GEORGE: Three Georges were born within 5 years of each other, namely

(1) son of William & Mary, Swimbridge 1689 (Group C1);
(2) son of George & Susan, Chittlehampton 1694 (Group C2);
(3) son of Robert & Thomsyn, Swimbridge 1694 (Group B1).

They married within six years of each other:

(1) GRACE ACCLAND, Landkey 1716 (Grace buried 1763);
(2) ELIZABETH BARNS, Landkey 1718;
(3) JOAN WILMOT, Filleigh 1722 (George buried Filleigh 1764).

Two Georges died in old age at Swimbridge, one buried 1775, the other in 1780. It is assumed that the eldest married first and that it was he who died in 1775, but one cannot be certain which of the other two married Elizabeth and which married Joan.
