805	--- "Abercorn: The Hamiltons of Barons Court" by William J Roulston, 2014, page 90-1 There was no member of the family quite like the 1st Marquess before him, nor has there been one since. Anthony Malcomson, in the only recent essay that considers him in any detail, believed him to be "perhaps a fitter subject for fiction than biography". Elsewhere he has described him as "that truly proud northern leviathan". The Marquess' great-grandson, Lord Ernest Hamilton, who devoted a chapter to him in his book "Old Days and News", wrote that while he "could not, strictly speaking, lay claim to be reckoned, on all points, an exemplary character, he was, beyond question, an interesting one". A contemporary, the novelist Lady Morgan, wrote, "He was so organised to be the man he was that no education or example could have made him otherwise. Had he occupied the throne of his ancestors, he would have been the justest despot that ever reigned." The society hostess Lady Holland observed, "He is haughty and capricious, with enough of vanity to make him do a generous action, and with a dash of madness to make him do a lively one." Many of those who have commented on him have focused on his eccentricities or behaviour arising from his undoubted pride --- stories that he insisted his maidservants wore white gloves when changing the bed sheets or that he wore his Garter while out shooting. . . . His friend Sir Walter Scott called him "much misrepresented". The Marquess conduct at times may well have earned him the epithet "Don Magnifico" . . . --- "The Scots Peerage" (Edinburgh, Scotland: David Douglas, 1904), volume I, page 66-8: John James, ninth Earl of Abercorn, only son of the Hon. John Hamilton, was born after his father's death, July 1756. He was educated at Pembroke College, Cambridge, where he graduated M.A. in 1776, and was elected member of Parliament for East Looe, in Cornwall, on a vacancy in November 1783, and chosen for St. Germans at the general election 1784. He succeeded his uncle in 1789, as Earl of Abercorn in Scotland, viscount of Strabane in Ireland, and Viscount Hamilton in Great Britain. On 19 Jul 1790 he took the oaths and his seat in the House of Lords in Ireland. At the general election of the sixteen representatives of the Scots Peerage, 11 July 1790, the clerks refused to receive his signed list, as he had been created a peer of Great Britain since the Union. The question was carried to the House of Lords, where, 13 May 1793, in a committee for privileges, the point was decided in his favour. Meanwhile the Earl was created on 15 October 1790, Marquess of Abercorn; and was sworn of the Privy Council in Ireland 7 February 1794. He was nominated a Knight of the Garter 17 January 1805, and installed at Windsor on St. George's Day, 23 April following. A curious account of the almost royal progress of the Marquess and his family through Scotland on their way to Baron's Court in August 1813 is given by Sir Walter Scott.* He married first, 20 June 1779, Catherine, daughter of Sir Joseph Copley, of Sprotborough, co. York, Baronet, by Mary, daughter of John Buller of Morval, Cornwall, and by her (who died at Stanmore Priory, Middlesex, 13 September 1791, and was buried 19 September, at Stanmore) had six children. . . . The Marquess married, secondly, 4 March 1792, his cousin, Lady Cecil Hamilton, daughter of his uncle George already mentioned, and by her had a daughter. . . . The Marquess married, thirdly, at her brother Viscount Sudley's house in Dover Street, Piccadilly, 3 April 1800, Lady Anne Jane, relict of Henry Hatton of Great Clonard, in the county of Wexford, member of Parliament for the borough of Donegal, to whom she was married October 1783. She was born April 1762, eldest daughter of Arthur Saunders, second Earl of Arran, in Ireland, by his first wife, the Hon. Catherine Annesley, only daughter of William, Viscount Glerawley. She died, without issue, at Naples 3 May 1827. The Marquess died 27 January 1818; his will, dated 18 March 1809, with four subsequent codicils, was proved in London 9 May 1818, and was succeeded by his grandson. * "Life of Scott" iv. 95. Sir Walter was a frequent visitor to Stanmore Priory, and while there in April 1807 was correcting a proof of the Introduction to "Marmion", Canto 1., which contains the complimentary lines on Pitt and Fox. Lord Abercorn suggested that the tribute to Fox should be heightened, and it is said he himself penned several lines of eulogy. "Familiar Letters", i. 82. The "Lady of the Lake" was dedicated to the Marquess.	Hamilton, 1st Marquess Abercorn John James (I00440)

807	--- "Derby Mercury" 22 Aug 1755, page 2: Last week the Right Hon. the Countess Gower, and Lady Frances Vernon, were over-turned in a chaise near Trentham in Staffordshire. Lady Gower has since been brought to bed of a dead son.	Leveson-Gower, Stillborn Son (I148)
808	--- "Edward Gibbon, 1737-1794" by D.M. Low, 1937, page 3-5: Gibbon was in fact under five feet in height, and Lord Sheffield remarks that although he became extremely corpulent in later years, his bones were small and finely made. Fanny Burney gives a vivid confirmation of this. She met Gibbon for the first time in 1782 when she was in the first flush of fame from Evelina. 'His neat little feet are of a miniature description and with these as soon as I turned round he hastily described a quaint sort of circle, with small quick steps and a dapper gait, as if to mark the alacrity of his approach, and then, stopping short when full face to me, he made so singularly profound a bow that -- though hardly able to keep my gravity -- I felt myself blush deeply at its undue but palpably intended obsequiousness.' . . . Miss Burney found his look and manner 'placidly mild, but rather effeminate,' and his voice when he talked with Sir Joshua 'gentle but of studied precision of accent'. Most witnesses agree on his deliberate and rather affected manner of speaking, and Suard says he spoke in a falsetto tone. . . . With age he gave increased attention to his appearance. In the year after his appointment as a Lord of Trade he had a tailor's bill for £145 14s. 10-1/2d. His taste was loud even for that colourful period. We can still read of his 'Burgundy coloured cloth frock with orange shag velvet waistcoat, laced with gold and silver lace,' etc. Quantities of lavender water, pomade and powder were no doubt not exceptional, but it is difficult not to smile at his using bandeaux for the hair at night. He wore his own hair in later years. A lock preserved in the British Museum is of a deep red colour with few signs of grey. --- "Northampton Mercury" 25 Jan 1794, page 4: Thursday died, at his lodgings in St. James's-street, Edward Gibbon, Esq. author of the celebrated history of the decline and fall of the Roman empire, &c. -- Mr. Gibbon was in his 58th year. He had come several months ago on a visit to England, and purposed again returning in the Spring, to his charming house at Lausanne. He had lately undergone the palliative operation for the hydrocele, but the cause of his death was a gouty spasm in the stomach. His sufferings were short, for he enjoyed his usual flow of spirits, and conversed with as much gaiety as he writes, the night before his death.	Gibbon, Edward (I00383)

Cremation at Golders Green on Tuesday, Feb. 14, at 12.30. No flowers. --- https://pops.baylor.edu/ 18 November 1907 - Paris Monday. 18th [November 1907]. I took leave of Angela Reinelt whose guest I have been in Paris & left by 10 o'cl train for London where I arrived at 5 after a perfectly calm passage. Bessborough kindly sent his motor brougham to the station to fetch me & with it a note to say Connie wanted me to dine with her tonight as she was giving a party to celebrate her son Eddie's engagement to Clare Philips & he wd take me there in the motor if I wd go. I agree to this & he fetched me & took me to 8 Onslow Gardens. I met the bride elect & her father & mother Mr & Mrs Philips. Eddie was not there as he had retired into a nursing home to have a cyst cut out of his neck. The Philips invited me down to Montacute for the wedding on 3rd Decr & I accepted. I got home after 11 very tired. Clare Philips seems a nice bright girl & Eddie has been taken into partnership as a solicitor by her uncle, wh makes the marriage possible. --- https://pops.baylor.edu/layard/ 2 December 1907 - Montacute House, Montacute, Somerset Monday. 2nd December [1907]. I left Inwood & went by train to Yeovil whence I drove in a fly to Montacute to stay with Mr & Mrs Philips on the occasion of the marriage of their girl Clare to my nephew Edward Eliot. Found Connie already there-she had got a violent cold in her head & I had to get her to keep most of the afternoon in her room by a warm fire & she got better. Montacute is a lovely old house in the style of Hatfield but not well kept up & it was very cold & draughty. There was a large party staying in the house relations of both families. The wedding gifts were all displayed on the billiard table & many neighbours came over to see them. Mr Philips' aged mother-of 91-lives in the house-a charming little rosy cheeked old lady who entered into all that was going on & is very courteous & kind to all. Miss Buller (daughter of Sir Redvers) was here-to act as one of the bridesmaids. Evely Eliot, the brothers of the bride & her married half sister &c. In the evening there was a dance in the hall & several neighbours came over amongst them my niece Mildred Mansel & her husband. It was a very cold night. Connie seemed to have recovered from her cold & danced energetically most of the evening-with men and women. --- https://pops.baylor.edu/layard/ 3 December 1907 - Montacute House, Montacute, Somerset Tuesday. 3rd [December 1907]. The wedding day. Mr Philips took me in a motor over to Brimpton to see Sir Spencer Ponsonby Fane grandfather of the bride. Sir Spencer showed me some of his interesting collections such as buckles of wh he has a lot-pictures-fans-china &c. Amongst other things he showed me the hour glass wh had stood in the Ducal Palace in the room of the Council of Ten wh had been given to Lady Westmorland & identified by Mr E. Chaney- We had to hurry over the visit & get back to an early lunch before the marriage wh was at 2 o'cl. We drove to the church wh was very near the house. The Church was full & the bride & her father arrived soon after us. Evely Eliot played the organ & began with a hymn sung by the choir. All went well-the church was crowded & prettily decorated with flowers. After the service Mr Philips took me to see the remains of the Abbey convent close by wh had belonged to some French monks who were dispossessed by Henry VIII & their lands given to the Philips family. We returned to Montacute & tea &c was served in the hall many neighbours having come in to it. The happy pair started abt 5 for London & the next day left for Venice where they are to stay at Ca' Capello wh I have lent them. We had a quiet evening & went early to bed. Old Sir Spencer Ponsonby proposed the health of the Happy Pair before they departed. He is over 80 but yet hale & hearty.	Eliot, Edward Granville (I00252)

