From every side we see traces of the popularity of Thankful. During the restoration of Hawkhurst Church, a small tombstone was discovered below the floor, with an inscription to the "memory of Elizabeth, daughter of _Thankful_ Bishop, of Hawkhurst, gent., who died January 2, 1680" ("Arch. Cant.," iv. 108). In the churchwarden's book of the same place occurs this curious item: "1675. Received by Thankfull Thorpe, churchwarden in the year 1675, of Richard Sharpe of Bennenden, the summe of one pound for shouting of a hare."--"Arch. Cant.," v. 75. Several names seem to breathe assurance and trust in imminent peril. Perhaps both mother and child were in danger. _Preserved_ is distinctly of this class: "Here lieth the body of Preserved, the daughter of Thomas Preserved Emms, who departed this life in the 18th year of her age, on the 17th of November, MDCCXII."--St. Nicholas, Yarmouth. "1588, Aug. 1. Baptized Preserved, sonne of Thomas Holman. "1594, Nov. 17. Baptized Preserved, sonne of Roger Caffe."--Warbleton. Preserved Fish, whose name appeared for many years in the New York Directory, did not get his name this way. A friend of his informs me that, about eighty-five years ago, a vessel was wrecked on the New Jersey coast, and when washed ashore, a little child was discovered secured in one of the berths, the only living thing left. The finder named the boy "Preserved Fish," and he bore it through a long and honoured life to the grave, having made for himself a good position in society. _Beloved_ would naturally suggest itself to grateful parents: "1672, July 10. Buried Anne, wife of Beeloved King."--Warbleton. This name is also found in St. Matthew, Friday Street, London. _Joy-in-Sorrow_ is the story of Rachel and Benoni over again: "1595. On the last daye of August the daughter of Edward Godman was baptized and named Joye-in-Sorrow."--Isfield, Sussex. _Lamentation_ tells its own tale, unless taken from the title of one of the Old Testament books: "Plaintiff, Lamentation Chapman: Bill to stay proceedings on a bond relating to a tenement and lands in the parish of Borden, Kent."--"Proc. in Chancery, Eliz.," i. 149. We have already mentioned _Safe-on-high_ Hopkinson, christened at Salehurst in 1591, and _Help-on-high_ Foxe, incumbent of Lydney, Gloucester, in 1661. The former died a few days after baptism, and the event seems to have been anticipated in the name selected. The termination _on-high_ was popular. _Stand-fast-on-high_ Stringer dwelt at Crowhurst, in Sussex, about the year 1635, as will be proved shortly, and _Aid-on-high_ is twice met with: "1646, June 6. Letters of administration taken out in the estate of Margery Maddock, of Ross, Hereford, by Aid-on-high Maddock, her husband." "1596, July 19. Stephen Vynall had a sonne baptized, and was named Aid-on-hye."--Isfield, Sussex.[53]
