant of John and Isabel (Perrin) Dumaresq, was
married to Philip de Carteret, Lord of St. Ouen, and Serk, and who,
upon that marriage, became also Lord of Rosel, in right of his wife.

Thus it would appear that the title passed from Edmund Perrin into
the Dumaresq family, and from that family to the Carterets, through
marriages, or through failure of direct male heirs.

This last chart contains another curious and interesting item, and
singularly this time the spelling "Perrine" appears.

It states that Sir Philip de Carteret, son and heir of Philip, Lord of
Carteret and St. Ouen, married "Perrine Caux," but that Sir Philip dying
before his father (circa 1440), the titles and estates passed to Sir Philip's
son, Philip.

Philip, Lord of Carteret and St. Ouen, died in 1460, and was succeeded
by his grandson Philip, who died in 1500. (New England Historical
Genealogical Register and Genealogical Record, Vol. 17, p. 31 5.)
