PREFATORY REMARKS.
'Phe Author formed the design of visitiag the older English colonies of the West
Indies, and of examining, so far as he might be permitted, their local records,
with a view to the production of a work which should contribute, through the genea-
logical medium, to a better knowledge of the social origin of those colonies, in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
It may not be unworthy of note, that those early settlers were, as a rule, men of
great energy, with moderate political opinions. They belonged to the same class
from which the titled aristocracy is for the most part derived, and many of their
numerous descendants are to be found in the present peerage and baronetage, holding
posts of honour under the Crown.
The higher class of planters or proprietors almost invariably educated their
children in England ; and, although in those days, the voyage was so much longer
and more difficult than at present, it is surprising how frequently those colonial gentry
made it ; and many of their adventures might, even now, afford subject of interest for
the novelist.
There was, towards the close of the seventeenth century, another element in the
social condition of these colonies — namely, white slaves,— an institution perhaps sug-
gested by Cromwell's Government, but only carried out to its full extent, by James the
Second, while disposing of the unfortunate adherents of Monmouth.
Another principal object of the present collection is, to preserve records which,
in the course of a few generations, would otherwise be destroyed through neglect,
spoliation, the effects of climate, and other causes.
In Jamaica, most of the handsome old mausoleums — at Port Royal, for instance —
being secluded from the town, and partially concealed by gigantic cacti, cashaw, and,
mangrove trees, have been, from time to time, broken into and plundered — the leaden
coffins stolen, the marble tablets carried off, and sold again for the like purposes,
and the empty vault left for the lugubrious pic-nics of the " dangerous," or at any
rate, idle classes, whose broken bottles, mingled with the relics of humanity, bear wit-
ness to the revelries by which they have been desecrated.

X PRE FA TOR Y REMARKS.
In many other places, the older slabs have been broken up, to supply the ordinary
necessities of repairing walls, &c., while, in some of the disused cemeteries, the monu-
ments themselves have been gradually and surely entombed, by the encroachments of
the matted crab-weed. In numerous instances, the larger sepulchres have been
insidiously destroyed by the seeds of overhanging trees, which, vegetating in their
fissures, and striking their roots downwards, in search of nourishment, have so disinte-
grated the masonry, as, in some places, to carry it up in their growth, and in others, to
reduce it to mouldering heaps. Such a struggle between robust nature and frail art,
in the less frequented private cemeteries, has generally resulted in the entire destruc-
tion of tombs scarcely half a century old.
The present collection was made in 1858 and 1864-5,* and almost entirely anno-
tated by the author, under circumstances of considerable personal difficulty, in the
churches and cemeteries of Jamaica, and Barbados. Later, he discovered that some
pamphlets, entitled " Church Notes," and " A History of the Parish of St. James',
Jamaica,"-}- had been printed by the late Mr. Roby, of the latter island, and from
portions of these, which fell into his hands, and also from a small MS. collection of
pedigrees given to him by the late Mr. H. L. Long, of Hampton Lodge, he has made
several useful extracts, which will be found duly acknowledged, along with other de-
sultory contributions.
After many researches amongst the local public records of the West Indies, the
author, on his return to England, continued his annotations in the various registries
of the three Kingdoms ; but, ultimately finding these too extensive for the limits of
his work, he made a careful selection, and then abridged the latter. {
One of the objects of the present work being to link, however slightly, the Home
and Colonial records of the seventeenth century, the author made an application to

cemeteries, must resort to manual labour ; and the author has, not unfrequently
passed days, from breakfast-time until sunset, with the common woodman's cutlas,
clearing away the dense and matted undergrowth, while approaching the objects of his
search.
In these dark and humid spots, shut up in woods which have undone the labours,
in some instances, of generations, the loneliness is equal to, if not greater, than that of
the great forests of India, for here animal life — with the exception of birds and insects
■ — is almost unknown, and the perfect solitude is quite undisturbed. But although there
may be grander trees in the Indian forests, they cannot compare with those of the
West Indies in the wealth of gorgeous blossoms, and in variety of aspect, from the
wild tamarind, whose graceful boughs hang out their scarlet clusters, and the spicy
pimento, with its chaste myrtle bloom — to the cedars, and the giant cotton tree,
overgrown with delicate or brilliant flowering orchids, and festooned with climbing
plants of exquisite beauty.
Without a record of every consecrated ground in the West Indies, and more
especially, in a densely wooded island like Jamaica, it would be impossible to make a
complete collection of these mortuary memorials ; and moreover, without very unusual
advantages, a private explorer would meet with incessant and vexatious obstacles.
The author made this collection as exhaustive as possible, where he had the oppor-
tunity, but much has been left undone.
He did not confine himself, as will be observed, to the transcription of merely
old, curious, or dignified epitaphs, but included many of no particular interest,
and which can only be expected to acquire a slight value in the lapse of time. Nor
did he desire to make, by a studied selection, any invidious distinction between social
classes, and different races and nationalities. There are doubtless inconveniences in
thus treating the subject — especially since the period of the negro emancipation — but
there is a classical excuse, which may be accepted as sufficient apology —
"Nil nimiilm studeo, Caesar, tibi velle placerej
Nee scire utnim sis alius an ater homo!'
The intention of the author was originally restricted to a collection of epitaphs,
from the earliest period to the year 1750, but, for reasons which will be apparent,
this limit has been frequently exceeded, except as regards the island of Barbados, in
which his stay was so short that it would have been impossible to do otherwise, while
on the other hand, where inscriptions, mostly of modern date, were received from a
few minor islands, it seemed undesirable to reject them, in conformity to an arbitrary
arrangement.
The endeavour has been made to avoid, in annotation, the error of over-
estimating the importance of families whose influence was only local, but, at the
same time, not to overlook anything curious in their histories, and also to give

* Archbishop Whately was, doubtless, just in the following remarks, but, as much of this spirit of which he
complained will always prevail, it is scarcely safe to be generous : — "I have always desired to repress that narrow,
provincial spirit, that would separate island from island, county from county, one portion of the British
empire from the other. Two eminent prelates, raised to the bench of bishops in EnglMid, are natives, not of
Great Britain, but of Barbados. Suppose the narrow feeling had been nourished of Barbados for the Barba-
dians, could these prelates ever have attained their high dignity ?"

JAMAICA
The idea of making Jamaica an English colony seems to have been started about
that period when, from our increasing settlements on the American Continent, the
want of convenient harbours among the West India Islands began to be felt. (Cal.
S. P., Col. S. 1613).
The project was revived at intervals, but as is well known, the immediate cause
of our obtaining possession of the Island of Springs, was the failure of the expedition
against Hispaniola.
On the capture of the former island (May loth, 1655), by Penn and Venables,
about fourteen hundred of the inhabitants took refuge in the almost inaccessible
fastnesses of its mountains, while a few of the Negro and Portuguese population
submitted to the conquerors.
Although the commanders were subjected to censure for their conduct in other
particulars, the capture of Jamaica was a source of pride to the Lord Protector, who
addressed himself with energy to its colonization, for which purpose immigrants were
invited from all the other English settlements, while the officers and soldiers of the
force which had taken possession of the island received, shortly afterwards, allotments
of land on a species of military tenure, a practice observable in many patents even so
late as the year 1743.*
While Barbadoes had from the first been so exclusively British that at one time
the Island legislature even passed a law adverse to Irishmen, the English in Jamaica
seem at once to have fraternized with the races already there, and to have sedulously
invited the influx of strangers from all parts. The mother country provided adminis-
trative talent, and the energy, aroused amongst their cadets by the decay of good
troubled times at home, houses during those. The Jewish settlers brought their
proverbial talents into its commercial interests ; and to the Spaniard was perhaps due
much of the social style of the people. There was another element of prosperity in
the frequent visits of Buccaneers, who called to dispose of their plunder on the
wharfs of Port Royal, and whose personal gallantry and quasi-crusade against Spain
were no mean recommendations. Moreover, many of them were gentlemen by birth,
and in every way fitted to mingle with the higher class of residents.
* A useful and ecouomical system of defence might be organized in this and the other islands, by granting
temporarily small allotments of waste land (strategically distributed) to pensioned soldiers and their white
offspring, renewable periodically, and under conditions which would develop the resources of these colonies,
check continental propagandism, and relieve the mother country of a serious burden in time of war.

Hither came likewise many of the unfortunate victims of the Darien intrigue, and
introduced a strong and useful Scotch element.
Still the island felt the want of skilful agriculturists, and although it had
received at the outset every encouragement, it required the steady diligence of the
acclimatised Barbadian to bring its great estates into that working order which resulted
in such colossal fortunes in the following century.
Sir Charles Lyttleton convened the first Legislative Assembly of thirty repre-
sentatives ; who formed, so to speak, the nucleus of the local aristocracy (1664—75).
Of the French invasions of 169 1 and 1702 there is little to be said ; while the
history of the Maroon war, which lasted thirty-seven years, can only be brought
within the scope of these introductory remarks as the field where the warlike reputa-
tion of the militia leaders was tried, and, notwithstanding their frequent reverses, well
sustained.
Earthquakes, servile revolts, and terrible epidemics followed each other at com-
paratively short intervals, and are sometimes briefly noticed on the tombstones of the
early settlers. Many of these inscriptions are quaint, but the majority are in ob-
jectionable taste — a fault rather of the period than of the place, and introduced from
England, where, during the eighteenth century, a bombastic style of epitaph was
usual. There are, however, many magnificent marble sepulchral monuments in
Jamaica, from the chisels of the first sculptors of Europe, and which, in discussing the
whole collectively, are sufficient to redeem the faults of some others. A few remarks
on the parishes of Jamaica may here be necessary.
In the time of Sir Thomas Modyford (1664) there were seven parishes, namely,
St. Catherine, St. John, Port Royal, Clarendon, St. David, St. Andrew, and
St. Thomas, but there was only one church — the present Cathedral of Spanish Town.
It is true that about the time when Colonel Edward D'Oyley received his commission
as Governor, from Charles II. in 1661, or soon afterwards, the island was divided into
twelve districts, which, according to Long, included the subsequent parishes, in addition
to those already mentioned, of St. George, St. Mary, St. Anne, St. James, and St.
Elizabeth ; and this number has been further increased by the addition of Vere,
Portland, St. Thomas ye Vale, Metcalf, Kingston, Manchester, Westmoreland, Hanover,
St. Dorothy, and Trelawney.
St. Thomas in the Vale and St. Dorothy were constituted parishes in 1675 ; the
former was originally a part of St. Catherine. St. Dorothy separated from Clarendon,
in 1675.
Westmoreland was separated from St. Elizabeth, in 1703, and Hanover, from the
former, in 1723.
Trelawney separated from St. James in 1770 ; Portland was taken from St.
George, and St. Thomas in the East, in 1723.
Manchester was formed out of portions of St. Elizabeth, Clarendon and Vere, in 18 14.
Metcalfe was severed from St. George and St. Mary, in 1841.
Vere was separated from Clarendon, in 1673.
JAMAICA. 3
The Parishes were thus constituted : —
Between 1661-4 — St. Catherine, St. John, Port Royal, Clarendon, St. David, St.
Andrew, St. Thomas in the East.
1665. St. George, St, Mary, St. Ann, St. James, St. Elizabeth.
1673. Vere.
1675. St. Thomas ye Vale, St. Dorothy.
When the division of St. James's was first contemplated, in 1733, it was proposed
to name the new subdivision Brunswick, but on the third reading, the bill was lost,
and it was called Trelawney, after Sir W. Trelawney, the governor from 1767 to 1772.
The Duke of Portland was appointed Governor of Jamaica, 9th September, 1721 ;
arrived 22nd December, 1772 ; and died in Spanish Town, 4th July, 1726 — hence the
name of the parish.
Metcalfe was so named after the eminent and liberal-minded governor of that
name.
Manchester received the name of the ducal Governor.
In allusion to the patron saint of its discoverer Columbus, in 1494, the emblem*
of St. James, from whom Jamaica takes its name (although by a curious phonetic
coincidence it was previously known by its Indian name Xaymaca, isle of Springs) has,
along with the arms of Jamaica,-f- been adopted in the Parochial Seals of the island.
By an act passed in 1789, burying in Churches was prohibited, and a penalty of
;£"50o imposed on any Rector permitting it ; but two local Bills dispensing with that
act, were specially passed in the case of the Earl and Countess of Effingham, who
were the last so interred, in Jamaica ; hence, at the present day, the few additions to
the monuments within the Church, and, as it were an abstract of inscription on the
grave stone without.
Besides the Cemeteries of the Church of England, there are, of course, many
others, which go on increasing with the progress of dissent and sectarianism, but these
are comparatively modern, and therefore scarcely come within the scope of the present
undertaking; at the same time a few such collections have been preserved, and will, at
any rate, afford a curious contrast in nomenclature, inasmuch as they contain chiefly
the epitaphs of the blacks, who, since the era of Emancipation have not been back-
ward in seeking to flatter "the dull cold ear of death!"
* The Emblem of St. James are a pilgrim's staff and a gourd bottle — hence the seal of the Churchwardens of
Jamaica bears according to the Local Act, J Vic. cap. 39 — " Argent — a palmer's staff erect, depending from its
rest, by a leathern thong, a gourd bottle, ppr. On a border gules five Pine Apples Or, Sigill : ^delium Sancti

The double Gourd bottles of the Chinese and Japannese, so frequently represented in their works of art, are
called by them, also, pilgrim bottles, and may be observed attached to the girdles of the Fusiyama excursionists,
t The inscription on the Great Seal of Jamaica bearing these Arms is —
"ECCE ALIUM RAMOS PORREXIT IN ORBEM
NEC STIRILIS EST CRUX."
Bridges says, " This Seal was designed by the Archbishop of Canterbury." At that time (1662) the Metropolitan
See was filled by William Juxon, who, when Bishop of London, attended Charles I. on the scaffold.
4 JAMAICA.
In giving a short account of the various religious denominations, I cannot do
better than quote the words of a gentleman, whose acquaintance with the subject entitles
him to be considered an authority.
"It is now (1865) two hundred and ten years ago, since the island of Jamaica passed
into the hands of the English nation. One hundred and sixty-four years before this it
was possessed by the Spaniards. At three hundred and seventy-two years from this
present year, it was the home of the aboriginal Indians. The latter are exterminated,*
and we do not recognize any of their descendants occupying the homes of their
fathers."
"The Spaniards were the first Europeans who possessed these islands. They
failed to Christianize them ; and destroyed the people. Scarce more than two hundred
years back, the English took Jamaica, and drove out the Spaniards. Now, in addition
to the Spaniards, there were Portuguese settlers here, but they were Jews, and not
Christians. When the Spanish Inquisition drove the Jews, as well as the Moors out
of Spain, the Jews found an asylum in Portugal. The family of Columbus, the dis-
coverer of America, had received this island as a sovereign possession."
" His son, Diego, was created Marquis of St. Jago de la Vega. On the grand daugh-
ter of Columbus marrying into the house of Braganza, (the family that now occupies
the Throne of Portugal,) the Jews from Portugal came to Jamaica in numbers.
Though the English drove out the Spaniards from the colony [on its capture], they
suffered the Portugals, as they were called, to remain. These were the Jewish settlers,
whose families are perpetuated to this day, in their descendants— the Dasilvas and
Soarezes, the Cordozos, the Belisarios, and Belinfantes, the Nunezes, the Fonsecas, the
Guttereces, the Da Cordovas, and a hundred such names. They became the first
traders and merchants of the English Colony, and owe to their precedence, as a
people holding to a revealed faith, the preponderance of social and political influence
they possess at this day, as Magistrates, as Members of the Legislature, and as mem-
bers of learned professions."
"The first introduction of the Jews into Jamaica, is thus recorded by Sir Wm.
Beeston. ' On the 31st March, 1663, H. M. Ship the " Great Guest," Captain Bernard,
Commander, arrived from London, and brought six Jews (with a rich cargo), who

pretended they came to discover a gold mine known to them in the Spaniard's Govern .
ment, but concealed for fear it might bring grievances on a place so weakly manned, as
Jamaica was, in the Spaniard's time ; but this was basely a pretence, for their design
was only to insinuate themselves into the country, for the sake of trade, and was
managed by Sir John Davidson, who sent them with Mr. Watson, a German, who
managed all.' "
The Jews, for a long time, were not taxed liked other residents, but were obliged
to pay an annual tribute, which the government of Sir T. Lynch assessed at £7SO per
annum, besides five per cent on their rents.
The oldest inscribed Jewish monument is that of Leah Gedaleah : —
" The earliest missionary teachers here, under the English, were the Independants
that came with the army of Venables, in 1655. They were the first stipended ministers,
and when they were unstipended, by the operation of the Act of Uniformity, they became
the first Christian teachers, supported by voluntary contributions. Their numbers were
augmented by the imported Nonconformists, who were not emigrants to Jamaica, but
shipped off" to be sold for slaves to the planters."
After these came hither the Huguenots — French Protestants, who were driven
out of France, on account of their Protestant faith, at the Revocation of the Edict of
Nantes. Many of them, were accepted as stipended ministers, and became the early
rectors of parishes.*
The Moravians, under the auspices of the families of Barham and Foster, fol-
lowed, about the year 1765.
These were followed by the Baptists, and other sects.
Besides the public cemeteries, there were other places of sepulture ; but, " when
we consider that many monuments have doubtless been destroyed by earthquake and
hurricane, particularly at the times when Port Royal and Savanna-la-Mar were sub-
merged — that some tombs have been thrown down by wanton violence, and others
mutilated, or lost in the fires, alterations, or desecrations of the buildings that con-
tained them — we ought not to be surprised at the comparative rarity of monuments of
the seventeenth century. No doubt, many of these exist, in the depths of im-
penetrable ' bush,' or jungle, never again to meet the eye ; but there are also others
on private estates, which are, I am told, well known, although I have not been able to
obtain any accurate description of them."
On the estate called*!' Greenwich," for instance, and likewise at Spitzbergen, and
Dublin Castle (the latter in the Port Royal mountains), are some old tombs. Such
names are often apt to put the genealogist on a wrong scent, but they are at times
correct guides ; and by even so faint a light, we are sometimes enabled to trace
family back to the registers of some remote parish church at home.
" Parnassus," " Bellevue," " Golden Grove," " Running Gut " (probably a corrup-
tion, by some seafaring man, of Harangtitta, a branch of the Ganges), " Romsey,"
" Arcadia," Lacovia, Luana, are amongst the names of old estates ; while it is not alto-

gether unworthy of note, in connection with one of the old stories of the island, that
the celebrated buccaneer Governor of Jamaica, Sir Henry Morgan, lived on an estate
near Spanish Town, which was called *Laurence field.

the town, and partially concealed by cashaws, gigantic cacti, and mangrove-trees,
have been broken into and plundered, the lead of the coffins stolen, and the empty
* In a letter from Sir S. Watson to the Committee of Plantations, 27 Oct., 1689, speaking of the depreda-
tions of freebooters on the coasts of Jamaica, the writer says : — " Major Lawrence, with a ship and pirago, and
about 200 men, the last month, touched at Mantega (Montego) Bay, on the north side of this island, did no harm
then, but gave out that he would sail up to Petit Goave, a French settlement upon Hispaniola, and procure a com-
mission from the governor, wherewith he will return with greater force, and plimder all the north side, killing
man, woman, and child, which has so affrighted the inhabitants of Jthese parts, they have sent away their wives and
children to Port Royal."
Lawrence and Tovmeley were two buccaneer captains, commanding in the fleet of Sir H. Morgan.
The Earl of Inchiquin, in a letter to the same committee, 6 July, 1690, says of the Calapatch, and some
small vessels, which had been sent to the Camanas for turtle, ' ' They were there found by Lawrence, the great
pirate of Petit Goave, who bore down upon the Calapatch, and engaged him. * *" It concluded that Lawrence
has taken her.
For further notices of the name Lawrence in these parts, vide Appendix.
When, and where, the piratical brotherhood first settled as planters in Jamaica, cannot with accuracy be de-
termined, prior to the proclamation of George I., dated 5th September, 1717, when he promised and declared that
each and all of the pirates who should submit before the 5th September, 1 7 18, should have the royal pardon for
piracies committed.
The adventurers who entered the fraternity of freebooters in the time of Lawrence,* were influenced by
reasons for their lawlessness different from those which existed amongst the earlier buccant^rs.t
Their act was hostility to the Spaniard, because the government of Spain, having made all trading within
their declared lines of empire unlawful, put it down as piracy; but, after the restoration of Charles II., and the
disputed succession to the British throne on the abdication of |ames , enabled Louis XIV. to resort to his avowed
and decided warfare, as a partizan of James against William and Mary, it gave an abiding salvo to the con-
sciences of English desperadoes, (similar to those under the belligerent Federals and Confederates, in the
piratical Alabamas, Georgias, and Floridas lately sweeping the high seas, ) and gentlemen like Lawrence did not
hesitate to become adventurers. Such men yielded in acquiescence, when the king's proclamation, on the succes-
sion of the Hanoverian line, assured a settlement of all differences, by the suppression of the Scotch rebellion of
1715. Those that held out, on the chances of continued disorder in England, were such runagates as Blackbeard
(Teach of Spanish Town), Rackham, and the petty rascals distinguished as Piccaroons.
The later history of the freebooters assumes a different aspect from that of the legitimate (so to speak) Buc-
caniers, and belongs rather to the home, than the foreign department.
At the present day, an islet and reef on the coast of Jamaica bear the name of Rackham ; and on the former
may be noticed the site of the gibbet where perished the last of the Piccaroons.
There was in the possession of a late President of the Executive Committee, a deed of his maternal ancestor,
Claver Tayler, a member of "the fraternity," dated in 1655, at Cabo Bonito, in Westmoreland (parish), the year
of the capture of the island by Penn and Venables. Claver Tayler was a grandson of Tayler, one of the pilgrim
fathers of the "Mayflower," and perhaps a settler from among the crew. His location was Rhode Island.
The Taylers (probably through their previous common adventures) formed* family alhances with the Lawrences.
There exists a MS. account of European families in Jamaica, compiled by a member of the Hinds' family.
My informant had not seen it himself, but had no doubt of its existence.
The Honorable Alexander Bravo (Auditor-General's office), of a Portuguese family, is said to possess much
valuable information as to the rise of the older Jewish famihes in Jamaica, which, it may be observed, have de-
veloped no small amount of ability amongst their members. J Amongst the earliest of the converts from Judaism
were the Vidals, of Spanish Town, and the Israels, of St. Dorothy.

vault left for the lugubrious picnics of the " dangerous classes/' whose broken bottles,
mixed up with human bones, bear witness to the revelries by which these solemn
scenes have been desecrated.
No doubt the social vagabond of these parts sees little to reverence in such monu-
ments. His own remains maybe hastily consigned to the deep, or disposed of by the
local authorities.
" And in the next generation let his name be clean put out." '' Root out the
memorial of them from off the earth."
These, and many similar expressions in Scripture, show the estimation in which
records of the dead were held ; and that it was no derogation from spiritual hopes, or
any evidence of pride and vanity in the living, to be solicitous of such mementoes.
I have endeavoured to curtail as much as possible the conventional eulogies of
these epitaphs, most of which contrast unfavourably with the pathetic simplicity of
one, which recalls those of the early Christians at Rome.
"LYTTLETON, D.D., SU^E IN VICINIA SEPULT^E FILIOLUS OB. 1 662."
A suspicion also rests, in many instances, on the heraldry of some of the more re-
cent monuments, but this is a question apart from the collection.
There are two inscriptions which perhaps require special notice in these remarks,
the one published by Sir Hans Sloane* is thus described as then ''still existing, at
Sevilla D'Oro, a few miles from St. Ann's Bay (Jamaica), ^nd where, it is said, many
Spanish mortuary memorials still remain concealed by the encroaching turf : —
* Sir Hans Sloane mentions in his work on Jamaica (published in 1725, but written from notes made in 1688,
while he was physician to the Governor, the Duke of Albemarle), a number of little incidents and names of per-
sons residing in that island, which are, in connection with the present work, not altogether uninteresting.
He alludes to his own account of the destruction of Port Royal, published in " Philosophical Transactions,"
No. 209, p. 77.
His description of the asthmatic Sir Francis Watson and his plethoric "lady" is graphic. "The Lady
Watson, aged 50, and very fat." Sir Francis Watson, aged 55, " wheezing and asthma." Sir Henry Morgan is
depicted in 1688, when he was about 45 years of age, zs, "lean, sallow coloured," his eyes a little yellowish, and
belly a little setting out or prominent — Mrs. Banett, aged 45, as of a spare body — Dr. Cooper, aged 45, of a
yellowish swarthy complexion. "
" Major Thomas Ballard is aged 35," is said to be " much given to extravant drinking," that he is "plethoric
and of sanguine complexion. Mrs. Aylmer, a lean woman of 35.
Amongst other names of residents, he mentions D , an English physician who lived at Guatemala, and
who had been taken prisoner by the Spaniards ; Captain Hemmings, living near Seville ; Captain Harrison, a
planter in Liguanea ; Colonel Ballard; Mr. Barnes, a carpenter living at Guanaboa; Mr. Rowe, in Spanish
Town ; one Captain Gough ; Colonel Crew, Captain Groves, Captain Powell, Mr. Rhadish, Mr. Lane, a child of
Colonel FuUer, Mr. Anthony Gamble, a cook; Colonel Walker, Mr. Rayney, Colonel Needham, Mrs. Pain,
Colonel Ryves, Mr. Halstead, Mrs. Cope, Mr. Molines, John Parker, a lusty fellow ; Roger Flower, a baker ;
Rev. Mr. I^nning, Mr. Wm. Kay, Dr. Rose, Stephen Legs, a wheelwright ; Rob. Nichols, Mrs. Barrett, Mrs.
Duke, Geo. Thrieve, a bricklayer ; Harris, a joiner, &c.
On his way from St. Ann's to Orange River, Sir Hans Sloane returned from the North side of the island, by
a road on the ridge of hills called Archer's Ridge, near the Orange River, probably alluding to a place so called
after a certain John Archer, who received various grants of land in the time of Charles II., and who, one is strongly
disposed to believe, is the person mentioned by Sir John Archer, judge of the Common Pleas, in his unpublished
Diary, as his son by his first wife.

" There were two coats of arms lay by not set up ; a ducal one, and that of a
Count, I suppose belonging to Columbus, his family proprietors of the Island."
(D. of Varaguas.)
" Over the door " (of the old Spanish church at Sevilla) ..." was our Saviour's
head with a crown of thorns, between two angels ; on the right side a small round
figure of some saint with a knife stuck into his head ; on the left a Virgin Mary or
Madonna, her arm tied in three places, Spanish fashion. Over the gate, under a coat
of arms, this inscription " (in Roman capitals) —
" ' PETRUS. MARTIR. AB. ANGLERIA. ITALUS. CIVIS. MEDIOLANEN. PROTHON.
APOS. HUIVS. INSULE. ABBAS. SENATUS. INDICI CONSILIARIUS. LIGNEAM. PRIUS.

