[XLIII.] This is a mistake. E<dmund> W<yld> esq. assures me that 'twas JAMES CHALONER that dyed in the Isle of Man: and that THOMAS CHALONER dyed or went beyond the sea; but which of them was the eldest brother he knowes not, but he ghesses JAMES to be the elder, because he had 1500 _li._ per annum (circiter), which THOMAS had not.
