Thomas Parnell

5th Great Grandfather, 1737 - n/k

 

I think that Thomas was baptized at Ashprington, Devon on 14 March 1737; his parents were Thomas and Sarah Parnell.  He married Ann Tozer in 1765 at Stokeinteignhead, a small village in South Devon.  Thomas signed his name on the Banns whereas Ann could not write and made a mark.  

​

Above is a photograph of the village – but it may have been very different when Thomas lived there in the 1700s.
