Well Paul, seems that William PEARSE is a Modbury chap. Don't you just love it when I do find a name that could be yours, then find there is another in the same time frame!

I have about a dozen Thomas ROCKEYs in the area around and north of Tavistock. (Every path seems to lead to Broadwoodwidger.) It seems every family had a son named Thomas. Mine was born about 1778 and I haven't found him yet. David Langenberg Newark, Delaware, USA On Jan 23, 2014, at 2:57 PM, B. Edmonds wrote: > Well Paul, seems that William PEARSE is a Modbury chap.
