Mrs. Wraxall lived in widowhood until June 11, 1763, when she was married to John Mauusell, an officer of the British army. His name, Mauusell, has be- come the prasnomen of several other surnames, as for 6 example Maunsell B. Field, Mannsell Van Rensselaer, etc. , and is found to have been derived in some of these cases from the husband of Elizabeth Wraxall. We have found mention of two brothers-in-law of Captain Wraxall, one a Capt. Smith, who seems to have been atthe time stationed at Oswego..., and the other Peter De Visure, a merchant of New York city, whose letter to Sir William on the death of "liis dearest and ever beloved brother, Peter Wraxall, " is on tile among the Wm. L. Stone portion of the Johnson manu- scripts, in the State Library. Another interesting letter appears in the Cooper portion of the manuscripts, from the bereaved father of the deceased, dated Bristol, Sept. 15, 1760. Mention is made in this letter, and also in a subsequent letter from Mrs. Elizabeth Wraxall to Sir William, of an unfinished manuscript, written by Peter Wraxall during his last years, entitled " Some general thoughts upon the security, the cultivation and the commerce of the northern colonies of America, " written in answer to some queries proposed to him by Dean Tucker.
