The witnesses to the will were Jane HARRISON, Henry ADDISON and A. R. HARRISON.
The Countess OSSALINSKY, mother of Mrs. William HARRISON, was the owner of
Thirlmere Lake, which was purchased from her by the Manchester Corporation, to supply
water to the City. She was awarded the sum of 70,000, after the case had gone to
arbitration, although her net income from the property had been but 522. On the
receipt of the award, the Corporation took steps in the Queen's Bench to set it acide;
a compromise was, however, effected, and the action was not
proceeded with.
From John HARRISON'S sister Catharine, wife of Anthony ADAMSON, the present Lieut.-
Colonel John George ADAMSON, late of the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, of
Linden, Longhorsley, Northumberland, and Glenfarne Hall, County Leitrim, J.P., High
Sheriff of County Leitrim 1900, is descended, and to whom I am indebted for much
valuable information relating to the HARRISON family.
This pedigree probably might be considerably extended by an inspection of the
HARRISON wills at Carlisle.

These documents are in the Public Record Office, Chancery Lane,
"
bound up in 274 volumes ; official reference State Papers Domestic,
Interregnum, G. I to G. 269." They include Scotland. They are
referred to by means of very extensive, though very imperfect MS.
indexes of names and places, a part of which (an Index Nominum
covering surnames from A. to F.) was printed by Mr. PHILLIMORE in
1893, in volume III. of The Index Library. The old MS. indexes
" 1st
refer to a superseded system of numbering the volumes as of
"
Series," and 2nd Series," but the pagination is unchanged. For a
table, reconciling the old numbering with the new, application should
be made to the officer in charge of the search-room.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
The Executive Committee met as usual in the Society's Rooms on the second Wednesday
in each month at 2 p.m. Meetings of Fellows to elect new Fellows are held, on the same
day and at the same place, at 3.30. All Members will receive an invitation to attend the
Annual General Meeting in June, when our new President offers himself for election.
At the Meeting of the 9th April it was resolved that representations be made to the
Master of the Rolls to urge the throwing open to inspection without fee to students, of the
following classes of records :
Chancery Proceedings to 1842.
Feet of Fines to their termination in 1834.
Close Rolls to 1842, or to within 70 years of the present day.
The Royal Commission on Public Records was written to in reference to the restrictive
regulations in the Registrar-General's Office as to Birth, Marriage, and Death Registers
since 1837, an d as to records not transmitted to the Public Record Office by the High
Court of Judicature, and by the Legacy Duty Office. Sir Thomas TROUBRIDGE reported
his attendance as this Society's delegate at the Meetings in April of the International
Congress of Historical Studies. The Membership Roll is now 233, a net gain of 15- since

in the slips of the main collection and some help has been given in this work personally
by Members.

city until his death in December 1763 he was buried in Harrow Churchyard
on the loth December, 1768. Of his parentage and antecedents I have not been
able to discover anything, except that his father lived in or near Windsor and
possessed a green French snuff-box with gold rims and a silver medal inscribed
"
Growing Arts adorn Empire."
He married soon not before, he came to Harrow, and his wife's Chris-
after, if
tian name was I have not been able to find her parentage, and
Elizabeth.
though family tradition has for fifty years past asserted that she was one of the
three handsome daughters of an Oxford tradesman, named BOSSOM, of whom the
eldest, Sarah, married 1 7th September, 1738, John PRINSEP, B.A., for some time
Vicar of Bicester in Oxfordshire, family tradition in this instance appears to be
wrong, because an entry in the Register of Marriages at the church of St. Thomas
the Martyr in Oxford records that Elizabeth BOSSOM was married there by Licence
1 6th
September, 1748, to one Samuel REEVES of the parish of St. Nicholas,
Abingdon, possibly a brother of the Henry REEVES above mentioned.
Elizabeth REEVES, after the death of her husband an event which apparently
reduced the family to penury appears to have established herself in business in
Fleet Street, in partnership with, or at least with the assistance of a married sis-
ter, Dinnis WEIR; and with the help and advice of one John THORNE, trading as
a wine and spirit merchant at 165 Fleet Street, and of Benjamin BOOTH, also of
Fleet Street, who was from 1767 to 1783 a Director of the East India Company,
she seems to have carried on her business very profitably for about twenty-seven
years: she died in March 1796 and was buried at Harrow 3ist March, leaving
real estate of some value at Harrow as well as personal property, accumulated
all
by her business in Fleet Street. Her will, signed 21 October, 1783, and a codicil,
added 29 March, 1794, were both proved by John THORNE, sole executor, in
the Prerogative Court of Canterbury on 28 April, 1796.
The Harrow Church Registers record that Henry and Elizabeth REEVES had
thirteen children six daughters and seven sons, as here enumerated
: :
Of the five sons who lived to maturity, one, Thomas REEVES (No. 9) appears to
have died unmarried before his mother, and the other four Henry (No. 3),
Robert (No. 10), Frederick (No. 12), and James Pearson (No. 13) all married
and had issue and were living at the date (29 March, 1794) on which their mother
signed the Codicil to her will.
The eldest son, Henry REEVES (No. 3), was a little more than seventeen years
of age at the date of his father's death, and notwithstanding his youth, was
his father's successor in the situation of Writing Master
apparently appointed
and Usher at Harrow School, as in the School List for 1770 the earliest it is
stated, now extant Henry REEVES appears bracketed with Mr. BENMARDIN as
Writing Masters.
This Henry REEVES seems to have retained this situation for nearly fifty years,
until the year 1819, as in the School List for that year the name of Henry REEVES
disappears and that of Mr. MARILLIER appears for the first time as Writing
Master.
at Harrow Church, 10 October, 1778, Margaret
Henry REEVES married
PEARCE,of the parish of St. Martin's in the Fields, and dying at Harrow in 1826,
aged 76, was buried in Harrow Churchyard 14 March. By his wife, who was
buried in Harrow Churchyard, 7 March, 1805, he seems to have had one son,
Henry Charles REEVES, baptized in Harrow Church, 24 June, 1783, and two
daughters, Margaret Elizabeth Frederick REEVES, baptized at Harrow Church,
15 January, 1782, and Mary Eliza REEVES, buried in Harrow Churchyard
5 November, 1 788. I cannot myself find out anything about this son and daughter,
who seem to have survived their father; but I have been told by Mr. George
ESDAILE, of the Old Rectory, Platt in Rusholme, Lancashire, that one Henry
Charles REEVES, who lived for many years at Harrow and subsequently in London,
married the sister of the wife of his uncle William George MEECHAM, namely
Mary Ann SHREEVE, who was born 17 May, 1792, and died his widow without
children at Albert Villa, New Road, Shepherd's Bush, 18 December, 1870,
being buried in Brompton Cemetery. Her will was vicariously executed by an
adopted daughter 29 November, 1869, and was admitted to probate I February,
1871. She had been for many years in the enjoyment of an annuity settled upon
her, whether by will or otherwise is not known, by Henry PAGE, the last of the
PAGES of Wembley, Middlesex, who died in 1 829.
There was said to have been some degree of relationship between the PAGES
of Wembley and Henry REEVES of Harrow. By his will, dated 23 June, 1803,
Richard PAGE of Wembley bequeathed to Henry REEVES of Harrow and Charles
Henry REEVES his son, the sum of one hundred pounds apiece, but in the PAGE
pedigree which I have seen I can find no trace of any relationship with Henry
REEVES.
About the sons, Robert (No. 10), and James Pearson (No. 13), I can obtain no
information except that both were married, and each had a daughter named

tory for 1808, James DUFF, Esq., is mentioned among the private residents as
living at 13, Albion street, Blackfriars road. James DUFF died at Banff on I April,
1812, according to the following extract from The Gentleman's Magazine of
the year in question (pt. I, p. 489, May): " April I. At Bamff (sic), N.B.,
Jas.
DUFF, Esq., of the House of GORDON, DUFF, and Co. of Madeira."
James Gordon DUFF, the son, married, first, 4 October 1817, Frances, second
daughter of James WILLIAMSON, Esq., of Tavistock square. In the entry in
The Gentleman's Magazine recording the marriage (1817, pt. II, p. 466, Nov.)
he is described as " James Gordon DUFF, Esq., of Madeira, and of Brunswick
square, London." She died on 16 October, 1826, as is proved by the following
extract from The Gentleman's Magazine for that year (pt. II, p. 379, Oct.);
"
Oft. 1 6. In Duchess street, Portland place, aged 33, Frances, wife of James
Gordon DUFF, Esq." He apparently married a second time, as I have found the
following reference in The Gentleman's Magazine (1838, pt. I, p. 204, Feb.):
"Births. Dec. 10 I n Harley street the wife of James Gordon DUFF,
[1837].
Esq., a dau." He died on I Aug. 1845, aged 57 not " about 70 " as stated by
your correspondent; according to this age he was born in or about 1788, which
agrees with the entry in the Admission Register to St. Paul's School. His death
is recorded as follows in The Gentleman's for
"
Magazine 1845 (pt. II, p. 321,
Sept.) Aug. i. Aged 57, James Gordon DUFF, Devonport street, Hyde Park."
With regardto General Patrick DUFF, I would direft your correspondent's
attention to the following extracts from the publication that I have
already cited
so many times: 1803 (pt. I, p. 197, Feb.) "Deaths. Feb. 2. At Edinburgh,
Major-General Patrick DUFF, of the East India Company's service; and, on the
6th, his wife." 1817 (pt. I, p. 572, June.) "Deaths. June 3. In Hans

