Hi fellow Cecil. Actually, we are in the paternal line of John Baptist Cecil, although we
are now 'Cissell'. Not familar w/ the King George grant, but... there was a land
grant from Queen Elizabeth to Lord William Cecil 1st Baron Burghley in the 1500's. He
was her main adviser for 43 years, one of the job perks.Burghley castle is owned to this
day by Cecils. You can get more info online, & we've got the 'story' as
well as fotos in our tree. Here's the link...
