TIPPET, TOCKER & DUNSTONE

[garlands]

Claire,

   The Will of Daniel TIPPET contains a bequest:-

       'To son John, 2 messuages or ........................'

but I have no trace of John, and his position in the Will implies that he comes between Peter (08.06.1672)and Ann (26.04.1674), a place taken in my records by son Daniel (19.04.1673). In fact, there is no space for John until after Ann or between the two Elizabeth's. However, there are two baptismal records for a John in the right time frame but to other fathers, namely:-

       08 Dec 1674 John TEPPET s of Martyn
       13 Dec 1675 John TEPPET s of Gabriel

so where on earth does Daniel's son John come from, and where does he fit into the picture?

Hi Polly,

   Lovely to hear from you.

   I don't have a record of any of the DUNSTONE's you mention, so shall start looking. My DUNSTONE links are possibly a generation earlier, and you're very welcome to details if you would like.

Regards

George

That would be great George if you can let me have some names. It's not so easy going back to the 17th and 16th centuries is it: especially when the mother's name was not recorded

Polly,

   What I've got is:-

Henry DUNSTONE (c1630) m Katherine RICHARD (C1630) in Wendron 23 Nov 1652

Their son

William DUNSTONE (30 Dec 1655) m Grace MANNET (c1658) in Wendron 25 Aug 1679

They had at least 5 children:-

Richard (c1679)
Katherine DUNSTONE (c1680) m John TEPPET in Wendron 26 Dec 1701
Samuel (28 May 1685 in Wendron)
William (11 May 1688 in Wendron)
Elizabeth (16 Feb 1689/90 in Wendron)

and there endeth my DUNSTONE connection!

   I hope that some of the above is of use, and I shall continue looking.

Claire,

   I've received the following reply from John Evans, the St Wenn OPC:-

      "OPC records for St Wenn begin in 1707 (burials), 1708 (baptisms) & 1678 (marriages - Phillimore's)"

so there's nothing he can do for us.

IGI has coverage of St Wenn from 1608, although not sure how complete that is.

It's a shame the OPC cannot help more but I'm sure something will come up at some point, new records are released all the time~ we will be lucky one day 

Just had a look at Jane Tippets Will dated 1694, her bequest " To grandsons Richard TIPPETT and John TIPPETT, sons of Daniel TIPPETT, 5s each at age 16 " ~ would suggest he wasn't that age in 1694.

Will have a look at births after c1678 ~ LOOKED ~ can't find one !!

On 24 May 1679 Daniel baptised Elizabeth,  9 months later on 24th Feb 1680 there is a John baptised but with no parent names....

Hi Polly

Welcome to the forum 

I think that most of the Dunstone's in Wendron were descendants of this man

Robert DUNSTONE (bn c1545 - 1597)

But Wendron records are full of Dunstones, and I'm struggling

Polly,

   According to the Wendron PR, there is a baptism:-

       29 May 1687 Nicholas son of Thomas DUNSTONE

   This looks to be your man.

   Earlier, there are:-

       09 Apr 1665 Thomas son of Joan DUNSTONE

       06 Feb 1657/58 Thomas son of Wearne DUNSTONE

   One of these probably is Nicholas' father, but more research will be needed to determine which.

Regards

George and Claire...thank you for the info. I will check things out.

Yes Claire there certainly are a lot of Dunstones in Wendron. Also in Stithians it seems, they could well be connected.

Do either of you know how they earned their living?
