• 1618 . Histories and Antiquities of Dorset The Pedigree of St Lo of Little Fontmel in is stated to have been taken from that recorded at Heralds' College. It records the marriage of John St Lo (ob. with Elizabeth, daughter of Laurence Hyde of Hatch, Wilts. John St Lo was George St Lo's grandfather. Laurence Hyde of Hatch was grandfather of Edward, first Earl of Clarendon (see pedigree in Le Neve's Knights).Arms of St Lo: Argent on a bend sable three annulets of the field; Crest: A Moor's head proper full-faced. These Arms appear in the portrait of Captain George St Lo in the National Maritime Museum.As a further indication of St Lo's kinship the Cal. S.P. Dom. under date November 1682 contains a letter from Frances Wright to Secretary of State Jenkins on behalf of her husband who ‘has been a lieutenant these 14 years’: ‘He was ordered the Dartmouth frigate last spring, but Lord Rochester put a friend of his into it.’ Rochester was Laurence Hyde, a younger son of the first Earl of Clarendon, born in 1641; he became First Lord of the Treasury in 1679.As regards the Ernie connection: Gertrude St Lo, George St Lo's aunt, married Edward Ernie of Ashlington, Wilts, in 1619 (St Lo pedigree). Sir John Ernie, who commanded the Henry at the Texel and was Comptroller of Stores in 1671–7 and Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1677 (Catalogue of Pepysian MSS. vol. 4, Index), appears to have been a connexion

• 1686 . England's Safety (St Lo). See also De la Roncière's Histoire de la Marine Française and O. Troude's Batailles Navales de la France for the French accounts. These two latter contain certain discrepancies. De la Roncière says that the Portsmouth was of ‘ègale force’ with the Marquis. He also states that St Lo was killed and 150 of his ship's company were casualities, for the loss of twenty-seven killed and wounded in the Marquis, apart from her captain, the Chevalier du Méneacute;, who died of his wounds the following day. Troude's account mentions that the Portsmouth lost her fore and main masts before she struck, but his estimate of her armament is even wider of the mark than De la Roncière's, for he describes her as a 70-gun ship. Pepys's List of clearly states that the Portsmouth carried 46 guns in home waters. I am indebted to the Editor of The Mariner's Mirror for confirmation of this figure from a Sergison MS. in his possession
