This name is identical with Paulet, but Mr. Shirley's account differs considerably from what has been stated under art. Paulet. He says: "Paulet, in the hundred of North Petherton, co. Somerset, gave name to this historical family, the first on record being Sir William de Paulet, who died in 1242. He was of Leigh in Devonshire, which, with Bode, in Somersetshire, successively became the family seats. Hinton St. George, which came from the heiress of Denebaud in the reign of Henry VI., is noted by Leland as "a right goodly manor place of fre stone, with two goodly high tourres, embattled in the ynner court," which has ever since remained the seat of the elder branch of the family," now represented by Earl Poulett. Noble and Gentle Men of England.
The Pollitts may possess an ancestor in John Pollett, minister of Butterworth in 1660 (W. W.).
