    REV . EDWARD EVANSON , A . W . [ Concludedfrom page 7 *} IN the year 1786 Mr . Evansdn married Miss Dorothy AU chorne , second daughter of the late Mr . Robert Alchorne , of the Old Jewry , a man of great integrity , and much esteemed by a numerous acquaintance .

    After his marriage tie lessened the number of his pupils , and in the year 1789 having purchased an estate at Great Blakehana , Suffolk , about five miles from Ipswich , with about one hundred and sixty acres of land , he gave up his plan of tuition , and retired thither and farmed his estate .
