VOLUME I. NEW SERIES,

PREFATORY NOTE.
At the suggestion of many Subscribers to the original quarterly publication of " Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica," the present work was started to appear under the same Title, but at more frequent intervals, and at a reduced, price.
The Editor has every reason to be satisfied with the reception which has been accorded to the present volume ; and it is not proposed to prolong the existence of the larger Miscellany beyond Volume II., which is now nearly completed. It may be convenient to state, in this place, that the Quarterly and Monthly series have been kept quite distinct as regards their contents. There has been no reprinting.
The number of Subscribers continues to increase, and it is gratifying to the Editor to find that his labours are appreciated not only in this country but also in the United States. It was, indeed, to be expected that a pe- riodical containing so large a proportion of inedited matter, extracts from church registers, tabular pedigrees and the like, illustrating the descent and arms of the more modern British families, should be found deserving yj of encouragement by those zealous students of genealogy whose number is
daily increasing in the older English settlements of North America. >\ The Volume now completed will be found to contain many original ^ documents of interest, and in particular several early wills, grants of arms, and notes of curious deeds and seals, presenting, it is hoped, attractive matter to the antiquarian public in general.
To all those friends whose contributions so liberally placed at his disposal have materially furthered the design, the Editor for himself, and on the part of the whole body of Subscribers, must offer his very cordial thanks.
No efforts will be spared to render the continuation of the work deserving of the kind patronage which has been extended to the portion now completed.

CHAPMAN.
The following memoranda^ relate to the family of Sir John Chapman, Kt., the well-known Lord Mayor of 1688, whose pedigree is very imperfectly exhibited in the Baronetages. Lord Macaulay (Hist, of England, ii. 557) graphically describes the fatal agitation of the Lord Mayor when Lord Chancellor Jeflreys was dragged before him, in the riots which followed the abdication of King James, although he omits to mention his name. He says, " The Mayor was a simple man, who had passed his whole life in obscurity, and was bewildered by finding himself an important factor in a mighty revolution. The events of the last twenty-four hours, and the perilous state of the City which was under his charge, had disordered his mind and his body. When the great man, at whose frown, a few days before, the whole kingdom had trembled was dragged into the justice-room be- grimed with ashes, half-dead with fright, and followed by a raging multitude, the agitation of the unfortunate Mayor rose to the height. He fell into fits and was carried to his bed, whence he never rose." It may be doubted, however, whether Macaulay has done justice to the political experience of Sir John Chapman, for Sir John was one of the six aldermen of London, who were displaced in 1687 for opposing the address in favour of the Declaration of Indulgence ; and his contemporary Dr. Scott, the Rector of St. Giles-in-the-Fields, praises in high terms the wisdom and prudence of
# The arms on seal are those of Penn impaling Springett, William Penn having married — at Chalfont, in 1672 — Gulielma Maria, daughter of Sir William Springett. His first wife died 23rd February, 1694. In 1696 he married Hannah, daughter of Thomas Callowhill, of Bristol.
f The Condicon of this Obligacon is such that wheras at the Intermarrage of the aboue bound William Penn with Hannah daughter of the above named Thomas Callowhill he the said William Penn then had and since hath receiued of and from the said Thomas Callowhill divers sums of Money as the Marriage portion of the said Hannah, & hitherto hath not made any provision or assureance ffor or to the children Isue of their bodies if it please god to give them any. Now therefore if the aboue bound William Penn his heirs Executors or Administr's doe and shall within six yeares next after the date hereof in case therebe Isue of their bodies pay or cause to be payd unto the aboue named Thomas Callowhill his Executors Administs or assignes the ffull sum'e of fifteen hun- dred pounds Curant money of England to be by the said Thomas Callowhill layd out in Purchase of lands or otherwise to be Imployd & Improved to the likeing and aprobacon of the said William Penn if Liveing ffor the benefit & behoofe of such Child and Children his & their heires Executors as shall please god to give the said Will.

The Family of Trevor, etc.* — Since writing the account of the above family in the pages of your truly valuable and interesting miscellany, I beg leave to correct a mistake I made at p. 79 and to append a few further particulars. At p. 79 I stated that Justin MacCarthy married secondly a daughter of Sir Thomas Hawes, Knt.,

of London. Now Justin was a member of the family of MacCarthys of " Gleann a-Chroim," or the " Vale of Crom," and it was his brother Denis (eldest son of Denis MacCarthy, Esq., of co. Cork, and of Squire's Mount, Harnpstead, by his cousin Mary), who was father of Sir Charles Justin, Governor of Ceylon. Sir Charles married, in 1848, Sophia Brunei, eldest daughter of Sir Benj. Hawes, K.C.B., Under Secretary of War (M.P. for Lambeth 1832-47 and for Kinsale 1848-52). He was appointed Auditor- General of Ceylon in 1847, Colonial Secre- tary of that island 1852, Governor in 1860, and died October, 1804. Daniel, nephew of Charles Justin, author of the ' Life and Letters of Florence MacCarthy Reagh, Tanist of Carbery,' married Harriet, daughter of Admiral Sir Home Popham.
James MacCarthy, a Lieutenant in the 21st (Royal North British Fusiliers) regiment of the line, died at Barbadoes, January 23, 1842, leaving issue by his wife, Isabella Gowland, four sons and a daughter, viz. 2, Edward Fredk. Augustus, late of II.M.'s 21th (2nd Warwickshire) and 35th (Sussex) regiments ; 4, Thomas James, born 1840, died of cholera at Morar Gwalior in 1861 ; 5, James Justin; 1, Henrietta Louisa, born 1835, died 1838; 3, Eliza Sarah Ann, married, in 1865, Dr. Glen, a surgeon to the Indian Government. The father of James MacCarthy was Edward, born 1768, married Sarah Bull, at St. Ann's, Westminster, 29th November, 1789. He served in the 50th (West Kent, or Queen's Own) regiment, and afterwards as Assistant Engineer of the Third Division, under Lieut.- General Sir Thos. Picton, and was severely wounded at the storming of Badajos, at the storming of Eort Napoleon, Almarez, and the battle of Corunna. He had issue, — 1, Sarah, born May 15, 1793. died at Slough, April, 1865, unmarried ; 2, Edw. Denis, born June 24, 1795, died of dysentery and fever while Lieutenant com- manding 1500 men in the bush against the Ashantees, buried at Cape Coast Castle, married ; 3, William Justin, born July 24, 1797, late 84th (York and Lancaster) regiment, retired Lieut.- Colonel, now living at Bedford, married ; 4, James born 24 August, 1801, died of yellow fever at Prince Rupert's Bay, Dominica, December, 1841, while serving as Lieutenant in the 3rd West India regiment.

