Litigant in 1639 Court of Chivalry case challenging the right to use the Coat of Arms by the Herefordshire Perrotts. [1] [2] It followed that branch inheriting the estates of Sir James Perrot, the illegitimate son of Sir John, in 1637. [3] Among those who gave evidence for the plaintiff were his kinsfolk Thomas Palmer and Lady Dorothy Mansell, both of Llansadurnen, together with Henry Vaughan, son of Sir Walter Vaughan of Golden Grove, whose collection of 'ancient pedigrees' [4] he cited. The undisputed lineage of Thomas Perrott, who was placed at the Inns of Court by Sir James, [5]is shown in his petition as follows:
"Although born in Bristol, the plaintiff, Thomas Perrot of London Esq, formerly of the Brook in Carmarthenshire, was lineally descended from Sir Owen Perrot's fourth son John (d.c.1560s). The Perrotts of Brook were cousins to Sir James Perrot with whom they (especially the plaintiff's father also named Thomas) were on good terms.
Under the terms of a deed of settlement of his estates issued by Sir John Perrot in 1584, Thomas's father had been named as a beneficiary in the event of the deaths of the issuer's sons, namely Sir Thomas (d.1594), William (d.c.1587) and Sir James (d.1637). After Sir John Perrot's attainder for treason his estates were forfeit to the Crown and from 1594-1608 Sir James and Thomas (plaintiff's father) worked together to recover them."Despite this early co-operation, the interests of the two parties were incompatible and Thomas Perrott, often in alliance with the Countess of Northumberland, later opposed Sir James' title to several substantial properties.[6]
