• Notes

  He was age 92 in his burial record, the oldest person I've seen in Somerset burial records. He is listed as a Blacksmith at his marriage to Ann Fry and is likely quite a bit older than her to have that profession and be marrying a minor. His age is verified in his burial record at being age 76 when he passed.
