The Brereton Family, Lords of the Manor of Brereton, and laterJoint tenure Barons of Malpas, in Cheshire is said to have beenfounded by a younger son of Gilbert de Venables, from whom theyare descended through a later connection with that family - thissupposition is supported by the similarity of the arms that theybore, which differ on in tincture. A full pedigree is given inGeorge Ormerod's Cheshire (1817, 1888) and also in Burke'sExtinct and Dormant Peerage. The family was raised to thepeerage in the seventeenth century, but is now extinct in thesenior line. Robert, Lord Clive of Plassey ("Clive of India"),the present Earls of Powis, Earls of Plymouth, Baroness D'arcyde Knath are descended from this family.-------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------
