An interesting genealogical document, handwritten on paper with unusual watermarks. About RALPH HEATHCOTE (from Wikipedia): ******Ralph Heatchote, b.1721 d.1765. In 1748 Heathcote became curate of St Margaret's Church, Leicester, and vicar of Barkby in 1749. He moved in June 1753 to London, where he associated with John Jortin, Thomas Birch, Matthew Maty, and others, who met once a week to drink coffee and talk learnedly. In 1746 Heathcote published a Latin dissertation on the history of astronomy, Historia Astronomiæ sive de ortu et progressu astronomiæ. He produced two pamphlets anonymously: Cursory Animadversions on the Controversy in General (1752), and Remarks upon a Charge by Dr. Chapman (1752); and in the following year wrote a reply to Thomas Fothergill's sermon on the uses of commemorating King Charles I's martyrdom. In 1755 he wrote a controversial work: A Sketch of Lord Bolingbroke's Philosophy. In 1761, he became one of the main writers in the Biographical Dictionary of 1761. In 1767, Heathcote published an anonymous letter to Horace Walpole on the dispute between David Hume and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, which was attributed to Walpole himself. In 1771, he published anonymously The Irenarch, or Justice of the Peace's Manual; the third edition bore the author's name. The second and third editions have a long dedication to Lord Mansfield. In 1786, he produced a miscellany of anecdotes and dissertations, Sylva. In August 1750 Heathcote married Margaret Mompesson, a descendant of William Mompesson of Eyam, and attained financial independence.******. Signed by Author(s).
