53030Roding Essex: Prior c.1860 . 19th Century Victorian Hand Painted & Illuminated Coat of Arms or Armorial Bearings for the Family of Prior 'Malo Mori Quam Foedari' with a Detailed Hand Written History in England & Ireland Both sides Glazed. The picture is in excellent period condition and measures 28 cm by 22 cm Family history records show: Captain Thomas Prior married Hon. Elizabeth Fairfax daughter of Ferdinando Fairfax 2nd Lord Fairfax of Cameron and Lady Mary Sheffield. He died in 1690. He lived at Roding Essex England and then moved to Rathdowney County Laios Ireland. Prior Thomas 1681�1751 founder of the Dublin Society and philanthropist was born in Garrison House Rathdowney Queen's Co. Laois second son among five children of Col. Thomas Prior and his first wife whose name is unknown. According to unverified family history his father secretly married again after the death of his first wife this time to the good-looking daughter of a small farmer; they had two sons. His grandfather Thomas Prior an English captain came to Ireland in 1636 and under the act of settlement obtained 500 acres of land in Rathdowney. After a period of ill health Prior retired to his estate in Rathdowney during the summer of 1751 and he died 21 October 1751 aged 70. He was buried in the Rathdowney churchyard and his tombstone inscribed �Thomas Prior Esq. who spent a long life in unwearied endeavours to promote the welfare of his country� was later relocated inside the adjacent church. His exact place of burial is now unknown. In his will Prior disinherited his estranged two half-brothers and left his estate to his cousin John Murray Prior only son of his aunt Mary. In 1726 Prior�s uncle Richard died at Ely and by his will bequeath to his �loving nephew Thomas Prior� some 40 acres of land in the parish of Leverington in the isles of Ely and a leasehold estate in the town of Cambridge as well as the More-Houses. "Malo mori quam foedari" "I would rather die than be dishonored". ".This drawing of the crest is by T. L. Murray-Prior It appears that T. L. Murray-Prior had tried to find out what the Prior coat of arms were and got it slightly wrong. On 23 November 1885 he wrote about the crest in his Family Bible. Part of what he wrote is hard to read now but appears to describe his crest as he drew it: that the family arms are �Sa. on a bend arm three chevronels gn. between stars of eight point wavy�. Motto: Malo mori quam foedari. Seat: Rathdowney Queens County. This all was part of his determination to assert his family's gentry status and despite the family no longer owning Rathdowney. T. L. Murray-Prior achieved confirmation of his family's gentry status in October 1888 when as described in Burke's entry 'Prior of Netherfield' in his Landed Gentry book T.L. Murray-Prior 'obtained confirmation of Arms from the Ulster King of Arms 1888 - Quarterly 1 and 4 vert on a bend ermine three chevronels gules PRIOR; 2 and 3 per fess gules and or four mullets countercharged MURRAY.'." - See Wikipedia Murray-Prior [ Roding, Essex: Prior (c.1860) ] . unknown
