    Notes 
    • Since there is no burial of a John on the SFHG database in West Stoke or Funtington or otherwise nearby until 1777, after Grace appears to have remarried once if not twice, it looks as though the relationship was not a permanent one.
      It's possible Grace was working for John; I will try to find out more about him.
