They have been dead a good while.

He was a very famous man.
FELICITY KING.
(PETER, MODESTLY: "I don't know much about Shakespeare myself but I've got a book of his plays that belonged to my Aunt Jane, and I guess I'll have to tackle him as soon as I finish with the Bible.") THE STORY OF AN ELOPEMENT FROM CHURCH This is a true story.

It happened in Markdale to an uncle of my mothers.
He wanted to marry Miss Jemima Parr.

Felicity says Jemima is not a romantic name for a heroin of a story but I cant help it in this case because it is a true story and her name realy was Jemima.

My mothers uncle was named Thomas Taylor.
