Mockett, Sampson

Birth Name Mockett, Sampson
Gender male
Age at Death 19 years

Narrative

Sampson was an apprentice in Thanet ten months after Sampson the brother of Richard was married in Scotland.

I have found a second Richard Mockett born in St Peter's. So we have:
(R1) 22 Jul 1745 the brother of Sampson - parents Sampson and Mary
(R2) 11 Aug 1748 the son of Jonathan and Mary.

Good sleuthing! R2 would be the son of Jonathan M & Mary Fatham, see https://www.sackettfamily.info/g114/p114928.htm . I'll amend my records. R2 would also be the apprentice shipwright in 1765. I wasn't happy with assigning that event to R1 as he would have been about 20. Makes more sense to be apprenticed at about 16.

Gary
------
So using the same logic... Sampson Mockett being an apprentice carpenter aged 22 in 1766 is equally unlikely. Especially as Captain Sampson Mockett got married in Scotland later the same year. Perhaps the apprentice was the 19 year old Sampson Mockett who died in 1771?

Chris
-------
Yes, agreed. Apprentice carpenter doesn't fit with shipmaster, and the age was problematic. Almost certainly the carpenter was the one who died aged 19.
