Ishall be most grateful for any information as to the ancestors of Sir Jonathan Raymond, and had he a brother John Raymond, and, ifso, who did he marry and what issue had he ? Is John Raymond, named in the willof Jemmett Raymond as his cousin, the same John Raymond (of Tower Hill,London ; Hatchlands, Surrey ; and Horn Park, Eltham ; M.P. forMelcombe Regis ; and a Brewer, who died at Battersea Rise 20 January 1782, aged 70) whose willis referred to in 'Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica,' Vol. 111., N.S., page 215, and who married Britannia and Mary, the daughters of James Lambe of Hackney, and whose father was Samuel Raymond of London, Merchant, who died 7 September 1730, having married, 2 March 1707-8, at St. Giles, Cripplegate, Anne, daughter of Nicholas Skinner of London, Merchant ? See 'Le Neve's Knights,' and Hunter's Fam. Mm. Gentium, Add. MS. 24,458, BritishMuseum. Ibelieve AnnWhitley (see 'Burkes Commoners,' vol. iii.,page 115) was a great-great-grand-daughter of Sir Jonathan Raymond through his eldest daughter Elizabeth, who married Thomas Ldder> of Balston Park, Kintbury (for Loder of Balston Park see Visitation of Berkshire 1664-6), or was Ann Whitley descended from Sir Jonathan Raymond through his third daughter Mary, who married 13 September 1695 at Allhallows Church, in the City of London, Sir John Chetwode, Bart., and had, inter alios, Anne, who married Thomas Whitley of Aston (see 'Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica,' Vol. 1., Second Series, pages 76, 88, and 334) ? Can any one throw light on Sir Jonathan Raymond's will,which is not to be found at the Probate Office, Somerset House ? Is anything known of Sir Jonathan Raymond's children (he had eleven in all according to the M.I. at Kintbury), besides his son Sir Jemmett Raymond and his daughters Mrs. Thomas Loder and Lady Chetwode (and inDame Anne Raymond's willMre Thomas Blackmore and MrtHenshaw) ? From John Raymond of Hatch- lands, Surrey, M.P., etc., are descended the families of Raymond-Barker of Fairford Park, Gloucestershire ;Brine of Lower Hardres, Kent ; Wansey ; Colfox of Brid­ port; Warren of Handcross Park, Crawley, Sussex, etc. ;Nettlefold ;Nias ofBath ; Hill; Brocas of Beaurepaire, Hampshire ; Rice (Lord Dynevor) ; and By of Shernfold Park, Sussex.
