During the life of Dr. Cox an attempt was made by Elizabeth on some of
the best manors belonging to the See of Ely; but it was not till that
of his successor, Dr. Martin Heton, that Dereham Grange, with other
manors, were alienated to the Crown. See Dugdale's _Monasticon_, vol.
i. p. 466.]
_Quakers executed in North America._--Were there not several Quakers hanged
in North America on account of their religious opinions? And can you inform
me where an account of the circumstances attending this persecution (if
there ever was such an one) can be found?
ALFRED CONDER.
[Three Quakers were executed at Boston in 1659, viz. William Robinson,
merchant of London; Marmaduke Stevenson of Yorkshire; and Mary Dyar. An
account of the cruelties inflicted upon them is given in Sewell's
_History of the Quakers_, edit. 1725, pp. 219-227.; also in a pamphlet
entitled _A Declaration of the sad and great Persecution and Martyrdom
of the People of God, called Quakers, in New England, for the
Worshipping of God_: London, printed for Robert Wilson, in
Martin's-le-Grand, 1661. It will be found among the King's Pamphlets in
the British Museum.]
_Inscription in Fulham Church._--I should esteem it a favour if any one of
your numerous correspondents would furnish me with a correct copy of the
inscription to the memory of the son of Colonel Wm. Carlos, who so nobly
defended Charles II. at the battle of Worcester.
J. B. WHITBORNE.
["Here lieth William Carlos of Stafford, who departed this life, in the
twenty-fifth yeare of his age, the 19th day of May, 1668.
'Tis not bare names that noble fathers give
To worthy sonnes: though dead, in them they live;
For in his progeny, 'tis Heaven's decree,
Man only can on earth immortall bee;
But Heaven gives soules w^h grace doth sometymes bend
Early to God their rice and Soveraigne end.
Thus, whilst that earth, concern'd, did hope to see
Thy noble father living still in thee,
Careless of earth, to heaven thou didst aspire,
And we on earth, Carlos in thee desire."
Arms: an oak on a fesse, three regal crowns.]
_Hero of the "Spanish Lady's Love."_--Was Sir John Bolle, of Thorpe Hall,
near Louth, the hero of the _Spanish Lady's Love_? The Bolle pedigree is in
Illingworth's _History of Scampton_.
