Thanks for the reply. I haven't found a link with a Christopher Durston and regrettably so far have been unable to prove that my roots extend any further back than the middle of the eighteenth century.

Oh well keep on looking eh?

I have just joined RootsChat and am interested in your family connection to John Durston. I am a direct
descendant of the John who married Betty Hooper in 1770 and am confident that his parents were
John Durston and Francis Carver. However, I too have been unable to to prove the 1707 birth date as the Parish Records are undecipherable and have been trying to make the link with the "Thomas Durstons" of Moorlinch also John of Langport who died in 1572.

I would be extremely interested to hear about your links and whether you have any idea of the source of the information regarding the Durston's participation in the Battle of Sedgemoor.

I am afraid that I was landed with the same name that crops up the most in this research.
Looking forward to your reply
John
