• Notes

  Benjamin, with his elder brother Miles, took over the ships and the trade of their father. He would not discharge his old servants when the trade was ruined by the European wars, so lost heavily. Farmed sheep in the Cheviots. Entered the Navy on the Leocadia and was drowned off the coast of the Baltic. [Barbers of the Peak, p 212] Did Benjamin have another child Dorothy?
