I observe that in Chalmers' Dictionary the mother of Locke is called Anne, whereas, in the Wrington register, I am informed that it appears as Agnes,--"1630, July 15, (married) John Locke and Agnes Keene." I believe, however, that in former days Anne and Agnes were not unfrequently confounded, so that the apparent discrepancy may not be material. The best evidence that is at present within my reach, in support of the connexion here given, is a letter from Mrs. Frances Watkins, a daughter of either Samuel or John Keene, dated "Abingdon, January, 1754," addressed to her son "Joseph Watkins, Esq., at John's Coffee House, Cornhill, London," and from which I make the following extract for the information of those who may be disposed to look into this question. She says,-- "I am allied to Mr. Lock thus: His father and my grandmother were brother and sister, and his mother and my grandfather were also sister and brother, consequently my father and the great Lock were doubly first cousins. My grandfather's sister and my grandmother's brother produced this wonder of the world. To make you more sensible of it, a Lock married a Keen, and a Keen married a Lock. My aunt Keen was a most beautiful woman, as was all the family; and my uncle Lock an extream wise man. So much for genealogy. My Lord Chancellor King was allied thus near. I forgett whether his mother was a Keen or Lock. I had this information from my aunt Darby. Mr. Lock had no advantage in his person, but was a very fine gentleman. From foreign Courts they used to write, 'For John Lock, Esq., in England.'" C. J. * * * * * Minor Queries. "_The Village Lawyer._"--Can you inform me who is the author of that very popular farce, _The Village Lawyer_? It was first acted about the year 1787. It has been ascribed to Mr. Macready, the father of Mr. W. C. Macready, the eminent tragedian. The real author, however, is said to have been a dissenting minister in Dublin, and I would be obliged to any of your readers who could give me his name. SIGMA. _Richard Plantagenet, Earl of Cambridge._--In a note in the first volume of Miss Strickland's _Lives of the Queens of Scotland_, she remarks that Bourchier, Earl of Essex, "was near of kin to the royal family, being grand-nephew to Richard, Duke of York, father of Edward IV., but did not share the blood of the heiress of March, _Jane_ Mortimer." I quote from memory, not having the book at hand; but allowing that Jane for Anne may be a slip of the pen, or a mistake of the press, where did Miss Strickland discover any second marriage of Richard, Earl of Cambridge? All pedigrees of the royal family that I have seen agree in giving him only one wife, and in expressly stating her to be mother to Isabel, Countess of Essex. J. S. WARDEN.
