Comments about this page

Her maiden name was Lushington (sometimes mispelt Lusshinton). They had three sons called James (2 died). Their Son is also buried in this churchyard. Stephen MATTSON (family surname is spelt Matson, so spelling error on headstone). Stephen was married to Ann, had three boys on headstone Lushington Matson (named after Stephen’s mother’s maiden name), Stephen and John. John died before 1728.
