I'm looking for information on the siblings of my g,g,g grandfather, Joseph Eplett, gunsmith and watchmaker who died in 1846 after emigrating to Belleville, Ontario, Canada. I have some information on his family, but am hoping to find more details. Am willing to share what I have.
I have his parents: William Eplett m. Eleanor Grigg at St. Issey July 22, 1757. Wm. and Eleanor's children include: Hugh b. abt. 1758 (m. Dorcas Gerrans)bap. Apr 24, 1758 at St. Issey; William b. abt. 1761 bap. May 29, 1761 at St. Erme; George b. abt 1762 bap. Dec. 28, 1762 at St. Erme; Saray b. abt. 1764, bap. Aug. 27, 1764 at St. Erme, bur. Nov. 15, 1768 at St. Erme; Richard b. abt. 1766 bap. Aug 31, 1766 at St. Erme; Mary b. abt. 1868, ap. Feb. 17, 1768 at St. Erme; Samuel b. abt. 1770, bap. Feb.23, 1770 at St. Erme; and finally "my" Joseph b. bet. 1772 - 1776, bap. Dec. 29, 1774 at Cuby with Tregony, d. April 1849 at Belleville, Ontario, Canada (m. 1. Sep. 30, 1810 at St. Martins in the Field, London to Ruth Haydon, b. abt 1769, dau. of John & Mary, bap. Oct. 6, 1765 at Hittisleigh, Devon, bur. July 23, 1835 at Wiveliscombe, Somerset; m. 2 Feb 11. 1836 at Dulverton, Somerset to Charlotte Creedy, dau. of John & Maria, b. abt. 1811 at Wiveliscombe, Somerset, d. June 30, 1897 at Belleville, Ontario, Canada.)
I don't know if Joseph and Ruth had any children, but he and Charlotte had the following: Maryanne, Elizabeth, Eliza, Joseph and Annie. Any Eplett researchers out there find any of these names familiar???
