    • This is no direct evidence linking this burial to this Robert Gittens. However dates fit pretty well, his baptismal record puts him at age 62 in 1774, and the burial record shows him as age 60. In addition, this is the only Robert Gittens in my database that would fit the events. CCG

    Family 1 Frances,   b. Abt 1716 
    Marriage Abt 27 May 1736 
    • I have assumed that this Robert married this Frances although I cannot find a marriage record.

      This Robert Gittens may have married Susan Ballard 1 Jun 1736.

      This Robert may in fact have married both women if one on them died. Death or Burial records??

      The marriage date calculated on the baptism date of the first child. CCG
