PRESIDENT JOHN NICHOLSON HERBERT OF NEVIS.

(12 S. vii. 129, 175, 232.)

I NOW turn to Edward Herbert of Bristol and Montserrat, merchant, who is stated in ' Caribbeana ' to have married Anne sister of John Mountstephen, and thus to have been an ancestor of John Richardson Herbert. This, the following will show, is not correct. I have for many years had a pedigree of the descendants of Sir George Herbert of St. Julians, who was third legitimate son of William Herbert, first Earl of Pembroke of the first Herbert creation. This pedigree carries the descent down to Edward Her- bert of Bristol and Montserrat, merchant, above mentioned, and to his son Thomas, with one link of illegitimacy in the six- teenth century. I havej verified much that this pedigree states, and there is no doubt about the illegitimacy, from what is said in two wills, of which I have copies. This pedigree states of Edward Herbert of Bristol and Montserrat, that he married Anne Ellis, and that after Edward's death, his widow Anne married a Doctor Salmon. It also states that the said Edward had a son Thomas (no other children being mentioned) who was a surgeon in the Navy and died, without issue, in 1701. The fact that this Edward Herbert was connected with Mont- serrat in the West Indies, and that he had a son Thomas who was living in 1701, suggested the possibility of Edward being the man who married John Mountstephen 's sister, but were that so it is clear that the entries in the pedigree I have mentioned as to Edward's wife and son could not be correct. Some search, however, showed that what the pedigree states about this Edward of Bristol and Montserrat and his son Thomas is accurate, end any theory therefore as to the said Edward having been the husband of Mount Stephen's sister falls to the ground. This Edward Herbert in his will (signed 1684, proved 1685) mentions his wife Anne, his on Thomas Herbert (then a minor) whom he appointed his sole executor, his brothers Abraham, a mariner, and William, his nephew Edward Herbert son of his brother tVilliam, his sister Elizabeth Pumfrett, /Valter Rumsey, chyrurgeon, Edmund Ellis iis apprentice, and his friend Capt.