Place, Chelsea, in her 22<1. year, Margaret SINCLAIR, eldest daughter of the
late General Patrick DUFF, of Carnousie, Banffshire."
There seems to be good circumstantial evidence justifying the assumption
that James DUFF, the merchant of London and Madeira, was connected with Sir
James DUFF, the British Consul at Cadiz.
The greater part of the above information was obtained by a few hours' cur-
sory search through The Gentleman's Magazine, and I would suggest to your
correspondent that he should make copies of all the DUFF references therein from
1731 to 1850. They are not excessively numerous and would be certain to yield
additional information of value. jj. A. F.
name of CLOKEY were living in the Co. Down, principally in the Ballynahinch
district and between that town and Dromore. They were strong Presbyterians
and took an active part in the rising of '98. Joseph CLOKEY was second in com-
mand of the Downshire men at the Battle of Ballynahinch. His son Joseph was
" aide " to General MONRO. Both father and son were
captured. The son was
executed, but the father escaped from Dublin Castle and took boat for America,
where his descendants still live. According to tradition the first to settle in the
Co. Down were two brothers, William and Joseph CLOKEY. They were in the
army of WILLIAM III., and fought at the Boyne, receiving property in Bal-
lynahinch for their services. A tradition says they joined WILLIAM from
Scotland ; another that they were originally of a Huguenot family CLOQUET, who
were refugees from France during the reign of Louis XIV. A number of songs
about Joseph CLOKEY (probably the younger) used to be current in the Co. Down.
I heard my grandmother sing some of them when I was a boy. The following
couplet is all that remains in my memory :
"
The Croppies they're fighting at Ballinasloe,
Led on by young CLOKEY and General MONRO."
I shallbe indebted to anyone who can throw further light on the matter.
Can anyone say if copies of the songs are still to be had or if they may be seen
anywhere, or if there was a French Huguenot family named CLOQUET ? Pro-
bably variations of spelling in Great Britain are :
CLOKY, CLOKIE, CLOCKIE, and
perhaps the English CLOAKE. T

CROUCH, BODDINGTON AND COX versus COX."
At St.Helen's Place in Bishopsgate Street, an eighteenth century
cut de sac not quite spoiled yet by modern improvements, may still
be found the brass plate of the firm of " BODDINGTONS," West India
merchants.
"
In the archives of that firm, in bag, box, trunk, or chest, locked or
unlocked," are still preserved musty parchments reciting the names
of West Indian slaves, Pompey, Quashie and whatnot, when their
corporal bodies were transferable as chattels, belonging, with the rest
of the movable stock, to the plantations whence came the old Jamaica
rum and Demerara sugar of our forefathers.
The firm was established, in close proximity to its present offices,
so far back as 1677, witness the London Directory of that year,
" the
oldest printed list of the Merchants and Bankers of London, very
useful and necessary .... directing them at the first sight of their
name to the place of their abode."
"
George BODDINGTON, Great S*. Hellen's."
CROUCH, senior, the boy's father,and drafts were remitted from time
to time to meet the current expenses of clothing and schooling of
CROUCH junior, whom the BODDINGTON family had come to regard
almost as one of themselves.
Then came the news of the father's death in March, 1783, and the
announcement that Messrs. BODDINGTON were appointed executors
in trust for the son. The amount of the estate then held in trust for
him was 18,511 35.
Here is a description of the father in his last days :
Mrs. WISSTON of Dark Valley, Antigua, was formerly Miss BOTT, daughter of
John BOTT, in whose house Charles CROUCH the elder frequently resided, and
with whom the son lived until his departure to England to be placed under the
care of Mr. BODDINGTON. This lady states that she remembers both CROUCH,
the Father, and the Son, a Child, very well. The elder was a Man of spare
figure about 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high rather stooping in the Shoulders, his hair
thin and scant, forgets the colour, thin longish nose. The Son was a puny
Child, very thin, but not unhealthy, does not remember Mrs. CROUCH, who died
before the older CROUCH visited her (Mrs. WISSTON'S) Father's House, but heard
she had kept a Shop in the Town of St. John's, while she was Mrs. RIDER and
had Negroes hired to the King's Dock Yard, which in those days brought her
in a considerable income prior to her marriage with Mr. CROUCH the elder, who
she conceives was greatly influenced to the match by the prospect of participating
in her property and which she thinks was the origin of Mr. CROUCH'S property
prior to his marriage he was in low circumstances filling the situation of a Writing
Clerk. After Mrs. CROUCH'S death he placed his Son to reside with Mr. BOTT'S
Family and left the Island, she believes, concerned in some speculations with a
Mr. Charles KERR here (I presume in the St. Lucia Business in the Agent Vic-
tually (sic) Department) his St. Lucia Speculation must have greatly increased
his property, which he had in specie here on his return he quarrelled with Mr.
BOTT for incurring two items of expence for his Son during his absence, viz.
8 Dollars for the Doctor for inoculating him for the Small Pox and a fee for
Christening the child, and on that account he himself left Mr. BOTT'S House and
went and resided with a Mrs. HUGGINS who kept a Boarding House where he died.
Mrs. WISSTON continues that he was parsimonious and while in the
Boarding house almost denied himself of the necessaries of life that he would
not occupy a Bed room but slept on a Sofa in the Hall, and on the approach of
dissolution was with great difficulty prevailed upon by a friend to make a Will.
Dr. BLIZARD his medical Attendant used every endeavour but in vain to induce
him to leave his Daughter in Law Miss RIDER even a small portion of the large
sum spread before him on the Table near the Sofa on which he was dying and
which on the occasion of the making of the Will had been transferred from a
Trunk and reckoned he left her the House in Spring Gardens but nothing else,
;
and kept feeling and passing his fingers over his money until sensation left him.
Up come the claimants to the property, from all parts of the earth ;
people of whom the CROUCHES, father and son, never heard, and
certainly never thought of endowing. The solicitors write of an
experience which must in such cases be common enough :
jmKfj
The Law charges of our House from the time of Messrs. WESTON being first
consulted by Messrs. BODDINGTON in the year 1797 including the expense of the
Commission and the proceedings under it down to the month of August 1822 have
been, from time to time, taxed by the Master, and paid by the Accountant-
General, the same amounting in the whole to no more than 617 45. lod.
and our Bill from 1822 to the death of the Lunatic and our subsequent
charges for the Advertisements for next of kin, and consequent upon them,
are also inconsiderable as compared with the objects, but these latter it has not
been possible to controul as we should have desired in consequence of the
innumerable, and continual applications, made to us and which both as to those
by Letter and those made personally, and particularly the latter we have had the

greatest difficulty in dealing with especially as most of the Applicants have been
persons of little or no education, a circumstance which did not however make it
less obligatory on us to pay them every attention and afford them every infor-
mation there being nothing to shew that persons so situated might not prove to
be the parties for whom we had so long been anxiously seeking the next of kin
of the Lunatic, and, under this head, we can safely say, that no Bill we could
make out would be anything like an adequate compensation to us for the occupa-
tion of our time and the trouble we have had in the investigation of the claims,
which have been addressed to us, and with regard to which it has been our painful
task to have to endeavour to convince those, who could not be satisfied.

During the ensuing eight years, 1781 to 1789, TUDOR apparently
served as Sergeant in the same troop, and was stationed successively
at Croydon, Lincoln, New Malton, Yorks, Kingston, Lewes, Maid-
stone, Norwich, Malta, Melton Mowbray, Nottingham, Croydon and
"
Chichester. While at the last place he is marked in 1789 discharged
24 July." Whatever that may mean he still appears in the rolls
1790-93 of the same troop, but as Quartermaster, stationed at
Canterbury, Norwich, Newark and Barnet, and in 1794 at Nottingham
he attains the rank of Paymaster and signs the roll.
In 1795 he is still Quartermaster (at Newcastle) though marked as
Adjutant from Christmas day 1794; Cornet 29 April 1797 (without
purchase); Lieutenant 7 May 1797; "exchange to 47th Foot,"
June 1799, where, however, I do not find him in the Pay Lists. On
16
August 1799, h e was ma de Captain in the Royal Waggon Train;
Major 3 December 1803; Lieutenant-Colonel 25 July 1810, and 6
June 1814; Colonel 12 August 1819, and in November 1819 he is
gazetted Lieutenant-Colonel in the 1st Royal Veteran Battalion,
being then 69 years of age.
In December 1828 a Return of Officers' Services was compiled by
the War Office from information supplied by the officers themselves.
TUDOR, then seventy-eight years of age, gives his total years of ser-
vice as fifty-eight, mentions the date and place of his marriage, and
enumerates his children as follows :
He had been, he said, for the past five years resident in Lambeth.
Our next record is that of his death (War Office Records, Class 42,
T. 227). His widow, Mrs. Sarah TUDOR, produces marriage cer-
"
tificate, medical certificate that Colonel Charles TUDOR of Doris
street, Lambeth, died 6 November, 1830, in his 8 1st. year, from
*

Mary's, Lambeth, 1 3 November. The number of the house in Doris
street was 9.

The War Office records (Class 4, volumes 557 and 559) further
supply copies of correspondence with the relatives in respect of
arrears of pension. On the n February 1831, Mrs. S. TUDOR is
written to at Doris street; again on the 28 February; on the 23 March,
Mrs. WESTBROOK (a daughter) is written to at 9 Doris street, on 31
March, Mrs. Sarah TUDOR, and on the 31 August 1832, Lieutenant
TUDOR, II, Walnut Tree Walk, Lambeth, is written to the same time
that the Paymaster General is notified
" it is the
King's pleasure that
you do issue to Lieutenant Charles TUDOR, H.M's. 23rd. Dragoons,
without the production of Letters of Administration, the pension
due to the late Mrs. TUDOR, widow of Lt.-Col. TUDOR, 1st Royal

Lieutenant Charles TUDOR (1781-1867), the eldest son, was on the

He was father of Frederick TUDOR (1814-69), whose only child was

Miss Elizabeth LINDSAY, when she, herself, was probably nine years
old, on one of her visits to her great-aunt HOLLYMAN, remembers
calling, with Mrs. Elizabeth HOLLYMAN, upon a Mrs. PEARCE (at
Aylesbury) who, she understood, was the widow of a Timothy
BODDINGTON of Cuddington and who addressed Mrs. HOLLYMAN
" " "
as Betsy or Cousin Betsy."
The nonagenarian (aged 94) had no remembrance in 1912 of a
BODDINGTON intermarriage with his branch of the PEARCES though he
seemed to know the Thame Mill family well and respect their
memory, perhaps largely because of Timothy BODDINGTON and his
accordance in the Wesleyan Methodist religion.