Lily's father, Lieutenant-General Sergey Nikolaevitch Plaoutine, had a post at the imperial court. Her mother was an English-woman whose maiden name had been Pringle. Lily and Elsie were apparently distantly related, for Lily claimed her friend as her fifth half cousin. Lily would drive over from Peterhof in a low carriage with a pair of ponies in Hungarian harness, with bunches of feathers on their heads. She, Elsie, Eleanore, Maria, and a few others had their own secret society of 'Bondfriends'. Page 51: . . . on the journey they met Elsie's girlhood friend from St. Petersburg days, Lily Plaoutine.

The brother of my great-grandfather Alexander Raczynski (1826-1877), writer, historian, diplomat, ending his diplomatic service he settled in the family estate in the village of Mitino, selling the rest of their possessions for the wife and daughter of his studies, to send his son to the military service, while continuing to host Bulgarians students. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --- http://magazines.russ.ru/nj/2003/233/sherbat.html In Smolensk, my family members were shot: my cousin Irina is 17 years old, my cousin Dmitry is 14 years old, my uncle Sergey Borisovich Shcherbatov with his wife Elizaveta, nee Plautina, aunt, Princess Khovanskaya. Her line after this "purge" ceased. I wrote down all the coordinates, but I did not immediately tell anyone. I arrived the next day alone, opened the first box, there were about 20 tons of documents. I did not get the Shcherbatov case, but it was supposed to be there. I doubt that I could find him alone. But here, one might say, was lucky: Alexander von Engelhardt helped me. From him I learned the history of the archive and details of the shooting of my family. .. . The Cheka began to operate from the end of 1917. The former gendarmes and policemen, nobles, merchants and priests, cadets, schoolboys, students were exterminated. Shot not only adults but also children. "The Shcherbatov case" was found in documents for 1921: arrest, interrogation, sentence to be shot. Uncle's wife, who was very fond of Russia, was a half-English woman, and the reason for the arrest with the wording "English spies" was the family's affection for the English language. Something I was enchanted by Engelhardt, who himself interrogated my relatives: "Irina's cousin, she seemed to be afraid of nothing. She said: "I hate you. You are traitors to my homeland. " She was shot the next morning. There were also two Chekist brothers, Pavel and Grigory Neubergi, who at that time were twenty and twenty-one years old, then they changed their surname to Newberg. These two, after the Civil War, worked in Berlin with Rosengolz at the USSR Ministry of Trade. Both fled in the 28-29 years from Berlin to the West, capturing quite a lot of money. Paul married Olga Zhigalova, also from Smolensk, a well-known woman in America, who wrote an interesting book about her Smolensk life. Paul died in the United States. Little detail: my sister Elena accidentally met Olga in Switzerland, and they maintained close friendly relations for a long time, until I told Elena that Olga Zhigalova's husband had interrogated our sister Irina. The rupture somewhat spoiled the social status of Mrs. Zhigalova. Nevertheless, their son became a lawyer, married the daughter of the American millionaire Vanderbild. And I remember Irina. Last time we met in Petersburg, she was then 15-16 years old, I was 6 or 7. Very beautiful and affectionate, always took me in my arms and kissed her head. I had such a special feeling for her. Uncle Sergey, a well-known artist, loved his estate near Smolensk, not far from the Goat Hills, and did not want to leave it. He gave them out as "British intelligence officers" Alexander Engelhardt. In the Goat Hills, with the shooting of my relatives, the GPU cemetery began, where five thousand Polish officers were destroyed many years later. ["The Goat Mountains" refers to Kozy Gory, a hamlet in the Smolensk area, close to Katyn.This was the site of the infamous massacre of Polish officers in WWII. GPU (Gosudarstvennoye Politicheskoye Upravlenie - State Political Directorate) was the official designation of the Cheka 1922 - 1923. Apparantly some or all of the Katyn Forest victims were buried in Kozy Gory.] . . . He could not know that part of my family was left under Stalin's government, but I did not want to go into details. The fact is that two sisters from the Shcherbatov family who were shot, Tatyana and Elizabeth, were able to escape. Tatiana went to Petrograd. She was helped by the friends of her grandfather Shcherbatov's sister, the famous countess Uvarova, an archaeologist who had high prestige in Russia. The countess' husband, who was born Shcherbatova, Earl Uvarov was also a well-known archeologist, a specialist in Scythian burials. Many burial mounds were found by this couple. Uvarov by this time died, the countess went to Yugoslavia. Tatyana in Petrograd was helped by good acquaintances of the Uvarovs, just kind people. Tatiana painted beautifully, they sent her to Georgia, to Tiflis. She graduated there school and became a famous painter-restorer. She sketched the unique Georgian frescoes that adorned the Orthodox churches, which were preserved in the mountains from the 8th to the 9th centuries until the arrival of the Arabs. Now there's Muslim Chechnya. I have a magazine "Paris Match", dedicated to her work and life stories. She is considered the only expert in Georgian frescoes in Russia. Tatyana, undoubtedly, has done a tremendous historical work. Most of the drawings were in the Tiflis Museum, and many died in 1990-91 during a fire, during the riots in Georgia during the partition of the USSR. After that, in 92-93 she returned to Moscow, bought a house in the Moscow suburbs, and lives there. I saw her only once in 91, when I came to Moscow. Tatiana specially arrived for a meeting. Very sweet and intelligent, she did not want to talk about Smolensk: "We will not talk about this. I suffered so much. " Financially, she was helped from France, where money was left for her. My aunts - Mary and Anyuta (Golitsyna), born Shcherbatov, died. But before the revolution, Grandma Shcherbatova, the father's mother, had one of the famous diadems of Empress Josephine, the wife of Napoleon Bonaparte. In 1914, the diadem, after the restoration, was sold. Two sisters inherited money. Anyuta invested some money in a plot of land in the south of France, near Cannes. This property is actually owned by Tatiana and Elizabeth. I saw Elizabeth only in my childhood, at the age of six. I know that she, after parting with Tatiana, fled to Siberia and was teaching English in Krasnoyarsk, died there, and very early. Tatyana now should be about 96 years old. She was married to Kovalevsky, who was a student of the St. Petersburg Lyceum in the early 1930s. He was shot in a few years. From this marriage there was a daughter and a son. Daughter, known in Moscow as a professor of history. I saw her in Belgium when she came to visit my sisters, Olga and Anna, who, basically, and kept in touch with her. She seemed to me an interesting interlocutor, a competent historian, an intelligent, but somewhat exalted woman. And with her son, a pretty nice boy, but similar to a long-haired hippie, I could not find a common language. He is now about 40 years old, probably changed, turning into an elegant young man. Maybe I took a bit of a preoccupation with him? He was not an angel in his childhood. Recently, analyzing old papers, I found my letter, sent from Constantinople "dear aunt Anyuta." I was very surprised by my intelligence. I quote this funny document. On the other hand, it is clear from the written, what kind of sympathetic, kind and always ready to help was my father's sister. At all, Aunt Mary was no different from her in character. Therefore, my family members were calm for Tatiana and Elizabeth, confident that they are in a good financial situation. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [THE FOLLOWING WAS TRANSLATED THROUGH GOOGLE TRANSLATE FROM A BLOG ENTRY THAT NO LONGER EXISTS.

