BARTLEY COUSINS THREE |
The William Bartley and Dorothy Kerby Family CousinsIn the early 1700s influenza and a number of deaths, particularly hard on children have began to appear. Later in the 1700s it is no longer seasonal to winter by occurs all year round. In St Columb Minor and particularly with this Barley family such occured and stunted the family's very existence. Later such as in the 1767 year a number of my other families were hit hard with mutliple deaths in the house hold in that single year. Such was the case with my Thomas Hender and Elizabeth Northy family and within my Moon family line. Even Smallpox would run heavy in the large cities such as London. Others included measles, Scarlatina and diphtheria especially severe in Plymouth, Cornwall and Devon in 1734,35,36 Whooping cough. Some winters were extremely cold and decent food would become scarce. Even Volcanic eruptions were making winters colder and longer. This trend carried on into the 1800s as well. (See this web site: @http://kdfhs.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=30) The family of Dorothy Kerby appears to consist of their father named William, Daurothy Carby (1661), William Kriby (1664), and Elizabeth Kirby (1668). So Dorothy or Daurothy married at about age 30/31 and had four known children, three of which died as babies and toddlers.

The name of Dorothy the mother is never seen in the available records again and it just can't be determined when William may have died. In short, at least 3 of the four known daughters of the family died as children with Phillippe not even having been baptized. |
