ROBERT
CLAPP Carpenter of Sidbury, Devon baptised April 9th 1749 in Woodbury,
Devon; died in Sidbury, Devon.
He was the son of JOHN
CLAPP and GRACE
CLAPP (nee PODGER). He married JENNY( Jane )
HERN
April 12th 1780 in Sidbury, Devon.
JENNY
(Jane) HERN / HORN, baptised 31st July 1754 Ottery St Mary,
Devon ; died of consumption
(TB) November 25th 1810 (170 years to the day that her descendant my father
died) in Sidbury, Devon.
She was (I would like much more evidence of this) the daughter of WILLIAM
HORN and BRIDGET HORN
(nee JEFFERY) of Ottery St Mary, Devon. Although there are Horn/Hern
families in Sidbury and the
surrounding area who in my opinion are much more likely to be her parents.
