Abstract
Abstract In the fall of 1844 Galton took rooms in London near Hyde Park with two Cambridge friends, W. F. Gibbs and H. Vaughan Johnson. Gibbs was later tutor to the Prince of Wales while Johnson became involved in legal work with Galton’s friend Eben Kay. During 1845 the affairs surrounding Tertius’s estate were wound up and the family began to scatter. Emma, a spinster, lived with their mother either at Leamington or at Claverdon, a Warwickshire estate Tertius had purchased in 1824 as a summer residence. Delly married Robert Shirley Bunbury on May 18, 1845, only to be widowed a year later and left with their baby, Millicent. Milly would become close to Galton late in his life. In December Bessy married Edward Wheler. Lucy, wed for some time to James Moilliet, was suffering from the effects of rheumatic fever contracted as a child and had only three years to live. Darwin, Galton’s eldest brother, was married to his second wife. They were living with her mother at her country house near Stratford-on-Avon. Erasmus, Galton’s other brother, was farming his estate at Loxton in Somersetshire.
