I consider it essentially helpful - maybe important - to have a total andaccurate record of all relating to the Will of my late great uncleRoger Melvin.
To which end let me put down the different individuals from his family, andexplain a portion of their occupations and eccentricities. My dad, EdmundHatcher Melvin, was the main child of Edmund Melvin, oldest child of Sir George Halberd Melvin of Hum croft, in the shire of Salop, a Justice of the Peace, and at one-time Sheriff. My incredible granddad, Sir George, had acquired a little home from his dad, Roger Melvin. In his time, incidentally, the name was spelled Milton; however, my extraordinary incredible granddad changed the spelling to the later structure, as he was a useful man not given to feeling, and dreaded in case he ought to in the public eye be mistaken for others having a place with the group of a Radical individual called Milton, who composed verse and was some kind of official in the hour of Cromwell, while we are Conservatives. A similar reasonable soul which started the adjustment of the spelling of the family name slanted him Togo into business. So he became, while still youthful, a leather expert and cowhide dresser. He used for the reason the lakes and streams, and furthermore the oak-woods on his domain - Torrey in Suffolk. He made a fine business, and collected an impressive fortune, with a piece of which he bought the Shropshire domain, which he involved, and to which I am along these lines likely successor.
