Can any of your readers tell me where this _Livre des Acconts pour Chevalier Jean Francklyn en son_ [sic] _Maison au Wilsden_ now is? When the extracts were published in the _Archaeologia_, it was said to be in the possession of the late Sir John Chardin Musgrave, Bart. I have applied to the present Sir George Musgrave, and also to George Musgrave, Esq., of Gordon Square, and Bedfordshire, who is descended from Sir Christopher Musgrave, who married to his second wife a daughter of Sir George Francklyn; but neither can give me any tidings of this MS. J. K. _Lord Rosehill's Marriage._--An American paper of August 22, 1768, has the following: "Last week was married in Maryland, the Right Honorable Lord Rosehill to Miss Margaret Cheer, a lady much admired for her theatrical performances." Who was Lord Rosehill? W. D. R. Philadelphia. _Colonel Butler._--Can you give me any information respecting Colonel Butler, who fought during the civil wars, I fear, under the banner of the usurper? He belonged to a Lincolnshire family, and either his daughter or some relative married a person of the name of Hairby or Harby. AGARES. _Willesdon, co. Middlesex._--Information is solicited respecting the families of Willesdon, Roberts, Francklyn, Barne, Poulett, Atye, Troyford, and Nicolls of this place, as well as of other families known to have belonged to this parish. Any communications as to the church, its original construction, or its reconstruction about the end of the fourteenth, or beginning of the fifteenth, century, or illustrative of the general history of the parish in early or recent times, or biographical notices of its vicars, will be gladly received; and as such information may not be generally interesting to your readers, I would request contributors to address any communications they may be pleased to favour me with, to J. K., care of Mr. Fenton, Kensall Green, Harrow Road, Middlesex. J. K. * * * * * Minor Queries with Answers. _Ashes of "Lignites."_--A paragraph has been making the circuit of the public papers, recommending the use of ashes of _lignites_, to preserve esculent roots. It may have originated with some dealer in _lignites_; but plain dealers would like to be informed what _lignites_ are? RUSTICUS. [Lignite is a fossil wood carbonized to a certain degree, but retaining distinctly its woody texture. Dr. MacCulloch, _On Rocks_, p. 636., observes: "In its chemical properties, lignite holds a station intermediate between peat and coal; while among the varieties a gradation in this respect may be traced; the brown and more organised kinds approaching very near to peat, while the more compact kinds, such as jet, approximate to coal."]
