18. JOHN VERNON, Arm.]

Indeed I meet with many Vernons in this Catalogue of Sheriffs, Henry, John, &c. but cannot find him I seek for, viz. Sir George Vernon of Haddon in this County. I assign my self this reason, that he never executed that Office, because it was beneath a Prince to be a Sheriff; and such his vast revenues and retinue, that in the beginning of Queen Elizabeth, he was called the King of the Peak. This Sir George left two Daughters, Co∣heirs, Elizabeth married to Sir John Manners, Ancestor to the present Earl of Rutland, and Margaret to Sir Thomas Stanley, younger Son of the House of Derby, deriving a vast Inheritance to their Husbands.

How this Sir John, this year Sheriff, stood to him related, is to me unknown: sure I am, some of his surname and alliance still flourish in this and the neighbouring Counties, where they have a fair Estate. Yet will they remember their Motto, Ver non semper floret, so ill it is to trust in the fading Spring of humane felicity.

The history of the worthies of England who for parts and learning have been eminent in the several counties : together with an historical narrative of the native commodities and rarities in each county / endeavoured by Thomas Fuller.
