My original intention had been to limit this Work to two volumes, but owing to the great increase of material, and a desire not to omit anything which might be useful, I have been compelled to issue this Third and final Volume.
I wish to point out that owing to the shortness of my stay at Antigua in 1888-9, it was impossible for me to examine many of the later volumes of records — a matter for regret, as otherwise many pedigrees might huve been more fully set out. In regard to marriage licences, which were formerly invariably granted by the Governor or his Deputy, present officials have no knowledge of their existence.
My thanks are due to the Publishers for the very able way in which they have carried out their difficult and troublesome work.

Oct. Ralph Payne, Lord Lavington, K.B., Captain- general and Governor in Chief of his Majesty's Leeward Islands, and a Privy Counsellor, was born in 1738, and married Francoise Lambertine, Baroness de Kolbell, of a noble Saxon family, daughter of Frederick-Maximilian, Baron de Kolbel, a general in the Imperial Service, a lady eminently distinguished. Deceasing without issue, the barony of Lavington becomes extinct, making the sixth Irish peerage which has become extinct since the Union. Ralph Lord Lavington was a nobleman mucJi endeared in private life ; and in his public capacity esteemed and re- vered. He was descended from an antient family in Devon- shire ; and one of his ancestors eminently dist^ignished himself for his loyalty to Charles I. ; but fled to the West Indies after the battle of Worcester. From a younger branch of this noble House descended the Baronet family of Payne of Tempsford-hall co. Bedford. At a very e.i.rly age his Lordship discovered those shining talents which elevated him in life. After making the tour of Europe, on the General Election in 17G8 he was chosen Representative for the borough of Shaftesbury ; and served in the successive parliaments of 1774 and 1780 for Camelford and Plympton. In 1771, he was appointed Captain-general and Governor in Chief of the Leeward Islands ; and continued in that station until 1775, when he returned to England, and was appointed Clerk of the Board of Green Cloth ; in which department he continued during the existence of it. In 1772, his Lord- ship was invested with the military order of the Bath ; and died the senior Knight of the Order. In 1795 he was re- turned to Parliament for Woodstock ; and was advanced to the dignity of Baron Lavington in October in the same year ; in 1801 he was again appointed Captain-general of the Leeward Islands, and sworn of his Majesty's most honourable Privy Council (p. 974).

Sir Charles Payne, of S' Christopher's, was created a Baronet in 1737 ; and his son Sir Gillies, the second Baronet, died 1801, when, says Courthope in his 'Extinct Baronetage, 1835,' the title became extinct. After a lapse of 27 3^ears the title was assumed by Peter Payne, esq. claiming to be a legitimate son of the last Baronet. Burke in ' Peerage and Baronetage,' states that Sir Peter " succeeded to the title in 1828, in consequence of a decree of the Court of Chancery, confirming a report, finding him the eldest son born in wedlock of his late father Sir Gillies Payne, of Tempsford, in Bedfordshire." This Wixs the cause Glascott V. Bridges Sir Peter Payne married in 1789, Elizabeth- Sarah, only daughter of Samnel Steward, esq. by whom he had issue three sons : 1, Charles Gillies, who succeeds ; he married Mary, eldest daughter of the late Rev.

