John Waters and Martha Crayford ©

Very little is known about John & Martha, but it is believed they were both born around 1735, and lived and worked in the Withyham area of East Sussex.  Although to-date no positive baptism records have been located, nor any information that would indicate occupation or parents of either John or Martha.

On the 30^th November, 1763, John Waters married Martha Crayford, after Bann, in St Michaels, the Parish Church of Withyham¹.  They were both from the parish and both signed their names.  The Curate E. Boyce performed the service and the witnesses were T Spencer and J Hall.

Records indicate John & Martha had nine children, all baptized in Withyham:  Thomas 1764; Stephen 1766; Joseph 1768; Martha 1770; Mary 1772, she married Edward Quaif 1792; Richard 1773; William 1775-c1776; Elizabeth 1776; and William 1777.

A burial record for a Martha Waters, in Withyham, on the 7^th March, 1788², has been located.  It is estimated she was around 53years old.

At the approximate age of 57, John was buried, also in Withyham, on the 2^nd September, 1792².
