Will of Richard Hancock 1761/124 Intestate Statement made 23 June 1761 by Thomas Hancock of Baunton, brother of Richard Hancock deceased. Thomas Hancock, son of Richard Hancock, being a minor aged 10 years, pray that uncle Thomas Hancock of Baunton be assigned his guardian and administer his father's estate.

Thomas Hancock 17501011, son of John, was called an Upholder in the notes for the baptisms of his first three children. He married 17700222 to Mary Watts, and each of their 8 children died -
Mary 17701206 lived 22 days,
Hester 17730531 to 17740322 (10 months),
John 17760502 to 17770207 (9 months),
John 17770602 to 17810104 (3 years 7 months),
Thomas buried 17791025,
Thomas buried 17800406,
Daniel buried 17860424 and
Rebecca Holdham 17871206 buried 17880326 (15 weeks old).
This makes the churchyard memorial a minor mystery - Thomas and Sarah appears to have been baptised and buried elsewhere. I have linked the memorials because of the occurance of the name Holdham.
