Hi, I have some handwritten papers from a bundle bought at auction , which include 20th C notes on Rogers of Wiveliscome wills, and an earlier page of the children of William WINTER, b 1814, who married Sarah ROGERS, and the children of Anna Williams who was b 1787 died 1868 who married Edward Rogers who died 1826 and 2ndly James STONE who died 1869. William and Sarah Winter had 15 children and the adds that in 1898 ( possibly the date of this note) she had 56 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren . Sarah Winter born Rogers dau of Anna Williams , was one of 12 daughters and one son . Edward Rogers senr had 4 sons including the Edward mentioned above, and three daughters, of which Sarah married Robert Stone and had Edward Rogers Stone, and Anna married James Slape and had a son Benjamin. Edward left a will dated 1813, and left Newtons to Sarah his wife then to cousins Benjamin and Edward on trust for his granddaughter Caroline "Left Daveys to Benjamin and Elizabeth ( son and dau) Left Hugh Hills to Joseph and then his son Edward , Gamlins to George and furniture brought from Cleyhanger . Edward to live at Newtons and if he refuse then Benjamin ." Benjamin Rogers ( presumably the son of Edward above ) left a will dated 1836 and left to Thomas Broadmead of Milverton, farmer, and William Stone, butcher , nephew, of Wiveliscombe , Davys , in trust for nephew Benjamin Rogers Slape son of James Slape . Other notes say that Sarah Stone sister of Benjamin and George mother of William lived at Chipstable , and that Caroline Rogers granddaughter of Benjamin m William Rogers Stone of Bampton , Devon , and lived at Clifton before marriage . From a fleeting search of the 1851 census it would appear that James and Anna Stone both born Wiveliscome were living in Bristol , he was a poulterer , William and Sarah Winter were living in Narberth in Wales in 1851 , she born Wiveliscombe and he in Brompton Ralph. Judging by the ages of the children of William and Sarah , the family moved to Wales between the births of Benjamin aged 6 in the 1841 census described as N for not born in county and the birth of John aged 3 and born Wales , so between 1835 and 1838. If these are anyone`s family , I would be more than happy to scan in copies for you . They are not my family . life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=///

Hello Elizabeth, What a wonderful find! Shame they weren't some of your own. Not sure exactly, but the names in those documents, are the same as several in my tree. Not direct ancestors, but siblings or spouses and cousins etc. All crop up in Wivliescombe, and Essex and Wales, can't be sure, as I con't have exact dates for some of them,. If you're sure you wouldn't mind sharing them, I'd be pleased to have a copy, so I can go over them with more details etc. Thanks for the opportunity to see them Yours in Genealogy, Jan, in sunny QLD, Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: "elizabeth howard" <elizgh@btinternet.com> To: <Eng-SomERSET@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, August 16, 2013 9:54 PM Subject: [ENG-SOM] STONE/ROGERS/WINTER > Hi, I have some handwritten papers from a > bundle bought at auction , which include 20th C notes on Rogers of > Wiveliscome wills, and an earlier page of the children of William WINTER, > b 1814, who married Sarah ROGERS, and the children of Anna Williams who > was b 1787 died 1868 who married Edward Rogers who died 1826 and 2ndly > James STONE who died 1869.
