A family at Stoke, Gabriel, near Torquay (Eng.), have been tenants of the same farm since towards the end of the loth century; five years ago a farmer died in Roxburghshire at a place where his ancestors had settled in Bruce's day: a blacksmith's forge in Shropshire had been in the possession of its owner's family for 500 years, and an ancestor shod Margaret of Anjou's horse before Blore Heath: there are Purkises living who are direct descendants of the c-hareonl burners who picked up Rufus's body, and descendants of Tyrrell are also to be found, we believe, in the New Forest district.
