WINTLE of Westbury Rodley Stantway Cowley Elm (General)
Hi Michael
John & Ann Wintle were my GGG Grandparents & had 9 children:
Sarah 1783, John 1785, Susanna 1786, Thomas 1788, Samuel 1790, William 1792, James 1794, Ann 1799, & Joseph 1803.
John Wintle died in 1820 & in his will left Yew Tree Farm & Pleydells jointly to William & Samuel as tenants in common. Their brother John died in 1826, leaving his farm, Cowley's Elm to his brother William, on payment of one thousand, two hundred pounds. I think William couldn't have come up with the money straight away as it was owned by Mr Collins in 1839 & leased to William, who finally bought it in 1846. (see www.british-history.ac.uk )
Samuel's family continued to live at Yew Tree farm.
I'm delighted in all this interest in the Wintles & their connections -- are you another relative?
