  Church Office	1742	Widecombe in the Moor, Devon, England
  	Churchwarden
  	Being a churchwarden an onerous task especially in the past in a geographically large parish and with the role then including a number of secular tasks. To distribute the work fairly the position was held on a rota basis in Widecombe (as in some other parishes in the area), rotating around properties. Widecombe was split into 4 'quarters' for some matters, and in 3 of these each property came up about once in 74 years! In 1642 it was the turn of 'Joseph Cleaves Tenemt. of land in Sherbourn'.
  Property	to 1747	Sherbourn, Widecombe in the Moor, Devon, England
  	Joseph Cleave clearly held the property in Sherberton which his father had before him, sometimes described as two tenements or estates. In those years in which the two were listed separately it can be seen that the rates were slightly different, being 2/6 for one and 2/4 for the other.
  Also known as	Joseph HAMMETT
  Died	Between 1747 and 1748
  	Assessed for the poor rate in 1747, but the rate for the same tenement was described as "The occ of Lt. Joseph Claif's Ten in Sherbourn 04 10" in 1748,
  Siblings	3 brothers and 2 sisters

  Married	3 Nov 1700	Holy Trinity Church, Gidleigh, Devon, England
  	From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 10 Jul 2021) "Joseph Hammet of Widdicomb and Thomazin Alford of soarton, were marryed _ Novem. 3d" No records of baptisms in Widecomb between Feb 1702/03 and Nov 1704 survive; it seems likely that Joseph and Thomazin would have had a child at this time, given the smaller gaps between their other children than between Joseph and Samuel. The Thomazin who was buried in 1726 may well have been their daughter.
