Buried on the 3rd of July 1748 at St Catherine's, Eskdale, Cumberland from Randlehow

Notes

1    Left property in his will to his grand-children Robert Stubbs, Jane Stubbs and Isaac Nicholson and £20 to his grand-daughter Sarah Gunson. Since Sarah was able to leave at least £300 in her own will in 1760, perhaps he felt that she needed less!

2    Mary married in 1717, so Robert was probably born before 1670 but very unlikely to be born before 1650.

3    If the marriage was in 1686 then Robert likely to have been born before 1660.

4    1691 May23    Barbary Daughter of Robert Sherwen buried at Irton
      1691 Jan 01    Elinor Sherwen buried
      1701 May 12    Jon Sherwen

5    Grandchildren Robert and Jane Stubbs imply another daughter who married a Stubbs, but died (with her husband) before 1745?
