Synopsis
Excerpt from Devon Notes and Queries, Vol. 5: A Quarterly Journal Devoted to the Local History Biography and Antiquities of the County of Devon; From January, 1908, to October, 1909
Pages 24-5. - This shield of Duckworth is an interesting one because the baronetcy is extinct and has merged into the Kings, Barts.; and the inscription is valuable because it probably corrects the Christian names of the daughter of Dr. William Buller, Bishop of Exeter, the second wife of the first Duckworth, Bart, given there as Mary Isabella, whilst in Burke's Peerage, 1839, it is Susannah Catherine; and also adds to the pedigree their daughter Mary Georgiana. I cannot think the blazon of the impaling Buller can be right on a cross voided and 'three eagles' is most uncommon; it is true Buller has several variations; Pole says Argent a cross sable, perced argent between 4 egles [displayed] sable.' Western Armory, p. 7, 'a rg. A cross quarter pearced betweene 4 eagles displayed sab.' and Carew Scroll, p. 105, as last; but Papworth, p. 650, says William Buller, Bishop of Exeter 1792-1796, bore, as the Bullers do at present, Sable on a cross quarter pierced argent four eagles displayed of the first which is the blazon given by Bedford in his Blazon of Episcopacy.