" The words are entire except Mediolanensis, which I supplied because this Peter
Martir, a famous man, wrote himself of Milan."
The other is the spurious epitaph, written by the historian, Edwards, and in-
scribed on a piece of ordnance set up as a monument near Martha Brae.* As it has
been the source of much local error, it is here given —
" STRANGER ! — ERE THOU PASS, CONTEMPLATE THIS CANON! — NOR REGARDLESS

Many of the monumental inscriptions recorded in the following pages have ceased
to exist, even since the compiler noted them nine years ago. Others, such as slabs,
which once occupied an honourable place, within the walls of the church, have from
time to time been cast forth into the church-yard, and could no longer be recognized.
In my task of restoration, I have been assisted by the " Spanish Town Church Notes,
&c.," of the late Mr. Roby, whose work, however, I was not aware of when first I made
my collection. To it, also, many of the purely local annotations are due.
In the parish of St. Andrew's are some of the oldest cemeteries in Jamaica ; but it
so happens, that not always the oldest consecrated ground contains the oldest existing

mortuary remains. So rapidly does nature in that warm climate, and rich soil, mask
the evidence of mortality, that even now tombs not dating a hundred years back, are
comparatively rare, concealed as they are in many instances under the turf, as at Half-
Way-Tree,* or enveloped in an impenetrable net-work of interlacing and often prickly
plants.
Again, although Kingston only rose on the fall of Port Royal, yet so effectually
have the sands of the Palisades swept over the tombs on that long and mournful,
though beautiful, spit of land which enclosed the harbour, that while the former is
comparatively rich in these remains, few are to be met with at the latter, and these
few have for the most part been despoiled of their tablets for the sake of the value of
the marble.
The compiler trusts that his labours as a pioneer in a comparatively new field
may be taken up by some one with better opportunities, who, from this starting-point,
might undertake to show the connection between these remote abodes, and the parent
homes in England — and, entering into the domestic life of those early emigrants, un-
fold their schemes, trace their steps to local power and affluence, and, gradually com-
mencing with individuals, proceed to communities, and then, overtaking those writers
who have already ably written the political history of the West Indies, move onwards
with them, in showing the course of declining and reviving prosperity in the present
century.f
Retracing his steps homewards, such an author would find in the records of the
State Paper Office, Diocesan Registries, and archives of the great Guilds of London,
&c., many of those lost links which are still wanting in several instances to connect
the colonial families, with those of the political exiles of the most troublous period of
our modern national history.
* It is said that the foundations of an old Spanish chapel still exist in Half- Way-Tree Churchyard, and that
underneath the present turf there are many Spanish monumental slabs.

PARISH OF ST. CATHERINE.
THE CATHEDRAL.
'The cathedral church of St. Catherine stands in the south-east part of St. Jago de la
Vega,* more commonly called Spanish Town, and occupies the site of the
Spanish church of the Red Cross, which, together with an abbey, and another church,
called the White Cross, was destroyed, at the capture of the town by Venables, in
May, 1655.
On the outside of the west end of the cathedral tower, over the door, and under a
pointed window, is this inscription, on a white marble tablet :
" D. O. M.
" This Church Dedicated to y^ Service of Almighty God was thrown downe by
ye dreadfull Hurricane of August ye 28th Anno Domini MDCCXII and was by ye
Divine Assistance, through ye Piety and at ye expense of ye Parishioners, more beau-
tifully and substantially rebuilt upon its old foundation in ye thirteenth year of ye

* St, James of the Plains, so called from the patron saint of Spain, and its champaign situation. Long and
Edwards agree in the probable correctness of the tradition, which ascribes its foundation to Diego, son of Christo-
pher Coltimbus, about 1523, on the decay of New Seville, the former capital of the island, near the present village
of St. Ann's Bay. Lewis, eldest son of Diego, was created Duke de Veragua, with the second title of Marquess
de la Vega, derived from this town. — Edwards' West Indies.

Esq., of Basing Park. For an account of the ancient family of Archdeckne, vide '
'Bz.xiks' Baronia Anglica Concentrata, and Journals of the Kilkenny Archceolo^ical Society.
Mr. Archdeckne was returned M.A. for this parish so early as 17 18.
The city of Kilkenny appears, as well as Galway, to have had its own "ten
tribes," thus recapitulated —
* By indenture, dated 22nd March, 1765, Dr. Gregory conveyed a house and land in Spanish Town to Mr.
Edward Aldred, surgeon, upon trust for the Hon. Thomas Fearon, Chief-Justice, the Hon. William Wynter, and
the Rev. Samuel Griffith, rector of the parish, and their successors, "for and towards the maintenance and sup-
port of poor persons in or from any part of the said island, and in and for putting poor boys and poor girls appren-
tices in the said island, and for giving portions in marriage with any poor girls in or from any part of the said
island." But in the year 1792, the House having fallen into decay, an Act was passed (33 Geo. III. t. 14) vesting
the messuage and land, in the Hon. William Jackson, Chief-Justice, the Hon. William Mitchell, Custos, and the
Rev. Robert Stanton Woodham, rector, for the purpose of sale, and for investment of the remaining proceeds and
the interest therefrom to the charitable purposes before mentioned.
Of the subscribers to this tablet wire Richard Welch, Chief-Justice, and William Patrick Browne, Custos.
It is somewhat remarkable that of the numerous rectors of this parish there is not to be found a single memorial
in the church or churchyard.

" Archdekin, Archer, Cowley, Langton, Ley,
Knaresborough, Lawless, Ragget, Rothe and Shee.''
Of these, " Archdekin " was of more note in the county than in the city.
According to Banks (Baronia Anglica Concentratd), the male line of Thomas le
Archdekne (summoned to parliament, 14 Edw. II.) expired in the person of his grand-
son, Warine, who married Elizabeth, daughter of John Talbot, of Richard's Castle.

TiriLLiAM Beeston, " Gent," who had obtained large grants of land in Liguanea
from Lord Windsor in 1662, was returned a member for "Cagua" (the present
Port-Royal), in the first Assembly of the island, 20th Jan., 1663-4. He was four times
elected Speaker of the House, viz., 9th April, 1677 ! 4th September, 1677 ; 3rd Sep-
tember, 1678, and 19th August, 1679, having been each time returned for Port-Royal.
— Journals. He was distinguished in that office, by his resistance to the attempt of the
Governor, the Earl of Carlisle, to enforce " Poynings law " (of Ireland) on the island ;
and his successful vindication of the privileges of the Assembly is fully detailed in the
histories of Long, Edwards, and Bridges. On the 9th of March, 1692-3, having been
knighted by William HI., he arrived at Port-Royal with the commission of Lieut.-
Governor of the island. In this situation he repelled a formidable invasion from St.
Domingo, under Du Casse, who, after some predatory attacks about Port-Morant,
landed 1500 men in Carlisle-Bay, but was compelled to retreat to his ships, with a loss
of 700 men, after several encounters with the militia of the island, in July, 1694. In
1 70 1 Sir William was appointed Governor, which office he held about one year, when
he was superseded by Major-General Selwyn.

the Council, where, resisting the Arbitrary measures of Christopher (Monk) 2d Duke
of Albemarle, he was displaced by that Governor, but restored, on th6 accession of
William and Mary, Feb. 22, 1688-9. On the death of the Governor, William (O'Brien)
2d Earl of Inchiquin, Jan. 16, 1691, the Government devolved upon the President of the
Council, John White, who was killed at Port-Royal, in the earthquake which destroyed
that place, June 7, 1692 ; when Bourden succeeded to the presidency of the Council,
and, as President, to the chief command of the Island. In the latter he was super-
seded by Sir William Beeston, who arrived at Port Royal as Lieut.-Governor, on
March 9, 1692-3.

Qn the death of Governor Major-General Selwyn, on April 5th, 1702, when the
Legislature was sitting, Colonel Beckford, who had a dormant commission of
MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS. 27
old date, caused hfmself to be proclaimed Lieutenant-Governor. In his speech to the
Assembly he ^aid, " I have gone through most of the offices of this island, though with
no great applause, yet without complaint," and Bridges adds, "He carried on the
business in a manner which redeemed the pledge he had given." He was succeeded
in the office of Lieutenant-Governor by Lieutenant-General Thomas Handasyde, the
same year. The cause of his death is thus graphically described by Bridges. " During
a warm debate in the Assembly, on June 8, 171 1, on the right of adjournment for a
longer period than de die in diem, Peter Beckford, the Speaker (son of the President),
repeatedly called to order, and was at length compelled to enforce it by adjournment.
But irritation had gone so far that, when he rose to quit the chair, the Members drew
their swords and held him there while the obnoxious questions in debate were put and
carried. The doors were barred ; the uproar was alarming ; and the Speaker's father
heard the disturbance in the Council-Chamber. He recognized the voice of his son
crying aloud for help, and rushed into the Governor's apartment. Thomas Han-
dasyde seized his sword, ordered the sentinels to follow him, forced the door of the
Court-House, and dissolved the Assembly in the Queen's name. But the fray was
fatal to the elder Beckford ; in his agitation his foot slipped, and he was precipitated
down the staircase, and the effects were deadly on his aged frame. His personal pro-
perty amounted to ;£'478,opo, and his real estate to as much more !"
The second Peter Beckford, son and heir of the first, was elected Member of
Assembly for Port Royal in 1704, and in the next Assembly, 1705, was chosen for
three parishes, St. John, Westmoreland, and St. Elizabeth, but made his election for the
last. He continued to serve as a Member in every Assembly of the island until his
death — in the earlier Assemblies generally for St. Elizabeth, in the latter for St. Cathe-
rine. As Member for the former parish he was five times chosen Speaker, viz., 29th
December, 1707, when he was also returned for three parishes; January 4, 1708-9;
nth April, 171 1; 26th November, 1713 ; and 17th September, 1716. He was also
Comptroller of his Majesty's Customs in this island. On the 3rd of February, 1730,
he gave " for a school and poor house-keepers " in this parish .£'2000. He married
Bathshua, daughter of Julines Herring, Esq., of this island, and in the " Gentleman's
Magazine" for December, 173S, he is said to have died worth ;£'300,ooo.
Besides the " Peter Beckford, Esq., junior," who was M.A. for Westmoreland in
1728, the Speaker left a daughter, Elizabeth, wife of the second Earl of Effingham, and
mother of the Governor of this island, and also a son, William, the celebrated Lord
Mayor and M.P. for the City of London, who, in his second mayoralty made the
memorable reply to George IH., on May 23, 1770, which the citizens thought so worthy
of commemoration as to inscribe it on a most magnificent monument in their Guild-
hall. Medals were struck on the occasion, having on their obverse the head of " WIL-
LIAM Beckford, Esq., Lord Mayor of London," in a large wig, with the civic robe
and chain. On the reverse a female figure, seated on a pile of books, one of which is
opened, and inscribed " MAGNA Charta," her right hand holding " the balance," and
her left a staff, with the cap of liberty thereon ; motto, " True to his Trust." On

the exergue, " 1770." He married Maria, daughter and co-heir of the Honourable
George Hamilton, second surviving son of James, sixth Earl of Abercorn, by whom
he had issue William Beckford, Esq., author of " Vathek " (which he wrote and pub-
h'shed originally in French, and afterwards translated into English), and proprietor of
Fonthill. In right of his mother, who was descended in a direct line from James,
second Lord Hamilton, by Mary Stuart, his wife, eldest daughter of James H. of
Scotland, Mr. Beckford bore, under grant of the Earl Marshal, in addition to his
paternal coat (Per pale gules and azure, on a chevron argent, between three martlets or,
an eagle displayed sable), on a bordure or, a double treasure flory counter flory,
gules, as in the arms of Scotland. William Beckf&rd, of Fonthill, had by his wife
(daughter of the Earl. of Aboyne) a daughter, Susanna Euphemia, who married the
lOth Duke of Hamilton, and was grandmother of the present Duke.
His cousin, William Beckford, Esq., formerly of Somerly, in Suffolk, was the gen-
tleman to whom Brydone addressed his very amusing " Tour in Sicily and Malta,"
and was himself the author of " Remarks on the Negroes in Jamaica," i vol., 8vo., 1788,
and "A Descriptive Account of Jamaica," 2 vols., 8vo., 1790. Another of this family
was author of "Thoughts upon Hare and Fox Hunting."

URING the illness of Samuel Williams Haughton, Member for Hanover, the Speaker
of the House, Mr. Blake, was twice elected pro tempore. He was re-elected for West-
moreland in the Assembly of 23'rd March, 1790, and on the death of Mr. Haughton,
(by a fall from his horse in August, 1793,) Mr. Blake was unanimously chosen Speaker,
22nd October, 1793. He was again elected for Westmoreland, and again unanimously
chosen Speaker on Oct. 28th, 1796. He was succeeded in that high office by Donald
Campbell, Esq., Member for St. George, who was elected 2Sth July, ijc^T .—Journals
of House of Assembly.
In 1755 we find the will of Nicholas Blake, of Jamaica, and in it mention made
of his brother Benjamin, and his son Nicholas Allen, Blake, &c.
In 1766 is recorded the will of Samuel Blake, in which occur the names of his
sons and daughters— Joseph, William, Samuel, Bonella, and Margaret.
The will of Nicholas Allen Blake, the nephew of Nicholas as above, is dated
' July 16, 1789, and contains bequests to his son Matthew Gregory Blake, his brother
William, and his cousins the Burkes of Loughrea, in Ireland.
A few years earlier, in the will of Benjamin William Blake (1785), his nieces are
named Jane Gregory and Helen Haughton, his brother-in-law Samuel WiUiams
Haughton, and his brothers William and Nicholas Allen Blake, &c.
The first entry of this name in the parish registers of Jamaica is in 167 1, and in
1717 is recorded the birth of Benjamin, the son of Benjamin and Blake. In
1743 is recorded the marriage of Alexander Blake* and Hagar Williams (probably
a daughter of Williams of Carowena) ; and still later, in the Hodges family the bap-
tism of an Alexander Blake Hodges, the nephew of Robert Francklyn Hodges, who
married a daughter of the Hon. Hugh Lewis (Ch. Justice).
Robert Francklyn Hodges, younger, of Maxfield, was so named after a Mr.
Francklyn, who married his aunt, Margaret Blake.f
In so extensive a family as that of Blake, it is natural to suppose that even un-
common surnames will be frequently adopted instead of ordinary Christian names, to
distinguish individuals ; but when we find a double combination of this description, we
attach more importance to the coincidence {?).
A reference to the pedigree of the Aliens of Blackwell Grange, and a comparison
of the names of Blake and Burke therein, suggests some connection v/ith the family of
Blake in Jamaica ; and if so, of necessity it appears with that of Barbados, in the
* It may not be unworthy of attention, that in no other but the Taunton Blake
pedigree, is the name Alexander Blake to be found. Colonel Williams, of Carowena,
married Elizabeth, daughter of Colonel John Guthrie. On his decease, she married
(1735) Colonel Richard Haughton. The above (Hagar) was, however, not the
daughter of Ms Colonel Williams.

