Can't believe what we started here, Barbara.
It's like throwing a party and all the relations and neighbours dropping in.
Magic!

Morning everyone!

I've added the transcription of the widow Mary (Gurney) Denchfield's will of 1817 to my blog.

 http://mahoganybox.net/2011/10/amanuensis-monday-1817-will-of-mary-denchfield-of-aston-abbotts/

In it she, the widow of John Denchfield, dairyman of North Marston, mentions all of their children (with the daughters' married names) including her daughter Ann, wife of William Baker. Yay!!!!!!! Finally, proof of Ann Denchfield's lineage Paula!!

I feel sure that an analysis of this record will put to rest the controversy of who bore all of John's children. Many online genealogies report that John had two wives named Mary and that both marriages had issue, but I think this will, along with indirect evidence from other sources, shows he had only one wife who was the mother of all his children.

Thank the gods for probate records!!
