BMDB data

     Sampson Dawe was born cir. Feb 1675 Meavy, DEV, ENG.3 He was baptized on 15 Feb 1675 at Meavy, Devon; Some trees have 2nd, bap. entry definitely reads 15th "Samson the sonn of Phillipp Daw and Abigall his wife was Baptized the 15th day of ffebruary 1675" (not indexed on fmp, found by browsing the images.)3,2
     Sampson Dawe married Joan Blanchard on 26 Jun 1702 Buckland Monachorum, DEV, ENG, as Sampson DAWE & Jane BLANCHARD.4,5
     Sampson Dawe died in Mar 1756 Buckland Monachorum, DEV.6,7,8 He was buried on 23 Mar 1756 Buckland Monachorum, DEV.8
     A search of the Buckland Monachorum parish registers also show an earlier Eleanor (bur. 1706) and a dtr ?Catherine? bap. Mar 24th 1703 (Old style date) to Sampson & Joan Daw.
There's also a Thomas & Margery with contemporary Buckland Monachorum baptisms, and a couple of Philips, Senr and Junr, being buried, 1728 and 1742 respectively, with one of them marrying Barbara MANNING in 1699. Many trees shows Phillip Jnr and Thomas as siblings of Sampson with Phillip Snr married to Abigail STEPHENS, and the baptisms appearing in the Meavy registers. As my Meavy register fiche are practically unreadable around this time period I was pleased to find that the images on findmypast are much clearer and browsable, albeit not all indexed. Phillipp & Abigall have, at least, a Phillipp, Samson and Thomas DAW being baptized in Meavy from 1671 to 1678, no marriage immediately obvious though.
Sampson Snr and Jnr were both tanners, as was the Sampson married to Grace Freeman HAWKINS. Does anyone know where this latter Sampson "fits"?
Possibly there's also a sister Abigail as there's a marriage in Meavy of an Abigail DAWE to a ?Lazarus Watts? in 1735.9

E. & O. E. Some/most parish records are rather hard to read and names, places hard to interpret, particularly if you are unfamiliar with an area.
