- Notes: Bathsheba Anne Bowcher 1795 married John Chown on 27 Dec 1820 at Exminster. John 1796 was a bailiff (which in those days meant manager of an estate), son of Grace Soper and William Chown. Over a period of 14 years John and Bathsheba Chown had two daughters and five sons. The two eldest were baptised at Exminster - Richard 1821 and Eleanor 1823 who was shown on the census as being a dressmaker, living with her mother. Sometime after Eleanor's birth the family moved to Kenn where the next five children were born. Apparently John died prior to 1851 as that year's census shows Bathsheba as a widow.