Sea Comp. in the Year 1726. --- "Edward Gibbon, 1737-1794" by D.M. Low, 1937, page 6-8: In the year 1720 the South Sea Bubble was pricked; in a moment of time the nation's speculative frenzy changed into a vindictive clamour against those upon whom a few hours previously they had been pressing their anxiety to share in certain and unlimited wealth. The facts were obscure of unprecedented complexity, and it was only clear that there was no help in the law. This was nevertheless instantly felt to be one of those major calamities in the midst of which legality is silent, and Parliament took upon itself the task of interpreting the country's moral indignation. If some people could be made to smart, everyone would feel better. There were members of the government such as Lord Sunderland or Mr Secretary Aislabie upon whom the blow might have fallen as well as on any, but the chosen victims were the members of the committee of the South Sea Company. They were held under arrest for a time, they were compelled to make sworn returns of their property, they were forbidden to alienate any part of it, and then a Parliament -- whose own prolonged existence was of doubtful validity -- sat to consider what was to be done to each culprit. They were to be punished severely, perhaps reduced to beggary. Prominent among these scapegoats was Mr Edward Gibbon, a successful army contractor, a member of the Board of Customs in Queen Anne's last administration, a man of Tory convictions and suspected Jacobite sympathies. His fortune had been declared at a sum above a hundred thousand pounds, and after Parliament had exhibited every mood from justifiable concern to the most reckless spite and puerile levity, the vote on him decided that all was to be given up with the exception of ten thousand pounds. But one of whom Bolingbroke had remarked that he had never conversed with a man who more clearly understood the commerce and finances of England was a match for the country gentlemen's assembled wisdom. By settlements which were secure in law, whatever moral judgments might be passed on them, he had already safeguarded a great part of his fortune*, and while his grandson, the historian, remarks that by his skill and industry and credit (which appears to have been little damaged) he created a second fortune not inferior to the first, it must be noted that the great part of the landed property, which he was to bequeath eventually, was already in his possession before the disaster of 1720. In fact, when the dust of the battle subsides, he is decently established at Putney in a fine house with ninety-two acres of land. There he reigned for the remaining sixteen years of his life a tyrant to his family, as we are told, and the oracle of his neighbours among whom he was the oldest, richest and wisest. * "The Particulars and Inventory of Edward Gibbon, Esq., 1721". 'The freehold estate at Putney, the manor of Lenborough and farm, the manors of Buriton and East Mapledurham, the reversion of Moon's farm and 1/36 share in the New River Water were in pursuance of marriage articles dated 28th-29th March 1720 settled and conveyed to my late mother Hester Acton and Francis Acton and their heirs in trust for my wife's jointure and other uses.'

Late Senior Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, Volume 8, by Andrew Coltee Ducarel, 1760, page 5: After a useful and well spent life, this good and worthy person left the world, Feb. 5, 1760. He died at Whaddon-Hall, with great ease, and without the usual agonies of death, and was buried in a decent manner, on Monday, Feb. 11, 1760, in Fenny-Stratford Chapel. He left particular directions as to his funeral, and desired, that no persons might be invited to it, except the Mayor and Aldermen of Buckingham, to each of whom he left his first Volume of Notitia Parl. and a small legacy beside. Mr. Cole, Rector of Bletchley, Mr. Francis, the Minister of Fenny-Stratford, and Mr. John Gibberd, Curate of Whaddon, attended in a Mourning Coach, and near 60 of his neighbours and tenants on horseback. The last offices were, by particular desire, performed by Mr. Gibberd. The following inscription (drawn up by Dr. Willis) on a white marble stone, enchased with black, is directed to be put over him. Hic situs est Browne Willis, Antiquarius, Cujus avi clmi. aeternae memoriae Thomae Willis, archiatri totius Europae celeberrimi Defuncti die Sancti Martini, A.D. 1675, Haec capella exiguum monumentum est. Obiit 5 Die Feb. A.D. 1760, Aetatis suae 78. O Christe, soter et judex, Huic peccatorum primo, Misericors et propitius esto. --- "The History and Antiquities of the County of Buckingham" Vol. 4, George Lipscomb, 1847, page 12-13: The following memoranda, respecting the early days of Willis, and those of some of his children, in the hand-writing of the Antiquary, may not be considered void of interest: "I, Browne Willis came to school at Westminster, when Thomas Sprat was Captain or Head King's Scholar there. Next after him was R. Frewin, Captain; and then Charles Aldrich; in which time (1699, 1700) I left the school, staying three years. My eldest son, Thomas, and my third son, Henry Willis, were both of this school. My second son, John, was of Eton. My eldest son went thither 1725 or 1726. My son Henry went about 1728 or 1729; and my son John, about the same time to Eton." Of his personal appearance, so often described and ridiculed, Mr. Cole has given, in his way, some amusing accounts. In one of them, he says: "When I knew him first, about thirty-five years ago, he had more the appearance of a mumping beggar than of a gentlman; and the most like resemblance of his figure that I can recollect among old prints, is that of old Hobson, the Cambridge Carrier. He then, as always, was dressed in an old slouched hat, more brown than black, a weather beaten large wig, three or four old fashioned coats, all tied round by a leathern belt, and over all an old blue cloak, lined with black fustian, which he told me he had new when he was elected Member for the Town of Buckingham, about 1707. I have still by me, as relics, this cloak and belt, which I purchased of his servant. He wrote the worst hand of any man in England, such as he could with difficulty read himself, and what no one except his old correspondents could decypher. His boots, which he almost always appeared in, were not the least singular parts of his dress; I suppose it will not be falsity to say they were forty years old, patched and vamped up at various times: they are all in wrinkles, and do not come up above half-way of his legs. The chariot of Mr. Willis was so singular, that from it he was himself called "The Old Chariot". It was his wedding chariot, and had his arms on brass plates, about it, not unlike a coffin, and painted black. He was as remarkable probably for his love to the walls and structures of Churches, as for his variance with the Clergy in his neighbourhood. He was not well pleased with any one, who, in talking of, or with him, did not call him Squire. I wrote these notes when I was out of humour with him for some of his trick. God rest his soul, and forgive us all. Amen." . . . The annexed communication, on the same subject, is from the MS. Letters in the Collection at Penshurst, in Kent:\ From Miss Catherine Talbot to the Hon. Miss Campbell: "You know Browne Willis, or, at least it is not my fault, that you do not, for when at any time some of his oddities have particularly struck my fancy, I have written you whole volumes about him. However, that you may not be forced to recollect how I have formerly tired you, I will repeat, that with one of the honestest hearts in the world, he has one of the oddest heads that ever dropped out of the moon. Extremely well versed in coins, he knows hardly anything of mankind; and you may judge what kind of education such a one is liely to give to four wild girls, who have had no female directress to polish their behaviour, or any other habitation than a great rambling mansion-house in a country village. As. by his little knowledge of the world, he has ruined a fine estate, that was when he first had it 2000 l. per ann. his present curcumstances oblige him to an odd-headed kind of frugality, that shews itself in the slovenliness of his dress, and makes him think London much too extravagant an abode for his daughters, at the same time that his zeal for antiquities makes him think an old copper fathing very cheaply bought with a guinea, and any journey properly undertaken that will bring him to some old Cathedral on the Saint's-day to which it was dedicated. As. if you confine the natural growth of a tree, it may shoot out in the wrong place: in spite of his expensiveness, he appears saving in almost every article of lige that people would expect him otherwise in; and, in spite of his fugality, his fortune I believe grows worse and worse every day. I have told you before, that he is the dirtiest creature in the world, so much so, that it is quite disagreeable to sit near him at table: he makes one suit of clothes serve him at least two years, and as to his great coat, it has been transmitted down I believe from generation to generation every since Noah. On Sunday he was quite a beau. The Bishop of Gloucester is his idol, and if Mr. Willis were Pope, St. Martin (as he calls him) would not wait a minute for canonization. To honour last Sunday as it deserved, after having run about all the morning to all the St. George's Churches, whose difference of hours permitted him, he came to dine with us in a tie wig, that exceeds indeed all description. It is a wig (the very colour of it is inexpressible) that he has had, he says, these nine years; and of late it has lain by at his barber's, never to be put on but once a year, in honour of the Bishop of Gloucester's birth-day.

824	--- "Rough Recollections of Military Service and Society, Volume 1" by Balcarres Dalrymple Wardlaw Ramsay, 1882, page 8-9: . . . Amongst my schoolfellows at Cheam I have a wholesome recollection of the stern discipline exercised by the present Commander of the Forces in Ireland, his Excellency Sir Thomas Steele, who was coachman of the team I was leader in alongside a very skittish, and at times vicious, thoroughbred colt, the present Sir Victor Houlton, Secretary to Government at Malta. We were lashed without mercy. My particular friends were the two Eliots, the late Lord Eliot and Granville Eliot --- the former one of the handsomest young fellows I ever saw. The latter became a gallant Guardsman, and was killed in the Crimean war. Years after, when staying at St Germans, Lord St Germans showed me his uniform, medals, &c., carefully preserved in a cabinet, and listened with deep interest to all I could tell him of our school-days. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --- "Morning Post" Thursday, 4 Apr 1827: On the 2nd of April, in Dover-street, the Lady Jemima Eliot, of a son. --- "Dorset County Chronicle" 27 Feb 1845, page 3: CORNWALL.

