S. A. Scot. CHAPTER V HARDYS OUTSIDE WESTMORLAND BEFORE leaving the subject of Barbon families in general, it may be remarked that such pedi- grees as can be traced from parish registers and local wills are necessarily confmcd almost entirely to the head of the family and his immediate descendants. In such a primitive state of things as prevailed in Westmorland in the sixteenth and seventeenth cen- turies — and indeed long after — there was httle or no scope in one's native place for any expans...ion or change of fortune. The history of a family of statesmen is mainly the history of the descent from generation to generation of the few paternal acres which formed a homestead for a single household. To this the eldest son succeeded, while his brethren received sums of money which would take them in search of an occupa- tion, perhaps the same as or perhaps different from that of their ancestors, into a part of the kingdom which, though not distant according to our modern notions, was then practically beyond the reach of all ordinary communications.
