Towson, Henry, of Seafield, Cumberland, died 1752, aged 100. His death was followed a few minutes afterwards by that of his wife, likewise aged 100. They had lived together, as husband and wife, threescore and ten years. Tullock, Rebecca, widow, of Aberdeen, N.B., died 1754, aged 105. Thomas, Mr. Robert, of Fairfax County, U.S., died 1821, aged 107. He lived to see the sixth generation of his family, with an almost unprecedented number of descendants. Although his habits throughout life were far from being abstemious, he never had occasion to consult medical advice; and he retained the full use of all his intellectual faculties to the end of his days. Tacey, George, an inmate of an almshouse, Nottingham, died 1737, aged, as was supposed, more than 100 years. He was so robust in his 100th year as to be able to drive a barrel-cart through the streets of the town, from which he sold soft water for washing to the humbler class of house wives, and which he carried in buckets from his vehicle to their homes. Taylor, Mrs., widow, of Great James Street, London, died 1757, aged 103. Tudor, Mr., warder of the Tower of London, and which situation he held sixty-three years, died 1758, aged 104.

She retained the entire use of all her faculties to the last, and died in a state of comparatively good health, free from pain or sickness of any description; the only change perceptible in her being a gradual and easy decay of the powers of nature. Tayler, Sarah, widow, of Prescott, Lancashire, died 1826, aged 99. She left behind her descendants living to the number of one hundred and fifteen. Teasdale, Richard, of Slealey, Northumberland, died 1763, aged 103. Tayler, Elizabeth, widow, of Piccadilly, London, died 1763, aged 131.

Thurston, Mr., of Plymouth Dock, died 1800, aged 100. He was a travelling quack doctor, which profession he followed in almost every part of England for seventy years. His great age and hale constitution, which, before his auditors, he uniformly ascribed to the efficacy of the medicines he had to vend, contributed, no doubt, very much to the veneration in which, as a doctor, he was held by vast numbers of people wherever he visited. Tucker, John, of Leigh, Essex, died 1804, aged 95. For several years during the early period of his life he travelled through various parts of England as a jobbing gardener, in which capacity he lived for a considerable time at Leigh. At length, in 1757, he, being then 47 years of age, quitted this peaceable employment, and, along with several boon companions, entered as a volunteer aboard the "Terrible," a privateer commanded by Capt. William Death. Tucker was on board that ship when she fell in with-and, after an obstinate engagement, in which she lost seventeen men killed besides wounded, captured-the "Alexander the Great," a French "letter of marque," bound from St. Domingo to France. A few days after this capture, and whilst in her crippled condition, the "Terrible" and her prize had to encounter the "Vengeance," French privateer, from St. Malo's, of 36 guns, and 360 men. The "Terrible" having sent forty of her hands aboard the prize, had only 130 men capable of working the ship, which had 26 guns of small calibre. With her superiority of force the Frenchman first bore down upon the "Alexander," which struck after a short action; then having, with her numerous crew, manned that vessel, they proceeded jointly to attack the "Terrible." The latter maintained this unequal contest with an obstinacy and a sacrifice of life, considering the numbers engaged, which has no parallel in the bloody chapter of naval warfare either before or since that time, as the capture was not effected until the "Terrible" had lost every officer, and ten men only remained, out of her original complement, to work the few guns which were still capable of discharging a shot. A curious coincidence of names existed in connexion with this vessel: her name was The Terrible, her captain's name was Death, her first lieutenant's was Devil, and she was equipped in Execution Dock. At the conclusion of the war, Tucker-who was one of the ten men who escaped the general slaughter, and, singularly, without receiving any wound of consequence during either of the actions-returned to Leigh; where he hired a small cottage, to which was attached a garden of somewhat less than an acre in extent. By his labour in the cultivation of this spot of ground he was enabled to procure for himself, even to extreme old age, a comfortable supply of the necessaries of life. The premises falling, at length, however, into the hands of another landlord, poor Tucker received notice to deliver them up; and, in spite of every entreaty, was compelled to yield to the proprietary mandate. For a few days after quitting the place he bore the change in his circumstances with apparent resignation; but the stout heart which bad supported him amidst the appalling scenes of the deck of the "Terrible " was fast giving way under the pressure of nearly a century of years; and in the course of a few weeks it was evident to all around, that he was fast sinking under the silent anguish of a wounded spirit at being deprived of the spot amidst which all his earthly sympathies centered. In about seven or eight days after he had quitted his cottage he took to his bed, at his new lodgings, and never rose again, evidently dying of a broken heart. Tool, Bridget, widow, of Dublin, died 1769, aged 103. Trevanion, Mrs., widow, of Bodmin, Cornwall, died 1769, aged 107. Talbot, Mrs., of Mary-le-bone, London, died 1769, aged 105.

He was a learned man, and a professor in the college of Kallninken. Tate, Mrs., widow, of Malton, Yorkshire, died 1772, aged 106. Tuck, Elizabeth, of Ludham, Norfolk, died 1774, aged 103. Tersenny, Owen, of Shilross, Ireland, died 1774, aged 107. Turtle, Mr., of Braxted, Kent, died 1774, aged 102. Tice, John, of Hagley, Worcestershire, died 1774, aged 125. When about 80 years of age, being engaged in the felling of a tree, he had both his legs broken by its fall, before he was enabled to get out of the way. But from this accident, to the surprise of every one, he speedily recovered; though he was ever afterwards lame from its effects. When about 100, whilst sitting alone by his fireside, he was seized with a fainting fit, and fell upon the live coals, by which he was much burned; yet with proper attention he speedily recovered from this, accident, and took his walks as usual. After the death of his friend and patron, Lord Lyttleton, he became so much affected and depressed in spirits, that he took to his chamber, which he |
