174-3. Aui:. P. Patent of naturalisation granted to John Xembhard of the
p. of St. Mary, "an alien born." (Jamaica Deeds, Lib. 24, fo. 1.) The following
is from a Patt-nt of George II. : —

"lu oonsideraticu that D"' John Nembhard hath transported himself with hia
servants and slaves into our said island " do grant unto him 300 acres in the p. of
S' George bounded X. on Mathew Shutler, S. on John Jump (?), Jun'', E. on

yearly profits of all base mines. Entered March 1758. Lib. 28, fo. 81.

It is not known from which other colony the Doctor removed. It may have
been the Dutch Island of St. Eustatius. He called his estate Koningsburgh.
Search has been made at Konigsberg in East Prussia, but no trace found.
Tradition points to a Dutch origin.

NOTES TO PEDIGEEE.

1. Doctor Nembhaed.
According to family tradition Dr. Nembhavd was Dutch and descended from
a famous general ; soiiie say lie was a natural soi\ of Prince Eugene of Savoy,
who certainh' was at the Hague tVom Nov. 1710 to Jan. 1711, regulatmg a
question of supplies. There is a great likeness between portraits of the Nemb-
hard family and those of Prince Eugene's ancestors, not so much to those of the
Prince himself.

Cobham, Surrey, was also his fi'om about 1796 till he sold it again four years
later. His town house was in Devonshire Place. He kept a diary in which
nearly all the Nembhard family events are recorded.

Jamaica :\Iilitia. Adjutant General. Col. W" Ellis Nembhard 18 Dec. 1807.
(" Jamaica Almanack," 1810.)

"William Ellis Nembhard died 11 Dec. 1S29 ; his will was not proved until
15 J n. 1836.

So much suspicion attached to this will on account of his wife Julia, who was
illiterate, being left sole executrix as well as legatee, that for long the Nembhard
family thought of disputing it. The Emancip:ition of the Slaves, however, had
brought them such losses that the ide;i was finally abandoned. Fifty years later
Madam de Rosaz, as she had then become, once more a widow, sought out the
Nembhard family, who in the interim had had no communication with her, and
expressed her wish to make a will restoring to them the money she had inherited
from her first husband. This intention w-as frustrated by a man who, though no
connection of hers, took upon himself to advise her in her affairs. A will was
made under his direction in which her property was left between himself and her
relations (small farmers) in Ireland, with the result that after her death General
Nembhard brought an action for •' undue influence " against this individual. The
preparations for the trial dragged on for some years at enormous expense, and
the case having become a triangular one owing to the Irish relations having
turned against the other legatee and intervening, it seemed likely that the fortune
in question, then no more than about £30,000, would be dissipated in costs.
The case was finally compromised without having come into court, General
Nembhard receiving the lion's share of ten thousand guineas.

8. John Peederick Nembhard, 56th Bengal Native Infantry.
Letter from Fredk. C. AV. L. Nembhard, 30 Dec. ISSS : "I am the only son
of the late ^lajor and Brevet-Col. Nembhard of the 56''' N.I. Kegt., who served
under Lord Gough in the battles of Goojerat, Chillianwalla, and the Khyher Pass,
and who succeeded Major Bamfield in the command of the 56"' Reg'. My father
died March 1856 at Camp Bowsie." [Italics mine.— M. N.]

1818. Tutor, M'' Brown. No other particulars given." (.\dmissions. Trinity
College, Cambridge, 1851—1900.)

Henry Nembhard became very wild and extravagant at College. He was
refused by Miss Rowe on this account, and taking her refusal to heart he
disappeared about the time of his father's death, and for some fifteen ye.irs none
of the family knew what had become of him. In 1S38 his sister-in-law Elizabeth
Nembhard, nee Brooks, while making a short tour in the north of France,
accidentally found him imprisoned for debt in a French town, where she stopped
to change horses. She paid his debt, a very small one, brought him to England,
and reconciled him to Miss Rowe, who in "spite of her refusal had been faithful
to him. They were married, and Henry, who by this time had quite sobered
down, took Holy Orders. He died greatly respected and beloved.

