Charles Herbert (Sheffield) d.1774;

Thence by descent
The arms are those of Sheffield impaling Sabine quartering Sabyn of Bedfordshire for Charles Herbert (1706?-1774), an illegitimate son John Sheffield, 1st Duke of Buckingham and Normanby (1648-1721) by Frances Stewart (1683?-?) who in 1708 married the Hon. Oliver Lambart, younger son of Charles Lambart, 3rd Earl of Cavan. Under the terms of his father's will, proved on 28 March 1721, Herbert formerly changed his name to Sheffield and on 30 October 1735, upon the death of Edmund Sheffield, 2nd and last Duke of Buckingham and Normanby he inherited much of the Sheffield estates, including Normanby in Lincolnshire. In 1741 Charles Sheffield married Margaret Diana (d. 1762), daughter of General Joseph Sabine (1661?-1739), Governor of Gibraltar (1730) and M.P. For Berwick-upon-Tweed (1727 to 1734). He was created a baronet on 1 March 1755 and died on 5 September 1774 when he was succeeded by his son, Sir John Sheffield, 2nd Bt. of Normanby (1743?-1815).
