I have been researching the Arscott family history and have recently visited Clyst Honiton in Devon, where I came accross a rather weathered grave for Elizabeth Squance wife of Oliver Squance who departed this life the 13 day of Feb 1799 Age 62, At the bottom of the grave it state Also Richard Arscott, unfortunately the grave stone is broken an no more is ledgeable. Can anyone help me with the Arscott link here was Elizabeth Nee Arscott? I have attached a copy of the image in the hope that this may help. Any information would be very much appreciated. Thanks Gill

Hello, are you sure that her age is given as 62 and not perhaps, 32?
I have an Oliver SQUANCE who married an Elizabeth ARSCOTT on 10 Oct 1790. However, I also show 2 daughters bapt 26 Mar 1801 and 3 Apr 1804 at Farringdon. Originally I had a death for Elizabeth Feb 1812 at Aylesbeare.
Oliver was baptised in 1763 at Farringdon.
WHen and where was Elizabeth born?

Thank you for your quick reply, Farringdon, is quite close to Clyst Honiton, so it could be the same people, as I said the stone was very weathered so I am not 100% on the age of death, If you want to email me at info@arscottfamily.eu I can send you more images of the grave, unfortunately I can not tell you any more about the Squance line, as I said in my message I am tracing the Arscott family for my website www.arscottfamily.eu, and I happened to stumble across the grave stone with many other Arscott's and snapped a few photos. I was just curious to the Arscott link with the Squance family. All the best Gill
