PREFACE

HIS ''Part" of the Gleanings is really only a kind of genealogical appendix to Part VI., and will be corres­ Tpondingly dull for most people. But its contents are essential to the large scheme on which I am working, and there are items of interest for those with patience to seek them. To what an extent "the complicated interactions of kinship," particu­ larly through his wife, impinged upon Johnson's own career at various points is well shown by the key pedigree which acts as a kind of frontispiece. If the volume itself is not stimulating to many, I hope that the novel map contained in the pocket at the end, and described in a special note, may prove of general interest. So far as I know, nothing like it has ever been attempted before to illustrate the origins and life, or part of the life, of any celebrated man. At present I cannot say whether Part VIII. will continue with the story of Johnson's career after his returning to London in r740, or whether a Part will have to be interposed containing various fresh matter bearing upon his early life that has cropped up during the progress of the work. In conclusion, it is a great pleasure to thank all those who have so generously helped me in the compilation of this Part, chief among whom, as so often before, is Mr. A. W. Read, of Leicester, a friend who never fails. And my thanks are overdue to Miss Lucy Drucker, of London, whose professional services, particularly at Somerset House, have been invaluable to me for many years. To my printers, Messrs. Percy Lund, Humphries & Co., Ltd., and to my friend Mr. E. C. Gregory, their enlightened ... 111 and enterprising director, a special tribute is due, not only for the diligent care they continue to take in the production of the volumes, but also for their sympathetic interest in work of this character, which has helped considerably towards making publication of my researches possible. That the University of Oxford, since my last Part was issued, should have seen fit to reward my labours with an honorary degree, is a circumstance of which only vanity could leave me unregardful.

THE JERVIS, PORTER AND OTHER ALLIED FAMILIES

THE JERVIS FAMILY OF GREAT PEATLING (See ante, VI., 1-12)

AT the outset of my researches, in The Reades of Blackwood Hill and Dr. Johnson's Ancestry, 1906 (pp. 235-6), I printed some particulars of the Jervis family, but they were almost entirely derived from Nichols's Leicestershire, and could claim no originality. Since then I had not added anything to those notes, until in Part VI. of the Gleanings I devoted the first chapter (pp. 1-12) to a brief anticipation of the information here given in full detail. With the early generations of the family, as set forth in the Visitation pedigree of 1619, I am not much concerned. The succession of names from William " J erveis," said to have been settled at Thorpe Langton in or about 1363, to the John Jervis with whom I am content to start my pedigree, probably has some foundation of fact, but I am inclined to doubt whether it is a true descent throughout from father to son. John Jervis, who died in 1558, is shewn as eighth in descent from the founder, and when eight generations are compressed into less than 200 years we, who know how the generations of male descent rarely vary much from the accepted average of three to the century, may justifiably be sceptical. There were very likely records of Jervises, 2 JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS : PART VII. as named, being in possession of the Thorpe Langton estate at the dates given, but in some cases they may have been brothers, or even cousins, who succeeded, and not sons. When we come to the .John Jervis in question we find him given in the Visitation pedigree as son of William Jervis, but as actual records reveal that when he inherited Thorpe Langton, in 1511, it was in succession to one William Jervis, described only as his "kinsman," we may wonder whether here is not an excellent illustration of the truth of n1y suggestion . . William Jervis, son of the John Jervis mentioned, purchased a manor at Great Peatling in 1564, and after that date Great Peatling was the family seat until the second half of the eighteenth century, when increasing poverty compelled relinquishment of the old home. There seem to have been Jervises who remained at Thorpe Langton after the settlement of William Jervis at Great Peatling, and apparently in the elder line, but they soon vanish and are not heard of again. I am content to deal with the Great Peatling line, and to leave questions not directly connected with it for others to settle if they can. There is no great problem or difficulty in the pedigree of the Peatling Jervises, such as tormented me, and still torments me when I think of it, in the descent of the Porters (see post, pp. 62-4). But there are a few things I am very sorry to leave unsettled. Most do I grieve that the careers of Mrs. Johnson's younger brothers, William and Samuel, who were both alive in 1703, and approaching maturity, have not been traced. More extended research might reveal their after history, but when ways and means have constantly to be considered even obvious channels of information often have to be left unexplored. There is the usual number of discrepancies in names and dates, particularly in the printed sources, but I have done my best to resolve all such difficulties. At ante, VI., 12, I was only able to suggest that William Davies Jervis, like his elder brother Charles, left no legitimate issue, and that therefore the male line of the Jervis family of Peatling failed on their death. The evidence is now complete that this was so, though, like his brother again, he left illegitimate issue. THE JERVIS AND PORTER FAMILIES 3 EXTRACTS FROM PARISH REGISTERS GREAT PEATLING, CO. LEIC.

COLMORE, WILLIAM COLMORE. (in presence of) MARY WARD, THO. FOSTER. The following is an extract from the State Papers 23 (Interregnum Committee for Compounding), vol. G. 247 :- No. 78. These severa.11 persons hereunder written have bine compounded with by the Committee for sequestracions by vertue of an order of the honorable house of Comons for that purpose bearing date the xxxth. day of August 1645 and soe have dischardged them of their sequestracions. Henry Harrington of Thometon (then follow 12 names) Mr. Jervis Esqr. of greate Peatling (then follow 46 names) Mr. A. W. Read kindly sends me the following from his MS. copy of the Leicestershire Hearth Tax Roll:- 1664. Guthlaxton Hundred...... Jervis Widow 2 hearths Ayleston THE JERVIS AND PORTER FAMILIES 17 . Peatlinge Magna. Samuell Jervis Esq. 11 hearths. Henry Jervis gen. I new erected. Mr. Read was also the discoverer of the licence for Harry Porter's marriage, issued from Lichfield:- 1714/15. Feb. 4. Henry (sic) Porter, of Birmingham, bach., 23 or there­ abouts, and Elizabeth Jervis, of Warwick, 23 or thereabouts. Surety, William Eboral, of Balsall, co. Warwick. The marriage must have been solemnised in the diocese of Lichfield, but where we do not know as yet. From Mr. Read's MS. copy of the admission register of Appleby School, in Leicestershire, I find that entries to the Latin school include the names of William Jervis on 22 July 1772, and Richard Jervis on 23 Jan. 1787; and to the Writing school those of William Jervis on 12 July 1773, and Richard Jervis, of Lutterworth, on 26 Jan. 1787. Mr. W. T. Hall, of Harrow, kindly tells me that Richard Jervis succeeded the Rev. William Brown as clerk and schoolmaster of the Free Grammar School at Stoke Golding. An indenture dated 5 Sept. 1801, in the Registry of the Leicester Archdeaconry, shews his appointment as school­ master by T. S. Powys, during the minority of the Earl of Denbigh, in whom the appointment was vested. Mr. Jervis signed the Archdeaconry Sub­ scription Book, on 7 Oct. 1801, as" Clerk of Stoke Golding, Schoolmaster of the Free Grammar School there." But the parish registers are not signed by him until 1803, continuing to 1808. Such signatures as appear between 1801-03 are those of casual clergy. The Rector of Stoke Golding, who was Vicar of Hinckley, died in Jan. 1804 ; and as Jervis from that date signs continuously, it would appear that not until then did he have actual charge of the parish. Cole-Galloway, the Rector, was rather an eccentric person, whose faults have been kindly ascribed by the historian to mental deterioration. Mr. Hall sends me also this extract from the Feet of Fines for Stoke Golding :- 1808. Plaintiff: Henry Everleigh Holland, clerk [curate of Hinckley], Wm. Sketchley, the elder. Deforciant: Richard Jervis, clerk, Robt. Smart, Thos. Geary. One messuage, one cottage, one acre of land, and a moiety of the one messuage, cottage, one barn, one stable, one garden, 14 acres of land, 14 acres of meadow, 14 acres of pasture; and a moiety of one-fifth part of one messuage, one garden, one orchard, 60 acres of land, 40 acres of meadow, 30 acres of pasture, in Shearsby, Narborough, Huncote, Newhall Park, Willoughby Waterless, and Stoke Golding, etc. £120. 18 JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS: PART VII. The will of Allen Brown, of Cosby, co. Leic., gent., whose widow Sarah married Richard Jervis, of Lutterworth, in 179r, was dated 13 Mch. 1780, and proved r7 Apl. 1782, at Leicester. He mentions the settlement made on marriage with his present wife, Sarah Brown; and also £500 settled on his marriage with his first wife. Children, or possible children, are alluded to, but none named. A trustee under his last marriage settlement was his brother-in-law, Thomas Farmer, of Leicester, hosier. The will of his famous brother-in-law, Richard Farmer, D.D., Master of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and friend of Johnson's, was dated 3r May 1793 : he bequeaths all his property in trust to his brother, Captain Joseph Farmer, who is to bestow it as he thinks fit for the general good of the family, who are not mentioned individually. Administration was granted on 2 Oct. r797, in P.C.C. (Exeter, 639), to Joseph Farmer, esq., the brother. Mr. A. W.

The jury say that long before his death Thomas was seised in fee of a capital messuage in Thorpe Langton, in his own occupation, and of 3 cottages and 3½ virgates of land, meadow and pasture in Thorpe Langton, East Langton, West Langton and Church Langton. On 21 April, 5 Charles I, 1629, he assured the same to William Halford, esq., and Augustin Fish, gent., as trustees, to the use of himself for life, and then to the use of Katherine, his wife, for her life, and then to the use of their issue. Thomas Jervis died on 23 Feb., 1636, at Thorpe Langton. Katherine, his wife, survives. William Jervis is his son and heir and aged 19 years, 11 months and 16 days. The lands were held of the king, as of the honor of Leicester, in free and common socage, by fealty and suit of court, and worth 20s. In reference to the first fine, of 1564, Nichols says (his Leicester­ shire, IV., 328) that "in 1568, Peatling Magna, which had been seized by the Queen, was restored to vVilliam Jerveis," giving reference in a footnote to "Mich. Rec. 10 Eliz. Rot. 17r." Miss Lucy Drucker, who tried to find the original at the Record Office, writes as follovvs :- As to Nichols's reference, Mich. ought to be 9-10 or 10-1 I Eliz. I have looked up the Plea Roll for Mich. 9-10 Eliz., on which recoveries ought to come out, 30 JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS: PART VII.

but m. 171 gives London only, nothing of Leics.; and Mich. 10-11 Eliz. is unfit for production; so I am afraid it is impossible to get it. Writing to me on 9 Feb. 1932 Mr. Farnham, the learned and laborious author of the Notes, thus expressed his opinion on the point:- I have no doubt that William Jervis bought a manor (there were several) in Peatling Magna in I 564 from Michael Pulteney and Katherine his wife, as the fine indicates. The Queen then seized the Manor into her hand by reason of alienation, as Nichols says, and subsequent to the usual enquiry t};le manor was restored to William Jervis. This was rather a common proceeding at that time.

MISCELLANEOUS EXTRACTS FROM PRINTED SOURCES THE following is taken from The Genealogical Monthly for Nov. 1929, vol. I., No. 6, p. 129 :- Thomas Hilsdon, of Chalgrove, Bedfordshire, and William Jerois, of Great Peatling, Leicestershire, and Elizabeth his wife, which Elizabeth was sister to Frances, the deceased wife of the above Thomas Hilsdon. Elizabeth and F'fances were the only children and coheiresses of William Sheppa'fd, of Hockliffe, Beds, who died intestate about 20 years ago, possessed of lands worth £40 per annum and a personal estate of £1,000. After his death his widow Jane married Michael Henshawe. Prior: to this second marriage, Bernard Brocas and William Brocas, brothers of the said Jane, and uncles to the said Elizabeth and Frances, who were then about 2 or 3 years of age, induced the aforesaid Michael Henshawe to enter into certain bonds con­ cerning the estate of the late William Sheppard, and Jane was also persuaded by Thomas Sheppard, who had neither wife nor child, and was brother to her late husband, to enter into an arrangement. Now, Michael Henshawe and Ralph Sheppard, who is another brother of William Sheppa-,d, are endeavouring to defraud the estate. 16 May 1590. P.R.O.---Requests, 73/69. D JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS : PART VII. In Nichols's Leic., II., 832-3 (see also J. H. Hill's Market Har­ borough, 1875, pp. 273-4), is a pedigree of Brocas, shewing Robert Brocas, of Horton Hall, co. Bucks., descended from the ancient family of Brocas of Beaurepaire, co. Southampton, with an elder son Bernard, of Beaurepaire, Master of the Buckhounds, who died 31 Mch. 1589, and a younger son, William, of Theddingworth, co. Leic. We might identify these two brothers as the ones mentioned in the suit, but the pedigree shews Robert as having an " only daughter " Frances, wife of Sir John Bale, and no daughter Jane, wife first of William Sheppard and secondly of Michael Henshawe. Such pedigrees, however, are not infallible, by any means. The following is from Foster's Alumni Oxonienses :- PRESGRAVE, John, of co. Leicester, gent.

