arms quartered upon two of them. They cannot
be less than two hundred and fifty or three
hundred years old, probably older. The first
is the coat borne by the Hunston family of
Leake, who were settled in that parish as
early as lem_b. Richard I., perhaps earlier, and
afterwards intermarried into the Sutton, Stick-
ney, Whiting, Gedney, and Enderby families,
all of whose arms are quartered on that shield;
they being respectively, I. Hunston ; 2. Sutton ;
3. Stickney ; 4. Whytyng; 5 and 7. Gedney;
6 and 8. Enderby.
" The second shield" of which he gives a
sketch drawn from the same mantle-piece,
"quarters the arms of Smith of Elsham, in
place of those of Gedney and Enderby, with
the arms of Hunston, Sutton, Stickney, and
Whiting."
"The Whiting arms, as quartered by the
Hunstons in the old house at Leake, are the
arms of the ancient family of Whiting of Lincolnshire."*
This coat-of-arms, as shown in
See Thompson's History of Boston, p. 585, where he gives a further
account of St. Lawrence's Chantry, and of the armorial quarterings
above referred to.
