Math. Johnson, Clc: parliamentor.
A very large number of refugees were often naturalized in company in one Act of Parliament. In former editions of this work I printed the lists of naturalizations in the Patent Rolls only, not knowing of any others. But in the Parliamentary Rolls in the House of Lords there are other long lists. With these my learned correspondent Mr Wagner is familiar, and to him I am indebted for the following names. These lists are the most interesting of all to genealogists.
Some of the Naturalizations by Act of Parliament.