MAR. 1914] [VoL. Ill, No. 28.
This pedigree is compiled, for the most part, from the registers of
the Society of Friends. Edward MAY of Drayton Mill was a Minister
of that Society, of which also many of his descendants have been and
are prominent members. The senior branch of the family, which
emigrated to South Australia in 1839, was among the pioneers of that
Faith in the Antipodes.
A large amount of research has failed to decide the parentage of
Edward MAY of Drayton Mill. The leading theory on the subject
is based on the connection of the
family with the clockmaking industry.
Mr. Walter MAY of Woodford, who has made a collection of clocks
and watches by makers of the name, suggests that one John MAY,
a clockmaker in London, towards the end of the seventeenth century,

FOTHERGILL
The following letter, printed in full with many others, in The
Pothergills of Ravenstonedale (Heinemann, 1905) gives with humour
and insight some character sketches, as rare as they are delightful,
written by a born genealogist of the eighteenth century. It is by
Thomas FOTHERGILL (1715-96), Provost of Queen's College, Oxford,
and one of the seven sons of Henry FOTHERGILL of Lockholme, to his
stay-at-home brother Richard (1708-85), of Wharton Hall, after his
brother Junes 's death in 1739, and before his brother George became,
in 1751, Principal of St. Edmund's Hall. It is undated, and there
seems to be no signature to it, but it was addressed from Oxford, and
runs as follows :
" Dear
Brother,
"
I cannot tell what sort of an entertainment I shall furnish out for you by
this carrier ; but I intend we shall make a visit to people not yet raised into being.
The novelty of the subject must make amends for the poverty of the perfor-
mance. I remember, Richy, we have often pleased ourselves with inquieries
after our forefathers, and have been mightily entertained with but very imperfect
accounts of what such men they were, and what characters they bore, in the
time they lived. Some of our posterity may, perhaps, be as inquisitive as we
have been, and think it (a hundred years hence) no unpleasing employment to
guess at the tempers and chara&ers of us, who have the present period of time
allotted toa6Un.
"
sometimes, consider myself as bearing a part in the conversation of this
I
future assembly, and shall, therefore, send you what guesses we may suppose
can be made, what traces will remain of our family at that distant period of
time.
" About
that time, perhaps, it will be said, lived Henry FOTHERGILL. He was
accounted a very pious, honest man, one that did not much concern himself in
parish affairs, though he did not wholly withdraw himself from them; for we
find, he had been several times of the grand jury, and they say 'tis he that's
mentioned in the copy of the brief for rebuilding the church and, indeed, I am
apt to believe it, for the church and steeple were certainly both rebuilt in the
latter part of his time, and there was no other Harry FOTHERGILL remarkable
in the parish at this time besides.
" His wife "
(we are not assured where she came from) [this must be intended
for a humorous hit at his mother, for her parentage and early home were per-
" but she was an
fectly well known in the dale], exceeding wise and discreet
woman, of an uncommon tenderness towards her children, and universally
esteemed for her prudence and care in the management of her family. These
two lived a long time very happily together, and were man and wife between
forty and fifty years.
MAR. 1914] THE PEDIGREE REGISTER in
" Reach hither that old NELSON'S Fasts and Festivals* and
you'll see that they
had nine children. Here, you see, two died very young, and so we have not
heard much of them. George was the eldest son, a man of great abilities, and
uncommon prudence and discernment in his actions. Something of a cautious,
reserved, serious disposition, though very cheerful and entertaining betimes,
especially with two or three cordial friends by whom he knew himself to be much
esteemed.
" He was
perceived, almost in his childhood, to have so strong a bent for
learning, that his father was persuaded (though, indeed, he always had a mind to
breed up some of his sons scholars) to send him to Oxford.
"
It was said he made great progress in learning, and was highly esteemed by
the most distinguished men there, which is not at all unlikely. For here are
still some of his sermons remaining, which seem to be wrote with great strength
of reason, and good sense, and were, I'll warrant you, accounted fine sermons in
those times. In short, he passed through the world with a great character for
learning and piety, and died possessed of good preferments in the Church.
" Their second He was of a
son, Richard, was of quite a different turn.
cheerful, lively disposition, and loved mirth and good humour. He was very
affable and human, loved to see all around him happy, much given to reading,
which brought him in such stores of good sense, and so much assisted his natural
elocution, that he had soon the advantage over those of his own rank, and was
admitted into the conversation of men far his superior in age and fortune. He
was very happy in a cheerful, good-natured wife, who loved him most tenderly,
and no couple ever enjoyed more domestic comfort than they.
" He had a
strange art of pleasing people, especially those below him, nor,
indeed, did he ever fail in winning the esteem and favour of any he regarded.
But, then, he was not always so careful in keeping alive the good opinion of
others as he was in gaining it. For the first and common restraints of a new
friendship being over, a certain vivacity and openness of temper would betray
him into some levities, which, however diverting and innocent, are not the
greatest recommendations to a lasting esteem. He had a very generous and
noble turn of mind, was greatly beloved in his lifetime, and much lamented and
talked of at his death, and was said never to have lost a sensible friend.
"
Henry, the next son, was a very ingenious man, and educated at Oxford.
He was of a timid and tender disposition, though not without some mixture of
peevishness in it. He lived rather in good understanding with all, than intimacy
with any. He was accounted by all a man of good breeding and much politeness,
and was seldom, if ever, known to give offence. He passed very peaceably
through the world, and left a fair character behind him.
"
Willy was the fourth son, a man who was endowed with a generous and good
temper, to a very high degree. He had no very entertaining or witty turn in
conversation, yet the known goodness of his heart made him acceptable every-
where. And sure, never man was possessed of a greater share of general goodwill
than he, and perhaps few ever deserved it better, for he was the truest friend,
with the least show imaginable; nor was it possible for any man to be oppressed
if his endeavours could be of service, for he was always most ready and willing

to do a kindness, out of the pure goodness of his heart, without any design or
expectation of a return.
" He was a
great support to his father, and much beloved by him. He's
spoke of, to this day, as a very honest man, and all the old people bless his
descendants.
" Tom* was a man of a
very different character to all intents and purposes,
for he did not care how great a name and sway he had, and how little real service
he did to deserve them. He had little to commend him but a volatile tongue,
some humour, and a good share of resolution ; and yet, I don't know how it was,
he was generally of more consideration than his elder brother. He was a strange
mixture of jollity and gravity. We have heard some old people say, that, in
conversation, he was apt to give too great a liberty both to his tongue and fancy;
others, that he was too stiff and reserved. But, I fancy, this might be owing to
his being among strangers, or among his intimate acquaintances, by whom he
knew himself to be pretty well esteemed. Though he was very ambitious, we
never hear that he made much out. They say he died in some part of the south
country, and left a great family behind him.
"
James was next, a youth of rare endowments for virtue and goodness. He
was indefatigable on the improvement of his mind, by reading the best authors,
which, well digested, gave him such a noble and generous way of thinking as
raised him far above the common rank. Yet, far from being anyways proud or
assuming, he was always full of condescension and humanity, and was of such
an inimitable sweetness, fancy, and delight in conversation as mightily endeared
him to all acquaintance. His wit was very bright and sparkling, but then, so
happily tempered by innocence and good-nature, that no one had ever cause to
wish it less. He was a great lover of open, innocent, and improving conver-
sation, and was in such high delight upon these occasions that his whole heart,
sentiments, and soul were his friends. He had a great abhorrence of vice and
meanness, even so far as not to be able to disguise his sentiments before the
persons despised. These were virtues which gave his friends mighty hopes of
his, one day or other, making a great name.
" But Heaven saw fit to
dispose of him otherwise. He was cut off in the pride
and flower of his youth, just before he had finished his twentieth year. His
death caused a universal sorrow, and was a very sore affliction to his aged parents,
and brought inexpressible grief into the whole family, which was always remark-
able for their tender affection for one another.
"
Joseph was the youngest child. He was of a very cautious, but, withal, soft
and tender disposition, which unfitted him very much for bearing hard usage.
His notions were not so elevated as most of his brothers were, for he could be
content to place his highest ambition in getting money, though he was not
covetous.
"
He served his time to a trade in Kendal, and at last died possessed of a
very competent fortune, which was acquired rather by constant attendance upon
business, than by any bold or uncommon adventures in it." G. F.

