[Illustration] About the reign of Henry III. William Salwey was Lord
of Leacroft, a hamlet in the parish of Cannock in Staffordshire;
hence the family removed to Stanford in Worcestershire; of' which
John Salwey was owner in the third of Henry IV. But this estate was
carried by an heiress to Sir Francis Winnington in the reign of
Charles II. Richard Salwey, younger brother of Edward Salwey of
Stanford, was seated at Richard's Castle in the county of Hereford
at the time of the Protectorate. His grandson Richard was of the
Moor Park, where he died in 1759, and was succeeded by his
great-nephew, whose grandson is the present representative of this
ancient family. See Erdeswick's Staffordshire, ed. 1844, p.
200; Nash's Worcestershire, ii. 369; and Morris MSS.
