    3. Thank you Bev, Joy & Elizabeth for your advice. I haven't had any luck with your suggestions, therefore I must presume these farms were small holdings within the districts named Medland & Upcott, although the land at Medlands Upcott was 37+ acres, which would be a considerable area for a leased property to a man of limited means. . In a document dated 29.12.1840, in connection with the examination of his granddaughter, Elizabeth, who was removed back to Hatherleigh from Cornwall, her father, Thomas Jewell, stated his father (James) has paid "upwards of 100 pounds" for the Medlands Upcott land in about 1807 after having leased it at 13 pounds per annum. He then lived on the property for a further 13 years. Margaret
