NOTES AND QUERIES.

in the same work, we are told that his mother, whose maiden name is not given, " after the death of his father married Robert Abbot, Bishop of Salisbury.' '' Bridget " and " Jone " form an irrecon- cilable discrepancy, but it is curious that the two versions agree in describing the lady who married John Warner as a widow. Atrain, there is nothing improbable in the Dean of Lichfield marrying the widow of Bishop Abbot of Salisbury, whose younger brother George was for a few months Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry.

It would be interesting to have the views of MR. E. LEE WARNER on this, which may, however, be an entirely false trail laid by Simms, who cites no authority for his statement.

The arms impaled by Dean Warner are attributed in Papworth to Dowding, Flore, Gambell or Gamble (Ireland), William de Agilon, and Stepkins (Middlesex).

For wife of John Warner see 11 S. iv. 174, contribution by MR. EDWARD LEE WARNER: " John Warner, D.D., married at Saltwood, Hythe, Kent, by licence, 30 April, 1616, Mrs. Jone Abbott, widow." The maiden name of Mrs. Warner has not, I believe, so far been ascertained ; perhaps the arms Az., a fleur-de-lis or may ' assist. R. J. FYNMORE.

" THE HERO OF NEW ORLEANS " (11 S. x. 248). The hero of New Orleans was the American General Andrew Jackson, who, with a force of less than 6,000 men, defeated at New Orleans the British General Paken- ham's veteran army of 12,000, most of them trained in the wars with Napoleon. The British lost about half their numbers.
