 Devon Notes and Queries, 191 149. Trevelyan Monuments. — In Sir George Carew's Scroll of Arms at p. 22, No. 124, and at p. 27, No. 162, mention is made of the Trevelyan Arms in Tedcotte and Plymouth churches, presumably on monuments there. Tre- velyan, of Yarnscombe, it is stated to be at p. 27. Can any of your readers kindly say whether in those churches any Trevelyan monuments now, or till recent years, existed ? Mr. Squire, the Rector of Tetcott, kindly told me that there are no Trevelyan monuments in that church now ; so that this monument has disappeared since 1588, the date of Carew's Scroll. Possibly the Tetcott Church books might mention the removal of this monument. C.H. Sp. P. 150. Silver in Placb-Nambs (I, p. 187, par. 143; p. 210, par. 178; p. 219, par. 182 ; II, p. 2, par. 2 ; p. 86, par. 61). — As regards the place-name '^ Silverton,'* is not the second syUable the English ford ? The village is on the river £xe, and several places along its course bear the same syllable — Thorverton, Tiverton (two-ford- town, the rivers Exe and Lowman flowing through the town), Dulverton, etc. There are also Brampford Speke, Winsford, and doubtless other similarly formed names in the Exe Valley, as there are along the courses of other Devon rivers. This appears to me a more simple and natural derivation than some of the sug- gestions thrown out. J. S. Attwood. 151. Tradesman's Account {temp.
