Of their children:

  • William probably married in Godstone in 1777, either to Susannah Lee on 31st August or to Ann Shirley on 13th November. However he had a cousin in Horne who was only a year older so which was which?

  • Richard seems to have married and had children in Horne. However there were two Richards with families at the same time and it is not clear which was this Richard.

  • Mary married William Dearling in Godstone in 1775 and they lived in Horne.
