In our issue of January 10. 1907, in
answer to -. E. L." of Greensville,
s. c., 1t was stated that there was no
John Earle in Virginia. This was
mistake, for we find by authenticated
facts that John Earle settled in

bringing with him the arms OF the
English family which are here given
described as 'Gules, three escallops, a
bordure engrailed or. Crest--A nag's

The family came from Essex county,

College, oxford. in 1920. He was chap

during the rebellion, and after tho
restoration was made Dean OF West
minister and Bishop Of Worcester l63S.
He was an ingenious author, and wrote.
several valuable works. FIe died 1865.
OF the family in Virginia few mem
bers can be traced as 1t is believed
that this John, the emigrant moved
quite early to South Carolina. and left
few records here. There was u Samuel
Earl or Earle. quite early In the coll

There was a Thomas Earles. sergeant
under Captain Grit, in Colonel Byrd's
regiment, 1860, being the only one OF
the name In the Colonial War; and then
there was John Eales tho doubt a cor
