The three main families which seem to be intertwined with cousin mariages, etc in that 1/4 of my tree are WHEELER, CARTER and LONG, all in the Binfield and Waltham St Lawrence area, but also with marriages in Clewer, Wokingham and possibly Hurst.    There is also Elizabeth KNIBB c1776 (from Warwickshire, possibly Leek Wootton).  Going further back there are also ATTYs and DOWLINGs and possibly WILLABY. I'm still not sure where any of these families came from prior to about 1750, although if anyone has the parish BMD records for Binfield or Waltham St Lawrence in the 1700s I'd be very grateful if they could spot anything for WHEELER, LONG, CARTER, ATTY and DOWLING - especially if any of the PRs have the sort of notes sometimes added mentioning people who come from other parishes!   One of the problems with Binfield is that there were a lot of large houses and a lot of servants from all over the country (like Elizabeth KNIBB) who married into poorer local families and seem to "come from nowhere" in the records.   I have no idea what Susannah <CARTER>'s maiden name was.   There are some SMITHs in the 1801 Binfield Census, but no FOXes, otherwise I know nothing about those two names.  (I'll send you the Smith stuff directly.)   Therese.