St. John's Cathedral. On a white marble slab lying loose on the floor in north transept. It was formerly part of the base of a very handsome mural monument which was thrown down by the earthquake in 1843, since which time it appears to have been neglected. I even saw fragments of it in the fernery of Dr. Freeland at Parham :^ [He] was born [in the Islan]d of Saint Chri/top\_hers of]
an Enylifh Family, distinguished for its Loyalty and
Public-Spirit. His Education | [h]e [re]ceived in England, and it prepared him [for the]
Diftinctions which awaited his Return to his native
Ifland, when he was elected a Member | of the House of Assembly, and on its first Meeting,
unanimously called to the Chair of the House, in
which high Situation he gave an early | Difplay of those fuperior Talents and eminent Qualifications,
which afterwards fecured to him the CONFIDENCE
of his KING, and the | ESTEEM of his COUNTRY. On his return to England,
in 1762, he was elected a Member of the House of
Commons for the Borough | of Plympton in Devon/hire ; and from his perfect knowledge
of colonial Affairs, he was appointed, in the year 1771,
a Period of great | national Intereft, to be Captain-General and Commander- in-Chief of the Leeward Islands, at which time he
was also invefted with |
the Moft-honourable Order of the Bath. He remained in
the Exercife of his Government until the year 1774,
when he returned to England \ and was appointed a Member of the Board of Green-Cloth.
During the Period of his Residence in England he sat
in five different Parliaments | and in the Year 1795, His-Majesty was moft graciously
pleafed to raise him to the Dignity of a Peer of
Ireland, by the Style and Tit[le] | of BARON LAVINGTON of Lavington. In 1799, he
was fworn of His-Majesty's Most-Honourable Privy-
CouNC'iLjiaud again appointed | to the Chief-Command of the Lemmrd Iflands ; in the wife
and able Adminiftration of which important Truft he
paffed his latter Years |
and clofed his venerable Life.
This NOBLEMAN
was as revered for his public Qualities
as he was beloved for his private Virtues :
He blended the dignity of his high Office with the Affability
of his Dispofition and the Gracefulnel's of his Manners, | and at once commanded the Respect and conciliated the
Affection of all Ranks of People |
within the Circle of his Government. As a fincere and laftiug Teftimony of their veneration and
Regret, | The LEGISLATURE of ANTIGUA have erected this
Monument. | He died at the Government-House of this Ifland, on the
third Day of Auguft, 1807, aged 68, and was interred
at his Eftate called Carlifles.

1807, Nov. 12. At Antigua, Alexander Coates, esq ; a gentleman who did as much good to that Island as any one had done for a century. Many individuals might have had their estates out of the possession of their families, had he not stept forward and paid the mortgages, and allowed them the privilege of sending the produce of their Sugar Plan- tations where they pleased. The illiberal mind cannot say a word against such a character, as M'' Coates might have placed his money in the Britisli Funds, which would have been of much greater advantage, particularly in the time of War. Money lent as his was worth twelve per cent. ; but he had the lawful interest of the Country ; and their con- signing their crop to whom they chose was an incalculable advantage, and what is unusual on such loans. But the time when M"' Coates shewed himself was in the year 1805, when the Legislature, sanctioned by tiie late Lord Laving- ton, Captain-general of the Leeward Islands, etc. allowed the Treasurer a vote of ci-edit for £5000. M.' Coates was applied to ; but he did not at that moment think proper to lend it, that it might not be insinuated that he lent it, not by the way of doing good for the Government, but through fear of the Combined Fleets and Armies of France and Spain, who at that time threatened the Island with destruc- tion, and which were making the greatest preparation at Martinique to attack Antigua. Those Combined Fleets and Armies sailed close to Antigua, June 7, 1805 ; but his Majesty's Troops, the Officers and Seamen of the Royal Navy, who were at that time on the Island, united by the
unanimous wish of the Inhabitants, which was much to their honour, turned out, at 2 in the morning, to oppose the Enemy's landing, but they proceeded on Northward. On the 12"" of the same month, the late Admiral Lord Viscount Nelson appeared off Antigua, with his gallant ten sail of the line, in pursuit of the 22 sail of the line of French and Spanish ships, besides frigates, etc. However, during the stay in the West Indies of so great a Naval Force of the Enemy, and of Troops to the number of 13,000, the Government of Antigtia was under the necessity of incurring considerable expences, by a military encamp- ment of all ranks of the Inhabitants, which lasted 40 days, when the Enemy made their appearance ; which, when they did, their timidity was such that they passed by with- out an attempt to invade. The encampment broke up ; M"^ Coates then came forward ; nor was it the first time that he had assisted the Government. He, now, under the sanction of the late Lord Lavington and the Legislature, lent £10,000, which was double the sum at first requested, and at a time when all danger had blown over. This may be much better seen and known by inspecting the Public Records of Antigua. His Majesty never had a more loyal subject than M'' Coates ; and in this particular he set a most laudable example to his family. Until he was infirm with the gout, he was a tall, portly, and elegant person ; his face was most manly, and very commanding. He was born April 16 (o.s.) 1734 ; and the Almighty, whom alone he feared, was pleased to take him from this life, after having sustained an untar- nished reputation for 73 years. The great wealth of which he died possessed, except a few legacies, which were imme- diately paid, he nobly and equally bequeathed to his family. His funeral was numerously and respectably attended.

