the manor of Welford jure uxoris in 1644, but he was apparently not buried in that parish. Mary, the great-granddaughter of Sir Francis, and only surviving child and heir of Richard Jones (whose age is wrongly given in Visit. Berks, 23 March, 1664/5, as " 5 years "), was baptized at Welford 15 June, 1661 ; married to John Archer, of same and of Coopersale, co. Essex, esquire, son of Sir John Archer, the judge (ob. 8 February, 1681/2, eel. 83); and buried at Welford in her father's grave 13 September, 1702, with M.I. ; but her husband appears to have been buried elsewhere. From Sir Francis Jones the Welford estate, which he probably purchased from Sir Thomas Knivett in 1617 or 1618, has descended to the present day through the well-known and allied families of Archer, Eyre, and Houblon. To the last two of these, as well as to that of Hinton and of Popham (another of their alliances), I am myself related.

I may state that the register (which dates from 1559 for burials, 1562 for baptisms, and 1603 for marriages) contains no other entries relating to this family of Jones who pro- bably did riot reside in the parish until 1618, if indeed so early nor to that of Hinton.

Below is a copy of the Latin M.I. (on a stone slab on the chancel floor) to the said Richard Jones, as kindly furnished by Mrs. Batson. It differs somewhat from that given by my friend Mr. Cokayne in his 'Lord Mayors and Sheriffs of London, 1601-1625.' The age appears as "in thirty-sixth year,"

but he was in his thirty-seventh year at date of death.

PLACE-NAMES IN THE * JOTJKNAL OF GEORGE Fox' (9 th S. viii. 245). Mendle, associated with Long Crendon and Chesham in Buck- inghamshire, is undoubtedly Meadle, a hamlet in the parish of Monks Ris borough in the same county. Fox's itinerary is very clearly indicated. He went from Long Crendon through Thame, past Kingsey, to Ilmere (now llmire), or, as the Ordnance map has it, Iliner, thence to Longwick, and on by the Icknield Way to Meadle, and from Meadle, still following the Icknield Way, to Weston Turville. In the 'Life of Thomas El wood ' the good old Quaker relates how he went (circa 1660) from Crowell, near Chinnor, to the nearest Friends' meeting "at a little village called Meadle, in the house of one John White, which is continued there still." In Besse's ' Sufferings ' John White of Meadle occurs as a victim, having had goods valued at 92/. taken from him at the suit of " Timothy Hall, priest of Monks Risborough," in 1667, and other seizures made in 1671 and 1687. As a boy I was often at Meadle Farm, and knew well the orchard which was formerly the burying-ground of the Meadle Quakers. RICHARD WELFORD.

Causal or Cossel, in Warwickshire, may represent Coleshill. John Tuke's ' Nomina Villarum Eboracensium,' 1816, gives Eldroth in the parish of Clapham, and High Town in the parish of Birstall. W. C. B.

Patchgate is situated on the main road from Brighton to Horsham, about a mile and a half on the Horsham (north) side of the village of Cowfold. It is referred to in 'Some Records of the Early Friends in Surrey and Sussex' (London, 1886), p. 28.