MAR. 1914] THE PEDIGREE REGISTER 113
of t$t Courf of
We are enabled to give the following account of Sir Lewis DIBDIN'S work
('.*., pleadings, orders, evidence, sentence) from the inception in the court below
until it arrives in the Court of Arches.
These processes vary in length from a single sheet to (in one instance) six or
seven volumes containing thousands of pages. The third class consists of
bundles, tied up long ago, of miscellaneous parchments and papers the rubbish
of the registry amid which, nevertheless, it may be that important and really
ancient documents lie concealed. I found it impossible in 1903 to do more than
separate the documents into these three classes. In the summer of 1913 the
Rev. Claude JENKINS, the learned and energetic librarian of Lambeth, came to
the rescue. All through the summer he and I spent most of our spare time,
and I fear a great deal more than we could spare, in the muniment room. We
waded steadily through the 2,200 processes, pigeon-holing them in a rough
alphabetical order. My registrar, Mr. MUNRO, gave valuable help at the outset,
but has ever since, I am sorry to say, been laid aside by illness.
Q
n4 THE PEDIGREE REGISTER [MAR. 1914
It is commonly said that the Arches Records perished in the Great Fire.
I venture, however, to doubt whether it was so. I rather think their destruction
took place during the Commonwealth, when CROMWELL'S soldiers were especially
busy in the neighbourhood of St. Paul's. I hope to be able to trace, in many
cases, what happened in the Arches to the suits the previous history of which is
preserved in these Processes. When that has been done this series will form
what in ecclesiastical law is most lacking, a set of precedents, about 2,000 in
number, decided in the principal ecclesiastical court in England, and covering a
period of 200 years (1660-1856).
I want to lay stress on the human rather than on the technical interest of
these 2,000 tales of real life, told often with a particularity which not even the
modern newspaper could When you consider that they relate
safely achieve.
to people of every class there the fashionable divorce case at the top and the
is
defamation of one village virago by another at the bottom and that they are
contemporary accounts of the sayings and doings of the parties, it is surely
difficult to exaggerate their historical value as pictures of English life and man-
ners in former times. It must be remembered that we are dealing with what
are largely the annals of a criminal court. As we should expect, these processes
show us the seamy side of life in every class. Wesee also the influence of
politics and
of popular prejudice on the action of the Ecclesiastical Courts.
There are many cases in the seventeenth century where a clergyman is
accused of Roman tendencies, which seem to have shown themselves in various
"
ways, such as calumniating the Church of England in relation to Henry VIII.,"
" 111 affection to
present Government." Puritan tendencies were, of course,
jealously watched after the Restoration, and, where possible, joined with more
tangible offences as grounds for prosecution. In 1666, the Vicar of Alderminster
was charged with a great variety of misdeeds, from desecrating church orna-
ments and utensils by turning them to domestic purposes, to hunting, smoking,
frequenting ale-houses, and playing games on Sunday. But the head and front
" he boasted a
of his offending was that friendship with Oliver CROMWELL."
"
In 1680, the Parson of Tewkesbury was articled for preaching against the morals
of Charles II." In the years before the Toleration Act Nonconformity is
constantly the subject of repressive proceedings. Even at the beginning of the
eighteenth century preaching in the open air was deemed objectionable, at any
rate without a licence.
Later on in the same century it was a question whether Chelsea Old Parish
Church should be allowed an organ, and it was in fact refused. At about the
same date the churchwardens at Topsham (Exeter) were cited by the incumbent
for disturbing Divine service by the introduction of a novel and unauthorized
method of singing the Psalms. There was a suit against an incumbent who
neglected his duty and drank too much and threw tobacco pipes out in the church-
yard and generally misbehaved himself, but the limit was reached when he
insisted on keeping a cheese I think this happened in Gloucestershire in the
font and suffering it to remain there all the winter to the great discomfort of
the parishioners sitting near by. Cases of defamation that is false accusation
of an offence cognisable in the Church Court are very frequent, especially from
Wales. The objectionable words are then generally given as they had been
uttered in Welsh, and, of course, look appalling. Defamation seems also to
have been a favourite pursuit in Devonshire and Cornwall.
There are seven or eight processes, all relating to one gigantic quarrel between a
MAR. 1914] THE PEDIGREE REGISTER
certain Rev. Dr. EYRE, who was Chancellor of Bath and Wells some time in the
eighteenth century, and the then Archdeacon of Wells. It was a complicated
and not very interesting dispute, which originated in the Archdeacon's failure
to pay sufficient deference to the Chancellor's jurisdiction, superseding his own,
during an episcopal visitation. The Chancellor was himself under excom-
munication for contempt of his superior, the Court of Arches. So the Chan-
cellor's sentence was revoked, and the Archdeacon was restored to the com-
munion of the faithful, without a stain on his character. But there were endless
subsidiary conflicts. While Dr. EYRE had been sitting in his consistory court in
Wells Cathedral excommunicating the Archdeacon, certain bystanders quite
as if they were Alsatian citizens of Zabern had laughed. They were promptly
excommunicated. A verger dared to remove a document from the cushion of
the Chancellor's desk, over which he was wont to contemplate a stiff-necked and
contumacious world. The verger also was excommunicated. And so it went
on. In the end, however, Dr. EYRE'S excommunications were all revoked by
higher authority, and he was ordered to pay everybody's costs.
In concluding his interesting paper, Sir Lewis said that the exact point at
which he had arrived in re-discovering, as it were, the contents of the Arches
muniment room, was that he had compiled a card index of the 2,200 processes
and also a register in which the cases to which the processes related were ar-
ranged chronologically, with columns in which the names of the parish con-
cerned, the Court appealed from, the result of the appeal to the Arches, and the
further history (if any) of the case might be entered. The filling up of these
columns from the Act books and other official records in the muniment room and
the proper arrangement of the processes in the shelves would mean a great
extension of the work, which he hoped to undertake when the long days of sum-
mer returned.
It may be added that the testamentary records of the Bishop of London's
Peculiar Deanery of the Arches with the Deaneries of Shoreham (Kent) and
Croydon (Surrey), covering respectively 13, 35 and 15 parishes, chapelries, etc.
from 1614 to 1841, are quite distinct from the above. The testamentary
records are in excellent condition and are kept, with a modern Calendar or
Index not to all the persons mentioned in the documents, but to the testators,
intestates and a few others amongst the ancient records of the Probate Registry
at Somerset House. But even these are not thoroughly calendared. Those
calendared comprise;

Middlesex; and in Barnes, Burstow, Charlwood, Cheam, Croydon, East Horsley,

that he has good sense, after a fashion, since he pays him out for
what he has done to me. For instance, he has made me get up more
than 500 times from my bed, winter and summer, to take him a
walk along the house and to sing with him songs which did not much
please me. However by means of singing the little knave would be
appeased sometimes for half an hour, sometimes longer; and then
one must begin again. There! see if my little grandson has not a

but with regard to you I pity you extremely. However joking apart,
if there were
any nurses with you at a reasonable charge it would be

clear and there can be no doubt as to what it is. It reads :

I should think she was the Elizabeth RUMNEY, whose baptism is entered on

Truly, as the author says, there is no royal road to the art of writing a family
"
history or tracing a pedigree, much patient research is requisite and some
natural aptitude for the subject." This little book gives a very good general
idea of the sources of information, but they must be used intelligently, for the
desired proof as to whose son so and so happened to be often calls for two or
three distinct moves, unintelligible to those who don't understand the business.
There are at least sixteen methods of proving parentage in England of persons
born before general registration began in 1837; t ^le skilled genealogist knows
them, the novice doesn't, and no book that we have yet seen ever explained
them. Briefly put, the whole art is to discover the occasions in a man's life or
after his death when his parentage would be recorded. If you know these, and
can find the record, the problem is solved. This small book gives a very fair
idea of where many such records are, and the date-book section is particularly
handy.

co
t 1795*6.
In one of the parish register books of Beaulieu is a fasciculus consisting of
ten leaves of a note book 7^ by 5 inches. The notes therein were evidently
the rough memoranda of the daily work of the parish clerk ; they are here printed
to preserve many details of interest which are certain to be lost in the form
in which they now are. Most of these memoranda relate to baptisms and a
few burials which were entered up at irregular intervals in the official register.
The register shows unmistakable evidence of the irregularity of the entering up.
In the annexed draft all those entries omitted from the register are marked *;
of those which do appear in the register many show variations of date and name
as well as the omission of minor details recorded in the notebook. Which of
these records is the more trustworthy? Would the rough notes be received as
evidence especially when differing from the official register? This is only another
:
instance, if indeed more are required, of the want of care with which so many
registers were kept and of the necessity of exercising a critical judgment before

hopes. I think that you have no doubt likewise respecting the very
warm desires of my wife and our dear sister HARLE that it may please
the Lord to give you many years after this in peace, filled with happi-
ness and prosperity both the one and the other rely on me to assure
:
you of their complete friendship as well as all our nephews and nieces.
I
join herein also those of Sedan persuaded that they have
the same
sentiments as to myself, my
: dear Brother, I have already told you
and I tell you again that it would not be by reiterated desires that
I should wish to prove to you the force of my affection but rather by
presents capable of contributing to your need. My establishment
gives mereason to hope that GOD
will bless my work and put me in
circumstances to accomplish my ardent desires: for I cannot with
hold from you that my greatest vanity would be to distribute amongst
the wants of my family the means with which it shall please the LORD
to intrust me with. I would not do with it as the greater part of
mankind, who wait until they can no longer serve themselves with it
before they dispose it to others. If it be the will of the Merciful
Saviour favourably to hear my request I pray him unceasingly that by
his grace he would maintain in me these pious sentiments knowing

by experience how weak and false we all are, and that both in willing
and in doing all is of GOD. I had destined a little present for your
New Year's gift but the hope that I have of seeing you this spring
has made me suspend the execution of my purpose. hope is My
founded on the request that my wife has made to her brother to
employ you in this part. If you cannot positively make up your
mind to the journey let me know in order that I may be able to put you
in possession of it; but as the
expences would cause you to lose much
tell me if in
making an effort to send you goods they would be likely
to reach you without fearing the reccurence of what has lately hap-
pened to you, inform me of this, and also if you would be able to get
them sold, I should imagine that there would be no doubt of that.
Merchandise high in price, choose what sort would suit you best,
is
for as to money, the little that I could give you would result in next to
nothing.
Tell I pray you to Mr Antoine HARLE that Miss MAUROY his niece
has placed in our hands for him the sum of ^59. 4-. French money
which we cannot send him on account of the loss there would be for
him, however we will attend to what he says to you in reply. My
wife has made enquiry at Paris of the daughter of her Aunt re-
specting her of whom you have asked some intelligence when she
has a reply you will be informed about it, uncle and aunt De My
JONCOURT are in perfect health: They send you many friendly
wishes, make the same on my part to all their children but particularly
to my cousin ARMAND and her daughter: tell them also that my wife
will never forget them, asking of them always, part in their remem-
brances. Adieu very dear brother I cannot give you anything

continuance of your friendship and believe me without reserve

you the same favour in behalf of my nephews and nieces GOSSEZ and
their small family which already amounts to four children, and who
also request me to present to you their remembrances as well as those
of our two sisters. She who is an unmarried girl is going in a short
time to lose this beautiful name, for yesterday I signed the articles
of her marriage with one named MALAFAIS, a young man of about 25
years of age, residing at Peronne where he has been established for
about a year in the mercery line, The mother of this young man
was a daughter of Mr. C. MAUROI who in your time was Master of the
Griffin of this town, or perhaps you will understand better if I tell
you that she was the beautiful daughter (step) of Mr. PANNIER who
married the widow MAUROI of the Griffin: as this genealogy is not
much to you, I will only say that he is a young man of a very agreable
figure and respectable descent, without father or mother living; he
has property to the amount of 8000 Livres and the young woman
has 6000 : You see here are good means in these unhappy times
when each one has lost what he had. as to religion it is that in which
this young woman has been brought up, that is to say, the Roman.
The Bible of which you speak to us in your last is in the hands
of our sister HARLE to whose care it has been committed in order that
it
might not be put under seal after the death of our dear Mother and
thereby be in danger of capture by the authorities; since then they
have demanded it of my sister but unavailingly for she will certainly
not deliver it up, she offers to pay them its value but they will not
take it. Our House has received your three letters under dates of
25 Sept. 19 Oct. and 6 Nov. 1721. to which we have not replied
because there was nothing in them that required answer: we have
however to inform you that we have received from Messrs. LIMOND
and Co. of London ^34. sterling which you have paid them which
have produced .1004, 6-, Tournois, which we have carried to your
account. Notwithstanding the Dutch prohibitions against the
importation of French goods we foresee that our cloths will still be

former contrived to persecute the latter in quite practical style.