Chuech Register.— I have in my possession part of a church register, and give a short description of its contents, since I am anxious to restore it to the book from whence the leaf has been torn out.
The fragment when folded forms four narrow folio pages, the first entries being, —
" October 1670. the wife of Mr Jeames Whelar was buryed the 21 day. " October 1670. from the Swann. John Maynard was buryed the 26 day."
I extract a few others : —
" December 1670 John Rennolds was buryed the 9 day.
" Jeames the son of Jeames Wheler was buryed the 29 day. " January, the wife of Edward Cotwell was buryed the 25 day. " Abrill 1671 Mary the wife of Abell Stannard was buryed the 6 day.
" Lawrante ffinch was buryed the 22 day. " July Rose Wilbe widdo was buryed the 24 day.
" Elisebeth daughtar of Jeames Harrison by Rose his wife was buryd the 28 day.
"August Johanna Osborne widdo was buryed the first day."
On satisfactory proof being furnished, I will, with pleasure, restore the frag- ment to its proper place.

Easttiy.— (1.) In the List of the Vicars of the Parish of Eastry there is a gap be- tween the year 1455, when John Craller, Rector of Hartleport, dioc. Lincoln, ex- changed with Robt. Dekyn, Vicar of Eastry (Reg. Bouch. f. 60 b, Lambeth), and the year 1517, when Richard Maister was collated to the vicarage, then vacant by the death of the last incumbent, — name not mentioned (Reg. Warh. f. 363 b) ; and although I have been able to fill up this gap partially with "Sir" William Craller in 1479 and Master Thomas Aschowe in 1487, from wills, yet still there remains a gap between 1507, when Aschowe died, and 1517, when Maister was instituted. Can you or any of your readers supply the name of the missing vicar ? a.d. 1455, John Craller.
In 1479, " Sir " William Craller ; died 1487. a.d. 1487, Master Thomas Aschowe ; died 1507.
a.d. 1517, Richard Maister, S.T.B.
(2.) Again, Thomas Sawyer was appointed vicar in 1553 (Hasted), and John Lawson in January, 1557, o.s. (Reg. Pol. f. 76 a) ; but in the same register, Robert Hill, who resigned, is mentioned as the predecessor of Lawson. Query, in what year was Hill collated to Eastry ?
(3.) Also, in what year was Peter Lymiter (whose name and date of death, a.d. 1580, we gather from the parish register) appointed ?
(4.) Can you give me any information respecting the family of Samuel Nicols, appointed Vicar of Eastry 1590, died 1638/9 ? He seems to have been possessed of some land in the parish, as he is mentioned in an old rental of 1633, and in the terriers also, as the owner of lands adjoining the glebe. His daughter married one of the Paramors of Statenborough. I judge from the fact of his having bought (?) or inherited (?) lands in the parish that he must have been a man of property, and perhaps also of family. Prior to his being Vicar of Eastry, he appears to have been Rector of Little Mongeham in 1588.
If you or any of your correspondents can throw any light on the matters above mentioned, I shall be very glad. W. F. S.
Frodsham. — Formerly a small bell was suspended outside the tower of Frods- ham Church, Cheshire, and was called the " Dagtale " Bell, being rung (immediately after the ordinary bells had ceased ringing) by a man, posted at a window or opening in the tower, when he saw the vicar coming to celebrate service. What was the origin of the practice, and word " Dagtale"?
2. Under the battlements on the east face of the same tower is a tablet, in relief, containing the letters " iSfjO "; what do they signify ? On the south side of Kirkby Malgdale (Craven?) Church-tower are the letters " G- NR." The ages of all are perhaps of about the fifteenth century, — maybe much earlier. Double Christian names were unknown, otherwise these initials might have belonged to some builder or restorer of the churches. Is it possible they are the initials of the several surnames of restorers ?
3. Can any correspondent refer me to any evidence of the founder of the family of Sir Christopher Hatton, K.G., being brother of Nigel, first Baron of Halton, Cheshire, and of such family being descended, maternally, from the old Counts of Britagne and Dukes of Normandy ?
4. I am also desirous of knowing of what family were the Downes of Manby (Lincoln) and Stockwell (Surrey), John the Regicide being of this stock.
T. Helsby.
Names op Places. — I wish to determine accurately the origin of the following names of parishes in Essex: — Stifford, Grays, Little Thurrock, Chadwell, West Til- bury, East Tilbury, Mucking, Stanford-le-Hope, Corringham, Fobbing, Horndon-on- Hill, Laindon Hills, Bulphan, Orsett, North and South Ockendon, Rainham, Wennington, Aveley, West Thurrock. Morant's derivations are often unsatisfactory. Hints and references in respect of the above, or any of them, will oblige,

The readers of the Chapman Pedigree (printed at page 6) will have observed that Sir John Chapman, the Lord Mayor, and his son Sir William, both married into the family of Webb, & that their wives were descended from a sister of Sir Henry Wood, Kt. and Bart., of Loudham Park, in Suffolk. Sir Wm. Chapman was one of the Directors of the South Sea Company, and his estate was confiscated by Parliament in 1721, on the collapse of that unfortunate scheme : but his sons inherited considerable wealth from their mother's family. Sir Henry Wood, by his will and settle- ment, both dated in May, 1671, had settled his great estates in Suffolk on his daughter Mary, after- wards Duchess of Southampton, in strict settlement ; with remainder to his brother Thomas, Bishop of Lichfield, in tail ; with remainder to his sister Lady Mary Chester in tail male ; with remainder to his sister Elizabeth Webb in tail male ; with remainder to his own right heirs. On the death of Charles Cranmer, alias Wood, Esq., in September, 1743, the last tenant in tail under these limita- tions, the ultimate remainder to the heirs of Sir Henry came into effect, and the Wood estates were