Mahomed, 1838, page 42: Case III. Lady Louisa Cornwallis, owing to a sprain, had been unable to put her right foot to the ground for nearly two years; during that period she was attended by some of the most eminent Surgeons in London, who attributed the constant pain she suffered to deep-seated inflammation on the muscles and joints; they prescribed bleeding, blisters, vinegar, poultices, and other cold applications, which were all tried without producing any amendment. Friction, warm bathing, and bandages, proved equally unsuccessful. Mr. Mahomed, upon examining her foot, felt confident the pain proceeded entirely from one of the muscles being a little twisted, and that the Vapour Bath with his method of Shampooing would effect a complete cure. After coming out of the Bath the third time, Lady Louisa walked across the room without support, and was at the end of ten days able to take walking exercise for half-an-hour, with only slight inconvenience arising from weakness of the muscles, and is now perfectly free from the pain she suffered constantly for more than eighteen months. Brighton, September 17, 1822. [In the early 1832 edition of his book, Mahomed included the following verses written and presented to him by Lady Louisa.] Two years in agony I past, (A sprain was my complaint,) Hope long sustain'd me, but at last E'en hope itself grew faint. In vain I tried the surgeons round, No benefit, alas! I found, And every hope of cure seem'd vain; But ah! when all beside had fail'd, Thy skill, oh Mahomed, prevail'd, Though mad'st me walk again, . . . The greatest blessing that we know, In health is said to be; That blessing, under God I owe, Oh Mahomed! to thee; My lips the gratitude shall show, That in my heart doth glow, For ah! I feel too well assured, (Let all deride, and laugh who will,) That had I never try'd thy skill, I never had been cured!! --- "The Brighton Gleaner", 07 Oct 1822, page 9: Lady Louisa Cornwallis, who has been residing with us some little time, for the benefit of her health, we are happy to add, has not been disappointed in the object of her journey.

Matthew Gibbon, thus entered in Westcliffe register: "Matthew, the son of Thomas Gibbon and Alice, baptized Feb. 23, 1642." He was a linen-draper, in Leadenhall-street. He had some concern, or property, in the estate at Westcliffe; for I find, amongst the papers of his nephew, Mr. John Coppin, who was a lawyer, the following notes: "Laid out for my uncle, Matthew Gibbon, to Jan. 6, 1675. -- Notice to Mr. Master -- Horse-hire to Westcliffe, when the seizure was made -- Messenger to Westcliffe, to deliver the letter to Mr. Master." His widow, whom the Historian calls "an active and notable woman," re-married Richard Acton, goldsmith, whom she also survived, as Mrs. Bradford calls her widow. Her maiden name I have not discovered. Matthew Gibbon was dead on Sept. 14, 1709; for, by a deed of that date, between "Philip Gibbon, of London, gent. and Deborah Bradford, of the same, widow, only surviving issue of Thomas Gibbon, late of Westcliffe, in the county of Kent, by Alice, his wife, who was sister to Dame Jane Maynard," of the one part; and John Bridges, of Gray's Inn, esq. on the other part; after reciting, that, according to a settlement by Lady Maynard, an estate in Romney-Marsh was, upon the death of James Codd, without issue, descended to the said Philip, and Mrs. Bradford, as the only living children of Thomas Gibbon and Alice; the said Mr. P. Gibbon, and Mrs. Bradford, release all their right to Mr. Brydges, who had married their niece, Jane Gibbon. Mr. Matthew Gibbon had issue, by Hesther, his wife, one daughter, Hesther, married to Oliver Elliston, of St. Paul's church-yard, stationer . . . and two sons, of whom Thomas, the younger [sic], was afterwards dean of Carlisle; and Edward, the eldest . . . was a contractor for cloathing King William's army in Flanders, afterwards a commissioner of the customs, and a South Sea Director. . . . He died at Putney, Dec. 25, 1736, and his name is recorded in the Gent. Mag. Vol. VI p. 749, the name being, by mistake, printed Gibson. --- "Edward Gibbon, 1737-1794" by D.M. Low, 1937, page 8-9: Gibbon tells us that whereas his grandfather had received his education in the rough school of affairs he prepared his son for the considerable fortune which should come to him by sending him to Westminster, where he might become an elegant scholar and would certainly mingle with the highest ranks of society. It would be wrong, however, to infer for this that Edward Gibbon the first was a man of no education or too humble a position. For the greater part of his life Gibbon was remarkable ignorant and indifferent about his family history, and confesses that for all he knew his grandfather might have been a cottager's son or a foundling. The truth of the matter was very different. Matthew Gibbon, the historian's great-grandfather, was the son of a landowner at Westcliffe in Kent, whose grandfather had bought the property in Queen Elizabeth's reign. The family was believed to have been well established in the Weald of Kent long before that, and it is therefore possible that Gibbon my after all be descended from the Gibbons of Rolvenden, though not by the line which he claims in his Autobiography. Mattew was one of several children, and coming to London in the second half of the seventeenth century, is said to have made a fortune as a linen-draper in Leadenhall. At the age of twenty-five he married Hester Abrahall of All Hallows, Barking. Of his five children the two daughters made good marriages and one son, Thomas, went from St. Paul's School to St. John's, Cambridge, and became Dean of Carlisle. It is not improbable that Edward also went to St. Paul's.* *Gardiner, "Register of St. Paul's School", gives an Edward Gibbon who was at the school under Dr. Gile, i.e. 1672-97, and was a Steward of the Feast in 1701. There was another son, Matthew, who was 'not right in his head'. Gibbon appears aware of only two sons and one daughter. He does not seem to know that his aunt Catherine married her first cousin, since Edward Elliston's mother was Matthew's daughter, Hester. --- "Notes and Queries" 01 Sep 1951, page 391: Gibbon Family: Portrait. -- On December 11th 1909, a number of portraits of the Gibbon family, the property of the then Lord Sheffield, were sold at Christie's.

LVIII. p. 698, the account I sent you of the families of Gibbon and Yorke, I now send you a few additions, which I then either forgot or did not know . . . Alice (wife of Thomas Gibbon, esq.) the great-grandmother of the Historian, must have been dead in 1651; for then her husband was married again to Mary, daughter of Robert Osborne, of Hartlip, gent. and, having given up his mansion at Westcliffe to his eldest son, retired to her estate at Hartlip. The said Alice was one of the daughters of Cheney Selherst, of Tenterden, esq. Her sister Jane married, 1st Edward Austen, esq.* and afterwards Sir John Maynard, of Gubbersbury, knt. appointed one of the Lords Commissioners of the Great Seal (not Lord Keeper), March 2, 1688. He survived her many years, for she died, March 28, 1688**; he, at Gunnersbury, Oct. 9, 1690. Edward Gibbon, esq. first husband of the mother of the Chancellor, died about 1677, and was buried in the church of Greenwich, Kent. She could have been married to him but a short time, for his first wife did not die till 1674. However, she had a son by him of the name of Philip (who died a youth), half brother both to Mrs. Brydges and Lord Chancellor Hardwicke. The latter, the issue of her second husband, was born 1690. Matthew Gibbon, the Historian's grandfather, seems himself to have had some share in the estate at Westcliffe, which I can no otherwise account for, than by supposing his father died intestate, and that he took his part in the estates as co-heir by gavelkind. . . . Matthew Gibbon had a handsome house at Putney, the same (I have been told) which afterwards belonged to Mr. Wood, who published the Ruins of Palmyra, and which his widow lately pulled down. The family have a vault in the church there. I shall now throw together a series of dates, &c. collected from various volumes of your useful Magazine --- . . . "Phylip Gibbon, M.P. for Rye, in Sussex, died Mar. 12, 1762. He sat in eleven parliaments." Gent. Mag. for that year; and see vol. LVIII p. 834. In the Bibliotheca Topographica, No. XLV I find the following epitaph, which, that I may throw all that regards this family together, I here transcribe, though it does not seem perfectly to agree with the account given by Philpot, in Vill. Cant. p. 196. Inscription on a brass plate in the possession of John Beardsworth, esq. of the Hole, in Rolvenden, Kent, and taken from that church: Here resteth Robert Gibbon, sonne and Heire of Thomas, sonne and heirs of Gibbon Sackford, lineally and lawfully Descended from the familys of Sackford Hall in Suffolke, and Clan Gibbon*** in Ireland. Ob. XIII die Junii, anno D'ni MDCXVIII. * Elder brother to the ancestor of the baronets of that name. ** She had no issue by either husband -- Sir John must, therefore, have had another wife, for he left at least a son and daughter. The latter married Sir Duncombe Colchester, of Westbury, in the county of Gloucester, knt. The former Joseph Maynard, of Gunnersbury, esq. left two co-heirs, of whom Mary was second wife of Thomas Grey, second Earl of Stamford, though S.P. Gunnersbury, built by Inigo Jones, afterwards belonged to Mr. Furnese, of whose family it was bought for the late Princess Amelia. -- Lady Maynard devised (according to a power reserved in her marriage settlements) her estates to the issue of her two sisters successively in tail, among which were 200 acres of marsh land in Dimechurch, Joychurch, and Medley, subject to an annuity of £40 per annum to Merchant-Taylers school, which now continues to be paid by the family. *** Camden in Britannia, p. 984, ed. 1694, under Limerick in Ireland, says, "Near Adare stands Clan Gibbon, the lord whereof, John Fitzgerald, called John Oge Fitz John, Fitz Gibbon, and, from the grey hair of his head, the White Knight, was banished by act of parliament: but, by the clemency of Q. Elizabeth, his son was restored to his whole estate."	Gibbon, Matthew (I68)