seventeenth century, and of another family of the name in Ireland, one of whose mem-
bers, Nicholas Blake, |s described as of Barbados at the period to which we allude.
On referring, however, to the registers of Andover, we find that Nicholas Blake of
that town was also of Barbados ; while in the will of the wife of Nicholas Blake of
Barbados (1663), we discover that her husband was also of " Bishop's Mead, near Cra-
ford, Kent."
Leaving, however, such branches of this family out of the question, and turning
to the pedigree of Benjamin, Nicholas, and Alexander, three of the younger brothers
of the celebrated Admiral Blake,* we find very strong presumptive evidence of its
being represented in Jamaica ; and this is probable, moreover, from the interest which
Cromwell took in his valuable insular acquisition ; and the date on the tomb of Alex-
ander Blake, at Eaton Socbn, 1690, brings the record of the Taunton family close upon
modern times.
It is probable that there were two families of Blake in Jamaica, which became
united in one, about the commencement of the eighteenth century.
The will of Elizabeth Blake, wife of Nicholas Blake, merchant, of London,
entered (Barbados) Oct. 26, 1663, -states : — "I bequeath unto my son Nicholas my
land called Bishop's Mead, in the parish of Craford, county of Kent, and bought of
Wm. Borman, and to his half-brother my son John Wilsop, my cousins John Blake and
Nicholas Prideaux, &c. Witnesses: Nicholas Prideaux, H. Turvile, Thomas Morti-
mer, and Hercules Tervile" (sic). 1
(Vide also the Baronetage ; and Pedigrees of Blake at the Heralds' College and
Brit. Mus., " Notes and Queries," &c. Very extensive private collections of Blake
records exist.)
The name is probably identical with that of Black, and therefore has had various
" centres of origin ;" although, so far as we know, its earliest appearance was in
Hampshire and Wilts, whence all the other recorded branches are assumed to have
been derived.
In Hardiman's " History of Galway," (Dublin, 1820,) we find the following re-
marks : — " This family is of British extraction, and although the name seems derived
from the Saxon Blac, a colour ; yet Debrett, in his ' Baronetage,' says, ' they are tra-
ditionally descended irova. Ap Lake, ovi& of the Knights of King Arthur s Round
Table ' (!). Nothing ought to surprise us after such an announcement.
" In 165 1 Government caused a map of this county to be made, and on the third
sheet are, amongst others, the Arms of Blake, and also, with other inscriptions, the
words (' Marilandise, Carolinse, Verginia;, et Jamaicce^ being on the second sheet
with the name Marline) on the third sheet : ' Bermude, Barbude, Montserrat, et
Sancti Christophore.' "
* It may be incidentally noticed that the late representative of this family, the Rev. H. J. C. Blake (de-
scended from Humphrey Ekke), possesstd the s-v\ord, and an interesting original poitrait of the gi'eat Admiral.
The Admiral died in August, 1657, and his epitaph is given by Pettigrevi',

The peculiar baptismal name (probably in compliment to some Spanish family)
oi Bonel/a, seems to have been peculiar to certain families intermarried in Jamaica.
Bonella Hodges, mother to (Pennant) first Lord Penrhyn, (see " Peerage,") gave her
name to the Blakes, Haughtons, Vassalls, and Archers. Through other ramifications
it passed into the families of Scarlett, &c.

Major-General Bannister appears to have been President of the Council of
Jamaica in 1671, his name being first on the list of that body, as given by Sir Thomas
Lynch, on August 20 ; and he is the first named of the Council to John Lord Vaughan,
appointed by Charles IL, April 3, 1674. The 51st Article of the Instructions to that
Noblenian, dated 3rd December, 1674, says, " Whereas we are now providing for the
removal of such of our subjects from Surinam, as shall desire to transport themselves
from thence under our obedience, in pursuance of the articles made at the surrender of
that colony, our pleasure is, that for the encouragement of such of our said subjects, as
shall be willing to remove from Surinam, you receive and use with kindness as many
of these as come to Jamaica, and take care that they be furnished with provisions
and other necessaries at a moderate rate, until they shall be able to get or procure
them themselves, and that you proportion out to them twice as much land as used to
be granted to other planters coming thither." Accordingly, in 1675, about i2CO per-
sons from Surinam arrived in Jamaica, and were located in that district in the parish
of St. Elizabeth, which still retains the name of " The Surinam Quarters." General
Bannister was murdered by a " Mr. Burford, who was tried and hanged for it." —

For an elaborate and interesting genealogy of this family, ence.
see the Herald and Genealogist, from which periodical the following is ex-
tracted : —
" William Gary of this family had a daughter, who was married to Dr. William
Helyar, and was buried in Exeter Gathedral, July, 1607. Dr. Helyar was a divine of
some eminence, and claimed (I presume through his wife) kinship with Queen Eliza-
beth. At any rate he was her Majesty's chaplain, and probably through her, if not
directly from her, received his other important preferments. He seems to have been
a great pluralist in an age of pluralism, and enjoyed a prebendal stall both at Exeter
and Ghester, the archdeaconry of Barnstaple, the treasurership of Ghelsea College,
and various livings in Devon and Somerset. He died in 1645, and was, I think, buried
in Exeter Gathedral ; but at East Goker, in Somersetshire, he founded an almshouse
and built a handsome residence, Goker Gourt, which his descendants have occupied in
succession to the present day. The archdeacon's eldest son, Henry Helyar, formed
a second connection with the Gary family. According to the Visitation of Somerset,
1672 (confirmed by Gole's Escheats), he married in 1621, Ghristian, daughter of
William Gary of Glovelly, co. Devon, and by her had several children, amongst whom
6
38 JAMAICA.
was Gary Helyar, who migrated as a merchant to Jamaica, and there died, in 1672,
aged 39. His monument is in the church of Spanish Town in that island, and in the
same church is another to Colonel Theodore Gary, ' one of the sons of Gockington
House, CO. Devon, brother to Sir Henry Gary, a judge of the Grand Court.' He died
in 1683, aged 63, and was therefore contemporary with Gary Helyar ; and, it is, not
unreasonable to conjecture, was related to him. There can be little doubt that
Colonel Theodore Gary was one of the younger sons of George Gary of Gockington,
of whom Prince says, that his ' youngest sons became soldiers of fortune, ctnd died, I
think, beyond the seas, without issue.' This last statement is perhaps open to
queston, as the MS. I have quoted records the marriage, in 1676, of Colonel Theodore
Gary with Dorothy Wale ; and, in 1679, of Penelope Gary with Thomas Edward.
"The immediate cause of the rapid rise of the Gary family is to be found in its
close connection with Queen Elizabeth. William Gary (second son of Thomas Gary
of Chilton Foliot) married Mary Boleyne, sister of Queen Anne, and aunt of Queen
Elizabeth. From this marriage descended the Earls of Dover and Monmouth and the
Barons Hunsdon ; while from Sir John Gary, William's elder brother, came the
Viscounts Falkland, whose fame is well preserved in the annals of our country."

'Phe Colepeper, or Culpeper family, of great antiquity in Kent, was, before the time
of Edward III., divided into two branches, the claim to precedence between which
has never been decided.
The above was a descendant of Walter, son of Sir John Culpeper, from whom
came " the Barons Colepeper, the Colepepers of Wiggshall and Folkington, and the
Colepepers of HoUingborn, &c." (Ext. Baronetage.)
This family was eminent in the seventeenth century.

A NTHONY COLLYER was one of the first Representatives of Jamaica, being returned
to the Assembly of 20th January, 1663-4, as Member for " Seven Plantations."
He was probably called up to the Council soon afterwards, as we do not find his
name in the Returns of any future Assembly, and in 1671 Sir Thomas Lynch mentions
him as one whom he found a Member of the Council on his arrival in this island. He
was also "constituted and appointed" one of the Council by Charles H., in his Com-
mission to the Governor John Lord Vaughan, dated April '3, 1674.
Anthony CoUyer bequeathed one thousand acres to Samuel Long. Collyer's
widow, EHzabeth, married secondly. Sir Francis Watson, Knt. (Major-General, Member
of Congress, and President of Council), who administered the Government from the
death of the Duke of Albemarle in 1688, until the arrival of the Earl of Inchiquin
in 1690.
Sir Francis was buried in the chancel of Spanish Town Church, 19th August,
1 69 1, and Lady W. on i8th April, 1698.
Probably of the same family was "Giles Collier, of Bristol, clothier," who pre-
sented Joseph Collier to the living of Steple, Longford, Wilts, 1607.

Udmund Ducke was Attorney-General of Jamaica in 1671. He was probably a
near relative of Dr. Duck, Chancellor of London, whom the Privy Council de-
sired, in 1637, to settle some disputes among the inhabitants of, and others connected
with, the Island of St. Christopher.
There was a Sir John Duck created a Baronet in 1687, whose rise to fortune
deserves a place in the romance of the Baronetage, He had a brother named Robert,
and several nieces, but no issue.
Henry Cunningham, Esq., of Balquhan, Stirlingshire, was M.P. for that county
several times. He was appointed Governor of Jamaica in 1734, but did not assume
office before Dec. 22, 1735.
Henry Cunningham held the government only three months, and fell by " an act
of his own intemperance at a public entertainment." He was a Scotchman, and
favourite of Sir Robert Walpole, whom he had rescued from the mob, during the
Excise Riots. (" Roby." Gentleman's Magazine. " Bridge's Annals.")

* Dr. Henry Barham, author of " Hortus Americanus," preceded Sir Hans Sloane, and was, therefore, a gatherer
of information as early as 1680. He had married into the family of "Foster," of St. Elizabeth's Parish, and
through it acquired a considerable fortune. It was the Foster family that introduced the _ Moravian Mission, to
which sect Dr. H. Barham belonged. Through the Fosters he was connected with the " Stevenson" family. He
retired to England in 1740, and settled at Staines, near Egham, where he died. He bequeathed his property to
the youngest son of Mrs. Barham, whom he had married when the widow of Thomas Foster. Joseph Foster was
the father of Joseph Foster Barham, M.P., about 1793, and who married Lady Caroline, daughter of the then

'The family of Long, of Longville, Jamaica, Hampton Lodge, Surrey, and originally
from Wilts, is descended from John Longe, of Netheravon, in the latter county,
who died in 1630. Samuel, the grandson of John, having subsequently participated in
the conquest of Jamaica by Penn and Venables, became a person of great considera-
tion in that Island, where his great-grandson, Edward Long, Esq., filled the office of
Chief Justice of the Admiralty Court.

CiR Thomas, by his own sole> authority, twice proclaimed war against the Spaniards,
but in so doing, and in his encouragement of the Buccaneers, he was countenanced
by Charles II., who empowered him "to commission whatever persons he thought

tear,' Sp that his majesty entered' very seriously into the privateering business, and
held this reputable partnership for some years." — Appendix to Long, vol. i.
Sir Thomas Modyford, like his brother, Sir James Modyford, Bart., was also
Governor of Jamaica. He was created a baronet March ist, 1663-4; married Eliza-

and last Baronet, and on -the death of the latter she married Charles Long, Esq., of
Jamaica. .
Sir Thomas, the first Baronet, was one who moved with the times, and, although a
subscriber to the loyal defiance sent to the summons of Sir George Ayscue, we find him
the following year assuring President John Bradshaw that his master's counsels tend
to the good of the English nation (S. P. O. Cal, 1652), and that the "people of Bar-
badoes would delight to have the same form of government as- England;" and decla;res
that the powerful regicide had " sweetly captivated " his mind by his " unexpected
civilities."
He seems to have had strong prejudices against the Irish ; and was a Member of
the Council of Barbados, in 1660, which decided that no Irishman was to be com-
mander, or sharer of any boat belonging to the Island. He was afterwards Governor
of Barbados.*

MARY TAAFE. (Neither date nor remark.)*
C. Y.
Che was probably the wife of Michael Taafe. The Taafifes of Jamaica were ap-
parently allied to the noble house of the same name in Ireland. However the
local tradition may have originated, there is still enough to be gleaned from the wills
of the family, in both islands, to justify a respect for it.
* Towards the close Of the seventeenth century and earlier part of the eighteenth, Ireland was in so unsettled
a state, that there are few parochial registers there, which may be referred to, for the confirmation of pedigrees ;
and the remarkable vicissitudes of the family in question, would make such difficulties insurmountable, were it not
for the comparative rarity of the name itself forming a useful clue. The earliest will on record in Jamaica of this
family, is that of Arthur Taafe, dated in 1750, and entered Jan. 30, 1752. In.it. the testator leaves legacies to
his father Christopher and his mother Mary, of the kingdom of Ireland, "if still alive." Arthur Taafe also men-
tions his brother, the rector of St. Thomas-in-the-Vale, Henry Taafe, and his nephew Henry Gordon. The ques-
tion is, who was this Christopher Taafe ? A Christopher Taaffe, of Mansfields Town, co. Louth, was attainted in
1691 at Ardee. He was an adherent of James II., in whose own regiment of infantry he was a lieutenant. " I
find," says the author of a valuable work on a kindred subject,* "the chattel property of a Christopher TaaflFe "
(probably the above lieutenant), " sold in 1725, who, dying in Dublin in 1736, made a will, which is recorded there,
from which I think that he is identical with the Christopher named in the will of Arthur Taafe of Jamaica. The
latter had sons, Arthur and Henry, and I am inclined to think, that he had also a son George, who passed into
* " King James II. 's Army List annotated." It is not shown how the author came by the knowledge of Christopher, the attainted
officer, having left two sons, for there is no mention in his will either of wife or children.

