An Account of the Families of Lennard and Barrett
The Lennard family of Chevening, Kent descends from a George Lennard who was living there at the time of Henry VI. His father was named John and was living in Chepsted, Kent in 1440. The Lennard family married into the Fynes and Dacre families, both of whom were lesser nobility. Upon marrying into the noble houses of Fynes and Dacre, the Lennards inherited the title of Lord Dacre. In 1674 the ninth Baron Dacre married Anne FitzRoy, illegitimate daughter of King Charles II. Charles II readily recognized her as his daughter and freely bestowed gifts to her. In this manner, Thomas, ninth Baron Dacre was made Earl of Sussex. Another branch of the Lennard family married into and took the name Barrett, as well as the title of Lord Newburgh. Descendents of the various Lennard branches may be found in England and the United States.
