EDITH, baptized in 1642, is spoken of in her father's will by her maiden name,--in her sister, Mrs. Cooper's will, in 1693, as then the wife of Pope the elder. She died in 1733, the last survivor of the family. JANE, baptized in 1645, married ---- Smith. Both were living when Mrs. Cooper made her will in 1693. ELIZABETH, is named in her father's will, 1665, and her sister Cooper's will, 1693, as unmarried. MARTHA, baptized 1641, and named in her father's will. Either she or (less probably) her sister Margaret was the wife of ---- Calvert, who was living in 1693, according to Mrs. Cooper's will. J. C. Brooke says that she was maintained in her old age by her nephew, Captain Charles Mawhood, who resided at Alkley, near Doncaster. She was a Roman Catholic. MARGARET, baptized 1643. She (or Martha) married a clergyman named Mace. There were several clergymen of that rare name living at York and in the northern part of Derbyshire. She is named in her father's will, and, with her husband, in her sister Cooper's. Ten daughters have now been presented before us; but Brooke, who professes to write from the information of the elders of the family, speaks of two others, viz., Mrs. Tomlinson, whom we may suppose to have married in the family of Tomlinson of York, one of the supervisors of Turner's will; and Mrs. Corbet, who he says was one of the five Roman Catholics. She was, I conceive, the Mrs. Corbet on whom Pope wrote what pleased Dr. Johnson most of all his epitaphs. One of the unmarried daughters, Thomasine, Elizabeth, or Mary, must have been the deformed sister who lived with Mrs. Pope, and who taught her son to read, according to the popular accounts of the Poet. We have thus accounted for twelve of the fourteen daughters. The remaining two we may well believe died in infancy or early youth. Whatever excellent qualities Edith may have possessed, it would seem that her literary education was not much superior to that of other young ladies of her time, and inferior to that of many. This is proved by a letter of hers, the only one I believe that is known, printed in the _Additions to the Works of Alexander Pope, Esq._, 1776, vol. ii. p. 96.[5] The people of York seem not to have been without a due sense of the honour done to their city in having had the mother of so great a man residing among them in her youth. In some verses addressed to Lady Irwin, a daughter of the Earl of Carlisle, these lines occur:-- York lent us Pope by th' mother's side: But from th' paternal, this our pride Gives Castle Howard: say which here Illumines most the natal sphere. * * * * *
