Note
1. John was baptised at Swimbridge in 1701 and in due course became minister of the parish church in Swimbridge. His cousin John Yeo was baptised at Swimbridge in 1703 to parents Samuel Yeo and Susanna Laney. Of these two John Yeos, one married Joan Delney at Swimbridge in 1727 and the other married Elizabeth Slowley at Swimbridge in 1730. We cannot be sure which was which, but John and Elizabeth named their first son Samuel; this makes it more likely that this John Yeo was the son of Samuel Yeo and Susanna Laney and that it was Bartholomew and Margaret’s son John Yeo who married Joan Delney as indicated above. Other researchers may disagree.
