Rev. Samud W/ziting. 37
St. John of Cayshoe, a Bedfordshire gentle-
man. Farmer, in his'Register,' calls her the
daughter of the RA Hon. Oliver St. John, which
is correct, as he was a member of parliament,
and, by the by, was, late in life, knighted. This
Mr. St. John of Cayshoe was the son of Rt.
Hon. Thomas, a younger son of the first Lord
St. John of Bletshoe."
The following is from vol. xiv., pp. 6I and 62,
of The New-England Historical and Genealogi-
cal Register :--
" A letter, dated June 28, i859, has been re-
ceived from Clifford Stanly Sims, Esq., of "
Philadelphia, a member of the Historical Soci-
ety of Pennsylvania, containing an interesting
genealogy not heretofore published in ' The
Register,' although well known to those who
are versed in the history of the old English
families. We take pleasure in laying it before
our readers, for more convenient reference.
" The descent embraces twenty generations
in England, and eight generations in America,
making twenty-eight generations since the
Norman Conquest."
