rREWCH PROTESTANT RErUGEES. 



(Vol. xi., p. 206.) 



Your correspondent Mr. Mark Antony Lower 

 will find much information of the kind he seeks 

 concerning foreign settlers in the Rev, Joseph 

 'Hunter's Histori/ of the Deanery of Doncaster, and 

 Dr. Stonehouse's History of the Isle of Axholme. 



In the year 1626, Cornelius Vermuiden, a Zea- 

 lander, undertook to drain and bring under culti- 

 vation the extensive swamp known as Hatfield 

 Chase. To assist in this work he invited over 

 many Flemings, Dutch, and French, who re- 

 ceived grants of land in the district. During 

 the Great Rebellion the poor settlers had many 

 difficulties to contend with, and after that time 

 suffered so severely from their riotous neighbours 



the old inhabitants, that many of them returned 

 to their own country. 



The following list of names I copy from a 

 modern transcript of A hrief Account of the 

 Drainage of the Level of Hatfield Chase, and 

 Parts adjacent, in the Counties of York, Lincoln, 

 and Nottingham, said to be by Abraham de la 

 Pryme ; but why so said I know not. It has 

 evidently been compiled by some one well ac- 

 quainted with the history and topography of the 

 district, and is, judging by the style, at least a 

 century and a half old : 



Sir Philip Vernatte. 



Abram Vernatte. 



Dubling. 



Furqnoir. 



Blancart. 



Benevele. 



Scanfair. 



Lonque. 



Delahay. 



Eghardor. (Egiir.) 



Cayday.

Roubult. 



Renard. 



Franche. 



Smague. 



(Smack.) 

 Cough Hay. 

 Herneue. (Harnue.) 

 Hanker. (Anker.) 

 Blancarr.

These were the first participants 

 French. 

 Laflour. 

 Lebrand. 

 Dubertlat.

Most of these families are now extinct, and those 

 which remain have in many instances altered their 

 names, so that they are scarcely to be identified. 

 Legat, Egar, Brunyee, and Vanplue yet remain in 

 their original integrity. Blancard and Horegrave 

 have become Blanchard and Hargrave. 



The original manuscript of De la Pryme's His- 

 tory of Hatfield is among the Harleian MSS.* in 

 the British Museum, where Mr. Lower will pro- 

 bably find much to his purpose, 



Edward Peacock. 

 Bottesford Moors, Kirton-in-Lindsey.

 the Index. — Ed.]
