10880. Richard MILTON^53,147 was born about 1536 in Stanton, St. John, Oxford, England. He died about 1601 in Stanton, St. John, Oxford, England. Richard Milton, son of Henry and Agnes, was a loyal Papist and throughout his life resisted the ifforts to establish the Church of England. After Elizabeth I came to the throne, she strengthened the Church of England by insisting that people of all faiths attend ecumenical services. Attnedance was mandatory, and Richard refused and was convicted and fined sixty pounds on two occasionsin 1601 as a recusant ( a recusant being one who refuses to obey an order or law). Richard's wife, Ellen, had apparently been married previously as record shows her as Jeffreys; nee Bradshaw, Caston, Haughton. The name Jeffreys appears twice in teh Milton geology(sic). First, a Ellen Jeffreys who showed to her son-in-law, John the poet, the Haughton coat of Arms which caused the Miltons to refer to two such designs in their Coat of Arms. In the parish records of All Hallows, Bread Street, London, there appears this entry: "The 22d of Feb AD1610, was buried in this parish Mrs. Ellen J. Jeffries, the mother of Mr John Milton's wife." (Ref. p. 30) Richard MILTON and Elizabeth HAUGHTON were married in 1563.¹⁴⁴
