Chapter 11

< His nephews and nieces. >

This Edmund had only one son named Francis, and two daughters maried to countreymen (renters) in the neighborhood. This Francis pretty well resembled his uncle Thomas, especially about the eie; and probably had he had good education might have been ingeniose; but he drowned his witt in ale. He was left by his father and uncle Thomas, 80 li. (quaere W. A.) or better per annum, but he was an ill husband. He dyed about two yeares after his father, and left five children.—His eldest son is Thomas, a clothier, now about 23, living at ... (quaere W. A.). The second, <Edmund>, lives at ..., and has some lines of Thomas the philosopher. When he was a child, his genius inclined him to (quaere W. A.) draweing and engraving in copper. He is now about 21.
