  • Vivian, in his Prouz Ped., calls her dau. of Bellew, but rectifies the

error in his Lippincott Ped. All the above particulars concerning Honor are confirmed by two marriage settlements possessed by the late Rev. T. W. Whale and copied for me by Dr. Prowse. t Son of Sir Roger Grenville, called ' the Great Housekeeper,' for his liberality. X In Preb. R. Grenville's Memoirs^ etc.. there appears to be an erroneous interchange of names between the children by the first wife Philippa, and those by the second wife Mary, dau. of Nicholas Cavell, of Cornwall, and widow of John Restorick.