Williams of Aberystruth, or Blaika Gwent, Monmouthshire. — The founder of this family was Caradoc ap Brane, or Cradocke Vraich-vras (strong arm), Duke of Gloucester, Earl of Hereford, Brecknock, and Radnor, Prince between the "Wye and the Severn, called by the Romans, Caractacus, King of the Silures. He married Tegiruron, daughter and sole heiress to King Pelinor, and drove the Scots and Picts out of all her dominions. The arms of Williams are — Sable a chevron between three spears' heads argent, embrued proper (denoting descent from Caradoc) ; on a chief of the second, argent a wyverne's head erased vert, langued gules, holding a sinister hand in its mouth proper, dropping blood (denoting de- scent from Pelinor).
Oliver Cromwell comes down in a parallel line with this family from Sir Bichard Williams, whose sister married Thomas, Lord Cromwell, Henry VIII. 's Chancellor. This Sir Bichard Williams, after the execution of Lord Cromwell, assumed the name of Cromwell, and Oliver was his great grandson ; but Sir Bichard' s brother refused to change his name, and from him the present family are descended. Thomas, Lord Cromwell, had a sister, who married a Morgan Williams, whose son was ordered by Henry VIII. to take the name of Cromwell, and he became Sir Bichard Cromwell, and was the grandfather of Oliver Cromwell. The arms borne on the private carriage of Oliver Cromwell were the same as those which are borne by Williams. Williams of Llangibby formerly bore the same arms, but on mar- rying into the Adams family they have adopted the arms of Adams.
Any information respecting the family of Williams whose ancestors resided at Havodavel, in the parish of Aberystruth, in the county of Monmouth, will be most thankfully accepted.

Ciiolmondeley Arms. — In an ancient pedigree roll, temp. Henry VII., or earlier, and in another ancient roll, being " Ye Kircke Role of ffrodesh' : of alle yc Seates yn the Kyrke of S. llaur'. ther' & yc Chapelles thereof in Vigil' Assenc' dom' Anno rr. Henrici septimi X.," are window- shields for several families be- longing to the parish and of others connected therewith : among them, Chol- mondeley, bearing " gules three garbs or." Anciently, I believe, the charges were (/ides two mitres or in chief and a garb or in base, and so I took the blazon on these rolls to be, until a closer inspection convinced me of the two chief charges being garbs and not mitres. Can any of your correspondents inform me of any other instance of a similar blazon ? The date of these would be about the opening of the fifteenth century in the one case, and as early as the beginning of the four- teenth century in the other. They are certainly intended for the Cholmondeley arms, and may have been borne some time before the two mitres were adopted, which in their turn were supplanted by the esquires' helmets.

Westcott Family. — The seal figured in the woodcut is appended to an inden- ture, dated 18 January, 1716, between " Mary Susanna "Westcott of the parish of Sl Margaret in the liberty of Westminster, widow, "Relict and Executrix and De- visee named in the last will and testament of Samuel Westcott late of the city of Chichester in the county of Sussex gentleman deceased late one of the Lieute- nants in Brigadier Holts Regiment of Marines and son & heir of John Westcott late Citizen and Apothecary of London deceased who was son and heir of John Westcott of Ham in the parish of Kingston upon Thames in the County of Sur- rey maultman deceased of the one part and William Balfour of Thames Ditton in the said County of Surry Esquire of the other part," relating to the sale of a Tene- ment " now in the occupation of Mary Westcott widow & relict of the said John Westcott and mother of the said Samuel Westcott, being at Ham which was pur- chased by the said John Westcott the father, of Nicholas Lane of Bailey Kelley in the Kingdom of Ireland by deed dated 19 July 1658."
The autograph of Mary Susanna Westcott is in the fold of the deed. Can any of your correspondents refer me to a pedigree of the Westcott family, and also say whether this, seal, used by Mary Susanna Westcott, bears the arms of the family.

This lady appears to have been baptized at St. An- drew's, Norwich, 27 April, 1606.

[The arms of Chester, as granted on 22 May, 1467, by William Hawkslow, Clarencieux, to William Chester, of London, were enclosed " within a bordure engrailed gules bezanty ; " but the bordure was disused by Sir John Chester, the fourth baronet, and his descendants, although it appears on the monument of his brother, Henry Chester, Esq., at East Haddon, who died in 1726.
Sir Francis Chester is in all the baronetages confused with his son. He was the fifth son of Sir John Chester, fourth baronet, by Anne, daughter and coheir of Wm. Wollaston, Esq , and was born at Shenton Hall, in Leicestershire, the seat of the Wollaston family in 1693. He married, on 4 March, 1717-18, his cousin, Bethia Webb, of whom and her son full particulars will be found in the pedigree of Webb at page 15. On 25 May, 1755, he succeeded as the eighth baronet on the death of his nephew, Sir Charles Bagot Chester, but he did not succeed to the Chicheley estate, for it was alienated by the will of Sir Charles from the blood and family of Chester. Sir Francis survived his only child, and died a lunatic at Chelsea, 18 December, 1766. He was the last male descendant of the fourth baronet, and on the death of his cousin and successor, Sir Anthony Chester, the ninth baronet, 17 May, 1769, the male line of Chester became extinct.]

WILL OF HUMPHREY HALL OF GOLDINGS IN THE PARISH OF BENGEO, CO. HERTFORD, GENT. DATED 30 JANUARY, 1690.
To be buried in Bengeo chancel, a fair stone or monument* to be set upon the wall and a plain stone on my grave to keep it decent, forty pounds to be laid out upon the monument. £50 to poor of Bengeo to be laid out in the purchase of land the rent to be paid to them yearly on S1 Thomas's Day. To my loving kins- man and nephew Danyell Hall my brothers son my messuage called Goldings wherein I live with the lands etc belonging, my lands at Branfield, lands at Haven end in the parish of Standon, and lands at Wormeley for life, and to his first &c and
* This passage in Chauncy's ' Antiquities of Hertfordshire,' folio ed., p. 269, refers to the above monument: —
"There is no Gravestone, nor other remark in this Church, (Bengeo), more than that Mr. Hum- phrey Hall, who had a fair House in this Parish, called Thomsons, where he lately died, and was buried in this Parish-Church ; his Executor as I am informed has provided a fair Marble to cover him ; but I could not obtain a sight of the Inscription, therefore cannot insert it ; however I ought to let the World know that he frequented the Church, was beloved by the Gentry ; just to his Neighbour, and Charitable to the Poor ; and by his Will dated 30 Jan, 1690, gave 501 to be laid out in a Purchase of Fifty Shillings per Annum to be paid Yearly to the Poor of this Parish.'' See also Salmon's ' History of Hertfordshire,' under Bengeo ; Clutterbuck's ' History of Co. Hertford,' vol. ii. p. 29. Thomsons was another name for Goldings, for in the Kegister of Burials at Bengeo, the interment of Humphrey Hall's wife I find thus entered :— " 1689. July 5. Mrs. Hall of Goldings alias Tomsins in ys Parish, Aff1."
The following entry is from an old parish book now at Bengeo : —
"May ye 2nd 1717. Memorand. Tis agreed at a vestry this day held y» ye vicar & churchwarden & overseers for ye poor of our parsh of Bengeo shall ha' power to employ a proper Attorney to sue for ye Legacy left to ye poor of our parsh by Humphry Hall Gent deceased."
What may have been the result of this resolution I am unable to say ; but Humphrey Hall's charity is not now known in Bengeo.

every other son &c in tail male, remainder over in default of such issue to the poor Children of Christs Hospital in fee. Furniture in House at Goldings to said Danyell Hall for life and if he leaves a son to such son he paying to my neice Dorothy Hall the daughter of my nephew £200. If Danyell Hall dies without a son my pictures shall always go with the house to remain therein and not be removed elsewhere. My desire is that if my estate ever happens to come to the said Hospital that they will endeavour to have a tenant or other good person of my name (Hall) to live in Goldings house. Witnesses, Thomas Gouge, Jo Chauncy* Sen1', John Chauncy Jim1', Ann Handcock. Proved in the Prerogative court of Canterbury by Daniel Hall, 17 Decr 1701. (Dyer 1G8.)
The above cut is taken from the seal to the original will, and is curious as affording a presump- tion that it was of much older date than 1690. Humphrey was the son of Thomas, and grandson of John Hall, who respectively recorded their pedigrees at the Visitations of London in 1568 and 1633. Vide ' Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica,' vol. ii. p. 255. In both the arms are entered as, argent three talbots' heads erased sable between nine cross crosslets gules. The seal of Hum- phrey Hall, however, altogether omits the cross crosslets, and shows merely the three talbots' heads erased. It is, however, evident that Humphrey did not purposely omit the cross crosslets ; for on his monument, now remaining in the old parish church of Bengeo, they appear plainly enough, and have been ever since used by his descendants. This naturally suggests the inquiry as to whether lie was entitled to the coat without the cross crosslets. Had the seal been engraved for Humphrey Hall, the omission of the cross crosslets might have been an error of the engraver ; but I incline to think this was not the case for two reasons : first, because the appearance of the impression is, in my opinion, that of a seal of older date than Humphrey Hall's time ; and secondly, because I can show some probability that he was descended out of a family who bore for arms three talbots' heads erased without the addition of ctoss crosslets. The cross crosslets may have been merely a mark of cadency assigned by the Heralds. The Halls of Henwick, co. Worcester, and of Leicestershire, who were of the same family, bore them azure instead of gules ; thus affording a strong presumption that they were differences added to the original coat for younger branches.
John Hall, before mentioned, was son of Thomas Hall, of Warnham, co. Sussex, and I conjec- ture that he was one of the descendants of Richard Hall, of Howland, in Hoathley, co. Sussex, who bore, according to Harleian MS., 1484, fo. 67 b, argent three talbots' heads erased sable. This coat is given with different tinctures in Benolte's Visitation of Sussex in Coll. Arms.

These latter must have been living about the same time as Thomas of Warnham, and were of Horsham. (See references to various copies of above pedigree in Sims's Index to the Herald's Visi- tations, under Hall of Horsham, and Hawle of Ore, p. 289.) John Hall, grandfather of Hum- phrey, was of kin to a Thomas of Horsham,f but in what degree I have not as yet been able to
* There was probably a connection between the Chauncys and Humphrey Hall. Anne, sister to Sir Henry Chauncy, married Henry Hall, of Poplar, who bore the same arms as Humphrey Hall. The Halls of Poplar I believe to have been descended from Daniell Hall, citizen and cloth worker, of London, who was buried at St. Nicholas Aeon, 25 June, 1625. He may possibly have been a brother of John Hall, of London, draper, who was grandfather of Humphrey Hall. I shall be glad of any information as to the Halls of Poplar, who were subsequently of Wickford, co. Essex, where they remained till the latter end of the last century.

VAWDREY INSCRIPTIONS. Bowden Church, Cheshire.*
[These inscriptions were discovered a few years ago on the occasion of rebuilding the church. The one commemorating William Vawdrey has since disappeared, but probably it may only be turned over.
Owlerbarrow is distant about half a mile from Bowden Church, and is in the township of Hale.
In 1761 the estate of Owlerbarrow was advertised for sale by the then owner, Mr. Thomas Ashley, and consisted of 24 acres, a pew in Bowden Church, and subject to a small chief rent of 10c/. per year. The house is a plain building of brick, having been rebuilt shortly before 1761.
Bank, or Bank Hall as it is now called, also in the township of Hale, is of brick, rebuilt about 1761, but showing some slight remains of an older brick building. During some repairs, the date 1607 was found on a beam, but was thoughtlessly thrown among the firewood and burnt. A portion of the moat still remains.]

