* In this catalogue are no less than nine different works on " the phisickes." 



A taste for medicine seems to have i-un in the family ; as no less than thi-ee mem- 

 hers of it were in the medical profession at Hull ; to wit ; 



1632-3, Jan. 28. James Best th' elder of Hull chirurgeon; my former wife 

 Clare ; my now wife Elizabeth ; my grandchikb'en Peter and Hugh, sons of my son 

 James Best; son Christopher; to my son Thomas my books on Phisicke. In 1648, 

 Sept. 14, Anthony Best of Hull, apothecary, mentions his wife Mary, and his son 

 Christopher. In 1664, Dec. 20, Thomas Best of Hull, apothecary, leaves to his 

 daiighter Elizabeth his capital messuage in Great Driffield, late bought of Thomas 

 Simpson, of Eiton, gent. ; and Robert Wittie of the city of York, doctor of Phi- 

 sicke, is to be her guardian. He mentioned his mother-in-law Elizabeth Best, de- 

 ceased ; James, Thomas, and John, sons of his brother Christopher Best. He had 

 married Dorothy, one of the daughters of Henry Best of Emswell, and makes his 

 brother John Best of Emswell, gent., supervisor. 



Of the other works the uncomfortable treatises of Thomas Stoughton, Daniel 

 Dykes, and Henry Greenwood seem to have been the latest novelties. 



b Robert Mark had mamed at Wath 1580, Sept. 11, Janetta Best. William Mark 

 married at Great Driffield 1615, June 16, Margery Skelton. A William Mark was 

 witness at Elmswell May 26, 1598. 



« This sum of 18s., a free rent for tythe, was again received by Francis Paul for 

 Mr. Salvin on Nov. 16, 1618 ; John Pearson was Procter, and received it Nov. 8, 

 1619. 



For an account of the family of Paul, see Surtees' Durham, to which the 

 following additions may be made. Christopher Paul of Nafferton made his will 

 1574, leaving by his wife Katherine two sons, Christopher, and Henry Paul of Skerne, 

 whose wiU is dated 1610; the Francis in the text was then his son and heir, but 

 appears to have deceased before 1635 ; he had also a son William. Chrij;topher was 

 of Naiferton, and had a son Christopher, living in 1610, 1635. One of that name 

 was "Magister Scholarum," at Gisbrough in Cleveland in 1639; another resided at 

 Nafferton in James the Second's reign, and voted for the county in 1708. To this 

 branch probably belongs the Francis Poole who married June 14, 1647, at Ruston 

 Parva, Allice Smith, and had William, baptised there, April 23, 1648; Matthew, 

 Sept. 23, 1649; John, March 16, 1654-5. George Paul married there, Oct. 22, 

 1609, Dorothy Meyson. 



A younger branch of the great house of Salvin of Ugthorpe and Newbiggin was 

 seated at Kilham, and buried at Lowthorpe. Anne, one of the daughters of Sir 

 Francis Salvin, Kt., by Margaret, daughter of Ralph Eure, married John Thom- 

 holme of Hastrop, and her sister Mary, Francis Copeindale of Hovsom, both in the 

 neighbourhood of Driffield, on the tower of which church is the coat of Salvin. 



Their brother Robert was living in 1585, and as he was the third son, may, per- 

 haps, be the same here mentioned. Mrs. Salvin, alluded to on page 120, was a 

 widow in 1635. 



Ralph Salvin presented to Sainton in 1619, and after him the Hodgson family, a 

 casual notice of which occurs on page 144.
