 128. Till. FEB. 12, 1921.] NOTES AND QUERIES. 131 eldest of three co-heiresses, who succeeded to the Carter property which at one time was extensive, and it is a curious circum- stance that at the present day the remnants of that property are again in the hands of three co-heiresses, the daughters of the late Wm. Paget Hoblyn, Esq., of Fir Hill, Little Oolan, Cornwall, whose ancestor married in 1683 Mary Carter, the second of the co- heiresses previously mentioned. G. T. G.-C. Barbados. HOLLINGWORTH. Frederick Hollingworth was admitted to Westminster School in 1745, aged 9, and John Hollingworth in 1747, aged 8. Can any correspondent of G. F. R. B. JOHN MILTON AND THE MILBURNS. I have discovered in two branches of the descendants of Thomas Milburn of London, 1801-2-1848, a tradition of descent from the poet John Milton. From the published accounts of the poet's family, it would seem that any relationship must be collateral unless the descent is through the Clarkes. It is supposed that the maiden name of 'Thomas Milburn 's mother was Warren. I have searched the Milburn wills at Somer- set House without definitely ascertaining the name of Thomas Milburn 's father. The most significant wills are these : Rev. Thomas Milburn, Rector of Raworth, Essex, signed Aug. 21, 1773, proved London, Dec. 6, 1775. Mentions children, Thomas, Richard, Charles, and Ann ; also cousins William and Thomas Studdart (?) of Burn- liam. Leaves property in Wickford, Essex, to wife Ann (P.R.C. Alexander, 482). Ann Milburn of parish of St. Botolph, Aldersgate, London, July 20, 1787, makes brother Thomas Milburn her heir (Calvert, 145). Thomas Milburn, sailor, only son of Ann Bolt of Wickford, Essex, 1803 (Marriott, 721). Thomas Milburn, sawyer, of Hampton, Middlesex, is made administrator of estates of father, Thomas Milburn, late of St. George's, Hanover Square, and of his mother, Elizabeth Milburn j who died before she could take out letters of administration (Admon. 1777). Hannah Milburn, 1821, formerly of East- wich Park, near Guilford, Surrey, but recently of Lambeth Square, Surrey, men- tions brothers William and John and their children (Mansfield, 159). I have also found the following Milburn marriages : Thomas Bourton Milburn and Elizabeth Wordsworth of St. James at St. George's Chapel, Feb. 21, 1750. Thomas Milburn of St. Mary White Chapel, Middx., w., and Elizabeth Lodge, w., at St. Benet Paul's Wharf, Sept. 13, 1745. Richard Milburn of St. Ann, Westminster, and Elizabeth Ogilvy at St. Edmund's, .Sept. 23, 1795. In 1812 Thomas Milburn & Co., Wine and Spirit Merchants, were at Lloyd's Coffee House. From 1818 until 1830, Thomas Milburn, wine and spirit broker, was at 6 Commercial Sales Rooms, Mincing Lane. I shall be glad if your readers will give me any information that will connect these scattered notes, and especially any clue to account for the Milton tradition. JOSEPH M. BEATTY, JR. Goucher College, Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A. "SUCH AS MAKE NO MUSICK. " This phrase is used by Jeremy Collier in his address ' To the Reader ' in ' An Appendix to the Three English Volumes in Folio of Morery's Great Historical .... Dictionary .' The date of the Appendix is 1721. He writes near the end of the address : " I am far from Translating the whole Two Folio's of the Dutch Supplement For not a few Heads in this Holland Impression are bor- row'd from the three English Volumes : And as for the rest pass'd over, they are foreign Genea- logies, lean Subjects, and such as make no Musick." Was the phrase proverbial ? ROBERT PIEBPOINT. . THE SENTRY AT POMPEII. There is a story of a certain Roman soldier being en sentry duty in Pompeii at the time of its over -whelming by an eruption of Vesuvius and that he died at his post while patiently waiting for the change of guard. Who is responsible for this story, and has it been justified or proved false ? ALFRED S. E. ACKERMANN. IDENTIFICATION OF ARMS. I have a wooden carving representing an animal with a face like a tapir, knobs on its back 'and claws on its feet, seated with a shield sus- pended from its neck. The arms on the shield are coloured and are Barry of eight or and gules, upon the second ten roses of the first, 4, 3, 2 and 1, impaling or three annulets gules. Whose arms are these ? The im- palement is similar to the arms of Hutton. WILLIAM GILBERT, F.R.N.S.
