(The following is from the Volume: The Family of Milton, by Hugh M. Milton) Henry Milton who resided in Stanton -- Saint -- John, England. He and his wife Agnes' wills are in the Bishops Registry at Oxford (Ref. 4 pp14-15). From the Will of Agnes, two children are mentioned, Richard and Elizabeth, with an additional reference to " my son William Howze". It is not known if William is from a previous marriage or if he is the husband of the Elizabeth, my belief is that he is the husband of Elizabeth. Both Henry and Agnes were dead by 1562 and left only Richard to preserve the Milton name. Their bodies were interred at Stanton -- Saint -- John, England.

In the Will of Henry Milton, great grandfather of the poet, there is the provision " I give to Isabel my daughter a Bullock and a half quarter or of barley, and Richard my son shall keep the said Bullock untill he is three years old; item, I give to Roland Mylton and Alys Mylton, each of them, half a quarter of barley----" (p. 15 Ref. 4)

In the Will of Agnes Milton, there is mentioned "--- my daughter Elizabeth---- and my son Richard,-------- my son William Howse-----" As one can see Henry named the daughter Isabel, and Agnes named daughter Elizabeth, neither one named the other, so it is my belief that they are one in the same Elizabeth Isabel Milton. And of the Will of Henry Milton the mention of Roland Mylton and of Alys Mylton has one to believe that they are either children of Henry, possibly of previous marriage, or more than likely brothers of Henry.