This book gives an excellent insight into the scope and
little
authority of the old Manor Courts, and will help the genealogist to a
knowledge of the kind of information to be derived from ancient
Court Rolls. As the jurymen and other inhabitants of the leet were
compelled from the age of twelve to attend the half-yearly Courts
Leet and listen to the Steward's charge or exhortation as to their
duties and functions, it will be seen how good an opportunity was
given to the common people to understand the nature and obligations
of local government. At the Court Baron the tenants were bound to
appear every three week's end, if required by the lord, unless the lord,
"
for the tenants' ease (which he esteemeth more than his own profit)
suffereth the same to be kept but seldome." The absentees would be
"
duly presented and amerced, unless they were essoigned," or
excused, by reason of lawful impediment.
Genealogists' interests are served by inquiries as to what tenants
were dead since the last Court, what land they held and by what
service, and who their heirs were ; but the mere record of residence is
often valuable evidence for family history.
The present writer found that, as late as 1787, two silver candle-
sticks were paid to the King as a heriot on the death of a relation of
his, a tenant of King's manor in East Hendred, Berks.

DEC. 1914] [VoL. Ill, No. 31
(Record.
Second Report of the (1910) Commission on Public Records of England and Wales.
Three parts, folio, 9$d., is. id. and 2s. lod. Eyre & Spottiswoode.
One definite conclusion emerges from the welter of facts and opinions con-
tained in these Blue Books, and that is that there are great masses of
public
records still held up from public use. There is still the same doleing out with
one hand and keeping back with the other which characterizes the small person
in office: the same unwillingness to understand, when not passively hostile,
what the record-searcher wants. What he wants is simple enough. He wants
Class Lists or Inventories of all records. He wants ready and easy production
of bundles, volumes and rolls. He wants Indexes and more Indexes, and Calen-
dars of the contents of the said bundles, volumes and rolls, but he will often make
indexes for himself if only he is allowed access, and can be kept quiet for
quite
a long time with such simple humouring.
Lastly, these Class Lists or Inventories should not be hidden away, but boldly
put on open shelves and the public instructed to ask for them as the veritable
key, abstract, and brief chronicle, of what may or may not be seen.
These essential preliminaries established, the next thing is to determine
under what conditions the public should have access to its own property, so that
the best use can be made of it. The Public Record Office, in Chancery Lane,
after a vast expenditure of public
money, has, in the course of the last hundred
years or so, succeeded in bringing into some sort of order and under one roof
the scattered records of numerous public offices, has compiled Calendars to
certain selected classes of documents, and has made class lists of a kind to all
the documents to be found there. It has established a system for the ready
cc
i
94 THE PEDIGREE REGISTER [DEC. 1914
produ&ion of any bundle, volume, etc., enumerated in these lists, and, on the
whole, it works. Nothing could be better than for the same system to be
extended to the contents of every other office in the kingdom where public
records are kept.
But there is one great difficulty, speaking generally, in reference to these
" outside " offices: accommodation for searchers is limited or
non-existent, and
the expense is not provided for. It would be a small matter for them to prepare
Class Lists or Inventories of their records, but it is quite another thing for them
to provide the necessary attendance and accommodation for searchers. It
seems to us that there is only one way out of this difficulty. In cases where no
ready access can be given, public records, directly they reach a certain age, should
automatically be transferred to the custody of the Master of the Rolls and
deposited in the Public Record Office.
expense, for this Commission must be costing a pretty penny, that they are
"
kept locked up in a room."
They consider that records should be open freely to public inspection when
they reach a certain age, say seventy years old, with occasional exceptions, and a
time fixed when a departmental record transmitted to the P.R.O. becomes a
public record. That the P.R.O. Official Guide should be considerably expanded
in its information about Departmental Records. That a collection of regulations
as to access in Departmental repositories be issued by the P.R.O., and that a
return be printed showing where the archives of all past Royal Commissions have
been deposited. Finally, as to the keeping of records, the Commissioners are
satisfied that calf is thevery worst material for binding; and if it is still in use it
should be discontinued. They find at the Home Office that unbound papers
are kept in bundles between boards at the Colonial Office, in bundles with mill-
;
boards and a strap. Many departments have plain brown paper parcels, tied
up with string or tape, and one office of great antiquity keeps them in bundles
tied up with string, with no protection from dust or string. The absence of
Inventories (Class Lists), they say, often causes records to be mislaid. Con-
secutive numbers are absolutely necessary to enable records to be checked.
How records should be listed is described in the Report (page 57).
As to destruction of documents, the Deputy Keeper intends to print a volume
of the Schedules and Rules.
The Commissioners say that historical students should be represented on the
Committee of Destruction and that schedules should be available for inspection
in the British Museum and the P.R.O., before documents are destroyed.
Last of all, we are told that the cost of the P.R.O., with a staff of 108, is
22,000 per annum ; of other scattered record establishments (including local
Probate Registries), with a total staff of 901, \ 19,885 per annum is the cost.
A chapter might be written on the quaint ideas of some of the present record-
keepers. One of the most amusing is the contention that the Principal Probate
is not a
Registry public record office or, at any rate, that the Literary Research
Department there is not. The Probate Registry is the successor of the church
196 THE PEDIGREE REGISTER [DEC. 1914
porch, where wills used to be read publicly in order to safeguard public right.
Of all records, wills are the most public; if it were not so the inheritance of none
would be safe. We go further, and say that free public access to public records
of any age is a public right under the Constitution, and that if it is withheld
that because nobody with enough public spirit has come forward to contest
is
"
it in the Courts. After all, what are records but scraps of paper," binding
individuals (or bodies corporate) for the public good ? If record-keepers have
the power to deny access what becomes of public safety?

206 THE PEDIGREE REGISTER [DEC. 1914
Coofie.
COOKE is a common surname in North Bucks, and during the
eighteenth century there were at least two families of that name living
in the parish of Bletchley. The scanty commonplace details of the
accompanying pedigree have been collected from some epitaphs in
the churchyard and the register. The latter record is so well kept
that it is quite easy to follow the course of a family through it, as the
names of both parents, residence and occupation are recorded in
most of the entries. The name is spelled both with and without
"
the final e," and the occasional form, COOCKE, gives a hint of the
vernacular pronunciation.
The family here treated of was, to use county historian language,
seated at Water Eaton for several generations, and though of local
repute was without illustration. The description used mostly in
" " " "
the register is farmer ; yeoman being used for the first genera-
tion or two; the title "Mr" was first applied in 1751 to Thomas
COOKE (after his daughter, Sarah, had married, none too soon, the
Curate's son), and the family attained its social apogee in the person
"
of Thomas Aldwin COOKE, who is described as gent." in the baptis-
mal entries of nearly all his brats, and, though dying at the early age of
64, he lived nearly long enough to be a great-grandfather, and to see
his two grandsons described as labourers in the baptismal entries of
their respective children. Ecclesiastical and civic apotheosis was
attained in the offices of churchwarden and constable, held by more
than one member of the family.
The large families of the successive heads is noticeable, also the
heavy infant mortality. Out of 5 1 births no less than 1 5 died under
12 months, an infant mortality of 30 per cent, and several of the
survivors died before reaching full age, others in early adult life;
probably less than half reached middle life.
The small number of names used is also remarkable. For 60
people appearing in this pedigree, only 17 names are used; viz.,
John 8 times, Sarah 7, Thomas 6, Jane 6, Anne 5, William 5, Mary 5,
etc. Only one double name is used, Thomas Aldwin, baptized in
1738, when it was very rare to depart from the English custom and
"
adopt the outlandish, foreign and popish practice" of giving a
combination of names in baptism.
This record is that of a family of no importance nor distinction ;
even the notoriety of crime does not seem to have been achieved by
any of its members. Mere ordinary, commonplace, village people
engaged in agriculture ; neither paupers, on the one hand, nor gentry
on the other ; conforming to the Church of England, and continued
residence for generations in one place, the family was a sample of

212 THE PEDIGREE REGISTER [DEC. 1914
and
This fragmentary pedigree has been compiled from the parish
registers of Bletchley and Shenley in Bucks, and Castle Camps in
Cambridgeshire and the Cole MSS.
The DEWBERRYS were evidently a family of small farmers and
shopkeepers; various members are described in Bletchley register as
innkeeper or bucher (sic). The name disappears from the register
before the seventeenth century is half over. This family owes such
posthumous credit as may fall to its share to the marriage of Mary to
John JAUNCEY, who became the ancestors of a family of clergymen of
repute.
It is a family tradition that John JAUNCEY was an ex-officer of
cavalry and was disinherited by his father, possibly for political
reasons ; but no evidence is given in support of this tradition. The
compiler knows nothing of his ancestry, not having pursued any
search or inquiry beyond the sources above mentioned.
COLE states (Add. MS. 5821) that Mr. John JAUNCEY was Bailiff
of the Manor to the Duke of Buckingham, and to Dr. Thomas WILLIS,
who purchased the Manors of Whaddon, Bletchley, etc. Mr. W.
DEWSBURY (sic) kept the Post House at Fenny Stratford. In 1650,
Mr. JAUNCEY kept the "Black Bull" Inn, and, in 1681, pulled down the
" "
George," because it hindered the custom of his house, the Red
Lyon."
COLE also records epitaphs at Bletchley which mention seven mem-
bers of this family. No trace of these epitaphs remains.
In FOSTER'S Alumni the Rev. John JAUNCEY is described as the son of
John JAUNCEY of Fenny Stratford, gent., and as matriculating at
Lincoln Coll. 31 May, 1677, aged 17; he graduated B.A. from S.
Mary Hall in 1681, and M.A. from Clare Hall, Cambridge, in 1683.
He became reftor of Shenley in 1684, and married a daughter of his
predecessor, the Rev. Geo. CRESSY. The register contains several
entries of this family, including the burial of Rev. G. CRESSEY,
19 Mar. 1683/4. His widow survived until 1707 and was buried
28 November.
"
It would be
interesting to know the reason of the name FYGE "
coming into the family. It is worth noting that a Margaret FYGE
was buried at Shenley in 1674. She mav have been related to the
CRESSEYS.
In Add. MS. 5805, p. 94, COLE records his impressions of the Rev.
"
Fyge JAUNCEY: I think I remember this person several times at Mr.
CARTWRIGHT'S at Bletchley, while I was reftor there. If he is the
same person, he was first admitted at Jesus Coll. Cantab., and after a
short stay there removed himself to Oxford, married early a young
lady from Lichfield, and was a tutor in a private family in Essex,

