I have now checked the naming patterns and about all I can conclude is that names from Matthew, James & Joseph families were all used in the immediate generations of James Cull (1778) -
James Cull & Mary West named 3 of their 8 children - James, Sarah, and Mary Anne. Sarah may be after the wife of Matthew, Mary Anne could be a combination of the mother's name and wife of Joseph.
James married Sarah and named his children - George, Joseph and Stephen (died at 9). George married Amelia and used the names James, Mary Jane and Sarah for 3 of his 8 children. Joseph married Sarah and had 2 girls, one of which was named Sarah.
Sarah of James & Mary married George and named her only child Mary.
Quite a riddle.