SKIPPON FAMILY.
The celebrated Major-General Philip Skippon commanded the infantry, for the Parliament, at the battle of Naseby, and was grievously wounded. He had £1000 a year lands of inheritance assigned to him by the Parliament. The Duke of Buck- ingham's estate at Bletchley, co. Bucks, was given him, but at the Restoration it reverted to the Crown. He had an estate at Foulsham, Norfolk, devised to him by his uncle, Win. Skippon, Esq., of Tavistock, co. Devon.
The family Bible of the General is now the property of Nathl. Barnardiston, Esq., of the Byes, near Sudbury, Suffolk, and the numerous entries by the General and his son, Sir Philip Skippon, are, with his leave, copied from it. It is the quarto " breeches " Bible of 1610, ancient embossed black leather binding, with brass clasps, red lined, and texts very much marked under with ink, many of them appli- cate to the political as well as religious enthusiasm of the Skippons.
In addition to the genealogical evidence given 'by the entries, it may be stated that the son, Sir Philip, was buried at Ketton, in Suffolk, 14 August, 1691, and his daughter Mary at the same time, with the ancestors of his second wife, the ancient family of Barnardiston. The only surviving son of Sir Philip by his first wife, sold the Foulsham estate, 1715, and was buried at Edwardstone,* Suffolk, 10 Sep- tember, 1716, as " Philip Skippon Esqre." He appears to have been the last male of the name.
The Major-General was son of Luke Skippon, who died 1638, and had another son, Luke, Vicar of South Lynn, Rector of Wissingset, Norfolk, and Master Elect of Peter House, Cambridge, whose four children named in Blomefield's ' Norfolk ' appear to have died without issue, and one not named, Susan, married Clement Heigham, Esq., and was buried at Barrow, Suffolk, 1695.
Sir Philip Skippon married the niece of Saml. Barnardiston, the first Bound- headf who was created Baronet after the Restoration. It was for passages in letters to Sir Philip that Sir Saml. Barnardiston was impeached and tried before Judge Jeffreys, 1683, and fined £10,000, and long imprisoned. (See ' State Trials.') It is remarkable that on the trial no use appears to have been made of the fact that the intercepted letters were to his nephew, therefore the charge of " mali- ciously and seditiously " writing them was the more unreasonable. This case of oppression has lately been alluded to in the House of Lords, with reference to re- flections on Ministers of the Crown, in letters.
In Ketton Church is a handsome mural monument for Sir Philip Skippon, with his arms quartering the arms of both his wives : —
1 and 4. Skippon. Gules, five annulets, or.
2. Brewster. Sable, a chevron between three etoiles, argent.
3. Barnardiston. Azure, a fesse dancette ermine, between six crosses crosslet, argent.
The notes at the beginning of the Bible are written by Major-General Skippon and those at the end by his son Sir Philip.
In extreamitate maxima me juvit et juvabit Jehovah.
This Bible mentioned in my testament is for my sonne Luke Skippon, let him haue it.
* Mary, daughter of Sir Thos. Barnardiston, Bart., sister to Anne, Lady Skippon, married Sir Josh. Brand, Kt., of Edwardstone, and there were several other marriages connecting the Skippons with the family of Brand.

Jaqueline of Luxembourg, Duchess of Bedford, and afterwards wife of Sir Richard Widvile, Lord Rivers, from whom so many English families descend, was not an heiress in blood. Her brother Louis, Constable of France, had issue Peter, who, by Mary of Savoy, left a daughter and sole heiress, Mary, wife of Francis de Bourbon. So long as any descendant of Henry IV. of France exists, no one descended from the Countess of Rivers can quarter the arms of Luxembourg in her right. Again, Margaret de Baux, wife of Peter de Luxembourg, was not an heiress in blood, nor was she daughter of Francis de Baux, by Beatrix of Anjou, but by Justine de Ursini, his third wife, and could have no pretensions to quarter the arms of Aniou.

The Undeehills of New Place. — William Underbill, the owner of the house at Stratford-upon-Avon which afterwards became the residence of Shak- speare, was the second son of Edward Underbill, of Nether Eatington, in South Warwickshire. He was born in 1522 or 1523. His elder brother, Thomas, who is included by Fuller among the ' Worthies of Warwickshire,' was celebrated for his exemplary life, hospitable disposition, and (though last, not least) family of twenty children.
The subject of the present notice having studied the law, became a member of the Inner Temple. He is incorrectly described as " Clerk " in a pedigree pre- served in the College of Arms.
About 1544, under the will of his grandfather, John Underbill, he became en- titled to a property in Staffordshire (the family originally came from Wolver- hampton), and some eight years later he married Ursula, the youngest daughter of John Congreve, Esq., of Congreve. Of this lady it is recorded that " her life was a spectacle unto all honest, virtuous, and obedient wives." The names of five children are given in the Herald's Visitation as the issue of this marriage, — Wil- liam, Dorothy, Elizabeth, Margaret, and Anne.
In 1551, Edmund Bury passed to his brother-in-law, William Underhill, the manor of Barton-upon-the-Heath, which place, it will be remembered, is referred to in the introduction to the ' Taming of the Shrew.' This transfer seems to have been made for family reasons only, as the estate reverted to the Burys at a later period.
In September, 155G, he presented Dr. Eoger Clerke to the living of Idlicot, of which he held the patronage.
In May, 1561, his wife died and was buried at N. Eatington, and, after a time, he married again. His second wife was Dorothy, widow of Richard Newport, and only sister of Christopher Hatton, who subsequently became Lord Chancellor.
In 1567 he purchased the mansion in Stratford-on-Avon known as "New Place," and the following year, bought the manor and estate of Idlicot. At that time he was described as \V illiam Underhill, gent., of Newbold Revel.
Malone, in referring to certain Stratford records relating to the transfer of land, mentions an indenture, executed May 30, 156S, between William Clopton, Esq., of the one part, and Sir Robert Throgmorton, Sir Thomas Lucy, Edmond Plowden, Esq., William Underhill, Esq., of Newbold Revel, and others, of the other part.
Under date January 26, 1569, the Council-book of Stratford-on-Avon has the following entry, which probably refers to him :- — " Item payd for a dyner for Mr Underell at the Swanne 17s 4d."
Still acquiring property, he purchased, in 1569, the manor of Loxley. The same year his wife, Dorothy, died. Her will, made with the sanction of her hus- band, directs that the property which had come to her on the death of her son John Newport should pass to her second husband, in consideration of the advances he had made for the payment of her debts.
Dugdale states that William Underhill died March 31, 1570. In his will, made on the previous December, he described himself as of Newbold Revel, and directed that he should be buried at N. Eatington. To his heir he left the third part of all his manors, lands, and tenements, the rest — the manor of Idlicot being held in capite — to his executors, to fulfil the intents and meaning of his will and to bring up his children.
His marble memorial has portraitures in brass and escutcheons of the arms of Underhill impaling those of Congreve. The inscription is given by Dugdale.
Of his daughters it may be added that one was married to John Harman, of Morehall; and another, Anne, to George Mathew, of Berkswell.
William Underhill, the only son and heir of the foregoing, was born in 1554, and was in his seventeenth year at the time of his father's decease. About 1577 he married his cousin Mary, daughter of Tho. Underhill, of Eatington, and resided at New Place. In 1578 his eldest son and heir, Fulk, was born. In 1583 he pre-

