_North-west Passage._--In 1612, Captain Thomas Button made a voyage to
discover the north-west passage, and was afterwards knighted by King James.
Can any of your readers refer me to a pedigree, or other particulars, of
Sir Thomas Button's family? They appear to have been seated at Duffryn, in
Glamorganshire, as early as the fourteenth or fifteenth century. Sir
Thomas' daughter Ann married General Rowland Langharne, of St. Bride's,
Pembrokeshire, a noted character in the civil war.
