[The name is spelt by Fox sometimes Traves and sometimes Travers; but
who he was there is no particular mention; except that it appears from
Bradford's letters that he was some friend of the family, and from the
superscription to one of them, that he was the minister of Blackley,
near Manchester, in which place, or near to which, Bradford's mother
must then have resided. Strype says, he was a learned and pious
gentleman, his patron and counsellor.--_Mem. Eccles._, vol. iii. part
I. p. 364.]
_Precise Dates of Births and Deaths of the Pretenders._--Will any one be so
kind as to tell me the date of the birth and death of James VIII. and his
son Charles III. (commonly called Prince Charles Edward Stuart)? These
dates are given so variously, that I am anxious to ascertain them
correctly.
