_Sir Thomas de Longueville._--In the year 1753, a Sir Thomas de
Longueville, baronet, was a lieutenant in his Majesty's fleet, and his
commission bore date 3rd June, 1719. I should be glad if any of your
correspondents could inform me if he was a descendant of the De
Longueville, the second _Fides Achates_ of Scotland's "ill-requited chief."
The real Sir Thomas de Longueville reposes in the churchyard of Bourtie, in
the county of Aberdeen. Bourtie is a parish fraught with historic
recollections. On the hill of Barra, within a mile of the parish church,
Bruce at once and for ever put a period to the sway and power of the
Cuming. I should be glad to learn if any of the descendants of the
_Lieutenant_ Longueville still survive, and if he was any descendant of the
favorite "De Longueville" of the olden time.
