_Richard Baxter's Descendants_.--Can any of your correspondents inform
me of the whereabouts of the descendants of the celebrated Richard
Baxter? He was a Northamptonshire man, but I think his family removed
into some county in the west.
W.H.B.
_Passage in St. Peter_.--Besides the well-known passage in the
_Tempest_, what _Christian_ writers have used any kindred expression to
2 Pet. iii. 10.?

_Juice-cups_.--Is it beneath the dignity of "NOTES AND QUERIES" to admit
an inquiry respecting the philosophy and real effect of placing an
inverted cup in a fruit pie? The question is not about the _object_, but
whether that object is, or can be, effected by the means employed.
N.B.
Derivation of "Yote" or "Yeot."--What is the derivation of the word
"yote" or "yeot," a term used in Glocestershire and Somersetshire, for
"leading in" iron work to stone?
B.
_Pedigree of Greene Family_.--At Vol. i., p. 200., reference is made to
"a fine Pedigree on vellum, of the Greene family, penes T. Wotton, Esq."
Can any person inform me who now possesses the said pedigree, or is
there a copy of it which may be consulted?
One John Greene, of Enfield, was clerk to the New River Company: he died
1705, and was buried at Enfield.
