ASKEW descent from Anthony Askew MD, of Kendal, Westmorland

Quartered Arms and Crest of Adam Askew — with Cary inescutcheon

[NOTE: The addition of the 'Cary inescutcheon' means that this image of the quartered arms would really 'belong' to the Adam Askew, who married the eldest daughter and heiress of Robert Cary, Virginia merchant of London. As did also his brother, Thomas Askew, who married the youngest daughter of the same Robert Cary. The original grant of these quartered arms was given to their grandfather, Adam Askew, the eldest son of Anthony Askew in 1760.]

These armorial bearings (quartered arms), with crest, 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."

ASKEW ... or was that once AIKSKEUGH or AYSCOGH - as in ask skog (oak wood) ... or ... ?

– a family neither 'out of line' nor 'awry' –
but tracing its patri-lineage straight – a line direct

to an Adam ... though not to any Eve

... but Anne, wife to Dr. Adam Askew, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne,
eldest son and heir of Dr. Anthony Askew, of Kendal in Westmorland.