Major-General Williamson was sworn into office as Lieut.-Governor, and an-
nounced in General Orders as Commander-in-Chief, in November, 1790, during
Connaught and settled there.'" It seems, however, more probable that he was the Christopher, son of George
Taaffe (Corballa, co. Meath) mentioned in the will of Stephen Taaffe, 1730. The next will is that of Henry Taafe
(entered May 30, 1 771). He was rector of St. Thomas-in-the-Vale, Jamaica. His sons are named: I. Arthur
Rodger, 2. John Annistead, 3. Richard Brownrigg, 4. Thomas Wheeler. He appoints John Gordon the guardian
of his sons. Anne, the sister of Henry Taaffe, was married to Mr. Gordon, t said to have been originally of
Enniskillen, and who was father of the Henry Gordon mentioned in the will of Arthur Taafe, his uncle. Henry
Taafe names, among other bequests, "his gold watch and tortoise-shell box set in gold." In the record of his ma-
triculation, in 1740, at Trinity College, Dublin, Henry is described as being then seventeen years of age, and the son
of Christopher Taaffe. — " Generosus in Com. Derriae." In the will of William Gordon, of St. Elizabeth, Jamaica.
(Nov. 27, 1759), there is a bequest to Susanna, daughter of Harry Gordon, of St. James's ; and in the will of
Henry Gordon, of St. James's, Jamaica, dated Jan. 18, 1788, we find references to his (mother's, Anne Taafe)
claims to real and personal estate in Ireland. The next Taafe will, is that of Michael Taafe (dated May 19, 1761),
of St. James's, Jamaica, in which the testator mentions his mother Anne residing at Dromisken, co. Louth.
N.B. — Theobald Taafe, Earl of Carlingford, had a grant of land, in i668, in the parish or townland of Dromisken,
CO. Louth. In 1762 is entered the will (dated in 1754) of Susanna Taafe, "wife of Theobald Ta3.ie, of Hanover
Square, in the parish of St. George, Middlesex, England, . . and youngest daughter of Henry Lowe."X
* Her death announced in the Gentleman's Magazine, Dec, I794i vol. Ixiv. p. 1150.
* He bequeaths his sword and pistols to his relative The^obald Taaffe (1736).
t He was twice married ; his first wife is said to have been Mary Jones, a lady of the Ranelagh family. But there is another lady
of this name, and the widow, about 1720, of Penn, who had inherited his father, William Penn's, Irish estate. There was also a connec-
tion by marriage between the Taaffes of Smermor, and the founder of Pennsylvania's family, while again the above-mentioned Henry
Gordon-married a very near relative of the Penns.— See "History of the Taafife Family," Vienna, 1856; Notes and Queries, iZTi-±:

the Government of the Earl of Effingham. On that nobleman's decease, 19th Nov.,
1 79 1, he assumed the Government of the Island, in virtue of the dormant commission
before mentioned. He had been previously joined by his wife, who arrived in Jamaica,
from London, on Oct. 31, 1791. He continued in the government until the arrival of
Alexander (Lindsay), 6th Earl of Balcarras, at Port Royal, on April 15, 179S, and on
the 2 1 St of the same month, he was invested by the hands of the earl, his successor, as
Commissioner, with the ribbon and badge of the Order of the Bath. On May 9, in
the same year, he left Jamaica for Port-au-Prince, having been appointed Governor-
General and Commander-in-Chief of such parts of St. Domingo as then were, or here-
after might be, under the Government of Great Britain. Sir Adam died at Avesbury
House, CO. Wilts, Oct. 21, 1798, from the effects of a fall. He was Colonel of the
73rd Regiment.
Mrs. Williamson (for the Knighthood of the Bath was not conferred on her
husband till after her death) was buried in this church, and an Act (as in the cases of

TlyTAjOR Barley's death is thus related in the "Continuation to Edwards' West
Indies:" "Fifty-four Chamba and Koromantyn negroes, who had been purchased
to serve in the Colonial corps, broke out into mutiny at Fort Augusta, while under
drill, and massacred two of their officers, Major Darley and Lieutenant Ellis,
who rode up to them to inquire into the cause of the tumult. They were speedily
chastised for their disobedience and barbarity. Fifteen of them were killed on the
spot, five were wounded, and seven were afterwards executed. The reason which they
assigned for their conduct was, that they were too often drilled, and that they were
desirous of returning to their native country." The date is incorrectly stated as
August instead of May, 1808, and the Report of the Committee of Assembly says
"that the mutiny was not by any means confined to the recruits, but that many of
the old soldiers, if not openly and directly concerned in it, did persuade and excite
the troops to mutiny." The " Chronology " of the " Jamaica Almanack " is more
correct in its detail : " 1808, May 27. Recruits of the 2nd" West India Raiment
mutinied on parade : Lieutenant and Adjutant Ellis was killed, and Major Darley
died of the wounds he received. Nine of the mutineers were killed ; one died of
wounds ; fifteen were tried by a court-martial, and found guilty ; seven of them were
shot." The reader, desirous of further particulars, may consult the 12th vol. Journals
of House of Assembly, where the examination of many witnesses is given at length. The
"Violation of the privileges of the Assembly, in the case of Major-General Carmichael,
commanding his Majesty's forces in this island," (who had directed the officers under
his command not "to answer any questions that the Legislative Body of this island
might put upon the subject of a late mutiny, or upon the government or discipline of

re-publication in 1810 of "The Privileges of Jamaica vindicated," in the case of John
Olyphant, Esq., a Member of Assembly.
The major was brother to Alderman Darley, of Dublin, of Orange notoriety. —

'Phis remarkable inscription is copied from a note in Edwards' "West Indies," and
in the text of Bridges' " Annals." Both writers have incorrectly transcribed the
date of Galdy's death, stating it to have occurred in 1736 instead of 1739. Mr. Galdy
was an aiHuent merchant of Port Royal, Member of Assembly for St. Mary, 29th
December, 1707 ; for Port Royal, 4th January, 1708-9 ; for St. George, 17th April,>
1711 ; for Port Royal, 17th September, 1716, and for St. Anne, August i, 1718,
besides sitting in other Assemblies for which there are no returns. — Journals ; Roby.
Mr. Galdy probably exaggerated the circumstances of his escape, especially as
there was no one left to contradict his statement.

SON OF WILLIAM BAKER OF BAYFORDBURY, IN THE COUNTY OF HERTFORD, BY
SOPHIA, THIRD DAUGHTER OF JOHN CONYERS, LATE OF COPPED HALL IN THE
COUNTY OF ESSEX. A YOUTH WHOSE RARE ENDOWMENTS BY NATURE, IMPROVED
BY EDUCATION, AND CONFIRMED BY THE EXAMPLE AND INSTRUCTION OF HIS
COMMANDER, COMMODORE JOHN THOMAS DUCKWORTH, GAVE THE FAIREST PROMISE
TO HIS COUNTRY (HAD IT PLEASED THE ALMIGHTY TO SPARE HIS LIFE), OF A
DISTINGUISHED CHRISTIAN HERO, AND TRUELY VALUABLE MAN, INITIATED IN
THE PROFESSION OF HIS CHOICE. WITH THESE ADVANTAGES, HE SERVED ON
BOARD THE ORION, IN THE MEMORABLE ACTION OF THE 3d OF JUNE 1794, AND
SHARED, WITH SINGULAR MERIT, IN THE GLORIES OF THAT IMPORTANT DAY.
WITH EQUAL GALLANTRY, BUT LESS PROPITIOUS FORTUNE, .UNDER THE SAME
RESPECTABLE OFFICER, ON THE 2ist OF MARCH 1 796, HE WAS ENGAGED IN THE
ATTACK MADE BY THE LEVIATHAN, AND AFRICA, ON THE FORTS OF LEOGANE, IN
THE ISLAND OF ST DOMINGO, BUT YIELDING ALAS ! TO THE FATIGUES OF THAT
DISASTROUS SERVICE, SUCCEEDED BY THE PREVAILING MALADY OF THE CLIMATE,
HE CLOSED A BRILLIANT CAREER OF HONOUR AND VIRTUE, IN THE I^^ YEAR
OF HIS AGE.
IF HARD INDEED HIS LOT, AND PREMATURE HIS FALL, DEPRIVED IN THAT
AWEFUL MOMENT OF THE CONSOLING CARE OF HIS DEAREST RELATIVES, YET
HAPPY AT LEAST IN THIS, THAT WITH FACULTIES UNIMPAIRED, AND HOPEFUL OF
THE BLISS WHICH AWAITED HIM, HE BREATHED HIS LAST IN THE ARMS OF HIS
PROTECTOR AND FRIEND, AND WAS ATTENDED TO THE GRAVE, BY THE UNFEIGNED
TEARS, AND HEARTFELT SIGHS OF THE COMPANIONS OF HIS NAVAL FORTUNES—
THE ZEALOUS ADMIRERS OF HIS EXCELLENCE AND CHARACTER.

UNDERNEATH THIS MARBLE — ARE INTER'D THE REMAINS OF — THE HONOUR-
ABLE JAMES LAWRENCE— OF FAIRFIELD IN THE PARISH OF ST. JAMES, ESQ. — WHO
DEPARTED THIS LIFE — IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD — 1756— IN THE 47th YEAR
OF HIS AGE — HE WAS BURIED THERE l6'li JUNE.
PoLONEL James Lawrence was Gustos Rotulorum of St. James's parish. By his
wife Mary, daughter of Colonel Richard James, of Hanover (the first child born
of English parents in Jamaica after its conquest), he had a numerous family.
Richard James Lawrence, his eldest son, married Mary, fourth daughter of
Thomas Hall, of Kirkpatrick, a Member for the parish of Westmoreland in 1752. He
died in London, Nov. 8, 1830, aged eighty- five years. Mr. R. J. Lawrence had five
sons, viz., I. James ; 2. George ; 3. Charles (who had issue : i. G. H. Lawrence, 2. Rev.
C. W. Lawrence, 3, Major-General A. Lawrence) ; 4. H^nry ; 5. Frederick Augustus,
Captain, and Gentleman of the P. Chamber to King George IV., when regent.
His eldest son was the late (Sir) James Lawrence, Knight of Malta, and author
of several works, one of which, on the " Nobility of the British Gentry," is well known.
George, the second son, was the late proprietor of Cowsfield House, near Salisbury.*
" Lineage: — Henry Lawrence, President of the Council of State, under CBomwell, was of St. Ives, in Hun-
tingdonshire, and came of an ancient family, a long account of which is to be found in the Gentleman's Magazine
(181 5 and 1829), Sir Egerton Brydge's edition of Milton, and other works. He married Amy, only daughter and
heiress of Sir Edward Peyton, of Isleham {vide the " Extinct Baronetage "), and died in 1664. One of his daugh-
ters married an Earl of Barrymore, while John — one, it is believed, of his seven sons — -emigrated to Barbados, with
John Bradshaw, nephew of the regicide, and ultimately removed to Jamaica, about 1675. His (J. L.'s) will is dated
May loth, 1690. By his wife Jane, daughter of — . Collins, and relict of Richard Dunn, of Cabrete, he had three
sons, of whom.the eldest, John, married Susanna Petgrave, and by her, had six sons and three daughters. His'
third son, James Lawrence, of Fairfield, was the ancestor, as already stated, of the late (Sir) James Lavnrence.
I. The eldest daughter of John Lawrence and Susanna Petgrave was named Susanna. She married Lawrence
Lawrence, * of a New England family (of his family there are records elsewhere), and had, with other children,
Rachel, who married Henry Gordon, t and was mother of Anne Gordon, who, by her husband Alexander Edgar
(buried in Edinburgh in 1820), had a numerous issue, and who is mentioned in the curious genealogical vriSS. of her
* His will reporded in Jamaica, 1753. N.B.— The author is only responsible for the above lineage from iligo.
t His will recorded in Jamaica, 1789. (Vide "Taaffe Notes.") Alexander Edgar was the son of Alexander Edgar of Auchingra-
mont, by his wife Margaret, daughter of James Edgar. His father (bom^698),was the brother of Peter Edgar, of Bridgelands, Peebles
(father-in-law of Sir H. Raebum, the celebrated artist). Their mother's maiden name was PlisciUa Handasyde. (For a notice of tlie
latter peculiar surname vide Sinclair's " Survey, Parish of Hutton, Berwickshire.")

Lawrence, married Philip Auglin, and had a daughter, Elizabeth, who married, in 1765, Robert Scarlett,
and was the mother of James Scarlett, created Baron Abinger. This very extensive family of Lawrence is
necessarily connected with numerous other families,* more or less well known, and the records substantiating
the descent of its various branches have been carefully preserved in Jamaica and elsewhere, but are of too volumi-
nous a character to be enlarged upon here. However, a good account of them is to be found in part iii. of Roby's
" History of the Parish of St. James, "f who has, however, omitted several descents.

John Benbow was born at Shrewsbury, in 1650. - His gallantry in an action with
Barbary pirates, gained for him, through the recommendation of the King of
Spain, a commission in the British navy, shortly after which, he was entrusted with the
command of a fleet*
In 1702, during an engagement with the French Admiral, Du ■ Casse, he was
struck in the leg by a chain-shot. Of this wound he died, but not before he had
brought to justice the treacherous captains who had abandoned him in the fight.f

* It is known, however, that there was a family of this name, in the parishes of St. Elizabeth and St.
James, Jamaica, which came from the north of Ireland (Enniskillen), and which was probably derived from the
house of Earlston. There are several curious wills of persons of this name, recorded in Jamaica ; and others of
the usual description. William Gordon, of St. Elizabeth, leaves bequests to Susanna, daughter of Harry Gor-
don, of St. James. Robert Gordon (1768), then living in Flanders, bequeaths Lis real property, within the

diocese of Canterbury, and also in Jamaica, to his brothers John and William, and his daughters Susanna and
Rebecca. Thomas Gordon (entered 1748) mentions his wife Anne; his children Susanna, Anne, John, and
William; and appoints Dr. William Gordon, M.D., of Bristol, executor. Henry Gordon dated Jan. 18, 1788) :
this is what may be called a genealogical will, and shows the connection between the families of Gordon and
Lawrence. Alexander Gordon (dated June 8, 1750) mentions Charles Gordon, of Blelack, Aberdeenshire, and his
sister Helen, wife of Hugh Ross, of Fillus (?).* Charles Gordon (1755) mentions his brothers John of Edinburgh
and Thomas of Aberdeen, and his sisters Jane, Susanna, &c. James Gordon (1766) names his "brother Harry
Gordon in H.M.'s service." William Gordon (1766) styles his father Robert Gordon of Auchendolly. Robert
Gordon, in 1664, mentions his half-sister Catherine Nairn, wife of William Stewart, of Croft Barn, Glenlivet,
Banffshire. These are only a few of the Gordon wills in Jamaica. Among their estates, was one not far from
Kingston, called Gordonstown (where there is now a post-office), also Armagh, and St. Andrew's Hill.
* The Halls of Jamaica, were a reputed branch of the Halls of Greatford Hall, Lincolnshire, a family of great
antiquity and high consideration, who were themselves a scion of the Fitz Williams of Clixby, of the same lineage as
* Gordon of Blelack was an old family in Aberdeenshire. Alexander Gordon of Blelack married, Nov. 26, 1604, Katherine,
daughter of Gilbert Baird, of Auchmedden. — Vide " History of the Baird Family," by W. N. Fraser, Esq., of Tornaveen, a represen-

THE FIRST FOUR ARE FRAGMENTS ON THE CHURCH DOOR-STEPS.
TN front of the principal entrance by the north transept, is a large black marble slab,
worn by feet, and without an inscription. The story is, that it is " turned on its
face, to conceal the epitaph of an early rector of the parish, who was hanged, for coining
counterfeit doubloons in the vestry. It is said he was discovered, in consequence of
having issued one from his mint, before it was quite cold." The story is most improbable.