THE DARELLS OF FULMER (See ante, VI., 7-10)

A DETAILED pedigree of the Darells is printed in The Visitation of England and Wales, "Notes," vol. xii. (ed. F. A. Crisp), 1917, pp. 74-80, under the title of " Darell of Scotney." That pedigree is the fruit of modem methods of research, the actual compiler being Mr. Bower Marsh. It begins with John Darell, esq., of Calehill, in the parish of East Chart, co. Kent, who married Florence, daughter of

* Unless William, son of Mr. William Jervis, bapt. I I Jan. 1762, at Lutterworth (ante, p. 6), was child of this marriage. JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS : PART VII. William Chicheley, of Higham Ferrers, co. Northants., and niece of Henry Chicheley [1362?-1443], Archbishop of Canterbury, to whom John Darell acted as Steward. They had a son, Thomas Darell, esq., born 1422, who settled at Scotney, in Sussex, and in 1448 married Thomasine, daughter of Sir John Gresley, of Drakelowe, co. Staffs., ancestor of the present baronet (see also Falconer Madan's "The Gresleys of Drakelowe," William Salt Arch~ological Society, ''Stafford­ shire Collections," New Series, vol. I. (1898), p. 248). Thomas's son Henry,. and his grandson Thomas, continued at Scotney, but Edward Darell, who died in 1573, a younger son of the last Thomas, followed an uncle in the Royal service and changed the current of his family's history by becoming Clerk of the Acatery, or Royal provision store, to Queen -Elizabeth, and settling at Pagham, in Sussex. Edward's eldest son was Sir Thomas Darell, born 1553, knighted in 1603, who was M.P. for East Retford in 1604. A younger son of Edward was Sir Marmaduke Darell, first of Fulmer, with whom I start my pedigree, the father of Sir Sampson Darell. I may say that Mr. Bower Marsh's pedigree, though giving full particulars of Sir Sampson Darell and his wife, does not include their children, as they were merely collateral to the branch of the family with which he was dealing. It is only regarding Sir Sampson Darell and his descendants that I have, therefore, sought original evidence, as he was the great-grandfather of Johnson's wife. And the account I can give of them is very far from complete, in spite of much enquiry. POST-MORTEM INQUISITION Bucks. SIR SAMPSON DARELL, KNT. Inquisition taken at Colebrooke, co.

NARRATIVE PEDIGREE OF THOMSON (See ante, VI., 8) The mother of Johnson's mother-in-law belonged to the old Kentish family of Thomson, of which I have obtained enough informa­ tion to give the following pedigree. With earlier generations, settled at Sandwich, I am not concerned. My authorities are as follows:­ Harleian Society, vol. 14 (" Berry's Essex Pedigrees"), p. 733 (Hony­ wood) ; vol. 42 (" Visitation of Kent 1619-21 "), pp. 10 (Thomson), 131 (Swan) ; vol. 54 (" Visitation of Kent 1663-1668 "), pp. 93, 165 (Thomson) ; vol. 75 (" Visitation of Kent 1592 "), p. 105 (Honywood) ; Berry's Kentish Genealogies, p. 293 (Swan) ; Hasted's Kent, vol. V. (1798), pp. 423, 425 (Honywood and Thomson) ; and Philip Parsons's Monuments and Painted Glass of upwards of One Hundred Churches in Kent, 1794, pp. I (Darell monument at Wye), 195-7 (Thomson monu­ ments at Lenham). Extracts from the latter work, which form the 54 JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS : PART VII. most valuable items of evidence, were kindly supplied me by Mr. Frank W. Tyler, F.S.A., of Canterbury, Honorary Secretary of the Records Branch of the Kent Archreological Society, to whom I must express my great indebtedness. The inscription at Wye runs thus:- Here, in this isle, lyeth buried the body of Ann (youngest daughter of Robert Thomson, of Boughton, in the County of Kent, Esq. by Dorothy his wife) the entirely loving and beloved wife of Henry Darell, youngest son of Sir Sampson Darell, of Fulmer, in the County of Bucks, Knight. She changed her earthly for a heavenly tabernacle, on Saturday the 6th. of September anno domini 1662. Mr. Tyler tells me that " Boughton " is evidently Boughton Aluph, a village a mile or two from Wye. He also says that "Dorothy daughter of Mr. Thomas Swann "-the mother of Ann above-was baptized at Wye on 24 Feb. 1599/1600. The Rev. F. W. R. Metcalf, Vicar of Wye, sent me this extract from the register there:-" 1662. Anne the wife of Henry Darell Gentleman dyed September the 6th. ; & was buryed the 11th day of ~ same month 1662." HENRY THOMSON, of Royton Manor, par. of Lenham, co. Kent (in right of his wife), and of Sandwich, merchant; second son and coheir of Thomas Thomson, of Sandwich, merchant ; died 24 Oct. 1648, aged 78 ; burd. at Lenham. Mard. Dorothy, eldest dau. of Robert Honywood, of Pett, par. of Charing, co.

NARRATIVE PEDIGREE OF EEDES (See ante, VI., IO) It may seem a far cry from the Eedes family to Dr. Johnson, yet the train of causation appears complete between them. It was the friendship of the Darells with the Eedeses, and Anne Darell having had Francis Eedes for her guardian (ante, p. 50), which led to her connexion with Warwick, where she started her married life with William Jervis. And later, when as a widow she came back to Warwick (ante, p. II), it was evidently through the Colmores, who had come from Birmingham, and were trustees of the Jervis estate (see Colmore JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS : PART VII. pedigree, post, p. 113), that her daughter, Elizabeth Jervis, made the acquaintance of the Colmore's cousin, Harry Porter, and married him. And it was only through" Tetty" so becoming the wife of a Birming­ ham man that Johnson came to meet her, and, in due course, marry her himself.

* From a recent pedigree of Bolton (Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica, 5th. ser., vol. viii., p. 290) it appears that Stephen Bolton [1618-72], of Cornhill, London, and of Warwick, had a daughter, Maria, living in Warwick in 1699, who was married to this Rev. Samuel Jemmatt. She must have been his second wife. t William Eedes, M.A., was Vicar of St. Mary's, Warwick, from 19 May 1687 to 1706 (Church of St. Mary, Warwick, Warwick, 1845, p. 33); but he was son of John Eedes, of Warwick (Foster's Alumni Oxonienses). 58 JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS : PART VII. THE PORTER FAMILY OF EDGBASTON (See ante, VI., 13-21) THE second chapter of Part VI. (pp. 13-21) of these Gleanings dealt in brief outline with the history of the Porters. Here I deal with them in detail, and elaborate the pedigree as much as I am able to do after the many years during which I have been collecting information. In The Reades of Blackwood Hill and Dr.Johnson's Ancestry, in 1906, I printed (at pp. 232-46, 280-1) all I knew of them and their connexions at the time. In previous volumes of the Gleanings additional facts have been given, notably at I., 11, 19, 33-5, 40-41 ; 111., 43, 109, 153-4 ; IV., 94-6; and V., 98-g, 102-3, 106. In constructing the narrative pedigree with which I conclude this article I have utilised all the material already printed, as well as the evidences that follow, and reference must be made to them. The Porter pedigree has two main defects. The first, though the least important to us, lies in the obscurity that clouds its beginnings. There is just enough information to make us feel tantalised: the suggestion of a story whose confusions we cannot unravel at present. The pedigree entered by Henry Porter, of Edgbaston, at the Visitation of Warwickshire in 1619 (post, p. 98), begins with his grandfather, Robert Porter, of Alvechurch, in Worcestershire. This Robert Porter was, no doubt, he of the name who was buried at Alvechurch on 20 Jan. 1546/7 (post, p. 66), only one year after the register, as extant, begins. There need be no doubt about him, especially as the entries that follow are in accordance with the Visitation pedigree. But as to his origin there are no more than clues, and clues which leave us in a state of bewilderment. The will of a William Porter, of Coventry, but late of Alvechurch, gent., was made and proved in 1557 (post, p. 71). He tells us that his father was Thomas Porter, who had been granted lands at Alvechurch which William leaves to Henry, son of his "cousin," Baldwyn Porter, of Coventry, gent. Baldwyn Porter was a witness to the will, as was also one William Porter, gent. Now a Chancery suit of circa 1559 (post, p. 78), instituted by the Henry Porter just mentioned, tells us that Thomas Porter, of Alve­ church, was granted certain land there, by the Bishop of Worcester, fifty years earlier, say about 1509, and that Thomas Porter had made THE JERVIS AND PORTER FAMILIES 59 his will about thirty-five years ago, say about 1524, leaving it to his son, William Porter, and appointing one Robert Porter as his executor. It is perfectly clear, therefore, that Robert Porter, of Alvechurch, the first proved ancestor of the Edgbaston family, was not the first of the name to settle in the Worcestershire village ; and we can scarcely doubt that he was closely related to the Thomas Porter who made his will about 1524, or, indeed, that he was the actual Robert whom Thomas appointed as his executor. The William Porter, gent., who witnessed the will of William Porter, of Coventry late of Alvechurch, in 1557, may well have been the William shewn in the Visitation pedigree as younger son of Robert of Alvechurch. The Alvechurch register shews that there were few, if any, Porters there except the descendants of Robert, so we are not dealing with one of those difficult, and all too common, cases where a parish is full of persons bearing the same name. The ground is unencumbered by namesakes, and we might reasonably take the contemporary Robert and Thomas at Alvechurch to be brothers, especially as, if they were less closely related, it would argue a longer association of the family with the parish, and therefore the probability that it would be represented there by other descendants of their common ancestor. If we grant that Robert Porter was nearly related to Thomas Porter, we must also grant that Baldwin Porter, of Coventry, was " cousin " to both of them. " Cousin " was a very elastic term at that date, and often stood for "uncle," or "nephew." I have no more information of this Baldwin Porter than the mention in the will of 1557, and no record of his son Henry, who inherited the Alvechurch property, after his Chancery suit of two years later. To make confusion worse confounded, in 1598 we get the will of one Baldwin " Portman " (the name has been checked in the original will), also of Coventry, a lawyer, who yet mentions therein a William "Porter," who stood bound with him for the performance of certain legacies under the will of his (Baldwin's) wife's first husband. After this confusion of the trail, the keenest genealogical huntsman might well feel inclined to call off the hounds. However, disgusted though we may feel with all this uncertainty, we can hardly, at least, escape the conclusion that Robert Porter, of Alvechurch, the progenitor of the Edgbaston stock, was nearly akin 60 JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS : PART VII. to a contemporary Baldwin Porter, of Coventry. And that carries us another step backward in point of time, but again into doubt and darkness. For Birmingham records reveal that in the preceding century there was a Baldwin Porter, a substantial man, connected with the town, whose possession of such a combination of names leaves us with little room for doubt as to his kinship with any one else similarly christened. In 1482 "Bawdewyn Porter," of Birmingham, esquire, signed William Byrde's testimonial (Bickley and Hill's Survey of Birmingham in 1553, pp. ro, 14 ; and post, p. 99). I imagine him to be identical with the Baldwin Porter, esquire, who sold his right in the manor of Moseley, in the parish of Kings Norton, to Sir Thomas Littleton [1422-81], the famous jurist, in 1457.* This Baldwin Porter died in 1499, and was buried at Barston, in Warwick­ shire (midway between Birmingham and Coventry), with Anne, his wife, sister of Sir Thomas Littleton: she died in 1506 (see post, p. 71). The inscription to his memory describes him as "son and heir of Thomas Porter Esquire.'' t No doubt the keys which would solve the problem of all these puzzling relationships, or apparent relationships, lie hidden in some wills, or other records, and I cannot pretend to have probed very deeply into the question. There are records of Porters in Birmingham from 1322 onwards (see post, p. 99), but whether they were akin to the later family I cannot say.

* C. 54 (Close Roll) No. 307. (35 Henry VI.). Release and quitclaim by Baldwin Porter, Esq., for himself and his heirs, for ever, to Thomas Lyttylton, sergeant at law, of all the right and title which he has or may have in the manor of Moseley, with the appurtenances, within the lordship or vill of Kings Norton, co. Wore., and of all the lands, tenements, rents, reversions, services, meadows, pastures, woods, etc., within that lordship or vill of Kings Norton, so that neither he nor his heirs have any right or title in future to the same. Warranty clause. 5 May, 35 Henry VI. (1457). This release is made by the hand of the said Baldwin. And see Victoria County History of Worcestershire, III., 185. tSir Thomas Littleton was a son of Thomas Westcott, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Littleton of Frankley: he took his mother's name as well as her property. The inscription at Barston might almost read as if it were Baldwin's father, Thomas Porter, who had married Anne Littleton alias Westcott, and Collins's Peerage, ed. Brydges, 1812, VIII., 320, has taken it thus. But Bickley and Hill (post, p. 99) take Anne to be the wife of Baldwin Porter, and that is how I read it. For Littleton (or Lyttelton) pedigree see "Visitation of Worcestershire in 1569" (Harleian Soc., XXVII., 92) ; and Nash's Worcestershire, I., 493. THE JERVIS AND PORTER FAMILIES 6r As explained elsewhere, when Henry Porter of Edgbaston recorded his pedigree at the Visitation of r619, no arms were ascribed to the family (see post, p. 98). But on the monument in Edgbaston church their arms are displayed as, "Three Church Bells 1 and 2, a Canton ermine " (post, p. 71). Another Porter family whose pedigree was entered at the same Visitation of Warwickshire in 1619, Porter of Aston, bore arms, " Sable, three church bells argent " (Harleian Soc., XII., 116); while the arms ascribed to the family of Porter of Holling­ ton Grange, in Staffordshire, in the time of Charles II., were, " Sable, three church bells pendent argent" (ibid., XII., preface, p. x). Grazebrook, in his Heraldry of Worcestershire, II., 447-8, has these. notes on "Porter of Claines" :- At the Visitation of 1533 two coats were entered for Porter :-Sable, three bells a,ygent, and Azu'Ye, a Jesse argent /'Yetty vert. The former occurs on the tomb at Claines of John Porter, "which was a lawyer," who died in 1577. Penn ascribes to Porter of Claines, Argent, a fesse gules fretty or, in chief three bells sable. A family of Porter, now resident at Birlingham, bears, Sable, three church bells argent, a canton ermine. Crest: A portcullis argent chained or. There is no evidence of any relationship between the various Porter families mentioned and the Porters of Alvechurch and Edgbaston, but then, as now, people were prone to adopt the arms of others on the strength of the name alone. Henry Porter of Edgbaston, in the pedigree recorded at the r619 Visitation, gives his mother as Margaret, daughter of John Peyton, of Alvechurch (see post, p. 98). Thomas Porter and Margaret " Gest " were married at Alvechurch on 3 June 1562 (post, p. 66), and they were undoubtedly Henry's parents, so that it looks as if Margaret, like her husband, had been married before. I have the wills of two John "Paytons," of Tardebigge, which is only three miles from Alvechurch, the first dated 30 Sept. 1579, and proved 3 Dec. r579, at Worcester; and the second dated 18 May 1588, and proved 4 July 1588 at Bromsgrove (both now at Birmingham), but neither mentions any daughter Margaret, or son-in-law Porter. The second John, however, who is described as a yeoman, appoints as his overseers Thomas Porter. and Richard Geste, whose names are significant in this con- nex1on. JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS : PART VII.

