APPENDIX II. 



Since the printing of the first part of this paper, some further 

 notices of the Widdringtons of Hauxley have been obtained. 



A reference to the table*'' given in page 99 will show that William 

 Widdrington of Barnhill, who died in 1664, left a widow and infant 

 daughter. The former almost immediately married again; there 

 is filed a bond of marriage, dated 24th July 1665, of Lionel Fenwick 

 of Blagdon,gent., and Barbara Widdrington, widow ; and on the 5th January 

 1665-6, probate of the will of William Widdrington, late of Barnhill, 

 parish of Felton, was granted to Barbara the widow, alias Fenwick, now 

 wife of Lionel Fenwick, late widow of defunct. 



A memorandum of Mr Ralph Carr of Dunstan Hill refers to Nathaniel 

 and the last John Widdrington. "J. W[iddrington] wrote me the 

 doctor had no manner of hopes of Nathaniel W[iddrington], and had 

 recommended him to return to his own air and ride, when able, by 

 the sea side. And he desired I would send him an open letter for 

 N. W[iddrington] repeating his promise to make his will, this I 

 immediately did, and hoped, as we had now a fine spring, he would 

 find speedy benefit at Hauxley, that 1 had sent down a famous dancing 

 elbow chair for my wife and children, that I bought at Malin, and 

 recommended his trying it in a rainy day, when he could not mount 

 his nag, and he did so." [This chair is still at Dunstan Hill.]*^ 



" By a clerical error the christian names of the two brothers Widdrington 

 in Gen. ii. of the table are both given as William. That of the elder 

 brother the Deputy High SherifE of 1664 was and ought to be printed 

 Robert Widdrington : he was the father of Wm. Widdrington of Barnhill.
