Note 23 — Chapter V
Reading edition
Footprints of Former Men. I have followed Mr. Hawker’s tale closely, except in one point, where I have told the story as related to me in the neighbourhood differently from the way in which he has told it. Coppinger was really an Irishman, with a wife at Trewhiddle, Cornwall, by whom he had a daughter, who married a son of Lord Clinton. He gave as her portion £40,000. Trewhiddle is near St. Austell.
