General Notes
- John appears to have been able to sign his name.
  
  14 April 1761: John of Tonge was deported for 7 years for theft: On Friday last ended the Quarter Sessions here, when the following Persons were tried, viz. John Mather, of Tonge, near Bolton, Weaver, for feloniously stealing several Pieces of Cotton Velvet, the Property of Mr. James Hartley, of Westhoughton, and order'd to be transported for seven Years.
  
  This explains why there were no more children after Hannah in 1760.
