Dear Carol, And it grows and grows!!!!! I just thought to look at the 1670 Hearth tax and at Steynton, amongst the Paupers is Rice Battin, 1 Hearth.........don't be misled by the Pauper tag......most folks when they became aged and probably infirm received that title..... the family or the community had to look after them as they were unable to fend for themselves. Of course, one can't rule out the possibility that the person was actually a pauper as he did only have one hearth, and it could be that along the way one of the family members made a very advantageous marriage.
