rified with the intimation of such a procedure, fled immediately to Frankfort on the Maine; and seating himself at the gate of a person who kept a considerable silk manufactory, was asked by him, what occasion brought him thither? Having made an ample and satisfactory relation, the old man told him, he likewise had fled thither on account of his religion; that he observed, by the whiteness of his hands, he had not been used to hardships; therefore, if he would live with him, he should only keep his accounts, and supervise his workmen. In that station he behaved so discreetly, and agreeably to his patron, that he married him to his niece, and at his decease bequeathed unto him his whole fortune. Soon after which, having no hopes of returning to his native place, on account of the severities still in force against the Protestants, he, and his wife, Barbara, took advantage of that offer which the policy of Queen Elizabeth held out, of a safe asylum in this kingdom; and coming over to England, settled at Canterbury, where we find him charged, in 1568, to the poor's rate of the Walloon church." This Laurence des Bouveries appears to have been attended, or followed to England by others of his family. Edward, his eldest son by his first wife, Barbara Vanden Hove, married, at Cologne, Mary, daughter of Jasper de Fournestraux, by Mary Tiberkin, whose father was burnt, in Germany, for his adherence to Protestantism; and had issue, EDWARD, born in 1621, who became an eminent Turkey merchant-acquired an ample fortune—was knighted by James II.-married Anne, daughter and coheiress (with Jane, wife of Sir John Holman, Bart.) of Jacob de la Forterie, of London, merchant, by whom he had eleven children, and died at his seat, at Cheshunt, in Hertfordshire, in 1694, leaving with other issue, SIR WILLIAM DES BOUVERIES, who was created a Baronet on the 19th of February, 1713-14. He married, first, Mary, daughter of James Edwards, Esq., of London, by whom he had only one son, who died young; and secondly, Anne, daughter and sole heiress of David Urry, Esq., of London, son of John Urry, Esq., of Mill Place, in the Isle of Wight. By this lady he had issue :-1. Edward, his successor;-2. Jacob, successor to his brother;-3. Christopher, died unmarried;-4. JANE, married JOHN ALLEN PUSEY, Esq., of Pusey, in the county of Berks ;-5. Anne, died unmarried. Sir William des Bouveries was interred in the south aisle of the church of St. Catherine Cree, London, where a white marble monument, affixed to one of the pillars, bearing the arms of Bouverie, and thereon an escutcheon of pretence of the arms of Urry, has the following inscription: Near this place lies Interred, in a private vault, the body of Bart., deceased, the 19th day of May, 1717. Aged 60. SIR EDWARD DE BOUVERIE, Bart., eldest son and successor of Sir William, was one of the representatives for Shaftesbury, in Dorsetshire, in the two parliaments of George I., and in the first of George II. He married Mary, youngest daughter and coheiress of John Smith, Esq., of London, but had no issue. He was, in consequence, succeeded in dignity and estates, by his only surviving brother, JACOB, FIRST VISCOUNT FOLKESTONE. This nobleman had served for the city of New Sarum, in the ninth parliament of Great Britain; and his Majesty George II., was pleased to advance him to the dignities of a Baron and Viscount of the kingdom of Great Britain, by the names, styles, and titles of Lord Longford, Baron of Longford, in the county of Wilts, and Viscount Folkestone, of Folkestone, in the county of Kent, by letters patent, dated June 29, 1747. This nobleman, together with WILLIAM, his successor, and other issue, had a son, PHILIP, born on the 8th of October, 1745, who, agreeably to the will of Mrs. Jane Allen, sister and coheiress of John Allen Pusey, Esq., deceased, and by his late Majesty's royal permission, granted on the 3d of April, 1784, assumed the name and arms of Pusey. He married on the 21st of August, 1798, Lucy, daughter of Robert, fourth Earl of Harborough, and relict of Sir Thomas Cave, Bart. By that lady, he had, with other issue, PHILIP, born about the year 1799, who wedded, October 4, 1822, EMILY, youngest daughter of George Herbert, Earl of Carnarvon, THE RIGHT HONOURABLE CHARLOTTE, COUNTESS OF VERULAM. THE RIGHT HON. CHARLOTTE, COUNTESS OF VERULAM, is the only daughter of the late Charles Jenkinson, first Earl of Liverpool. Her Ladyship's paternal family is of old standing in the county of Oxford. Tradition describes the Earl of Liverpool as descended from Anthony Jenkinson, an eminent navigator and merchant in the reigns of Edward VI., Mary, and Elizabeth. This Anthony was Ambassador from England to the Ottoman Porte, and to the Czar of Muscovy; and returning, possessed of great wealth, he vested his fortune in lands in the counties of Oxford and Gloucester. It is, however, certain that Robert Jenkinson, Esq., of Walcot, near Charlbury, in Oxfordshire, an ancestor of the Countess of Verulam, had the honour of knighthood conferred on him by King James I., in the year 1618. He married, Anna-Maria, eldest daughter of Sir Robert Lee, of Billeslee, in Warwickshire. His son and heir, Robert, was created a Baronet by Charles II., on the 18th of May, 1661; and repeatedly sat in parliament as one of the representatives of the county of Oxford. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Robert, the second Baronet, whose third son, Charles, was father of CHARLES JENKINSON, FIRST EARL OF LIVERPOOL. This eminent person having taken the degree of Master of Arts at Oxford, repaired to London, with some literary reputation, to seek his fortune; and, through the first Lord Harcourt, obtained an introduction to King George III., as well as the favourable notice of the Earl of Bute. In 1761, he became Under Secretary of State; in 1766, one of the Lords of the Admiralty, and from 1767 to 1772, a Lord of the Treasury in 1786, he obtained the Chancellorship of the duchy of Lan : He was the son of Robert Jenkinson, Esq., whose wife, like Lady Arundel and the Countess of Derby, immortalized herself by her heroic loyalty in the civil wars.
