came the husband Of the widowed sister OF
William Fitzhugh. was a grandson Of slr
Samuel Luke of Woodend in Bedfordshire,
immortalized OF pilloried in English ltera-
ture by the pen Of Samuel Butler as the hero

between 1873 and 1889, was on the maternal
side a grandson OF Sir Edward Gastwick Of
Wellington and was also related 20 the

shire. Lancelot Bathurst, who fttled in
Essex county, Va, was a son OF SifEdWard
Bathurst Of Gloucestershire and member
of q family which continued to- enjoy a
position OF social and political Distinction
in England. We observe finally that the
first Of the Peyton family to enhgrate to
the Old Dominion was sprung from the
Peytons Of Iselham, who traced'their de-
scent back to the eleventh cenury. He
was also a descendant OF Sir Thomas Os-
borne, the founder of the family now in
possession OF the Dukedom Of 1ekds.
We have dwelt at length upof these de-
tails because they furnish fof the first
time complete justification Of tip assertion
made hitherto on inadequate e1idence by
Virginia land owners that they are to an
extent unparalleled or even untpproached
in any other English colony in the North

Cavalier element Of English stciety. Mr..
Bruce has demonstrated that fhe claim is
