"On Thursday, December 9, 1773, he was married to the sister of Dr. Elliston, Mr of Sidney College, and kept their wedding at Lynton, where Mr. Martyn's mother-in-law lives in the great brick-house by the river, I passing them that day going to Horseth Hall. Mr. Martyn had hired Mr. Bening's house at Thriplow; but unexpectedly next month, in Jan. 1774, at the beginning, he was presented by Mr. Warren to hold the good living of Ludgers-hall in Bucks, for a Minor, for about 16 or 17

"On Thursday, May 22, 1777, Mr. Martyn and the Master of Sidney, drinking tea with me at Milton, he told me that he was disposed to give up the Curatorship of the botanical garden to any person whom the University thought fit to confer it upon, as he was obliged to live on his living at Marlow, near my living of Burnham in Bucks; but that he should keep the museum and books in it, which were given to the University by his father, on condition that he was to have the care of them, being a most choice collection of botanical writers. Mr. Martyn is now reading a course of lectures. I sent him two years ago a curious part of rock, mixed with human bones, from Gibraltar, which Mr. Jacob Bryant gave to me, to place in the museum. I also gave him this day a large piece of a tesselated pavement, which had been Dr,

Charles Mason's, and was given to me by his widow. Mr. Mai tyn told me his family was of Combe Martyn in Dorsetshire, where they had been settled from the Conquest, and gave for arms A. 2 bars G.
