Narrative

Mary and Sampson's first child was born 3 months after their marriage. Mary's husband died before he was 40, leaving Mary with their four children: Mary 17, Sampson 14, Richard 10, and Sarah 5.

Her husband's will bequeathed 100 pounds to each of their sons, and 80 pounds to each of their daughters, when they reached the age of 21. This was the equivalent of 25,000 and 20,000 pounds in 2023.

Mary and Sampson inherited their money, then Mary married Martin Cramp, a schoolmaster, when she was 25. Mary and Martin didn't have any children, and Mary may have died in 1770. Richard received his inheritance, and he and his brother set off for Scotland, never to return home. Sarah received her inheritance, and a few years later her mother died aged 58. Six months after her mother's death, Sarah aged 24, married Peter Cramp the brother of her sister's husband. Peter was a widow seven years older than Sarah, with two children from his previous marriage. Peter and Sarah had three sons: John, Thomas, and George.

        "Isaac built Hopeville House nearby in 1723 and over the next two centuries the Mockett Estate increased to stretch as far as the present St. Peter's recreation ground, with successive heirs becoming leading figures in the Church and 'squires' of the village."
