Hi Barbara,
I'm a descendant of Emily Guscott, daughter of Josias Rowe Guscott, son of John Guscott, Jr. I also was wondering if Anne Southcott was the wrong wife for John, and perhaps her surname was actually Rowe. (Josias Rowe Guscott named his youngest daughter Georgina Rowe Guscott). However, I haven't been able to find a record for John Guscott marrying an Ann Rowe anywhere. The only one that pops up is the marriage to Anne Southcott. So the Rowe surname is really throwing me for a loop! Also interesting to note is that if Anne Southcott was born c. 1769 (which seems to be the case judging by the 1821 Census in which she is listed as aged 52), it would mean she was only 14 years old when she married John in 1783 – not unheard of, but certainly unusual.
Could you please provide the link to where you found the reference in the LDS Pedigree file?
Regards,
Guiomar
