The Bulkeley family is of great antiquity in England and derives its name from the town of Bulkeley, where as early as 1200 they were lords of the manor. The term "lord" in the sense of feudal owner of a manor is often ignorantly interpreted as baron. Lords of the manor were not ordinarily and never ipso facto barons. Robert Bulkeley or Bulklileh was the earliest Lord of the Manor of Bulkeley. His four daughters, Felicia, Leuka, Letitia and Emma, quitclaimed lands in Prestland to their brother William, for one mark of silver.