SPRING PATH CONSECRATED GROUND, KINGSTON.
" Cpring path," or " The Consecrated Ground," is one of the oldest graveyards
in the Parish of Kingston, and faces the railway station. Its appearance is
very remarkable,, for each tomb, being covered with a dense green mantle of a small
hardy plant — like a robust chickweed — the crabweed*, its general contour is pre-
served, although softened, so that the whole, chequered by the shadow of the light
foliage of the ca.shaw-tree, presents the appearance of groups of verdant little hil-
locks.

CiR N. Lawes was appointed Governor of Jamaica, and received the honour of
Knighthood in 1717. He was succeeded by the Duke of Portland in 1722, and
died in 173 1. He was an enterprising planter. Of his parentage little is known, and,
like many self-made men, he is somewhat reserved on the subject. In his will (i Aug.,
1730), he styles himself, "late of Isleworth, in Middlesex," and states that he "was
born in the year of our Lord, 1632, of honest and loyal parents, who suffered con-
siderably for their loyalty."
MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS.
241
Amongst his estates in Jamaica, may be enumerated Snowhill, Mount James,
Swallowfield, and Temple Hall*
He was five times married : — i. To Elizabeth Potter (St. Andrew's Register,
May 20, 1680) ; ~2. To Frances, daughter of Paul Godwyn Carter, son of Francis,
Bishop of Hereford (May 23, 1685) ; 3. To Elizabeth, daughter of Sir T. Modyford,
and widow of Col. S. Barry (July 2nd, 1693) ; 4. To Susanna Temple, by whom he
had two sons: — i. James (above), baptized 1697. Menl. of A. in 1721 — 2. Temple,
baptized Feb. 26, 1699 ; 5. Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Thos. Lawley (3d Bart), by
his wife, Catherine, daughter and co-heiress of Sir H. Winch, Bart., and widow of
Thos. Cotton, 'great-grandson of Paul Beilby, Lord Wenlock. — By this wife Sir N.
Lawes had a daughter, Maria, married in 1737, to Simon Luttrell, created Baron
Irnham, and, in 1785, Earl of Carhampton.
The following epitaph, on a slab in the church of Isleworth, further explains these
family connections : —
" In the name of God, Amen. — Here Heth the body of Susanna, late wife of —
Nicholas Lawes, Esq. She was 5* daur. of — Thomas Temple, of Franckton, in the
county of Warwick, Esq.
" She was first married to Samuel Bernard, — to whom she left one son, Thomas
Bernard, — now of the Liner Temple, Esquire ; — to the said Nicholas Lawes, two sons,
James — and Temple, whom God preserve. — She departed this life for a better the
20* — day of April, in the year of the Lord, 1707, — in the 47A year of her age."

'T'HE Bennetts (of Dorsetshire origin) were settled, soon after the capture of Ja-
maica, at Barbican, in Liguanea. The founders of the family appear to have
been Henry Bennet (will, 1666) and the Honble. George Bennett (will, 1678). The
latter was Member of Assembly for Kingston, and' colonel of militia, as were also
his son and grandson, of the same name.
An interesting narrative, concerning the assassination of a member of this family,
is given in the " Gentleman's Magazine," for May, 175 1. [See also Notes and Qiiei-ies,

"V /"IDE Burke's " Peerage," voce " Howard de Walden." The family of Ellis was
originally from Wrexham, county Denbigh, and it is asserted, in the Peerages
of Lodge, Burke, and De Brett, that John Ellis was a colonel in the army at the
taking of Jamaica, in 1655, and married Grace, sister of Wm. Nedham, Speaker of
Assembly. But these statements are incorrect, as there was no officer of that name
and rank in Venable's force. A John Ellis, captain in 1685, was Member of As-
sembly in 1688, and many years subsequently. He settled on the estate known as
" EUis' Caymanas,'' and was buried i^t Sept., 1706, being then, according to the Parish
Register of St. Catherine, a " maiger." It was his eldest son, John, who married
Elizabeth Grace Nedham. The son of the latter was Chief-Justice George Ellis, who
introduced the valuable Guinea grass into Jamaica.. Charles Rose Ellis, elder son of
the Chief-Justice, was created Baron Seaford 15* July, 1826, and died in 1845, when
his elder son, Charles Augustus (in right of his mother. Baroness Howard de Wal-
den), succeeded.
Lord Seaford's younger son, Augustus Frederick, married 25* June, 1828, a
daughter of Sir David Cunynghame, Bart., and died Lt.-Colonel of the 60* regiment,*
as above stated in his epitaph. — See Peerage, " Howard de Walden."

Altar Tomb.
'T'HIS is the common grave of two Officers, who fell by each other's hands, in a duel,
as some say ; but the real circumstances are these. The deceased, above com-
memorated, was forced into the duel and fell by the challenger's pistol. The latter,
however, being seized with remorse, committed suicide, whereupon both were interred
in the same grave. Beside this tomb is another without any tablet or inscription.
They are erected outside the ordinary cemetery, and in a secluded spot.

'The Church, in an architectural point of view, is very poor and inelegant ; and like
most of the older parish churches of Jamaica, is in the style so prevalent after
the time of Sir C. Wren, whose preference for classical models, in inferior copyists,
led to the general corruption of taste, which reached its culminating point during the
reign of George the Third.

rjN the death of the second Baronet, Sir S. R. B. Taylor, who died unm. i8th May,
1815, his extensive estates descended to his eldest sister, Anna Susanna, whose
husband, George Watson, Commissioner of Excise, assumed the name of Taylor, and
soon ran through his fortune. (See BURKE's " Dormant and Extinct Baronetage.")
" Simon Taylor," says Dr. Miller, " probably exercised greater influence in Jamaica,
and for a longer period than any other individual, not even excepting the Prices. His
father is said to have been a Scotchman, who came to Jamaica to follow his trade as a
carpenter, which he did with such effect, as to leave ;^20,ooo to each of his two sons.
Simon Taylor died at Port Royal, leaving behind him the greatest fortune which, per-
haps, any West Indian had ever accumulated. He was buried at his pen in Liguanea,
where his brother had been previously interred, but from a subsequent sale, it was
thought proper to remove the bodies afterwards to Lysons, in St. Thomas in the East.
This was done in not a very decent manner, on a common mule cart." — Memoir of
Lt. Gov. Morrison, in Kingston Chronicle newspaper.
There was another, and distinct, family of this name in Jamaica, descended from
one of the Pilgrim Fathers, and which intermarried with many well-known old families
in the island.

"VToT improbably a member of the family of Morris, of Keldgate Gate, Yorkshire ;
the elder branches of which, on the breaking out of the second American war,
lost their hereditary property in New England.
The founder of this family in the New World, appears to have been Captain
Lewis Morris, a servant of the Providence Island Company, in 1633.
In 1652, when Prince Rupert was threatening the British colonies, the Governor
of Barbadoes recommends to the Council of State the appointment to the command
of a squadron, to oppose him, " Colonel Lewis Morris, whose personal valour at Scilly
was taken notice of."

'Phis family appears to have been of Scottish origin — probably from Peffermyln,
near Edinburgh, of which Alexander Edgar was a subscriber to the Darien
scheme. On the failure of the latter several of those emigrants settled in Jamaica.
Amongst the refugees were— Colonel Blair^ Colonel Dowdell, who had served under
William III., at the Boyne, and Colonels Guthrie and Campbell, &c.

SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF JOHN HODGES, ESQ., WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE,
THE 27111 OF FEB., 1 787, AGED 53 YEARS.
M.
'T'HE name of Hodges is frequently met with in the earlier history of our West
India colonies.
In 1690, Anthony Hodges was Lieutenant-Governor of Montserrat ; and about
the same period, there was an Anthony Hodges, Judge of the Admiralty Court. The
name is found a:lso in connection with warlike expeditions from the Island of Nevis.
The Hodges' of Jamaica, appear to have descended from Francis Hodges, Secre-
tary of Nova Scotia, who became Treasurer of the former island in the time of
Charles II., where he may have acquired estates named Acadia, and Luana, in the
parish of St. Elizabeth. This gentleman v^as probably related to the Rev. Dr. Hodges,
Chaplain to the House of Lords, at the Restoration.
A writer in " Notes and Queries," seems to be of opinion, that the family in
question sprang from Sir Nathaniel Hodges, of Middlesex.
Of the same family was, probably, SirW. Hodges, created a Baronet in 1697, but
his line became extinct on the death of Sir Joseph Hodges, in 1722.
Nathaniel Hodges, an eminent physician, and son of Dr. Thomas Hodges, Dean
of Hereford, distinguished himself in his professional capacity, during the Great
Plague of London. He was author of a work intitled " Loimologia ;" but getting into
difficulties, he died in Ludgate prison, in 1684.
324 JAMAICA.
The will of Joseph Hodges (171 8, I. S. Off. Jamaica), of St. Elizabeth, tends to
throw some light on this subject. He mentions his sons Nathaniel and Joseph, and
his daughter Bonella — so named after her mother. The subsequent letters of admi-
nistration of Andreise Joseph Hodges, brother of Nathaniel Hodges, show that he
was then lately of Eaton, in Berks., of the Inner Temple, and of Lacovia plantation,
Jamaica. In this document (entered Sept. 22, 1733) is mentioned, among other rela-
tives, his cousin John Hodges, progenitor of Hodges of Maxfield, Member of Assembly
in 1795.*
There are many other wills of Hodges' and Blakes, bearing on the family connec-
tions, which are interesting in a genealogical point of view ; while the " Renunciation"
of John Hodges, of Maxfield (whose first wife was Anne Blake), of his executorship,
under the will of Richard Haughton James (1781), grandson of Samuel Williams
Haughton, by his wife, Margaret Bonella, daughter of William and Elizabeth Blake,
still further elucidates a connection of which present limits forbid a lengthier discus-
sion. This John Hodges was a cousin of Bonella Hodges, who married the father of
the first Lord Penrhyn ; his father. Captain John Hodges, having been the son of
Thomas Hodges, uncle of Joseph the father of Bonella.

TO THE MEMORY OF THE SEVEN BELOVED CHILDREN AND ONE GRANDCHILD
OF THE REVD. WM. ERASER, A.M., RECTOR OF THIS PARISH, AND ELIZABETH
LUCY, HIS WIFE. THIS WAS ERECTED BY HIM IN THE EIGHTIETH YEAR OF HIS
AGE, 1843.
'Phe Rev. William Eraser, Rector of Trelawney, second son of Francis Eraser, Es-
quire of Findrack, co. Aberdeen, was born at Findrack, Dec. 22<i, 1763, and died
at Falmouth, Jamaica, April i^t, 1844. He was educated at Aberdeen, and subse-
quently at Oxford. He married Elizabeth Lucy, daughter of .... James, of Ja-
maica. {See Notice of the family of James.)
The family of Findrack show a descent from Sir Alexr. Fraser of Durris, Lord
High Chamberlain of Scotland, in the reign of King Robert the Bruce. The Revd.
W. Eraser's mother was, Henrietta, daughter of William Baird of Auchmedden, Chief
of that name, and great grand-daughter of Lady Katherine Hay, daughter of George,
2d Earl of Kinnoull, through whom the family of Findrack represents the heirs of
line of George, 1st Earl of Kinnoull, and as such, the dormant Viscounty of Dup-
plin, of date 4th May, 1627. {See Burke's "Peerage," voce Kinnoull : "Landed
Gentry v. Fraser ;" and " An Account of the Family of Baird" — Edinb. 1856.)
* His son and heir, Robert Francklin Hodges, married a daughter of Chief Justice John Lewis. There
was a connection also with the Barretts and Moultons. C. J. John Lewis was a relative of M. G, Lewis.

Tt does not appear whether Dr. Ellis was of the old Jamaica family, said by Roby,
and others, to have been originally from Denbighshire, and which was founded by
Captain John Ellis, an officer in the expedition under Venables, in 1655, and who was
ancestor of the present Lord Howard de Walden, and Seaford.
There was also a Colonel Gershom, Gerthon, or Gershon Ely, or Elys. He repre-
sented the parishes of St. Mary, St. James, St. Thomas in the Vale, and St. Ann (in which
latter he died, in 1738) from 171 1 to 1737. He seems to have possessed much local
influence, and it is recorded that, at his marriage with Mary Willis [10 June, 1712],
"his Excellency my Lord Archibald Hamilton," was present.
These names, Ellis and Elys, may possibly have been one and the same family,
hence the introduction of this note.

Lewis, Memberof Assembly for the parishes of Westmoreland and St. Elizabeth, 1702-

who was buried 28th Oct., 1733, and was succeeded by his son Odoardo Lewis, bapt.
in 1732.

