The family of Ranger was long connected with Berwick. In 1627 I find the name of Thomas Ranger residing in the parish; and from that time the name is continually met with till the death of the old clerk in 1783. At different times I have been applied to by persons of this name, from Ripe and from Falmer, seeking information about the family, saying, that their Berwick property was sold to Lord Gage under condition to revert to the family after three generations.
