formation from her Son I{obert Woodvoorth now living 
in Carlton, of the Age of (^9, as able a man to ditch and 
plough as any in the Town. 
William Garthrop and William Baxter of Carlton in- 
forjn me, that they two being upon the Jury at; Tork^ 
1664. they faw and fpake with in the Affize-Hall, two 
Men, Father and Son, fummoned as WitnelTes in fome 
Caufe or other out of Dent , fmall Valley in Crave?i 
8 miles beyond the Father to W them, that he and 
his Son made twelvefcore between them , that his Son 
was above 100^ and that he wanted not half a year of 
140. he told them farther that he could and did make 
Fifh-hooks as (mall 4s would take a Trout with a fingle 
hair. They obferved that the Son looked much the old- 
er, and had the whiter hair, this Son he had by a fecond 
Wife: They could not remember the names of thefe » 
Perfons. 
I add, that it is to be obferved, that the Foodoi all 
this mountanous Country is exceeding courfe, asfalted 
and dryed Beef, and lower-leavened Oat bread. 
I am, confident many fcores of perfons might be 
found oFthe age of 100 years among thefe Northern 
Mountains, but 'tis troublelome to verifie, and you muft 
not take thefe Reports as Authentick and exad,- but 
yet credible Enough , to make the matter worth the 
Examination.
