Notes respecting some of the above names : — 



Robert Child, of Heddington, has been long regarded as the father of the 

 modern banking system. 



The Tayler (not Taylor) family of Devizes, apparently the ancestors of Admiral 

 Taylor, the supporter of Admiral Durham, the Tory candidate for Devizes, in 

 1832, were such vehement anti-Royalists at the Civil War period that in 1661 

 Charles 11. wrote to the Mayor of Devizes, directing him to eject John Tayler 

 from the office of Town Clerk, in favour of Robert Foote, who had suffered in 

 the Penruddocke rising. 



Cromwell.— There was a considerable group of this family scattered about 

 Laycock, Bath, Keevil, Seend, Melksham, and Devizes (deriving from Sir Philip, 

 the uncle of the Protector h) Those in Bath were master stone quarriers, those 

 in Wiltshire cloth manufacturers. The will of John Cromwell, of Roundway, 

 Devizes, dated 1746, constitutes as executor his brother, Philip Cromwell, cloth 

 worker, residing in Bedborough [now known as the London Road]. Philip's own 

 will is dated 1747, the witnesses being Solomon Hughes and Mary Walters. 



Hippisley. May it not be assumed that Robert Hippisley was the benevolent 

 gentleman who had the courage to relieve, on their weary march to Oxford jail.
