As the text below "DIGBY OF MILTON" suggests, the placename [Milton] should be [Tilton]. Confirmation for this has been found in "the Leicestershire Historian", vol. 2, no. 8 (the article "The Tilton Family in America and its Link with Tilton on the Hill" written by Peter D. A. Blakesley), page 7: "... the family of Digby, lords of the manor of Tilton from the twelfth century until the seventeenth century, when the manor was sold."
[DIGBY OF MILTON, BARON] —>
[DIGBY OF TILTON, BARON]
Another misprint for [Tilton] has been found in the "Index":

The author used asterixes to indicate notes. Unfortunately 3 asterixes lack an explanation. They are located at:
[Leicestershire, iv. pt. 2. p. 519.*]
[Leicestershire, iii. pt. 2, p. 1009*]
[ii. pt. i. p. *261;]
The word [coheiress] also occurs with the notation [co-heiress].
Both notations have been maintained.
The plain text file of this ebook uses underscores to indicate italic text
and plus signs to indicate a bold Gothic typeface.
Each family description starts with an illustration representing
their arms. In the plain text file these have been replaced with
[Illustration].
Obvious punctuation/spelling errors were corrected without note.
