NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No, 114. 



Can any of your correspondents describe this 

 Quarter Waggoner ? And, as the master keeps the 

 ofBcial Zog--book, can you kindly tell me how that 

 recondite volume came to be so designated ?

Sir Roger Wilcock. — Can any of your anti- 

 quarian readers favour me with the armorial en- 

 signs of Sir Roger Wilcock, knight, whose daugh- 

 ter and heiress, Agnes, was wife to Sir Richard 

 Turberville, of Coyty Castle, in Glamorganshire, 

 and by him mother of two sons. Sir Payn, after- 

 wards Lord of Coyty, and Wilcock Turberville, 

 who by his wife Maud, heiress of Tythegstone, in 

 the same county, was ancestor of the Turbervilles 

 of that place, and of Penlline Castle. 



The lineage of this ancient and knightly family 

 of Turberville is not given correctly in Burke's 

 Dictionary of the Landed Gentry for the year 1847. 

 The marriage of Christopher Turberville of Pen- 

 lline (sheriff for Glamorgan in 1549 and 1568) with 

 Agnes Gwyn*, heiress of Rydervven in the county 

 of Caermarthen, and widow of Henry Vaughan, 

 Esq., is altogether omitted in Burke, and for the 

 correctness of which see Lewis Dwnn's Heraldic 

 Visitation into Wales and its Marches, vol.ii. (near 

 the commencement) title "Rydervven;" and in 

 vol. i. of the same work, p. 140., title " Ystrad- 

 corwg," Catherine, the issue of that marriage, and 

 one of the daughters and coheiresses of Christopher 

 Turberville, is mentioned as the wife of David 

 Lloyd of that place, in the parish of Llanllawddog, 

 CO. Caermarthen, sheriff in 1590 and 1601. In 

 further corroboration of this, we find that the 

 Lloyds of Glanguelly and Ystradcorwg, descen- 

 dants of the said marriage, ever afterwards quar- 

 tered the arms of Turberville, viz. " chequy or and 

 gu. a fesse ermine," with their own paternal 

 shield. It is not improbable that the marriage of 

 Christopher Turberville with the aforementioned 

 Agnes, kinswoman of the Rices, may have had some 

 influence in allaying the deadly animosity which 

 had previously existed between the rival houses of 

 Dynevor and Penlline. 



Again, in vol. iv. of Burke's History of the Com- 

 moners for the year 1838, Jenkyn Turberville of 

 Tythegstone, fourth in descent from Wilcock 

 Turberville, is stated to have wedded Florence, 

 daughter of Watkyn ab Rasser Vaughan, and to 



* According to Lewis Dwnn, this Agnes Gwyn was 

 daughter and coheiress (by Margaret his wife, daughter 

 of Sir Rhys ab Thomas. K.G.) oF Henry ab John of 

 Ryderwen, son and heir (by Mabli, or Eva, his wife, 

 daughter and coheiress of Henry ab Guilym, of Curt 

 Henri and Llanlais, in the vale of Llangathen, Caer- 

 inarthenshire) of John ab Henry (otherwise Penry), 

 kinsman to the aforesaid Sir Rhys ab Thomas, and a 

 branch of the Penrys of Llanelli, derived from a com- 

 mon origin with the ancient and noble house of 

 Dynevor. 



have had issue by her two sons, Richard *, who 

 continued the line at Tythegstone, and Jenkyn, 

 father of the said Christopher, of Penlline Castle, 

 Glamorgan. By reference to Lewis Dwnn's work, 

 edited by the late talented and much lamented 

 antiquary, Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick, article 

 "Vaughan of Bretwardine, co. Hereford, and 

 Pembrey Court, Caermarthenshire," we find that 

 Jenkyn Turberville married Denis, daughter of 

 Watkyn ab Sir Roger Vaughan, knight, with the 

 following remark in Welsh : " Ag nl bu dim plant 

 o Derbil iddi ag wedi guraig Morgan ab Jenkyn 

 gur Tre Dineg;" that is to say, "She had no 

 children by Turberville, and she afterwards became 

 the wife of Morgan ab Jenkyn," — I presume, of 

 Tredegar, in Monmouthshire. Is it not, there- 

 fore, likely that he married twice ; that his first 

 wife was Cecil Herbert, and the mother of his two 

 sons? 



A correct lineage of the Turbervilles, with the 

 ensigns they were entitled to quarter, down to 

 Christopher Turberville's co-heiress Catherine, the 

 wife of David Lloyd, would greatly oblige

Ruffles, when worn. — At what time did the 

 fashion of wearing ruffles come in ? and when did 

 it go out ? 



Many persons living at the present time remem- 

 ber their being generally worn in respectable, and 

 occasionally in what may be called minor life. 



The clergy did not wear them. 



So general was their use in the early part of the 

 reign of George III., that the Rev. William Cole, 

 of Milton, in the account of his Journey to France, 

 in 1765, says he was taken for an English clergy- 

 man because he did not wear them, and in conse- 

 quence addressed " M. I'Abbe." 



Dr. John Ash. — I should feel exceedingly 

 obliged by information respecting the birth-place 

 and early history of Dr. John Ash, formerly an 

 eminent physician practising in Birmingham, and 

 the founder of the General Hospital in that town. 

 He was a graduate of Trinity College, Oxford ; his 

 doctor's degree was taken in 1764. He died at 

 Brompton, Knightsbridge, in 1798. Every avail- 

 able source has been searched in vain for in- 

 formation on this subject. It is required for 

 literary purposes. F. Russell.

 Stationers'^ Hall, Lib. C, under the year 1597,

 the celebrated Welsh bard, Lewis of Glyn Cothi. — Vide