In this volume the editor gives abstracts of 604 more wills, making a total to

of the mass of genealogical and family details hidden away in one class of

The editor prints only 150 copies, and modestly asks that this small number be

254 THE PEDIGREE REGISTER [MAR. 1915
Years ago, in 1881, an American book was written, The Bliss Genealogy, in
which the writer, on the resemblance of this surname to that of BLOIS, founded
a chapter telling of BLISS progenitors in England: kings, earls, knights, lords
and gentlemen; of
"... the heroic and the free,
The beautiful, the brave, the lords of earth and sea."
Now Mr HOPPIN writes another, and a much better one, to prove that the
early BLISSES in England were of no higher social rank than cottagers; that,
" no BLISSE in
indeed, England ever was knighted ever was chosen to be a
. . .
member of the House of Commons ... of the House of Lords was a direft
. . .
the creative hand of God, and not from the touch of a monarch."
Well, one can have it both ways, it seems. Perhaps the chief value of many
American genealogies lies in the perception they give us of the mental attitude
of that democracy. If you are descended (in the male line) from people of high
social rank, you are to be congratulated that no such outward label as a title is
necessary to the present generation ; if from more humble folk, you are to be
"
glad they were not in the ranks of R. W. EMERSON'S twenty thousand thieves
who landed at Hastings, greedy and ferocious dragoons, sons of greedy and
ferocious pirates." In either case the present representatives are very fine fellows
and entirely free from major or minor vices.
The book presents an interesting picture of mediaeval conditions, it is packed
with valuable family records, is readable in the highest degree, but what is one
to think of the naivete of such a statement as this (p. 50), or of the public for
whom it is intended? " The author has been asked to omit explanations of records
revealing the unfortunate circumstances of some of the mediaeval BLISSES; but
he feels that such ... a suggestion is hardly commendable in view of the faft
when illegitimacy was notoriously widespread, when the illegiti-
that in an age
'
mate descendants of crowned and coronetted heads were too numerous to be
mentioned,' no record of such a stain upon any Bliss can be found in four hundred
years of English Bliss history. What titular honor exceeds that? What worldly
wealth can outweigh it? ' When God sifted four kingdoms wherewith to find
the seed to plant a new republic,' He chose of titled and Midasian personages
"
practically none (The italics are not ours.) The author, it is to be presumed,
!
But, apart from this peculiarity, we congratulate the author on the production
of a useful and eminently readable record. He claims for it (a little vehemently)
" "
that it is the last word on early BLISS genealogy in England; he having, as
he says, searched practically all early English records for the purpose of its
compilation. We cannot quite follow him here, any more than we are inclined to
allow his claim on the evidence adduced for the pre-eminent moral superiority
of the BLISSES in the matter of conjugal relationship. (He does find, by the way,
that one of them (p. 160) took excessive gain inmeat and malt, and even attacked
his neighbour with a poniard.) He cannot, for example, have exhausted the
unindexed Plea Rolls, the Feet of Fines, the unindexed Manorial Court Rolls,
or the masses of unindexed records of the Chancery. From any of these sources,
as well as from the accumulations of records and papers in local official and private
hands, there may issue to the surface, at any moment, documents capable of
profoundly modifying his conclusions and adding to his admittedly unequalled
knowledge of the family history. There is a good index.
Chestnuts, Colin Deep Lane, The Hyde, N.W., on Tuesday the 3rd November.
He was the sixth son of Henry Saxon SNELL, F.R.I. B.A. (ob. 1904), a descen-
dant of Richard SNELL of Sonning, Berks, (1726-1817); was educated privately
at Maidenhead, whence he proceeded to University College, London, and
thereafter to Durham University, where he took his M.A. in 1883. He was also
a Member of the Middle Temple and a Fellow and one of the Founders of the
Depositions before 1714. He had also, in an advanced stage, for The British
Record Society, a continuation of the excellent Calendar of Wills in the Pre-
rogative Court of Canterbury, covering the years 1718 to 1725, which will, it is
hoped, form one of their future volumes.
" "
SNELL had no illusions as to the importance of his work; his sense of
humour always denied that. But he laboured unremittingly and with wonderful
speed, early and late, conscientiously, almost, one might say, meticulously, for
the nature of his work demanded even that quality, and he rejoiced in the steady
growth of his material, the value of which only those who come into this in-
heritance will appreciate.
In the formation of The Society of Genealogists of London he took an active
part and scarcely missed a Committee Meeting during the first four years of its
existence. Afting as Honorary Secretary of the Committee on the Consolidated
Index, he had the satisfaction of seeing the index-slips reach a total of something
like a million in number under his supervision and practical help.

" Here lieth the Body of (Edward ORPWOOD, Esq. who departed
,|
1776.
Aged 58.
" He walked in the old paths because he thought them best."
His will, a copy of which may be seen in the P.C.C., Somerset House, was
proved 3 Dec. 1776, wherein he leaves to his son, John Brazier ORPWOOD, after
the death of his wife, one half of rents of his leasehold property in Bell Alley,
Mulberry Court the other half to his younger grandchildren.
;
To the two eldest of these he leaves, in addition, the lease of his house in
Hewitt Court, in the Strand, for the payment of their education and board.
To his wife Elizabeth he gives 5,000, with all his jewels and goods, and to his
son, John Brazier ORPWOOD, 1,000. The rest of his estate he leaves to his son
in trust for his younger grandchildren, share and share alike.
He appoints his friend, Mr Richard WRAY, of the Strand, and Mr Charles
WANSLEY, together with his wife, executors.
288 THE PEDIGREE REGISTER [JUNE 1915
Edward ORPWOOD'S second wife survived her husband a year, and died in 1777.
She had a brother, named John HOLDITCH, who lived at Gate St., Lincoln's Inn,
and a sister, Deborah, who married Challis HAYES of which marriage there were
;
three children, named, respectively, Samuel, Henry Brown, and Mary HAYES.
Samuel, who was born in Portugal, became a surgeon, and lived in Great Marl-
borough St., in the County of Middlesex. He was subsequently created a
Baronet, and appointed English Ambassador to Portugal. He, Sir Samuel HAYES,
conjointly with a certain Sir Jacob WOLFFE, of Cam's Hall, in the County of
Southampton, purchased of Edward ORPWOOD and John HOLDITCH the remain-
der of the lease of the City Estates in Coleman St. The above has interest inas-
much as he, Sir Samuel HAYES, was godfather to Richard Wray ORPWOOD, the
writer's grandfather.
It is clear from the veiled reference to the old
" in
Church, the old paths,
because he thought them best," on his tombstone, that Edward ORPWOOD
was a Catholic. A confirmatory sign may be found in the wording " departed
this life." Catholics preserved that form when the irreligion of the eighteenth
"
century led to a more common use of the simple died," by many not of the fold.
Again, most of the Catholic stones in Bath Abbey are in the North Aisle.
A clause in his will which runs " I give unto my son .... the watch and sword
:
given by the Queen of Spain to the Duke of Ormond .." would suggest that
.
HAM, STEERFORTH, MICAWBER, Mr. DICK, Mr. PEGGOTTY and Uriah HEAP;
PEGGOTTY, Little Em'ly, Agnes WHITFIELD, Betsy TROTWOOD, Rosa DARTLE,
Mrs. MICAWBER, marching in happy company, but, of course, we missed Dora.
However, the point is this. If you are good at figure-drawing why not attempt
a similar pageant of your own family
" "
characters your immediate forbears
and near kin, and their intimates yes, their own intimate friends? What would
we not give to portray ours as they pass before our mind's eye. We associate them
with laburnums and chestnuts in bloom and the Spring verdure along the
Kensington road. David's we associate with the Dover road, where the milestones
are, high Summer, a certain amount of dust, and Janet's celebrated donkeys.
J.L.E.H. (Hoxton). Your old lady, born in 1845, as she thinks, in Glasgow, is
not to be found in Glasgow Parish Registers, and General Registration did not
begin in Scotland till 1854. If y u can discover just where she lived at the time any
Census was taken, the schedule may possibly give her place of birth.
H.T.S. (Exeter). We note that you are interested in BOUCHER (sometimes
spelt BUTCHER) of Somerset, particularly of Yeovil, c. 1550 and before, and the
marriage of John, whose son John was baptized there 17 Nov. 1754.
" "
Lothrop WITHINGTON, we are afraid, went down with the Lusitania on Fri-
day, the 7th May.He was well-known as a genealogist, searching in England the last
twenty years for material concerning American emigration of 1600-1650, and had
accumulated a vast collection, in succession to the labours of Henry Fitz Gilbert
WATERS. A postcard was received from him almost at the same time as the news
of the disaster: " Will come by the Lusitania,' subject to Kaiser Wilhelm's con-
'
sent." Thus another good man ends sustaining a note of mingled humour and
pathos.