sented, as patron, a clerk to the living of Idlicot. On the 25th of November, 1585, the registers of Stratford state that " Elizabeth dr of M William CJndrell " was baptized. The following year, according to the Stratford records, a writ of capias was issued against him as bail for one Erancis Stone, and at the suit of Richard Dixon.
A survey taken in 1590 states that at that time " Willielmus Underbill, gen. tenet libere quandam domum vocatam " The Newe Place " cum pertinentiis per reddit. per annum 12d sect, cur." The same survey informs us that he also held in " Walker's strete unum horreum," etc.
In 1595, declining to pay to the corporation of Stratford the rent of the tithes of Little Wilnecott,* which had been leased to him, a bill of complaint was lodged by the bailiff and burgesses, and to this he put in his answer and demurrer in February, 1596-7.
Under date March 11, 1597, the Stratford records allude to an action brought by " William Underehylle gent." against John Smith, vintner, on a plea of debt.
On the 8th of April, in the same year, Walter Bassett, gent., and Sconsolate, his wife, bind themselves, under a penalty, to William Underhill, of Utlicote, co. Warwick, Esquire, in respect of the manor of Hints, near Lichfield.
About the same period one Tho. Huntbach filed a Bill in Chancery against Wil- liam and Foulk Underhill, to enforce the agreement made to sell him a farm and lands at Shustoke.
In Easter term, 1597, William Underhill sold to Shakspeare, for £60, the house at Stratford known as "New Place." The property is described as consisting of one messuage, two barns, and two gardens, with their appurtenances. It had been in the Underhill family thirty years.
William Underhill is said to have been poisoned at Eillongley. He made his will July 6, 1597, and it was proved in London in the following month. In the Inq. p. m. taken at W olverhampton, where he held property, he is described as of Eillongley : the original is preserved in the Rolls Office. To his eldest son, Eulk, he gave all his lands, and to each of his remaining sons £200, — they were Her- cules, Timothy, Ludowick, William, and Simon : of these, Hercules was knighted, and became heir on the death of Eoulke in 1598, and of him Shakspeare purchased a messuage in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1602.
The arms of the Stratford Underhills were " Argent a chevron gules between three trefoils slipped vert ;" and the crest is usually given as " a hind lodged or on a mount vert," but an old seal of the Underhills in the possession of Mr. Evelyn Ph. Shirley exhibits it as "a buck trippant."

Lucas (p. 22). — William Lucas, of Middletown, married Esther Clark, July 12, 1666. She died April 15th, and he died April 20th, 1690, leaving issue William Lucas, born April 26, 1667 ; John Lucas, born October 14, 1669 ; Mary Lucas, born 5th December, 1672 ; Thomas Lucas, born . . . 1676 ; and Samuel Lucas, born April 15, 1682. A Mr. Lucas resided at Newhaven iu 1643 with a family of six, of whom no more is heard. A Lucas family of good estate in New England is of French desceut. They came not very early across the ocean. The first emigrant, Augustus Lucas, writes of himself, — " I married 6th January, 1696, at St. Malo, in Bretagne " (see James Savage's ' Ge- nealogical Dictionary,' vol. iii.). Several of the name of Lucas resided at Col- chester some two hundred years ago, but I cannot find that any of them emigrated to New England at the time corresponding with the above William. There was a John Lucas, Abbot of Waltham, co. Essex, in 1460: he died 1475. I should feel

glad to learn some account of that individual, — as to what branch of the Lucas family he belouged, and where he was buried. I have a rubbing of a monumental brass from Lofts Wendon Church, Essex, with this inscription upon it : — ;< Eic jacent WhTus Lucas et Katerina Uxor ejus, quorum animabus PPicietur Deus, Amen." Cole, in his MS. vol. xxxv. p. 28, states the following : — " Under this ere y Figures in Brass of 4 sons and as many Daughters (wch in the sketch on y opposite Side I have mede too large in Proportion), the eldest Son is habited as a Bishop or Abbat, with a Mitre on his Head & a Crosier in his left hand, & giving his Benediction with his right : But as there never was a prelate of that name of Lucas except John Lucas, who was chosen Lord Abbat of Waltham ab* 1460, & who died 1475, this determines it to be meant for him : in all probability, therefore, this was his native Place, this account I sent to my Friend Brown "Willis Esq." The arms and date are quite gone.

Matjduit (p. 36).— "In the spring of 1669, Cosmo III., Grand Duke of Tus- cany, visited Exeter on his way from Plymouth to London." . . . He was " lodged at the New Inne (sometimes called Merchants' Hall), and ... for the more orderly doing thereof, Mr Mawdett, Mr Brodridge, and Mr Sparke were desired to assist the Beceiver therein." — 4 Act Books of the Chamber of Exeter,5 vol. ix. p. 86 ; quoted by Dr. Oliver, 1 History of Exeter,' p. 135.
" Isaac Mawditt " was Mayor of Exeter in 1673, and again in 1681. Did he, then, die in 1674, or were these two Isaacs, father and son ?
" Isaac Mawditt and Stephen Olivean " were Sheriffs of the County of the City of Exeter in 1663, and Isaac Mawditt again in 1670.
" Nongecot (near Tiverton) anno 27 of King Henry 3, belonged unto Bobert Mauduit ; whom followed John, anno 24 of Kinge Edw. 1. ; & hym Bobert Mau- duit, in anno 8 Kinge Edw. 2, & anno 19 of Kinge Edw. 3."— Pole, ed. 1791, p. 215.
" Southwood, in the parish of Exminster, was, in anno 27 of Kinge Henry 3, the land of Thomas Mauduit ; & anno 30 of Kinge Edw. 1, John Eranceis held it."— lb. p. 253.
Oldaport, in the parish of Modbury. — " WTilliam de Heanton, of Oldport, which by Jone his wief, daughter and heire of Walter de Sweinthil], had issue J one, wief of Bichard Malduit, called Somaister." — lb. p. 313.
The pedigree of "Somaster [of Pensford] " is thus given by Westcote, p. 551 : — " Bichard Maldyt, called Southmaster,* of Exon, married Joan, daughter and heir of William de Henton, and had issue Bobert ; who married Margaret, daughter and heir of John Herward, of Bothkison, and Joan, his wife, daughter and heir of John le Cornu, by whom he had issue Balph, William, Adam. This Bobert died before his father ; he sealed with the gate : which arms came to him by his mother, whose grandmother was daughter and heir to De la Port [of Olda- port]. William, of JNetherexe [close to Exeter], second son, had a daughter and heir married to [John] Limpenny. — From Adam Somaster is descended Somaster of Pensford," whose pedigree Westcote gives at p. 500, and the arms, — " Argent, a castle triple-towered between eight fleurs-de-lis [sable] . Crest, — A portcullis, with chains, argent. This part was granted for a crest by Clarence Cooke, 14th March, 1586, under his hand and seal."*
I find no notice of Balph : "William, the second son, married Alice daughter of John Prideaux, of Adeston, near Modbury, and had issue William, whose son John died without issue. JSTetherexe passed to John Limpenny, mentioned above, and was sold by him to William Hurst, of Exeter.— Pole, p. 190.
Probably the Exeter Mauduits were a branch of this very ancient family.

