 . — In Mr. Wagner’s Pedigree of the Refugee family of Dupuis, I observe a very considerable number of clergymen. Abraham Dupuis, of London, merchant, who died in 1777 (see chapter xxiv.), had a clerical son, Rev. George Dupuis, born in 1757, educated at Eton, and at Merton College, Oxford, and Rector of Wendlebury in Oxfordshire from 1789 to 1839. He was the father of General Sir J. E. Dupuis, but his eldest son was Rev. George John Dupuis, educated at Eton and at King’s College, Cambridge, B.A. 18 19, M.A. 1822, Fellow of his College, Rector successively of Hemingby, Creeting, and Worplesdon from 1831 to his death in 1878; he began his career as a master at Eton. One of the sons of the latter clergyman is the Rev. George Richard Dupuis, born in 1835, who repeated his father’s career at Eton and Cambridge, B.A. 1858, M.A. 1861, was for two years Vicar of Sturminster-Marshall, and has been Rector of Sessay since 1877. Another son of Rev. G.J. Dupuis is Rev. Edward John Gore Dupuis, educated at Exeter College, Oxford, B.A. 1867 M.A. 1869, Curate of Eton from 1870 to 1875, and now Rector of Alphington and Rural Dean.

We come now to the descendants of Thomas Sanders Dupuis, Doctor of Music (see chapter xxv.), whose wife’s maiden name was Martha Skelton, and who died on 17th July 1796, six months after the death, without descendants, of his eldest son, Rev. Thomas Skelton Dupuis, of Gray’s, Essex. Dr. Dupuis, however, was survived by his youngest son, Charles, who was the father of Rev. Charles Sanders Skelton Dupuis. This reverend gentleman was born in 1797, educated at Pembroke College, Oxford, of which he became a Fellow, B.A. 1818, M.A. 1821, and was Rector of Binton, near Stratford-on-Avon, from 1836 to 1874; he married Emma, daughter of Rev. Charles Crane, D.D., Vicar of Paddington; and is represented by two clerical sons, namely, (1) Rev. Theodore Crane Dupuis, educated at Pembroke College, Oxford, B.A. 1854, M.A. 1856, now Vicar of Burnham, and one of the Prebendaries of Wells. (2) Rev. Charles Seymour Dupuis, educated at Lincoln College, Oxford, B.A. 1872, M.A. 1874. (Besides these two sons, the venerable rector left a daughter, Eliza, widow of Willoughby John Trevelyan, Esq., grandson of the second son of the fourth baronet of Nettlecombe, and her son, Walter John, is heir-presumptive to the old Trevelyan baronetcy.)