The second defect in the pedigree is more vital, and affects some of my arguments and conclusions, for it concerns the exact place therein of Harry Porter, the first husband of Johnson's wife. Harry Porter was buried at Edgbaston on 3 August 1734 ( or September: see ante, V., 102-3, and post, p. 69), though his residence had been in Birmingham, where his children were baptized. And he was a son of Henry Porter, also a mercer in Birmingham, who again was buried at Edgbaston, on 30 September 1710 (post, p. 69), indicating that Edgbaston was regarded as their real home. The monument in the church there to Henry Porter, the father, tells us that he died 28 September 1710, aged 60 (post, p. 71), so that he must have been born about 1650. The problem concerns his parentage, as to which I can at present offer no direct evidence whatever. A study of the monument is instructive. For it first of all records that " Here ly the Bodies of Henry Porter Gent. & Wm. Porter his son Esqr.", with no dates, and no definition of their relationship to the Henry who died in 1710. However, it is scarcely conceivable that they were not related to him, and closely related. Moreover, we can say without fear of contradiction who the two undated persons were. The only member of the family who ever arrived at the dignity of "esquire" in any of the records collected was William Porter [1599 ?- 1633], of Edgbaston, who was the son and heir of Henry Porter [1570-1620], gent., the first of Edgbaston. So they must be the father and son commemorated. It will naturally be asked why no dates are attached to them. The answer is that the monument, as the character of the lettering indicates, belongs to the eighteenth century, and must have been erected to the memory of Henry Porter of Bir­ mingham, in 1710, when the dates of death of his two kinsmen were perhaps forgotten. It is evident that the family considered his connexion with them a matter for pride, or they would not have introduced them in such a gratuitous manner. Now we are left with the problem of the exact relationship between Henry Porter who died in 1710 and his earlier namesake. As already remarked, it must obviously have been close, to justify the common memorial, and there is no reasonable explanation of it except that the earlier Henry Porter was his grandfather, and William Porter, therefore, bis uncle. If this were not so, the relationship would have been too THE JERVIS AND PORTER FAMILIES distant to cause the linking of their names on a family memorial, especially after an interval of eighty or ninety years. Concluding, therefore, that the two Henrys stood in the relationship of grandfather and grandson, how can we supply the intermediate link between them? Henry Porter, the elder, who died in 1620, had four sons, a fact vouched for by his will (post, p. 72), as well as by the Yisitation pedigree (post, p. 98). William, the eldest, and the one commemorated by the inscription, married but left no child; Thomas, the second, a mercer at Bromsgrove, had a large family, but no Henry among them (see pedigree, post, pp. 105-7) ; while Robert, the third, had but two sons, Josiah and Samuel ; so that we are left only with Henry, the fourth and youngest, to credit with the parentage of Henry Porter, the Birmingham mercer, who died in 1710. Unfortunately, this Henry Porter, who was born about 1616 (see post, p. 109), remains very much of a mystery man. We know nothing definite about him, except that his father, in his will of 12 February 1618/9, leaves him certain land at Alvechurch called Church Leasowe, and £200 (post, p. 72); that in a Chancery suit of I February 1635/6 he is referred to as Henry Porter, of Cambridge, gent. (post, p. 79) ; that he was still alive on 31 January 1636/7 (post, p. 80); and that he was evidently the Henry Porter, gent., who in 1650 sold land at Gannow (post, p. 103), where his mother had purchased the manor in 1624 (post, p. 101). After that, he vanishes into space. We do not know what, a youth slightly under age, he was doing at Cambridge : there is no record of his having entered the University. It seems most likely that he \vas serving his apprenticeship there to some trade. The only record I have, from the area to which he belonged by birth and association, of any namesake with whom he might be identified, is that of the burial at Knowle, on 6 October 1694, of Henry Porter, gent., who had acted as churchwarden there in 1681, and whose son, no more precisely described than as" Mr. Porter," paid for his father's grave (see post, pp. 69, 100 ). All the evidence I have collected contains no suggestion of who this man could be unless the Henry Porter who was at Cambridge in 1636. Nor is there any evidence to suggest who his son was, unless Henry Porter, the Birmingham mercer, whose parentage we seek. Knowle, though not known actually as a Porter home, is only ten miles from Birmingham; and Thomas Norton, who married JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS : PART VII. the eldest Henry Porter's sister, Anne Porter, lived there; while another sister, Sarah Porter, was married to Samuel Eborall, of Balsall, quite a few miles away (see pedigree, post, pp. 108 -9). That Henry Porter of Knowle was the son of Henry Porter of Edgbaston, and the father of Henry Porter the Birmingham mercer, I can only offer as a conjecture; but that Henry Porter, the Birmingham mercer, was son to Henry Porter, the fourth and youngest son of Henry Porter of Edgbaston, seems a conclusion from which the evidence leaves us no escape. That I can as yet provide no direct evidence to prove the point is only one of the numerous instances of elusive family links that bring sorrow to the heart of the genealogical enquirer. At p. 280 of my Reades of Blackwood Hill and Dr. Johnson's Ancestry, I printed an abstract of the will of Sarah Allen, of Birming­ ham, spinster, made not long before her death in 1696. In this she mentioned her uncle Henry Porter, of Birmingham, mercer, and her aunt Sarah Porter, wife of her said uncle. This method of description suggested to me that Henry Porter was her actual uncle in blood­ her mother's brother-and his wife Sarah only her aunt by marriage ; and it seemed likely that by tracing Sarah Allen's parentage I might at least get nearer to solving my principal problem. Abstracts of all the wills of Allens in Birmingham or its vicinity, proved at Lichfield between 1660 and 1700, included that of her father, John Allen, of Birmingham, wire drawer, who died within a year or two of making his will in 1689. * He nominated his loving brother, Henry Porter, of Birmingham, mercer, as overseer, with his kinsman, Philip Allen, of the same, bellows maker.

Appraisers, John Cottrell, Rich. Clare, Sarah Porter and Edward Stephens. THE JERVIS AND PORTER FAMILIES were his wife, Alice, and his daughter, Sarah Allen. Now his description of Henry Porter as his "brother "-that is, his brother-in-law-leaves us in doubt whether Henry was his wife's brother or his sister's husband. But the nuncupative will of Dorothy Allen, of Birmingham, widow, made in 1668, mentions only her sons, John, Josiah and Samuel, and as it appears that the eldest was John Allen, of Birmingham, wire drawer,* the father of Sarah Allen, we infer that he had no sister, and therefore that Henry Porter was his wife's brother. It follows that Alice, the wife of John Allen, was born Alice Porter, and that if we could discover her parentage we should equally discover the parentage of her brother, Henry Porter. This broadens the front on which we can attack the problem. The will of Robert Smalbrooke, of Birmingham, mercer, dated II January 1671/2, and proved 24 June 1672 at Lichfield, was witnessed by John Allen and Hen: Porter. Corroboration of the cousinship between the Porters undoubtedly of the Edgbaston stock, and Henry Porter, the Birmingham mercer, is provided by the numerous marriage connexions that were formed between the descendants of both. I have already commented on these * DOROTHY ALLEN, of Birmingham, co. Warwick, widow, deed. Will date~ 21 Nov. 1668. She declared her will, that everyone of her sons, tha.t is to say, John, Josiah and Samuel Allen, should have a piece of gold. That her son Samuel should have £40 in the hands of Philip Allen, of B'ham, and £10 in the hands of her son Josiah, and a good bed and something else, which something else is considered to be something of furniture to a bed, and also a horse. That her son, John Allen, should enjoy her little house wherein she dwelt, and goods, cattle and debts to her belonging, he paying her debts. She declared that her son, Josiah Allen, hath a good and sufficient part and portion already. Wits., John Ensor, Philip Allen (mark) and Jane Frances (mark).

The will of Hanna Allen, of Erdington, spinster, dated 2 Aug. 1675, and proved 4 Nov. 1675, at Lichfield, appoints her bror., John Allen, sole exor., and makes bequests to the children of her sister, Elizabeth Heath. The will of Phillip Allen, of B'ham, bellows maker, who we have seen belonged to the same family, was dated 7 Sept., 1711, and proved 17 Dec. 171 1, at Lichfield, and mentions his wife Ruth but no children, his beneficiaries being John Allen, eldest son of his bror., john Allen, deed.

(ante, VI., 20-2r), and the tabular pedigree at the beginning of this volume illustrates them graphically. Further corroboration lies in the fact, evidenced by a Chancery suit of r697, that Josiah Porter, undoubtedly a scion of the Edgbaston family, had money dealings, in r69r and 1692, with " Cozen Henry Porter" (post, p. 86). And Henry Porter, of Birmingham, mercer, \vas a creditor of Josiah's younger brother, Samuel Porter, in 1696 (post, p. 84). Again, he held leases in Kings Norton (post, p. roo), where his (?uncle), William Porter, and(? grandfather), Henry Porter, had property (post, pp. 72, Sr). I tis also to be remarked that the Edgbaston family, in the previous genera­ tion, had already produced a mercer in Thomas Porter of Bromsgrove. A connexion with the family that I have not traced is evidenced by the following will :- NICHOLAS COOKE, of Birmingham, co. Warwick, clothworker. Will dated 25 Nov. 1618.

MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS EDGBASTON (slate slab inside the chuf'ch, let into the wall at the west end, by the entYance to the belfry. Mr. Philip B. Chatwin, F.R.I.B.A., of BiYmingham, who mentions the monument at p. 24 of his History of Edgbaston, 1914, has kindly sent me a photo­ graph of it. The late Mr. W. B.

Chatwin believes THE JERVIS AND PORTER FAMILIES 71 it was placed in its present position when the extension took place, in 1856, but doubts if it was ever outside, as its type is of an inside memorial.

About thirty-five years ago said Thomas Porter made his will bequeathing said lease to his son, William Porter, and appointed Robert Portef', his exor., who proved said will after Thomas's death, and said William entered into premises. About two years ago William made his will and bequeathed said burgage to complainant and made him his exor., and complainant proved the will and entered upon the premises. The said Will-iam Porter, having no certain habitation, being a serving man, about fifteen years ago delivered said lease to John Philipps to take care of, who, often requested, refuses to deliver same to

