KENT, AND OF BARKING, CO. SUFFOLK. The only pedigree of the family of Crowley I have been able to discover will be found among Le Neve's Pedigrees of Knights, Harleian MS. 5802, fo. 83. This is necessarily very incomplete, and as I have been able to make some considerable additions thereto, I forward them for publication in the East Anglian. I have placed a reference to the authority from which each additional statement has been taken, because, since further research might serve to render it more complete, it would be unnecessary to traverse the same ground over again. Ambrose Crowley, of Rowley, in Staffordshire, died before 1707, having married Mary, daughter of Granger, of Worcestershire, and had issue :-Ambrose Crowley, of Sturbridge, co.
