Title: Joseph Cabot (Cabbott)
Post by: Bazza64 on Tuesday 06 November 12 10:23 GMT (UK)

..died in 1741 in Minstead, Hampshire. He was a shoemaker originally from the Channel Islands, married Catherine Purkes in Minstead 1701, so am guessing that he was born in the Channel Islands in around 1680. Had no luck with the name Joseph Cabot but a lot of other Cabot's around, can anybody help with birth  or family details, thank you

Hi there,

I have found a baptism in Trinity, Jersey, Channel Islands, for a Josue (Joseph) Cabot.  Baptism date is 17 Oct 1680; Father: Nicolas; Godparents: Josue Gruchie and Ester Le Couteur his fiancee.  Unfortunately in the early parish records no mother's name is recorded.

Hope this helps,

Patty

Hi Patty,

Thank-you for that, there is a wealth of Cabot's in Jersey and Trinity in particular, but had not been able to find a 'Joseph' - thats because I was looking for the wrong thing! Had a glance through the excellent Jerripedia, just a case of finding the link between Josue here and 'my' Joseph, not easy of course, but does look very promising
