NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2nd S. No 40., Oct. 4. '56. 



Diabohgy. — Professor Vilmar of Marburg, 

 who asserts to have seen the evil spirit in propria 

 persona, is occupied in the compilation of an es- 

 pecial work under the above title. Professor 

 Vilmar considers the devil as an imitator or ape of 

 divinity, and ascribes all false doctrines (and bad 

 deeds) to its pernicious influence ! J. Lotsky.

SIE CHABLES RAYMOND, BABT. 



I am anxious, if possible, to trace the parentage 

 of the late Sir Charles Raymond, Bart., of Valen- 

 tines and Hifrhlands, co. Essex, who was created a 

 baronet in May, 1774. The title was conferred 

 with special limitation to his son-in-law and kins- 

 man, the late Sir William Burrell, who succeeded 

 as second baronet, and was father of the present 

 Sir Charles Burrell. None of the volumes of the 

 Peerage or Baronetage give the ancestry of Sir 

 Charles Raymond ; but I believe the family sup- 

 position is, that his family originally came fi'om 

 Devonshire, but at what period, or in what de- 

 gree Sir Charles was connected with the Ray- 

 monds of Devonshire, appears unknown. His 

 arms, which were Arg. three bars sable, are the 

 same as the Raymonds of Marpole, and thus con- 

 firm the belief of his Devon extraction. By his 

 wife Sarah Webster he left three daughters and 

 co-heirs, the eldest of whom married her kinsman, 

 William Burrell, to whom the title was confirmed. 

 Sir William was the second son of Peter Burrell, 

 Esq., M.P., of Beckenham, Kent, by Amy his 

 wife, eldest daughter of (Col.) Hugh Raymond, of 

 Sailing Hall, Essex, and Langley, Kent ; and was 

 uncle of the late Lord Gwydyr. The degree of 

 affinity between Sir Charles Raymond and Amy 

 Raymond, wife of Peter Burrell, is not clearly 

 shown, but it has been always understood they 

 were cousins. From Mrs. Burrell being stated as 

 the eldest daughter of Hugh Raymond, it is pre- 

 sumed he had other children. There appears to 

 have been also another branch, also said to be 

 cousins of Sir Charles, of which were, Jones and 

 John Raymond, who it is said were brothers. 

 John Raymond died so late as the year 1800, aged 

 eighty-seven years ; with him resided three maiden 

 sisters, his nieces, of the name of Snow. In the 

 Evelyn Pedigree it is stated that William Evelyn- 

 Glanville of St. Clere, Kent, married as his second 

 wife Bridget Raymond, sister and co-heir of Jones 

 Raymond. Of this marriage were two sons and 

 two daughters. William Evelyn, the eldest, suc- 

 ceeded to his father's estate ; George Raymond 

 Evelyn, the second son, was the first husband of 

 ^e Lady E.izabeth Leslie, who succeeded as 

 eleventh Countess of Rothes, and by whom he was 

 father of George William Evelyn, twelfth Earl of 



Rothes. The christian name of the eldest daugh- 

 ter does not appear in the Evelyn pedigree, but 



she is stated to have married Langton, Esq., 



of Newton Park, Somersetshire ; Sarah Evelyn, 

 the second daughter, was wife of Chase Price, 

 Esq., and their only daughter married Bamber 

 Gascoign, Esq., and was mother of the late Mar- 

 chioness of Salisbury. I should feel greatly in- 

 debted if, through the medium of your valuable 

 columns, I could be informed where I might meet 

 with a pedigree of the Raymonds of Devonshire, 

 or whether there is any account of the family in 

 any topographical work of Kent or Essex. The 

 name is, I believe, still extant in the county of 

 Devon, and also in Ireland, but the arms of the 

 Irish family in especial are totally distinct from 

 those borne by Sir Charles and the Marpole 

 family. J. B.

Did Archbishop Crunmer recant, in the proper 

 Sense of the Term? — Can any of the numerous 

 readers of " N. & Q." inform me whether any 

 original document, or anything approximating 

 thereto, exists touching Cranmer's subscription to 

 his supposed "recantation?" or are we to refer 

 for information solely to the mendacious tract 

 published by Cawood in 1556, under the direction 

 and superintendance of Bonner ?

The Close, Exeter. 



St. Peter, with a closed Booh. — Knowing that 

 one distinguishing mark between St. Peter and St. 

 Paul is a closed book in the hands of the latter, I 

 have been rather surprised to find in two instances 

 St. Peter carrying the book, closed, as St. Paul is 

 usually represented doing. In the museum at 

 Ypres, in an old carving, he is thus represented 

 with closed book and keys : St. Paul carrying a 

 similar book and sword. 



In a stone carvure, over the principal entrance 

 to Bromyard Church, Herefordshire, St. Peter is 

 likewise represented with keys and closed book. 



What do the different positions of this symbol 

 indicate ? And are there in the knowledge of 

 your readers any other similar representations of 

 the Apostle Peter ? if, indeed, the book is suffi- 

 ciently a distinguishing feature.

Binford Family, Arms of. — Are there in ex-

 family of Binford, co. Devon ? And if so, what 

 are they ? J. B.