Gregory, had one son and four daughters.-f-
Matthew Lewis, the son, became Under Secretary of State for War, and married
a daughter of Sir T. Sewell, Knt., Master of the Rolls, &c., by whom he had two sons
and two daughters :— I. William, who died young; 2. Matthew Gregory Lewis, who
succeeded to the family estates, and was better known as the author of " The Monk."

BARBADOS.
BARBADOS.
'T^HERE are probably few of our colonies more carefully wzwrepresented, and conse-
quently less known, than those in the Caribbean Sea. For many years past, pub-
lic attention heis been so slightly directed to the West India Islands, that an apology
seems required when one introduces the subject. No good artist has as yet made
familiar to Northern eyes, the grandeur and marvellous beauty of those tropical
scenes, although, now and again, some thin volume about our neglected interests
slightly stirs the surface of popular attention, with " governmental theories," and " co-
lonial practice," — the "decay of the tvhite',' and the "growth and claims of the brown
man," &c.
But the West Indies, although they may have lost much of their political and
commercial importance, retain their historic interest, and offer to the genealogist, in-
terested in the seventeenth century, an almost totally unexplored field of investigation.
Their parish registers, wills, and monumental inscriptions,* would probably afford
much valuable information, on the subject of social and family history, during that
centurj', when, as is well known, men of birth and distinction left the mother country,
to avoid religious and political intolerance, or to repair their fortunes.-f-
A cursory glance at the " Peerage and Baronetage " will probably suffice to show,
that at least thirty hereditary titles have originated in these islands ; while the landed
gentry are largely recruited from the same locality, — facts the more remarkable, when
we consider the prejudices of the present generation.^
The parochial and other records of Barbados are especially rich in historical
names, and it is to be regretted that no arrangement has ever been made to have
copies of them (at any rate up to the year 1750) deposited in England, where they
would form a valuable addition to existing records, at the State Paper Office, and be
preserved against the recurrence of such destruction as overtook many of them, during
the hurricanes of Barbados ; and elsewhere, from the yet more insidious dangers of
the Vestry.
* A few of these were contributed by the author, to the " Gentleman's Magazine."
+ Macaulay.
X In 1661 the following Barbadian gentlemen were created Baronets, viz., John Colleton, James Modiford,
James Drax, Robert Danvers, Robert Hacket, John Yeamans, Timothy Thornhill, John Witham, Robert Legard,
John Worsum, John Rawdon, Edwyn Stede, and Willoughby Chamberlayne. [See " Baronetage."]
346 BARBADOS.
Of these islands, the most important are Jamaica and Barbados.
The former, even to the present day, has managed to retain its English tone to a
much greater extent than the others ; a peculiarity due possibly, in some measure, to
the attention which has invariably been bestowed on those institutions which are more
peculiarly characteristic of the mother country. The architecture of her churches is
assimilated to models familiar at home, and the quaint tower and belfry of St. James',
rising above clumps of leafy trees, are quite worthy of some old-fashioned rural parish
in one of our counties.
There is scarcely one of the eleven parishes* of Barbados, that does not contain,
at least a few, interesting fragments of the past ; at the same time, the greater num-
ber of monuments are of course to be found in the cathedral church of St. Michael, —
Christ Church is also remarkable for its monuments, — not indeed the present church,
but the old burial-ground, between it and the sea. St. John's is noted, as being the
burial-place of the supposed last of the Palaeologi ; the other parishes are more or
less interesting.
As nothing can be uninteresting, which is connected with the misfortune and wan-
derings of so illustrious a race as the Palaeologi, some digression may be permitted on
the present occasion, although the scope of this work renders it unnecessary, and in-
deed out of place, to discuss the opinions of the many able writers, who have treated
the subject in its many bearings, and especially with reference to the lineage and de-
scendants of Theodore PalcBologus, whose remarkable monumental inscription at Lan-
dulph, professes to give both :
Theodore, of Pesaro, was son of Camillo — son of Prosper — son of Theodore-
son of John — son of Thomas, youngest brother of Constantine XIII., the last reign-
ing sovereign of the Byzantine empire.
After many vicissitudes, this Prince came to En gland, in 1628, and was received
by the English minister — the celebrated Duke of Buckingham — as befitted his birth.f
Before this, however, Theodore appears to have been married to Eudoxia Com-
nena, by whom he had a daughter named Theodora, J [born at Scio, 6th July, 1594,
and married, October loth, 1614, at the Greek Church of SS. Peter and Paul, Naples,
to Prince Demetrius Rhodocanakis],
During his residence in England, Theodore Palaeologus had, by Mary Balls, § the
following issue : — i. Theodore, [buried in Westminster Abbey, in 1644!'] ; 2. John;
3. Ferdinand [the Barbadian] ; 4. Mary, [d. unm.J ; 5. Dorothy, [wife of William
Arundel].
The earlier writers on Barbados seem to have an indistinct idea of the pretensions

St. Joseph, St. Thomas.

§ Their marriage record has never bee^ found, but the fact of the marriage is generally accepted.
BARBADOS. IA7
of Ferdinand Palaeologus, but recent inquiries have thrown a considerable light on the
question of his origin.
Ferdinand Paljeologus appears to have settled in Barbados between 1628 and
164s, and to have become proprietor of a plantation in the parish of St. John, where,
between 1649 — 1669, he was surveyor of highways, &c. 1678 and 1680 have both
been assigned as the year in which he died, a discrepancy that ought certainly not to
exist. The late Sir J. Emerson Tennant has stated that Palaeologus is described " in
the register of his interment" as " Lieutenant Ferdinand Palseologus." But this is at
variance with the entry in the burial register of the Cathedral Parish of St. Michael
in the same island, (a transcript of an older one, of which nothing is known), wherein
the entry is made without either mihtary title or baptismal name ; and that this is
substantially the case, is evident from the fact, that earlier writers who were aware of
the burial register, have not mentioned the baptismal nzvae of the deceased.*
There is doubtless some explanation of these apparent discrepancies. Possibly
the errors of copyists, and the sanguine speculation of the Eaibadians themselves,
may have led to the inadvertent occurrence of oversights ; for on the whole, there
seems to be no doubt, that these accounts sustain the belief of the identification of
Ferdinand as the son of Theodore Pal^ologus of Pesaro and Landulph.
Amongst the ruins of the Parish Church of St. John, which was destroyed in
the hurricane of 1831, was discovered in the vault under the organ loft, the leaden
coffin of Ferdinand Palaeologus, in the position adopted by the Greek Church, which
is the reverse of others. It was opened on the 3rd of May, 1844, and in it was found
a skeleton of remarkable size, imbedded in quicklime — thus thowing, that although
Ferdinand may have accommodated himself to the circumstances of his position, he
had died in the faith of his own Church.-f-

t Will of F. Pal.«ologus.
" In the Name of God, Amen. — I .Ferdinand Palffiologus, of the parish of Saint John, being sick in bed j,
but in perfect memory, commit my soul into the hands of Almighty God, my most merciful Creator, and my body
to be interred in a Christian burial there to attend the joyful resurrection of the just to eternal hfe by Jesus Christ,
my most blessed Saviour and Redeemer. Imp. I give and bequeath unto my loving wife, Rebecca PalKoIogus,
the one half of my plantation, with all the profits thereof arising, during the term and time of her natural life.
Item. I give and bequeath unto my son Theodorus Palasologus, the other moiety of my plantation, with all profits,
stock, and goods thereunto belonging, which moiety is to be employed for his maintenance and education, together
with the increase of his estate, until he attains the age of 14 years, the other moiety given as aforesaid after the
death of ray wife, Rebecca Palaeologus, my will is, that her said moiety return, with all the profit, unto my son
Theodorus PaIa:ologus. Item. I give and bequeath unto my sister, Mary Palceologus, twenty shillings sterling. I give
and bequeath unto my sister Dorothy Arundel,X twenty shillings sterling. Item. I give and bequeath unto Ralph
Hassell my godson of Ralph Hassell, my black stone colt. Item. I give and bequeatli unto Edward Walrond,
son of Hem-y Walrond, Tun., one grey mare colt. And for executrix of this my last will and testament, I do con-
stitute and appoint my loving wife Rebecca Palaeologus. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and
seal, this 26 of September, in the year of our Lord, 1670.
"Ferdinand Paleologus (l.s.)
} On the tomb of Palaeologus, at Landulpli, occur the names of his children by Mary Balls, viz,, " Theodore, John, Ferdinando
Maria, and Dorothy." The latter was married in 1656 to Wjlliara Arundel. '
348 BARBADOS.
It is said, that during the last conflict for Grecian independence and deliverance
from the Turkish yoke, an application was made by the Provisional Greek Govern-
ment, assembled at Nauplia, to the authorities of Barbados, respecting any male
descendants of Ferdinand Palseologus, who might still exist, but it was ascertained
that there was none. This assertion, it may be added, has been denied. {See " Notes
and Queries.") The truth is, the mere name of Palceologus suffers, with others of Royal
origin, in this country, and is of no particular significance amongst the Greeks, many
of whom adopted it, propria motu, and appear to have brought it here, where its
rarity has attracted notice to many individuals, who, in consequence, have been
erroneously accredited with an Imperial origin.
The early landowners, or "planters," used to be particular in their funeral
arrangements ; - and most of the better families interred their dead in leaden coffins,
cased in cedar or mahogany.
Family vaults were also common. That of the Chase family, at Christ Church,
juSt mentioned, is the locality of a very remarkable (so-called) j^zr?V«rt/ phenomenon.*
The mausoleum of the Colepepper family, in a quiet recess on the brink of Hackle-
stone's Cliff, in the parish of St. John, is singularly picturesque, and commands one of
the most beautiful of sea views.
Many of these tombs have, from time to time, been broken up and rifled — particu-
larly those in private cemeteries. In Jamaica, more especially, where estates often lie
at an inconvenient distance from the parish church, there was always a private place of
sepulture, generally near the mansion, but screened by trees, where, even now, one
may frequently catch glimpses of old tombs, matted with ferns and a flowery under-
growth, among the deep shades of mango, wild tamarind, and pimento trees.
Jamaica, although, in some respects, as careful and imitative as her rival, was
always more or less deficient in arnour propre ; and her population having absorbed
the greater portion of the " roughs " then afloat in the Spanish waters, seems to have
offered few social inducements to the higher order of settlers to remain, after accom-
" Signed, sealed, and delivered, in the presence of Tobias Bridge, George Hammer, Thomas Kendall. And
upon further consideration it is my Will and Testament, that in case should happen, my son Theodoras Paleo-
logus should die before my wife, without issue, lawfully begotten by him, that then, my said wife shall have the
whole estate equally divided, as before mentioned, to her heirs and assigns for ever. As. witness my hand and
seal, this 2 day of October, 1670.

plishing the grand object of securing wealth, sufficient for the settling, or re-establish-
ing, of their families in England.
Sometimes, death overtook those prudent worthies, and the well-paid servants of
Government ; and there being no lack of means in the hands of the executors, the
island gradually became enriched with costly monuments. In many instances, par-
ticularly of later dates, the armorial sculptures on these monuments are not to be de-
pended on ; consequently, although the epitaphs are useful records, as regards dates
and names, they are too often illusory in respect of family descent. In annotating,
therefore, one ought not to forget that very excellent names* are common in the lists
of rebels of an inferior grade, sent from England, and sold to the loyal settlers.
The following pages comprise all the monumental inscriptions of Barbados, from
the earliest period, to the year 1750; after which date, it seemed unnecessary, with a few
exceptions, to pursue the task of copying ; the object being to secure the preservation
of the much effaced inscriptions of the preceding century.
These monumental inscriptions generally, have been carefully collected, down to
the above date, subsequent to which limit, they have been more or less abbreviated, as
they gradually lose the interest attached to antiquity, and acquire a complimentary
character, which, being quite conventional, ceases to answer any useful purpose.
A few extracts from the valuable collection of papers relating to Barbados, at
the State Paper Office, may tend to throw a light on some of the accompanying
Monumental Inscriptions.
There is a curious account of the order of march, from Fontabell to the " towne
of St. Michael's," on the 23rd April, 1685, "for proclaiming our Gratious King James
the Second." The regiments of foot were commanded and led as follows :
" I. Major Phillip • , Colonels Ricd. Elliot and Jno. Fryer (Frere.'')
" 2. Major Geo. Lillington and Colonel Thomas Holmes.
" 3. Major Abell Alleyne, Lt.-Col. Wm. Sandiford, and Col. Jno. Waterman.

In connection with Monmouth's Rebellion, we find, dated Nov. 25, 1665, an
" Invoice of the Western Rebells shipt from Weymouth," (for Barbados), " in which
occur some peculiar names, such as Gaich, Cumet, Mader, Follett, Jewell, Dolbeard,
Duck, Pine, Forcey, Estmond, Guppy, Bovell, Pester, CordeHon, Venner, Osborne, &c.
The invoice is signed by " George Penne."t
It was customary to sell such persons as slaves for ten years or longer.
There is also on record, about the same period, a receipt granted by Mr. John
Rosse, for one hundred prisoners, to be transported from Taunton. The latter were
persons in humble life, and yet (showing how deceptive are genealogies based on mere
nominal and local coincidences) we find among them Austin, Chamberlayne, Osborne,
Mountstephen, Bellamy, Pearce, Bennet, &c.
On March 25, 1685, there is the account of the sale of sixty-seven rebels, who
were delivered by Capt. Gardner, of "The Jamaica Merchant," to the following mas-
ters in Barbadoes, viz.. Colonel T. Colleton, Mr. Nicholas Prideaux, Mr. Abel Allen,
Mr. Edward Harlestone, Captain Thomas Morris, &c. Among the former were Wal-
ter Taaffe, Peaceful Knowles, &c.
The following is a specimen of the stj le of information connected with contem-
poraneous history. In the examination of Christianus Gardner (Barbados, Aug. 8,
1688), the witness states : —
"That about 8 months ago, being at the Coffee house in St. Michael's towne kept
by the widow Hales, with severall in company they talked of the tryal of Mr.
Cornish of London, amongst which one of the Company sayed, that one of the persons
summoned to be of the said Cornish's jury, desired to be excused, for that he had
had great dealings with the said Cornish, but the said Cornish desired he might be
one of the jury. The Attorney General thereupon declared that he ought not to
be of the jury, and that the king had liberty to except against him It was
also said by one of the Company, that one John Price summoned of the said Jury,
urged that he was on my Lord Russell's tryall."