Lawrence and "Washington. — At a Wiltshire Archaeological Meeting held some years ago at Malmesbury, the shields with the arms of Lawrence quartering Washington, the North Wilts family, were exhibited. These came from a church at Malmesbury, the monuments to which they belonged, being removed when that church was restored. Can any of your readers tell me where those shields are now to be found, and to what branch of the Wilts Lawrences they belong ? The only Malmesbury Lawrences I know of are the following : —

" Rob* Lawrence & Joane Hollins both living in Charlton Parish were married at Malmesbury by the Alderman M1' Edward Waite Aug. 13. 1655.
" William L. of Westport & Eliza Galer of Milborne in this parish were mar- ried by Mr John Hodges Vicar 15 Oct. 16(35.
" A child of John Lawrence of Westport buried 7 Jan. 1667.
"Th03 L. of AVestport a lawyer & landholder burd 4 A. 1672."
A stone monument to the memory of Sir Lawrence Washington is now, I hear, at the Rectory, Grarsdon, three miles from Malmesbury, which originally was put up in the church at Grarsdon, and was removed there when the church was restored about ten years ago.
I am anxious to find out, first, the connection between the Lawrences and Washingtons (a North Wilts family) ; secondly, would be glad if any one could add any information to the above Lawrence descent.

Arms.— Among the papers of a deceased relative which have lately come into my possession there is a square of parchment emblazoned as follows : —
Sable between four fleurs-de-lis or a cross argent, charged with five pheons azure, impaling gules a lion rampant or.
Crest (on the helmet of an esquire) : On a mount vert a stag argent, antlered and hoofed or, behind him a tree vert, lambrequin argent and gules.
Wreath, argent and sable. No motto.
There is no name or writing of any sort giving any clue to the ownership. If any of your readers can supply it, I shall feel obliged.

Crow of G-oldtngton aed Disher of London. — To the settlement on mar- riage of Dorothy Crow, of London, spinster, one of the daughters and coheirs of William Crow, late of Groldington, Bedfordshire, gentleman, with William Disher, of London, merchant, dated 23 March, 1699, are the seals of Dorothy Crow and William Disher. That of Dorothy Crow is here given. The seal used by William
Disher is much mutilated. The arms appear to be a chevron between three double- headed eagles displayed. Crest, a centaur passant reguardant drawing a bow and arrow.
I should be glad to know whether there were any descendants from this mar- riage.
I may mention that the mother of Dorothy Crow was Anne Crow, a widow at date of execution of the settlement.

John Hilles, D.D. — Can any of your readers inform me what arms were borne by John Hilles, D.D., Master of Catherine Hall, Cambridge, and Archdea- con of Lincoln, who died in 1626 ? He mentions in his will, made in 1625, his sons John, Heigham, Robert, William, and Thomas, also his daughters Anne, Susan, and Jane. Anne married Edward Aylmer, D.D., of Claydon Hall, Suffolk, a grandson of the Bishop of London. Information respecting any of his family will greatly oblige.

Riciiard Stonelet. — Information is requested respecting Richard Stoneley, one of the Tellers of the Exchequer, originally of Warwick, and who purchased — in the year 1579, of the Oxford family — Dodinghurst, in Essex. He married (see Burke's ' Commoners,' "Taylor of Clifton ") Anne, daughter and coheir of John Braunche, Esq., by Ellen, daughter and coheir of Francis Hampden, and had issue two daughters, coheiresses, — Dorothy, married to William Dawtrey, of Moor House, Sussex, and Anne, the wife of William LTeigham, of East Ham, Essex.
The arms of Stoneley were, — Azure on a fesse between three bucks' heads caboshed or a fleur-de-lis of the first between two demi-roses gules. And Anne (who married Heigham) and her descendants quartered with this coat, — Azure a fesse between three scythe-blades (or horns) or.
This quartering does not agree either with the arms of Braunche or Hampden ; it is more like the coat of Brayne of Gloucestershire. Can any of your corre- spondents offer an explanation '{

Sib, G-eorge Smith, Knight. — I am extremely anxious to establish the identity between the Sir G-eorge Smith (or Smythe), of Matford, co. Devon, knight, alluded to in Westcote's ' View of Devonshire,' 1845, pp. 187, 470, 631 : and Burke's ' Landed Grentry,' title " Granville of Wellesbourne :" the Sir G-eorge Smyth, of Motford, co. Dorset, referred to in the Harleian MSS. 1166, fo. 9 ; 1451, fo. 17 ; 1539, fo. 96 : and G-eorge Smith, of Mudford, co. Somerset, whose name occurs in Hutchins's ' Dorset,' first edition, 1774, vol. i. p. 151 ; second edition, 1796, vol. i. p. 248 ; third edition, 1861, vol. i. part iii. p. 408. All the Sir G-eorge Smiths above mentioned lived in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. I presume that Matford, co. Devon, Motford, co. Dorset, and Mudford, co. Somerset, are in reality the same place, and that a clerical error has been committed by the transcribers of the Harleian MSS. I may add that I have private reasons of my own for coming to this conclusion, but I wish to be confirmed in my view of the case. My object would be fully attained if I could ascertain the names of all the daughters of Sir G-eorge Smith, of Matford, and of the gentlemen of quality to whom they were married.
Thomas Parr Henning.
P.S. — I find upon consulting Westcote, p. 631, that Sir George Smith formed two matrimonial alliances. Perhaps this circumstance would assist in throwing light upon the point in question.

MEMORANDA RELATING^ TO THE ARCHBOLD FAMILY OF ALNWICK. +
The Archbolds were a family of importance in Alnwick for at least a century and a half. William, the first recorded, was at South Park in 1650, and John, the last of them in Alnwick, died there in 1805. Successive members of the family

were bailiffs to the Earls of Northumberland, tenants of Cawledge South Park — still called Arehbold's Park, — and owners of considerable property in the parish of Alnwick. St. Thomas's lands, formerly part of the possessions of Alnwick Abbey, and other fields, and several burgages in the town belonged to them. They loom largely in Alnwick Church : on the monumental limestone slab " Gulielmi Archbold," their arms, a lion rampant between six fleurs-de-lis, and crest, a fleur- de-lis, are grandly sculptured, and they appear, too, with the initials I. A. and date 1711, on the lintel of a doorway of one of the burgages which belonged to them.
The Archbolds were a long-lived race. William, the first of them, died in 1700, aged 82 years ; John, the next, died in 1730, aged 7 6 years ; Edward, the third in succession, died in 1764, aged 79 years ; and John, the last of them, in 1805, aged 83 years : so that the united ages of four successive generations amount to three hundred and twenty years.

