NOTES AND QUERIES.

Sandford, it is by no means certain that he had 

 any supervision in the engraving of the arms, 

 since the coronet is evidently fanciful in this in- 

 stance, and it was not until years after that the 

 Ducal Coronet made its appearance. 



It may be said that down to the Restoration 

 there was no difference in the mitres worn, or 

 surmounting the armorial ensigns of the Sees of 

 the Archbishops and Bishops, with the exception 

 of Durham. 



That about the year 1688 Sancroft (who was 

 consecrated 27 January, 1677-8, in Westminster 

 Abbey, and deprived 1 February, 1690-1) has 

 ascribed to his mitre the Marquis s Coronet in a 

 print by White, and the Ducal Coronet is ascribed 

 to that of Archbishops Wake and Blackburn in 

 1730. 



That since 1730 the assumption seems to have 

 established itself, and continued to the present 

 day ; but nothing like a grant or legal authority 

 is to be found for so using the mitre out of a Ducal 

 Coronet. 



It has been hinted that the style of " Grace " 

 given to the Archbishops, being that given to 

 Dukes, may have afforded the suggestion of 

 adding the ducal coronet to the mitre. 



In the Lambeth Library is a MS., No. 555., a 

 small 4to. bound in calf, containing the arms of 

 the respective Prelates of the See of Canterbury 

 from the time of Lanfranc to that of Dr. John 

 Moore, who died in January, 1805. The arms 

 are illuminated on vellum, and surmounted by a 

 mitre. 



From the commencement down to the bearing 

 of Thos. Herring, Archbishop in 1747, and who 

 died 1757, the character of the mitres are similar, 

 and in no instance does the mitre appear with a 

 ducal coronet. The arms of Herring are followed 

 by those of Mathew Hutton, translated from the 

 See of York to the See of Canterbury in 1757, 

 and his coat is the first surmounted with a mitre 

 within the ducal coronet. From that time to the 

 succession of Moore, translated from Bangor in 

 1783, which is the last in the MS., the mitre ap- 

 pears within the ducal coronet. 



In the great window in Juxon's Hall, now the 

 library, are the arms of various Prelates since the 

 Restoration : some of modern date have the mitre 

 out of coronets, which in some instances resemble 

 more those of a marquis or foreign count. They 

 have been executed by artists without reference 

 to accuracy. The bearing, however, of the mitre 

 out of a ducal coronet seems to have been adopted 

 without variation since the elevation of Hutton to 

 the See of Canterbury in 1757. These remarks 

 are made more in reference to the mode of bear- 

 ing the mitre by the Archbishops of Canterbury, 

 though I am not aware of any deviation by the 

 Prelates of the See of York since the time of 

 Archbishop Blackburn, but have not made that 



rigid inquiry into the subject as in the case of 

 Canterbury. G. 



BUNYAN PEDIGBEE. 

 (1 st S. ix. 223. ; xii. 491. ; 2 nd S. i. 81. 170. 234.) 



George Bunyan (1.) married Mary Haywood 

 (2.) at St. Nicholas church, Nottingham, 1754, 

 and had children : (3.) Thomas, 1755 ; (4.) Ann, 

 1756; (5.) George, 1758; (6.) Mary, 1760; (7.) 

 Mary, 1762; (8.) Elizabeth, 1763; (9.) William, 

 1764 ; (10.) Sarah, 1765 ; (11.) William and (12.) 

 George, 1766; (13.) Amelia, 1767. 



(3.) Thomas, Bombardier, married — Mather, 

 no children ; burgess list, Nottingham, hosier, 

 1776. (4.) Died near London, at Godmaster (?); 

 (5.) died young ; (6.) died 1761 ; (7.) married 

 Mr. Sanigear, cashier in Bank of England, died 

 Dec. 11, 1856. The portrait of John Bunyan, 

 formerly in her possession ("N. & Q.," 2 nd S. i. 

 81.), is now the property of Mr. Wilkinson, Clin- 

 ton Street, Nottingham. (8.) Married Thomas 

 Pinder, shoemaker, and had children : George, 

 Thomas, Catherine, and Mary. (9.) Died young. 

 (10.), (11.), and (12.), died when babies. (13.) 

 Married Thomas Bradley, 1792, and had children : 

 George, Ann, and Thomas ; died 1858. 



From (13.) mainly I learnt, among others, these 

 particulars : — Her father was born at Elstow 

 (this was said doubtfully), and his marriage dis- 

 pleased Mary Haywood's father, who called him 

 "the tinker," and made him go to church; but 

 he used to say, " This morning I have had milk 

 and water, this afternoon I will have some strong 

 drink ;" and used to go to the meeting-house. 

 But after the birth of Thomas, (2.) was never 

 called the tinker's wife. (This is probably the 

 foundation of the report that a son of John Bun- 

 yan married a woman of property in Nottingham, 

 and had to abjure his sect.) 



(1.) got into debt in consequence of his politics, 

 and was by Lord Howe made Inspector of Stores 

 in Philadelphia on approval. He there died of 

 fever (there is another story), when (13.) was 

 about "twelve or thirteen years old. This would 

 be about the time of the occupation of Phila- 

 delphia by the British, and Uneda could probably 

 make some discovery on the point. 



(1.) had a brother, Capt. Wm. Bunyan, drowned 

 at sea : his wife Elizabeth lies in St. Mary's 

 chancel. Nottingham burgess list : Wm. Bunyan, 

 Lieutenant in the Navy, 1767. Bunyan, Capt. 

 William, as well as his brother George, voted for 

 Hon. William Howe, 1774. Perhaps some naval 

 book-worm could help me to farther information. 



(1.) had a sister Catharine, a maiden lady, 

 whom he fetched from Bedford, and settled as 

 milliner in Nottingham : a sister or other near 

 relation, Susanna, who came from Bedford on
