"Dear Edward, - I wrote and acknowledged postal order yesterday. Suppose you would
have letter this morning. In the first place about pedigree, grandmother's mother,
née Margaret Sadler, daughter of Richard Sadler, of Scruton, near
Bedale, Yorkshire, married Richard Taylor (grandmother's father) somewhere about
the year 1782. Two sisters of the above named Margaret Taylor,
née
Sadler, are mentioned in an old Bible. Mary Sadler married to Robert Lane, of
Pigdon, near Mitford, Morpeth, and who died July 2nd, 1835. Her husband, Robert
Lane, died May 21st, 1828: both are buried in Mitford Churchyard. I saw the stone
near the path leading to the principal entrance to the lovely old Church of Mitford.
They lie next to the graves of the Mitford family. Uncle Lane was very wealthy; be
farmed 900 acres of land in Pigdon, and bred blood horses for the king. I have
heard from father and mother that some of the Lanes - indeed, it was the above
Robert Lane's father or grandfather, I believe, sheltered the pretender during the
Rebellion when the Earl of Derwentwater suffered, he, the pretender, being bidden
in the old farm house some weeks. His wife, Mary Lane, died at Elswick Villa, the
'Green Room' being built for her with a French window, so that she could get into
the garden without coming through the house. The other sister, Ann Sadler, married
a person of the name of Digby, and died at Midleham in Yorkshire, April loth, 1836.
Her husband, Leonard Digby, also died at Midleham, Feb. 13th, 1846. I have a letter
on which father has written Aunt