For a long time she refused to meet 'your pet Mr Canning,' and one of the liveliest of her letters tells how she was at last entrapped into dining at the same table with him:--- 'Lady Georgina Eliot was to have a big Dinner, and which I was obliged to fix myself. I was going to Wimbledon to my Dear Melville pet, and I was ordered to make him fix a day to meet Count Worenzow (?), his Daughter, the Harrowbys, and some of the Hopes; these were the people Mr Eliot told me to name to him. . . . Lord Melville fixed upon the 29th. . . . I return'd here on Friday Evening that I might with Miss Eliot (the niece) arrange the rooms and see all in proper order. We both got up early, and gathered all the flowers we could and Dress'd the Drawing Room, after I dress'd the lady of the House to great advantage as she thinks no body does for her so well, and she did, poor thing, look very well, and was in Excellent Spirits, and put me in High Spirits also. She desired me to look well and put on all my agreeables for Count Worenzow, but I had walk'd so much in teh heat of the day, and was so busy till past five that I was quite in a real heat, and my red face bore testimony of it pretty well. Lord Melville's excuse which arrived with a tender note to me, besides, did not even cool, it, nor dressing in a hurry, and I was not able to go down before the Worenzows came in, tho' Miss Eliot told me I never look'd so well, but I was uncomfortably hot, and I had a great hot dinner in view. I waited for the arrival of the Harrowbys who are always late, that I might get in to the room with them. I heard the sign (?) at the door, my windows are not front, and therefore I bustled down stairs as fast as possible, and as I was upon the last step close to the Drawing Room door, as you know, I found myself exactly close and opposite to whom -- Do you think? -- No, you never can -- Who do you think? -- You never can guess -- the last person I expected to see, or indeed wish'd to see, but there was not a possibility of a retreat for me, when I saw a profound bow, and my eyes met such a pair of dark penetrating eyes -- can you guess? That CANNING Man. He was announced loud, and he would let me pass in before him. I thought I must have died, Lady G. was afraid to look at me, and so was Eliot, too, for they had play'd me a trick, and enjoy'd in their hearts how completely I had humour'd it by a mistake, and they guess'd my misfortune immediately. I sat myself near the door upon the sofa, and behaved very pretty, I had taken my determination in the instant and follow'd it up. I saw Charles Bentinck, and glad to do something, I gave him a kind nod, and he return'd a find low bow, and after whisper'd to Mr Eliot. Mr Canning had got to the window with Worenzow by this time, but I saw Eliot ready to die with laughing to himself, and presently up Bentinck came to me, telling me how glad he was to see me look so beautiful and in such high health, and excused himself over and over for having taken me for Mrs Canning, yet he thought she was not so tall, and he kept his glasses stuck before his eyes the while. All this he said loud enough for all the circle of ladys to hear, and lady Georgina look'd so funny and enjoyed it so much that I could kill her, and I gave her many a reproachful look all the day, for I could not get near enough to speak to her. Miss Eliot and I had fix'd to sit on each side of Eliot at the foot of the table where 12 people were to sit, and I saw the Canning Man close at my back when I stood by my chair, ready to pop into the next, but I put Miss Eliot down close to me, and he sat the other side of her, which did not save me from him, as she is like a thread-paper, and he saw me before and behind her, and talked to me, and indeed was very civil to me, and I was obliged to laugh at some of his fun which I had settled not to do (is not that like me?), but I could not help it, and as I had determined to laugh the day out, I went on and did not think of anything. I saw Lady G. from the Head of table smiling at me and watching me, and I made angry faces at her, and while I was doing so she called out and said 'pray, Mr Canning, tell me, have you heard from your friend Mr Frere since he left Town?' I did not hear his answer, but she was going on, a great many people were talking loud, but I felt that my face was no longer red, and I felt very sick, and the goodnatured Eliot close by me saw it, in a minute, and said 'Come, have a glass of your favourite red wine,' and filled it while he spoke without seeming to look at me. I took it off without looking at him, and in the instant Mr C. turned round and said 'Pray, Lady E. have you been long returned from Bath, you were very ill when you went there, and I am glad to see you so perfectly well.' The letter he franked to me there, and how he could have heard of my illness came across my mind immediately; but I answered very well according to the system I had arranged in my mind for the day. After Dinner he got by me, and we talked a quantity, and I kept hard at work with lord Melville. I was so much afraid he should name anybody else and I began after the Dinner Scene to feel that I could not manage such an attack, and Ld Melville's subject gave me plenty to keep going. One stop I was afraid of, for I was determined he should not pity me. . . . I am convinced that Man's eyes see through one, and yet I think I deceived him pretty well, tho' he did look me through, and took opportunities of speaking often to me and fixing his eyes upon me, and unfortunately the things I usually eat of were before him, and that wicked lady G. Eliot alwys said 'pray Mr C. help Lady E to that, as she likes it, but help her as if you helped a bird,' and that obliged me to speak to him which she wanted.

