Research Notes

LDS in spite of the age gap both children's christenings clearly name Dorothy Prewitt as the mother. John Davyes christening record looks like a guess from burial info, ie no parents, Wint Earls probably based on where he died. Dorothy Prewett's Christening only nominates her father
