Somerset / Re: DURSTON circa 1573-1707. Re: The battle of Sedgemoor

John Durston of Langport (Will) 1572 married Marie? They had 6 daughters and eight sons.
Son John Durston ( I shall name as John Durston 11 married Katherin Moore about 1573. They had two sons of which I am aware.
Thomas Durston 1 Gentleman married Joan Roe , he was buried at Moorlinch Church 25 Jun 1665( Will) He had a brother Robert.
Thomas Durston 11 Gentleman married Katherine Tuxwell 19 Nov 1621. Thomas was buried at Moorlinch 8 Dec 1630 (Will).
Thomas 111 Gentleman/Captain married Edith, he was buried at Moorlinch 22 Jun 1688 (Will). His Charity Number is 226224.
The three Thomas' were buried in one large grave at St. Mary the Virgin, Moorlinch. By the laws of primogeniture the family inheritance transferred to Thomas's cousin Charles (the elder) who married Grace as instructed by Thomas Durston 1 because Thomas D 111 had no sons. This is where it is difficult to establish an ongoing line and records are missing.
Thomas Durston (111) took part in the battle of Sedgemoor. His pistol is held at the Taunton Museum, Somerset, England.
It is very difficult to find all the necessary references to prove what is necessary. I have done so much by obtaining the relevant Wills from the National Archives at Kew.
I would appreciate you advising how you found out what Thomas ate before the battle, etc. Any extra titbits would be great to add.