The discrepancies in some of the surnames, and the apparent omissions here and there in the lists, may be due to the 18th. century copyist, though his work looks thoroughly professional and should be accurate. An interesting letter written to Lucy Porter by her brother Joseph, at the outset of his independent commercial career, I owe to the kindness of Mr. Bergen Evans, of University College, Oxford, who copied it from the original in the possession of a descendant of Lucy's friend and legatee, the Rev. John Batteridge Pearson :- Madeira Novr. 26th. 1746. DEAREST SISTER I desired my friend J. Stevens to lett you know I was well arrived here & that I shoud write you p. first opportunity, not having time when I wrote him :-and got here from Lisbon the 24 Octo. after a tiresome Voyage tho very short for I was but five days from Falmouth to Lisbon & five days from Lisbon hither. Here I intend to stay two or three years at least & then come to England, where the greatest pleasure I propose to my self will be that of spending some time at Litchfield with you; you partly know what a.re my reasons for not coming while I was in England, But please God I live and succeed I shall not be under the restraints I have hitherto been, & shall be a little more my own master, & Nothing shall hinder me from going there; But first we must pray for success for both houses here & at London, which you may depend upon you shall feel in time. Our project is as fair a one & (? as) most people ever had both for this house and that of London where I have equally a fourth part, My partners I suppose you know or heared of, they are Mr. John Winds (who lately lived at Worscester a Gentlemn.) Mr. John Stevens, & Mr. Laye Stevens, Elder brother to John Stevens, the two first are to live in London & Laye Stevens & my self at Madeira But we shall take it by turns to come to England, one of us perhapps once every year, which will be very agreeable to us both, or else The time woud seem devilish long in such a place as this where there is but six or seven English Houses, & nobody else that one can converse with nor even with all these, so that one is almost as if one was by one self. I cannot represent to you the Dullness of the Island. Nothing but a good deal of Business can make one spend one's time & some times when no ships come in the best Merchts. are two or three months quite idle, & there is n~ such a thing as any diversions going forward, no going into the country 96 JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS : PART VII. easily, the hills are so prodigious high and the roads so cursed bad. Besides unless one goes to a Gentles. house there is no place where one can get shelter, even then one must be obliged to send every individual thing from the town so much as salt and an onion of which the country abounds, but yet none to be found in the country so that the trouble is greater than the pleasure. None but a Philosopher or a Romantick Lover could live here without business. Pity my situation and pray for my good Success. A great deal of Business will make me find it agreable not withstanding, & much more so the thoughts of going to England every now and then. I suppose our Aunt Hunter is with you by this time. Pray give my humble Duty to her and Love to Cozen Lucy. I shall be glad to hear how they do & if Lucy has got a husband yet. The Girls in this country get husbands before her age a good deal. Pray give my compliments to Mrs. Johnson ---- & believe me very sincerely Dearest (?) Lucy Your Affectionate brother & good freind JOS. PORTER. The letter is addressed:-" To I Miss Porter I At Mrs. Johnson's I in I Litchfield." Enclosed is a note for forwarding and directing, and asking her to date her letters, with a statement that this goes by a vessel bound to Ireland. In The Reades of Blackwood Hill and Dr. Johnson's Ancestry, p. 240, I said that Joseph Porter " died towards the end of 1783, probably in October." I can now speak definitely. Through the kindness of Mr. Montgomery Carmichael, of Leghorn, late British Consul there, and Mr. E. R. Seccombe, the present Consul, I have learned that the register of the Old British Church, handed over to the Registrar-General in London in 1908, contains the following entry:- Joseph Porter died the 19th. day of October 1783 and was buried the evening following by the German Clergyman at this Place. The Inscriptions in the Old British Cemetery of Leghorn, transcribed by Gery Milner-Gibson-Cullum, F.S.A., and the late Francis Campbell Macauley, with an introdu,ction by Montgomery Car1nichael, British Vice Consul at Leghorn, Leghorn, Raffaelle Giusti, 1906, pp. xxvii, 126, contains no record of any gravestone to Joseph Porter, so that if any ever existed it must have been destroyed. Probably, as he had no THE JERVIS AND PORTER FAMILIES 97 relatives near, no memorial was placed to him. Unfortunately, the archives of the Consulate at Leghorn were removed by the French in 1796, when they violated Tuscan neutrality, and have never been recovered. Mr. Carmichael kindly searched the copy letter books of the Governors of Leghorn, from 1768 to 1785, at the local Record Office, but without finding mention of Joseph Porter. . There is a problem in this same connexion which I have not been able to solve. A Robert Porter appears in Leghorn only a few years after Joseph's death, who we might be tempted to think was a relative, perhaps an illegitimate son, though no such person is mentioned in Joseph's will. He is represented in Leghorn today by his widowed great-granddaughter, Signora Pellegrini (nee Vittoria Porter, 1862 ), who was most kind in placing before Mr. Carmichael any records she possessed of the family, which include two bills of exchange, signed "Giuseppe Porter," both dated 15 Nov. 1782, and drawn in Italian on the London finn of Rivier and Crawley. Whether Giuseppe can have been our Joseph I have no idea. There is no evidence at all that Robert Porter was related to him. A holograph letter from Robert, dated 23 July 1789, addressed to his clerk, Giovanni Pensa, states that he is going to England to look after his affairs: it is written in correct Italian, and suggests that he had been some years in the country. Probably he married on this trip home, for the eldest of his eleven children was born at Pisa on 21 March 1790, and the register of the Old British Church referred to contains this entry:- Robert Porter, 1nerchant, native of England, residing at Leghorn, and Pattee (l\1aiden name Mitchell), native also of England, being formerly joined together in I-Ioly Matrimony according to the rites and ceremonies of the Church of England as by law established, have consented to have the ceremony rcncwccl for the satisfaction of all parties this 7th. February 1811, in the Chapel of the Protestant Society at Leghorn. ROBERT PORTER by PATTEE MITCHELL TI-IOS. HALL. Robert Porter, by 1796, ,vas senior partner in the firm of Porter and H uddart, and Signora Pellegrini possesses their claim for damage and confiscation of goods by the French invasion of that year. He died at Leghorn on 23 June 1813, and his widow, Pattee, in November 1842: he was buried in the Old British Cemetery and she in the ?~e·w, but there are no gravestones. Signora Pellegrini has portraits of them both. 98 JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS : PART VII. There is another complication. For among the burials in the same register is the following:- Wilhelmina late wife of Robert Porter of Leghorn (daughter of the late Robert Porter of Civitavecchia and Mary his wife) died at Leghorn on 22nd. September, 1821, and buried in English Burial Ground. This must refer to a namesake, for a gravestone records that the child mentioned as born in 1790 was of Robert and Pattee. Signora Pellegrini's father, Roberto Porter [1832-1908], of Leghorn, was the elder surviving son of Robert Henry Anthony Porter [1791-1862], an average adjuster at Leghorn, who was the eldest son of Robert and Pattee, whose eleven children were plentifully supplied with Christian names. A seal in her possession bears the familiar three bells used in the arms of various branches ·of the Porter family (see ante, p. 61).

Bickley and Joseph Hill, 1887, are a number of references to the Porter family, which, though sometimes lacking in precision, contain original information:- p. 10. " Bawdewyn Porter," of Birmingham, occurs 1482. p. 14. (" Henry Feild holds four tenements, 'late Porters ' "). The Porter family had existed in and about Birmingham for nearly three centuries, and the name of Robert occurs in this Survey, but only in respect of land in the Foreign. He had however formerly held a burgage in Edgbas­ ton Street, and land in that street was long known as Porters. The absence of the name among the town property holders is remarkable, as during the next century the Porters played an important part in the history of the town, holding besides property in Dig beth (Street), and Edgbaston Street, the Blade Mill in Digbeth. It was the holder of this mill, Robert Porter, known as Captain Porter, who in the year 1643 wrote the celebrated and oft printed letter from Coventry, as to Prince Rupert's attack upon Birmingham, on which occasion he shews he was present and took part in the defence of the town. He says "Denby pursued Captain Greaves' Troope some two miles out of towne, being at their heeles before our troope departed, among whom I went away," and also "the malignant are so enraged they have since pulled down my mill, and threaten to pull down my house and divers others." The possibility of the Porters holding their land in Edgbaston Street entirely free of any payment of rent in money or in kind to the Lord of the Manor, renders the omission of the name from the Survey worthy of special notice. The Porters long continued in business in the town and became somewhat numerous. p. 84. The connection of the Porters with Birmingham was a very long one. In 1322, John le Porter, with William le Mercer, Walter de Clodshale, Adam le Dextere, and Adam Godfrey, clerk, witnessed a deed relating to a messuage lying between the way which leads (etc., etc.). This John the Porter was assessed in the subsidy of 1327, and in 1330 served on the Freeholders' Jury on the foundation of Walter Clodshale's Charity; in 1365 a John Porter was upon the Coroner's Jury in the murder of William Moul of Birmingham. In 1407 and 1422 a William Porter's name is found in Deeds of a property in Moor Street, and in other deeds of about that date down to 1426. In 1482, Bawdewyn Porter signed William Byrde's testimonial, and in 1499 Bawdewyn Porter, son and heir of Thomas Porter, was buried at Barston Chapel, and in 1506, his wife Anne, who was the sister of Sir Thomas Lyttelton of Frankley. There are few traces of the Porters in Birmingham during the 16th. century, ...... In 1547, Robert Porter held a house in Edgbaston Street under the Gild, which house had not passed to the Free School, for by a subsequent Survey, temp. Eliz., entitled " A Schedule of the Rents of the late Gild of Birmingham," the first item is "of the heirs of Robert Porter for a chief rent going out of a house in Edgbaston Street.,, H IOO JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS : PART VII.

A Julian Porter, in 1593, married William Walker at St. iviartin's; and Robert Porter, in 1597, Ann Whittall at Aston. In 1528 William Porter was appointed Trustee of a marriage settlement, and 1640-41, Robert Porter was appointed Trustee of Kilcuppe or. Fields Charity, and of Lench's Trust ...... he was doubtless the Robert Porter who converted the Corn Mill built about 1549 by William Askereck to a Blade Mill, and who played such an important part in the defence of the town against Prince Rupert ...... the " T-rue na-r-rat·ion," printed on the 1st. May says, " Mr. Porter's Blade Mill, which cost £100 erecting, and where sword blades were made only for the service of the Parliament, was pulled down," other accounts state that 15,000 swords were sent by the town for the Earl of Essex' forces. Robert Porter, who died before 1650, appears to have purchased from one William Colmore, gentleman, a meadow near the Rhea ...... In 1697, Samuel Porter, long cutler, Josiah Porter his brother, and Henry Porter his eldest son, held the same with land at Holloway Head called the Pagetts...... Subsequent incidents connected with the Porter family include the victory of Robert Porter over Colonel Fox (Tinker Fox) in resisting his oppressive levies. Their land in Edgbaston was near Elvetham Road, Joseph Porter held it in 1766. The Birmingham Porters held land in King's Norton Manor, and in 1697 Henry Porter of Birmingham, mercer, claimed certain goods, viz.:-foure pewter dishes, five pollinger dishes, one warming pan, fower plates, and a sauser, one old brasse pott, two cheires, one old spitt, four old curtaines, two old sheets, two old blancketts, one old cradle rugg, thirty pounds of wooll, one old burden blanckett, one old pillow, one old pewer gunn, seized as the goods of James Pococke, of Moseley.

Read kindly sends me the following extracts from Notes and Queries for Bromsgrove:- Vol I. (p. 78). Bromsgrove assessment of 1690 :- Mary Porter wd. 0-1-0. (p. 79). Notes on Bromsgrove Parish made by John Lacey, 1778 :­ '' On the south wall of the chancel is a stone erected to the memory of Mr. Sam1 Porter, who dyed in 1703, and left his lands to the Poor of Bromsgrove for 99 years {see table of gifts to the poor)." (p. 81). do. "Mr. Saml. Porter gave his Estates in the Parish of Stoke Prior to the poor of the parish of Bromsgrove as have no weekly pay, for 99 years (The rents then were 56£-11s.-8d. but now they are 113£-3s.-4d. pr year) Mr. Porter dyed in November, 1703." (p. 83). Bromsgrove assessment, 1690 :- Wm. Porter junr and his wife 0-2-0 Wm. Porter, sen., and his daughter 0-2-0 (pp. 88-9). "The Ganow manor was antiently part of Kings-Norton wood: And was granted by Henry 5th to one Lloyde, whose heirs sold it to Sr Phillip Fermer, his heirs to ...... (blank) Jolliefe, Esqr, and his heirs in Cromwell's time to ...... (blank) Porter of Birmingham, and his heirs sold it to the Jolliefes again in whose family it still continues " (19 Dec. 1908). The Victoria County History of Worcestershire, under Bromsgrove, tells us, in connexion with the manor of Gannow, that "in 1624 Thomas and Robert Lloyd and William Porter conveyed it to Anne Porter, a widow" (III., 26). Among the disclaimers at the Visitation of Worcestershire in 1682-3 occurs the name of " William Porter, Bromsgrove " (Graze­ brook's Heraldry of Worcestershire, II., 703). Joseph, son of William Porter, of Bromsgrove, pleb., matriculated from Pembroke College, Oxford, on 25 May 1677, aged 17 (Foster's Alumni Oxonienses). William issued a trade token for a halfpenny in 1668, on the obverse "WILLIAM PORTER - - - HIS HALF PENY," and on the reverse "IN BROMSGROVE 1668 W.P. 1/2 " (Bromsgrove Church, by 102 JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS : PART VII. William A. Cotton, p. 93). Among printed sermons listed in the same work (p. 120) is the following :- J. PORTER, of Aulcester. A Caution against Youthful Lusts, in two dis­ courses, occasion'd by the Death of Mr. Thomas Webb, who departed this life July 18th, 1708, and requested upon his death bed that Youth might be wam'd to avoid those Lusts that he had found more bitter than Death. Preached at Bromsgrove in Worcestershire, and published at the Desire of the Youth that heard it. (footnote). The preacher was a native of Bromsgrove, but there is nothing in the book to prove that the sermon was actually preached in the church. It was sold by John Halford, at his Hand and Pen, in Bromsgrove. Dugdale's Warwickshire, ed. William Thomas, 1730, p. 771, tells us that in Alcester church was a monument to " Matthew Bridges of this Town Gent, who departed this life June 8th 1677. Aged 57. Also of Ann his wife, who departed this life April 15th 1695 Aged 71." These would be the parents of Martha Bridges, who married the above Joseph Porter. A pedigree of Tyndall, by B. W. Greenfield, in The Genealogist for 1878 (II., 375), gives the only son of Joseph Tyndall, of Bewdley, by Mary his wife, daughter of Richard Clare, of Bewdley, as another Joseph Tyndall, of Bewdley, died 23 April 1763, aged 75, married Rebecca Porter, who died 21 July 1751, aged 52, whose descendants were solicitors in Birmingham. Burke's Landed Gentry, 1853, gives a detailed pedigree of "Willington of Hurley," shewing Thomas Willington, of Hurley, who in 1599 married Alice, daughter of his uncle, John Willington, and had "Waldyve Willington, Esq., his heir, bapt. 18 April, 1600. He was an active parliamentarian and governor of Tamworth Castle, which had fallen into the hands of Cromwell. He m. 27 Oct. 1630, Joane Porter, of Edgbaston, and d. in 1676, having two sons and three daus.". The "Visitation of Warwickshire 1682-83" (Harleian Soc., vol. 62, p. 60} shews "Waldive Willington of Hurley in corn. Warr: born a0 1600 obijt 17 Apr. 1677," with a wife "Joan daur. of Hen. Parker [sic] of Edgbarston in com. Warr:." See also C. F. R. Palmer's History of Tamworth Church, 1871, pp. 119-23, for a pedigree of the Willingtons. There are two letters of 8 Mch. 1643/4 and Apl. 1644 from Waldyve Wyllington, Governor of Tamworth, to the Earl THE JERVIS AND PORTER FAMILIES I03 of Denbigh (Historical MSS. Commission, r7th Report, Earl of Denbigh MSS., Part V., 1911, p. 76). A paper on Aston church, by Allen E. Everitt, 1872 (Transactions of the Birmingham and Midland Institute, Archreological Section, p. 2r), gives the following extract from the churchwardens' accounts there:- 1691. "March 24 paid Mr. Henry Porter for cloth & silke £ring to make a carpet for the Communion Table 03.05.07." The Colemore pedigree recorded at the " Visitation of Warwickshire in 1619" (Harleian Soc., vol. 12, p. 335) shews "Willm's Colemore de Bremingham" as married to "Anna filia Will'mi Finey de Canke in Com. Staff.," with one son, another William, and eight married daughters, one of them being " Anna nupta Hen. Porter de Edgbaston in Com. War." (See COLMORE pedigree, post, p. 121).

