Notes:

William Hobson married Ann Carey. She was the sister of Dr William Carey. It is he who it may be said started the stream of Bible translations. He had the urge to bring the Bible to men everywhere and this led him to carry the Gospel overseas. He was the first missionary to India being selected on 2 October 1792, after the Baptist Missionary Society was formed at Kettering. In India the early years were one of hardship and struggle. Eventually he was appointed professor of Sanskrit – the master key to many of India’s dialects. The professorship was at Fort William College, Calcutta.

Ann Hobson (nee Carey) gave herself to God – she thankfully insisted that she owed their discipleship to William Carey. Ann won her farmer husband to Christ who opened his Cottesbrook farmhouse for the preaching of the Gospel, to the anger of Sir James Langham of Langham Place who was his baronet landlord. He refused to allow the preaching as it was a departure from the church as Established. After William Hobson’s early death he evicted Ann, saying, “I certainly shall never feel disposed to surrender my farms and houses to those who oppose my wishes in matters which I consider of the utmost importance. Besides, your’s is a conspicuous family and of much influence in the neighbourhood”.

Ann then returned to her birthplace – Paulersbury – where they continued to farm. Like many other people in England at this time she must have fallen on hard times and decided to send her two youngest sons, David and William, to the Colony with the 1820 Settlers.

In all probability if they had not been persecuted for their religious beliefs they would not have been sent out with the Settlers.

William married Ann Carey in Mar 1789. Ann was born in 1763 in Paulersbury, S E England; died in 1843. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Description: All below from Sue MACKAY:
Cheshire Bishop’s Transcripts Samuel BONNIN of Macclesfield married Sarah GLOVER on 11 January 1801 in Prestbury, Cheshire.
================
1820 Settlers
Samuel BONNIN married Ann WORRELL on 5 June 1817 in St.Martin in the Fields, Westminster.
Both signed their names.
Witnesses: Thomas WORRELL and Elizabeth SQUIRE

Ann WORRELL was the second wife of Samuel BONNIN. On their marriage entry Samuel is not designated as either a bachelor or a widower, but Caroline and Susannah were definitely children of a first marriage.
==============
Robert, son of Samuel and Ann BONNIN, cabinet maker, 66 Great Queen St, was baptised on 27 November 1819 in St.Giles in the Fields, Holborn.

This is clearly the ‘infant son’ referred to in Samuel’s letter, as the address is the same as that on the correspondence, but Robert probably died in infancy as he did not accompany his parents to the Cape.
============================
Daughters of Samuel BONNIN and Sarah GLOVER Caroline, daughter of Samuel BONNIN and Sarah baptised 6 November 1803 in St.Luke’s, Old Street (born 22 September)

Susannah BONNIN of Samuel by Sarah baptised 4 May 1806 in St. Giles in the Fields (born November 21 1805

Henry James BONNIN, son of Samuel and Sarah, baptised 30 July 1809 in St.James, Westminster (born 10 July) [JP- ? must have died before 1820]
