GRAMMER.
The Grammer family is of Huguenot origin, the name having been originally Grammiere. A large for- tune in France was due to the representatives of the family in Virginia, by inheritance; but they being pre- vented from prosecuting the claim by the circuinstances of the Revolution, it lapsed.
John2, the son of Wm.1 and Sarah Grammer, was b. 24 Aug. 1754, at Blackwater. He was the first Post Master and the first Clerk of the Hustings Court of Petersburg, and a pillar of the Church in Bristol parish when it seemed tottering to its fall. He an.

Rev. Erskine Neale, M. A., Emm. Coll., Cambridge, Rector of Exning Church, gives the following addi- tional information regarding William Haxall: "He died at 'Whitehall,' a large, old-fashioned house in Exning," and "was one of the leading men" there. "He filled, for some years, the office of Church War- den. He collected the vicar's tithes. He was again and again Overseer of the Poor." "To me by far the most interesting extract which I make from the records of the Church, is that which proves this good man's interest in Sunday Schools, and his wish to promote them." "In 1786, his son George appears to have suc-

MUNFORD.
The recorded genealogy of this excellent Virginia family commences with Robert1 Munford as the head or founder,* who d. in 1744. He was clerk of the House of Burgesses. His hospitality is highly com- mended by Col. Wm. Byrd, in his "History of the Di- viding Line." He m. Anne, 3d dau. of Richard Bland of "Jordan's," James river, and had issue:
i. Robert2. Educated at Wakefield, Eng- land, with Rich'd Henry Lee, Ro. Boll- ing and Ro. Beverley. He was in the Indian war of 1758, with Col. Willian: Byrd, the 3d of the name and title. + He also served as Col. during the Rev. He was a scholar, and in 1793 pub- lished a volume of Prose and Poetry,
* There is a tradition that the name was originally De Montford, and that the blood was that of the family of the Earl of Leicester- the Virginia representative having been proscribed for political of- fences, and forced to fly the kingdom. To the support of this tra- dition it may be stated, that in one of the grants to Ro. Munford the name is spelled Mountfort. He received numerous grants of land from the period 1695. There is a grant of record to Edward Munford as early as 1680, and a little later, grants appear also to James and Joseph Munford.

iii. William3. Grad. Wm. & Mary College. Studied law with Chancellor George Wythe, and was an inmate of his fam- ily. Member of H. of Del. and Va. Senate from Mecklenburg Co., and of the Executive Council ; later Clerk of the House of Delegates. Translated the Iliad of Homer; editor of the Le- gal Reports which bear his name; pos- sessed happy oratorical powers. His eulogy on Chancellor Wythe is of value as asserting authoritatively that Wythe died in the full belief of Christianity- a fact which has been denied in our time. 12.
