The news today is that I am contracting with the College of Arms to see if they can find information in their archives about Sir Roger Newburgh, great grandson of John Newburgh Esq. Roger was belted on the same day in 1494 as Henry, Duke of York - aka King Henry VIII.

I believe this Roger MAY BE our link to the Devon Newburghs/Newberrys of East Lulworth. This Roger supposedly gave his brother Walter the manor of Othe Fraunces. Bartlett thought that Walter was a son of the Berkeley line. I won't go into the gory details here, but the record proves his assumption to be inaccurate.

I am a medieval historian who has been studying the Newburgh family of Dorset for 20+ years.

It all began when I realized the genealogy for this family was cracked! Joseph Gardner Bartlett wrote the first bone fide history in 1914. Through the errors of omission much of his work is provably inaccurate.

I was suffering with the empty nest syndrome, living in a rainy place with no sun, so I set myself up and started doing research. Here I am many years later with two books about the Newburghs under my belt and so much more information that needs an archive.
