Any information about members of a large family of Rev John Hornblow in Braintree circa 1775 to 1789.
My 4x greatgrandmother was a Sarah Hornblow her father Rev John was a Baptist minister of the fire and brimstone variety. He was known for having a 'large family' in Braintree but apart from Sarah we have been unable to find any of them as yet.
Are there Any Hornblows out there?

John Hornblow born 1744 on BARNES on the Thames . I have detailed this on my website. https://sites.google.com/view/sarah-hornblow-1820-settler/rev-john-hornblow
His obit says he was born in Halstead so I can only assume that this is what he believed having lived there for much of his life . The family evidently moved from Barnes to Halstead before 1755.
They may have lived elsewhere for a short time after his brother Jeronimo or Jeremiah arrived 1749 however I have not discovered where, there is a 6 year gap in the information, but by 1755 they were in Halstead in Essex ; John was 10 years old by then