NARRATIVE PEDIGREE OF COLMORE OF BIRMINGHAM (See ante, VI.,"'6, 16) The Colmores, connected with the Porters (ante, p. 105), were one of the great families of Birmingham, and the name is still kept familiar there by the well known business avenues of Colmore Row and Great Colmore Street. There are also a number of streets bearing the Christian names of various members of the family, Edmund Street, Great Charles Street, Lionel Street, Mary Ann Street, George Street, Caroline Street, and perhaps others. There used to be also Ann Street and Little Charles Street, obliterated some time ago. Cregoe Street marks the change of ownership when the Colmores died out in the first half of the nineteenth century. No other family has its name written over Birmingham to the same extent (see '' Table Talk,'' in the Birmingham Mail for 26 June 1920). Their long association with the town, their rise to wealth, and their eventual disappearance, makes their history well worth recording, apart from their relation to any special J ohnsonian enquiry. 112 JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS : PART VII. No pedigree of the family has been printed before, excepting the early scrappy ones in the Visitations of Warwickshire and Durham. My pedigree is principally based upon the various wills cited, and upon the registers of St. Martin's, Birmingham, ,vhich have been printed in two volumes from their commencement in 1554 to 1708. All baptisms, marriages and burials in the pedigree are from St. Martin's, unless otherwise specified. I may add that the pedigree absorbs all the baptisms and marriages there for the whole period mentioned ; naturally there are, as always, a number of burials which cannot be identified with certainty. The registers of St. Mary's, Warwick, were kindly searched for me, at short notice, by Mr. E.G. Tibbits, from their commencement in 1611, down to about 1770. In this case the entries were not very numerous, and all connect with the pedigree. Mr. Philip B. Chatwin, F.R.I.B.A., a well known authority, has supplied me with notes on the Colmore monuments (such as they are) at St. Martin's. Mr. H. M. Cashmore, the City Librarian of Birmingham, has been at much trouble to give me particulars of the extensive collection of Colmore papers that came under his care in 1931, when the Trustees of the Colmore Estate instructed their lawyer to hand over to the Reference Library such of the documents and deeds as were not required for immediate use. Unfortunately, they do not go back earlier than 1676, so that the pre-Warwick deeds must have been lost or fallen into other hands. A sketchy modem pedigree, beginning with William Colmore of Warwick, who died in 1675, accompanies the collection, and supplies a few useful particulars of later generations. A thorough examination of all the papers, which there has not been time to undertake (this pedigree having been constructed at the last moment before sending my MS. to the printer) would probably reveal fresh detail, for they include not merely deeds, but also wills, plans of the estates, burial certificates, letters and miscellaneous papers. The crux of the pedigree lay in the difficulty of proving that the said William CoJmore, of Warwick (whose will has not been traced), was identical with William Colmore who was born at Birmingham in 1602. The evidence concerning the two figures seemed to dovetail together in so many ways that little room was left for doubt, especially as there THE JERVIS AND PORTER FAMILIES II3 was no other contemporary who could not be distinguished from them. But proof was lacking until the entry of the marriage of William Colmore to Elizabeth Wagstaffe at Warwick in 1623 sho,ved him to be no other than the William Colmore mentioned in a Chancery suit of 1638-9, in connexion with Birmingham Grammar School, as having married his first wife Elizabeth in 21 James I., whose identity with the William Colmore born in 1602 is in those proceedings made evident. The arms of Colmore, as registered at the Visitation of Warwick­ shire in 1619, were, " Gules, billettee and three crescents or ;" crest, "A Moor's head couped in dexter profile proper wreathed gules and or " -and at the Visitation of Durham in 1615, " Gules, billettee and three crescents or, a crescent charged with a mullet for difference;" crest, "A negro's head wreathed erminois and gu." The monument at Wanvick to William Colmore who died in 1675 also has the arms '' billettee 3 crescents;'' as again has the one to his son William in 1723. The arms on the monument at Finchley to Charles Colmore who died in 1732 are given as " Billety and 3 crescents impaling a chevron between 3 bits." The Colmores can claim a number of Johnsonian connexions. Harry Porter, the first husband of Mrs. Johnson, descended from the marriage of Henry Porter to Ann Colmore in 1594, as did also a large number of other people with Johnsonian associations, shown on the frontispiece-pedigree. And, as explained elsewhere (ante, p. 55), it was through the Colmores settling at Warwick and becoming friendly with the J ervises that the fuse was lit which eventually led to Johnson marrying the widow of the Colmore's cousin, Harry Porter of Birm­ ingham. William Colmore, M.P. for Wanvick, was a trustee of William Jervis's will in 1695, and he and his son, the younger William, himself afterwards M.P. for Warwick, were trustees of the re-settlement of the Jervis estates in 1703, which determined the amount of the fortune that "Tetty" was later on to bring in marriage to Johnson. From the marriage of Thomas Smalbroke to Elizabeth Colmore in 1570 descended the John Smalbroke who was guardian to Johnson's grandfather, Cornelius Ford, in 1651 ; Richard Smalbroke, who was Bishop of Lichfield from 1731 to 1749, father of" Dr. Smalbroke of the Commons," whom Johnson requested Dr. Adams to consult regarding the qualifications required of an advocate, and of Catherine Smalbroke, 114 JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS : PART VII. who married Johnson's fellow-collegian, William Vyse, in 1733, as well as of her sister Mary, who married Edmund Bateman, the Christ Church tutor whose reputation Johnson rated so highly (ante, III., 35; IV., 39 ; V., 13-14, 210 ; VI., 115-16, 129). It is remarkable that the Colmores, with the immense families they produced for generation after generation, should have become extinct, at any rate in the elder male line, which is followed here to its conclusion.

The curious way in which a rather uncommon Christian name sometimes acquires a vogue in a particular neighbourhood is well illustrated in Birmingham during the 16th. and 17th. centuries, where a number of the leading families, such as Philips, Colmore, Jennings, Foxall, Freeman and Rotton, all showed an inclination to have sons called Ambrose.

John Peake, of Birmingham, gent., Governor of the Grammar School in 1661/2, who was burd. 21 Oct. 1663, in his will dated 16 Oct. 1663 and proved 7 Nov. 1663, in P.C.C., mentions " my brother-in-law William Colmore and Elizabeth his wife," "my cosen Sarah Colmore," "my cosen Mary Colmore (another daughter of William and Elizabeth)," "my cosen Elizabeth Colmore eldest daughter of William," "my loving sister Elizabeth Colmore," "my mother Colmore," "my brother-in-law Abraham Colmore," "Abraham Colmore the elder," "Elizabeth, Mary and Sarah Colmore daughters of my brother-in-law William Colmore," and "my sister Mary Colmore." It seems clear that he must have mard. a Colmore, at first one would say a daughter of Ambrose Colmore whose children are here enumerated. But he THE JERVIS AND PORTER FAMILIES rr9 mentions his "mother Colmore," whereas Ambrose's widow, as we have seen, died in or before 1645. He mard. first, in Dec. 1657, Sarah Billingsley, who was burd. on 24 May 1658. His second wife, apparently a Colmore, was burd. 20 July 1663 (Christian name not given in register), after the birth of a dau. Eleanor, bapt. 18 June 1663, who herself was burd. 17 Oct. 1663. Mr. Fowler Carter has discussed the problem of whichofthe Colmores John Peake mard., but without coming to a conclusion (Dugdale Soc., XII., 230-33). It is clear that the account I give here of Ambrose Colmore's family is neither complete nor perfect. None of the Colmore wills mention the Peake connexion. V.

Elizabeth, dau. of John Shelton, of Birmingham, mercer (by Barbara his wife, dau. of Francis Stanley, of West Bromwich, by Winifred his wife, dau. of Thomas Middlemore, Lord of the Manor of Edgbaston), and sister of Sir Richard Shelton, Solicitor-General to Charles I. In her will, dated 4 Oct. 1616, and proved 29 Apl. 1618, in P.C.C., she mentions only one child, her dau. Barbara Devereux, and that dau.'s eldest son, Edward Devereux. Thomas Colmore, too, had left £5 to " my daughter Barbara," whom at first I took without question to be their dau., a Colmore. But some old letters from the late W. B. Bickley reminded me that it was Barbara (bapt. 15 Aug. 1593, at Yardley), dau. of Robert Smalbroke, of Yardley, gent., who mard. Henry Devereux, on 20 Sept. 1614, at Sheldon, co. Warw. It was therefore clear that Thomas Colmore's wife, Elizabeth Shelton (bapt. 30 Nov. 1568, at St. Martin's, Birmingham), must have been the widow of Robert Smalbroke, who was a son of Richard Smalbroke, of Yardley, co. Wore., and of Ravenhurst, Bordesley, par. of Aston-juxta-Birmingham, and a nephew of the Thomas Smalbroke who had mard. Thomas Colmore's aunt, Elizabeth Colmore, in 1570. Robert Smalbroke and Elizabeth Shelton were mard. 22 Sept. 1589, at St. Martin's, Birmingham. Henry Devereux, who was a younger son of Sir Edward Devereux, of Castle Bromwich, co. Warw., 1st bart., by Katherine his wife, dau. of Edward Arden, of Park Hall, co. Warw.; a grandson of Walter, 1st. Viscount Hereford; and a brother of Walter, 5th. Viscount Hereford, is said to have died without issue, in which case his son Edward cannot have survived. After Henry Devereux's death, his widow Barbara seems to have mard. Aylmer Foliot, of Blakeley Hall, Yardley, son of Sir John Foliot, knt., by Elizabeth his wife, dau. of John Aylmer [1521-94], Bishop of London ; he was the donor of a bell to Yardley church in 1638, was burd. at Yardley on 21 Jan. 1677 /8, and his widow Barbara on 23 Sept. 1679. Their eldest child, John Foliot, was bapt. 20 Dec. 1622, at Yardley, and probably died young, for the only son named in the pedigree is another Aylmer Foliot, who is said to have died unmard. My authorities for these connexions, apart from some particulars supplied by Mr. Bickley, and information about the Smalbrokes in my own possession, are as follows ;-Nash's Worces­ tershire, II., 258; Dugdale's Warwickshire, 2nd. ed., 1765, p. 613; Burke's Peerage, under "Hereford;" Mary Willett's West BYomwich, THE JERVIS AND PORTER FAMILIES I2I

Will dated 12 May 1794, with codicil of 15 Aug. 1794, proved 27 Feb. 1795, in P.C.C. Under the codicil, if his son Lionel and dau. Caroline died without issue, then all his property was to go to his friend Lord Hertford, or his son, Lord Yarmouth, not only as a mark of attachment to Lord Hertford but also because of his dear daughter Mary Anne's affection for her friend, Lady Hertford. Mard. 29 Apl. 1760 Mary, dau. of Joseph Gulston, of Westminster, esq., and of Mary his wife, and sister to Joseph Gulston, M.P. for Poole, co. Dorset; died 22 (?) Aug. 1798, aged 60; burd. at Hendon, co. M'sex. By her, whose will, dated 17 Oct. 1795, with codicil of Jan. 1797, was proved 20 Aug. 1798, in P.C.C., Charles Colmore had issue, I. Charles Colmore, of the 10th. Regt. of Light Dragoons; died 10 Sept. 1785, unmard. ; burd. at Hendon, co. M'sex. His father, on 12 May 1794, left £50 a year for life to Mrs. Catherine Matthey" for her affec­ tionate and tender attention to my dear son Charles during his last illness," and his mother (on 17 Oct. 1795), twenty guineas to "Mrs. Matthey, late Mademoiselle Moser.'' II. Lionel Colmore, of Upper Seymour St., Marylebone, M'sex, esq.; died 24 Mch. 1807, unmard.; burd. at St. Marylebone. Will dated 8 Jan. 1807, proved 15 Apl. 1807, in P.C.C. I.

11. Caroline Colmore; born 22 Dec. 1766; bapt. Jan. 1767, at St. James's, Westminster; died 8 Jan. 1837, unmard.; burd. at Charlton Kings, co. Glouc. Sold Humphreston, par. of Donington, co. Salop, to George Jones, esq. Her will, as of Charlton House, co. Glaue., dated I Dec. 1826, with codicils of 14 Aug. 1828, 27 Sept. 1828 and 7 Nov. 1835 (then of Moor End, co. Glouc.), was proved 21 Jan. 1837, in P.C.C. The will makes Frind Cregoe, of Charlton House, her universal legatee and exor., and the first codicil specifies legacies to her god-dau., Marianne Cregoe, dau. of Capt. Cregoe ; her godson, Colmore Frind Cregoe ; Emma, Harriet and Charlotte Cregoe ; and all the children Frind Cregoe may have. The second codicil cites a deed of 21 Nov. 1826, by which the Marquis of Hertford joined with others in settling upon her properties in Birmingham for life, and she gives same to the said Frind Cregoe, who has now taken name of Colmore by Royal Licence. I cannot say to what extent Lord Hertford had actually benefited under the codicil to her father's will, but he and Caroline Colmore had joint ownership of some of the Colmore property in 1794 and 1807. No doubt the deeds in the Birmingham Reference Library would settle the question, which does not specially concern me here. Frind Cregoe, who mard. Elizabeth Sarah Roberts in 1813, assumed the name of Colmore, and died in 1839, was third son of Edward Cregoe, of Trewithian, co. Cornwall, and apparently not related to the Colmores. His only surviving son, Colmore Frind Cregoe-Colmore [1827-71], succeeded him at Moor End, Charlton Kings (Burke's Landed Gentry, 9th. ed., 1898, '' Cregoe-Colmore of Moor End''). The Colmore property brought the family great wealth, but did not ensure their continuance in the male line, for William Barwick Cregoe-Colmore [1860-1918], only surviving son of the preceding, died without issue. After some litigation, his will was eventually proved for £1,147,925 gross, and £573,909 net (Times, 23 June 1920). Apart from some bequests, the property was willed to his three sisters or their issue.

