Jock Hartley and Family.

Jock had no profession and after a little farming in Texas he married Bertha Taylor, one of whose grandfathers was a cousin of Lord Nelson and the other a cousin of Lord Anson.  (She lived to be 93 and died about 1953-54).  Jock went to the South African war and was galloper to Lord Methuen.  He lived to be in his sixties and died leaving Joshua the younger, who took his degree at Cambridge in Agriculture.  The powers that be at Magdalene College said when he went up "We are glad to welcome another Hartley" - they had had so many.

(Notes  Jock appears to have been the younger brother of the three doctor sons of Dr. Joshua Hartley.  (Editor)).
