Hi List, This is the first time I have posted to this list, in response to Bev's challenge, although I have been watching and reading for a long time. I have learned a lot. So, basically I am researching a Knight line back from Hatherleigh, North Devon. They parish-jumped from Black Torrington after the marriage of one Henry of Black Torrington to Grace Westlake in BT in 1777, when their children were born in Hatherleigh. I have sort of felt my way back to another Henry in BT born 1664, and possibly even his father, John, but could not be 100% sure that it is all correct. Perhaps someone else out there is researching the same lot? I should also mention that I found five early family wills on the Devon Wills Project which may help to clarify the early generations and I was thrilled so thanks all round to those who contributed. I am very grateful. Carolyne Sydney, Australia [on a gorgeous summer's day] Now press Send and hope this works.
