As most of these transcripts are "privately printed" ominous words to the London bibliographerI have had some difficulty in compiling this list. It is doubtless imperfect, and perhaps some of your readers-Dr. Freshfield, for instance-may be able and willing to add to it. Cannot the City clergy assist us in this matter? There are many churches whose registers, throwing such a vivid light as they do upon the daily life of our ancestors, and historically interesting as they are, are sealed books even to their own parishioners. May I add a word upon a still larger question? What a debt London antiquaries would gladly owe to our City clergy if they would emulate the example of a few whom I could name, and give us accounts of the parishes and fabrics under their care. Many of the latter are fast disappearingSt. Michael's, Wood Street, for instance, is doomed, and, so far as I know, no written record will be left of a church whose predecessor Stow praises as a proper thing" in his time-let us who value the past and what it has bequeathed to us at least have the consolation of reading of their bygone glories. Only, do not "privately print" the books! Some day, if our kind Editor will allow me, I will specify what has been done in this direction also. R. CLARK. In reply to MR. RUTTON'S inquiry, I have to say that in 1800 the Registrar of London certified to the Commissioners, "that it is not the custom EATON FAMILY. I seek information as to the family and arms of Theophilus Eaton, Esq., Deputy Governor of the Eastland Merchants Company, agent of the King at the Court of Denmark, and the first Governor of the New Haven colony. In the collections of the New Haven Colony Historical Society there is a portrait of a young woman, which formerly belonged to Governor Eaton. In the upper left-hand corner is the inscription "Etatis suæ, 25, 1635," and in the upper There is a right-hand corner is a coat of arms. reproduction of the face, without the arms and inscription, at p. 115 of Atwater's History of the New Haven Colony.' The portrait is so darkened by age that certain features of the arms are difficult to make out. Some years ago (probably about 1864) the following explanatory writing was attached to the portrait : "Ancient portrait, formerly in the New Haven Museum, supposed to be that of a relative of Governor Eaton. At the right is the shield, divided into three pile or wedge shaped parts. On the sinister division is a running greyhound, which distinguishes the arms of the Morton family of Cheshire co., England, of which was the wife of Governor Eaton. Resting on the shield appears to be a full-faced helmet designating a baronet or knight. The crest above the helmet appears to be a ducal coronet with the feathers of the Prince of Wales. This is conjectured to have reference to the Yale family, whose progenitors were of the first order of nobility in North Wales. The maiden name of Mrs. Eaton was Ann Morton, her first husband David Yale." Some comments must be made on these statements. First as to the arms. The central part of the shield is a transposed pile, that is, the point is upwards, and at the centre of the upper edge of the shield. I should call this central pile the only pile, instead of saying that the shield was divided into three pile-shaped figures, although the portions of the shield remaining on each side are necessarily somewhat pile-shaped. A horizontal line divides the central pile (per fesse) into an upper white and lower red portion. There seem to be two charges or figures on the lower and one on the upper portion of the central pile, though, being much faded, it is quite difficult to determine their exact character, particularly that on the upper division (in chief). They may be all alike; certainly the two lower ones seem alike. It is possible that these apparent charges are simply the result of the white paint flaking off and displaying the dark olive green under coat of paint, and that the original painting showed no charges; but, if so, there is a remarkable coincidence in the size, shape, and symmetrical position of the two apparent figures in base, although the portrait shows considerable flaking of the colours. They more nearly resemble the morion shown in Elvin's Dictionary of Heraldry,' plate xxxviii. fig. 2, than any other figure shown by the authorities Í have consulted, though they may be some kind of cap or hat, or cover for a platter. There is stronger evidence of the charges in base than of the charge in chief, as already noted; and while they are probably all of the same nature, yet this is not neceɛsarily the case. That part of the shield on the sinister side of the central pile is coloured yellow, and displays a running greyhound, coloured whitish or greyish, as stated above, and "collared" apparently vert. The background of the portrait on which the arms are painted is very dark with age and is now a very dark olive green, nearly black; and that portion of the shield on the dexter side of the central pile (or the pile) is now of the same colour (dark olive) as the background, so that even the outline of the shield on that side cannot be traced. This side originally must have been either dark green or black, as any other colour would probably bave left some indications. There are fairly distinct indications on this side, however, of a running greyhound similar to that displayed on the sinister side, though the evidence is not conclusive, as but little of the figure has survived the ravages of time. The helmet I fail to make out. It may have been plainer in 1864. It was undoubtedly there, " is exceedingly however, as the "ducal coronet plain, and is of the "three leaved " variety, almost an exact counterpart of Elvin's plate xxiv. fig. 35, and the space where the helmet should be found is now of the same dark colour as the background. The mantling, however, shows