[A friend, who is extremely well versed in early records, and to
whom we referred this Query, observes, "I have never met with the
word, nor can I find a trace of it anywhere. I suspect that the
querist has misread his MS., and that, in the original, it is
_payned_, for _paned_. In the slovenly writing of that period many
a form of _pa_ might be mistaken for _w_. The upstroke of the _p_
is often driven high. I have seen many a _pa_ like this
instance."]
_Cromwell Family._--Two leaves, paged from 243 to 246, cuttings from an
old magazine, seemingly having dates down to 1772, entitled "Account of
the Male Descendants of Oliver Cromwell. By the Rev. Mr. Hewling Luson,
of Lowestoft, in Suffolk. In a Letter to Dr. Brooke." [Concluded from
our last, page 197.] The next article commencing, "On the Knowledge of
Mankind. From Lord Chesterfield's Letters to his Son," having lately
come into my hands, I shall feel greatly obliged by being informed
through "N. & Q.," or otherwise, where may I meet with the previous part
of such account of the Cromwell family, or the title and date of such
magazine?
