Notes:
Believe Mr. John is really 1710 John, s/o 1687 John/Anne nee COSTER.
Mary THOMPSON (1754 - 1772) is the d/o 1722 James THOMPSON / Elizabeth nee THOMPSON. Elizabeth the d/o 1695 William, bap Newland. Believe James is s/o William's brother, 1687 John, bap Newland and a brother to Mr. John. Thus, Thomas and Mary are probably first cousins. Follow?
Since our original posting in 2005, we have learned a bit more about this line from family explorations of BMD information, assisted by FreeREG and the BAFHS (Bristol & Avon FHS) CD series.
We now have details for marriages of the daughters of Mr. John. And from the Bristol Burgess Vols 1-21; 1557-1995 CD we learned that his son, 1744/5 Thomas, Copperworker was named Bristol Burges in 1767, Patron Thomas DYMOCK. In 1830, using deceased Thomas as their parton, son 1779 Thomas and the husbands of three daughters were also named Burgesses [James HIGGINS, smith, m Rachael; William HIGGINS, yeoman m. Ann; Joseph SHEPPARD, gardener m. Martha]. This discovery also revealed that three THOMPSON siblings m three HIGGINS siblings.
