(Ridgway) Gilbert, of Allen Street, widow of Daniel Gilbert, has one of Gov. Joseph Dudley, taken when he was sick. It has come down from Rebecca, the eldest daughter of Gov.

I am rather inclined to think it is that of Lucy Winthrop, who was brought up in the family of Judge Paul Dudley, being the daughter of his sister Ann (Dudley) Winthrop. She m. Mr. Jaffrey of Portsmouth, N. H., and d. there leaving issue. This article, like the former on the Genealogy of the Dudley Family, has been condensed and abbreviated from much more extended accounts, to suit the space it occupies in this Register. This sketch was taken in June last. The tomb is that on the highest spot of the East Burial Ground at Roxbury. Gov. Thomas Dudley was the first occupant. The inscription-plate is said to have been of pewter, and to have been taken out by some of the patriots in the Revolution to run into bullets, lead being a scarce article in that emergency. YORKSHIRE PEDIGREES. MR. EDITOR, As a very considerable proportion of the early emigrants to New England were from Yorkshire, or of Yorkshire lineage, I feel sure that the subject of this communication will interest many of your readers. While on a recent genealogical trip to England, I was so fortunate as to make the acquaintance of William Paver, Esq., of the city of York; who enjoys the reputation of being the most thorough and systematic antiquary and genealogist in the north of England. I was surprised and delighted, not only at the extent of his general information on all subjects pertaining to the origin of names and the history of families, but particularly at the number and apparent completeness of the Yorkshire Pedigrees in his possession. His collection embraces the genealogies of more than four hundred Yorkshire families, gathered from the Herald's College, the British Museum, and other sources, to which he has made important additions from his own manuscripts. Besides these, he has gathered and indexed fragments of records relating to more than two thousand Yorkshire names of an early date. I may farther add, that he was the only person I found who could read and translate, with any degree of facility and reliability, the earliest records in the Will Office at York. I understand Mr. Paver will, at a fair compensation, transcribe any documents already in his possession, or make additional researches for names, evidence, &c. As an accomplished gentleman and thorough scholar, I scarcely met his equal; and I take pleasure in introducing his name to the antiquarian public of New England. Р. К. К.
