"Elizabeth (and not Mary, as stated in your note) became the wife
of John Claypole, Esquire, of Northamptonshire, made Master of the
Horse to the Protector, one of his House of Lords, a Knight and
Baronet, on July 16th, 1657, he being then Clerk of the Hanaper;
the said Elizabeth dyed August 7th, 1658, and was buried in Henry
VII.'s chappel in a vault made on purpose."
There is no mention of the writer's name in the volume, but I have found
such of the details respecting the Cromwell family as I examined to
coincide with the received authorities.

_Rev. John Paget_ (Vol. iv., p. 133.; Vol. v., pp. 66. 280. 327.).--Will
the following facts, taken from Oldfield and Dyson's _History and
Antiquities of Tottenham_, 1790, pp. 48-50., be of any use to CRANMORE?
He is quite right as to the substitution of the baptismal name _James_
to the Baron of the Exchequer, instead of John, as Dugdale has it: for
he is called "James Pagitt, Esq.," in the inscription to his memory in
Tottenham Church. He was a baron from 1631 till his death in 1638.
The authors describe him as "son of Thomas of the Inner Temple, London,
son of Richard Crawford, in the county of Northampton, son of Thomas of
Barton Seagrave, &c., in the said county." He married three wives: 1.
Katherine, daughter of Dr. Lewin, Dean of the Arches; 2. Bridget,
daughter of Anthony Bowyer; and 3. Margaret, daughter of Robert Harris
of Lincoln's Inn. The latter we find, in Ashmole's _Antiquities of
Berks_, vol. iii. p. 88., had been married twice before, and that her
father was of Reading.
Baron Paget had no children by his last two wives; but by his first,
besides two daughters, he had two sons: Justinian of Hadley, Middlesex,
_custos brevium_ of the Court of King's Bench; and Thomas.
If Cranmore can communicate to me any details of his history, I shall
feel obliged by his doing so.

_Mary Queen of Scots and Bothwell's Confession_ (Vol. iv., p.
313.).--ÆGROTUS refers, I presume, to a document which he will find in a
little volume entitled, _Les Affaires du Comte de Bodnée_, published at
Edinburgh by the Bannatyne Club in 1829. The narrative was written in
the old French, at Copenhagen. The original is still preserved in the
Royal Library of the Castle of Drottningholm in Sweden. Bothwell wrote
it on "la vielle des Roys," 1568, and appears to have given it to the
Chevalier de Dauzay, the French ambassador, to be communicated to the
King of Denmark. Dauzay received it on the 13th of January, 1568, and
placed it before the ministers of the King on the 16th of January. M.
Mignet, in his history, throws discredit on this confession, styling it
"a very adroit narrative" (_L'Histoire de Marie Stuart_, vol. i.
appendix H.); though such a self-crimination, at such a time, would seem
to any impartial mind to weigh strongly in favour of the ill-fated young
queen, whose character it tends to exculpate.
