Cotton Family (2" S. i, 298.) — The jirst wife 
of Sir Thomas Cotton was “ Margaret, daughter 
of Lord William Howard (third son of Thomas, 
Duke of Norfolk; he was K. G., and ancestor of 
the Earls of Carlisle), married June 17, 1617, 
died March 5, 1625.” 
His second wife was “ Alice, daughter and heir 
of John Constable of Dromonby, in Yorkshire. 
She was relict of Edward Anderson of Stretton, 
Bedfordshire, Esq. (who died April 4, 1638). 
Quarterly gules and vaire, over all a bend or, 
thereon an annulet sable for difference.” 
By his first wife he had “Sir John Cotton, 
Bart. (of Stretton in right of his wife), member 
for the town of Huntingdon 13 C. IL., and for the 
county 1 J. II.; died Sept. 12, 1702, aged eighty- 
one.” 
This Sir John married two wives, “ Elizabeth, 
daughter of Sir Thomas Honeywood of Marks- 
hall in Essex, Knt.;” and “ Dorothy, daughter 
and heir of Edmund Anderson of Stretton, Esq. 
(by Alice his wife). Argent, a chevron between 
three crosses patoncé sable.” 
The other children of Sir Thomas by his first

Wodehouse of Kimberley, Norfolk, Bart.), and 
Frances, born 1619, and died unmarried, 1636.” 
By his second wife, Alice, he had, 1. “ Thomas,

occurred in printing the foregoing last week, we have 
thought it best to reprint a corrected extract from the 
MS. pedigree. ] 
Hay and Delawaye (2° 8. i. 293, 294.) —I am 
sorry my handwriting should be so difficult to 
make out as to induce your printer to make two 
great mistakes in my Queries inserted in this 
week’s ‘“N. & Q.,” which will make them both 
useless unless corrected. In the lst page 293, for 
“ Margaret Kery ” read ‘ Margaret Hay,” and for 
“ Dr. John Kery ” read “ Dr, John Hay ;” again 
in the next. page, for “ Dallawage” read “ Dalla- 
waye,” a “go” being inserted instead of a “y.” 
Perhaps in inserting these corrections you will be 
good enough to add the following: Was John 
Dallaway, M.A. of Trinity College, Oxford, and 
.S.A., who published in 1793 Inquiries into the 
Origin and Progress of the Science of Heraldry 
in England, related to this family. Their arms 
were “Arg. two lions in chief counter-passant, 
and one in base passant, all guardant gu. armed 
and langued, az. Crest. A demi lion, rampant, 
holding in his paw a staff, erect, ppr. on a banner 
appendant thereto, and flotant to the sinister, arg. 
a saltier, of the first.” Aurrep T, Lee. 
Vicarage, Tetbury, April 12, 1856. 
“ Do you go well to the ground” (2 §. i. 86.) 
— This expression from Middleton’s play, The 
Family of Love, Act v. Se. 3., is explained by 
your correspondent to mean (in Herefordshire) 
“to cover the feet.” Such may be the meaning 
of the phrase in Herefordshire, but it bears ano- 
ther signification in the county of Durham, where 
“to get to the ground” in medical phraseology 
means “to have the bowels opened.” That this 
is the meaning of the passage in Middleton is ob- 
vious from the context. The slight difference 
between the verbs go and get is of no importance.
