NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 190. 



easily traceable. Isabella Markham, one of the 

 six ladies, married Sir John Harin<Tton himself. 



On referring to Lodge's Illustrations, I find the 

 Lord John Grey one of those noblemen appointed 

 to attend Queen Elizabeth on her entree from 

 Hatfield to London on her accession, so that his 

 daughter may well have been one of her maids of 

 honour ; yet from comparison of dates I think she 

 can scarce have been the wife of Henry Denny.

Sir John Fleming (Vol. vii., p. 356.). — If Caret 

 can obtain access to the pedigree of the Flemings 

 of Rydal Hall, Westmoreland, I anticipate he will 

 find that this Sir John was the third son of Sir 

 Michael le Fleming, who came over at the instance 

 of Baldwin, Earl of Flanders, to assist King Wil- 

 liam in his conquest of England. I may add that 

 the Rydal family, honoured with a baronetcy, 

 Oct. 4, 1704, bear for their arms — " Gules, a fret 

 argent." T. Hughes. 



Chester. 



Life (Vol. vii., p. 429.). — Campbell, in his 

 lines entitled A Dream^ writes : 



*' Hast thou felt, poor self-deceiver ! 

 Life's career so void of pain, 

 As to wish its fitful fever 

 New begun again ? " 



Though everybody knows the line — 



" After life's fitful fever he sleeps well " — 



I think Campbell might have acknowledged his 

 adoption of the words by marking them, and might 

 have improved his own lines (with all deference 

 be it said) if he had written — 



" Hast thou felt, poor self-deceiver ! 

 Thy career so void of pain. 

 As to wish ' life's fitful fever ' 

 New begun again ? " 



F. James. 



" I would not live my days over again if I could 

 command them by a wish, for the snares of life are 

 greater than the fears of death." (Penn's father, the 

 Admiral.) 



Penn himself said, that if he had to live his life 

 over again, he could serve God, his neighbour, and 

 himself better than he had done. Considering the 

 history of the father and son's respective lives (and 

 of those I before alluded to), though the latter's 

 remarks may appear presumptuous, which showed 

 the most wisdom is an open question. Does not 

 H. C. K.'s professional experience enable him to 

 give a more certain opinion of ordinary men's 

 feelings than is expressed in " I fear not?" A. C. 



Family ofKelway (Vol. vii., p. 529.). — In reply 

 to the Query as to this family in " N. & Q." of 

 May 28, 1 beg to mention that in MS. F. 9. in the 



Heraldic MSS. In Queen's College library, Ox- 

 ford, is a pedigree of the family of Kelway of 

 Shereborne, co. Dorset, and White Parish, Wilts. 

 The arms are beautifully tricked. There is a 

 bordure engrailed to the Kelway coat. With it 

 are these quarterings : 2, a leopard's face g. entre 

 five birds close s., three in chief, two in base. 3, 

 az. a camel statant arg. Crest, on a wreath arg. 

 and g. a cock arg. crested, beaked, wattled, az.

Sir G. Browne, Bart. (Vol. vH., p. 528.).— The 

 particulars given by Newbury, while introducing 

 his Query, are extremely vague and inaccurate. 

 In the first place, the individual he styles Sir 

 George Browne, Bart., was In reality simple George 

 Browne, Esq., of Caversham, Oxon, and Wickham, 

 Kent. This gentleman, who would have been a 

 valuable acquisition to any nascent colony, married 

 Elizabeth (jiot Eleanor), second daughter of Sir 

 Richard Blount, of Maple Durham, and had by 

 her nineteen children, pretty evenly divided as to 

 sex : for I read that of the daughters, three at least 

 died young ; other three became nuns ; and one 



married Yates, Esq., a Berkshire gentleman. 



Of the sons, three, as Newbury relates, fell glo- 

 riously fighting for Charles, their sovereign. 

 Neither of these latter were married : indeed, the 

 only sons who ventured at all into the bonds of 

 wedlock were George, the heir, and John, a 

 younger brother. George married Mary Eliza- 

 beth, daughter of Sir Francis Englefield, Knt., a 

 Popish recusant, and left two daughters, his co- 

 heiresses. John, his brother, created a baronet 

 May 19th, 1665, married Mrs, Bradley, a widow, 

 and had issue three sons and three daughters. The 

 sons, Anthony, John, and George, inherited the 

 baronetcy In succession, the two former dying 

 bachelors : the third son. Sir George, married his 

 sister-in-law, Gertrude Morley, and left three 

 sons, the first of whom, Sir John, succeeded his 

 father ; and with him the baronetcy became dor- 

 mant, if not Indeed extinct. T. Hughes, 



Chester. 



Americanisms, so called (Vol. vi., p. 554. ; 

 Vol. vii., p. 51.). — Thurley Bottom, near Great 

 Llarlow, dear to " the Fancy," may be added to 

 the list of J. S.'s. F. James. 



Sir Gilbert Gerard (Vol. v., pp. 511. 571.; 

 Vol. vi., p. 441.).— Sir Gilbert Gerard, Master of 

 the Rolls temp. Queen Elizabeth, died on the 

 4th of February, and was interred on the 6th of 

 March, 1592 (Old Style), In Ashley Church, In 

 Staffordshire. The style most probably led Dug- 

 dale Into the error noticed by your learned corre- 

 spondent Mr. Foss, in his last communication to 

 " N. & Q.," relative to the probate of Sir Gilbert 

 Gerard's will. I beg to forward you an extract 

 taken from the Parish Register of Ashley, which,