10. William and Eta Nembhard.

Owing to the depreciation of all Jamaican property, it would have been
advisable to sell the Hounslow and Kensington estates on the elder William
Nembhard's death in 1833, but owing to the t~enor of his will this was impossible
until 1852, when his daughter Eva came of age. By that time the estates them-
selves had greatly lost in productiveness, and so far from being a source of income

Mrs. Xembhard ami her son liad to make a yearly allowance for theif upkeep,
a severe tax, especially nii the young officer. When at la.«t it was legally
[)ermissible to sell them, one fetched no more than £1.00. while for the other not
even money could be obtained. It was parted with for a hundred head of cattle,
which sold again for about £80. Thus ended the connection of the Nembhard
family with Jamaica.

12. TiiOiiAS Hat Nembhard Etered, Imperial Yeomanry, who died in
Kustenberg Hospital, 23 Nov. 1901, of wounds received in the South African
War, was a son of Capt. Courtenay Evered, R.N., and Gertrude, nee >"e:ubhard.

Caxo>' Edgar Nembhard Thwaitks was a godson of Thomas Hay Nemb-
hai-d, 11th Foot, and a nephew of the latters first wife, his mother having been
Marv, fourth daughter of John Evered, Esq , of Hill (see Burke's •• Landed

our manufacturers, and a famine from the incessant & relentless Eain ; & IMiss

he cannot come"till Friday; he then gives us but slender hopes. On Friday
Miss N. continues all that day and all Saturday as ill as possible to be alive."

The following, under date Sunday 26 Sep. 1809, really covers a whole week :—

" AVe have some Eeason in the course of last Night and this morn? to think
Charlotte better, but more symptoms occur in the course of the Day, and we are
very impatient for M'' Holland who comes about 4 ]).m. : he thinks her much
better and dines here and leaves her abo' 7 with great hopes that all would still
be well. Notwithstanding this she dies about half jiast one on the Monday
Morning. The weather miserably bad : I arrange matters for the funeral.
Tuesday I go to Prestbury about the grave for poor Charlotte: get terribly wet,
and on Saturday the burial takes place, raining all the time. Procession as

could not stir from Town till her fate was determined."

He retuns to Birtles, and continues: —

■• Jamaica Sep'' 26'^' 1795.
My dear Anna.

.... I cannot ex|)ress how much I long to see yon, and your dear Brotliers —
but that great Ocean, that is between England and Jamaica, prevents me of that
happiness. I hope long before this, you have had the pleasure of seeing your
Cousin Ballard" (Ballard Jaques Neinbhard), "you must be kind to him as he
has no Brothers, or Sisters with him, lie is a very good little Boy, and I am certain,
you and your Brothers will be very fond of him, he is rather bashful at iirst, but
that will soon wear off, as he becomes more acquainted, I can answer that your
Mamma will will be a second Mamma to him. I wish I could persuade your
Uncle Ballard to send your Cousin Letitia to England, she would be a nice little
play mate for you, he says when there is a Peace he will send your Aunt Nemb-
hard and all the Children to England, she has two very fine Boys, the name of
the eldest is George, the other is Henry. Your Cousin Lettice Orgill (who
I make no doubt you recollect seeing at your Papa's House in England) is now
living with me, she arrived in the last Fleet from England, she has lost her Graud-
mamnia (M" Cleland) who she was to have lived with, Tour Uncles, Aunts and
Cousins, all join in best affections, to your Papa, Mamnin, Brothers and yourself,
and I remain my dear Anna's

affectionate Grand Man;ma

My kind Comp'= to your English Mamma M''* S. (Samuel) Hibbert."

Letter from Ballard Beckford Nemekard to hi.s Sister, Mrs. Hibbert
OF Chalfokt.

" Southampton July 29"' 1820.
" My dear Sister,

.... I will with much jjleasure obe}- your summons to Chalfont, but
I do not believe I shall be able to leave this until the 7"' or 8"' of next montli.
I am sorry to add that the Boys " (Tom and Edward) " cannot accompany me, as
they had seven weeks holidays and had become so wild, living out of doors from
morning to night and frequently not coming home to dinner, that it was quite
time for them to return to School, which they did this morning. I tbank you for
the particular account )'ou give me of Eliza," (his dauglitei', who had lived at
Chalfont since her mother's death) "and would rejjeat my acknowledgments of
all your kindness to her, if I thought you were not sufficiently convinced of my

grateful sense of them As I mentioned to you before, 1 shall be perfectly

satisfied with whatever sum you may think necessary to be expended for Her
dress etc. without troubling yourself with particulars of the Bills, the sight of
which would n^it make me a bit wiser; but as far as I can judge, the amount you
have mentioned appears to me as little as can be fixed on to enable her to appear
as decently in your family as you and I could wish, and which I beg you will
allow to her in any way you tliinU proper." He goes on to complain of the
extrava'^ance of his three eldest sons : '" It makes me melancholy when I reflect
that out of three Sous grown up, not one of theu> is possessed of common prudence

