  • Notes 
    • Also known as William de Hertburn or Hartburn and Sir William Fitzpatrick. Had a grant of the manor of Washington, nr. Sunderland, Durham Witnessed charters in Durham as "William de Wessington" 1180 to 1190.
      In the " Balden Book" a record is made of all the estates of the people of Durham: in 1183 is found the entry that William de Hertburn of Hertburn, France, took the manor Wessington in exchange for soldierly service. With this grant Sir William de Hertburn became Sir William de Wessington. In these olden times this Wessington served his king, being among the pruex chevaliers, fighting, hawking, gaming, conspiring, conquering and feasting, the king granted him a silver shield upon which were two golden bars, surrounded by three spurs of the knight in red with the crest of the black raven emerging from a ducal coronet.
      William de Hertburn had a brother Orm from whom many Hartburns/Harburns/Harbrons are supposed to descend.
