Quartered Arms and Crest of Adam Askew — with Cary inescutcheon [2]

[NOTE: The addition of the 'Cary inescutcheon' means that this image of the quartered arms would almost certainly 'belong' to this Adam Askew, of Wimpole Street, London, who married the eldest daughter and heiress of Robert Cary, Virginia merchant of London. His brother, Thomas Askew, married another daughter of the same Robert Cary – his youngest daughter, Lucy Elizabeth. Rather than to the Adam Askew (1696-1773), of Newcastle upon Tyne.] [2]

These armorial bearings (but without 'Cary in pretence') were "granted on 9 May 1760 to Adam Askew of Newcastle upon Tyne M.D, J.P, for Northumberland, lord of the manors of Ellington, Linton, Hetherslaw and Crookham in that county, and 'possessed of several other considerable estates' in Westmorland, Lancashire and the Bishopric of Durham, and the advowsons of the Rectories of Greystock [Greystoke], Plumbland and Bolton in Cumberland."

    « These Quartered Arms are most likely those of Adam Askew (1752/8-1844), of Wimpole Street, London, who was married firstly to Amy Ann Cary (abt 1754-1831), eldest daughter of Robert Cary (abt 1730-1777), merchant of London. They could have equally been those of Adam's younger brother, Thomas Askew (1771-1858), who was married to Amy's younger sister, Lucy Elizabeth Cary (abt 1775-1861). The painting was certainly passed down through the descendants of Thomas Askew - his brother Adam having no children by either of his two wives. I (Robin Cary Askew) inherited it from my aunt, Gillian Margaret Askew (1916-2013), who must have inherited it from her uncle, Hugh Askew (1862-1949). Hugh Askew was the eldest son and heir of Rev. John Askew (1804-1881), who, in turn, was the eldest surviving son and heir of the aforesaid Thomas Askew. » —Robin Cary Askew
