' FLEET WOOD GENEALOGICAL PUZZLE.'
(12 S. iii. 224.)
GENERAL CHARLES FLEETWOOD died Oct. 4, 1692.
Blomefield's statement that the Charles who married Frances Smith was the son of the General is controverted by the following pedigree, which shows how impossible it is for a generation to be interpolated. Probably it was a slip of the pen on Blomefield's part, for, as MAJOR RTTDKIN points out, he was presumably in a position to ascertain the real facts :
Sir Miles Fleetwood, Knt., bapt. at St. James's,=f Anne Luke, bapt. 1578.
Clerkenwell. Oct. 1, 1576. Mar. c. 1598. Died March 8, 1640 /41. Admon. to son Sir William, May 10, 1641, P.C.C.

The following evidence is adduced to
refute Blomefield :
AM. in Bunhill Fields.
Charles Fleetwood, Esq., and Dame Mary Hartopp his wife. He departed Oct. 4, 1692, aged 71. She died Dec. 17, 1684 (Stow's ' Survey,' book iv. 57, ed. 1720).*
- One of the subscribers to this edition is
" John Fleetwood, Esq." possibly the writer of the letter printed at 12 S. ii. 281, on ' Contraband Two Hundred Years Ago,' or John Fleetwood of Missenden Abbey, who died in 1745.
Quoted at 4 S. ii. 600. This shows that
he was born in 1618 ; his will was proved
within a month of his decease.
In the ' History of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Northampton,' the following occurs :
" There is still extant a volume of sermons under the title ' Old Jacob's Altar newly repaired, or the Saints' Triangle, by Nathaniel Whiting, M r of Arts and Minister of the Gospel at Ald- winckle, 1659,' with an interesting dedication to the three illustrious brethren ' The Right
