At the time of Colonel Moore Fauntleroy's emigration to Virginia, t he
head of the Fauntleroy family and the possessor of "Fauntleroy's Marsh,"
the ancient seat of the family in the County of Dorset, was William
Fauntler oy, son of William Fauntleroy (died 1607) and Mary Hord, his wife
(Hutchins' "History and Antiquities of Dorsetshire," Vol. 2, p. 354).
William Fauntlero y, husband of Mary Hord, was son of Henry Fauntleroy, of
Hampshire, whose wil l was dated June 18, 1578, in which he names as
Overseer "Cousin William Faun tleroy, of Crondall," Hampshire, who was
grandfather of Colonel Moore Fauntle roy of Virginia. The father of this
Henry Fauntleroy and the father of Willia m Fauntleroy of Crondall were
brothers (sons of Tristram Fauntleroy), as show n by the pedigree of this
family in "Fragmenta Genealogica," Vol. VII, pp. 44 , 47. Both these
branches of the Fauntleroy family resided in the County of H ampshire
until the main line of the family in the County of Dorset became ext inct,
when William Fauntleroy, husband of Mary Hord, succeeded to the family
estates in Dorsetshire. William  Fauntleroy and his wife, Mary Hord, had
tw o children, namely, William Fauntleroy and Mary      Fauntleroy who
married W illiam Ridout. The names of their descendants are given in
Hutchins' "History and Antiquities of Dorset," Vol. 2, page 354. One of
their male descendants was James Fauntleroy, who died 1695 in the Island
of Barbadoes.
Mary Hord, w ife of William Fauntleroy, was a relative (probably
sister or aunt) of Willia m Hord who
sold the Manor of Lillington, 1619, as shown by the following
rec ords:
April 13, 1631, "William Fauntleroy next of kin to William
Hourde of F olke, deceased" appointed
administrator of the estate of William Hord (Dorset
Administrations in "Somerset and Dorset Notes
and Queries," Vol. 3, p. 169).
This William Fauntleroy was son of William Fauntleroy and Mary
Hord, his wi fe, and died in 1675.
