May 1776." John Exshaw senior a bookseller in Dublin, married Faith Walker in 1748, they had at least two sons, Thomas, the elder son, and John, the second son who was born in 1751.

Johnson (Amy, aviator, 1903-41) Typed 3pp., lge. 8vo, 15 Vernon Court, Finchley Road, NW2, 11th June 1931, discussing the dangers of flying without adequate seatbelts, "I was very interested to hear about the loop. . It is not advisable, but quite usual, to do loops without being strapped in. So long as the loop is properly done, there should be no danger at all of falling out. . You see, you`re kept in your seat by centrifugal force, just in the same way as the water will stay in a bucket when you quickly swing it up and over.", her irritation at an intractable girl who didn`t want to wear a seat belt on a joy-ride, "she seemed to think she was being treated as a baby by being strapped in. I had quite an argument with her and at last refused to take her at all unless she would have the strap fastened. I`ve no patience with the sort of people who like to throw their weight about and think they know so much better than the people who have been doing the job for years", her correspondents view of some of Bernard Shaw`s opinions, "I am afraid I didn`t hear his [Shaw`s] remarks about St. Joan but I have heard many people say they were surprised at what he said", and a recent flying race, "I arrived about 14th, but my machine was mobbed when I touched the ground, so that I almost thought I must have won. No-one seemed to care I hadn`t won so long as I had arrived safely, so I was quite cheered up. I had quite a good trip, but I don`t like racing for such a long distance as it is very bad for the engine.", folds, browned.
