Pill, Easton-in-Gordano, and Portbury |
||
|
Families of interest: ROWLES, plus ADAMS, ATWELL, BESSANT, BULLOCK, BUCK, COMERFORD, COMMER, COOMBS, CRADDY, MANFIELD, PORTER, SIMONS. With the help of Mary Mason and Jim Flack, I have traced my connections with Pill, Easton-in-Gordano, and Portbury back to John BESSANT, born about 1688. The BESSANT line has been well researched by Mary, Jim, and others, so please check out their web sites if you're interested. Most of the families listed here had links with the water - as Bristol Channel pilots and watermen. For those interested in the Bristol Channel pilots and their cutters, I can recommend:
