Ann Shotter born Bramshott 1780 to William Shotter and Eizabeth Levett, was the mother of an illegitimate son George born in 1802. He was my 3 x great grandfather. Ann never married.
It is not inconceivable that she is also the mother of James Shotter who also appears to be illegitimate

and as Petworth/Lurgashall is just a hop skip and jump from Bramshott, with Shotters as scattered all over Hampshire and Sussex as they were, two mother-only Shotter births to Ann in that short time frame has quite a strong possiblity of them being siblings.
We have dna matches to the descendants of Ann's brother via Ancestry testing.
There was another Ann Shotter also born in Easeborne in 1780 to a different branch of the family. I believe she did marry.
I found this post by accident on Google today whilst chasing old Shotters so I am sorry it took this long to delve into Rootschat for this part of the Family.
