a house & warehouse & entered into the house in May 1791. I was partial to larches & called the place Larchfield. Pim, Maria & Henry were born there(?) the other children born opposite the house belonging to Uncle Benjamin Jowett. My partner who I took 1793 began to make use of my money when I decided to go to America to investigate when my wife suddenly died & I altered my plans. Instead of going myself I sent my son John in 1802 who was only 15 years of age. In July of that year I shut my house up & put the children to school & sailed for New York. On my return 2 years later |

I found all my children in Larch- field house waiting for me short of money then went into the cot- tage & after prospering again went into Larchfield again."