THE EBORALLS OF BALSALL (See ante, VI., 16, 20)

THE Eboralls established several connexions with the kindred of Johnson and his wife, through marriages with the Porter, Chambers and Lucas families. With the Porters there were two marriages. The strange thing is that the Eboralls had intermarried with relatives of 126 JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS : PART VII. both Johnson and his wife, long before he met her, yet their meeting seems to have been quite independent of such common links. I am sorry that a good deal of enquiry, along various lines, has not enabled me to present an accurate account of the family and descendants of Samuel Eborall and Susanna Porter. Every clue proved elusive, and this side of the pedigree fades out in doubt and obscurity, though happy chance might at anytime give it definite form. The other line of the family, connected with Atherstone, probably has representatives living today, but I have not made a great effort to trace them, as they are not important for my purpose. Mr. A. W. Read tells me that William Eborall, of Atherstone, gent., was admitted an Honorary Freeman of Leicester on 4 Aug. 1768. There were Eboralls in Lichfield at the close of the 18th. century, who I expect were descendants of the Balsall family. Harriet, daughter of Samuel Eborall, gent., was buried at St. Chad's, Lichfield, on 23 Aug. 1795 ; and John, son of Samuel Eborall, mercer, on 14 Feb. 1803 (suicide). And Henry, son of Mr. Samuel Eboral, of Lichfield, aged 12, was admitted to Rugby School on 13 May 1808 (Rugby School Register, 1886, I., 99). "Mr. Samuel Eberall" was a member of the Corporation of Lichfield, and "Eborall, Samuel, Draper and Grocer," simultaneously appears among the traders of the town (Universal British Directory, 1792). I have already printed evidence relating to the Eboralls in The Reades of Blackwood Hill and Dr. Johnson's Ancestry, pp. 232, 233 and 280, while at pp. 240 and 243 are references to the Fisher and Gilbert families. And at ante, IV., 73, 77 and 89 are further Eborall references, which must also be consulted in support of the pedigree. There are other entries relating to contemporary Eboralls in the Hampton-in-Arden registers, but I have eliminated everything that does not bear upon the main branch with which I deal.

MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS AT HAMPTON-IN-ARDEN The following copies of the inscriptions to the Eboralls in the church of Hampton-in-Arden were kindly sent me in r934 by the Vicar, the Rev. R. C. J. B. Colthurst. The first, and oldest, of these inscriptions is on an alabaster monument above the pulpit, and a version of it printed in Dugdale's Warwickshire, 2nd ed. 1730, p. 957, agrees in all essentials with the one I give below:- M.S.

JOSIAH EBRALL WILLIAM EBRALL 24 Nov: 1683. From a long and detailed note attached to the pedigree, by Gregory King, Rouge-Dragon, I extract the following portion relating to the generations in which we are interested (ibid., vol. 62, p. 147) :- [William Eborall] left issue of many Sons only Richard surviving, who after many years spent in the University of Oxford and having been Secretary to the Bishop of Chichester, who was Privy Councellor at that time to Queen Elizabeth; in the first year of King James [1603-4] married Mary daughter of William Howell of Packwood in the County of Warwick Gent, & Sister unto Thomas Howell, Fellow of New College in Oxford, as being a kinsman unto the Founder ; upon which Marriage the Descendents of the aforesaid Richard Ebrall and Mary his wife have a right unto the Schole of Winchester and unto New Colledge in Oxford as Founders Kinsmen ; the said Mary being daughter to William Howell aforesaid who married Prudence daiir of John Davers son of John Davers alias Danvers of Culworth in the County of Northampton Esqr who married Elizabeth Fines daiir of Richard Fines who was son & heir unto Henry Fines Lord Say who died 16 Edw. 4 (1476-77] By whom they are descended from Agnes sister and heir unto William of Wickham Bp. of Winchester & Lord Chanceior of England Founder of Winchester Schoole and of New Colledge in Oxford, as the Pedigree inserted doth shew. Which Richard Ebrall died March 8th 1616 leaving issue surviving only Samuel Ebrall born 8 Dec. 1608 who after some years spent in Grayes lnne, married Sarah daiir of Henry Porter of Egbaston in the County of Warwick gentn which Samuel in the 12th [1660-61] and 14th years [1662-3] of the Reign of his present Majesty King Charles the Second was in Comission of the Peace for the County of Warwick and in severall other Comissions for the said County during the said time (lived many years in Balsall) and died a 0 1677, having issue Josiah, John, Samuell, William.

William 4th son of the first aforesaid Samuel Ebrall now living at Balsall in the County of Warwick a 0 1682 aged 38, married Elizabeth the only daiir of Robert Beake of the Citty of Coventry Gent. by whom he hath issue, Samuell born 13 Jan: 1668, Elizabeth born 17 July 1667, Mary aet: II, a 0 1682, Katherine aetat: 5, a 0 1682. The pedigree itself is more explicit and shows the descent of the Eboralls rrom Agnes, wife of William Champness, and sister and heir of William of Wykeham [1324-1404]. The Bishop of Chichester to whom Richard Eborall acted as Secretary sometime after leaving Oxford (and evidently after his marriage) was Lancelot Andrewes [1555-1626], who became Privy Councillor for England in 1609 (Diet. Nat. Biog.), not his predecessor, Anthony Watson [d. 1605], with whom I wrongly identified him at a previous reference (ante, VI., 16). Richard Ebrall, of co. Warwick, "Gen. Cond.," matriculated from Hart Hall on 21 June 1583, aged 17, but Foster gives no record of his having proceeded to a degree (Alumni Oxonienses). The following are various extracts throwing light on the pedi- gree:- i67o. Aug. 15.

NARRATIVE PEDIGREE OF LUCAS The fact that two of Mrs. Johnson's relatives, one through her father and one through Harry Porter, intermarried independently with the Lucas family of Guilsborough, makes an explanatory pedigree necessary. There were two other branches of the family living near Guilsborough at the time, at Nortoft and Hollowell, and so distinguished in the Guilsborough registers, but I have left them alone. I was puzzled for some time by Foster's assertion that Henry Lucas, the barrister from Guilsborough, was buried in The Temple on 22 July 1663, whereas all my evidence identified him with the Henry Lucas who died at Guilsborough in 1680. It was not till I found that it was a more celebrated Henry Lucas, founder of the Lucasian Pro­ fessorship at Cambridge, and no relation to the Guilsborough family, who was so buried in The Temple (see Diet. Nat. Biog. and Venn's Alumni Cantabrigienses), that I could straighten out the tangle. The authorities for the pedigree are, extracts from the Guilsborough registers, from 1657 to 1740, kindly made by Mr. A. W. Read; the various wills cited; Venn's Alumni Cantabrigienses (Thomas Herrick); Nichols's Leicestershire, IV., 122 (Bradgate pedigree) ; Burke's Landed Gentry, 1853 (" Ward of Guilsborough "); Baker's Northants., I., 298,459 (pedigree of Adams of Charwelton); Bridge's Northants., I., 568 (inscriptions to Lucases), and II., 133 (Ward inscriptions); Foster's Alumni Oxonienses (Lucas and Ward) ; and information re Bradgate family from Mr. Edwin Holthouse, F.R.C.S., of London.

THE NORTON FAMILY OF WARWICK (See ante, VI., 16, 20-21)

FROM a Latin inscription on a marble monument against the east wall of the south transept of St. Mary's Church at Warwick, near the chancel arch, it appears that John Norton, "senescallus" (steward} and deputy recorder of Warwick, died 14 Sept. 1635, and his wife Israel, daughter of Thomas Woodward, of Bull Marston, co. Warwick, gent., on 29 Nov. 1615 ; that Anne, daughter of Henry Porter, of Edgbaston, gent., and widow of Thomas Norton (who was buried at Knowle, co. Warwick), only son of said John and Israel, died 14 May 1698 and was buried near them; and that the epitaph to John Norton, destroyed by fire in r694, was replaced by his grand­ sons, John and Edward Norton, in 1709. The arms on the monument 144 JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS: PART VII. are given as :-"Ar. on a bend cotised between 3 lions rampant sa. 3 escallops of the field" (Le Neve's Monumenta Anglicana, I., 163; Dugdale's Warwickshire, 2nd. ed. 1730, p. 441 ; Notices of the Church of St. Mary, and the Beauchamp Chapel, Warwick, Warwick, 1845, pp. 4g-5o). The rest of the family story, so far as it concerns us, is told, if not very completely, by the wills and extracts from registers that follow. The Records of Knowle, by T. W. Downing, r914, prints the present­ ment for the Poll Tax at Knowle in 1660, including the following (p. 387) :- Chessett Wood End per annum Thomas Morton, gent., in terris 077-00-00 I-IO-IO Anne the wife of the said Thomas o-o-6 Mr. Downing, the Vicar, and author of the work, admitted to me that Morton was a misprint for Norton. The churchwardens' accounts which he prints also have references to the family:- p. 214 (1675) pd. Mr. Norton for mending the clock o-8--o p. 217 (1676/7) February 7th sending for Mr. Norton 0-00-2 spent in company of Mr. Norton & others o-oo--8 p. 218 May 24th 1677 pd.

Mr. Edward Norton due to him since 1676 0-03-8 The fact that Edward Norton, coming of what we might today consider upper middle class stock, was a watchmaker in Warwick, and apparently going out himself to mend church clocks, admirably illustrates what I have often pointed out before (cf. ante, VI., 15), that it is most difficult to compare social positions then and now in terms of business occupation. The late Mr. W. B. Bickley sent me the following extract from the Kings Norton Chief Rents, 1666, under " Lea Yeald ":- Edw. Norton pro Wichall 12s. 1d. Information of the Nortons already printed by me must be consulted in The Reades of Blackwood Hill and Dr. Johnson's Ancestry, pp. 235, 244-5 ; and in these Gleanings, ante, I., 19, 33-5 ; II., r14 ; III., 43, rro, 114, 154 ; and VI., 16-21, 187. THE JERVIS AND PORTER FAMILIES 145 The following are from Foster's Alumni Oxonienses :­ NORTON, THOMAS, s. John, of Warwick {town), pleb. Queen's Coll., matric. 20 May, 1625, aged 16. NORTON, THOMAS, s. Edward, of Warwick {town), gent. Trinity Coll., matric. 3 March, 1691-2, aged 16, B.A. 1695 ; M.A. from New Inn Hall, 1699 ; vicar of Budbrooke, co. Warwick, 1702. From Carter and Barnard's valuable " Records of King Edward's School, Birmingham " (Dugdale Society, vol. XII., 1933, pp. 150-52, I learn that John Cottrell, of Birmingham, saddler, a governor of the school from 1685 to 1698, in his will dated I Jan. 1704/5, and proved 30 June 1705, in P.C.C., mentions his daughter Elizabeth Norton, and his sons Thomas and John, as well as other children. He was therefore the father-in-law of William Norton, of Birmingham. Information of the Rev. Edward Holbrooke is to be found in these Gleanings, ante, I., 33-4 ; II., 114 ; and III., 113. To the abstract of his will, printed at p. 244 of The Reades of Blackwood Hill and Dr. Johnson's Ancestry, before "Mr. Richard Hinckley" add "my late friend"; and after "the four children of my late brother, John Holbrooke," add " who are now in parts beyond the seas." The following entry is from the register of St. Mary's, Lichfield :- 1772. Jan. 6. bur. Rev. Mr. Holbrook, vicar of this parish. And this from Venn's Alumni Cantabrigienses :- HOLBROKE, EDWARD. Adm. at Corpus Christi, 1712. Of Staffordshire. Matric. 1713-4 ; B.A. 1716-7; M.A. 1721. Incorp. at Oxford, 1730. Usher at Stafford School. Will (P.C.C.) 1772 ; of Lichfield, clerk. An article by Mr. N. W. Tildesley, on Willenhall church, in The Willenhall Red Book for 1933, says that Edward Holbrooke appears as incumbent in July 1727, and probably had not been there long, though the Rev. John Carter, who was buried on 29 Feb. 1719/20, was his predecessor as far as the very incomplete records show. The Rev. Titus Neve was admitted to the living in June 1745. Mr. Tildesley says that "after leaving college Holbrooke became usher or under-master at Stafford School, and from thence moved to a similar post at Lich­ field." In the Admission Book of Corpus Christi there is this note against his name:-" Prefer'd near Lichfield and Usher of Stafford School" (History of King Edward VI. School, Stafford, by J. Sidney Home, 1930). JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS : PART VII. The following abstract of a Chancery suit throws light on Edward Norton (C.P., Bridges Division, C.5, 258/42) :- 25 June 1702. Complaint by Edwaf'd Nof'ton, of Warwick, watchmaker, that Thomas HaYpey, of the same borough, watchmaker, about 25 Mch. 1694 agreed to serve complainant as apprentice for 8 years, and his appren­ ticeship ended in Mch. last. For some time HaYpey applied to several of complainant's customers to employ him on bis own account, and did work for them before the ending of his apprenticeship and after without inform­ ing-complainant. 7 July 1702. Answer of Thomas Hat'pef' that he only became bound for 8 years, instead of 7, on assurance of complainant that during the last year he should have priveliges and not be treated as an apprentice. He denies applying to customers during bis apprenticeship, but in his 8th. year he did mend watches for a few people (names given) in Warwick, and complainant knew of the same. The said Thomas took a house in Warwick to set up his trade of watchmaker, but complainant alleged that he meant to work at half price to damage complainant's trade, and complainant, being an Alderman, had him carried before another Alderman, who was a Justice of the Peace, to be charged for doing the said work, and he would have been sent to a house of correction, but complainant said he would be satisfied if he made him five pendulum movements, and he consented, although they were worth much more than the few shillings he took for the work done.

THE HINCKLEYS OF LICHFIELD (See ante, VI., 104, 186-g)

THE Hinckleys of Lichfield, through their descent from the Nortons and the Porters, were distantly akin to Johnson's step­ children, as well as more closely to the Sewards, the Hunters and the Whites. These relationships brought them into the most select social circle of the town during the later period of Johnson's life, and kept them in it after his death, when Anna Seward could enjoy her literary fame without being constantly galled by the consciousness that the town's greatest son thought her pretty small beer. It was only by tracing the pedigree of the Hinckleys, and getting into touch with Miss Harriet M. Hinckley, that I learned of the Aston portraits which are reproduced in Part VI. I have not considered it necessary to explore the earlier history of the family, or to give details of the later generations. At VI., 187, I have inadvertently spoken of Thomas Hinckley [1692-1748] as "father," instead of grandfather, of Thomas Hinckley [1745-1817].

