Notes

"In his will dated November i8, 1706, Rich- ard Cocke, of Bremo, leaves legacies to each of his grandchildren then in existence, Cockes, Carys and Pleasants, boys and girls, naming them. The children of his daughter Elizabeth Gary he enumerates as follows: "Richard Cary, JE20; Thomas Gary, JEio; Miles Gary, JEio; Nathaniel Gary, £10." It would seem to follow that that was the order of their birth (Richard was updovibtedly the eldest, receiving a double portion), and that none of the daugh- ters of Miles Gary3 was born prior to 1706. We have accordingly followed that order in our enumeration. The question is now of interest, as upon it depends the seniority of the extant Ghesterfield and Peartree Hall lines."
