ABT 1751 in CON. If burial is correct William, born c.1751. If age at the time of signing the lease for Trelill Farm is correct, he was born in 1762

GENERAL NOTE:
See 07118 for St Endellion possible connections.Took over lease of Trelill Farm (which had been his father's farm) in 1799 when he was 37 years old. He may not have been old enough to sign his father's Bond in 1777 (if he was only c.15, or he may have been c.25 if burial is for the correct William), so the William mentioned there might have been a kinsman (perhaps uncle?).
