Daniel Braams was twice married in Batavia; first, with Clara Reijers, and secondly, with a daughter of Anthonio Paviloen, Councillor Extraordinary of India. Besides several children who died young, he left the following, all born in the East Indies:--By his first marriage: 1. Maria, b. 1667; d. 1743; m. Philip David Uchelen, governor of Banda and Ternate. 2. Abigail, b. 1672; d. 1753; m. Cornelis Heinsius, _Landschrijver_ of the land of Cuyk. 3. Clara Sara, b. 1681; d. 1750; m. at Amsterdam Jan van der Burgh. By his second marriage: 4. Johannes Jacobus, b. 1683; d. 1743. His godfather was Cornelis Speelman, governor of India; he m. Maria Uijlenbroek, and died S. P. J. F. L. C. Amersfoort. P.S.--Mr. J. F. L. Coenen would feel happy if, {544} through the medium of the "N. & Q." and the NAVORSCHER, he could learn in whose possession the MS. now is, and whether the owner would be inclined to dispose of it for a moderate price.

Vandyk, is now in the possession of Mevr. de douairière Coenen, van 's Gravesloot, at Utrecht.] * * * * * GENERAL PARDONS. (Vol. v., p. 496.) In reference to the pardon to John Trenchard, Esq., here communicated in answer to me, I request permission, in the first place, to present my acknowledgments to MR. E. S. TAYLOR for his courtesy; and, in the next, to explain the motive of my inquiry. I was about to print a very long document of this nature, which was issued on the 2nd Jan., 12 Car. II. (1660-1), in favour of Colonel Richard Beke, who had married a cousin of the Protector Cromwell. It appeared to me probable that some general pardon had been already printed, and I wished either to avoid the needless repetition should the pardon to Colonel Beke prove to be in the ordinary form, or, at least, to make a comparison between that and other records of the same class. I could not, however, ascertain that any general pardon had been printed, nor have I hitherto heard of any. The pardon to Colonel Beke has been printed for _The Topographer and Genealogist_, but is not yet published. It occupies nearly seven large octavo pages, and consequently is much longer than that granted to Mr. Trenchard: speaking freely, it is between three and four times as long. It is evidently formed on a different and more ample precedent; but perhaps the main difference consists in its having relation to the tenure of landed property, and not merely to the simple pardon of offences conferred in the grant made to Trenchard, though, from the enumeration introduced in it of all imaginable offences and crimes, political and moral, it is certainly more quaint and extraordinary.
