Thomas Back), John (m. Judith from Ireland), William (m. Catherine Baldock), Mary, Phoebe, Thomas who was the vet in Pluckley that I referred to in a previous post (m. Elizabeth Bolton), Richard (m. Catherine Bradford), Sarah, Celia, your Abraham and finally Samuel - middle name "Daniel" (m. Charlotte Bates). The parents of John Buss (b. 1764) were John Buss and Elizabeth Kingsnorth. After the death of Elizabeth Kingsnorth, John re-married, and I'm descended from his second wife, Mary - with the complications that this entails! I've ordered the microfilm for the Pluckley PRs from 1560 which should help to unravel some queries. Ken
