• Notes

  ""Twin Trails" does not give the father of John who married Elizabeth Potter. "The Life of Sir Richard Southey, KCMG , etc" doesn't either as far as we can tell. The Mormon IGI (1976) gives at least three possible Johns (see attached ) in mid 18th century Culmstock - son of George baptised 1745 appears reasonable - bearing in mind the Cape colonist's name - but mere speculation at this stage. Note: it does not give Lawrence (born 1738, the inheritor). JBH Bostock ( 14/02/2001 Martin Gillham's interpretation...) suggests the missing generation is another John, and ties up two further John generations with the John (died 1684) of "Twin Trails " (i.e. four successive ancestors called John!)."
