Notes for Mary Barrington
From Mark Noble's "Memoirs of the persons and families who by females are allied to or descended from the protectorate-House of Cromwell" pub in 1784:
"6. Mary Barrington, who married to Sir Gilbert Gerard, of Harrow-on-the Hill, in the county of Middlesex, created a baronet in 1620. He was a member for the countor of Middlesex in the 18th and 21st of king James I and the 1st, 15th and in the 16th of Charles I in the last, which is called the long parlement, he shewed himself an enemy to the earl of Stafford, and afterwards to the king, joining with the parlement against royalty itself; for this he rose to many considerable places: he was made paymaster of the parlement army; had three-oence in the pound allowance, worth sixty thousand pounds; and also was appointed chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster : the protector Oliver made him a lord of his upper house. His alliance to and friendship for the Cromwells occasioned the long-parlement, after Richard's resignation, to refuse him admission into their house; but he had the courage to bring an action against colonel Alured, who had personally stopped him as he was entering the house; but the parlement ordered the action to be dropped, as it was done by their order: the army soon after obtaining the superiority, he was nominated one of the new council of state: he survived the restoration. The title of baronet is now become extinct in this family: such of his descendants as I have found are given in a note; observing first that John, a younger son of sir Gilbert, was fellow of King's college-Chapel, Cambridge and died in 1690, aged 53."
In Munday's Middlesex pedigrees, she is called Elizabeth.

TFPL: July 2005: Lipscomb shows that she received the manor of Aston-Clinton as a maritagium and it then passed through the Gerards to the Lakes who became barons and then viscounts and seem to have used Aston-Clinto as their caput.