EXTRACTS FROM PRINTED SOURCES THE lists of civic officers in Harwood's Lichfield contain the following names :-p. 427, Richard Hinckley, sheriff in 1655, and Richard Hynckley, junior bailiff in r659 ; p. 430, Richard Hinckley, sheriff in 1694, and Richard Hinckley, junior bailiff in r701 ; p. 431, Richard Hinckley, senior bailiff in r707 ; p. 432, Richard Hinckley, sheriff in 1721 ; and p. 434, Cresar Arden Colclough, Esq., sheriff in r750. A Short Account of Lichfield Cathedral, Lichfield : Thomas George Lomax, 5th ed. 1843, p. 82, gives particulars of the Hinckley monument there, commemorating Richard Hinckley, who died 7 Jan. r772, aged 52; Mary his widow, "late Bayley, of Stapeley, Cheshire," who died 25 Mch. 1788, aged 70 ; Elizabeth, their eldest daughter, who died 28 Sept. 1795, aged 38; Thomas Hinckley, esq., their eldest son, THE JERVIS AND PORTER FAMILIES I57 who died 26 Sept. 1817, aged 72, leaving a widow and 8 children ; Catherine Hinckley, widow of Thomas, who died 3 Jan. r823, aged 67 ; and, p. 83, of another, to Catherine, wife of Robert John Harper, esq., and daughter of Thomas Hinckley, who died 22 Mch. 1822, aged 42, leaving her husband with 5 children. The pedigree of Bayley, of Willaston Hall, Nantwich, in Burke's Landed Gentry for 1921, shows James Bayley [1692-1764], of Stapeley, as married first, in 1716, to his cousin Mary, only daughter of John Jervis, of Darlaston, Staffs., and aunt to John Jervis (1735-1823], first Earl St. Vincent, the famous Admiral: she died in 1733, leaving issue. James Bayley married again in 1734 : Mary Bayley, wife of Richard Hinckley, and born in 1718, must have been daughter of his first marriage. The pedigree of Pyott, of Streethay, in Shaw's Staffordshire, I., 364, shows Richard Pyott, of Streethay, with a daughter, " Blanche, wife of Thomas Hinckley, of Lichfield": her sister Frances was second wife of George Hand, of Lichfield (ante, IV., 178, 197 ; VI., 143). The pedigree of Woodhouse, of Wombume Woodhouse, Staffs., in Burke's Landed Gentry for 1853, p. 1632, shows the Rev. John Chappel Woodhouse [1749-1833], Dean of Lichfield, with an elder daughter, Ellen Jane, married first to the Rev. W. Robinson, Rector of Swinnerton, who died 1812 ; second to Hugh Dyke Acland ; and third to Richard Hinckley, of Beacon House, Lichfield. Her two daughters by her first marriage are the "sleeping children" of Chantrey's celebrated monument in the Cathedral. From Burke's Peerage we learn of Hugh Dyke Acland [1791-1834] that his widow, Ellen Jane, was married 7 April 1835 to Richard Hinckley, of Beacon Place, Lichfield, and died 18 Oct. 1870. John Hinckley, son of Thomas Hinckley, esq., of Lichfield, entered Rugby School on 26 Apl. 1810, aged 13 (Rugby School Register, 1886, I., 104). From Foster's Alumni Oxonienses we learn that William Simmons, son of William Simmons, of Manchester, esq., matriculated from Brasenose College on r7 May r8r5, aged I7 ; B.A. 1819 ; Fellow, 1819- 30 ; M.A. 1823 ; barrister-at-law, Middle Temple, 1827 ; died 3 Apl. 1837; and from the "Manchester School Register" that the father was one of the surgeons to the Manchester Infirmary (Chetham JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS : PART VII. Society, vol. 93, p. 43). Anna Seward wrote to Mrs. Simmons (Mary Hinckley), at Manchester, on 25 Dec. 1792, to congratulate her on her marriage (Letters, 1811, III., 199). On 15 Oct. 1795 she mentioned that Mrs. Simmons was recovering from a long illness (ibid., IV., 114); and on 20 Jan. 1802 she wrote a longish letter to Mr. Simmons, "Surgeon in Manchester," in reference to Major Andre's death (ibid., VI., 3). Th·e Gentleman's Magazine for 1802, pt. 2, p. 1223, records the following Suffolk marriage:- (Sept. 7) Robert John Harper, esq. of the Dutchy of Lancaster office, Somerset-place, to the eldest daughter of Thomas Hinckley, esq. of Lich­ field. The irrepressible Anna Seward addressed verses '' To Robert Harper, Esq. sent to him the night before he took his bride to their house in London "-the "fair Catherine" (Poetical Works, ed. Walter Scott, 1810, III., 357) ; and later we find lines " To Little Catherine Harper, aged three years, presenting her with a blue sattin bonnet" (ibid., Ill., 389). The pedigree of Macpherson of Wyrley Grove, Walsall, in Burke's Landed Gentry for 1898, gives Fowke Hussey, of Little Wyrley, as marrying Elizabeth, daughter of William J esson, of Lichfield, gent., and sister of William Jesson, barrister-at-law, and having a fourth son, Richard Hussey [1722-74], of Wolverhampton. Elizabeth, daughter of " Mr. William Jason," was baptized at St. Mary's, Lichfield, on 8 November 1688, and Dorothy her sister on 26 Feb. 1689/90 ; we shall see that they were both, with their elder brother William, and their younger sister, Anna Maria, living with their widowed mother Elizabeth (Hinckley) in Sadler Street in 1695 (post, p. 159). In Anna Seward's letter to Mrs. Simmons of 25 Dec. 1792, already alluded to, she sends her love to Miss Hinckley, and mentions just having seen Mrs. Hinckley (Letters, III., 200). And in the letter of 15 Oct. 1795, to Mrs. Parry Price, of Chester, she makes reference to the recent death of " your and my relation," Miss (Elizabeth) Hinckley, describing her character and appearance, and the suddenness of her end, while the guest of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Thomas Hinckley (ibid., IV., 113-16). She alludes to Mr. and Mrs. Hinckley again in a THE JERVIS AND PORTER FAMILIES 159 letter of 16 Aug. 1797 (ibid., IV., 378). A much earlier reference, in a letter of Oct. 1767, from Gotham, announces that "Mr. Hinckley's clerk is arrived from Lichfield upon business to my uncle " (Poetical Works, ed. Walter Scott, I., cxcviii). Only next month Dr. Johnson, writing to Miss Elizabeth Aston, at Lichfield, sends his "compliments to Mrs. Hinckley " (Letters of Samuel Johnson, ed. Birkbeck Hill, I., 132). In reference to a settlement made by a friend of hers on his wife's companion Miss Seward mentions in a letter of 1791 that "My cousin, Mr. Hinchley (sic), eminent as an attorney, made the deed" (Correspondence of Thomas Sedgewick Whalley, ed. Hill Wickham, 1863, II., 52). "Mrs. Hinckley, of Lichfield," was one of the recipients of mourning rings of the value of two guineas under Anna Seward's will, in 1809 (A Swan and Her Friends, E. V. Lucas, 1907, p. 323).

Miss Hinckley has kindly supplied me with a copy of the entries in the Family Bible in her possession, excluding the later generations. Difficulty was found in deciphering some of the names of persons and places, but most of them are obviously correct:- Extract from the register for the Parish of St. Mary in the City of Lichfield "August 1719" "Bap.

THE REV. JOHN HUNTER AND HIS DESCENDANTS (See ante, VI., 21, 50-51, 103) IT is a pleasure to precede my account of the Rev. John Hunter and his family by a solemn act of recantation. For it is demanded by a good piece of evidence, and a good piece of evidence is always more than sufficient compensation for having to wear the white sheet of repentance. 168 JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS: PART VII. In 1929, while Mr. Laithwaite was making those researches among the Lichfield archives that have added so much to our knowledge of the early struggles of the Johnson family, when the Doctor's widowed grandmother was labouring to give her three sons a decent start in life (see my letter to Times Literary Supplement of 27 June r929), he came across a deed in the possession of the Feoffees of the Conduit Lands Trust there, of which the following is an abstract :- (endorsement) Mr. John Hunter's Counterpart of his Lease dated 9th June I 704 of the School house. Indenture made 9 June 1704, between Richard Dyott, of City of Lichfield, esq., Richard Pyott, of Streethay, co. Staffs., esq., Walter Littleton, of the Close of Lichfield, esq., Edward Hawkes, of Lichfield, gent., Richat'd Burnes, of same, gent., William Gamble, of same, gent., Samuel Mousley, of same, gent., Theophilus Biddulph, of Elmhurst, co. Staffs., esq., and Thomas Hamond, of Eddyall, co. Staffs., gent., the now Feoffees of the messuages, lands, tenements, hereditaments and premises belonging and appertaining to the maintenance and repair of Common Conduits of said City, And Thomas W eale, of said City, clothworker, and William N o'Ythwood, of same, baker, Wardens for said Conduits, of the one part, And John Hunte'Y, of Solihull, co. Warw., Master of Arts, of the other part, Witnesseth that said Feoffees and Wardens, as well for profit and advantage of said City and the inhabitants, and also for the encouragement of the said John Hunter in being head Schoolmaster of the Free School of Lichfield, and for other good causes and considerations, Have demised, leased, etc., to said John Hunter, all that messuage, burgage, dwelling house or tenement, with all edifices, buildings, out houses, gardens and backsides to same belonging, situate in St. John Street, Lichfield, and late in tenure or occupation of Robert Shaw, deed., with all ways, etc., to said John Hunter, for term of his natural life, if he remain Schoolmaster of said Free School, at yearly rent of one peppercorn if demanded, he to maintain and repair same and pay all taxes, etc.,* And said Feoffees and Wardens, for the further encouragement and advantage of said John Hunter, agree to pay him yearly £10 on the Feast of St. Thomas the Apostle JOHN HUNTER Wits., Ri: Hinckley, Hum: Hawkins, Isaack Hinckley, Euseby Dormer. Now the late Joseph Hill, in his Book Makers of Old Birmingham, r907, p. 25, wrote as follows in his account of King Edward's School at Birmingham :-

* Mr. Laithwaite does not think that any of the headmasters paid rent for the house in St. John Street, which was erected by the Conduit Trustees for the Rev. Robert Shaw in 1682. In all the accounts he has examined there is no mention of any rent received for it, or any deduction from the headmaster's salary therefor. THE JERVIS AND PORTER FAMILIES 169 About this time the Rev. John Hunter appears to have held the post of second-master, for on the 7th January, 1694, "John Hunter, M.A., late of Birmingham," was appointed master of Solihull School, where he remained until 1704. He appears to have been the same John Hunter who immediately after became head-master of Lichfield School, where Samuel Johnson was his pupil. At ante, III., 110, I controverted this conclusion of Hill's, on the ground that "at that date our John Hunter had not even taken his B.A. degree." But it is clear now that there has been some confusion, and that John Hunter of Solihull was appointed to Lichfield in 1704, though if he was admitted to Solihull School on 7 Jan. 1694/5 it ,vas certainly not as an M.A., for he did not proceed until 1700. But if the date of 1695 for his B.A. is accurate, it is difficult to see how he could have acquired it in the first week of the year, and still more how if he had done so he could correctly be described as" of Birmingham." But it is evidently the dates that are incorrect, and not the .main facts of his schoolmastering career as stated by Hill. John Hunter was appointed second master at King Edward's School at Birmingham in 1693 (Times Lit. Supp., 6 Aug. 1931, p. 609). Most of the genealogical evidence for this section has already been printed by me . .In The Reades of Blackwood Hill and Dr. Johnson's Ancestry, pp. 243-6, is an account of John Hunter and his family, with a long abstract of his will, and a short one of his widow's, and of that of his son-in-law, the Rev. Thomas White. At pp. 238-9 is an account of Sarah Seward and her brief engagement to her elderly kinsman, Joseph Porter of Leghorn. In these Gleanings, Part I., pp. 11-12, is an account of the Whites, and at pp. 33-5 a further note on John Hunter and the Se,vards. The same Part also includes unpublished portraits, carefully described, of Anna Seward herself, of her sister Sarah, of her mother, Elizabeth Hunter, wife of the Rev. Thomas Seward, of her aunt, Lucy Hunter, wife of the Rev. Thomas White, and of that aunt's son, the Rev. Henry White. Part II. (pp. 113-5) has further notes on John Hunter and Anna Se,vard, as well as an account of the Rev. Henry White (pp. 84-5). Part III. has a general account of John Hunter (pp. 110-14), and record of a deed relating to John Hunter's marriage to Lucy Porter (pp. 153-4). JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS : PART VII.

