. — As to List X., Rev. James Sartres is memorialized in my vol. ii., p. 237. Isaac Garnier’s family seems to have taken deep root in England. On Christmas day 1868 (the public prints inform us) “the Very Rev. Dr Gamier, Dean of Winchester, who is blind and in his 94th year, recited to the congregation in the cathedral the whole of the prayers at the afternoon service.” Rev. Francis Lumeau Du Pont became French minister of Edinburgh; his name is mentioned in the register of the city in connection with baptisms; in one entry he is called Mons. Francis de Pugn; the last French minister there was Peter Lumeau Du Pont.

With regard to the Du Bourdieu family, named in this list, it is remarkable that neither Isaac nor John has the designation “clerk” added to his name. In my vol. ii., page 222, it will be seen that a very aged minister, Isaac Du Bourdieu, a celebrated man, was a refugee along with his equally celebrated son, John. John had at his death in 1720 an eldest son, Peter, and another son, Armand, both mentioned in his will. The will does not mention the still more celebrated John-Armand Du Bourdieu, but this may be accounted for by the circumstance that in 1701 the Duke of Devonshire patronized him and gave him the Rectory of Sawtrey-Moynes, which he held till his death in 1726. The Du Bourdieu family may have had a lay branch with grandfather, father, and sons bearing the same Christian names as the clerical one; and, if so, I was mistaken in saying that the clerical branch is the one naturalized in the above list — a mistake, however, which would not invalidate my other statements.

Having been influenced by comparing the naturalization list with Dr John Du Bourdieu’s will, I append a copy of that document:—

“In the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. Translated out of French.'' Our help be in the name of God who made heaven and earth. Amen.'' John Dubourdieu, minister, living in the parish of St Martin’s-in-the-Fields, doth above all things recommend his soul to God, and desires that his body be buried near that of his father in the Chapel of the Savoy. He gives £20 sterling to the poor of the said Church, and £20 sterling to the six oldest French ministers who are assisted or are upon the list of the Royal Bounty. I give to my eldest son Peter Dubourdieu, Rector of Kirby-over-Carr in Yorkshire, the annuity of £14 per annum of the year 1706, No. 1769. I give to my son Armand Dubourdieu the annuity of a like sum of £14 per annum of the year 1706, No. 1770. I give and bequeath to Anne Dubourdieu, my daughter, who is still at Montpellier in France, the other annuity of 1706, No. 1771, which is also of £14 per annum, upon condition (and not otherwise) that she shall come here in England and profess the Protestant religion, willing and intending also that, although she comes here, she shall not have the power to dispose of the fund but after she shall have lived here ten years a Protestant; nor shall she receive anything of the income whilst she shall continue a Papist either in France or here; but as soon as my administrators shall be convinced that she is sincerely a Protestant, they shall deliver her the annuity together with the income grown due thereon. I give and bequeath to my daughter Elizabeth, who is still at Montpellier in France, the annuity of 1704 upon the 3700 excise, but upon this express
