Hello Richard and Rebekah (also spelled Rebecca) are my 5 x great grandparents. They were married on 27 May 1751 in Charleton, Devon. The witnesses to the marriage were George POUND and Samuel HEWIT. Samuel is a witness for almost every marriage in the register, so maybe he was the parish clerk? Richard was buried 11 September 1792 in Charleton, and Rebekah/Rebecca was christened 22 September 1728, also in Charleton, and buried there on 2 April 1794. My queries are: When and where was Richard born/christened? Did it happen in Charleton as well? And did Richard and Rebekah/Rebecca have children other than my direct ancestor, another Richard? Please let me know if these people are familiar to you and you have information about them. Regards Ros Haywood

Ros, This is of interest to me for documenting that the surname STRAW occurs in Devon. One of my new England ancestors, like Greenfield LARRABEE, namely, William STRAW, shows up out of nowhere in Amesbury, Massachusetts, in 1683. Some have speculated that he came from East Anglia (Suffolk) or the Midlands (Nottinghamshire). Now it seems there is a possibility that his origins might be found in the West of England. Do you know much more about Rebekah's STRAW's parentage and ancestors?