very plainly, and crimson is the prevailing colour. The plume above the coronet appears to be of three ostrich feathers, like Elvin's plate xliii. fig. 38, the central feather crimson, the others either yellow or brown. I have not made much use of heraldic language in describing these arms, partly because of my own imperfect acquaintance with it, and partly because, owing to the uncertainties of detail, I thought a better description could be made at length, as above. I have spent some time searching for this coat of arms in Burke, Papworth, and similar authorities, but have found nothing at all resembling it. Can any one tell to what family it belongs? To know this would, without doubt, throw much light upon many questions connected with Governor Eaton's and allied families. The portrait was painted in 1635, doubtless in London, and in 1637 Mr. Eaton came to America. It has been conjectured that the portrait is either that of Mary Eaton, daughter of the Governor, who became the wife of Valentine Hill, Esq., of Boston, or of Ann Yale, daughter of Governor Eaton's second wife (by her first husband, David Yale), and the aunt of Governor Elihu Yale, from whom Yale College derived its name, who became the wife of Edward Hopkins, Esq., second Governor of the Connecticut colony, and after his return to England Commissioner of the Admiralty and Navy, Member of Parliament, &c., who died in London in 1657. That the portrait is that of Mrs. Hopkins seems to have been the theory of the writer of the explanatory note above quoted; but the Yale arms and crest bear no resemblance whatever to this (see Burke, "Yale, of Plas-yn-Yale, co. Denbigh," of which family was Governor Elihu Yale). Arms: Erm., a saltire gu. fretty or. Crest, a mount vert, thereon a boar az, within a net or, in the mouth an acron slipped ppr." Moreover David Yale was married to his wife Ann (Morton ?) in 1613, three years after the birth of the lady of the portrait (1610). Mather, Eaton's contemporary, in his 'Magnalia,' states that Governor Eaton's second wife was the widow of David Yale, and the daughter of the Bishop of Chester, not stating which bishop, and Prof. Kingsley, some years since, appears to have assumed, in his Bicentennial Address on the Founding of the New Haven Colony,' that she was the daughter of Thomas Morton, Bishop of Chester and Durham, which statement has been followed by the historian of the Yale family, as also by the writer of the above-quoted note. The Morton family bearing for arms " running greyhounds," as referred to in the "note," was probably (see Burke) one of two Cheshire families named Morton, with arms, first, "Ar., a greyhound courrant sa., collared vert, rimmed of the first; crest, a greyhound's head ar., collared vert, rimmed of the first"; or else, secondly, "Ar., a greyhound in full course sa., collared gu.; crest, a wolf's head." Probably the former. On this theory the arms shown must be a kind of impaling or quartering, i. e., the shield divided by lines into pile-shaped figures with the wife's arms displayed on the sinister side instead of being impaled or quartered in the ordinary way. Was this method of impaling or quartering by pile-shaped divisions ever in vogue? Bishop Thomas Morton, however, according to all authorities, was never married, and his mortuary inscription describes him as "" senex et colebs " (see Ormerod's 'Cheshire'). It has been conjectured, with considerable force, by Prof. Dexter, of Yale College, who has published some investigations on the Eaton and Yale families, that Mrs. Ann Eaton, the Governor's second wife and relict of David Yale, was the daughter of Bishop George Lloyd, Bishop Morton's immediate predecessor. He was the son of Meredydd Lloyd, of Čaernarvonshire, born 1560, Rector of Thornton and Bangor, Bishop of Sodor and Man 1600, Bishop of Chester 1604, where he died Aug. 1, 1615, and was buried in his own cathedral. His arms, according to Burke, were "Sa., three nags' heads erased ar." If his will could be found it might settle the question of the ancestry of Ann (Yale) Eaton, who is the ancestor of so many families, English and American (Eaton, Jones, Yale, Hopkins, &c.). Certainly there were alliances between these Welsh families of Yale and Lloyd about this time. For instance, John Lloyd, LL.D., "Cambro Britanus," died Feb. 20, 1607, cet. seventy-four, and his wife Elizabeth_Dec. 12, 1590, and they with their daughter Francisca, wife of David Yale, LL.D., are all interred in Chester Cathedral, not far from the remains of Bishop Lloyd (Ormerod's 'Cheshire,' i. 192-3). The portrait is No. 250 of the New Haven Historical Society's Collection.' Nos. 251 and 252 are portraits repectively of an English cardinal and bishop. They also are from the Old Connecticut Museum, and were undoubtedly received at the same time and from the same source as No. 250. They probably all belonged to the Eaton family; and the three portraits very much resemble each other and seem to confirm the statement of Mather, that Governor Eaton's wife was the daughter of the Bishop of Chester. Were it not for the evidence that Bishop Morton died unmarried, one might readily suppose them to be portraits of Bishop Thomas and Cardinal John Morton, who, as is well known, were of the same family. Can any one give references to printed works containing portraits of any the Bishops of Chester prior to 1660; and particularly of Bishops Morton and Lloyd, and also of Cardinal Morton? The identification of these portraits might solve the problem. If the lady's portrait is that of Mary Eaton, wife of Valentine Hill, or any other of the Governor's daughters, then the arms are probably those of Governor Eaton himself; but, so far as known to the writer, the Governor used no arms, a seal sometimes used by him on New England documents being a plain device bearing the initials T,E. ; but |
