tiating further post routes with Gov. Winthrop at Hartford, hurt 
his reputation. The debts on his plundered plantation involved 
- him in pecuniary difficulties. He was arrested for debt and after 
his return to England he was tried for permitting the surrender of 
Fort James to the Dutch. His illness of dropsy stayed the pro- 
ceedings and he died in the latter part of 1675, without issue, 
having lived his troublesome 55 years as a bachelor. Doctor 
Pleasants takes pains to dispel the oft-repeated errors that have 
confused the Governor’s name with that of his cousin Francis 
Lovelace, who married Ann King and was the ancestor of John 
Lovelace, governor of New York in 1709, and with that of another 
Francis Lovelace, recorder of Canterbury, and of still another 
Francis Lovelace who died in Maryland in 1684. This last Francis 
Lovelace may have been the son of the governor’s brother Thomas, 
whose connection with Ellis Duxbury’s glebe has béen elucidated — 
by Mr. Delavan. These interesting data relating to Lovelace were 
brought to the attention of the publication committee by Mr. 
Royden Woodward Vosburgh.
