Going bCk further Thomas packman of 1775 married Sarah white, but some trees have him marrying twice. His first wife being only 13 and they had 3 or 4 children I think her name is hart. I don't know how this has been discovered as I can't find the marriage.
Also there are 2 different but almost identical families for john west from the area as tney have sons callef Caleb.
Can you tell me something about Thomas s first wife?

Crockenhill is a short walk from my house. It is very old village that was the site of pottery manufacture although few very old houses stll exist. Later it was a significant site for market gardening, especially strawberries & jam making but now most of the residents are employed elsewhere.

  thank you
