_Iovanni Volpe._--Can any of your readers supply a notice of IOVANNI VOLPE,
mentioned in a MS. nearly cotemporary to have been
"An Italian doctor, famous in Queen Elizabeth's time, who went with
George Earl of Cumberland most of his sea voyages, and was with him at
the taking of Portorico?"
Another MS., apparently of the date of James I., describes him as
"physician to Queen Elizabeth."
He had a daughter, Frances, widow of Richard Evers, Esq. ("of the family of
Evers of Coventry"), who married, 2d November, 1601, Richard Hughes, Esq.,
then a younger son, but eventually representative, of the ancient house of
Gwerclas and Cymmer-yn-Edeirnion, in Merionethshire, and died 29th June,
1636.
