Samuel Seward farmed at Whitstone Cross he had 60 acres, he also had a housekeeper named Elizabeth Vincent with whom he had 13 children out of wedlock. All the children survived childhood and I wonder if there are any relatives there. He farmed until the 1880s and then retired to Nadderwater where he died in 1890. Elizabeth died at Whitstone Cross in 1869. Oh, and by the way, after Elizabeth died he decided to marry a Selina Mary Mardon Lock, who died in 1900.
I have not been to Whitestone, but my great-great-grandmother...Susannah Bond was born there in 1799. She moved to Newton St. Cyres and married Thomas Crump there. Are there any Bond's still in Whitestone who might be distant relatives ?
