" • Admon. 13 May 1743. ( : >) Among the burials at Upton Pyne, Devon, occurs the following on DJ Dec. 1703, "Mary Budgway, relict of ( — ), Earl of Londonderry." It seems almost impossible that this can relate to the widow of any such Earl, and, probably, from its wording it relates to a Mrs. or Lady liidgeway, widow of a Mm or brother of such Earl. Compare an entry of a burial of one of the same family at Nautwich, Cheshire, on 13 Sep. 1038, "Mr. Ridgway, brother to the Earl of Londonderry." {•) This Sir William Jopson sue. his grandmofAer, Dame Mary Bolles, in the Baronetcy (cr. 1635) on the death of the said Lady, the grantee, 5 May 1002, aged SO.