SCOTT : CLARKSON
John SCOTT, of Rockhills, is stated to have been born at Shrewsbury,
co. Salop, and to have been descended from the ancient family of
SCOTT of Scott's Hall, Kent. A branch of this family settled in Shrop-
shire in the sixteenth century, and from it the families of SCOTT of
Betton Strange and SCOTT-WARING derive.
John SCOTT paid several visits to Paris, apparently on legal business,
and he and his daughter Mary had the honour of being entertained by
Louis XVIII, Miss SCOTT being taken to dinner by the Papal Legate.
She was a lady of considerable beauty, and was the subject of some
verses addressed to her by Lord BYRON. Her husband, John OTTER*
of Ranby Hall, was a hunting parson of an old-fashioned type; as
much, if not more, at home in the saddle as in the pulpit. Ruth
LOVELACE (Mrs John SCOTT) was the daughter of an American gentle-
man, who, it is said, had the misfortune to be eaten by a bear. She may
have belonged to the same family as Governor Francis LOVELACE, of
New York.
The DYER family are the holders of an ancient baronetcy, dating
from 1678. They belonged, originally, to Wiltshire.
John CLARKSON, who, by the way, was offered and refused a knight-
hood, used the same armorial bearings as the CLARKSONS of Kenton,
co. Notts, a family largely connected with Yorkshire.! By his previous
marriage to Miss FOSSE he had issue Lieut.-Colonel John Horatio "
CLARKSON, Major George CLARKSON, Anne, Charles CLARKSON, lost
in the Spanish War," Fanny, Henry CLARKSON, and Charlotte. The
eldest daughter, Anne, married the Rev. George HAGAR, heir male and
representative of the HAGARS of Bourn, co. Cambridge,
and ancestor
of Sir Kenneth Hagar KEMP, Baronet, of Gissing, Norfolk.
The estate of Halbeath, co. Fife, to which Mrs HUGGINS and Mrs
MACK were co-heirs, was rich in coal, a facl: which excited the envy of
one of the trustees to such an extent that he left for foreign climes
with much of the proceeds.

show. Write to 5 Bloomsbury Square for the new Annual Report, and for copies
of the old ones, to get a general grasp of the scheme and to see how it is being
carried out. The index-slips number over a million, that is, they give authority
of some sort for over a million vital facts concerning people, chiefly of English
blood, in all classes of society, arranged simply under the names of the people
concerned. It would be ridiculous to make any general search for any family

but became an innkeeper." Here follow a few additional fads, showing that he
owned the " Red Lyon " at Bensington and " The Angel " in Oxford, and was

The accompanying pedigree of the DEANS family illustrates a next-
of-kin case recently decided in the Scottish Courts, and should be
of interest to readers of THE PEDIGREE REGISTER as emphasising two
points the importance of keeping family records ; the litigation that
:
was the lawful son of James DEANS (son of Adjutant William DEANS),
born in Glasgow in 1797, who afterwards became a Lieutenant in the
92nd Regiment of Foot, and died in the West Indies in 1825.
The substance of the pursuers' case as summarised by the Lord
Ordinary was this That when Lieutenant James DEANS was a young
:
some time and then went to Jamaica, where he died of yellow fever at
Up Park Camp, on the 2 August 1825. Up to this time the marriage
had not been disclosed to Adjutant DEANS, but it was said that some
time after Lieutenant DEANS'S death Hannah ANDREWS and her sister
Margaret called upon the Adjutant and divulged the secret that he ;
received them with much kindness and thereafter paid for the child's
education, and when he met him in the street gave him small sums of
money. Then
the pursuers produced the Baptismal Register of St
Andrew's, Glasgow, which contained the following entry: "James
Adam, son of James and Hannah DEENS, Langholm, 92nd Regiment,
13 September 1829," four years after the death of the alleged father
and when the child was nine years old.
It was alleged that this entry had reference to the baptism of the
pursuers' father and that the form in which it was made showed that
he was regarded by the officiating clergyman as legitimate that ;
mother to Langholm, where he lived for two years and then went to
Linlithgow where he carried on business as a shoemaker that he ;
married and had six children, five of whom (the pursuers) were then
alive that he always regarded himself as the legitimate son of
;
Lieutenant DEANS.
This case was largely founded on family tradition, and the main
source of that tradition was Adam DEANS and his two Aunts Margaret
and Jane ANDREWS, Hannah's sisters, all of whom were dead.
The judge expressed the opinion that Adam DEANS honestly be-
lieved himself to be the legitimate son of the Lieutenant, but it is a
curious fact that in two of his family Bibles produced no reference
was made to his parentage, and in his death certificate he is described
as son of David DEANS, mother unknown information apparently

"
Sir Kenneth MACKENZIE, ist Bart., of Coul, is said to have been a man of
parts," and in great
favour with King Charles II. Sir Kenneth was Sheriff
Principal of Ross ;
he married before 1669, as his second wife, a daughter of
The Revd Thomas MACKENZIE of Inverleal.
Traditions relating to Sir John MUNRO, 4th Bart., of Fowlis, The Revd Gilbert
ROBERTSON, and members of the FORBES family, will be found in past numbers
of THE PEDIGREE REGISTER.
Margaret RAINY, Mrs Charles Stewart PARKER, was from her youth dis-
"
tinguished for her piety, and her father used to say that, really Margaret
ought to be in the pulpit." By the great Dr CHALMERS, of the Scotch Free
Church, who was intimately acquainted with her, she was held in the highest
esteem, and in his speech at the Free Church General Assembly, Inverness, in
"
August, 1845, he said of her, that she was one of the best and truest Christian
friends he ever had on earth."
Anne PARKER, sister to Mrs DARROCH of Gourock, married Edward, Viscount
CARDWELL of Ellerbeck, Secretary of State for War.
Margaret TINNE, wife of John A. TINNE, Esq., like her cousin, Mrs PARKER,
ought to have been in the pulpit, for it is said she used before marriage to write
the sermons for the vicar of the place in which she resided, to preach on Sundays.
Dr Harry ROBERTSON, her grandfather, published a book of Discourses in
1779, also the Scotch Minister's Assistant, 1802. In November, 1802, he was
made a Doctor of Divinity by Marischal College, Aberdeen. Dr Harry ROBERT-

she was an interesting letter writer, and one of her letters was judged worthy of
appearing in the late Charles Fraser MACKINTOSH'S Letters of
Two Centuries.

The "
notes
"
relative to the Family of FURBER of West
following
Chelborough, Dorset, were copied by me some years ago from a
memorandum book then in the possession of Mr. Robert WILLIS of
Orford Road, Walthamstow, who descended from a family of WILLIS
of Stratton, Dorset, with whom the FURBERS were connected by
marriage.
The " notes " was
writer of the evidently Margaret the wife of
John FURBER, and this couple are no doubt identical with
John FURBER & Margaret GILLINGHAM married at East Chel-
st
borough, 3 I January, 1 760.
The connection of WILLIS and FURBER is through the marriage at
Stratton, on 25th October 1783, of Charles WILLIS and Elizabeth
FURBER. This Charles WILLIS is no doubt the brother-in-law to
whom FURBER went to " scool "
James 2nd March 1788. John
WILLIS, a celebrated writing-master, is referred to by Hutchins,
in. 552. His portrait was painted by STOKES and engraved by E.
FISHER.
The entries are copied exactly as they appear in the original ;
some
of them, it will be observed,
being in duplicate.

eight, before me.
Sir Lionel GARDEN, K.C.M.G. The death of Sir Lionel GARDEN, at the
comparatively early age of 64, comes upon me as a heavy personal misfortune.
His unvarying kindness, interest in this publication, and in the work it is attempt-
352 THE PEDIGREE REGISTER [DEC. 1915
ing to do, were uplifting and encouraging, and I mourn his loss. To me he
seemed, throughout the sixteen years I knew him, to embody the characteristics
of an English gentleman. In response to a charmingly-worded note I called
upon him a fortnight before his death, when he, though ill and weak, was still
keen as ever on genealogical inquiry, and thanked goodness his interest was
unabated. He had formed a good collection of evidence concerning i6th and
1
7th century GARDENS and CAWARDENS, one of whom, a particularly interesting
personage, was Sir Thomas CAWARDEN, Master of the Revels, and one of Henry
Vlllth's favourite ministers, who gathered the nucleus of the well-known Loseley
MSS., and thus might be said to have been almost associated with SHAKESPEARE.
Sir Lionel Edward Gresley GARDEN, who was born in 1851, was of the family
of GARDEN of Barnane, co. Tipperary. He had been British Minister to Brazil
since last year, and was formerly Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo-
one to expect the lecture, while learned and instructive, was enlivened by
;
humour and a lightness of touch, all of which evoked high praise from competent
authorities present, amongst them Sir Henry HOWORTH and the Bluemantle
Pursuivant of Arms. Proper regulation of Armorial bearings, registration, the
interest attached to honourable augmentations, and the use of the badge, where
the crest is unsuitable, were discussed. It is hoped that the meetings will be
continued. Another plan now being carried out is the formation of a Committee
of Amateur Genealogists to advise beginners how to set to work. Most genealo-
gists are, of course, amateur, while many have acquired considerable collections.
The idea is to throw open these stores of knowledge and to put the novice on the
right track if they can.
Accessions to the Library : Mr SNELL'S valuable collection of MSS. has now
been received and catalogued. The catalogue will be printed in the next issue
of THE PEDIGREE REGISTER, and in future numbers of this publication it is
proposed to enumerate the more important accessions of printed books, manu-
scripts and index-slips as they are acquired by the Society.

died about five years since. Stephen SAMPSON, who lived in good
repute, was also dead. SAMPSON had been a mate in one of His
Majesty's ships, and afterwards was Master of the same, an able
seaman, a very sober and discreet person, not addicted to drunkenness,
profaneness, or any kind of debauchery ; one who made a conscience
of an oath and would not forswear himself.
Although SAMPSON had received a wound "or shot in his back before
he came on board the " Samuel and Anne in June 1671, when the
cask of pretended plate and pieces of eight was lost, he was so well
recovered that he walked about on deck.
BODDING has known Mary BROWNING by sight since the beginning
of this suit, but knows not the parties in this suit ; nor did he know
Stephen SAMPSON before his coming home with him in the said ship
from Cadiz in the year 1671 ; was never in the said SAMPSON'S com-
pany within six months after their arrival in the river of Thames.
When the " Barquo Longo " came to the side of the " Samuel and
Anne " with the barrel it was fastened to the ship by a rope.
"
Walter ELDEN came on board the " Samuel and Anne when she
was lying in the Bay of Cadiz in June or July 1671. He had been
master of a ketch, which had been taken from him by a Sallee man-of-
war, had been rescued by a French man-of-war, and brought to Cadiz.
Two days after the loss of the barrel, Mr. Jacob LINN, a merchant or
factor, came on board and had discourse about it. ELDEN came on
board almost naked and Captain BROWNING gave him a coat ; neither
he nor SAMPSON paid anything for their passage home or diet. When
the barrel was slung to come aboard, the men in the boat with their
boat-hook snatched the tackle from the mate unawares.

