Many thanks to Louise Pequet dn Bellet for her answer to my inquiry concerning the Harrison family. Can anyone answer the following questions for me? Was Lucy HIgginson, wle of Philip LudwelL a daughter of either or CoL Humphrey was living in 1Q52? Mobile, Ala. A Descendant Messrs. Editors: Can you aid my search for ancestors of iny wife I thank you for your letter, of the Bth Instant and greatly appreciate your kindness In what you have done to aid my search for the ancestors of fay wife, Mrs. McFaxland.

I am satisfied that the father of her great-grandfather, Samuel, was William Holladay, of Tyrrell county. North Carolina, who died In 1754, leaving a will. In which he mentions sons Thomas, Joseph and Samuel, wife Elizabeth, and "my daughters," and by which he disposed of his lands, cattle and Indebtedness due him, part of was a bond due him from one John Allen, of James City county, Virginia. I am also pretty well convinced that the father of. this William was Thomas Holladay, of Chowan county.

North-Caro- lina, who died In 1744, leaving a will, in which he mentions William Holladay, who is shown later by recital In a deed to be "his son and and daughters, Hannah Warren (or De barren, it Is not certain which, but I think it is Warren), Elizabeth Burton and Mary Hutson (Hudson), whom he nominates the executrix of his will, and her three sons, to whom -he gives most of his land, of- which he had a great deal. This -Thomas was, in 1723, a resident James City county, Virginia, as appears by recitals in a deed, and shortly afterward he removed to Cbowan county. North Carolina. Whether he was an emigrant or native born I do not know, but from circumstances 1 think, he must have been born between- 1675 and 1690, most probably be- tween 1678 and 1683. In 1732 he married Mrs.

Hinton, widow of: CoL John Hlnton, who then had 11 children. He had been previously married, and I think his son William was born not later than 1705 or 1707, as he had several children before 1732 or 1733. Samuel, his youngest son, as I think, born not later as he was nominated one of the executors in the will, executed April 23. 1754, and probated 1b June, 1754, and had to be then of age. The records of James city county were burned and it is therefore now very dlffl- cut to trace Thomas.

I have seen It stated that in 1680 there was a William Holllday, Holladay, Holly-day, etc, in St. Michaels, Barbados, with a wife and four children and "a bought servant," who, the statement went, was ancestor of many of the name In Virginia, but I have not been able to learn anything further of him or his movements. This seems to imply that he or his children some- of them came to America. The change in spelling from to was made, I think, by the children of my wife's great-grandfather Samuel, and the name has since been spelled Holllday. Aberdeen, Miss.

Editors: I would like to know something of Richard West Smith, who came to this country before the War of 1812. .1 told his right name was Richard West and when he came to America he took the name of Smith. His native home was Bristol, England. He and his- wife Rachel are buried in my grandfather's- lot la Green-mount Cemetery. The following Is on the tombstone: To my father, R.

West Smith, a natlre of Brl-tol, England, departed this life' 21st October," 1854, aged 90 yean. On his wife's tombstone: To my mother, Rachel, consort of Richard W. Smith, departed this life May 14, 1861, aged 79 years. I am told the reason he took the name Smith was to keep from serving in the English Army. In the land records or wills of Baltimore property is given to Rachel Smith, mother of John Smith, and after his death to Matilda H.

Dorsey absolutely, and It seems that part of the estate was put In trust for Rezin Thomas Smith. Also the land records show that Samuel W. Smith, wno was either lather or son, purchased the Orange farm, on the Philadelphia road, and it was owned until 1847 by Samuel W. Smith and transferred to Abel Tbrbert (County Will Book, liber 381, folio 427). The original deed was from Charles Car roll of Carrollton.

Bar Harbor, Maine. Vlrarlnia Letter Box. Messrs. Editors: I wish to express my satisfaction with the general accuracy of your account of the Bassett family. I would like to add that Its earliest representatives came Into England with the Conqueror.

Their name is on the roll of Battle Abbey spelled as It is spelled today, and, as the Lords of Beaupre, they lived for many years In England. Alan Bassett signed Magna Charts, his seal bearing the same arms that still adorn the silver of the Virginia family. In the reign of Henry III, Osmond Bassett was Lord Chief Justice of England, an office corespondlng to the Premier of modern, Instead, however, of these forgotten worthies I would speak of their descendants of our own day George Washington Bassett (so named by his great-aunt and godmother, Lady Washington.) and Betty Burnet Lewis, his wife. The memory of this matchless pair is priceless to one who often shared their dally life. I cast this humble stone upon their cairn, knowing the Impulse will find, an echo in many hearts.

We, love to remember their strong feeling of clanship; their freedom from all unworthy pride; their noble disregard of "Mrs. Grundy" their brilliant talk their unstinted hospitality; their unfailing kindness, and their humble and reverent walk with God. And we repeat, what has been sajd of them before, that in contemplating their characters we realize that "kind hearts are more than eoronets, and simple faith than Norman blood." M. V. D.