But it was not possible for every tsarist citizen to have a dozen or two books out of a peasant class, and many were drawn to education. Because the idea to organize a public library, like ordering time, for many decades worried the minds of indifferent townspeople. Maria Platina, a RESIdent of Tsarskoe Selo, undertook to make a noble undertaking a reality. She decided to donate her home library, numbering several thousand volumes, to the common cause. Under the current rules it was necessary to determine the charter of the library, regulating its activities. All this fell on the shoulders of the founder, a woman educated and aimed at the fulfillment of her plan. To write the statute of the library, its approval in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Mary Mikhailovna had to spend a lot of time and effort. Finally, in 1901 the public library in Tsarskoe Selo opened its doors to the readers of the city and the surrounding neighborhoods. For public use, approximately six thousand volumes were put on the library's bookshelves, mostly in Russian. The experts of English, French and German were not forgotten, for them a wide choice of literature was offered (a third of the total number of books was in foreign languages). Spouses of Plautina Little is known about Maria Mikhailovna Plautina. We know that she is the wife of Major-General Nikolai Sergeevich Plautin, who was in command of the Commander-in-Chief of the Guard of the Petersburg District (data for 1917). In the family, Sergei's son was raised, baptized in 1897 in the church of the Life Guards Regiment of the Hussar Regiment in Tsarskoe Selo. Spoutam Plautin owned a house on Moscow street, 55. Nikolai Sergeevich from the family of hereditary soldiers, his father, Sergei Nikolaevich Plautin, is a retired Lieutenant-General. From his early childhood, Nikolai Plautin was destined to plunge into the military environment: he was brought up in the Nikolayev Cadet Corps, he received his education at the Nikolayev Cavalry School, after which he graduated from the Life Guards Regiment of his Majesty's Hussar in Tsarskoye Selo. Nikolai Sergeevich was not a parquet officer, during the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) he was seconded to the headquarters of the commander-in-chief of the land and naval forces of Russia acting against Japan. For showing courage and personal heroism, he was awarded a gold weapon. For participation in the Russo-Japanese War Colonel Plautin's uniform was adorned with the Order of St. Vladimir of the 4th degree with swords and a bow and St. Stanislaus of the 2nd degree with swords. How was the library managed and financed? The organizing center at the head of all affairs of the Tsarskoye Selo Public Library was an elected Society. It consisted of the honorary trustee M.M. Plautina, honorary and active members. For the convenience of the readers, the library was open for a whole year on weekdays from 3 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon. Whether it was convenient for such a schedule to readers, now it is impossible to determine. But if it existed for 15 years, then it suited local bookworms. A considerable book collection required the corresponding premises, which was found in the city: the Tsarskoye Selo Public Library "sheltered" the Tsarskoye Selo primary school. Any public charitable undertaking had no long-term prospects without a reliable financial basis. Therefore, the founder of the library took care of the library's capital in advance. In 1901 he was eight thousand rubles. The library was kept at the expense of membership fees, donations, funds with concerts and performances arranged by the Society and subscription fees depending on the category. By the 1st category, no more than 3 books and 1 magazine were issued simultaneously, in the second category - no more than 2 books. The fee for the use of books and magazines was charged to readers of the 1st category in the amount of six rubles a year, four rubles a half a year or a ruble a month, and from readers of the second level - four rubles a year, two rubles 50 kopecks in six months or 60 kopecks a month. The annual membership fees and other income of the library were distributed in accordance with the charter as follows: 90% went to the needs of the library, the remaining 10% were deducted into fixed assets. The fee charged to the readers was distributed as follows: 40% was spent on the purchase of new books, bindings and other expenses related to the content of the library; The other 40% were placed at the disposal of the pedagogical council of the Tsarskoye Selo primary school, which provided the library with a room. Under the contract with the owners of the premises, the library paid for the rent of the occupied premises, in the case of finding a library of their own premises, the said 40% were sent to the library's fixed assets. 15% of the subscription fee was transferred to the disposal of the head of the library; The remaining 5% were sent to the main capital of the library. Who was entrusted to the library In 1915, Maria M. Plautina decided to transfer the public library she founded to the local zemstvos, which would have taken over the financing of the library, making the use of books for readers free. Tsarskoselskoe zemstvo, having studied the offer of the founder of the library, made the following conclusions. "Taking into account the availability of the rich book stock of the Public Library and the absence of any other public library in Tsarskoe Selo ... the Board together with the school commission considers the library's acceptance of the Zemstvo office highly desirable, since the Zemstvo as an institution with a permanent staff of employees on issues of public education, and, in particular, on library technology, could strengthen the library's efficiency and ensure for the future the worthy existence of the latter. " The founder of the library is M.M. Plautina, together with the government and the school commission, worked out the conditions for transferring the library to the zemstvo. A positive decision put an end to this issue. Very soon the decision was implemented in practice, and a letter of thanks from the leadership of the Tsarskoye Selo Zemstvo was sent to Maria Mikhailovna. It stated that "on the issue of taking over the zemstvo established by the Tsarskoye Selo Public Library, the Extraordinary Zemstvo Assembly on July 10, 1915 decided: 1) To express MM Plautina's deep gratitude for the transfer of the Tsarskoye Selo Public Library established by her to the jurisdiction of the Zemstvo; 2) Take over the Zemstvo Tsarskoye Selo Public Library ... ". The new owners of the library entrusted the management of the library to the Council.

Being in Canada, it was not easy. After long searches, in which I met good people, I still they sent a book from Moscow.

Children of Sergei Shcherbatov older me: Boris - at thirteen, already graduated from the Lyceum, Dmitry - ten (inaccuracy! -for seven years, remark my, E.L). Who would have guessed then, that the boys Shcherbatov did not it take long to live? Dmitry together with others relatives were shot by security officers at the very beginning of 1921 under Smolensk. Boris in 1918 invited as an interpreter for work with the British in the North the army of General Miller. English intervention in the region of Arkhangelsk ended before the defeat of this army red. English, little interested in helping Russia, in fact betrayed white comrades-in-arms: fled in 1920, having had time to take out huge reserves of forest. Boris remained with colleagues and fell into the number of several hundred young officers and cadets, which Chekist Mikhail Tsiderbaum-Kedrov, a mentally ill person, recently released from a madhouse, ordered to put on a barge and blew it up in the White Sea. All, of course, perished. At a meeting with Kerensky, among I asked him this one too: "What is the purpose of the decree The Provisional Government released criminals and Are you crazy? ". Alexander Fedorovich, as usual, covered himself with philosophical a discussion of freedom for all. The news of Boris's death we received already in Yalta.

954	"Whether driving to Port Eliot or coming by train it is not until you get within 100 yards of the House and Park that you have any idea that such a beautiful place exists. The undulations of the country side with the twists and turns of the estuary make this place invisible from any public highway or foot path. The site has been occupied for more than 1000 years. The first 500 plus years by God and half the millennium by the Eliots!" Peregrine St Germans • Eliot. – On January 2nd, at Willingdon Hospital, Lahore, India, to Helen, wife of Captain Nicholas Eliot, the D.C.L.I., of Port Eliot, St. Germans, Cornwall, a son. • https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2016/07/17/the-earl-of-st-germans--obituary/ The 10th Earl of St Germans, who has died aged 75, enjoyed all the attributes that the popular press expects of the aristocracy - a distinguished lineage, burdensome inheritance, family tragedy and personal eccentricity that flirted with Byronic dissolution. A central figure in the dalliance with the counter-culture by members of the peerage that began in the 1960s, Lord St Germans personified a certain brand of rakish hippiedom thereafter. Yet he did not allow his fondness for relaxed social norms to compromise a near-feudal grip on his family estate in south-east Cornwall, whose preservation he helped to assure. His "Elephant Fayre", a festival that took place for a number of years on the Port Eliot estate, attracted some 10,000 revellers, travellers and devotees of the New Age, initially free of charge. The festival took its name from the beast that is the Eliot family's crest, and until the Fayre's demise in the late 1980s one of its prime attractions was a giant wooden elephant. Its howdah could be reached by a ladder concealed within the elephant's hollow core. In 2003 Elephant Fayre was updated and succeeded by the Port Eliot Lit Fest, an eclectic cultural fiesta with a flavour of Boden-wearing Bohemianism that became a great success, chiefly as a result of the energy and public relations skills of his third wife Cathy Wilson. It combines music and book festival activities with catering by fashionable restaurateurs, cocktail-making classes and wellbeing-focused pursuits such as stargazing, Tibetan chanting and foraging rambles. A luxury yurt can be rented for £1,300. Peregrine Nicholas Eliot was born on January 2 1941, the only son of the 9th Earl of St Germans, an engaging eccentric known for his devotion to the turf and the nature of his early livelihood as the "Bookie Peer". He listed his recreations in Who's Who as "huntin' the slipper, shootin' a line, fishin' for compliments"; his son, Perry, streamlined his fun to "mucking about". The Eliots established themselves in Cornwall in the mid-16th century with the purchase of the former Augustinian Priory of St Germans and built their seat at Port Eliot, bordering the Tamar estuary. The house has a park landscaped by Repton, a round room and stables by Soane and a kitchen some 350ft from the dining room; the kitchen also possesses a steam-driven cherry-stoner. Edward Eliot, MP for Cornwall, was created Baron Eliot in 1784, with the earldom being conferred on his son in 1815. His six successors in the 20th century enjoyed turbulent fortunes. The heir of the 5th Earl committed suicide in the house in 1909 during a village cricket match; his body was found when he missed his turn to bowl. The 6th Earl died following a point to point fall, the 7th was incarcerated in a lunatic asylum, while the 8th, Peregrine Eliot's grandfather, was a courtier described as "having all the stiffness of a poker, with none of its occasional warmth". Young Perry had a troubled childhood. His parents divorced when he was six, and his mother died when he was 10. His father thereafter spent much of his time in Tangiers, and Perry and his sister were largely brought up by their grandparents and a strict Victorian nanny. He was educated at Eton, where, he later recalled, "I failed quite spectacularly, even with the assistance of the birch, to take advantage of some of the best teachers in the land"; he came bottom of the school's academic table. His father made over the 6,000-acre Port Eliot estate to Perry in 1958, and on succeeding as 9th Earl in 1960 changed his telegraphic address in Tangiers to "Earls Court". Peregrine, now Lord Eliot, was hit particularly hard when his grandmother, to whom he was close, killed herself shortly afterwards. The young Lord Eliot gave himself fully to the spirit of the 1960s. He travelled, driving to India in a Volkswagen Beetle and to Tangiers on a vintage motorcycle (named Veronique) which he customised with sand filters and an ivory gear stick; he afterwards became vice-President of the Harley-Davidson Riders' Club of Great Britain. He was accompanied on an expedition to the Atlas mountains in search of the domestically extinct Cornish chough by the explorer Robin Hanbury-Tenison. On another occasion, on a whim, he walked from Port Eliot to London. In the late 1960s, Lord Eliot and two friends secured the franchise to market all the Beatles' merchandise, but in the end he did not make any money out of it. However, his interest in rock music - and the alternative lifestyle that accompanied it - persisted; he was a regular attender at the Glastonbury pop music festival and a great friend of Michael Eavis. "It is futile to recall anything about the festival," he reflected, "especially if the whole thing's done on acid." He found it equally futile to discuss the pleasures of hallucinogens with non-initiates, comparing it to explaining the rules of tennis to a crustacean. Perry Eliot passed his enthusiasm for music on to his second son, Louis, the lead singer with the pop band Rialto. Lord Eliot was interested in all forms of art. For a time he ran the Elephant Press from the gatehouse at Port Eliot, and gave board for almost a decade to his friend the poet Heathcote Williams. He also commissioned a vast mural (documenting his life) for Sir John Soane's great round room at Port Eliot. The artist, Robert Lenkiewicz, had hitherto been best known for making use in an earlier work of the mummified corpse of a down-and-out he had befriended in Plymouth. Another of Lord Eliot's additions was the construction of a maze more than usually influenced by the legend of Theseus; it is said to have the head of a bull buried at its centre. This was the latest in a series of peculiar additions to the landscape of Port Eliot. The 8th Earl had a sundial bearing the legend "No man knoweth the hour" built for the walled garden, but put it on the north side, where the sun never shines. Peregrine Eliot succeeded to the earldom on his father's death in 1988. Thereafter, when his name appeared in the press, it was accompanied increasingly by farce and tragedy. In 1964 he had married the siren beauty Jacquetta Lampson, daughter of the 1st Lord Killearn, who as Sir Miles Lampson had been Ambassador to Egypt during the Second World War. Jacquetta later attracted notoriety by posing for nude studies by her friend, the artist Lucian Freud. She and Perry Eliot had three sons, but then separated; their protracted divorce was not concluded until 1989. Three years later, the Earl married his girlfriend Elizabeth Williams, but those close to him did not take to her. The staff at Port Eliot had T-shirts printed with the legend "It was better with Jacquetta", while the Earl's sister, Frances, Countess of Shelburne, told the prospective Countess of St Germans that she was not good enough to marry into the family. That comment came out in court when Elizabeth Williams was arrested for driving the wrong way down a one-way street; she said that she had done so after having a drink to get over the Countess's remark. She and the Earl separated soon after their marriage and were divorced in 1996. Shortly before, Lord St Germans sold to the Getty Museum for £5 million one of the last Rembrandts left in private hands, Daniel and Cyrus before the Idol of Bel. His companion for some years was the shoe designer Emma Hope. Since being forced as a child to attend Pony Club he had had a strong dislike of horses, but relaxed his ban on them on the estate to allow her to stable her hunter, Flash, at Port Eliot. Latterly he hosted lawn meets for the East Cornwall Hunt and established a now successful one-day equestrian event. He was also strong-willed and provocative, and in 1998 an industrial tribunal found that he was wrong to have had his housekeeper sacked when she took time off after having hurt herself cleaning his family silver. He had an intense temperament given to brooding, a condition not alleviated by the emphysema which he endured for much of the 1990s; in 1997 Emma Hope persuaded him to have a lung transplant. His newly transformed life, he wrote in The Daily Telegraph, amounted to "a miracle". An accomplished prestidigitator who could weave a coin across his fingers, Lord St Germans had first suffered from respiratory problems when touring America as a magician. Sharing a hospital room with an Indian chief, he had been kept awake by chanting squaws. He had chosen the site of his grave some years ago, a meadow that afforded his favourite view of the estate. In 2005 Lord St Germans married Catherine Wilson, formerly style editor of the Daily Telegraph Magazine. She survives him with two of the sons from his first marriage. His eldest son, Jago, a former surfing champion of Spain, died in 2006; Jago's young son Albert (Albie) succeeds to the earldom. • http://porteliotfestival.com/peregrine-st-germans/ Everybody at Port Eliot is sad beyond measure at having to confirm that Peregrine, Lord St Germans, passed away on the afternoon of Friday 15 July. Peregrine died after a short illness following surgery for cancer. Peregrine loved Port Eliot, the festival and the Elephant Fayre that preceded it, and made clear that he wanted this year's festival to go ahead with instructions that it should be the best ever. So, we are more determined than ever that that is what it will be.

