MISCELLANEA.
Inscription on gravestone in Hadlow churchyard, communicated to me 31
May, 1876, by J. H. Hodsoll, Esq., of Loose court.
"Here lieth the body of Reuben Hodsoll, of the
parish of Wrotham, who departed this life 30 Deer 1791, aged 80 years;
"Also of Ann his wife, daughter of Robt &
Ann Barr of this parish, who departed this life May 27, 1741, in the
25th. year of her age, leaving one daughter, Ann."
In Wrotham churchyard are inscriptions to "Mary, wife of
Reuben Hodsoll, died 29th Jany 1783, aged 67 years;" and
to "Maxfield Hodsoll, born 11th JanY 1754, died 21st
July 1837."
In Ightham churchyard (Feb. 1878).-A tomb with the Hodsoll coat
of arms upon it, and thus much of the inscription just decipherable:
"Maxfield Hodsoll, aged 49; left issue 3 sons, Maxfield, Edmund,
& Urbane; Mrs Isabell Hodsoll, wife of Maxfield, died 1755, aged
62." Also, on one side this inscription: "Here lies the body
of Edmund, second son of Maxfield Hodsoll;" and, on the other side,
this: "Here also lieth the body of Urbane Hodsoll."
