Hull, July 10, 1800. I am now certain that where the York Will Volumes Copyist (on Borthwick microfilm of the Registers) has written Battow, the place should say BARROW (note end of the Will transcription). I did wonder if the Copyist had got it wrong over 200 years ago.

ADDED: I think John Jefferson is the one to concentrate on.
Thos Hewson (Will 1812) was linked to Hull and mentions Ship Owner, William Martin who was in the September 1778 advert when a set of ships were made ready (which included John Hood & John Jefferson).
