Very interesting - the deeper you look, the more involved the inter-relationships, Lucy Baldwin is a classic case.

I had not investigated the parents of Mirrium Parsons before your comments, but having found her baptism in 1857 I find I have - separately - both her parents Benjamin Parsons 1825 & 6th cousin 3 times removed Jane Tippins 1833 in my family tree, indeed if you go back 4 generations via her father William you get back to the same Thomas Wilce 1707 & Susannah Marfell 1706 I mentioned in my previous posting.

Benjamin Parsons 1825 was son of James Parsons 1794 & Mary Parker 1798 they had 8 children, their son Timothy 1816 married Ann Hall 1822 and their daughter Rhoda 1849 married Cornelius Brain 1848 son of Simeon Brain 1819 and Ann Marfell 1824.
James Parsons 1794 & Mary Parker 1798 also had a son James Parsons 1823 who married Theophillia Meredith and their daughter Mary 1847 married Timothy Yemm 1847 son of Amos Baldwin Yemm 1819 and 1st cousin 4 times removed Rebecca Marfell 1816.

The parents of James Parsons 1794 & Mary Parker 1798 were Thomas Parsons 1770 and the Lucy Baldwin you mentioned born 1771.Thomas 1770 & Lucy had 6 children. Their son John Parsons 1797 married my Great Great Great Great Aunt Ann Herbert 1797. Their son George 1804 married my Great Great Great Great Aunt Margaret Herbert 1806 - not sisters. Their son Ephraim 1817 married Amelia Baldwin 1817, daughter of Joseph Baldwin 1780 & Sarah Smart 1786. Joseph Baldwin 1780 being the brother of Lucy Baldwin 1771 who married Thomas Parsons 1770.................where we started. However I cannot end without adding a further Marfell connection - Lucy Baldwin's brother Moses Baldwin 1777 married my Great Great Great Great Great Aunt Lucy Marfell 1775.

My mother was told by her mother Jane Kate Treherne nee Marfell "never mention the Marfell family outside this house as wherever you are, there is sure to be one listening"