by Articles of Agreement dated the 1st of Mny last past between George Redhead, party hereto, and George Redhead the younger, of the one part, and Francis Thwaites and Charles Apthorpe Wheelwi-ight, of the other part, reciting as before recited, and that Francis Thwaites and Charles Apthorpe Wheelwright had from time to time lent to George Redhead divers considerable sums of money, and on making up their account to the 30th April it appeared that the sum due to them was £7216 5s. Id., independently of divers other sums they had made themselves liable to pay, and reciting that George Redhead, party hereto, had requested them from the consignments of the produce of the said plantation to pay to him £60 per month, and also from time to time to allow for the use of his children so long as he should think proper the following sums, that is to say, for Miss Redhead £30 a year, for Miss Eliza Redhead £30 a year, for the said George Redhead the younger £120 a year, for Lieut. Byam Crump Redhead £40 a year, and for Cusack Redhead £60 a year, and in case it should happen that on the 30th April 1798 the balance due to them should be less than £5000, then George Redhead, party hereto, might be at liberty to draw on them for what sum the said balance should be short of the £5000, provided the accounts of the then ensuing crop should appear to them adequate to the outgoings of the year, and when the debt should be reduced to £4000 George Redhead might be permittted to draw for £80 per month, to be reduced again to £60 when the debt should exceed £4000 ; and George Redhead had also requested them to discharge a debt due from him in respect of the said estate to the Ex'ors of Charles Kerr, Esq., deceased, as follows, £1000 in Oct. 1797, £1000 in Oct. 1798, and the balance in Oct. 1799 if not more than £1000 sterling ; and also reciting that, instead of making further advances, Francis Thwaites and Charles Apthorpe Wheel- wright had a right to retain all consignments in satisfaction of their debt, and that having some little time previous resolved to proceed against George Redhead and the mortgaged premises which would have materially injured him, George Redhead, party hereto, and George Redhead the younger, to induce them to desist had proposed that four-fifths of the crops should be consigned to them till the whole debt was paid, and that in the event of the death of George Redhead the younger they should insure the life of George Redhead, party hereto, for the whole amount ; and George Redhead the younger had consented to the consignment of the crop in the event of his coming into possession, but with such allowance made to him as is therein expressed, and he had proposed that when the whole debt should not exceed £3000 he should be allowed £20 per month instead of £10 if his father agreed and authorized them to pay it ; and it is by the said Articles witnessed that George Redhead and his son, to effectuate the said purposes and in consideration of the premises, covenant to convey, etc.; and whereas in pur- suance of the covenant George Redhead the younger, by Indenture l)earing even date with these presents, has granted to Francis Thwaites and Charles Apthorpe Wheelwright all that plantation called Fryes, etc., in trust for 99 years from the decease of his father. Now this Indenture witnesseth that for confirming the said Articles of Agreement, with respect to the debt due to the Ex'ors of Charles Kerr and the other considerations Francis Thwaites and Charles Apthorpe Wheelwright agree to pay £1000 in October yearly till the said debt is paid, and to pay to George Red- head the younger £10 per month, to Ann Redhead the eldest daughter £30 a year, to Eliza Redhead £30 a year, to Byam Crump Redhead the second son £40 a year, and to Cusack Redhead the third sou £60 a year ; and George Redhead, party hereto, in consideration of the premises grants and confirms to Francis Thwaites and Charles Ap- thorpe Wheelwright all those plantations called Fryes and Cusacks ; and lastly George Redhead constitutes the Hon.

