[Mr. Croker, in a note on this passage, tells us that the author,
Florence Wilson, born at Elgin, died near Lyons, in 1547, and wrote two
or three other works of no note.--ED.]
_Martin Family_ (Vol. ii., p. 392.).--CLERICUS asks for information
touching the family of Martin, "in or near Wivenhoe, Essex." There is a
large house in the village, said to have been the seat of Matthew Martin,
Esq., member for Colchester in the second parliaments of George I. and II.
He died in 1749. He had been a commander in the service of the East India
Company. Only one party of the name now lives in the neighbourhood, but
whether he is of the family or not I cannot say. He is described as "Edward
Martin, Master, Royal Navy."
