(Age ~ 80 years) Married 19 May 1789 St. Margaret’s Church, Hucking, Kent, England
- FamilySearch shows a Thomas Sellen married an Ann Grigsby in Hucking in 1789 (19 May) but the PR shows it was a Frances who married Thomas (Thomas also shown as Thomas Seager in the same entry - presumably an error).
A witness at the wedding was Richard Whitehead, no doubt the Richard who was married to Frances' older sister Mary.
