NOTES AND QUERIES. 



211 



of Coker, co. Somerset, who married, in 1621, 

 Christian, dauj^hter of Will. Gary of Clovelly, co. 

 Devon, and died in 1634, leaving issue. This 

 marriage is proved by family deeds, and. is noted 

 in Coles's Escheats, and in the descent of Helyar 

 given in the Visit, of Somerset, 1672 (penes Coll. 

 Arm.). 



I have not, however, been able to find any 

 mention of either marriage in the ordinary pedi- 

 grees of Gary, and should therefore be greatly 

 obliged to any Devon antiquary who could favour 

 me with farther information. C. J. Robinsoj». 



Voi.ow=To BAPTIZE. — Tyndale, in his Obe- 

 dience of a Christian Man, p. 310., vol. i. of Rus- 

 sell's edition, says : — 



" Baptism is called volowing in many places of England, 

 because the priest saith, Volo say ye. The child was well 

 volowed (say they) ; yea, and our vicar is as fair a volower 

 as ever a priest within this twenty miles." 



But Tyndale is plainly in error as to the deri- 

 vation of volow. For it has nothing to do with 

 volo or Latin, but is true Anglo-Saxon. Mr. 

 Coleridge, in his Glossary, has, — 



" Folewen, v. a. baptize. Marg. 58. A.-S. fullian, to 

 whiten, baptize." 



And in the Harrowing of Hell, ed. Halliwell, 

 we find, 1. 22., — 



" Ant to Johan the Baptist, 

 Th&t fohwede Jhesu Christ." 



And 1. 208., — 



" Loverd Christ, icham Johan, 

 That the folewede in flum Jordan." 



Query, Is the word still in use in any parts of 

 England ? Defniel. 



KiLPiRNiE. — Can any correspondent inform me 

 of any tradition connected with the name of an 

 eminence near Cupar Angus called Kilpirnie. The 

 name is peculiar. Kil is a common prefix, as Kil- 

 bagie, Killicrankie, Kilmarnock, Kilwinning. Pir- 

 nie is an uncommon name ; perhaps one of the 

 most so. The only work in which I ever observed 

 it is Froissart's, where a Flemish knight so named 

 is mentioned. Pe'rne, I believe, is, or rather was, 

 a name oftener met with, and the arms given to it 

 have as a charge a pelican, &c. M. M. M. 



Execution of Lord Kilmarnock. — Among 

 the spectators at the execution of the Earl of 

 Kilmarnock and Lord Balmerino on Tower Hill, 

 in the month of August, 1746, was Spencer Duke 

 of Marlborough, the grandson of the great war- 

 rior, the first duke. He was accompanied to the 

 spot by three or four young ladies. One of these 

 was (I believe) a Lady Lucy Rice, a member of 

 the family from which the present Lord Dynevor 

 descends. Can any correspondent of " N. & Q." 

 oblige the writer by informing him whether any 

 account has been preserved of the principal per- 

 sonages who witnessed the execution, and if the 



Duke of Marlborough and his party are enu- 

 merated in it ? or whether any family tradition 

 exists to corroborate the foregoing statement ? 



Perhaps you could tell me whether any lists of 

 deaths of persons of station and title were pub- 

 lished about the year 1734 by contemporary news- 

 papers. The Gentleman's Magazine of that date 

 mentions some of the births, deaths, and marriages 

 of the time, but I have not seen any other perio- 

 dical containing them. An answer would be duly 

 esteemed by Jatteb. 



Margaret Vaughan. — In the course of a 

 ramble in North Wales during the last month, 

 I passed a night at Llanwrst, in the old church 

 at which place there are some very curious monu- 

 ments, which no visitor should omit seeing. In 

 the chancel there is an old-fashioned, but not 

 inelegant, mural tablet, in memory of Margaret 

 Vaughan, to whose schedule of virtues is added 

 the information that " she was the Sappho of her 

 age." I would beg to be allowed to ask Mr. 

 Woodward or Mb. Salisbury whether they 

 know anything about this lady and her poems, 

 and, if the latter be in English, where they are to 

 be seen ? I trust no apology will be necessary 

 for this direct appeal, made as it is, with all re- 

 spect, to gentlemen whose names appear in " N. 

 & Q." (aiite, p. 125.) in connexion with Welsh 

 bibliography. H. 



St. Paul's School, Number of its Scholars. 

 — This school was founded and endowed by Dean 

 Colet, in 1512, for the free education of 153 poor 

 scholars. The founder is said to have selected the 

 above number with reference to the miraculous 

 draught of fishes recorded John xxi. : the net, 

 which St. Peter drew to land, containing " an 

 hundred and fifty and three." - I find this men- 

 tioned in Knight's Cyclopcedia of London, and 

 Cunningham's Handbook, &c. Is this alluded to 

 in any Life of Dean Colet ? F. Phillott.