The following description of the Royall mansion (Hob- goblin Hall) at Medford, Mass., has been taken from 'Our Colonial Homes,' by Samuel Adams Drake. This house stands at the left side of the old Boston road not half a mile out of the village. "The gi-ounds, once laid out in most correct taste, were separated from the highway by a low brick wall. From the gateway, flanked by tall wooden columns, a broad avenue, bordered with aromatic box, led straight up to the house, situated at some seventy paces back from the road. The space between was embelHshed with shrubbery, fruit, and shade trees. To the right as you looked toward the mansion was the driveway, with a massive stone gatepost of imposing size standing at either side .... Imagine a very large, three-story brick house, sheathed entirely in wood, except at one end, and having, as is customary when the upper story is lower studded, the upper tier of windows smaller than those underneath them. All the spaces below the windows of the east front, toward which I was looking, were filled in with panels, so that from ground to cornice the windows rose in the form of columns .... SuflBcient unto himself, no doubt, with his gardens, his slaves, and his rich wines, was the old Antigua merchant, Isaac Royall, who came in 1737 from his tropical home, bringing his tropical habits with him, to rear what passed for a palace in his day, in the country village, for such he found it. Isaac Royall the first, the author of this charming country-seat, soon died, and was succeeded by Isaac the second, who inherited the five hundred paternal acres, " turf and twig," with the mansion, human chattels, and other worldly possessions of his deceased sire.
" The carriage-drive terminated at the back of the mansion in a court-yard paved with small, smooth beach stones, through the interstices of which the grass grew thickly. To the right of the drive were the stables, while just beyond the house were the slave-quarters, fronting on the court- yard, which was thus enclosed upon three of its sides. The two-story brick building occupied by the negroes was still remaining, the last visible relic of slavery in New England. The deep fire-place in which the blacks had prepared their food was still there .... On the fourth side of tlie court- yard there rose a high brick wall, similar to that already mentioned, which opened by an arched gate-way into another beautiful garden, in which some of the old box- trees and clumps of lilacs were still growing here and tb.ere. A gravelled walk led to the farther end of the garden, where an artificial mound with two terraces had been raised to make a base for a summer-house on which a dilapidated figure of Mercury, minus wings and arms, was poised, unable to fly, unwilling to fall. The garden front of the house overlooked this enclosure, evidently the favorite resort of the family in the cool of the evening. The summer house, a veritable curiosity, displayed much beauty of design, with its panels, its fluted pilasters, and its bell-shaped roof. An artist made the plan for this little structure, now so delightfully ruinous and picturesque. There was a trap- door in the floor, which, when raised, disclosed a cellar, formerly used for the storage of ice, so that beauty and utility were here combined.
"The Royall mansion was modelled after that of a nobleman at Antigua . . . ."
After the battle of Lexington Isaac Royall retired to Boston, and later he " seems to have fully made up his mind to go back to Antigua, but had too long delayed. He now took passage for Halifax ; and finally, when Howe, with his long train of refugees, arrived from Boston, he also departed for England, and there died, sighing for his beautiful home in America, and striving to the last, though always unsuccessfully, to avert the forfeiture of his estate

.... Lingering in the entrance hall only long enough to admire the elaborately carved balusters and the panelled wainscot, I first passed into the suite of apartments at the right, the reception-rooms proper of the house. These rooms were separated by an arch, in which sliding doors were conceiled ; and from floor to ceiling the walls were panelled in wood, the panells being of single pieces, some of which were a full yard in breadth. In the rear of these apartments, and opening to the north, were two alcoves, each flanked by fluted pilasters, on which rested an arch set off with mouldings and carved ornaments ....
" The second floor was furnished with four chambers, all opening on one spacious and airy hall. Of these, the north- west room only demands special description, because it was the best. It had alcoves similar to those already mentioned in the apartments below ; only, instead of panelling, the walls were covered over above the wainscot with hangings of leather, stamped in gorgeous colors of red, green, and bright gold, with flowers, birds and beasts of Chinese creation. On this side only were seen the original windows, with their heavy frames and small panes, the kitchen, with its enormous brick oven, still in perfect repair, and its iron chimney-back, handsomely embo.ssed with the Royall arms."
In the same book is an illustration of the Pepperell mansion at Kittery on tlie sea coast of Maine, where Sir WilKam Pepperell, 1st Bart., the conqueror of Louisburg, lived and died. Until the death of the elder Pepperell in 1734 this house was occupied by his own and his son's families. The lawn in front reached quite down to the water, and an avenue of ^ mile in length skirted by trees led all the way to the house of Colonel Sparhawk, a little east of the village church. It used to be said that Sir William could ride to the Saco, 30 miles distant, without going ofi' his own possessions. By his will he made the son of his daughter Elizabeth and Colonel Sparhawk his residuary legatee. The latter took the name of Pepperell, and was created a Baronet ; as a loyalist he went to England in 1775, and had his estates confiscated. In Longfellow's Cambridge mansion there is, or was, a portrait of two children, William and Elizabeth Royall Pepperell, by Copley. A picture of the victor of Louisburg, painted by Smibert in 1751, is in the Essex Institute at Salem. His tomb is at Kittery.