I must trust to the chance of finding some persrn that ^vill kindly undertake to

I cannot leave England my dear sister without saying farewell to ^ou, it is
doubtful whclhcr we go on board tomorrow, the Tide ni)t being sufficiently high
for the ship to go out of Deck yestei Aaj — my IlusVand is gone in the City & I shall
know for certain this Evening. We went on board the Ann last week ; Jane
(Hibbert, her niece) expressed a wish to see the ship & most comfortable
& commodious Apartment we have, Snm (Hibbert)* has been very attentive
in seeing that everything is put in for our accommodation, he is to go with us as
far as Gravesend. I am now going to tell you of a circumstance Ihat will surprise
you. I have had an interview ^^ilh our Brother (William Ellis Kembliard),
my Husband met him yesterday about Edward's money, he told him where I was
&"asked if he would not call & see me which he promised 1o do, as he did not
come before dinner I gave up all thoughls of seeing him as he was to lea\e Tov\n
early this morning, however in the middle of Dinner A\ho should walk- in but our
Brother looking uncommonly well with the assistance of Eouge but much older
than when I last saw him, he gave me a hearty kiss & appeared glad to see me,
after we retired in the Drawing room he soon followed us, he then told me he
wish'd to say a few words to me in pi-ivate. I went out witli him he then took
hold of both my Hands & said it had been a great grievance to him the manner
in which he had been treated by the family ever since his marriage, he then said
a great deal about the respectability of his Wife's relations & could at any time
show the certificate of their marriage. I told him he ought to have announced
his uiariiage & not have kept it a secret .... Just before he took leave of me he
said : " Eliza write a few lines to my AYife " .... I told him I must consult with my
Husband, that seemed to satisfy him, he then took an affectionate leave of me
which I believe was sincere .... I am sure I shall be most happy should it ])lease
God that we return again to this country to be on Sisterly terms with him, being
now only three it is lamentable that we should not be united. God bless 3'ou my
dear Sister I pray that we may again meet, much happiness attend j'ou & j'ours

ever your affec''^ E. H."

Master of H M.S. Vesuvius,

died suddenly, 19 June, 1844, aged 34.

Erected b_v Comr. Erasmus (_)mmaney and officers of the ship.

(" Notes and Queries," 11 S., ii., 483.)

Fulmee, Co. Bucks.

To the memory of George W™ Nembhard

of the isl.nnd of Jamaica,

late of her Majesty's steamship Vesuvius,

who died off Gibraltar, June lO"" 1844, aged 33,

and was there buried.

This tablet was placed here by his friends John and

Katharine Kaye of Fulnier Grove in this parish,

to record his worth

and their affection and regret.

In a Letter from the Father of Miss C. P. Kaye to his Uncle at

Fclmer, dated Jan. 1834.
" I hope George Nembhard has got afloat again, and has got his rank. Please
remember me to him."

From a " Slight JorENAL of a Fortnight's Tour made Septembee 1836,"
BY A Miss Kaye, aged 12 or 14 in that year.
" Sep. 26''' Monday. Proceeded to Chichester, where Papa ordered luncheon
at the Dolphin, and we went out to see the Cathedral while it was preparing ....
Saw what we believed to be the Tomb of M'' J. {sic) Nembhard's Father ;
M' J. Nembhard is a protegee {sic) of Aunt John's.

Note by M. N.

George Nembhard arrived from Jamaica with letters of iutroduction to the

Kaye family of F'ulmer, who received him kindly, and became so much attached

to him that, on hia death at Gibraltar, they put up a tablet to his memory in

Fulmer Church. There was some mystery about his biith, and though George

KEMBSARD. 21

was a great de;il at Fuliner, and the K.i\o> wero acquaiiiteJ with thu Hibbert^ of
Chalfont (ouly abjur four miles from Fuiuier), he was uever takeu there, nor
were the Hiblicrts made aware of his existence. Young Miss Kaye's conjecture
was probably correct. The wife of Kob.rt Hibbert, jun., sister of William Ellis
NembharJ, hints at something of the kiiii in one of her letters.
