I have a little more information.  Joseph Drinkwater--probably the same one who was a witness to the marriage of William Drinkwater and Sarah Harris in 1760 in Potterspury--married Susannah ?, location unknown, but probably NOT Northampton.  They had two children Frances Drinkwater baptised 31 Jul 1768, and Hannah Ruth Drinkwater baptised 20 Jul 1773, both in Potterspury Northampton. 

Susannah was buried on 11 Oct 1801 in Potterspury at age 78, giving an approximate birth year of 1733.

If a matching marriage shows up in Enstone that would be a big find.  Also if there is a Joseph Drinkwater born/chr about 1730 in Enstone that would be interesting as well, especially if he had a brother named William b/chr abt 1735.

There were a couple of William Drinkwaters kicking around Enstone at that time, one born 1770 and one born 1768.  One married Letetia Smith and the other married Mary Rose.  I believe I am descended from the William and Mary.

Happy to correspond and share
