Right Honorable Sir William Heathcote, Bart., of the Privy Council, late Member of Parliament for the University of Oxford, the pupil and warm friend of the poet Keble, whom he preferred to the Rectorship of Hursley, which will ever be as famous as that of George Herbert at Bemerton, and father of Sir William Heathcote, the sixth and present Baronet.
Caleb, the sixth son, left six children -- Gilbert and William and four daughters : Anne, Mary, Martha and Elizabeth. Three of these -- AVilliam, Mary and Elizabeth -- died young. Gilbert, while a youth of twenty, co mpleting his education in England under the care of his Uncle Gilbert, took the small pox and died, and is buried in that city. Anne, the eldest daughter, married James de Lancey (born 1703, died 1760), eldest surviving son of Etienne -- in English Stephen -- de Lancey, the first of that family in America, subsequently Chief Justice and Governor of the Province of New York, of whom the late Rt. Rev. William Heathcote de Lancey (born 1797, died 1865) was the eldest surviving grandson, and the father of the writer of this essay. Martha, the only other child of Colonel Caleb Heathcote, who came to maturity, married Lewis Johnston, of Perth Amboy, New Jersey, and left two sons -- John L. and Heathcote-- and two daughters -- Anne and Margaret. The line of Heathcote Johnston is now extinct, and that of John L., it is said, is now extinct in the males. Anne married William Burnet, son of Governor Burnet of New York, and grandson of the famous Bishop Burnet of King William's and Queen Anne's day, but this line is also extinct.
