Hello
Just read this message. John Cork married Jane Dunn of Uffculme and they had no children as they married in 1765 and John died in 1780. Jane had died in Uffculme in 1765 and she had left everything to her daughter Rebecca born long before her marriage (out of wedlock) but Rebecca died aged only 24. The Henry Dunn mentioned in John's Will was the son of Jane's brother John. They are my husband's family as he is descended from another sister Mary.
