Abraham FISHER, father of Aquilla, died 14 December 1794 and was buried on the 18th December at Stapleton. He was a miller. I do not have his wife's first name but her surname was JAGG (or possibly TAGG). Aquilla's mother was one of at least 4 children, although I only have names for Elizabeth JAGG (who married Hattill JENNINGS, a mealman of Stapleton on 27th April 1740 at Stapleton, and William JAGG, who lived at Hannams Mills in 1776, and had several children. The fourth child, a daughter, married ? STIGE. These details are pieced together from family Wills. For example Hattill JENNINGS (bur 1st Dec 1775) and his wife Elizabeth JENNINGS nee JAGG died 6 May 1798 left very helpful Wills which mention many relatives including the HOBBS family: Henry HOBBS of the parish of Stapleton, miller and his children John HOBBS, Henry HOBBS the younger, William HOBBS, James HOBBS, Joseph HOBBS. and the FISHER family (Aquilla's siblings): Mary FISHER (born abt 1765) daughter of Abraham FISHER, miller [married John Wyatt CATER 1780] Edmund FISHER son of the above Abraham [miller, lived Lacock, Wiltshire] Elizabeth FISHER daughter of the above Abraham If your correspondent would like more details of these Wills I can send them privately.

Hattill JENNINGS rang a bell in my mind. Looking in the B & S archives I found a March 2006 message I'd written to Dianne Dixon about a memorial to HATTIL JENENS (sic) and his relict, Elizabeth, on a flat stone in the nave of Stapleton Church. > For example Hattill JENNINGS (bur 1st Dec 1775) and his wife Elizabeth > JENNINGS nee JAGG died 6 May 1798 left very helpful Wills which mention > many relatives including the HOBBS family: > If your correspondent would like more details of these Wills I can send > them privately. How exciting! I would think that he would be very pleased to see the information from the wills. Hopefully, he will be reading these messages, by now, and will make contact with you.