(Family and friends welcome). • http://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/sombre-funeral-for-a-colourful-aristocrat/story-29553518-detail/story.html Sombre funeral for colourful Earl of St Germans By WMNKRossiter | Posted: July 26, 2016 The Bohemian Perry Eliot might have been surprised to see so much black. His was a life was lived in full colour. The 10th Earl of St Germans was buried yesterday on his beloved Port Eliot estate after an emotional funeral service at St Germans Priory Church. Hundreds of mourners came from the village in South East Cornwall and from around the world to celebrate his life. Many will stay on for the Port Eliot literary festival, which begins tomorrow in the grounds of his estate. Thursday Lord Eliot's original "Elephant Fayre" festival attracted thousands of revellers, and New Age travellers in the 1980s. In 2003 it was reborn as the Port Eliot Festival, a cultural fiesta that became a great success, chiefly as a result of the skills of his widow Catherine. Peregrine Nicholas - Perry to his friends - Eliot leaves a widow, his third wife Catherine, whom he wed in 2005, and sons Louis and Francis. His eldest son and heir Jago died in 2006 and the estate will pass to his 11-year-old grandson Albert, who paid a brave and moving tribute in the funeral service. Albert, who becomes the 11th Earl of St Germans, recounted holidays spent at Port Eliot and the wonderful stories told by his grandfather. "We love our Grandad," he said. The Countess of St Germans read the poem "The Love that I have", by Leo Marks. Lord Eliot suffered from ill health, and needed a kidney transplant a few years ago. His son Louis thanked the man who donated the kidney, Jo Lanyon, for the extra years of life. Lord Eliot's son Francis said: "No matter how stressful his life was, he knew that the peace of Port Eliot was his birthright. "There were very few rules in Dad's court - shut the doors, show up to meals in shoes, put records back in their sleeves and have as much fun as possible." His father would send him upstairs to get ready for bed while he "sat in a chair and smoked a joint to the music of the Rolling Stones". The service was conducted by the Revd Michael Goodland, and the Duke of Cornwall was represented by the Marquis of Lansdowne, who read from Ecclesiastes Chapter 2, Verses 1-8 and 22, "To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the sun...." Sir Richard Carew Pole reflected on "the life of a very exceptional man". He said their families had been neighbours for centuries. "He didn't do stress," he said. "One of his listed recreations was 'sitting still'." He described how, when Peregrine took over Port Eliot from his grandfather at the age of 21, "suddenly the house was full of young people". The East Cornwall Bach Choir sang A Whiter Shade of Pale, Air on a G String, and The Cloud-Capp'd Tow'rs and the bellringer was Shaun Turner.	Eliot, 10th Earl St. Germans, Peregrine Nicholas (I00304)

964	Arrested (with her mother, brother, sisters and aunt) at her home in Mitino on 14 May 1921. Shot the following morning on charges of belonging to a "criminal counter-revolutionary organization." --- Memories of Irina by her cousin, Prince Alexei Scherbatov: These were written in his book (translated "The Right to the Past", pages 193-5) and have been published online in a number of articles. This is an online translation of the Russian and is quite literal. As with all memoirs dealing with the Russian Revolution, Prince Alexei knew only what he heard about this event. Consequently, some of these facts are not correct or disagree with other writings --- but in all memories and tellings there is a grain of truth! Also, he knew them personally and remembered personal character traits which are invaluable. This particular translation was taken from: http://magazines.russ.ru/nj/2003/233/sherbat.html "In Smolensk, my family members were shot: my cousin Irina was 17 years old, my cousin Dmitry was 14 years old, my uncle Sergey Borisovich Shcherbatov with his wife Elizaveta (nee Plautina) and an aunt, Princess Khovanskaya. Her line after this "purge" ceased. I wrote down all the coordinates, but I did not immediately tell anyone. I arrived the next day alone, opened the first box, there were about 20 tons of documents. I did not get the Shcherbatov case, but it was supposed to be there. I doubt that I could find him alone. But here, one might say, was lucky: Alexander von Engelhardt helped me. From him I learned the history of the archive and details of the shooting of my family. .. . The Cheka began to operate from the end of 1917. The former gendarmes and policemen, nobles, merchants and priests, cadets, schoolboys, students were exterminated. [The Cheka] shot not only adults but also children. "The Shcherbatov case" was found in documents for 1921: arrest, interrogation, sentence to be shot. Uncle's wife, who was very fond of Russia, was a half-English woman, and the reason for the arrest with the wording "English spies" was the family's affection for the English language. Something I was enchanted by Engelhardt, who himself interrogated my relatives: "Irina's cousin, she seemed to be afraid of nothing. She said: "I hate you. You are traitors to my homeland. " She was shot the next morning. . . . And I remember Irina. Last time we met in Petersburg, she was then 15-16 years old, I was 6 or 7. Very beautiful and affectionate, always took me in her arms and kissed my head. I had such a special feeling for her. Uncle Sergey, a well-known artist, loved his estate near Smolensk, not far from the Goat Hills, and did not want to leave it. Alexander Engelhardt gave them out as "British intelligence officers". In the Goat Hills, with the shooting of my relatives, the GPU cemetery began, where five thousand Polish officers were destroyed many years later." --------------------------------------------------------	Stcherbatov, Irina Sergeyevna (I00893)

