'Armorial' reports that Ralph "presumed to have been an officer in the army of Richard III., and a native of England, settled in Jersey in the early part of the sixteenth century, and became a tenant of the Seigneur of Rozel. His descendants have flourished in, and been allied by marriage to some of the best families, of both Jersey and Guernsey.
