Excerpt from New Facts Relating to the Chatterton Family: Gathered From Manuscript Entries in a "History of the Bible" Which Once Belonged to the Parents of Thomas Chatterton the Poet, and From Parish Registers The particulars not to be found in the biographies, which Mr. Taylor contends are afforded by the inscriptions in this family Bible, may, therefore, be reduced to two, viz., that the maiden name of the poet's mother was Young, information certainly not in the biographies, and that the poet had a brother, and that brother was christened by the suggestive names of Giles Malpas, a circum stance certainly over-looked by all investigators. Before either of these data can be embodied in future biographies, however, some more satisfactory evidence of their authenticity must be produced. This hitherto unknown boy, it should be noticed, was born in the same year as Mary Chatterton's birth really took place.
