Elizabeth Brontë ( , "commonly" ; 181525 June 1825) was the second daughter and child of Reverend Patrick Brontë and his wife, Maria.
 She was born in Hartshead, Yorkshire.
Meroplankton is a term used to describe a wide variety of planktonic organisms, which spend a portion of their lives in the benthic region of the ocean.
 These organisms do not remain as plankton permanently, rather, they are planktonic components in transition, which eventually become larger organisms.
 After a period of time in the plankton, meroplankton either graduate to the nekton or adopt a benthic (often sessile) lifestyle on the seafloor.
 Meroplankton consists of larval stages of organisms such as sea urchins, starfish, crustaceans and dinoflagellates and diatoms.
 Meroplankton forms an algal medium that is found between the loosely mixed sediments and water.
 This layer can be re-suspended in the water column by turbulent mixing.
 Success of meroplankton populations depends on many factors, such as adult fecundity, fertilization success, growth and larval stage duration, behaviour, dispersal, and settlement.
 Mortality depends on many factors, such as predation, competition, disease, parasites, and physiological stresses.
 Survival and mortality of meroplankton has a direct effect on adult population numbers of many species.
 Many of the common, well-known animals found on the Great Barrier Reef spend time as free-swimming meroplankton, bearing little or no resemblance to the adult they will become.
 The differences between the appearance of larval and adult stages led to much confusion in the past when larval forms were often believed to be completely different species from the adults.
 Larvae spend varying amounts of time in the plankton, from minutes to over a year.
 However, just how long these tiny animals can be considered truly planktonic is under some debate.
Rev. Michael Montague (17731845) was an Irish Roman Catholic priest and educator, from the parish of Errigal-Kiernan in County Tyrone.
 He was educated for the priesthood first at Clare Castle Seminary, Tandragee, County Armagh, and then at St. Patrick's College, Maynooth, County Kildare, where he was to spend his adult life.
 He was a student at Maynooth from the college's opening in November 1795.
 He was ordained deacon for the Armagh Archdiocese by Archbishop O'Reilly, ordained priest by the president of the college at Maynooth, Dr. Peter Flood, and encouraged to take up a position in the college.
 He served as bursar and vice-president from 1816, and was elevated to president in 1834.
 He resigned the office of president in 1845 due to ill health, and died in October that year.
Patrick Brontë ( , "commonly" ; 17 March 1777 – 7 June 1861) was an Irish priest and author who spent most of his adult life in England.
 He was the father of the writers Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë, and of Branwell Brontë, his only son.
 Patrick outlived his wife, the former Maria Branwell, by forty years by which time all of their children had died as well.
Maria Brontë ( , "commonly" ; 23 April 1814 – 6 May 1825) was the eldest daughter of Patrick Brontë and Maria Brontë, née Maria Branwell.
Brontë was a 2005 play by British playwright Polly Teale about the lives of the Brontë sisters, their brother Branwell and their father Patrick.
 It also featured characters from the sisters' novels such as Cathy and Heathcliff from "Wuthering Heights".
Jesse Root Grant  (January 23, 1794 – June 29, 1873) was a farmer, tanner and successful leather merchant who owned tanneries and leather goods shops in several different states throughout his adult life.
 He is best known as the father of Ulysses S. Grant and the one who introduced Ulysses to military life at West Point.
 Jesse was born in Greensburg, Pennsylvania and was one of seven children.
 He was a self made man who rose from poverty to become a somewhat wealthy merchant.
 At age five, Jesse's family moved to Ohio and settled in the .
 Unable to support all his children Jesse's father arranged for his apprenticeship at farms and tanneries during his youth.
 Jesse married Hannah Simpson and they became the parents of three boys and three girls, with Ulysses being their oldest.
 Raised in a poor family that was forced to split up and having to work at an early age, Jesse persistently encouraged his sons in the ways of education, industry and hard work, his methods sometimes testing his father-son relationship with Ulysses.
 As a young man he worked for and came to know Owen Brown and soon acquired strong abolitionist sympathies.
 Originally a Jacksonian, Jesse eventually broke with the Democrats as he developed anti-slavery leanings, and for a time wrote a number of controversial editorials in support of abolition and about other issues, including Ulysses at Shiloh.
 He became involved in local politics and was elected Mayor in Georgetown and later, Bethel, both in Ohio.
 During the American Civil War Jesse and his two partners became involved in cotton speculation and personally prevailed upon his son Ulysses, now a Commanding General, requesting permits to deal in cotton in Grant's district, causing serious complications.
 Soon after the war Jesse stood next to his son Ulysses while he was sworn in as President, thereafter becoming a frequent visitor to the White House, while living out his final years in Covington, Kentucky.
 Much has been learned about the earlier years of his son Ulysses from letters between the two and other material relating to Jesse's background and business.
Maria Branwell (15 April 1783 – 15 September 1821) was the mother of British writers Emily Brontë, Anne Brontë and Charlotte Brontë, and of their brother, Branwell Brontë, who was a poet and painter.
Edward C. Rochette (born February 17, 1927) has devoted nearly all of his adult life in service to the American Numismatic Association.
 His first exposure to the ANA was as an editor of "The Numismatist" in 1966.
 Later, he would spend most of his 20 years as executive vice president.
 In 1987 he was elected to the ANA Board of Governors, and would serve as its president from 1991 to 1993.
Rodrigues Ottolengui (March 15, 1861 - July 11, 1937) was an American writer and dentist of Sephardic descent.
 Born in Charleston, South Carolina, he moved to New York City, where he would spend most of his adult life, in 1877.
