I can certainly see your researching skills are far above mine J.J. !! I hadn't tried to look back from Elizabeth Martin, but it would seem you have certainly found her parents. Family search also has a Susanna Martin buried Chudleigh on 14 November 1792, Bishops Transcripts, who doesn't appear to listed in the Wiki Tree entries. .. maybe no stone. Are you suggesting a possible connection to the Robert and Mary Nosworthy buried there? I'm going to look at Graham Nosworthy's work and see what he has on them. I see you have their children listed.
What does this mean in today's English:
Chudleigh Deed of covenant for levying a fine, Chudleigh, 18th October 1824
...1) Richard Richards of Chudleuigh, limeburner and Ann his wife,
and James Nosworthy of North Tawton, saddler and Elizabeth his wife
Are you thinking that the Ann Martin who married Richard Richards, was a sister to Elizabeth? Probably born too late for that though? But connected in some way for sure.
"Poor Thomas" certainly didn't do well on either side of the ocean. I agree. No mention of him in newspapers that I can find.
James Nosworthy who died in 1855, Eggbuckland: I did ask about will. Charge would be around 15 pounds.... given that it is looking more and more like this line will not connect up to mine, I doubt I can talk myself into buying it.
Index to Death Duty Registers, 1796-1903; James NOSWORTHY; residing Eggbuckland, Devon; Exec: John Nosworthy ... illegible address. This would be the son who stayed in England then. Found him also in later censuses.
I also lucked out in finding the memorial stone for James and Elizabeth ... copyright and image poor, but definitely them.
https://web.plymouth.gov.uk/archivescatalogue/ https://quinte.ogs.on.ca/find-it/ A search for James Nosworthy at this website does pull up documents, but no will for his death in Belleville. I will contact the fellow you mentioned earlier and see what happens.
Not sure what happened to the family of Charles Wesley Nosworthy who died in 1900, but from the newspaper it would seem he sold his business and his wife sold everything else: No sign of his wife in 1901. "Intelligencer, Dec 1, 1889: Lost and Found. Officer Morton picked up on Front st. yesterday a little girl 4 years of age who had wandered away from home. After considerable time had elapsed she was found to be a daughter of Chas. Nosworthy".
Intelligencer, 1 Jan 1896: Livery business of Chas. Nosworthy bought by Byron Way.
Intelligencer, 1 Nov 1896. Mr. D. J. Fairfield will sell by public auction at the residence of Mrs. Chas. Nosworthy, Albert St., the whole of her household furniture and effects on Tuesday, Nov. 10th.
