What are jumballs?

Can any of your readers tell me where this _Livre des Acconts pour
Chevalier Jean Francklyn en son_ [sic] _Maison au Wilsden_ now is? When the
extracts were published in the _Archaeologia_, it was said to be in the
possession of the late Sir John Chardin Musgrave, Bart. I have applied to
the present Sir George Musgrave, and also to George Musgrave, Esq., of
Gordon Square, and Bedfordshire, who is descended from Sir Christopher
Musgrave, who married to his second wife a daughter of Sir George
Francklyn; but neither can give me any tidings of this MS.

_Lord Rosehill's Marriage._--An American paper of August 22, 1768, has the
following:

"Last week was married in Maryland, the Right Honorable Lord Rosehill
to Miss Margaret Cheer, a lady much admired for her theatrical
performances."

Who was Lord Rosehill?

W. D. R.

Philadelphia.

_Colonel Butler._--Can you give me any information respecting Colonel
Butler, who fought during the civil wars, I fear, under the banner of the
usurper? He belonged to a Lincolnshire family, and either his daughter or
some relative married a person of the name of Hairby or Harby.

AGARES.

_Willesdon, co. Middlesex._--Information is solicited respecting the
families of Willesdon, Roberts, Francklyn, Barne, Poulett, Atye, Troyford,
and Nicolls of this place, as well as of other families known to have
belonged to this parish.

Any communications as to the church, its original construction, or its
reconstruction about the end of the fourteenth, or beginning of the
fifteenth, century, or illustrative of the general history of the parish in
early or recent times, or biographical notices of its vicars, will be
gladly received; and as such information may not be generally interesting
to your readers, I would request contributors to address any communications
they may be pleased to favour me with, to J. K., care of Mr. Fenton,
Kensall Green, Harrow Road, Middlesex.

Minor Queries with Answers.

_Ashes of "Lignites."_--A paragraph has been making the circuit of the
public papers, recommending the use of ashes of _lignites_, to preserve
esculent roots. It may have originated with some dealer in _lignites_; but
