Susannah DYER, sister to Grace Dyer, the wife of his older brother Henry Chown. Susannah and William produced six daughters and four sons between 1764 and 1783. The eldest daughter Susannah 1767 wed John LEAR of Higher Shillingford in 1790 but her married life was brief. Her sister Grace 1771 then married the same man in 1794! Their older brother William Chowne 1764 was a yeoman and churchwarden who lived until 1834. Just four days before the First Fleet landed at Botany Bay, he wed Grace SOPER of Exminster. From 1789 to 1809 they had five sons and six daughters. Their eldest son William 1789 was married at Alphington in 1815 to Elizabeth Chown, daughter of Elizabeth nee Rowe and Charles Chown. William and Grace's daughter Elizabeth 1794, wed a cousin John Chown Lear- while Ann Chown 1807 married John ESWORTHY in 1805. It is tempting to think the name has been misspelled! William and Grace's fourth child JOHN 30 May 1796 is very important because he is the nexus in the Chown/Bowcher/Townsend family story. |
