- Notes: William and Grace's fourth child JOHN 30 May 1796 is very important because
he is the nexus in the Chown/Bowcher/Townsend family story.

On 27 Dec 1820 at Exminster, John Chown married Bathsheba Anne Bowcher
1795, the fifth child of Eleanor nee TOWNSEND and Richard Bowcher, son of
Deborah Chowne and John Bowcher.
Bathsheba's sister (wait for it!) - Jehoshebath Alice Townsend Bowcher 1803,
also married a Chown, Christopher from Alphington, son of Charles and Elizabeth
(nee Rowe) mentioned above, whose daughter Elizabeth married William and
Grace's eldest son William 1789.
