From your previous thread.... the children's names were: Robert, Thomas, Jane, William x 2, Frances, Sophia &
Patty. Patty is a 'rare' christian name in Gloucestershire - from the Forest of Dean Records there are only 16 Patty's listed between 1768 and 1945 and no Patty HALE's.

Family Search has the burial at Stafford of Patty HALE - 6 March 1777 - parents: James & Ann
probably christened 24 June 1767 at Saint Peter, Droitwich, parents: James & Ann
and the baptism of Patty HALE at Stafford - 16 December 1787 - mother : Rebecca.
