Joseph had a son called John Rivers who was born 20th Feb 1774 and married Caroline Palmer in April 1799. The IGI lists two conflicting entries for John's father, one is Jacob and the other Joseph. Jacob being born in 1742 in Hilmarton, Wiltshire and Joseph in 1748. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Joseph Rivers: 1748 Of, Goatacre, Wiltshire, England Wife Mrs. Mary or Ann Rivers 1752 Of, Goatacre, Wiltshire, England Children 1.John Rivers 20 FEB 1774 Hilmarton, Wiltshire, England 2.Mary Rivers 15 SEP 1776 Hilmarton, Wiltshire, England 3.Ann Rivers 24 NOV 1779 Hilmarton, Wiltshire, England 4.Joseph Rivers 1783 Hilmarton, Wiltshire, England 5.Elizabeth Rivers 17 SEP 1786 Hilmarton, Wiltshire, England 6.William Rivers 07 FEB 1790 Hilmarton, Wiltshire, England -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jacob Rivers 1742 Of, Hilmarton, Wiltshire, England Wife Mrs. Mary Rivers 1746 Of, Hilmarton, Wiltshire, England Children 1.John Rivers 20 FEB 1774 Of, Hilmarton, Wiltshire, England -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any help, advice or pointers would be very much appreciated, Syliva.