Hawoeth oe Howoeth Pedigeee. — A branch of this ancient family migrated from Haworth, in the township of Hundersfield, near Eochdale, on the borders of Yorkshire and Lancashire, and settled in Snaith for some generations, and then came to Hull in the latter half of the seventeenth century.
Dr. James, in the ' Iter Lancastrense,' written 1636, thus describes his visit to Haworth Hall : —
" To Eobin Howorth from whose Eamilie Great Noble Peers derive their progenie."
This Eobin Howorth was born in 1600 and succeeded his father, Edmund Howorth, of Howorth, and is mentioned by Sir Eichard St. G-eorge in his Visita- tion of Lancaster in 1613. He was the twenty-second in lineal descent from Osbert Howord de Howord, who was Master of the Buck-hounds in the time of Henry II., and who received certain lands in Howord for his good and faithful services to his sovereign.
The Snaith and Hull parish registers contain the following entries : —
" Adam Hawworth married 1540 Allyson Greene." (Snaith.)
" Hen. Haworth married 1568 Agnes Lambert." (Whitgift.)

Benjamin Haworth, 1756.= Anne Booth, heiress of the Lincolnshire Booths,

The registers at Snaith are defective in several places, and in some years no entries were made, e.g. from 1657 to 1661.
* I much wish to ascertain the names of the father and mother of Mrs. Mary Haworth and date of her marriage.
Also the date of the marriage of Joshua Haworth and Dorothy Stephenson.
Also the date of baptism and the parentage of Peter Haworth, of Rawcliife and Snaith, and some further account of his first wife, Jane.
I shall be especially thankful for any particulars respecting the early members of the Haworth family who settled at Snaith, so as to connect them directly with the family, and later owners of Haworth Hall during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
Also for information, from the Court Rolls of Snaith or otherwise, as to Henrie Heworth or Haworth, who married Agnes Lambert, and Thomas Haworth, who married Mary Baynton.
The arms of Stephenson of Swinefleet, near Snaith, were — Grules on a bend argent three leopards' faces vert.
The arms of Haworth same as Haworth of Haworth, viz. Azure a bend between two stags' heads couped or. Crest : A stag's head couped gules, attired or, with a wreath about its neck argent.

John Witiiie and Richard Mundy. — Can any of your correspondents in- form me where I can find any biographies or notices of John Withie or Richard Mundy, the well-known transcribers of the Heralds' Visitations in the seventeenth century, so many of which are in the Harleian Library in the British Museum ? Had they any appointment under the heralds, or were the transcripts made for any particular library ?

Clause or St. Ives (p. 36).— The seal of Eobert Clarke, elder, of St. Ives, 1686, appears to be compounded with the arms of Lawrence of St. Ives. On reference to the pedigree of the latter family, it will be observed that a lady of it married a Clarke early in the seventeenth century.

Pedigree of Best (p. 44). — In a pedigree in my possession I find mention of Edward Turner (son of Thomas Turner, of Gray's Inn and Canterbury, by Eliza- beth, daughter of Sir Edward Boys, of Eredvile), who married, about 1670-80, Elizabeth Best. I am anxious to know whether there was issue of the marriage.

Lascelles. — The following is the only entry relating to this family in the parish registers of Langton, near Malton : —
" 1657. Mris Lassells of Thornthorp buried February ye 6th." And in the church of St. Leonard's, Malton, —
" Mr Swinburn Lascelles, Attorney at Law, was Buried in Woollen the 27th of December 1729."

Sir Isaac Heard, Garter. — I have a fine China bowl bearing the arms of Sir Isaac Heard, Garter King of Arms. I think it must have been presented to him for some particular service ; but as I am uncertain, I should be glad if any one could give information on the subject.

Arms (p. 47). — To " C. J. B." I suggest that the emblazonment he inquires about may posssibly pertain to the name of Banks. The arms on the dexter side are nearly those of Banks, of Aylesford, co. Kent, which are said to be Sable on a cross between four fleurs-de-lis argent five pheons azure. The bearing impaled, gules a lion rampant or, was that of D' Albany, Albney, and Albini.

Smeaton. — Can any of your correspondents inform me where a pedigree of the family of Smeaton, living at Kirk Smeaton, near Pontefract, about 1400, is given ; or state what arms they bore ? Also whether John Smeaton, the builder of Eddy- stone lighthouse, who was born at Austhorpe, near Leeds, in 1724, was descended from that family ?

* Also ancestor of Lords Abinger and Campbell, Sir A. J.

White Family. — John White carne to Ireland, from England, in a year between 1695 and 1702. I have some faint recollection of hearing that he came from Kent. He purchased lands which had been forfeited by the adherents of King James in 1702, in the counties of Limerick and Tipperary, in which a Mr. John Marshall was a partner for a part, lie lived and died at Cappagh, in the county of Tipperary, which is still called Cappagh White, after him. He died in 1718. His first wife was Susanna, sister to Richard Newport, Esq., of Longford, in the county of Limerick ; she died 7th December, 1700, and was buried in the family vault at Toem, co. Tipperary. His second wife was Catherine Mann, a widow : she was sister to Lord Muskerry (Deane) . His children by his first wife were Richard, Newport, Rebecca, and Catherine.
Rev. Newport White married Fanny Forster. His sons were, — John, married Catherine Hunt ; Richard, died at Smyrna, in Asia Minor ; Newport, married Mary levers.
Newport's youngest son, Benjamin, married Catherine, eldest daughter of New- port White, eldest son of John and Catherine. His three sons were Rev. Newport Benjamin, Rev. Henry Vere, and John Davis.
John White, first named, had three half-brothers, who came to Ireland at the same time as he did. His mother's name was Schuldam. They were the children of a Miss Hamilton. Their names were Benjamin, William, and Hamilton. Ben- jamin was ancestor of the branch of the family known as the Whitehall branch, Finch White, of Kincora, near Killaloe, being the representative ; William, of the Whites of Greenhall, New Ross, and Manister ; Hamilton, of the Bantry family