Misha was interested in birds since childhood. From a young age, he began to collect a collection of bird eggs. A huge influence on the boy had his two grandfathers, passionately carried away by natural science. As a child, Misha and his brothers spent the winter in Tsarskoe Selo, and the summer in Tesseli in the Crimea. His mothers also belonged to the estates Sadovka and Kamenka in the Novokhopersky district of the Voronezh province. Perhaps Misha was there. In 1913, Mikhail entered the St. Petersburg Institute of Engineers of Communications of Emperor Alexander I. The following year the Great War began, which grew into the Civil War. He was not called to the front after the beginning of the war, because as a student he received a reprieve from the draft. When the Ornithological Herald published his proposal for the exchange of eggs in 1915, Mikhail Nikolayevich was only 20 years old. The noble lineage of the Plautins and the immediate service in the Tsar's entourage left no choice. The question "for whom to fight in the Civil" did not stand. The widow Maria Mikhailovna, along with her sons, left the Motherland through Odessa in 1920. As is now known, this was one of the heaviest and poorly organized and prepared evacuations of the White armies. In the end, only one in three of the total number of applicants was able to be evacuated. Mikhail Nikolaevich Plautin was mortally wounded in 1920 when Odessa left, and remained forever in his native land. He was only 25 years old! The rest of the family could successfully emigrate. The fate of the ornithological collection of Mikhail Nikolayevich Plautin remains unknown. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------	Plautin, Mikhail Nikolaevich (I00712)

It depicted a woman of Balzac's age with a melancholic expression on her face and some barely noticeable inner breakdown. The correct oval of the face, high forehead, large thoughtful eyes betrayed an impressionable, and clearly suffering nature. Later we managed to find out the reason for this sadness. The woman was terminally ill with consumption and died in 1845, shortly after the removal of her portrait, which evokes in the memory of the viewer Pushkin's poem Autumn, where the genius poet compares his favorite season with a terminally ill woman. “... I like her, As, probably, you like a consumptive maiden Sometimes you like. Condemned to death, The poor thing bends without a murmur, without anger. The smile on the lips of the faded is visible; She does not hear the mouth of the grave abyss; The crimson color still plays on the face. She is still alive today, not tomorrow 366. This doom is captured on the canvas. Her everyday, almost homely attire also became explainable: apparently, to pose, they lifted her sick, right out of bed. She is wearing a cap, with satin ribbons streaming down her chest; a modest dark dress is trimmed at the collar and sleeves with almost transparent lace. Under the portrait there is an inscription: “Yulia Aleksandrovna Denisyeva is the niece of the writer and educator N. I. Novikov. H. m. 63x49 "367. We know this outstanding educator of the 18th century from numerous book publications. Statistics speaks about his merits. Every third book in Russia at that time was published in the printing house of N.I. Novikov. Apparently, the genes of the clan that put forward such a person from a number of their representatives left a reflection of spirituality on his niece! Undoubtedly, she also contained the beginnings of talent, but the woman's illness and disenfranchised position at that time did not allow them to develop properly, leaving her the fate of a wife, mistress of the house and loving mother. Yulia Alexandrovna's father, Alexander Ivanovich Novikov, was the brother of the educator, owned the villages of Zherkovo and Pochatkovo near the town of Lyubim. He received them from his father Ivan Vasilyevich Novikov and owned them until the end of his life, and after his death, the villages went to the brothers, including the enlightener. KMZ SKM OF 73.

Elena Saprygina "Servants of Time" In 1768, the brothers sold their estates to their nephew A.I. Novikov, leaving behind the village of Avdotino near Moscow368. There, under Lyubim, Yulia Novikova's childhood and adolescence, in all likelihood, passed until marriage, which, judging by the date of birth of the firstborn, took place in 1820. Her chosen one was Peter Alekseevich Denisiev (? - until 1845), descended from the Chukhloma noblemen of the Denisievs. He was a naval officer, from 1816 a retired lieutenant commander. Petr Alekseevich Denisiev, a graduate of the Naval Cadet Corps (1795-1804), was in active sea service for 12 years (1804-1816) 369. Later he was elected by elections to the noble leaders of the Soligalich district. Apparently, in connection with the place of residence in this district town, the presence of a portrait of his wife in the local Soligalich Museum is explained. The estates of Yulia Alexandrovna herself were concentrated in the Chukhloma district. In 1834 she owned the village of Medvedevo and the village of Bukharino there,inherited by her spiritual will from the collegiate assessor Elizaveta Mikhailovna Shipova.

1000	Never married. --- https://kostromka.ru/baykova/ko.php [Translated Online from Russia] Snaya Village - Assumption Temple [Church of the Assumption of Our Lady, Hay, Dhukhlomsky District, Kostroma Oblast] Continuing my story about the once-acting and thriving temples of Chukhlomsky County, I want to tell readers about the Assumption Temple of the village of Snaya. Fast forward to the 19th century and see that in the village the temple is stone, with a stone bell tower, built in 1773 by the second-major of the estate Kolotilov Yuri Lermontov and the estate of Losnikovo by the guarantor Alexei Matveevich Shipov. There are three limits in the temple: in honor of the Assumption of the Mother of God, the apostles Peter and Paul and the Reverend Sergius radonezki. In 1829, the limits were rebuilt by the college assessor Elizaveta Mikhailovna Shipova (nee Lermontova) - the owner of the estate Medvedevo. Male parishioners - 655, female - 824. In the parish of 33 villages on the space of nine miles. At the temple, under the altar of the left limit, one of the charity workers of the temple - Anastasia Fedorovna Lermontova - mother of E. M. Shipova, the owner of the ostor Ostrognikovo manor, is buried in the crypt. In the temple is, recognized as a miraculous, icon of the Tikhvin mother of God. There is a tradition that this icon was found by an old shepherd on a hay pit (hence, in all probability, the name of the village - Sennaya) "in the wasteland of Medvedeva near the treasure trove on the same field from the wooden church of the Nativity on the east side of the stream." Of course, there are no traces of this ancient temple. It is clear from the church chronicle that in ancient times the parish consisted of seven people, and the names of philanthropists and contributors are listed there. This lieutenant Pavel Lermontov, Maria Yuryevna Lermontova, Fedor Petrovitch Denisyev, Elizaveta Petrovna Denisyeva, Valentin Novikov, and his wife, Anastasia Fedorovna, built a valuable silver rhyme on the icon of the Fedorovsky Mother of God. In the main limit draws attention to the local image of the Savior, a very good ancient letter, in a silver rhyme, made in 1815, weighing 25 pounds, built by the landowner of the village Kolotilovo Pelageya Vasilyevna Lermontova. This image, according to the local old-timer, was given from the Old Believer Chapel of Khudin village Aleshkino in ransom, so that, in view of the persecution of the schismatics, V. A. Novikov, one of the prominent representatives of the county and the leader of the nobility, helped to leave the chapel of Khudiny. According to legend, the Savior was depicted on the icon with a double-fingered, old-fashioned gesture of blessing hand, later corrected to a three-fingered one. When the passions subsided, the Old Believers wanted to buy the icon and offered for it 5000 rubles, but the icon remained in the temple. Of the ancient objects in the altar, draws the attention of the Gospel, the seal of 1759, in a metal, well gilded salary, with finifty stamps, the gift of Novikov. The Gospel, 1851, with the inscription "The Gift of Valentin Novikov, March 14, 1852." The Gospel, the seal of 1677, under Tsar Fyodor Alekseevich. The ancient cypress cross of 1779 and another cross of ancient cypress, with silver on the sides and on the handle. There are old bells on the bell tower. Near the temple - a cemetery, which shows the graves of many nearby landowners. The most preserved ancestral cemetery of the landlords of Novikov, surrounded by a fallen wooden fence. Graves with cast-iron slabs on stone tombstones, the signatures are as follows: "God rest the body of the slave Of Our Elizabeth - was presented in 1830 on April 30 days" (E. M. Shipova); "Name, Lord, in the kingdom of your soul the slave of Your Anastasia - was betrayed in 1848 July 19 days" (daughter of Shipova A. F. Novikov); "God bless in the kingdom of your soul a slave of your godache Valentin, who died on April 1870 25 days" (V. A. Novikov's son-in-law E. M. Shipova). Nearby the tomb of Elizaveta Petrovna Denisyeva - born 1820 - died on November 16, 1889.	Denisiev, Elizaveta Petrovna (I02085)
