FHL PR 1472792/2 #209; FHL BT 1849287/12 #1410
Marriage recorded in Parish Registers, so they were not Quakers.

children:
John b 10 May 1696 d 19 Dec 1697
John b 2 Apr 1699 d 5 Oct 1702
Agnes b 7 Mar 1701 m 30 Apr 1727 John Edmondson dQ 26 May 1754
Margaret b 18 Dec 1702 dQ 25 Mar 1768
Anthony b 26 Oct 1705 (we know his mother was definitely Sarah, from his marriage certificate in 1731)
Elizabeth b 3 Oct 1708 mQ 14 Jun 1738 Samuel Lund dQ 13 Jan 1792

will
Lambparrock (1m NW Cowgill)
Will written: 10 May 1738
probate: 12 Aug 1743

mentioned:
wife: Sarah,
daughter: Agnes (1701-1754), married John Edmondson 1727,
daughter: Margaret (1702-1768), did not marry,
daughter: Elizabeth (1708-1792), m Samuel Lund 14 Jun 1738 (after will written),
son: James (1713-1769), married Alice Gibson 1735,
son Anthony (1705-) (sole executor), married Agnes Dent 1731,
witnesses: Thos Lund, James Mason, James Burton


There were 4 Thomas Masons who married in the appropriate time and not registered by the Quakers, and all children just recorded with father's name, so it is a matter of some speculation which children belonged to which parents.

  1. 15 Apr 1695 to Sarah Mason, FHL 1472792/2 #209
  2. 18 Jun 1687 to Agnes Burton, FHL 1472792/2 #208
  3. 2 Apr 1687 to Mabbell Thompson, FHL 1472792/2 #208
  4. 9 May 1702 to Agnes Sedgwick (he of Garsdale), FHL 1472792/2 #210
    Strangely, no children called Sarah or Mabel, just one called Agnes in 1701.
    My approach has been to assign nearly all children born after 1695 to Thomas and Sarah, taking into account the 1702 marriage to Agnes Sedgwick, to whom I have assigned Thomas b 23 Mar 1705. Not sure about Elizabeth b 20 Oct 1704, seems too close to Anthony in 1705 and also too close to Thomas son of Thomas-Agnes. Anyway, she died 25 Nov 1706.
