In answer to the inquiry in our May Number, p. 450, we have received several reminiscences of Lady Mary Coke. She resided in the house at the corner of Berkeley Square, with one front in Mount Street, now occupied by the Earl of Abergavenny, and latterly at Chiswick (not Chelsea), in a house called Morton Hall, since pulled down by the Duke of Devonshire. There she died, and her body was buried in the vault of her father John Duke of Argyll, in Westminster Abbey. It is said she enjoyed a jointure of 4,000l. per annum on the Holkham estate. She was a tall and haughty dame, and her eccentricities were notorious. She was followed, whether in her carriage or on horseback, by a train of servants and dogs, and was always dressed in an extraordinary way, as were also her servants. I. I. believes the Lloyd "mentioned in William Taylor's Life (see May, p. 450) was not Mr. Charles Lloyd, the intimate friend of the Lake poets, the Coleridge and Southey, Lloyd and Lamb, and Co." of the Antijacobins, but the Rev. Dr. Lloyd, a dissenting minister, who married a sister of the late Sir James Smith, and with whom Southey would very naturally fall in, in his visit amongst the Dissenters at Yarmouth to his friend Burnett. R. D. says there are two errors in T. P.'s "List of Contributors to the Quarterly Review," in our last number. In vol. xxii. 1820, Art. 5, p. 400, he says, that Mr. Croker was the author of the article on "Spence's Anecdotes." This article was the origin of the famous Pope controversy, and was attributed at the time to several eminent writers by the Anti-Papist party. It was not by Mr. Croker, but by Mr. D'Israeli. In vol. xxxii, Art. 6, p. 152, he says, that the one on "Dibdin's Library Companion" was written by Mr. D'Israeli. Mr. D'Israeli was certainly not the author of this article. In answer to the inquiry of C. N. (p. 562,) "What has become of Dr. Tredway Nash's MSS., from which was compiled his History of Worcestershire; and if there are any continuations of the collateral branches in his own pedigree subjoined to that work," MR. JABEZ ALLIES informs us, on the authority of Mr. Eaton of Worcester, that Mr. Ross and Mr. Hurd made some corrections and additions to his History, which Mr. Eaton has, including additions to the Doctor's pedigree. His library, manuscripts, and plates were packed up by Mr. Eaton and sent to Eastnor Castle, Lord Somers having married the Doctor's only daughter. An account of his death was inserted in the Gent. Mag. written by Mr. Ross, and particulars of him and his family are given in Chambers's Biographical Illustrations of the county. Mr. Ross was the engraver of the plates in the History, and also of those in the edition of Hudibras published by Dr. Nash, with notes. Mr. Hurd was the brother of the Bishop of Worcester. To Correspondents versed in Welsh Genealogies. Elizabeth Fiennes, daughter of Sir William Fiennes, (who was summoned to Parliament 29th Hen. VI. and slain at the battle of Barnet, 10th Edw. IV. 1471,) married Sir William Griffith of North Wales, knight. Can any genealogical Correspondent identify this Sir William Griffith, or state what family of Griffith now existing is descended from him? Many Welsh pedigrees give the descendants of Sir William Griffith, Chamberlain of North Wales, but none of them give him any such wife as Elizabeth Fiennes. It J. P. observes that PLANTAGENET, in his interrogatories as to Caesar's landing, &c. p. 602, of your last volume, is a little in error as to the length of the Roman mile. He will see the mistake, as undoubtedly it has arisen from confounding the number of feet in its termination with the yards. should be 1611 yards and two-thirds, or 4835 feet, not 1635 yards. This is according to the tables, so that 11 English miles exceed 12 Roman ones by only 20 yards. In the Commentary on the Itinerary of Richard of Cirencester, (edit. 1809,) there is an account of some attempts to ascertain the length of the Roman mile, by actual admeasurements, which all vary, but from which is deduced an average of 1593 yards, a result that should not be relied on. A. K. wishes for reference to any source of information respecting the genealogy or affinity of John Smith, Esq. Barrister-atLaw, who had considerable estates in the counties of Hereford and Brecon. He founded almshouses at Peterchurch, and left charities for the parishes of EatonBishop, Clifford, Kingston, &c. in Herefordshire, (see Report of Charity Commissioners XXXII. part 2, p. 268.) His will dated 1722 mentions his cousin "Moor Green," whose descendants have to this time continued to be the owners of his estate at Eaton-Bishop, and of his mansion there, called " Cagebrook." The charities were to be disposed of at the discretion of his trustees, and the person who should have the freehold of the house in which he lived at Eaton Bishop. ERRATA. P. 35. The portrait is one of Madame de Sevigné, not of Mons. de Sevigné. P. 203. William Adrian Lord Inverurie was killed while hunting, December, 1843, (not early in the present year.) Lady IsabellaCatharine is still living. |
