William STONE, b. Abt 1764, d. 14 Sep 1809 (Age ~ 45 years) (Father)
Susanna, d. Yes, date unknown (2 x Great Grandmother)Notes - (Research):There were 2 John and Ann Stones having children baptised in Stokenham during an overlapping period in the 1820s and 1830s.
The other was a fisherman in Hallsands, he was was most likely the one who married Ann Street in Stokenham in 1826. The census makes clear that there were 2 separate couples.
The middle name of Watts makes it clear this John married Ann Hobbs, and the presence of a sister-in-law in 1861 as well as John's age makes it clear that this John was the (ag) labourer, not the fisherman.

SouthHams website has quite a few baptisms of children of "William and Elizabeth Stone" from 1787 to 1808, all in Stokenham, which I think were probably the children of this William and Betty.
There was also the bapt of a Wm Stone in 1785, son of Wm and Ebbet. I wondered if Ebbet was an abbreviation of Elizabeth, but the marriages register shows a Wm Stone married an Ebbet, also in 1785.
Also, in 1783 a Wm Stone married an Elizabeth Norris in Stokenham. It's possible some, or even all, of the children are theirs, but from Betty's sister Susanna's will I do know Betty and William had children.
