Richard [Brown, born at Howtown], ... being loyal, that he might prevent any others of his sons from entering the service of the parliament, sold How-Town, and purchased a customary tenement at Knott, in the manor of Water-Millock. He lived to a very great age; dying, as appears by the parish-register, at the age of an hundred and four. Abraham his son likewise lived to the age of ninety-nine years and ten months; and in such surprising health and vigour, that at the age of eighty-six he mowed in one day an acre of land. His age and activity attracted the notice of the Duke of Norfolk so far, that he promised to enfranchise his estate, provided he lived to the age of an hundred; but this his death prevented by two months." |
