Misc. Notes
Note that while the birth/baptism record
[4874] matches the names of his parents, it is not certain that this is the same John CHOWN who married Mary ABBOTT.
Lived at Husbands Bosworth, Leicestershire, before moving to Kingsthorpe, Northampton, in November, 1808.
[123], [124] Marriage record (to Mary ABBOTT) has him in Burford, Oxfordshire, at that time (1811) and he was a widower.
[479], [4872], [2374] This leads to the question of whether the John CHOWN who married Mary M. ABBOTT, is really the Rev. John CHOWN here?
Had two or three additional sons (possibly by the first wife).
[122], [123]Sons John and Henry may have had a different mother from Selina, Cyrus and Mary.
[3448]May have been a minister at Byfield.
[2367]The account in Source
[122] and Source
[123] claims that John’s brother was the William CHOWN who was the schoolmaster and poet from Moulton, but that is not currently in agreement with the present state of this family tree.
At the time of the marriage of his daughter, Selina, John’s occupation was given as “Clicker”, which suggests he was not a minister.
[4904]
By strange coincidence(?) a John CHOWN and Mary Manning ABBOTT were married 22-NOV-1811, at Whissendine, Rutland, England (
