FOOTNOTES:
[9] It is quite apocryphal that Macklin was two months old when his father was killed at the Battle of the Boyne. When he was in full possession of his faculties he said he was born in November 1699. As he died in 1797 he had accomplished ninety-seven years, the age stated on his coffin-lid, and was in his ninety-eighth year.—Doran MS.
Dr. Doran no doubt means that Macklin's father was not killed at the Battle of the Boyne.

[11] Macklin does not seem to have been at Covent Garden in 1754. He had a farewell benefit at Drury Lane, 20th December 1753, after which he opened his tavern.
[12] Miss Macklin made her first appearance, as a woman, on 10th April 1751, on the occasion of her father's benefit.
[13] Cooke, whose account of this matter is very full, says 3s. a head.
[14] Macklin was at Drury Lane, 1759-60; Covent Garden, 1760-61; and was in Dublin, at Crow Street, in 1761-62.
