FURSE OF KELLY
The John Furse who heads the account below may be the one of that name baptised at Marystow on 2 February 1677/78, son of John Furse and Bridget. However, there was more than one John Furse in the area.
No baptism has been found for Frances (Sleaman) Furse but she may have been a daughter of Esdras and Jane (Kinsman) Furse who were married at Kelly on 28 October 1675. Esdras and Jane had a son called Peter baptised on 11 September 1677 at Kelly and Peter Sleaman was buried there on 24 August 1699, two days after the baptism of Peter Furse, son of John and Frances.
