I am seeking someone that may know the parents of John Guscott of Horselake. He married Ann Southcott on 7Jul1783 at Dunchideock.

Their children were Thomas, Jane, Mary, Rebecca, Jane, Lydia, Rebecca (another one, the first one died), Jemima (my great-great grandmother), and Josias Rowe Guscott.

Any information on the parents of these two would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Wesley,
Not much to go on, but I wonder whether your John GUSCOTT may be the child born to John and Grace DOWN in Sampford Courtenay (bap 8 Apr 1763). I believe a sister of this John, Mary bap Feb 1753 may be the mother of my base child, Thomas bap 1776 in Jacobstowe. You have probably seen the 1821 census at Horselake (GENUKI) for your family - I note they have a farm servant in their employ John POZELAND, also listed as being from Sampford Courtenay.There really doesn't seem to be any other Johns, unaccounted for, of the right approximate age.
Regards,
Lorraine

Thank you for your reply, Lorriane. At least this may give me some direction as to which location I should follow. Yes, I do have the 1821 census. Thanks again. I appreciate your help.
