[2nd s. NO 16., APRIL 19. '56.
Cotton Family (2 nd S. i. 298.) The first wife
of Sir Thomas Cotton was " Margaret, daughter
of Lord William Howard (third son of Thomas,
Duke of Norfolk ; he was K. G-., and ancestor of
the Earls of Carlisle), married June 17, 1617,
died March 5, 1625."
His second wife was " Alice, daughter and heir of John Constable of Dromonby, in Yorkshire. She was relict of Edward Anderson of Stretton, Bedfordshire, Esq. (who died April 4, 1638). Quarterly gules and vaire, over all a bend or, thereon an annulet sable for difference."
By his first wife he had "Sir John Cotton, Bart, (of Stretton in right of his wife), member for the town of Huntingdon 13 C. II., and for the county 1 J. II. ; died Sept. 12, 1702, aged eighty- one."
This Sir John married two wives, " Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Thomas Honeywood of Marks- hall in Essex, Knt. ; " and " Dorothy, daughter and heir of Edmund Anderson of Stretton, Esq. (by Alice his wife). Argent, a chevron between three crosses patonce sable."
The other children of Sir Thomas by his first wife were, ^ Lucy, born 1618 (married Sir Philip Wodehouse of Kimberley, Norfolk, Bart.), and Frances, born 1619, and died unmarried, 1636."

[Some errors, not easily to be rectified by errata, having occurred in printing the foregoing last week, we have thought it best to reprint a corrected extract from the SIS. pedigree.]
Hay and Delawaye (2 nd S. i. 293, 294.) I am sorry my handwriting should be so difficult to >nake out as to induce your printer to make two great mistakes in my Queries inserted in this week's " N. & Q.," which will make them both useless unless corrected. In the 1st page 293, for " Margaret Kery " read " Margaret Hay," and for ' ; Dr. John Kery " read " Dr. John Hay ; " again in the next, page, for " Dallawage " read " Dalla- w;iye," a "g" being inserted instead of a " y." Perhaps in inserting these corrections you will be <,'ood enough to add the following : Was John D.illaway, M.A. of Trinity College, Oxford, and F.S.A., who published in 1793 Inquiries into the Origin and Progress of the Science of Heraldry
in England, related to this family. Their arms
were " Arg. two lions in chief counter-passant,
and one in base passant, all guardant gu. armed
and langued, az. Crest. A demi lion, rampant,
holding in his paw a staff, erect, ppr. on a banner
appendant thereto, and flotant to the sinister, arg.
a saltier, of the first." ALFRED T. LEE.
Vicarage, Tetbury, April 12, 1856.
"Do you go well to the ground" (2 nd S. i. 86.) This expression from Middleton's play, The Family of Love, Act v. Sc. 3., is explained by your correspondent to mean (in Herefordshire) " to cover the feet." Such may be the meaning of the phrase in Herefordshire, but it bears ano- ther signification in the county of Durham, where " to get to the ground " in medical phraseology means " to have the bowels opened." That this is the meaning of the passage in. Middleton is ob- vious from the context. The slight difference between the verbs go and get is of no importance.