The Reverend Charles Hunter dyed Nov. 1, and was buried at Audley. The list of Ministers in the preface gives his appointment to Betley as in 1745, which cannot be correct. The following is an abstract of his will :- CHARLES HUNTER, of Betley, co. Stafford, clerk. Will dated 29 June 1743. I bequeath to Margaret Salt, the younger, of Betley, spinster, all my real and personal estate, and appoint her my extrix. Signed, Charles Hunter. Wits., Rose Helsall, Elizabeth Procter and Gerd. Parker. Proved 19 Nov. 1744, in P.C.C. (256, Anstis), by Margaret Salt, spinster, the extrix. The following extracts from the register bear upon the will:- 1712. July 15. bur. Ann, wife of Mr. John Salt, curate, Betley. 1713. Aug. 1. mar. John Salt and Marg. Shaw. 1714. May 17. bap. Mary, dau. of John Salt (hujus oppidi pastor), and Mary his wife, born May 2. 1715/16. Mch. I. bap. Samuel, s. of John Salt, hujus oppide pastor, and Marg. his wife, born Feb. 9. It seems quite clear that the transcriber or the printer has made an error, and that the two Marys, of 1714, should be " Margs.". In the THE JERVIS AND PORTER FAMILIES r7r preface John Salt appears as Minister from r7ro to r735, but, as already indicated, the dates in the list cannot be trusted. It is only natural to conclude that the Rev. Charles Hunter was affianced to Margaret Salt. The following is from Venn's Alumni Cantabrigienses :­ HUNTER, JOHN. Adm. pens. at Clare, Feb. 21, 1746-7. B. at Lichfield. The particulars I give of the Martins in the pedigree that follows are largely derived from the late Mr. Stapleton Martin, M.A., of The Firs, Norton, near Worcester, a descendant of the family interested in genealogy. In Admissions to St. ] ohn's College, Cambridge, Part III., ed. R. F. Scott, p. 668, is a long note giving accounts of the Rev. Samuel Martin, who married Ann Hunter, and of his elder son, another Rev. Samuel Martin, too long to quote here; and another note will be found in Chetham Society, vol. 69, ''Admission Register of Manchester Grammar School," pp. 58, 228-9. There are a number of references to the Martins in Anna Seward's letters. On 7 Nov. r784 she alludes to "the death of my dear aunt Martin, whose striking likeness to my yet dearer mother, whom I lost in the year r780, increased the affection which her virtues and long-experienced kindness had inspired " (Letters, I., I2). On IS July r795 she describes the sudden death, while addressing a public meeting, "of a dear friend, and the nearest relation I possessed-for he was my first cousin-Mr. Martin, one of the most eminent of the merchants engaged in the hosiery manufacture of Nottingham .... Engaged in partnership with Mr. Statham, a man of fortune superior to his own, he extended the commercial interests of their house," etc. She pays glowing tribute to his character, and mentions that he and his wife-" fifteen years younger than himself " had recently visited her at Lichfield (ibid., IV., 78-81 ; and Whatley's Journal and Correspondence, II., 96-7). In a letter to Charles Simpson, of Lichfield, on 19 Sept. 1804, she describes the " venerable mansion. " at Winterbourne, near Bath, where Mrs. Martin, the widow, was then entertaining her, which, with twenty acres of land, she had purchased for £900. "The little smart widow, moving in the fashionable circles at Bath, is become a notable farmeress, with all about her of old­ fashioned comfort and frugal hospitality" (Letters, VI., 198-9; and Whatley's Journal and Correspondence, II., 253-6). On 7 Feb. 1806 172 JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS : PART VII. Mrs. Martin and her daughters had been staying with her (Letters, VI., 245). With her White cousins Anna Seward was also on terms of affec­ tionate friendship. There is an account of the Rev. Thomas White in Admissions to St. John's College, Cambridge, vol. III., ed. R. F. Scott, p. 496. References to the Rev. Henry White and his younger brother Thomas will be found in the Letters of Anna Seward, I., 335 ; III., 38, 93-6, 344-5, 379, 392, 396 ; IV., II, 14, 25, 49, 58, 73, 78, 93, 144, 203, 292, 361 ; V., 155, 264, 300, 335, 378, 394; and VI., 10, 78, 82, 295, 300, 313, 330, 335, 378 ; as well as in the Works, ed. Walter Scott, III., 106, 320, 334, and in Whatley's Journal and Correspondence, II., 41, 44, 124 and 209. Around Anna Seward, and her father, there: has, of course, sprung up a considerable literature. In addition to such " source " ,vorks as the Letters and Works just quoted from, and Whatley's Journal, there are E. V. Lucas's A Swan and Her Friends, 1907, a pleasantly written " publisher's book," easily compiled from easily accessible material, and Miss Margaret Ashmun's more "conscientious" work, The Singing Swan, 1931, an American piece of research. In 1909 Mr. Stapleton Martin published a slight volume, at Worcester, entitled Anna Seward and Classic Lichfield. Then there are the lives of Thomas Seward and Anna Seward in the Dictionary of National Biography, and recitals of the scholastic career and clerical preferments of the former in Barker and Stenning's Record of Old W estminsters, II., 834-5 ; and in Admissions to St. John's College, Cambridge, vol. III., ed. R. F. Scott, pp. 404-5. To the evidence at those references I can add the following abstract of Canon Seward's will :- THOMAS SEWARD, of The Close of Litchfield Cathedral, clerk, Canon Resident of said Cathedral, rector of Eyam, co. Derby, and of Kingsley, co. Staffs.,* and one of the Prebendaries of Salisbury. Will dated 4 Oct. 1781. "Whereas I am convinced that a Will I formerly made will create trouble and difficulties to my daughter whom I then thought would not be able to manage her affairs as well as Trustees but am now convinced by experience since the death of her Mother that she is a Woman of Business

* John Hunter, his father-in-law, possessed the advowson of the rectory of Kingsley, and wished his sons Charles and (or) John to fill the living, failing which it was to be sold for the benefit of all his children (Reades of Blackwood Hill and DY. Johnson's Ancestry, pp. 244-5). THE JERVIS AND PORTER FAMILIES 173 and fully capable of transacting them herself I do therefore hereby utterly revoke and make void the said former will and all other wills by me hereto­ fore made and declare this to be my last will and testament." I bequeath to my niece, MYs. GYace Robe'Yts, wife of Josiah Roberts, of Mile-end, co. M'sex, £300, because her father gave up a debt to induce my eldest brother to pay me £300 given me verbally by my late dear father; should she die before me, the same to my children. To Thomas Hinckley, of Lichfield, gent., £50. To my only surviving dau., Anne Sewa'Yd, all my real estates, and all the residue of my goods, etc., and make her my extrix. Signed, Thomas Seward. Wits., John FeYnyhough, James Wickins and Wm. Mott. Codicil dated 11 May 1782. Whereas most of my money is in navigation and turnpike securities, if my dau. cannot pay the said MYs. RobeYts, then she is to make over to her £300 of Chesterfield Navigation Bonds. Signed, Thos. Sewa'Yd. Wits., Rich. Geo. Robinson, John BlackfoYd and Wm. Mott. Proved 8 Apl. 1790, in P.C.C. (Bishop, 209), by Anne Sewa'Yd, spinster, the extrix. The opening clause shows that, until after her mother's death in 1780, when she was a woman of 37, her father had not realised the business shrewdness of the poetastering Anna (the form of her name she preferred to Anne). The date of Anna Seward's birth has been much in dispute, and not without reason, considering the curious conflict of evidence. However, it has been definitely settled as I Dec. 1742, O.S., or 12 Dec. 1742, N.S. (see ante, II., 113-14; Times Lit. Supp., 21 June 1928, p. 468, and 28 June r928, p. 487 ; and Margaret Ashmun's The Singing Swan, 1931, pp. 5-7), so that there is no further need to discuss the point. The date of her sister Sarah's birth is confirmed in a letter of 17 Mch. 1788, where she tells a friend that her sympathy in a bereave­ ment comes with peculiar appropriateness "this day-for it is the 17th of March; the birth-day of my lovely long-deceased sister, who died in her nineteenth year" (Letters, II., 59). In a letter of 29 Aug. 1788 she speaks of having just returned from a visit to Eyam, where she "went into the church, where the ashes of my two infant sisters repose" (ibid., II., 151). In the absence of any rector at Eyam, in Derbyshire, in February 1934, Mr. Uriah Dane, the Vicar's churchwarden, kindly sent me the following extracts from the register there, in answer to my request:- 1742. Dec. 28. bap. Anne, ye daughter of the Revd. Thos. Seward, Rector of Eyam, & of Mrs. Elizabeth Seward, his wife. 174 JOHNSONIAN GLEANINGS: PART VII. 1744. Apl. 12. bap. Sarah, ye daughter of the Revd. Thos. Seward, Rector of Eyam, & Elizabeth his wife. 1747. July 25. bap. Jane, ye daughter of the Revd. Thos. Seward, Rector of Eyam, & Elizabeth his wife. 1749. June 27. bur. (" Baptized "written in margin) Elizabeth ye daughter of the Rev. Thos. Seward, Rector of Eyam, and Elizabeth his wife. It seems as if the Sarah born in r744 must have died in infancy and not been identical with the Sarah who died in r764, in her eighteenth year. The whole problem of the dates in connexion with the Rev. Thomas Seward's marriage and the births of his children is beset with difficulties, and I cannot pretend to feel satisfied about them all. From Shaw's Staffordshire, I., 362 and 379, we learn that Christopher Astley, of Tamhorn, near Lichfield, esq., died 2 June r780, aged 64, and was buried at Whittington; that his first wife, Rebecca, daughter of the Rev. John Hunter, died 9 July r759, with no issue shown ; and that his second wife, Mary, daughter of Richard Dyott, of Freeford, esq ., died in r763, and was buried at Whittington, leaving an only child and heir, Mary Astley, who married her first cousin, Richard Dyott, of Freeford, High Sheriff of Staffs. in r798. From Burke's Landed Gentry it appears that this latter Richard Dyott [r754-1813] was Recorder of Lichfield in r805, and died without issue. His marriage to Mary Astley was on 6 Nov. 1783 (Dyott's Diary, ed. Reginald W. Jeffery, 1907, I., 12). In a letter of July 1764 Anna Seward speaks of the days " when my sister and myself used to pass serene days in my uncle Astley's patriarchal habitation at Famhorn (sic), near Lichfield" (Works, ed. Walter Scott, I., cxxxix). I happen to have this entry from St. Michael's register, Lichfield:-" 1783. Nov. 6. mar. Richard Dyott, jun., esq., and Mary Astley, both of Lichfield." The following notice is from Aris's Birmingham Gazette for 23 May 1814 :- On Sunday at the house of her son in the Close of the Cathedral Church of Lichfield, aged 84, Lucy, relict of Thomas White, M.A., prebendary and sacrist of Lichfield, and vicar of Dunchurch, whom she survived 30 years. This venerable lady was youngest daughter of John Hunter, M.A., the celebrated and learned master of Lichfield Free Grammar School, by whom the most eminent characters of the last century were educated, particularly Judge Wilmot, David Garrick, and Samuel Johnson. THE JERVIS AND PORTER FAMILIES 175 There is a stone in the south aisle of the nave of Lichfield Cathedral to the memory of Thomas White, his wife Mary, and the Rev. Henry White, his brother, which gives the dates of their death.

MAP TO ILLUSTRATE DR. JOHNSON'S ORIGINS AND FAMILY ASSOCIATIONS AS WELL AS HIS LIFE AND MOVEMENTS DOWN TO 1740 (In pocket at end)

DESCRIPTION As mentioned in the Preface, I do not know of any previous attempt to embody so much information about a man's life and origins in the form of a map as has been done in the one I have prepared at considerable labour for this Part. Had it professed to do no more than chronicle his own known movements during this period ending in 1740 it might, of course, have been made very much smaller. One of the main difficulties in constructing a chart of this nature lies in the natural excess of information around certain focal points, in Johnson's case Lichfield and Birmingham. It will be noticed how much ''contriving'' has been necessary to attach all this information to the district in question, while other areas of the map remain almost blank. On the whole, considering how closely families like those to which Johnson belonged kept at that time to their native districts, it is remarkable over what an area this cartographical record extends. A suggestion was made to me to distinguish in some way the places on it actually visited by Johnson. But this did not seem practicable, and might have caused confusion, or misconception, by giving the impression, through the natural absence of record concerning such every day excursions, that his local movements as a boy and young man were more restricted than we know they must have been. All places and persons mentioned on the map are distinguished in the index by the capital letter M., and the personal references are localised in brackets. N

PROFESSOR A. S. TURBERVILLE, in HISTORY: "Mr. Lyell Reade's biographical methods are the very antithesis of the brilliant but often superficial essays in conjectural psychology which have been so popular of late. His aim is to discover and elucidate facts. His extraordinarily precise and painstaking process has been made familiar by his former studies and is exemplified as strikingly in this volume as in its predecessors. Their scholarly characteristics are an object lesson to researchers in any field, while the author's zeal for his investigation is so keen and so attrac­ tive that he always succeeds in communicating it to his readers, however minute the particular problem at issue may happen to be. There could be no better demonstration that even the most meticulous research need never be dull.'' THE YEAR'S WORK IN ENGLISH STUDIES: (his) "unobtrusive state­ ment will not mislead those competent to judge into the error that 'con­ siderable labour' can by ijself produce the results which distinguish Reade's work. He knows how to accumulate facts, but he knows also how to invest them with meaning and significance, and that ·cannot be done by mere laboriousness.''

ENGLISH STUDIES (Amsterdam): "His industry, his wide knowledge and his unflagging patience are truly amazing, while his judicious weighing of facts, allied to his modest, unassuming scholarship, make him one of our most competent biographers of Johnson.''

ABERDEEN PRESS: "The labour and fine judgment of this biography are beyond all praise.''

HOLBORN REVIEW: " .... a volume of extraordinary interest, not only to all Johnsonians, but to every student of literary life in the eighteenth century.''

QUARTERLY REVIEW: " .... Mr. Aleyn Lyell Reade's devoted and inspired researches in Johnsoniana .... it needs but the name and the hint, surely, to send eager Johnsonians in chase of this volume.''

GLOBE (Boston, U.S.A.): "Nothing which has previously been written con­ cerning the life of Johnson compares with this admirable work by Mr. Reade.''

NOTES AND QUERIES: "It is not to be wondered at that Mr. Lyell Reade's 'Johnsonian Gleanings' evoke strongly-worded and astonished praise.''

ANGLIA BEIBLATT (Frankfurt): "With untiring patience, with never failing industry, and with an often astonishing scent for enquiry, the life of Johnson is here reconstructed from separate pieces of evidence like a mosaic" (trans.). *
