Notes
1. Susanna’s 1795 baptism record from the parish of St Marychurch shows the family’s surname as Yow.
2. The 1861 census records James and Susanna at Ashton, a short distance north of Bovey Tracey, where James is farming 97 acres at Higher Barton. Their married daughter Susanna Cleave and her family are listed with them.
