_Ladies styled Baronets._--An ancestor of mine, Sir Anthony Chester, Bart.,

of Chichley Hall, Bucks, in his will, dated Nov. 26, 1635, and proved in

the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Dec. 9, 1635 [128 Sadler], desires "to

be buried in the north part of Chichley Church, in the same vault with Dame

Elizabeth Chester, Baronet, his first wife." Are there any other instances

of ladies of the same rank being styled Baronet about this time? I may

mention that this Lady Chester was daughter to Sir Henry Boteler, of

Hatfield Woodhall, Herts, and sister to John Lord Boteler, of Bramfeld.
