Hi Adrian, There are two Benjamin Vanstone Burials on FMP. 3rd Dec 1785 - Where Dowland - Notes Iddesleigh 24th Nov 1799 - Where Dowland - Notes Winkleigh - Age 60 The second one is more likely to be yours then, as giving Winkleigh as presumably place of abode when died. Transcripts are by the Devon Family History Society, so can contact them for any queries/questions or copies of the actual Register entry.

Hi David I understand that the Turkish Pirates did originally operate within the Mediterranean Sea but certainly later expanded their area of operation into the Atlantic. Many of the ships fishing in Newfoundland would, at the end of the season, would take their cargo to Portugal/Spain before returning to England. Later (c. 1700's) they used larger ships called "Sack Ships" to take the fish to market and the smaller fishing ships returned to England. I suspect the the biggest risk to these English ships from the pirates was when they went to Portugal / Spain to sell their fish as opposed to while they were fishing in the ocean off the Atlantic coast. I also understand that the pirates sometimes took some of the captured sailors as part of their crew, I expect these men would certainly be able to show the pirates how to navigate the Atlantic.

Langenberg Sent: Monday, February 03, 2014 12:08 PM To: devon@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [DEV] Devon petition re Pirate activity - Newfoundland fishery Gion and Ed, This is quite interesting to me. I believe I started this thread with a speculation about Devon being the place of origin of Greenfield LARRABEE, and it has turned into a more general discussion about transatlantic shipping in the 17th century. I am now exploring some documents relating to mid-17th century shipping from Bristol (after someone pointed out that Bristol or ports on the North Devon coast were more likely than south coast cities like Plymouth and Falmouth to be involved in transatlantic commerce) and I have found a reference to "Turkish pirates" off the coast of Portugal. That rather surprised me, because I was under the mistaken impression that the Turks had stayed within the Mediterranean Sea. I want very much to take a look at the site you mentioned to see his methodology and his results. I haven't quite synthesized the Bristol documents yet, but I believe the master of the 1647 ship from Barbados that ran into a spot of trouble in Connecticut, where Greenfield LARRABEE is first mentioned, namely Steven Reekes, is mentioned a couple of years previously in a Bristol document. At that time he was master of another ship engaged in the Barbados trade from Bristol. David Langenberg Newark, Delaware, USA On Feb 3, 2014, at 10:03 AM, edbar wrote:

Hello Ruth Thank you for your suggestion. I suspect that "my" Benjamin did not die c 1785 after all! I have just located a number of baptisms in nearby Winkleigh of children of Benjamin and Thomasin VANSTONE between 1781 and 1790. It therefore appears that Benjamin must have died sometime between say 1780 and 1816. I have e-mailed the OPC for Winkleigh to see if she has any record of his burial in Winkleigh. My connection with Benjamin VANSTONE is through his wife Thomasin whose maiden name was WEEKS. It is the first time for quite a while since I have looked at this family!

Hi Adrian, I have a burial at Iddesleigh on 03 Dec 1785 of a Benjamin Vanstone. This has been obtained from another tree on Ancestry and I have not checked the information. They have it as the burial of a Benjamin born in Dowland in 1711. It sounds more likely to be your Benjamin. Hope this helps.

Hi Bev, Many thanks. I have notes on possible rellies, but until I can find more on John such as a baptism, it remains conjecture. The Bellett/Scaggle combo is Ann's lot. Now how come I haven't come across the 1851 for John Jnr? Thanks again. I have tried googling Devon History Centre but it reverts to Devon County who seem to want things by post. Might try FMP as the transcription is there, but no cost given. I'll have to think of a few more queries before I buy more credits.

Hi Tim, Thanks. I had discounted this one as, if it is 'my' John, then who is the father of Emma born C. 1840 without being registered? Mind you, who is the father of Sarah, born 1844? I know that the English Death Cert gives very little, but I may have to cough up and hope that the informant ties in somehow. I'll check out that link too. Bernie Hi Bernie, Only possible death of a John Taylor is one in Sep Q 1837 - RD Kingsbridge - Vol 9 - p 180. According to FMP a John Taylor aged 30 is buried in Dodbrooke 17 Sep 1837. So even though you still don't know what parish he was from you at least have an idea of when he was born. Assuming this is your John. So you probably need to go through most of the parishes around Dodbrooke/Blackawaton see http://www.our4bears.net/index.htm for more info. Tim Treeby DFHS 13926

Hi Gion Here is a URL to a petition (on a Newfoundland genealogy website) about "Turkish Pirates" activity.

Thanks Bev, I didn't want to write a long essay but maybe... Children baptised in Dodbrooke. The Belletts were well established in Blackawton, Ann baptised there 1809, but I can't see many Taylor happenings in that area, but a few in Dodbrooke I have Ann with family members on 1841 to 1881 - but John must have died before 1840. Ann married twice more and had a daughter inbetween! I will locate DHC and check availability of the marriage. Thanks for a new line of enquiry. Bernie Hi Bernie Where were the children baptised that you have............. Thomas 1832 etc. and where was William 1838 born? According to the Banns Notice at Blackawton John was otp and Ann BELLETT was a sojourner. Do you have a printout copy of the marriage from Devon History Centre [old DRO] If so what does it say, who were witnesses etc.? Have you found them on any census?

Elizabeth, Thanks for thinking of me and my quest for ROCKEYs. I have some tentative ideas about how these ROCKEY burials might fit in, but I am still building my database. My CD for the Archdeaconry of Tavistock has not arrived from England, but I believe you must have been using another CD, which goes to show me that I should perhaps invest in that one as well. Yesterday, while working on some of the censuses for ROCKEY, I ran across the name VANSTONE as well, but in checking my notes, I find I didn't write the household down. (I was looking at Stoke Amerel, Beerferris, Werrington,, Broadwoodwidger, Virginstow, Lifton, Buckfastleigh, Whitchurch, Dolton, and Chittlehampton in Devon, and Stratton in Cornwall, so it was probably in one of those places.) VANSTONE struck me as a rather "un-English" name. When you do research, as I do, in the Delaware River valley of the northeast United States, you would immediately think it was a Dutch name. Does anyone know whether the name is pronounced with the accent on the first syllable or the second? I suspect the first.

Thank you Tim, I will settle down with all this wonderful information and try to work with what records I have here. Hopefully I can sort it all today.

Hello Linda Thank you for your very speeedy reply! Yes, we have been in contact before. I have many forebears from the area you cover as OPC. I am somewhat wary of the burial you have located in Broadwoodkelly. It seems a little strange to me that Thomasin would be buried in a different village to her husband particularly bearing in mind that her burial, which was later, was in their home village of Iddesleigh. It is a pity that the burial registers from that time do not include ages etc. Best wishes Adrian On 03/02/2014 09:15, Linda wrote: > Hi Adrian > > Think we have been in touch before.
