"Pearly Brown, Oldest son of
the preceding, was born in Mas
sachusetts, July "a, 179S, and
was four years old when
brought to this country. In
the year 1919 he married Eliza
Hubert (whO is still living),
and settled in Ames township,
on a new farm, given him by
his father. A hard working
and energetic man, he soon
improved his circumstances,
and laid the foundation for a
competence. To afford some
idea of the prices that pre-
vailed when he was a young
man, Mir. Brown states that he
worked a week for Judge Cur.
rier, in Athens, IN 1923, at 314
cents a day, and at SATURDAY

hired to carry the mail, with

rietta and Chillicothe, the dis
tance being about one hundred
miles, and to make three trips
a week, or two hundred miles
a week for each rider; for
which service he received So
"a month. He cultivated his
farm in Ames till 1929 or 1880,
when he removed to Near
.thurstown (then in Athens
county,, and engaged for many
years in selling goods and
dealing in live stock. In 1889
he and his partners drove
across the mountains to the
eastern markets 2,l00 cattle,
1900 hogs, 1900 sheep and

Mllton's Mother.

ai aLt ..L - r.
Mr.. Joseph L. Chester, Ga brother
of Nj. Leonard S. Chester, of this
city, who has resided for several years
past in England, and whose tastes in
literary and biographical matters of an
antiquarian character have been ex-
ercised in the publication OF several
works of that nature, eyincing much
ability and research, communicates to
the London Atheneum the following
notes in regard to Millions mother:
"The parentage of the mother Of
the poet Milton has been, I believe,
until the present time, a matter of
great uncertainty. Professor Mason,
in 1859, was unable to determine from
the conflicting testimony whether she
was originally a Jefferys, a CASTOR, or
a Bradshaw ; or whether, one of these
being her maiden name, she had, be-
fore becoming the wife of the poets
father, borne by prior marriage onor
both of the others. His conclusion
was, however, that her maiden name
was Bradshaw, and the conflicting tes-
timony was reconciled by supposing
that she might have married a JEFF.
.erye or a CASTOR, or both, before be-
coming the wife of the scrivener of AL
.Hallows, Brea1 street.
"A discovery recently made by me,
while searching among the old mar
rage allegations in the Bishop Of Lon
don's registry, enables me, I think, to
set this question at rest. The record,
stripped of its mere verbiage, is brief
ly as follows:
"On the 28th of August, 1902, Will
liam Truelove Of Hatfield everill, in
the county of Essex, gentleman, aged
about forty years, and who had been
a widower about seven years, alleged
that he intended to marry Margaret
Jeffraye of Newton Hall, in Great
Dummow, in the country of Essex, a
maiden, aged about twenty years, the
daughter of Paul Jeffraye, of the par
ish of st. Swithiu's London, merchant
TAYLOR, deceased, with the consent of
her mother, Ellen Jeffraye, widow,
whose consent was attested by John
Milton, of the parish of All Halloys,
Bread street, London, who married
the sister of the said Margaret.
SIT was barely possible that before
marrying the poets father she may
have already been a wife, though the
age of her sister Margaret initiates
the suggestion that she had
been twice married before 1900 1.-THE
probable date of her marriage to John
Milton, the elder); but, if necessary
still to pay any regard to the greatly
confused traditions concerning this
it seems more reasonable to sup
pose that it was her mother, and not
herself, who was originally a CASTOR
,r a Bradshaw, and had married a
before becoming the wife of
Paul Jeffraye." sH