'The founder of this family was Sir Nicholas Crispe, Knt., of London, great grand-
son of Ellis Crispe, Esq., of Marsefield, Gloucestershire, Alderman and Sheriff of
London in 1625.
Sir Nicholas had a son, Ellis, who, by his wife Anne, daughter of Sir G. Strode,
was father of Sir Nicholas Crispe of Hammersmith, who was created a Baronet in
1665. This latter gentleman was a merchant of vast fortune, and great consideration ;
he was a staunch Royalist, and advanced large sums to King Charles I. " All the
succours which the king had from beyond seas, came through his hands." He raised, at
his own expense, a regiment of horse, and on the failure of the Royal cause, retired to
France, but subsequently returned. Sir Nicholas died in 1665, and the baronetcy
continued in his family until the death of his great grandson Sir Charles Crispe, in
1740, when it became extinct.
In one of the Parish Registers of Barbados, the marriage is recorded (Dec. 8,
1643) of a Thomas Crispe, and Sarah Archer. There is also a bequest to his cousin,
J. Archer, in the will* of a T. Crispe, later on, in the same century, of " a ring with
this poesy of love — A S i s T C, so shall thee," i.e., As is now T. Crispe, so shalt
thou be.

26, is named, as one of the passengers on board the " Bonaventure," for St.
Christopher's. He appears to have been a native of Plympton, of which locality was
also his companion, Matthew Archer. The suggestion may be thrown out, that
John Frewin was son of Francis. It is quite possible that the latter may have been
a member of the Worcestershire family of the same name.

'Phere was an extensive and influential family of this name in Edinburgh, in the
seventeenth century, whereof was Sir Robert Milne, and Milne, the King's architect,
whose curious monument in the old Greyfriars' Churchyard still exists. The name
very frequently occurs throughout the records of the Scottish metropolis, wherein
David and Robert are the prevailing baptismal names. .
Sir Robert Milne had a numerous issue, and it is probable that the Barbadian
Miln (for the name is indifferently spelt with a _j/ or an i, and with or without the
final e) was one of his sons.
Of this family, there are monuments in the picturesque churchyard of Inverefek
— namely, of Admiral Sir David Milne, &c.
James Milne, Esq., of Trinity Grove, near Edinburgh, represents one branch of the
family ; while another has been distinguished in the naval service, and of which, is the
present Admiral Sir Alexr. Milne, G.C.B.

Richard ; he was, with Colonel S. Barwick, appointed a Commissioner to take oaths
in the Plantation. In 1673 he held no less than looo acres of land in Barbados.
By his first wife, Hester, he had issue, John, Richard, Margaret, and Elizabeth ; and
by his second, Thomas, Frances, and Anne wife of Capt. Hale. Henry Peers was a
member for St. George's in 1706 ; Speaker of Assembly in 1733; Lieutenant-General

'This distinguished family being well known to the public, a few remarks only are
necessary.
There was a Baronetcy conferred, in 1620, on Edward Frere, of Water Eyton,
Oxfordshire, but leaving no issue by his wife Mary, daughter of John Stafford, of
Blatherwick, it became extinct on his death, in 1630.
The Freres of Barbados came originally from Suffolk. Mary, daughter of John
Frere, who was Governor of Barbados in 1720, married Joseph Pilgrim, Chief Judge
of the Common Pleas, who died in 1734, left issue (the Rev.) John, of New Windsor,
Berks, who married Keturah, daughter of the Hon. James Bruce.
Government House in Barbados, is called " Pilgrim," after the family of the same
name ; and, about the middle of last century, a branch of the Barbadian family of
Archer settling in Jamaica, probably, so named one of their estates there, although
there were also Pilgrims in the latter island.

T* OMBS of the family of Archer of St. Lucy [and St. Philip] (destroyed, or displaced,
during the hurricane of 1831).
The following appeared in Notes and Queries, July nth, 1874 (abridged) : —
" My attention has. lately been drawn to the question of the origin of the Archer
family of Barbados in, the seventeenth century from having seen a work on this sur-
name. In this work frequent suggestions are thro wn out in favaur of the Worcester-
shire origin of this family. A careful analysis of the contents, and collation, with
other sources of information, will, I thinli, show that there were Archers in Barbados
from London, Suffolk, and Lincoln, but that Edward Archer, of St. Philip's and St.
Lucy's parish, — will proved 1693, — who died there in 1693, was none of these, but
was of a distinct and Worcestershire origin. I am well aware how little reliance can be
placed on family traditions, yet, to a certain extent, they possess some value as clues.
The descendants of this Edward Archer are still to be found, not only in Barbados,
but in Jamaica, f where two of his grandsons settled about 1753. In both branches of
the family, notwithstanding the lapse of time since their separation, the tradition still
exists that their English progenitors were Royalists, and of Umberslade descent ;
[and this, too, in face of the facts, that Sir John Archer of the De Boys, or Essex,
family was himself in Barbados, and that he had relatives in Jamaica, in the seven-
teenth century,] and they still treasure an heirloom transmitted from generation to
generation, which would seem to strengthen the first part of the tradition, viz., a
locket, set in gold of the period, containing a portrait of Charles I. reading.
" That the Worcestershire Archers were Royalists, there can be no doubt ; the
children of Edward Archer of Hanley Castle, eldest son of John Archer of Welland,
by his wife Eleanor, daughter of Richard Frewen of Hanley Castle, were dispossessed
of their estates by Cromwell. We find, about 1652, 'William Archer and William
Walter petitioning on behalf of the children, being minors, Thomas, George, and Anne,
of the late Edward Archer of Hanley Castle.' There is no mention of his elder
children in this petition ; they, no doubt, had equally incurred the Protector's dis-
pleasure. Thomas, George, and Anne, being minors, might be presumed to be guilt-
less of political sympathies. These Welland Archers appear to have broken up
entirely, about 1649, and to have dispersed in all directions, their large possessions
passing into the hands of their Cromwellite neighbours — the Lechmeres* and others.
Presumably, the Frewens — maternal ancestors of Edward of Hanley — were also
Royalists, for we find them settled in Barbados, at the same period as Edward Archer,
of 1693, as well as the Thornes, Moores, and other families, and Kirtons, with whom
the [Umberslade] Netherthorpe Archers had intermarried. It is a curious and suggestive
fact, that the first Barbadian ancestor of Edward Archer of 1693, called his estates
' Cleobury,' and ' Oldbury.' Now, if we refer to Dugdale's ' Pedigree of Archer of

Umberslade,' we find that Thomas le Archer — {temp. Edward III.) — married Marga-
rita, daughter of Cleburie, and Rowland Archer [grandson of Archer] of Umber-
slade, quartered the arms of the Mortimer-Cleburie family. His sister was Mrs. Wal-
rond, and his aunt, Mrs. Kirton. Again, Oldbury is a town in Worcestershire. I cannot
but think that a deep significance lies in the names chosen by this branch of Barbadian
Archers, for the first properties held by them, in the land of their [choice]. They would
serve, not only to keep alive the cherished memory of the mother country, but act as
landmarks to their posterity, showing the line of Umbersdale from which they derived,
as in the case of Cleoburie, and their Worcester origin from Oldbury.
"The earliest Archers mentioned in the Parish Registers of Barbados, are Richard,
Leonard, and Nicholas.* They were undoubtedly sons of Nicholas Archer of Hus-
troppj CO. Lincoln, and of " foreign ptV His will is recorded in London. Sons,
Richard, Leon (qy. cont. Leonard), Nicholas, and Christopher. That they were also
Cromwellites and Puritans, I think we may infer, from the baptismal names of their
children, when we consider the mania, at that period, for Biblical appellations among
the followers of the Protector. Nathaniel, Joseph, Joshua, and Peter, are the Chris-
tian names we find bestowed on the offspring of these early Archers, and they were
perpetuated in their descendants. The name of Edward appears but once amongst
them ; one Peter Archer, grandson of Leonard, called his son by this name, but he
was born in 1703, ten years after the death of Edward Archer of 1693.
" It is morally impossible that the latter could be descended from either of the
three brothers, Richard, Leonard, or Nicholas, since the only member of their respective
families who bore the name of Edward was born after his demise.
At the present time, baptismal designations have no signification ; it was not
thus, however, in the days of our forefathers. Let us, then, turn from these Lincoln
Archers to Edward Archer, of 1693, and his descendants. In no single instance do
we find a Scriptural name amongst them, but in their stead we do find the baptismal
names borne for centuries by the Umberslade Archers — Thomas, Edward, Robert,
John, and William — names, moreover, borne by the sons of John Archer of Welland,
from whom I claim descent for Edward Archer, who died in Barbados, in 1693, either
through his eldest son. Edward, of Hanley Castle, or through Robert, a younger son,
born 1616. We know that the former's eldest son, John, was in 'foreign pts' (see
Nash) ; it is possible, nay, probable, that his other ' dispossessed ' elder sons were also
emigrants. Edward, of Hanley Castle, was born June, 1600. Allowing thirty years
for a generation, Edward Archer, of Barbados, might clearly have been his son ; were
he born about 1630, he would only have been sixty-three at the time of his death
in 1693. That some members of the Worcestershire Archers did emigrate, is an
undoubted fact ; for among the wills of Archers in ' foreign pts ' we find those of
* There are no Archers named in the List of Inhabitants of Barbados, in 1638 ; but about 1640—80, there
were Archers from Hampshire, in addition to those from the other counties mentioned. The Archers of Wainflect
[1684] were evidently a branch of Umberslade, as were also the earlier Norfolk and Suifolk Archers.

' John of Worcester,' Humphrey Archer, &c. The former, I presume, was the son
of Edward of Hanley. I am more disposed, however, to think that Edward Archer
of Barbados was the son of the younger brother Robert, son of John Archer of
Welland and Eleanor Frewen of Hanley.
"Robert Archer was baptized at Hanley, April, 1616. He married Anne Skinner
of Ledbury, and was the father of many children. His son Robert was ' Parson of
Castle-Morton' : he married, 1677, Hannah Moore, daughter of Edward Moore, of
Suckley Court. Two short tabulations will show more clearly than I can do by words,
my reason for believing that this younger Robert was a brother of Edward of Barba-
dos. That Edward Archer's father was named Robert, I myself believe, though I
readily admit that my reasons for this preference will not satisfy genealogists ; but, in
the absence of proof, let the' following fact weigh for what it is worth. During the
hurricane of 1 831, in common with many other ancient mansions of the old settlers
(or ' Planters,' as they were called), the ancestral home of this branch of the Barbadian
Archers was destroyed ; beneath the foundation-stone was found, by Mr. Edward
Archer (the owner), an exquisite porcelain* cup, on which were the initials R. A. in
gold. It is necessary to explain, that Mr. Edward Archer was innocent of all genea-
logical precise information, and, like many others, merely relied on a family tradition^
without any misgiving, and, at the same time, without any interest in such questions.

X The author of the above remarks might be equally critical with the pedigrees of, at least, two-thirds of the
families whose origin is not less doubtful, although unquestioned. The arguments advanced by R. C. as above,
still leave untouched the hypothesis of the descent of E, A. [1693] from a Suffolk descendant of Edward [mat. at
Oxon], son of Miles [2nd son of Richard Archer, by his wife, Maud Delamere], who lived at Ambleside, co. West-
moreland, towards the close of the i6th century. The Plantations, or estates, of the families of Archer [E. A.
1693], Brathwaite [Miles], and Grettou of St. Philip, were contiguous. The latter intermarried with that of
Toppin, present representatives of which are, the Revd. G. P. Toppin, and Capt. Toppiu, 18th Regt. [Royal

ANTIGUA.
pEW of our older colonies have a more eventful and romantic history than Antigua,
and its vicissitudes have been comprehensively narrated in a work entitled
" Antigua and the Antiguans," from which the following Monumental Inscriptions
have been extracted. In this island, as well as in those of St. Christopher and Mont-
serrat, there are many more such records, but in the course of flying visits, the author
had not the same opportunities, as in Jamaica, and in Barbados, of making, personally,
additions to the present collection.
For an account of the Civil, Military, and Judicial establishments, see " The
Colonial List." There is a House of Assembly, of twenty- five members, and a
Council, which nominates the Governor, subject to the confirmation of the Crown.

Ct. Christopher (Neyis and Anguilla). Until 1866, the Government was ad-
ministered by a Lieut.-Governor, subordinate to the Governor of Antigua. The
first Governor-in- Chief, 1834, was Sir Evan McGregor, Bart., since when it has had
(to 1870) thirty-six Governors, Lieut-Governors, Administrators, and Presidents.
Nevis was discovered in 1498, and settled by the English in 1628. It has had
fourteen Lieut.-Governors and Presidents, from 1841 to 1870.
" The latter island," says a correspondent, " I am told, abounds with inscriptions,
not only in the churches, but also in private burial grounds about the country." Un-
fortunately, the author has been unable to obtain but few of these.

pAPTAiN WILLIAM Peake was the brother of the late Sir Henry Peake, Kt., Sur-
veyor of the Navy, from 1806 to 1822.
The subject of the above inscription is briefly referred to, in the " Naval Biographi-
cal Dictionary," as follows :— "Captain William Peake was killed, and his ship, the
'Peacock,' 18 guns and 122 men, was sunk in a desperate action with the American
sloop ' Hornet,' 20 guns and 165 men, 24th February, 1813."
It does not appear whether this officer was married and left any descendants.
His brother, Sir Henry, however, was the father of two distinguished naval officers,
viz.. Captain T. L. Peake, who served on the Walcheren Expedition of 1809, and
during the memorable action with the French ship " Rivoli," 74 guns, in 1812, — and
Commander H. F. Peake. There was also a Lieutenant Charles Peake, (born 1793,
died 1847,) who had done good service in his day, but whether he was a member of
the above family is not known to the author.