Highway, and have lived there about a year and a half. He pays to
the church and poor. (Signs his deposition.)
Lucy, wife of George CARKETT of Stepney, mariner, is 63 years of
age, and has been married to CARKETT for 1 7 years. Her husband went
on a voyage in the " Samuel and Anne," about nine years since, from
the port of London to Cadiz in Spain, when the cask of plate and the
pieces of eight were lost. She has lived in Ropemaker's Field in
Limehouse, in the same house these forty years. Her husband
received 6 for the voyage, at the rate of thirty shillings a month,
and was paid at Exeter House in the Strand she went with him to
;
get it. The voyage lasted four months. She never saw her husband
drunk.
Walter ELDEN, mariner, has lived in St. Paul's, Shadwell, these
twenty years ;
is of the
age of 50 or more. Captain BROWNING, on
his return from Sallee, took Thomas PERCIVAL on board as cook. After
he was sworn to be a witness about the loss of the cask or barrel of
money, Captain BAWD came and said he was well acquainted with the
owner of the ship " Galesia Merchant " of which deponent was the
master, and desired him not to do any hurt to the interests of Anne
BROWNING, for whom he solicited.
Joan FREEMAN of Wapping, nursekeeper, aged 24, a witness, says
that she was born in Bristol. When she was nurse to one of Mary
BROWNING'S children Mathew CHALLENOR, an old servant of Mrs.
BROWNING'S, came to her house in Ratcliif and said he had been with
the ship's cook, who was cook when the plate was lost, at an alehouse
in Lower Shadwell, and the cook called for beer and brandy and asked
CHALLENOR if he would have a bowl of punch. Captain BAWD came
in, and, sitting down, began to talk about the plate that was lost, and
"
asked him if it were not so and so but CHALLENOR said,
; No, it
was not so," and told BAWD he perceived he had a mind to make him
fuddled.
Deponent now lives at one Mr. EBBS at Wapping, and nurses his
child.
Walter ELDEN says he was born Kingston-upon-Hull and has
at
known Mary BRUNING thirty years was last in company with Thomas
;
aged 35, has lived there twenty years or more, has known Thomas
PERCIVALL seven or eight years as a person of honest life and conversa-
tion, and often employed by several merchants and the most substan-

pressed dislike to the marriage and said there was a promise betwixt
her and another person and did cry and take on very much. Where-
upon Dr. BURNETT, the minister, asked her what promise she had
made, to which she made no audible reply, and Dr. BURNETT then
said that that promise was of no value or effect. After which this
deponent and her relations speaking to her did persuade her to marry
Mr. JONES, and so she was married by the minister.
Afterwards Sabina told this deponent that when they were going
up together to the Communion table JONES told her he would stab
himself if she did not marry him. No licence was taken out until
the afternoon after they were married, at which time Mrs. COSHAM
went and procured a licence. JONES told her that he might have
married the daughter of Mr. Edmund LEE, but he had had a kindness
for Sabina for two or three years and more. She knew Edmund and
John LEE by going to the house of Mr. John SMITH, deceased, and
became acquainted with Mr. JONES, having been his neighbour in
Lambeth. Before John LEE and Robert JONES took upon them to
meddle in the estate of John SMITH they were accounted honest men.
Hath heard John SMITH, deceased, and Edward SMITH his father, say
they had no kindness for Edmund LEE, but heard them several times
commend Robert JONES. Sabina borrowed most of the clothes in
which she was married and witness helped to dress her therein as a
bride. John SMITH, the testator, and Robert JONES could both of
them speak- the Danish language. Believes Captain Peter RICH
assists Mrs. HALLAM in this cause because if the heir, John SMITH,
who is a minor, shall not have the deceased's estate it will come to the
HALLAMS. Sabina showed great love and kindness to FITCH, who
presented her with a golden tooth-pick during the time he was a
suitor to her. FITCH, in a jocose way, declared they were contracted
together and Sabina did not deny it ; they called each other husband
and wife in a jesting way some days before the marriage. Sabina went
over to Mrs. BLACKBURNE'S house, and Mrs. BLACKBURNE, Mrs. HUNT
and Mrs. COSHAM, told her what a plentiful estate Mr. JONES had
and how bravely she might live, and Sabina was troubled when she
went to bed the night before she was married. Mr. FITCH said Sabina
had given him her promise to marry him and he would not resign his
right. JONES desired Mrs. Jane COSHAM to carry her into the country
that it might not be known where she was, to prevent Mr. FITCH'S
coming to her, and offered Mrs. COSHAM a hundred guineas, or some
other considerable sum. When JONES threatened to stab himself
. Sabina said that to save his life she would ruin her own. Mrs. HUNT,
"
her mother, as they were going to Lincoln's Inn, said to her, Child,
it
might be deferred a little longer," or to that effect ; and Mr. JONES
did reprove Mrs. HUNT and bid her hold her peace. John SMITH,

deceased, declared that he had left his estate to the heir John SMITH,
son of Edward, and that he must be bred a scholar, and all things
were to be kept until the said heir came into England. JONES and
his wife said that nobody sought to wrong the minor, but if the law
that she must have Mr. FITCH and that she was mightily troubled
and knew not what to do. The fortune-teller thereupon advised her
to have the Black man and she would live happily and wallow in gold,
but if she had the other she would want bread. Believes that by the
Black man was meant Mr. JONES.

PHILADELPHIA AS A CHRISTIAN NAME (III. 289, 319, 350). In the year 1659
died Mr. Benjamin SCARLETT of Eastbourne in Sussex, and of Thames Street,
London ;
a lawyer and Commissioner in Chancery, and a man of considerable
wealth and property in land in Sussex.
He disinherited his eldest son, Francis, who was then abroad and who on his
return to England, finding the Sussex property in the hands of his brothers,
Now, some time in the seventies I (Mrs. SCARLETT, wife of Colonel, then
Cap-
tainLeopold J. Y. C. SCARLETT, Scots Guards, of Parkhurst, Surrey) was staying
on a visit with friends in Buckinghamshire during the shooting season. My
hostess was writing some notes, and said to me,
" Now I am
writing to ask a
newly-arrived neighbour to come and shoot, and am sure you do not know anyone
of the name of his whom I am writing her name is Philadelphia" I
sister to

had that name constantly in their line at that period. Miss exclaimed, L
" That is
why I have it ; my mother is descended from that family of WILSON of
Sussex !
"
Another connection of our family with the WILSONS of that time is recorded in
the Sussex Archaeological Collections.
This same Captain Francis SCARLETT of course knew the WILSONS well. Since
he had left England the eldest son and heir had
disappeared whilst in London, and
it was supposed had been " crimped " or " spirited away," as it was called then,
i.e. knocked down or
drugged in London, and carried on a vessel to be sold as a
slave.
This really was the case, and on going over an estate in Jamaica, Captain
Francis SCARLETT saw young WILSON as a white overseer on the place, but finding
he was a slave, and knowing the difficulty of getting him away if his owner found
outwho he was, and his prospects in England, SCARLETT kidnapped him and got
him off home in a ship hence the present direct descent from him of Sir Spencer

genealogy. In The Dynamics of Evolution Mr. REDFIELD puts forward the theory,
382 THE PEDIGREE REGISTER [MAR. 1916
and supports it with figures, that it is impossible for anyone born within a
strings of bare names of which many Welsh pedigrees are composed were reliable
statements of fact, down from a certain point, which could not very easily be
determined ;
and Colonel THOMAS, who also spoke, gave interesting instances
a circumstance sufficiently remarkable. Mr. WOOD pointed out that the com-
plicated land-system of inheritance of the Welsh was one of the causes of their
careful preservation of a knowledge of relationship ; another was their criminal
law, which charged the kindred of a murderer, to a quite remote degree, with an
assessment for the material damage suffered by the dead man's kindred. Another
was that the coroner could be objected to if he were, within certain limits, akin
to the parties concerned.
The lecturer seemed rather to suggest that there must have been some official
but that they are dry and uninteresting because of their bareness they do not
stir the imagination, awaken the intelligence, or raise any picture in the mind.
They are phantom and elusive they neither raise a blush to the cheek nor a
:
tear to the eye. The value of a pedigree in these days depends upon what it
tells us of the people who figure in it. To say that David was the son of Jevan,
and he the son of Evan, and he the son of John, is nothing ; a genealogist is
something more than a mere stringer together of names. What we want to
know what these people were, where they were, and what they did. It
is
" "
interests a descendant to know, for example, that Davy Gam was squint of
eye and ended his life after a career of violence and rapine, or that Jevan GOCH
was red of hair and straight of limb even for such small mercies we are grateful,
and there is always the possibility of adding to them.
Criticism is useless if not constructive. What we should like our Welsh
friends in the Society to do would be to take the most reliable Welsh MSS. and
pedigree books ; say, for a beginning, the Golden Grove book, make a fair copy
of the strings of names and scraps of other detail contained in them, with plenty
of space between each, and present it to the Society. Then, as contributory
evidence turned up from time to time, such facts could be added,
quoting
authorities, and a living record would gradually be formed, invaluable for future
reference and really interesting.
